The recruitment of disciples by the Peony Palace was definitely a rare event in Hundred Flowers City. Not only were there countless female martial artists signing up, but there were also many male martial artists who came to watch the ceremony. Those who could join the Peony Palace were all good-looking people. There were many martial artists who had the same hobby as Tian Xin.
In these two days, someone had already prepared the venue. An incomparably huge arena stood in the center of Hundred Flowers City. The examiners' seats were set up on one side of the arena. At this moment, many examiners had already arrived and were sitting upright. On the other three sides of the arena, there were countless martial artists surrounding it.
"Why hasn't it started yet? I've been waiting for a long time. "
"Look at the examiners' seats. The middle one is empty. It must be because the chief examiner hasn't arrived yet."
"Which elder will be the chief examiner this time? Is it possible that the Peony Palace Master will be the chief examiner herself? "
"… You're thinking too much. How could the Peony Palace Master be in the mood to do these things? I heard that she gave full control of the entrance examination to Lady Ruo Xiangyi. She is known as one of the two beauties of the North and South. This time, we will be able to see her true appearance."
"You're thinking too much. Who doesn't know that Lady Ruo always wears a veil? No one has ever seen her true appearance."
…
Just as everyone was discussing, Lu Xuan and the other two descended from the sky and landed directly on the examiners' seats. Seeing this scene, the crowd instantly burst into an uproar again.
"They're here, they're here! The woman in the middle wearing a veil, is she the Chief Disciple of the Peony Palace, Lady Ruo Xiangyi? "
"It should be, but why does she look a bit similar to Lady Yijun of Hundred Flowers Tower? Moreover, she brought two men to the examiners' seats. When did the Peony Palace recruit male disciples? Then I want to be the first to sign up. "
"Hey, aren't those two men the ones who were jealous of the two playboys at the Hundred Flowers Tower two days ago and even threw the two playboys off the top of the tower?"
"It seems like it's true. The two of them are not simple. See that one in white? I think his surname is Lu. That day, before the Golden Cloud Restaurant, He Wen and Zhuang Xiangming joined hands but still couldn't beat him. That arrogant Zhuang Xiangming died on the spot."
"I know about this. They are still with Miss Yi Jun … Wait, is Miss Yi Jun really the chief disciple of the Peony Palace, Ruo Xiangyi?!"
Seeing Lu Xuan appear together with Ruo Xiangyi, many martial artists suddenly felt that something was wrong. Taking a closer look at Ruo Xiangyi's appearance, although it was slightly different from Lady Yi Jun's, it was still very similar. For a time, the matter of Lady Yi Jun being the chief disciple of Peony Palace, Ruo Xiangyi, spread like the wind.
As for the martial artists who had once supported Lady Yi Jun, they were even more pleased with themselves. The person they were chasing after was not just any ordinary brothel girl, but one of the famous Northern and Southern Prides, Ruo Xiangyi!
The discussions of the crowd naturally reached the ears of Lu Xuan and the others. Ruo Xiangyi just smiled faintly. She had never thought of going to the Hundred Flowers Tower again anyway. So what if she knew?
At this moment, a woman in the examiner's seating area stood up and looked at Lu Xuan and Ruo Xiangyi in astonishment. She then said to Ruo Xiangyi, "Xiangyi, you were previously so secretive about who will be the chief examiner this time. Can you tell us now? Or are you going to be the chief examiner yourself? Also, who are these two people? This is the day of our Peony Palace's entrance selection. Why did you bring two men here? "
Ruo Xiangyi chuckled, "My strength is low, so of course, I won't be the chief examiner. As for these two … he is the chief examiner you are concerned about."
Then, Ruo Xiangyi pointed at Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan slightly cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I am Lu Xuan, please advise me."
At this moment, the woman was shocked by Ruo Xiangyi's words. She almost thought that she had heard wrong. The Peony Palace was an all-female sect. How could they let an outsider, and a man at that, be the chief examiner of the entrance selection?
Immediately, she ignored Lu Xuan's greeting and angrily looked at Ruo Xiangyi, "Xiangyi, this is a major event for the sect. It cannot be joked about. How can these two people be the chief examiners? Doing this is simply risking universal condemnation! If there is no one else, then I will be the chief examiner. "
Ruo Xiangyi's smile immediately disappeared as she looked at the woman and said, "Elder Liu Yun, I am the person who planned this selection. All appointments are decided by me. Don't you know this? Since I said that Lu Xuan is the chief examiner, then Lu Xuan is the chief examiner! "
"You! You are acting recklessly! " Liu Yun angrily said, "Who doesn't know that our Peony Palace is only female? Now you want two men from outside the palace to be the chief examiners? This is simply absurd. I will report this matter to the Palace Master and see if she agrees!"
"Alright, then go and report it." Ruo Xiangyi casually said, "Since Elder Liu Yun has something to do, then your position as the chief examiner will be temporarily vacant. Please."
