Chapter 106: With Me

Wuxuan on his safe return to the capital!" The old eunuch first bowed to Fu Zimo's carriage before holding up the imperial decree and announcing in a loud voice, "Your Highness, the Emperor has been...The man in black took the letter of introduction and glanced at the seal on it. His expression immediately changed, his attitude doing a complete 180. He bent down and respectfully gestured to Qin Luoyan with a please, "I didn't know you were an accepted disciple. Please forgive my rudeness earlier. Come inside."

Qin Luoyan nodded slightly, straightened her back, and walked into the tavern. The moment she entered, she immediately felt curious gazes coming from all directions.

Most of the gazes held expressions of astonishment, while a few people looked over with disdain.

"What's wrong with Tiangijue this year, allowing women to participate in the disciple selection Women should stay at home embroidering flowers and serving their husbands. What are they doing out here showing their faces They have no shame!"

"Well, that's not necessarily true. But this girl clearly looks like a beauty! Just look at her face and figure - any man would love her! Maybe the elders in the manor are attracted to someone like her, so..."

"This brother is right, he's absolutely right."

"I wonder when the elders will be done playing, and we can have some soup..."

"You're not wrong, it's actually quite possible. I heard that at the Tiangijie Pavilion, as long as you have real skills, there are all sorts of rewards you could only imagine, none that they can't provide."

For a time, all sorts of discussions were swirling around, completely disregarding Qin Luo'yan's feelings. Qin Luo'yan didn't mind, though. She didn't even glance at those people, and proactively chose a corner to sit down.

As soon as the two sat down, a waiter quickly brought them food. The food was all arranged in advance by Tiangijia, so they didn't need to order dishes. Several small dishes and main courses had already been served.

Er Ya ate a few mouthfuls of rice, and couldn't help muttering, "Miss, are we really going to Tianji Pavilion with these vulgar men"

"Crude" Qin Luoyan only glanced at those speaking, her brows furrowed as she sighed. "Indeed, after often looking at someone like Fu Zimo, the epitome of humanity, these people are indeed unsightly."

But as soon as she said it, her face darkened. Why did she bring up that dead pervert again

It's just that Erya didn't think there was anything wrong with her words, but instead she said dissatisfiedly: "Miss, those people are so rude!"

"It's nothing. If you find it unpleasant, just remember their faces. When the opportunity arises, don't let them off the hook one by one. After all, mountains and rivers change, and life is long. No one can guarantee what they will encounter." Qin Luo'yan didn't mind, she just focused on eating her meal.

If she guessed correctly, once everyone was almost gathered, the Tianjige people would propose a method for selecting disciples.

"Well, miss, I'll remember this!" Er Ya glared fiercely at those people, as if she truly wanted to imprint their faces into her memory.

Qin Luo'yan was amused by her serious expression, unaware that her knowing smile fell into a pair of deep eyes in the distance, surprising them with its brilliance.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the man in black saw that most people had arrived. He walked up to Qin Luoyan and whispered in her ear, "Miss, because you are a disciple of the esteemed masters, you don't have to participate in the disciple selection. However, due to your special status, in order not to cause dissatisfaction among others, please keep a low profile and just go through the motions."

"Uh…" Qin Luo'yan hadn't expected this. It seemed she had already received a pre-determined spot "Okay, I understand. More to this big brother."

The man in black nodded and walked to the front of the tavern. He raised his hands and shouted, “Please be quiet! You are all here to participate in the Tianji Pavilion’s disciple selection. Since most of you have arrived, I will announce the selection rules. Everyone will be blindfolded and led to a valley filled with traps. Then, you can form teams freely, with no more than five people per team. The first ten teams to leave the valley will pass the first round of selection. Remember, you only have two hours. If less than ten teams leave the valley after two hours, all other teams that haven’t left will lose their eligibility for the selection.”

As soon as the man in black spoke, the tavern erupted in chaos. This selection method had everyone buzzing. After all, this was the first time in Tianjige's history that disciples could form their own teams during the selection process.

Those who could participate in the Tianjige apprentice selection were already top craftsmen, and among them were two who had already qualified as silversmiths. Those in the trade knew of these individuals' reputations, so anyone with a bit of ambition gravitated towards where they were.

But in a short while, the two powerful craftsmen assembled their teams first, and they naturally became the leaders of the two teams. The few people who had ridiculed Qin Luoyan for being a woman earlier also became members of one of them.

Qin Luo'yan leisurely glanced in that direction, and unconsciously said to the second girl beside her: "It seems that heaven is about to give us a chance for revenge soon."

"Hmm" Er Ya didn't understand, but because there were many people around her, she wisely held back and asked no more.

The rest of the people see that the strongest candidate has already been chosen, so they quickly choose those who are still relatively capable. This is what "strong alliances" mean, no one wants to be dragged down by someone who is much weaker than themselves.

Half an hour passed, and almost everyone had their own team. Only Qin Luoyan in the corner was alone, sipping tea quietly. She seemed very peaceful, showing no discontent or resentment.

Well, she already has a guaranteed spot on both sides anyway, so what's there to worry about

However, others didn't know her confidence. Seeing her alone, those people immediately started laughing at her.

"I told you so, women should just stay home and embroider. What are they meddling in for Who would team up with a woman That's just courting death!"

"Oh my, maybe she's here to pick a husband! It's not like there are this many strong and handsome men at home."

"Haha..."

A group of people were laughing unrestrainedly, causing those around them to laugh along.

In the midst of everyone's laughter, a sturdy young man slowly stood up. He then walked towards Qin Luoyan, ignoring everyone's jeers, and said: "I'll go to the valley with you."

His voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear. Everyone was stunned, silent after a moment when the hall was filled with laughter.

This young man is none other than the one Qin Luoyan invited to dinner.

"As I said, I'll repay you when the opportunity arises. Just follow me for a while, and I guarantee you'll pass the first round of screening smoothly." The young man confidently raised his head, his eyes no longer carrying the previous naivety.
