After saying this, Ye Futian really left, leaving the stunned Wang Yurou behind.
She didn't expect Ye Futian and her sister's relationship to be so bad.
When Wang Linfeng had introduced Ye Futian to her, Ye Futian had been extremely arrogant during their conversation. She had also seen her sister's attitude just now. She must have humiliated Ye Futian. It seemed that her grandfather should not have let her sister bring Ye Futian here. She had wanted them to be closer and become friends, but she did not want things to backfire.
"Outrageous." Hearing Ye Futian's words, Wang Yuqing's expression darkened.
"We're not close. Yuqing, I told you not to be angry for someone like him," Jiang Nan said, smiling.
"If I miss the registration tomorrow, will I not be able to enter the Starry School?" Wang Yurou asked.
"Of course," Wang Yuqing said. "Tomorrow's exam will test whether your talent is up to standard. Then, the first round of selection will start. Most people will be eliminated in this round. Those who didn't sign up won't have the chance to enter the Top Three Schools unless you're extremely talented and the school can make an exception for you."
Tomorrow would be the biggest event of the year in the Divine Sky City. The whole city would watch and countless people would register for the Top Three Schools' assessment.
Wang Yurou sighed. Was Ye Futian really not participating? She thought that Ye Futian wanted the map of the Barren State and came to the Divine Sky City to enter a better place to cultivate. But it seemed that he preferred freedom and no restrictions.
Ye Futian wondered if she would be able to pass the first round of selection tomorrow. All the geniuses of the eastern region of the Barren State were gathered here. Even in Yunyue City, she was considered a genius, but in the Top Three Schools, she was insignificant.
"Do you know him?" Jiang Nan and Wang Yuqing looked over and saw a beautiful figure standing on the bridge. When Wang Yuqing raised her head and saw Gu Yunxi, she couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself. "Gu Yunxi, you're so beautiful," Wang Yuqing said.
Why did Gu Yunxi ask about Ye Futian?
"I know him." Jiang Nan stared at the beautiful figure and nodded. He didn't dare to hope for this girl. He could only look up to her.
"Since you know him, why are you slandering him?" Gu Yunxi asked. She heard them talking about Ye Futian.
Jiang Nan was surprised. This guy really had some tricks up his sleeves. He had only been in there for such a short period of time, and Gu Yunxi already had an impression of him?
He naturally would not have thought that Ye Futian had interacted with Gu Yunxi before. After all, in his opinion, with Ye Futian's status, how could he have come into contact with Gu Yunxi? The difference in status between them was insurmountable.
"Lady Gu, you might not know this, but this person has a bad character. Back then, he was cultivating in a small city and asked us to bring him to the Divine Sky City to cultivate. After coming to the Divine Sky City, he didn't work hard to cultivate and enter the Top Three Schools. Instead, he wanted to curry favor with the powerful and take shortcuts. His methods are despicable." Although it was impossible for him to have a close relationship with Gu Yunxi, he still did not want her to doubt his character in front of such a beautiful woman. As such, he naturally belittled Ye Futian to the point that he was worthless.
"Seek connections with powerful people?" Gu Yunxi thought of the Elegance of the Guqin Song. No wonder he could play such a song. Was this his experience? It was vividly displayed in that song, especially on the day of the end of the year in the West Court, where he had completely vented it.
She smiled. If he only wanted to curry favor with the powerful, why did he keep his distance from her? He could have used this chance to get closer to her.
"I understand," Gu Yunxi said emotionlessly. Then, she stood up and left. She suddenly understood why Ye Futian had left just like that. It was because he was disdainful.
Jiang Nan only sat down after Gu Yunxi left. He obviously did not understand what Gu Yunxi meant by "I understand." He did not forget to smile and said, "A person with a bad character wants to curry favor with the powerful. He does not know that some things cannot be hidden."
…
In the morning of the second day, the entire Divine Sky City was shocked.
The Top Three Schools would recruit disciples at the same time every year on this day. This year was no exception.
On this day, countless people rushed to the Top Three Schools to sign up for the test.
The first round of the test was the most basic one. It tested one's talent. According to one's age, one's level of cultivation, one's Life Spirit, Dharma, sorcerers' control of spells, martial arts cultivators' strength and explosive power, swordsmen's swordsmanship, and so on … From various aspects, one would be able to enter the next round.
This round was also the cruelest. Because there were too many people who signed up for the test, the first round would eliminate the majority of people. Those who didn't have outstanding talent wouldn't be able to pass this round. Only those with outstanding talent would be able to pass the first round and enter the next round.
On this day, many people were excited and many were sad.
Many people came from small cities far away in the eastern region of the Barren State. In the end, they might be eliminated after a few words. Those who dared to sign up would not be too bad, but in the context of the entire eastern region of the Barren State, they might be very mediocre.
