CHAPTER 200: DAYDREAMING

After all, it was what he was the best at doing, taking on the role of a perfect gentleman has always been his role, so why waste this talent when he can make a good use out of it?

"I, as a recruited member of this group, will vouch for Brother Li. he is a good person who doesn’t have any bad ideas. So, shall we wrap up this topic? What do you say, this Young Master? As you can see, we are still in need of members, so why don’t you join us?" Bai Yunxian’s bling bling appearance was enough to deceive even the most shrewd person among this hoard of cultivators, not to mention making the guy before them go speechless.

"..."

"Fine, don’t look at me like that, it’s disgusting..." The guy awkwardly put his hands behind his head as he looked away, and the matter of dispute was resolved like that.

No matter how it appears...

It’s actually ridiculous, isn’t it?

However, anyone can’t help but to give up after seeing the tinge of red that could be seen on the youngster’s tip of ears.

"Thanks for being so generous, this brother! May I ask for your name?" Brother Li was speechless by the bashful look of this temperamental young lord, but it was none of his concern as long as he gets what he wants, right?

"... Xiao Shen. call me Young Master Shen, I have never permitted you to call me casually!" The guy seemed to pause for a bit before he spilled his name, taking a quick glance at them before taking out his anger on the fatty guy, as if trying to distract them.

"Sorry, sorry, Young Master. We will make sure to call you like this!"

The guys surrounded to flatter Xiao Shen, while Bai Yunxian seemed to turn pale bit by bit, even though he fought hard not to show his emotions.

All of a sudden, he was feeling breathless, as a bad premonition made its way to him.

’Xiao Shen? Why does it sound so familiar?’

’It couldn’t be what I think it is, right?’

Even though this guy didn’t look the same as that person, Bai Yunxian still couldn’t feel assured. Seeing his anxiety and restlessness, Mo Ling Yuan poked his shoulder as he asked if he was okay.

"Yes? I, I’m fine. It’s nothing."

Although Bai Yunxian laughed it off, he couldn’t shake off the bad feeling as he followed the rest of the group towards the counter where they will sign up their team to officially participate.

"What? Are you guys here to sign up as well? Just put your names and group name, your affiliation on this page, and you are free to go wait." The signer’s attitude wasn’t so favorable, especially when he saw a group of young cultivators that looked like beggars came up to sign up for the contest.

"Seriously? We are competitors who came from far places to join the competition, why is there an attitude like this?" Wang Lin, one of Brother Li’s lackeys, frowned as he complained about the register’s attitude.

"If you don’t like it, the door to outside is in that direction. You are free to leave right away. It’s not like any of you guys can make it up to the five hundred cultivators to get first place, much less to join the Academy!" The register snorted as he mocked the guys, not leaving an inch for them to talk back.

"Join the Academy?" The conversation picked Bai Yunxian’s interest as he asked the register again.

Bai Yunxian knew that the contest ended with the cultivators taking their own picks as prizes and returning to their own places. But attending an Academy? There was nothing of this sort in the past, so what changed?

"Hehe, ignorant brats, you never listen closely or pay attention to whatever the Elders say, do you? Just to remind you again, this year it has been decided that the young cultivators who joined the contest without any affiliation, if they make their place in the first five hundred, they will be able to join various sects and our renowned five star academy!" The register bragged about the announcement proudly as he seemed very pleased with himself, being one of the staff there.

From the way the guy was bragging about, Bai Yunxian was pretty sure that it was indeed true. If it really was a five star academy, then...

It was... a heaven sent opportunity!

Previously, the academy he attended in his previous lives was a six star academy, a place full of bad memories. But he never had the thought of changing the Academy or going to some other academy, it’s not because he didn’t want to; rather it was because he couldn’t afford it.

But now that the opportunity was knocking at his door, why not grab and use it to his advantage?!

In this way, not only he can gain benefits, but also repay the Yun’s by putting all his effort into becoming someone worthy of standing by Yun Shu’s side!

Yes, only someone qualified deserved to stand by Lord Yun’s side, and he will prove himself to be useful no matter what!

Even though Yun Shu never expected something from him in exchange for all the support, care and things he gave him. Bai Yunxian, however, felt ashamed of himself every time he was faced with those kind eyes. He didn’t know how to repay this person back, aside from the shameless persuasion done by Yun Shu, now he had the power and chance to finally do something, he didn’t want to let it slip away!

Yes, that’s it!

He will attend this Academy!

Bai Yunxian was determined in his new found inspiration, while both Mo Ling Yuan and Xiao Shen were looking at him with weird eyes which went unnoticed by a certain someone who was busy daydreaming.

Meanwhile, Brother Li was done with registering the group as he tossed a piece of white jade tokens to each of them.
