1596: Registration

Registration

"These two people may look matched in age, but they don't make a good pairing at all."2

"It's obvious that the man is gentle and refined, with an extremely good temper. The woman, though, isn't so much. She's so irritable and wears such an aloof expression. Who does she think she's putting on that attitude for."

Qiao Mu chortled and turned to Qi Xuanxuan, remarking, "We don't know them anyways, so what's the use in minding so much."

Qi Xuanxuan nodded. After circling around the city center, sure enough, they saw written on the notice board: 'Two days later, Sunlight Academy will proceed with the first round of student screenings in Wengka City! If interested, head to the registration site at the city center to proceed with the exam.'

Seeing that the notice had included so many details, Qi Xuanxuan read it over silently twice to memorize it.

"Alright, I've memorized it." She then took Qiao Mu's hand and walked back.

"If there isn't anything else, how about we cultivate in closed-door cultivation during these two days."

"There isn't much to do in this Wengka City anyway. I reckon it's just a bit bigger than Julu City."

"Sure," Qiao Mu agreed with a nod.

However, the duo did not know that their closed-door cultivation for the next two days made the people outside anxious to death.

The third manager's son got sealed inside that ice block for a full 20 hours!

The third manager had finally rescued his son from the ice block after requesting for many experts and masters' assistance. He had truly made a Herculean effort!

After finally getting his son out, the third manager discovered that his son was still unable to speak. He seemed to have been poisoned mute.

This time, he was afraid to lose his temper and hastily sent people to search for that female talisman practitioner. He did not hesitate to spend a huge sum to mobilize the entire city in this search for Qiao Mu, just so she could detoxify his son's poison.

However, Qiao Mu was completely oblivious to all of this. By the time she and Qi Xuanxuan had come out of closed-door cultivation, Sunlight Academy's entrance exam was already proceeding like a raging fire at the city center.

After the two washed up and grabbed a quick bite, they hurried toward Sunlight Academy's registration site.

From afar, there was a huge mass of black heads at the city center, and the duo looked at each other in dismay.

Nevertheless, Qi Xuanxuan was giddy. "Sunlight Academy lives up to its name. This registration site is truly packed! We probably have to wait a long time with so many people registering."

There were four testing tables set up at the registration site. The duo lined up at the end of the third line. Seeing that the line was inching forward at a turtle's pace, Qiao Mu couldn't help looking around.

Qiao Mu couldn't help but be deflated when she didn't catch a glimpse of Situ Yi and the rest even after looking for a long time.

Where did Senior Brother Situ and the others go?

Could it be that they had some fortuitous encounter just upon entering Shuntian Prefecture?

"Qiaoqiao, don't think too much. Just make the best out of the situation. Since we don't know where to go anyway, we might as well go to Sunlight Academy and train for half a year in a closed environment to advance our cultivation. What do you think?"

"Of course, it is all up to good luck for our cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds."

"Hey, Qiaoqiao! Look over there, they carried out another table. Is it because there are too many people that they temporarily added another testing table?"

"It's very possible!" Qiao Mu nodded.

"Then let's hurry over!" Qi Xuanxuan deftly bounced toward the fifth table that had just been set up with Qiao Mu in tow.

The two people were coincidentally the first ones at the table.

"It's you two?" An aloof voice suddenly entered the duo's ears.

Qiao Mu looked up and saw that it just so happened to be that man and woman they encountered at the entrance of the talisman shop two days earlier.
