Chapter 766: Entry Selection
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Bai was standing there when he felt as if something was staring at him from all directions, but then it disappeared.
This place was no different from the previous place. Although it was a small fishing village, it could be seen that there was no one nearby.
Chu Bai had wanted to ask around to understand the situation, but there was no one there.
Finally, he found a village woman after a few twists and turns.
“Aunt, may 1 know where we are?”
Chu Bai was about to ask a few more questions when the aunt suddenly pointed at a mountain in the distance and said, “You’re here to learn from a master, right? It’s just a days’ walk from here.”
Master? Chu Bai was clearly confused. What was he doing here? He could not even remember.
Oh, right, he clearly came to the new continent to take a look at the situation? How did he end up coming here to look for a master?
However, since she had already said so, there was no other way.
Chu Bai also wanted to join a sect and learn some orthodox moves, techniques, and so on. He would see what the situation was like before deciding.
Chu Bai followed the path that the aunt had told him and went straight up the mountain. As soon as he went up the mountain, he felt that his surroundings were crowded with people. Many carriages were parked here.
The people driving the carriage were all servants, but the people sitting inside were all young masters. One could tell from their elegant and luxurious clothes.
After all, he had to take a test before he could become a disciple. Chu Bai looked at his attributes. With his strength, he should be able to become an elder in the sect, right?
Soon, he approached the place. Just as he approached, a few uniformed men stopped him.
“Who dares to trespass into the Cloud Sky Palace?”
Two people who were supposed to be disciples of the Cloud Sky Palace blocked his way. Chu Bai did not waste any time and directly took out some money from his pocket and handed it over.
“Big brothers, I’m here to take a master.”
Since the devil emperor had once said that the people here were highly skilled in martial arts and their strength far exceeded his, it was better to humble himself and be a good person. When he had succeeded in his cultivation, he would come and take revenge on them.
“Oh, so it’s a junior who wants to join the family. Why didn’t you say so earlier? This bit of money is just enough for the two of us to drink tea. Come on, I’ll take you guys in.”
You guys?
Chu Bai was clearly alone.
He turned around and saw a girl following behind him. The child was dressed in coarse clothes and looked a little dirty. Perhaps she had just encountered a disaster or some difficulties, so her body was not clean.
“Aren’t you guys together?” One of the disciples seemed to have noticed Chu Bai’s confusion.
Chu Bai stared at the girl for a while before patting her head. “This is my younger sister.”
“Thank you, Brother.” The girl beside him was quite cautious. When she thanked him, her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
Then, the two sect disciples brought Chu Bai and the girl into the courtyard.
“What’s your name?” Chu Bai nudged the girl beside him curiously.
“My name is Liu Feixu. 1 saw you sneaking around just now, so I followed you. Anyway, if 1 stayed in that fishing village, I’d starve to death sooner or later.”
Liu Feixu was about 1.6 meters tall, and she was petite. It was obvious that her skin was quite good, but because she had been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, she looked a little tanned.
“How did you know I’d help you. What if 1 sell you out?”
Chu Bai rarely saw such a bold girl. He did not expect her to follow him in without any fear. Was she not afraid that he would not have helped her?
“Of course, I’m not afraid. Because I can see that you’re a coward and a kind-hearted man.” The first half of Liu Feixu’s words were quite uncomfortable to hear, but the second half made it hard for him to hate her.
Chu Bai’s temper was still alright, so he held it in for the time being. When he felt Liu Feixu’s soft touch on his arm, his anger immediately subsided.
“Alright, the two of you can wait here. In two hours, we will begin the sect’s entrance ceremony. Remember not to run around. At that time, Master will come to choose outstanding disciples.”
After one of the disciples finished giving his instructions, the two of them quickly took their belongings and left.
Liu Feixu made a funny face at the two people who were leaving, then turned her gaze to Chu Bai.
“Brother, you haven’t told me your name yet. Which big family are you from?”
Liu Feixu blinked her eyes and looked at Chu Bai pitifully, as if she wanted to get some information out of him.
“Don’t ask so many questions, child. Otherwise, I’ll eat you up later.”
Chu Bai was very experienced. When dealing with this kind of little girl, the most important thing right now was not to discuss anything with her but to observe the situation around him.
The surroundings were crowded with people. All of them were young masters from various families. They looked like they had lived luxurious lives.
Although they all looked like young masters, they were all good-looking talents. Presumably, their talent was not bad.
“Alright, alright. Everyone, be quiet. The selection is about to begin. Please stand in order. Those with secret orders or recommendation letters, please step forward!”
As a middle-aged man in his 30s or 40s walked out from the front door and spoke, many young men immediately went up to him. It seemed that they were the ones with connections.
These young men went straight into the house and never came out again. It seemed that it had been internally decided.
Chu Bai was pulling Liu Feixu along when he suddenly exchanged glances with the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man glanced at him, seemingly focusing on the armor on his body.
Only then did Chu Bai realize that he had not changed his clothes. He was still wearing the Five-Element Battle Armor.
If this thing was exposed, would it not be over for him? Fortunately, the middle-aged man only took a glance and frowned but did not say anything.
Chu Bai had already hidden in the crowd and changed his clothes.
Chu Bai was already very skilled with changing clothes, so he did not attract too many onlookers.
“306, 307!” At this moment, the middle-aged man read out two more numbers.
Chu Bai hurriedly took out the numbers that the two disciples had given him. It was indeed the two of them.
Chu Bai pulled Liu Feixu and quickly approached the middle-aged man.
“I’m the second elder here, Li Jin. You two have been chosen.”
Li Jin directed the two of them into the hall. There were many people in the hall. It seemed that the selection was about to end.
It was obvious that the group of young masters standing outside would not be selected. That was why they were standing there. It was said that they would go over when they were selected, but it was actually just an excuse..
