Chapter 12 - The Start Of The Lotus Moon Exams!

Her question didn't seem to affect Liang Jun at all, and she responded with a calm smile.

"I'm from the Liang family. We have a very close relationship with the Lotus Moon Sect."

"Ah, gotcha. But, like, how OP *cough,* strong is your fam, though?"

A thoughtful expression crossed Liang Jun's face as he pondered.

"Pretty strong." He said vaguely

Despite her curiosity, Lin Siyu refrained from asking any more questions.

Although she wanted to know more, she was afraid it would be impolite to ask.

Instead of discussing the topic further, she redirected the conversation.

"Well, I'm hyped to tackle that entrance exam. No lie," Lin Siyu said, smiling.

Liang Jun laughed lightly. "Me too."

The servants wiped their foreheads nervously while listening to the conversation between the two, unsure if the girl was naive or daring.

The two continued chatting for a while before they arrived at the Lotus Moon Sect entrance exam site.

"I have one question." Lin Siyu said, turning to Liang Jun.

"Say." Jun waved his hand.

"Why is the entrance exam here in a town?"

Liang Jun's face didn't change and explained.

"The Lotus Moon Sect has a policy where they hold their entrance exams in different towns each year, and the exam area is usually in a different place every time."

Lin Siyu frowned, thinking how inconvenient it must be.

"That makes sense, because the sect can recruit more potential disciples that way," she replied.

Liang Jun nodded.

"Indeed."

"But where is the Sect located?" Lin Siyu asked.

Liang Jun gave her a strange look. "Your lack of knowledge is quite apparent, isn't it?"

Lin Siyu waved her hand in embarrassment.

Liang Jun didn't tease her anymore and said casually, "Given your evident lack of understanding, I shall take it upon myself to provide certain explanations."

Liang Jun cleared his throat before beginning his speech.

"Residing upon the continent of Longchao, we find ourselves encompassed by the dominion of the Lotus Moon Sect. Other insignificantly influential sects also stake their presence here. The realm of Longchao is enclosed by seven distinct peaks, among which stand the Obsidian Bridge. These peaks each govern their own territories. Addressing your primary inquiry: the precise whereabouts of the Lotus Moon Sect remain elusive. Nevertheless, it's worth noting that every peak harbours a teleportation nexus facilitating entry."

Lin Siyu listened and gathered as much knowledge as possible about the Lotus Moon Sect.

As the carriage arrived at the entrance exam area, the two of them disembarked.

There were many people already there, and the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement.

She even saw her siblings at the site and her siblings saw her.

"Sister Zhirou, why is Siyu coming out of a carriage?" Lin Xinyu asked strangely.

Lin Chenyu on the side picked up his ears hearing this.

Lin Siyu saw her siblings and ran over to them.

"Hi, how's everyone doing?" She asked, smiling.

Lin Xinyu pouted.

"What the hell? You come out of a fancy carriage and then ask how we are? Sister, you have a lot of explaining to do!"

Lin Siyu chuckled and shook her head.

"No biggie. Just bumped into a pal. That's the scoop."

"A friend?" Lin Chenyu asked, intrigued.

"Yeah, we crossed paths at a store a couple of weeks back. Dude's name's Liang Jun."

"Interesting..."

Lin Chenyu muttered, his interest in the conversation rising.

"I'm gonna go find him. See you guys later."

With that, Lin Siyu walked off, leaving her siblings behind.

Lin Xinyu huffed, a bit annoyed.

"Who is this Liang Jun? Is he rich?"

Lin Chenyu's face didn't change and replied.

"His mother is the daughter of the current ruler of the Lotus Moon Sect."

Lin Xinyu was astonished.

"What?!? Then why did he talk to our Siyu?"

Lin Chenyu shrugged.

"Beats me."

Lin Zhirou looked at Chenyu with weird eyes, not knowing how he'd know such a thing.

But considering Liang Jun's identity, it wouldn't be that hard to find out with a little searching.

Meanwhile, Lin Siyu was chatting with Liang Jun.

"It's almost time for the entrance exam. Are you ready?" Liang Jun asked.

Lin Siyu nodded.

"I am."

The two of them stood side by side as the crowd gathered.

"Young Master! I'm here as well!" Su Mo came running towards them.

He stopped in front, panting. "Oh.. you're here as well." He said to Siyu, coughing as he tried to catch his breath.

Liang Jun ignored him and looked at Lin Siyu.

"Looks like the entrance exam is about to start. Good luck, Lin Siyu," He said, smiling.

"You too," she said, smiling back.

Su Mo felt awkward but said nothing.

Lin Siyu detected that Liang Jun's presence was different now. There was something unique about him.

He emanated an aura of coldness that made people want to steer clear of him.

Lin Siyu turned her head and noticed the crowd was getting larger and larger.

She looked at the sky, and it was almost dusk.

'Hmm, guess it's time.' She thought.

The three of them stood silently, waiting for the entrance exam to begin.

As the sunset, the atmosphere became more intense.

"It's almost time." A voice rang out.

The crowd fell silent as the voice spoke.

"Welcome to the Lotus Moon Sect Entrance Exams. We hope everyone has been training hard. Now, let the test begin!"

The voice was calm and authoritative.

It was like the voice of someone who was used to commanding others.

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw an elderly man.

The elderly man was wearing a dark purple robe and had a long white beard.

His eyes were sharp, and he had an air of confidence about him.

The elderly man scanned the crowd and nodded.

"Before we start, I will introduce myself. I am Elder Wu, and I will be in charge of the entrance exam."

"Please don't be nervous. The examination will not be difficult, but you must give it your all."

Elder Wu's voice was calm and reassuring.

The crowd was silent as the old man spoke.

"Now, let us begin."

Lin Siyu gulped.

She could feel the tension in the air.

It was like she returned to school and was about to write her final exams.

"For the first part of the examination, we will test your theoretical knowledge," Elder Wu announced.

"Please follow me to the lecture hall."

With that, Elder Wu led the crowd to a large hall.

Lin Siyu followed along with the rest of the crowd.

Inside the hall, there were rows of desks and chairs.

Each desk had a piece of paper and a pencil on it.

Elder Wu walked to the front of the room and addressed the crowd.

"The first part of the examination will be a written test. You will have one hour to complete it. Please take a seat and begin."

Lin Siyu went up and took her seat.

She glanced around and noticed a lot of familiar faces.

Most notably, Liang Jun and Su Mo were sitting next to her.

Lin Siyu sat down and looked at the piece of paper in front of her.

The first part of the entrance exam comprised a series of questions related to the cultivation world.

The questions covered topics such as the different cultivation realms, spirit roots, and the history of the Lotus Moon Sect.

The thing is, she knows nothing about this world.

She doesn't even have a basic understanding of the cultivation world.

Lin Siyu's face turned ugly.

She looked around and noticed that most people were writing quickly and confidently.

'This is bad,' she thought.

'System! System! Help me cheat!!'

The system window popped up and the answer sheet appeared.

She looked at the questions, and to her surprise, the system gave her the correct answers.

She was speechless.

Lin Siyu couldn't help but laugh at herself.

'I guess I didn't need to worry after all.'

With that, she focused on completing the examination.
