Chapter 71 - Facing the Morning Sun (1/2) (1/2)

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh. Meng Chuan, Meng Dajiang, Liu Yebai, and Yan Jin jumped off the bird.

“Arrange accommodation for them,” calmly instructed the long-browed elder as he remained sitting on the bird.

“Yes,” the members of the Wu State Guild Hall replied respectfully.

“Liu Yebai.” The long-browed elder looked at Liu Yebai and said indifferently, “After your daughter goes up the mountain, she cannot leave the mountain except for special reasons before she becomes a Godfiend. You can communicate through letters. If there’s anything urgent, you can come to the mountain to look for your daughter.”

“Understood.” Liu Yebai smiled as he looked at his daughter, Liu Qiyue—who was on the bird’s back. He instructed, “Qiyue, cultivate well in Archean Mountain. If anything happens, write to me. I will be staying in Wu State Guild Hall for the next few months.”

“Yes, I’ll write to you.” Liu Qiyue was also very reluctant to part with her father. She turned to look at Meng Chuan. “Ah Chuan, I’ll write to you too.”

Meng Chuan smiled and nodded.

“This girl.” Liu Yebai smiled and shook his head.

“Let’s go.” The long-browed elder gently patted the enormous black bird. It flew into the air, bringing the long-browed elder and Liu Qiyue towards the legendary Archean Mountain.

“Archean Mountain.” Meng Chuan and the others looked into the distance. Inside Archean City, they could see the massive mountain range that towered into the clouds. It was where the Godfiends of Archean City cultivated.

“Sirs,” one of the stewards of Wu State Guild Hall said with a smile. “Now that the guild hall is relatively empty, do you plan on getting a room each or stay together?”

Meng Dajiang said, “My son—Meng Chuan—and I will live together, while Young Master Yan Jin and Brother Liu will have individual rooms.”

“Three rooms? Sure, the guild hall is huge. Feel free to choose,” said the steward with a smile. “Towards the end of the year, many geniuses from Wu State will come to participate in the entrance examination. There will be plenty of people then.”

Not just anyone could stay at Wu State Guild Hall.

Only geniuses participating in the Archean Mountain entrance examination and high officials sent by Wu State were qualified to stay here. Unauthorized people were not allowed to enter.

Meng Chuan and company simply chose three small courtyards near the guild hall.

…

In a small courtyard, Meng Dajiang placed everything he brought along with him into their room. “From today onwards, we’ll stay here.” He smiled as he looked at the room. “It’s pretty good here, clean too.”

“Dad, I’ll choose the room next door,” Meng Chuan said.

“Hurry up and get some sleep. There’s still quite some time before daybreak.” Meng Dajiang laughed as well. Although he maintained his fat appearance, his face was pale. After all, he had expended a lot of his sanguine aura. He was currently relying on a secret technique to maintain his body size, so he needed to eat and rest more.

Meng Chuan nodded and went to his room. The room was decorated simply. There was a bed and a study table by the window. Beside it was a bookshelf with some books.

As Meng Chuan lay on the bed and stared at the moon through the window, he felt a potpourri of emotions. He had experienced too much today, and the impact on his psyche was deep.

…

At dawn, Meng Dajiang warmly called for Yan Jin and Liu Yebai—who were both situated next to them. “Come come, let’s eat breakfast together.”

“It’s quite a sumptuous spread,” Liu Yebai praised as he looked at the breakfast table in the courtyard.

“I got the people from the guild hall to send breakfast here. Let’s eat together,” said Meng Dajiang. “This quantity is enough to fill our stomachs.”

Yan Jin nodded as well. He sat beside Meng Chuan and started eating. Meng Chuan ate some porridge and buns.

“There are meat buns, white steamed buns, and huge pancakes,” cried out Meng Dajiang enthusiastically. He drank the porridge and ate the pancakes rather slowly as though he wasn’t in a rush.

“What do the two of you plan on doing today?” Liu Yebai was in a good mood. He smiled and asked, “Do you want to head out and take in the sights of Archean City?”

Meng Chuan said, “I looked at the Archean City map on my bookshelf after I woke up. It’s too big. There are many places that offer shopping and entertainment. I doubt one can explore the entire city in months. I’d rather cultivate at the guild hall.”

“I’ll also cultivate at the guild hall,” Yan Jin said.

“Alright, alright, you guys cultivate. The two of us will go out for a walk,” Liu Yebai said with a smile.

Soon, both Meng Chuan and Yan Jin were full. At that moment, Meng Dajiang began to eat faster. He gobbled down the buns and slurped down the pot of porridge that had been warmed up.