Ruo Xiangyi gestured for her to leave. Liu Yun was at a loss for words. If she really left, then let alone the chief examiner, she wouldn't even be able to be an ordinary examiner. Besides, Ruo Xiangyi had always been trusted by Hua Yuling. Since she dared to use two men as the chief examiners, she most likely had Hua Yuling's consent.
She hatefully swung her sleeves and said, "Since you insist on doing things your own way, then I will follow you. If you suffer criticism in the future, don't blame me for not warning you."
Seeing that Liu Yun refused to leave, a trace of contempt flashed in Ruo Xiangyi's eyes. She then said to Lu Xuan, "There is no need to lock her up. This woman is a loyal dog under Luo Xianghan. Later, the main thing is to guard against her."
Lu Xuan nodded, "I understand."
Ruo Xiangyi sweetly smiled and said, "Lord Chief Examiner, please take a seat."
Lu Xuan did not decline. He had already come this far, and if he continued to act coy, it would only make him look more like a joke. He would also embarrass Ruo Xiangyi. He immediately walked up to the examiners' table and sat down on the seat of the main examiner in the middle.
Tian Xin quickly got into her role and obediently walked behind Lu Xuan. She glanced around and found that there wasn't even a chair. She couldn't help but lament in her heart, "Why is my treatment so bad?" Lu Xuan sat in the best seat, but she didn't even have a place to sit.
"Look, look, why is that man sitting in the chief examiner's seat? Is he the chief examiner this time? "
"It can't be, the Peony Palace is a sect made up of women. Even if there are men in the palace, they are only guests. They usually don't stay in the palace. Why is there a man here?"
"Ah, I understand. This guy must be a guest of the Peony Palace. He is probably the husband of an elder. He looks young, but I don't know how old he is."
"Shh! Old monsters hate it when people call them old monsters. Don't offend him. He is an expert who could kill Zhuang Xiangming. Killing you is as easy as lifting a finger. "
Ignoring the discussion of the crowd, Ruo Xiangyi glanced at them and rose into the sky. She said in a clear voice, "Fellow cultivators, I am the chief disciple of the Peony Palace Master, Ruo Xiangyi. I am also the person in charge of the entrance selection of the Peony Palace. Before the selection begins, I would like to introduce the chief examiner of the selection and the entrance examination."
"It really is Ruo Xiangyi!"
"I really want to see what kind of peerless beauty she has under her veil. Just this alone is enough to tempt me."
…
Ruo Xiangyi stretched out her hand and gestured for the crowd to quiet down. She opened her mouth again and said, "In order to give a fair competition environment to the sisters who want to join the Peony Palace, Master has instructed me to ensure that the selection is fair and that no favoritism is allowed. No matter which elder you are, if you don't have enough strength, don't even think about entering the Peony Palace."
"Well said, Miss Ruo!" There was a burst of applause and cheers from the audience, but there were still many people who shook their heads slightly. She had said the same thing in the past, but wasn't favoritism still favoritism? Some people even showed a hint of contempt. These people all had connections in the Peony Palace, and they had long been connected to them. Naturally, they scoffed at Ruo Xiangyi's words.
"I know, I'm afraid that many people are skeptical of my words. Now, let me introduce to everyone the candidate for the chief examiner!" Ruo Xiangyi said again, "In order to prevent people with bad intentions in the palace from helping each other, I have specially invited a young genius from the Xuan Ice Pavilion to oversee the selection! The personal disciple of Elder Zhao Ying of the Xuan Ice Pavilion — Lu Xuan! "
As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly burst into an uproar. They originally thought that Lu Xuan, who was sitting in the chief examiner's seat, was a guest of the Peony Palace, an old monster. They didn't expect that he was not from the Peony Palace, but from the Xuan Ice Pavilion. Moreover, he was completely different from the old monster they had imagined. He was a young man, a personal disciple of the Xuan Ice Pavilion!
Lu Xuan stood up and greeted the crowd, "Greetings, fellow cultivators. Today, I am honored to be the chief examiner of the Peony Palace's entrance selection. I must maintain a fair environment. If anyone has any objections during the selection process, please raise them at any time."
Ruo Xiangyi looked at Lu Xuan with a slight smile, nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "The entrance selection is divided into three tests: appearance, temperament, and strength. I presume that everyone knows that the disciples of the Peony Palace have always been top-notch in appearance and talent. This time, we cannot break this rule. The first two tests will be conducted at the same time, and those who pass will enter the third test of strength. Now, the test will begin. Next, I will entrust the chief examiner, Lu Xuan. "
Lu Xuan stood up from his chair, slowly stepped forward, and said, "The first one hundred applicants, please step onto the arena. Below, we will begin the temperament test. The temperament test will use an illusory array that I personally made. Absolutely no one knows about the illusory array. If you fail, I will send you out of the arena and disqualify you."
