"It's not good to make a name for yourself, look at that Murong Yunlan, famous right? As a result, he is missed every day."
Chen Shen said despondently, with an I-don't-want-to-be-famous look on his face.
Zhang Ji listened to this and contemplated for a while, feeling that what Chen Shen said was very reasonable, but a moment later he shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Big brother ... you're right, but with your qualifications, it's too hard to not be famous!"
Chen Shen was stunned at his words and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He just loved Zhang Ji's serious attitude, although it looked like he was slipping up, Chen Shen knew that what he said came from his heart.
This made him very happy.
...
After spending a peaceful night at the inn, Chen Shen and Zhang Ji walked towards Jizhou City's city center school grounds early the next morning.
It was usually a place for the army to train, but today it was used to recruit disciples for the Sky Cloud Sect.
By the time Chen Shen and Zhang Ji arrived at the schoolyard, thousands of people had already gathered there.
Among these thousands of people, there were two people who were particularly notable.
One was Murong Yunlan, who was currently standing quietly amongst the crowd, but no one around her dared to approach.
Compared to the previous few days when she was calm and serene, nowadays she had an ice-cold expression and an attitude that no one should approach her.
On top of that, there was a man who was also like this, standing there with a large area directly empty around him, as if the man would eat people.
"Who is that man? So bullish?"
Chen Shen casually asked, and someone around him immediately answered.
"He's the son of General Jizhou, he's used to killing since he was a child, so there's a murderous aura on his body, no one dares to come close."
"General Jizhou ... that origin is even more bullish than Murong Yunlan!"
Chen Shen sighed in his heart.
The Jizhou General was in charge of the Jizhou military, and his position was only one level lower than the Jizhou Governor.
As the second-in-command of a large state, it was certainly greater than the first-in-command of a city.
After chatting for a while with a few old brothers around, everyone gradually began to get acquainted.
Coupled with Chen Shen's ability to fool people, a few of the old brothers revealed a look of hate for each other.
Right at this moment, on the huge platform above the schoolyard, an old man with white hair walked out.
"Silence!"
With a low shout, the voices of the thousands of people on the schoolyard were silenced, and seeing this scene, the crowd all realized the identity of this old man, and one by one, they closed their mouths, not daring to squeak.
"Those who have my Heavenly Cloud Sect's token, please come up to the stage now."
After the crowd quieted down, the old man continued.
As his words fell, less than a hundred people out of the thousands of people on the schoolyard moved and walked towards the platform.
At this moment, all of these people's expressions were arrogant and proud.
Murong Yunlan and her maid were among them, and besides them, there was also the son of that Jizhou general.
"Big brother, I'll go first!" Zhang Ji took out the token and said to Chen Shen.
Chen Shen cast him an encouraging look and patted his shoulder, signaling him to go up to the stage without fear.
Looking at Zhang Ji's back, Chen Shen felt some sighs in his heart.
If it wasn't for his own appearance, it was possible that this kid was much more developed than he was now.
But on the contrary, this kid was still incredibly grateful to himself, treating himself as his own big brother.
"That's just it, in the future when I become the Sect Leader, I'll arrange for you to be the Vice Sect Leader for a while."
Chen Shen comforted himself.
...
After that old man on the platform retrieved the token, he once again looked at the schoolyard below.
"Those whose parents and elders have cultivation in place go up to the platform."
As soon as these words came out, nearly a hundred more people went up to the platform.
The cultivation qualification thing depended on heredity, generally those whose parents had cultivation, gave birth to children who had cultivation qualifications nine times out of ten.
For the sake of efficiency, the Sky Cloud Sect elders had no excuse for letting people on stage in such an order.
As expected, after these hundred people came on stage, that old man carefully checked, and in the end, less than fifty people left the stage in disgrace.
More than half of them had Immortal Cultivation qualifications, a ratio that would be absolutely unimaginable if placed amongst the crowd on stage.
After checking this group of people, the old man on the stage had begun to lose interest.
