"Hah... I donât know what he was like, but he sounds like a really badass man." Long Chen stood with a smile.
"Hah, he sure was. Anyways, Are you going to keep sitting here? You should utilize the time and cultivate more. The bloodline trial is drawing near." She said with a smile as she informed him.
" Geez, canât you let me breathe for a moment? Iâm already quite tired."He said with a tired look on his face.
"You do realize that you slept most of the day, donât you? " She responded in a sarcastic tone.
" Yeah. Even then my mind wasnât able to rest properly. That stupid dream made my calm heart restless. I donât think I can cultivate tonight. " He let out as he looked down.
" What do you want to do the whole night then?" She asked with a curious look on her face.
" Why donât we talk about love life? Did you have a boyfriend? " He asked abruptly with a smile.
" You... " Xun couldnât help but facepalm herself as she disappeared.
"Hey, Xun! Xun! Donât leave me alone." He called out again and again, but Xun didnât reply.
"She left me alone. I might as well leave as well." He muttered as he stood up.
He walked inside his room and sat down in a meditative position. He had decided to cultivate through the night.
After half an hour of turmoil, he had managed to calm his heart as he began his cultivation.
He cultivated in what remained of the night. It was already morning as he stopped cultivating and opened his eyes.
He stood up as he stretched his body. He left the room.
He was all ready to leave the courtyard when he heard a knock on the door.
He walked towards the door and opened it.
He had expected it to be either Mingyu or Zhiqing, but it turned out to be someone else entirely.
"Little brother, good morning," Mikan said with a smirk on her face as she took a step forward and kissed on Long Chenâs cheeks without giving him a chance to react.
"Did you miss me, little brother?" She asked in a soft tone.
"May I ask the reason for Senior Mikanâs sudden visit?" Long Chen didnât respond and simply asked a question of his own.
"Is little brother shy? Donât worry, Elder Sister, wonât eat you up. At least not yet. " She started laughing as she looked at him.
"As for the reason... I came here to inform little brother something." She said.
What she didnât tell him was that Elder Jun was the one who sent her here.
"About what!" Long Chen asked with a curious look on his face.
"Call others first. I think everyone should know about it." She said as she entered the courtyard and sat on a chair in the hall.
"I can tell them. Just tell me." Long Chen said as he sat on a nearby chair. He didnât do as she said.
"Hah, You donât want your wives to see the Elder sister with you, do you? You want to keep the Elder sister for your own, right? Such an evil plan. " She said as she gazed into his eyes.
Long Chen couldnât help but notice her fingers that were seductively roaming all over her body.
"Are you going to tell me, or not? I have quite a lot of other things to do as well." He said.
"Oh my, Little brother is no fun. Alright, Iâll tell you. I came here to inform you about the true disciple exams. All temporary disciples can take part in the exams. If you succeed, youâll be promoted to a true disciple. The exam will begin tomorrow. The place of the meeting shall be the beast forest. So, donât forget to come." She said with a smile
" Oh, right, tell that friend of yours and your two wives as well. They can take part as well, although itâs not compulsory. " She said before she stood up.
" I shall take my leave now. Iâll see you tomorrow, little brother." She said as she left the place, leaving Long Chen behind.
Long Chen sat there silently as a smile appeared on its face.
"Itâs good that I donât have to wait for too long." He let out.
"Donât have to wait for what? " Ji Shan came out of his room and heard Long Chenâs words. He asked him.
"Itâs good that I donât have to wait for long to become a true disciple. Senior Mikan came and said that the exams to become a true disciple will start tomorrow. "
" Tomorrow? Thatâs awesome. It is indeed nice that we donât have to wait for long. I canât wait to get my hands on the book about beast taming. " Ji Shan looked like he was in a happy mood as he heard the news.
"Yes, Iâll go tell the others about it." Long Chen let out as he stood up.
He left the room and walked towards Mingyuâs courtyard.
It was still early morning, so he couldnât help but wonder if they were awake or still sleeping
He knocked on the door as he waited for the door to be opened.
He knocked again as the door wasnât opened for more than 5 minutes.
He knocked one now, but more force.
The door was finally opened.
"Good morning." It was Mingyu who opened the door. She wished him morning as she moved aside and allowed Long Chen to enter.
She closed the door and followed Long Chen inside.
"Is Zhiqing still sleeping?" He asked
"Mingyu! Is darling here?" Long Chen heard Zhiqingâs loud voice.
" Sheâs taking a shower," Mingyu replied to Long Chen.
" Oh," Long Chen nodded his head.
" I came here to tell you that the Beast Hall will be taking the exams for promotion to True disciple tomorrow." He told her.
He was about to speak more when he saw something that made him open his eyes wide.
