The guys around looked at the Gai Luo's Sand Eater and were a bit surprised. Because the huge beast gave out a deathly aura as if it had drunk the blood of hundreds of humans.
They felt instinctive fear from the beats. Even the Lazy Old man looked at the beast and a light appeared in his eyes that quickly dimmed down.
"Good." The old man commented and gave Gai Luo a small steel badge with the insignia of the Zuisian Kingdom.
There was a wolf carved on the badge and it felt cold to hold. Gai Luo accepted the insignia with a smile and left the building, he gave a glance to Ye Xin and nodded.
Ye Xin smiled back and moved to the front of the desk. He also took out his paper and gave it to the old man.
"So you have a wild beast?" The old man asked lazily.
"Yes." Ye Xin nodded.
"Show Me." The old man said in an uninterested manner.
Ye Xin took in a deep breath and calmed down, he was a bit scared of revealing Hong Hai in front of people from the capital, especially people like this old man who is extremely strong.
However he has no other way, he has to show his squid to get into the sect examination.
Calming himself down he summoned Hong Hai in front of the old man.
The old man looked at the beast and after some time nodded at Ye Xin, he then placed the Zusian Kingdom badge on the table.
Ye Xin held the badge and quickly de-summoned Hong Hai and then with a smile he started to move out of the building.
"Look at this fool smiling even when he only has a wild beast, it would be a miracle if he survived a mock exam. Let alone getting to the real examination." Someone snorted from the line.
Ye Xin heard the words and with a frown, he turned his head to look at the source and when he saw the person that said it, a smile formed on his face.
After all, this was the person that he had scammed previously.
He was none other than Xue Yong, he looked at Ye Xin with hatred in his eyes. Besides Xue Yong also stood his sister and the two other people who were previously there in the wilderness.
They all stared daggers at Ye Xin. 'Looks like they figured out that I am not from Lin family.' Ye Xin thought and a chuckle escaped his mouth.
He ignored their words and continued to exit the building.
"Stupid guy, we are a lot stronger than before, just wait, we will crush you in this exam!" Xue Yong yelled from behind, however, Ye Xin ignored his words and exited the building with a bright smile on his face.
Outside the building, Gai Luo was waiting for him. "Ye Xin, let's go and find a place to stay for tonight, the test will begin tomorrow." Gai Luo said.
Ye Xin looked at him and sighed. "I don't think we will be able to find a place to stay here." He said.
A frown appeared on Gai Luo's face. "Why?" He asked.
"I was looking at all the inns when we were coming here and they were all full, I don't think there are any places left, but we can still try." Ye Xin said and looked around the place.
The place was jam-packed with youngsters so it would be a miracle if they managed to find an Inn.
And their suspicion soon came true after an hour of searching.
"There is not a single place left." Gai Luo sighed with a grumpy expression on his face, he was annoyed by the fact that they couldn't get a room even when they have money.
Ye Xin looked at his annoyed expression and smiled. He took in a deep breath and looked around. "Let's go eat something first, we will think about settling later." He said.
And just as he said so Gai Luo's stomach grumbled, it was clear that he was hungry. A blush formed on his face and he nodded. "It would be better if we ate first and thought later."
Ye Xin smiled and then they quickly found a fast food stall, ordering some noodles with eggs they began eating.
Ye Xin was only finished with the half bowl when Gai Luo was already on the third one. It was clear that Gai Luo was a glutton.
If not for their harsh training this past month, then Gai Luo would still have been fat and there was even a possibility that he would have been even fatter.
After finishing the food, Gai Luo burped and a giant smile formed on his face. "The food is pretty good in the capital." He said with a satisfied expression on his face.
"Ture." Ye Xin nodded and looked at the three empty bowls in front of him, although he didn't eat like Gai Luo who finished thirteen bowls, he still ate a lot.
He loved food just like Gai Luo, it's just the fact that he didn't have a big enough stomach like him.
After eating they were resting near the fast food place when suddenly a huge guy appeared in front of them. There were bulging muscles on his body and he emitted an intimidating aura.
Both Gai Luo and Ye Xin looked at the guy and frowns appeared on their faces, they identified him. He was none other than Wan Peng.
The muscular guy that they saw in the beast-taming ceremony. He was from the Wan family, the other family besides the Lin Family that ruled the capital.
He was the guy that went back to get his beast but never returned, everyone was curious about his beast, but none came to know about it.
He stood in front of them and looked at them with an intimidating aura.
"What do you need?" Ye Xin asked as he stood up from the table and looked at Wan Peng in the eyes.
Even Gai Luo stood up and looked at the muscular man with a frown on his face. Although Gai Luo himself had become a lot more muscular in the past month, his body was not near Wan Peng.
Wan Peng looked like a bull that was made up of only muscles. Gai Luo felt tiny in front of him.
Wan Peng ignored Ye Xin and looked at Gai Luo, "I saw your sand eater just now, how about you ally with me, I will make sure that you enter the Heihui Sect. You will just have to help me inside the sect examination." Wan Peng spoke in a deep voice.
The other people surrounding the stall also looked at the three and some identified Wan Peng, when they saw that he was offering an alliance to Gai Luo they became jealous and amazed at the same time.
Who was Wan Pen?! He was the direct descended from the Wan Family, the only other family that controlled the capital, he held power equal to the royal princes and princesses.
For him to ask a commoner for the alliance was equal to a king asking a beggar for moral support.
"Alliance? What kind of alliance?" Gai Luo asked with a frown on his face, he had heard about the Heihui Sect, it was the number one sect on the continent and getting in was not easy.
Someone who passed out from the Heihui Sect was not someone to be trifled with, everyone had to treat them with respect even the kings of the kingdoms had to show their faces.
That's how power the Heihui Sect was, and now Wan Peng was promising him that he would make sure that Gai Luo got into such a big sect. Naturally, Gai Luo was suspicious.
Wan Peng took in a deep breath and looked around, seeing this many people he snorted. "Let's go somewhere private." He said.
Gai Luo turned silent at his words and then looked at Ye Xin.
Ye Xin on the other hand thought for some moment and nodded.
Gai Luo understood his sign and nodded at Wan Peng. "Let's go." He said.
"Follow me." Wan Peng said and turned around, he then started walking in a specific direction.
Both Ye Xin and Gai Luo followed him.
After they were gone a huge clamour erupted in the crowd.
"Wasn't that Wan Peng?! I heard that he has tamed a spirit beast, so why would he need help from a commoner?" Someone in the crowd asked.
"Yes, this is so unbelievable." Another guy said.
As more and more people started questioning the motive behind Wan Peng's words, someone in the crowd snorted.
"You foolish people, haven't you heard that this time the sect examination would be merit-based, so one can form a team of up to five people?" A disdainful voice resounded in the area and a man wearing a hood appeared.
Everyone looked at this strange new man and then squinted their eyes. For some reason they couldn't see his face under the hood.
"Who are you?" Someone from the crowd asked.
"Hmph! It doesn't matter." The hooded man said and then jumped up, in just a single leap he was over a building and it didn't take him much time to disappear from people's site.