According to past experience, this was almost the end of the line, and it would be lucky to have a few dozen Immortal Cultivators amongst the remaining thousands of people.
Thinking of this, he was ready to let the remaining people line up on the stage in order, but before he could say anything, he suddenly changed his mind on the spur of the moment.
"Those who feel that they are likely to have superior talent, please come up to the stage."
Hearing his words, the thousands of people present were silent, and none of them dared to move.
If you go up to the stage and are denied by the elders, then you will be disgraced, I'm afraid that you will be famous in the entire Jizhou, how can you have the face to go out and meet people in the future?
Not only do they have no face to see people, I'm afraid that their parents will have to follow the disgrace ....
Chen Shen does not care, squeeze through the crowd want to go to the stage, but at this time just a few chatting very good old brother suddenly pulled him.
"Brother, if you're the only one on stage, in case you don't have Immortal Cultivation qualifications, then I'm afraid you'll become the laughing stock of Jizhou!"
"That's not true, brother, it's good to be confident, but at least there has to be a group of people on stage so that you won't be found out if you follow up and mix it up!"
Looking at the concerned looks on the faces of several old brothers, Chen Shen said with a solemn face, "Don't worry several old brothers, if I really don't have the qualifications to cultivate immortality and become the laughing stock of Jizhou, then let the world laugh, cultivating immortality together is to go against the heavens, and it's only normal to die on the way."
After saying this, Chen Shen resolutely shook off the hands of several people and walked towards the stage.
A few old brothers looked at Chen Shen's slightly depressed back, their expressions all complicated to the extreme.
"Though millions of people will go on, this brother is truly a model for my generation."
"Alas, even if he truly becomes the laughing stock of Jizhou, this friend, I recognize, brother, what do you think?"
"What do you mean by this? Do I look like the kind of villain who tends to avoid harm?"
...
Under the watchful eyes of several people, Chen Shen gradually walked to the front of the platform.
At this time, the entire schoolyard noticed him.
Feeling the countless gazes behind him, Chen Shen smiled blandly and stepped onto the platform.
"It's him? That brat, I didn't expect him to arrive in Jizhou safely."
Behind the old man, Murong Yunlan's little maid looked surprised when she saw Chen Shen.
Murong Yunlan looked at Chen Shen who was on the stage and seemed to have thought of something as his expression became very heavy.
"Xiao Huan, the fact that he didn't follow us proves that he was right, think about those who were slaughtered by the Devil Sect ...."
Speaking here, Murong Yunlan couldn't continue and directly choked up.
Xiao Huan, however, revealed a contemptuous smile and said, "Miss, don't blame yourself, you didn't force them to follow you, they died, that is their own strength is not good, no immortal destiny.
And this kid, he didn't follow you that's because he loves to do the maverick thing, which is what is right or wrong?
Everyone follows you, but he doesn't. Everyone doesn't go on stage, but he does.
I've seen a lot of people like this, thinking that to do so is to have character, can attract attention, in fact, how ridiculous."
...
"Big brother is big brother, this bottom, this temperament, when will I be able to match it!"
Compared to Murong Yunlan's side of the reaction, Zhang Ji was so energized that he couldn't wait to cheer on the spot.
In addition to the people on the stage talking, the people under the stage were even more vocal.
"Who is this person? So arrogant!"
"Even a heavenly talent like me doesn't dare to go on, what gives him the right?"
"Brother, since you're a heavenly talent, why don't you go up?"
"Just kidding, just kidding, don't take it seriously."
...
When the old man on the stage saw that someone really went up to the stage, a playful color appeared on his face, but this playful color disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by an unparalleled gravity.
"Kid, who are you?!"
His question was so loud and clear that the entire schoolyard was instantly quiet, everyone wanted to hear who this rampant person really was?
In the face of his inquiry, Chen Shen gave a slight salute before introducing himself in a calm voice.
"Stone Village, Shichuan County, Feiyun City, Ji Prefecture, Chen Shen."