Of course, there were also some extremely outstanding people on this day. Before the test began, the young geniuses of the clans had already become famous. They all displayed shocking talent.
Some people had twin Life Spirits and some had special talents. For example, the Dragon Girl of the Dragon Clan. She had just passed her 14th birthday and was already a Dharma Plane Dragon Master. Although she had only just entered the Dharma Plane, it was still impressive. The young geniuses of the clans had a strong starting point that countless people could only look up to. From birth, they received the best resources. As soon as they started cultivating, they could advance by leaps and bounds, crossing one initial plane after another. Their foundations were solid and there were no barriers to cultivation.
However, all this seemed to have nothing to do with Ye Futian. He cultivated quietly in the Celestial Pavilion, trying to enter the Noble Plane as soon as possible. That way, he would be qualified to roam the Barren State.
In the evening, the Celestial Pavilion was especially lively. It could even be said to be overcrowded. The disciples of the major forces had passed the first round of the test and were here to celebrate.
Long Ling 'er also came, but she did not go to the Fairy Pool. Instead, she came to Ye Futian's courtyard to question him.
Seeing the little girl's fierce look, Ye Futian could not help but laugh. "Who made my Sister Ling 'er angry?"
"What do you think?" Long Ling 'er glared at Ye Futian. "You said that you would go and cheer for me when I participate in the Starry School's test. Why didn't I see you?"
"The whole city is watching today. There are so many people. Can you see me in the crowd?" Ye Futian asked.
"You went?" Long Ling 'er blinked.
"See, you don't even know whether I went or not. What's the point of going?" Ye Futian smiled.
"You are forcefully suppressing reason and acting shamelessly." Long Ling 'er said.
"I asked. The Top Three Schools' test takes three days. Countless people participate. There's no point in watching. I should at least go and cheer for you three days later," Ye Futian said, smiling.
"Really?" Long Ling 'er looked at Ye Futian suspiciously. "You're not lying to me?"
"I never lie," Ye Futian said.
"I'll believe you this time." Long Ling 'er smiled suspiciously. Then, she walked up and hugged Ye Futian, saying, "Brother Futian, come eat with me."
With that, she pulled Ye Futian out. Ye Futian's head hurt. He did not know what to do with this girl.
Three days later, the periphery of the Starry School was filled with a huge crowd. Countless people looked at the holy land for cultivation in the eastern region of the Barren State. Today, the Starry School would officially decide who was qualified to enter the school to cultivate and become a disciple of the Starry School.
Outside the gate, there was a hubbub of voices. Countless people were discussing the Starry School's test.
"Three days, one in a hundred. It's too cruel. In these three days, so many people have been eliminated. Some people only reported their age and cultivation level and were immediately eliminated. They were not given any chance to perform."
"It can't be helped. How many people sign up for the test every year? The examiners are not that patient. If they see that the cultivation level does not match their age, they will naturally be eliminated. "
"This time, who do you think will be the most popular newcomer?"
"There are two youngsters who are already the center of attention."
"You mean the Dragon Girl from West Mountain and the young Roc from the Jin Clan?"
"That's right. Both of them are so young but extremely outstanding. The Dragon Girl from West Mountain has the talent of a Dragon Master, while the young Roc is known as one of the most outstanding people among the younger generation of the Jin Clan. They are not even 15 years old yet."
As the crowd discussed, people kept stepping into the Starry School's gate with tokens. They walked towards the vast square where countless people had already gathered.
Those who passed the first round would receive a token. In the second round, they could directly enter the school to participate in the test. Only their families and companions were qualified to enter to watch. The others could only watch from outside the school.
Suddenly, a dragon roared. An ice dragon swooped down from the sky and landed outside the Starry School. Many people made way for it and looked at the beautiful young girl. It was Long Ling 'er.
However, when Long Ling 'er reached the gate of the Starry School, she stopped and turned back to look at the crowd. Her eyes seemed to be looking for something.
Suddenly, a group of people walked out of the crowd. It was Ye Futian's group.
"Brother Futian," Long Ling 'er called out with a smile. Instantly, countless people looked at Ye Futian. Who was this person?
"I'll bring them to watch the test," Ye Futian said, pointing at Yu Sheng and the others beside him.
"Alright." Long Ling 'er nodded. Then, she took out her token and handed it to the guard at the gate. She brought Ye Futian's group inside.
Everyone recognized the little princess from West Mountain. Naturally, the guard would not stop them. Moreover, in principle, this was allowed.
Stepping into the Starry School, the vast square in front of them was already filled with countless people. On the stairs at the very front were people from the Starry School. Behind them, there were many Starry School disciples who came to watch. They wanted to see the new juniors.
