Chapter 240 - Acquaintance
Chapter 240 – Acquaintance
In a blink of an eye, a month had been passed. There was another month left before the academy recruitment date. The Profound Sky Divine City had become more lively as countless people from various regions constantly poured into the city.
At the southern city gate, a young man with a luxury golden robe just passed the checking process and stepped into the city. If Yun Lintian was here, he would instantly recognize this young man. He was no other than Brother Ye, Ye Xiaolong.
Behind Ye Xiaolong were his two bodyguards that Yun Huanxin had cut their arms back then. They stuck themselves close to Ye Xiaolong, trying to protect him.
"I said, aren't you two a bit too much? The divine city is extremely safe. No one dares to cause trouble here. You don't have to be this vigilant." Ye Xiaolong was helpless.. Since the upheaval event occurred four months ago, his Ye clan had risen in rank, and Ye Xiaolong had become the subject worth nurturing by his clan. Hence, the two bodyguards didn't dare to be careless.
"We can't be careless, Young Master Ye." One of the bodyguards said solemnly.
Ye Xiaolong sighed and waved his hand. "Let's go. We need to find a place to stay first. I don't know if we could find one." Looking at the dense crowd on the streets, Ye Xiaolong believed most inns should be full now.
"Yes, Young Master." The two bodyguards said in unison and followed Ye Xiaolong closely.
"Young Master Ye? Is he someone from the Sky Fall Nation?" A distance not far away, a young girl looked at Ye Xiaolong curiously.
"Should be. There's the Ye symbol on his robe." A middle-aged woman beside the young girl said.
"Let's go, Shuiying. We need to find a place to stay too." That was right. The middle-aged woman and the young girl were no other than Lan Ning and Lan Shuiying, who arrived here earlier.
"Mhm!" Lan Shuiying nodded. "I wonder if Brother Ye has come here." She muttered in a low voice.
Lan Ning did not say anything and calmly walked along the street. A month ago, her servant, Tu Cao, had reported to her about Yun Lintian after seeing him not far away from Thunder City. Lan Ning somehow had an intuition. Yun Lintian definitely came here. Perhaps they would meet again later.

"Brother, where are we going to stay?" On the commercial street, a young girl looked at her brother worriedly. They had arrived in the city today and spent the entire day looking for an inn to stay. However, the price here was too high. They could not afford a single room here.
The young girl's brother looked around helplessly and did not know what to say. He didn't expect that he couldn't even get a room with all of his savings. The consumption rate here was too terrifying.
"We will find again. There should be a low-cost inn in the other districts." The young girl's brother said.
"It would be great if we could contact Senior Ye." The young girl murmured.
"Chu Mi? Chu Heng?" All of a sudden, a familiar voice resounded behind the siblings. When both of them turned around, they saw Yun Lintian standing in front of a fancy restaurant called "Heavenly Cloud."
"Senior Ye!?" The young girl, Chu Mi, exclaimed in surprise.
Chu Heng was startled for a second before hurriedly bringing Chu Mi toward Yun Lintian.
"I didn't expect both of you to become this powerful in a short time." Yun Lintian was surprised slightly by Chu Mi and Chu Heng's progress. Chu Heng had already reached the ninth-level Spirit Profound Realm, while Chu Mi was at the seventh-level Spirit Profound Realm. It seemed the profound art he gave them worked wonderfully.
"It's been a while, Senior Ye." Chu Heng clasped his fists together while Chu Mi stared at Yun Lintian without blinking. She discovered Yun Lintian's temperament had changed significantly. Right now, he looked like an expert, filling with a mysterious aura.
During this month, Yun Lintian had finally stepped into the tenth level of Origin Profound Realm. If it wasn't because he needed to enter the academy, he would already break through into the Earth Profound Realm.
"Yes, it's been a while now." Yun Lintian greeted them warmly. He felt a bit uncomfortable as he used a fake name before. "Did you two just arrive here?"
"Yes. We are currently finding a place to stay, but who would have thought the price here is too high. We cannot afford it." Chu Heng sighed helplessly. His parents had given them all the family's savings in order to let them come here. However, all of those savings were useless here.
"It's normal. Every place has driven their price up because there are too many people coming in. Even the lowest grade inn would cost you a lot." Yun Lintian smiled faintly. He waved his hand and said. "Follow me. I will arrange a place for you."
Yun Lintian had a good impression of these siblings. He intended to help them out.
"This…" Chu Heng hesitated. He didn't intend to complain and ask for Yun Lintian's help.
"Come on. If you're uncomfortable, just working for me here." Yun Lintian saw through Chu Heng's thoughts.
Chu Heng and Chu Mi were taken aback and glanced at the magnificent building in front of them.
"This place belongs to Senior Ye?" Chu Mi subconsciously asked.
"Yes. Follow me." Yun Lintian said and walked into the restaurant.
Chu Heng hesitated for a moment and finally followed Yun Lintian along with Chu Mi.
When the two of them stepped into the restaurant, they were stunned by the elegant decoration. Their first impression was that a single meal here should cost their entire savings. However, when they looked at the customers in the dining hall, they were dumbfounded because they were wearing cheaply. They did not look like someone with a huge sum of money.
"Brother, look at the price." Chu Mi tugged her brother's sleeve and pointed at the menu board nearby the long counter.
Chu Heng followed Chu Mi's gaze and was stunned once again. The prize of a single dish here was only twenty silver coins. Although it was still expensive for him, it was much cheaper than any food stall outside.
