There was no need to consider such a good offer, the old man was one hundred percent willing. This little girl seemed easy going, she shouldn’t be a difficult person to get along with.

This way, he didn’t have to use one year of conscripted labor in exchange for the entrance fee this time. Also, he didn’t have to pay for his own expenses for one year. Such a good thing was hard to come by. If he had refused, he wasn’t a normal person.

“Seeing as you seem to agree, that’s good.” Sima You Yue said.

“Thank you, really, thank you so much.” The old man was very excited. He knew that Sima You Yue was only doing this to help herself, being a guide for her was only a term she used loosely.

Sima You Yue smiled, she had actually really been just looking for someone to explain the situation to her, the entrance fee was incidental.

“Since the queue is still long, why don’t you tell me about the situation here?”

“Alright.”

From the old man’s account, Sima You Yue knew what sort of a place she had arrived at.

Wu Xiang City, Hua Wu Xiang’s second headquarters. Other than spending his time in the Imperial Capital, he spent most of his time here. If she was lucky, she would see him here.

However, when the old man heard her asking about Hua Wu Xiang, he broke her fantasy: “Commander Hua has definitely not been in the city recently.”

“Why?”

“Recently, it’s been the Azure Dragon Soul Region Talent Trials. Commander Hua always attends the trials in person when it’s being held. If anyone is selected by him, they will be able to attain the highest level in the Soul Region!”

“Talent Trials? Where is it held?”

“I think it’s a city near the Imperial Capital. How would we loose cultivators know about such matters?” The old man laughed.

“Does it not get announced?” Sima You Yue asked.

“There is no need for it to be announced. Those who are truly powerful are the people in the forces. They’ve known about it for a long time, why would it need to be announced?”

“What if there are other talents?”

“This situation is quite rare. You also know what happens to the souls after they come here. Those with talent are picked away, and even if the rest survived, it wouldn’t be their turn on such occasions. Also, since it is a talent trial, you can’t just enter it. You usually have to be recommended to take part in the talent trial.”

Well, in such a situation, they really didn’t need to announce it to the world. Even if there were one or two talented souls who had slipped through the net, it didn’t matter. Besides, it was impossible to recruit all the talented souls in the world anyway.

“Is she the only one who recruits? I seem to recall that there are two Commanders here.”

“Are you referring to Mu Luo Feng? He has already recruited talents.” The old man replied, “However, I did hear that Commander Hua has invited Commander Mu to watch the talent trials.”

“So that means they are there together now!”

“They should be. But we don’t know the whereabouts of the Commanders. Who knows whether he is there or not.”

“Whether he is there or not, I want to go and watch.” Sima You Yue smiled. There was no news before, but now the news was coming.

They chatted and walked slowly into the city. Finally it was their turn just before it was dark.
