Chapter 248 - Coincident Meeting
"My father has the same stance." Qin Yuyan responded while elegantly tasting the cheesecake.
Yun Lintian fed Linlin a spoonful of cheesecake and asked. "How are they going to cooperate? As far as I know, it's not easy to suppress the Peng clan's business, right? Your clans have different businesses, after all."
"I got a task to kill the Peng clan's descendants during the assessment. Honestly, even if there's no task, I plan to do that, anyway." Qin Yuyan replied.
"Me too." Bai Qingyi added. "You have to ask my brother if you want to know their plan. I am too lazy to care about it."
"We can kill people during the assessment?" Yun Lintian didn't know about this before. Before this, he thought there would be a restriction preventing everyone from killing each other.
"Mhm. There's no restriction on the survival test. In the past, this test always filled with blood." Qin Yuyan answered.
"Why don't we form a team? We can help each other to deal with them." Bai Qingyi suggested. In fact, he fancied Yun Lintian's superb battle prowess. With him around, Bai Qingyi didn't have to fear anyone.
"Why not? Wait until the time come. We can talk about it again." Yun Lintian accepted readily. Though he preferred to go solo, having Bai Qingyi and Qin Yuyan around wasn't bad. It was free labor, anyway.
Bai Qingyi's eyes lit up and hurriedly said. "Remember, you've promised us. Don't go back on your words at that time."
For some reason, Yun Lintian suddenly felt as though he had been pitted… Maybe there's something I don't know?
"How are your preparations?" Yun Lintian asked.
"What else to be prepared for? I really want to start it now." Bai Qingyi wiped a trace of cake out of the corner of his mouth while replying.
Qin Yuyan also had the same opinion as Bai Qingyi. A fighting spirit could be seen in her eyes.
Yun Lintian didn't ask anything further and continued to feed Linlin.

A week later, every corner of the divine city was full of a bustling atmosphere because today was the academy recruitment day. Countless practitioners from various regions throughout the continent had all poured into the academy like a raging tide.
Thankfully, Yun Lintian took a precaution and arrived at the academy last night. He did not have to squeeze himself with the massive crowd today.
"So many people." Looking at the crowd, Yun Lingwei said emotionally. Even though she stayed in the divine city for two months now, she still became emotional seeing the masses.
Yun Lintian was currently queuing for the carriage. He glanced at the crowd that constantly poured into the academy and said. "I don't know how many of them could enter the academy in the end."
The majority of these people were undoubtedly coming from a commoner background. They all came here in the hope of changing their fates, but how many could succeed in the end?
Of course, Yun Lintian did not feel sympathy or anything. He understood well enough that the world had never been fair. It was just that thinking of the scene when a part of these people failed to pass the assessment could still affect his mood.
"Number thirty-four, are you here?" At this moment, a male receptionist, who stood beside the row of carriages, shouted loudly while scanning the crowd in front of him.
Yun Lintian looked at a token in his hand and realized it was his number. He raised his hand and said. "I am number thirty-four."
The receptionist looked over and waved his hand. "Please get on this carriage. You can bring only one follower."
Yun Lintian walked toward the carriage with Yun Lingwei and asked. "Can I bring my companion beast with me?"
The receptionist glanced at Linlin on Yun Lintian's shoulder and nodded his head. "It's fine. You can go."
Yun Lintian smiled faintly and got into the carriage. When he stepped into the inner area of the carriage, he was taken aback upon seeing two women sitting on one side.
"It's been a while, Brother Ye… Oh, not right, should I call you Brother Yun?" One of the two women said with a playful smile.
Yun Lintian smiled wryly. "Indeed, it's been a while, Sister Lan." These two women turned out to be Lan Ning and Lan Shuiying. He didn't expect to see her here.
Lan Ning had a calm expression while looking at Yun Lintian. A month ago, she had learned about the incident at the entrance and found the protagonist of this incident was actually Yun Lintian. Since then, she realized Yun Lintian had used a fake name to deceive her during Thunder City. This made her angry a bit. After all, no one liked being deceived.
The atmosphere turned awkward instantly. Neither of them says anything further. Yun Lintian sat opposite the two with Yun Lingwei and tried to break the silence. "How have you been, Sister Lan? Your strength has improved a lot. It seems you haven't slacked in the slightest during these past months."
Lan Shuiying curled her lips. "I should be the one who said that. The last time I saw you, you were only at the Essence Profound Realm. Now, you have already reached the peak of Origin Profound Realm. I wonder, how did Brother Yun do that?"
Although on the outside, Lan Shuiying and Lan Ning were calm, in their hearts, they were extremely shocked. They clearly saw Yun Lintian's strength and were confident he did not use any treasure to hide his power back then. How could his strength rise this fast?
A particular thought flashed across Lan Ning's mind as she glanced at Linlin, who curled into a ball on Yun Lintian's lap. She remembered something happened in Thunder Valley, and her servant, Tu Cao, had encountered Yun Lintian not far from that place. Coupled with his abnormally rising in profound strength, without a doubt, he definitely had something to do with the collapse of Thunder Valley.
Yun Lintian naturally noticed Lan Ning's gaze, but he didn't care about it. He believed Lan Ning had no malicious intent toward him.. And even if she had it, Yun Lintian wasn't afraid of her.
