Although Ye Mulan felt that the Luan had embarrassed her that day, the Luan was a rare spiritual beast. To be able to make it recognize her as its master, her position in the Great Sage Sect was different. Therefore, she accepted the second prince's explanation. It must be because Ye Zhen had no spiritual roots and no cultivation that the Luan stopped in her hands. She had to ask her master for a spiritual pill in order to successfully make the Luan recognize her as its master.
However, because her cultivation was not as good as the Luan, she needed to work harder to improve her cultivation.
"Yes, the Luan is already my spirit beast." Ye Mulan nodded with a smile, glancing at Ye Zhen with an indiscernible look.
"Sister Lan is really amazing." Ye Baoyi praised exaggeratedly.
Ye Mulan's mouth curled up in a proud smile, "It's just a Luan, it's nothing."
"Not many people can make the Luan recognize them as its master, especially those without spiritual roots or cultivation." Ye Baoyi looked at Ye Zhen and deliberately raised her voice.
"Hurry up and go in." Ye Wei, who was standing in front of the crowd, said calmly. Today, he had allowed Ye Rou to come to the family academy examination as a show to let everyone know that the Ye Family treated every girl equally. This was to prevent people from thinking that they had purposely used Ye Rou as a scapegoat when they got engaged.
Ye Mulan smiled and said to Ye Zhen, "Third sister, don't be nervous."
"Mm." Ye Zhen nodded lightly, looking around with interest. The layout here was very special. After entering the gate, there was a large square with a stone platform in the middle. It looked like the sacrificial altar she had seen in Xi Liang. Surrounding the large square were several separate courtyards, each of which had its own area. Ye Zhen could vaguely see the words for Beast Tamers and Spiritual Pills.
Fortunately, the words here were the same as in the human world. Otherwise, she would really be blind here.
"Later, we will test your spiritual roots here." Ye Mulan pointed to the stone platform.
"How?" Ye Zhen asked curiously.
"Second prince, why are you here?" Ye Mulan didn't answer Ye Zhen. Seeing the figure of the second prince appear at the gate, she happily went up to greet him.
Jealousy flashed in Ye Baoyi's eyes. "It's not the opening ceremony. Why is the Second Prince here today?"
"Because Minister Zhang's daughter, Zhang Shu, is the niece of Imperial Concubine Zhang, so the second prince is naturally here to support his cousin." A woman standing in front of them snorted and answered Ye Baoyi's question.
"So the Second Prince is here for Zhang Shu. Then, will Sister Lan …" Ye Baoyi covered her mouth and giggled. She looked like she wanted to watch a good show.
Everyone knew that Ye Mulan and Zhang Shu were sworn enemies.
Ye Zhen listened silently and felt a little funny. However, this was also good. Ye Mulan and Ye Baoyi no longer had to pay attention to her. She was happy and at ease.
"When the elders come over, they will release the Spirit Testing Stone. We have to put our hands on the Spirit Testing Stone. At that time, the Spirit Testing Stone will show how much spiritual power we have and what kind of spiritual root we belong to." Standing next to Ye Zhen, Ye Baoping explained in a low voice.
"I see." Ye Zhen nodded gently and smiled at Ye Baoping. "Is it true that without spiritual power and spiritual root, one can't enter the family school?"
Ye Baoping smiled. "I heard that it is so. However, there are exceptions to everything."
"There are no other schools in the Western Continent City. Why are so many people here?" Ye Zhen asked.
"In fact, there are other schools, but only the Ye family's patriarch is the Great Sage Sect's Law Enforcement Elder. In the Western Continent City, no one can compare with the Ye family." Ye Baoping said proudly. Although she was from a branch family, her surname was Ye after all.
No wonder even the second prince's cousin came.
Ye Zhen glanced over. Ye Mulan's expression was not good. The woman standing next to the second prince did not seem to be easy to get along with.
"The elders are here." Ye Baoping said. "Now, there are three elders in the family school. They are all elders of the Ye family."
The founder of the family school was the previous generation's patriarch. The headmasters were all elders of the Ye family with high cultivation but were unable to break through. They all wanted the younger generation of the Ye family to be stronger than them.
Ye Zhen looked up. In addition to the three old men in gray robes with gold rims, Ye Shizhong was also there.
"Today is the day of our Ye family's annual student recruitment. Anyone who wishes to come to our Ye family to study, except for the children of the Ye family, must meet three requirements and swear never to be enemies with the Ye family in the future." The speaker was an old man with a white beard. He looked kind and his voice was deep and powerful.
There were already many people in the square. It seemed that many of them were of noble status. Ye Mulan and the second prince had already come to the front.
"This is the Great Elder of the family school. He is best at alchemy. Next to him are the second and third elders …" Ye Baoping explained to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen smiled at Ye Baoping, thanking her for explaining so much to her.
"Next, we will begin to test your spiritual power and spiritual root. For the sake of fairness, we will not be biased because of your identity. Please draw lots to test your spiritual power." The Great Elder said.
"Let's go draw lots too." Ye Baoping said to Ye Zhen.
Ye Baoping pulled Ye Zhen to the front.
"Just go by yourself. Don't pretend to be enthusiastic." Ye Baoyi glared at her sister. "Don't forget, the number of places to enter the family school is limited."
Even if she felt that Ye Zhen would definitely not be able to enter, there was no need to be so nice to her.
"Sister, we are all family." Ye Baoping said helplessly. She smiled apologetically at Ye Zhen. "Let's go."
This Ye Baoping was different from her sister. Ye Zhen could feel her kindness.
The two of them drew lots together. Ye Baoping was ranked twelfth and Ye Zhen was ranked twentieth.
"I heard that there are only fifteen students this year. Because of the competition with the Holy Sects, the three elders will go into seclusion next month to train the disciples for the competition. However, I heard that Sister Xin started her seclusion half a month ago. It was Aunt who personally taught her. She should be out in a few days." Ye Baoping said with a smile.
Ye Zhen had little interest in seclusion. She just wanted to know how to get to the Holy Sects.
"Are we … going to the Holy Sects?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"The last time was in the West Continent City. This time, we are going to the Holy Sects." Ye Baoping said. "Why, are you also interested?"
Ye Zhen smiled. "Even if I am interested, I may not be able to go."
She must find a way to go to the Holy Sects.
"Ah, Zhang Shu is going up for the test." Ye Baoping called out.
Zhang Shu was first in line. She walked straight up with a confident smile on her delicate face. When she walked into the Spirit Testing Stone, she inadvertently gave Ye Mulan a provocative look.
She slowly placed her hand on the Spirit Testing Stone, and the originally jet-black Spirit Testing Stone instantly changed.
