“Don’t worry, Senior Sister Hongya, I’ve still made a little progress during this period of time.”Lin Yun revealed a modest smile.
“That’s good, you’re considered a genius, but not many end up becoming truly strong, countless geniuses then die out on their way to being strong, you mustn’t enjoy yourself in the city and slacken on your cultivation.”Red Aya admonished.
“Thank you, Senior Sister Red Aya for your teachings.”Lin Yun responded.
As they spoke, the three of them walked into the inn, and the Sect Leader ordered his son to check in.
A few others, on the other hand, waited up.
“By the way Sectmaster and Grand Elder, as far as I know, the selection tournament that will be held by the Holy Temple more than three months from now, has the quota for our sect been set?”Lin Yun opened his mouth to ask.
“This ……” Both the Sect Leader and the Grand Elder’s faces changed when they heard Lin Yun enquire about this.
They hadn’t expected that Lin Yun would know about the Temple Selection Tournament.
Originally, the Sect Leader was still thinking that Lin Yun shouldn’t know about this matter, so he would muddle through this term, as long as he didn’t leak the information to Lin Yun, and wait for the next selection tournament to tell Lin Yun about this matter.
But now, it seemed that Lin Yun already knew about the Sanctuary Selection Tournament, and his idea of muddling through had been shattered.
“The spots have already been set, it’s your senior sister Hongya, your senior brother Yuan Liang, and your senior brother Langheng.”The Sect Master said slowly with his hands folded.
The Sect Leader thought to himself, so long as Lin Yun knows, after all, he was the Sect Leader and Lin Yun was just a disciple, this was supposed to be up to him.
“Sect Leader, there’s no senior disciple Lin Yun for a place in the Sanctuary Selection Tournament? The fact that he defeated Yuan Liang last time is enough to show that he possesses sufficient strength.”
Before Lin Yun could speak, Hong Aya opened her mouth to enquire.
The matter of fixing the quota was something that Red Aya didn’t know about before this.
“O Red Aya, for the Sanctuary Selection Competition, we only have three places, your place is definitely untouchable, there are only two left, and disciple Lang Heng, who is thirty-three years old this year, if he doesn’t participate, he won’t have a chance in the future, and I promised him last time that I would let him participate this time as well.”The Sect Master said.
The Sect Leader’s words were both explaining to Hong Aya and to Lin Yun.
The Sect Leader continued, “Lin Yun is indeed very good, but he’s still young, there’s still plenty of opportunities, let him cultivate well for another three years, and he’ll have a better grasp when he goes back to participate next time, don’t worry Lin Yun, the first place in the next Holy Temple Selection will be you!”
The Sect Leader explained so much to Lin Yun, but also mainly because of Lin Yun’s status as an alchemist.
If Lin Yun wasn’t an alchemist and was just an ordinary disciple, he would have just announced the results, where would he have explained so much.
Hong Aya, however, looked a little displeased.
“Sect Leader, you do have a point, you promised Lang Heng last term, so you should honour it, but Yuan Liang already participated last term, and it was the one who grabbed Lang Heng’s spot at that time, I think that Yuan Liang’s spot can be handed over to Lin Yun, the selection tournament is tough and dangerous, and I want a teammate with strength, not a drag on the heels of the likes of Yuan Liang.”Red Aya said coldly.
When the Sect Master heard Red Aya’s words, a few awkward colours appeared on his face.
If it was an ordinary disciple who dared to talk to him like this, I’m afraid that the Sect Leader would have gotten angry long ago, but the person who said this was Red Aya, and he didn’t dare to get angry at Red Aya, he was afraid of Red Aya’s status.
“Hong Aya ah, my son is the same age as Lang Heng, he is also already thirty-three, this is his last chance, Lin Yun is still young, he still has a chance.”The Sect Master said bitterly.
After a pause, the Sect Master continued, “And the quota I’ve already reported it, I can’t change it anymore.”
“Senior Sister Hongya, since it’s a done deal at this point, there’s no need to say more, I’ll just wait for the next term.”Lin Yun said.
Although Lin Yun really wanted to go to this Sacred Temple Selection Tournament to have a look, but the quota had already been reported, so what else could be done?
Although the Sect Leader had selfish motives for doing this, Yuan Liang was his son, and it wasn’t strange for him to favour his own son.
Moreover, Lin Yun was indeed still young, and there would still be more opportunities in the future, and although Lin Yun had a few uncomfortable feelings in his heart, Lin Yun could understand what the Sect Leader was doing.
“Originally, I thought that I could work with you in this Sanctuary Selection, but it seems that our cooperation is not meant to be.”Red Aya shook her head.
“In any case, thank you, Senior Sister Red Aya, for speaking up for me.”Lin Yun arched his hand in thanks.
During this time, the Grand Elder didn’t open his mouth to say anything because he knew that this matter was finalised and it was useless to say anything.
At this time, Yuan Liang had already checked in and walked over with the room key.
“There are a total of two rooms, Dad, you assign them.”Yuan Liang handed the keys to the palmist.
“Five people, just two rooms?”Lin Yun froze.
Yuan Liang looked at Lin Yun, “Lin Yun, what do you know? The auction is about to be held, the ancient town is flooded with a large number of cultivators, and the ancient town is just a few inns, naturally demand exceeds supply, the inns have long been full, most cultivators, there is no inn to live in, they can only sleep in the open air, the inn can give us two rooms in advance, that is still relying on the face of our Baiyun Sect, without the face of my Baiyun Sect, you only have the share of the streets.”
“Liang’er shut up, Lin Yun came to Qingyang Ancient Town for the first time, it’s normal that he doesn’t know.”The Sect Master said.
Only then did Yuan Liang not say more.
Lin Yun could see that Yuan Liang had been holding a grudge against himself.
“Let’s start allocating the rooms now, Hong Aya will stay in one room and the four of us will stay in one.”
The Sect Master said as he handed a key, to Hong Aya.
This way of distribution caused Lin Yun to be a little surprised.
Although Hong Aya was a girl, she was after all only a disciple of the sect, so logically, it was definitely necessary to let the Sect Leader live in a single room, and the rest of the disciples, the Sect Leader, would then rest in a room.
Now it was indeed for Hong Aya to live alone, and for the Sect Leader to follow everyone else and squeeze into one room, which was clearly not logical.
Lin Yun felt that this was the Sect Leader treating Hong Aya favourably.
Lin Yun had long since sensed that the Sect Leader and the Elders were treating Red Aya with an attitude that was even somewhat respectful, not at all like they were treating a disciple.
This made Lin Yun’s heart wonder, what exactly was so different about Red Aya that would make the Sect Leader and the others treat her respectfully?
The feeling that Red Aya gave Lin Yun was that she was mysterious and unsimple. ……
“Sect Leader, the room isn’t big, it’s too crowded for the four of you, let Lin Yun share a room with me, it’ll also reduce the crowding on your side.”Hong Aya said.
The crowd froze, everyone didn’t expect that Red Aya would say this.
“Senior sister Red Aya, how can this be! He, Lin Yun, has always had a bad character, letting her live with you, what if he takes advantage of you!”Yuan Liang immediately said.
Yuan Liang felt jealousy and envy in his heart, Hong Aya even took the initiative to invite Lin Yun to stay in her room?
One had to know that Red Aya usually didn’t pay much attention to him, Yuan Liang, when she met him.
Red Aya didn’t answer Yuan Liang at all, but instead looked at Lin Yun.
“Well? Are you willing?”Red Aya looked at Lin Yun.
“Since Senior Sister Red Aya has said so, naturally there’s no problem.”Lin Yun smiled and answered.
