Although Master Yuelun’s voice was not loud, he had no intention of hiding what he said. Therefore, many Knights had actually heard his words.

Therefore, after Devitt led Yuelun in, the news of Master Yuelun being here to look for someone spread out very quickly.

“Looking for someone?” Edger was stunned for a moment. He suddenly recalled how, three months ago, Huang Lin had gone to the Sacred Mountain to look for the Holy Orison to get him to help treat Fang Xingjian.

Back then, none of them had felt that the Divine level expert would be willing to step forth for Fang Xingjian. But now, the Holy Orison’s chief disciple had come to Great Western City and was claiming that he was looking for someone.

Next to him, Rota let out a soft surprised cry and asked, “Could it be that he’s here to look for Fang Xingjian?”

Edger was the first one to rebut, “You must be kidding. What kind of character is Lord Holy Orison? He’s someone whose single word would be able to affect the situation of the whole Empire. How could he really step out to help treat Fang Xingjian?

“Moreover, even if he is looking for Fang Xingjian, he would not be coming to the Great Western City. No one knows where Fang Xingjian has fled to. Do you guys still think that he’ll actually come to participate in the Regional Selection?

“It’s merely a coincidence. Stop making wild guesses.”

Edger did not believe that Yuelun was here to look for Fang Xingjian. He led Rota, Hamil and Ralph toward the manor’s hall. As for Manny, since he could not be bothered with Edger, he left by himself.

Edger looked at the three talented students alongside him and once again reminded them, “Remember, later on, don’t forget the aristocratic etiquette I’ve taught you. Otherwise, you won’t be just be losing your own reputation, but the academy’s as well.

“You might not be able to encounter such a setting even once throughout your entire lives. You guys better make sure to be extra cautious.”

Under Edger’s lead, the three of them were extremely cautious, feeling as if they were country bumpkins entering the city as they headed toward the manor’s hall. On the way, they saw that the path was layered with white-colored jade, and that there were golden-rimmed lamp posts on both sides. On the top, there were lamps, up to a hundred of them lighting up the whole path, and making it look as if it were daylight.

Some sort of medicine had also been added into the lamps. They were releasing a light relaxing fragrance, making one’s vital energy and blood very warm and comfortable.

Such a highly luxurious setting made the three of them feel as if their arms and legs were tied together as they advanced. When had they ever come across such a setup before? The money spent on this pathway alone would probably be sufficient to buy their entire clan!

Even Edger who was in the lead became increasingly cautious, lowering his head, and not daring to look around randomly.

At that moment, another horse carriage stopped at the entrance. It was Kirst’s City Lord, who alighted in his tuxedo. Behind him was Lilia, wearing an evening gown. It revealed a large part of her snow-white skin around her chest and back, while the lace on the ends and on the little hat she was wearing made her seem slightly cheeky and pure at the same time.

Although her four limbs were not quite thin, when matched with Lilia’s sweet face, they made her seem cute and lively all the more.

It was just that she was wearing a reluctant expression.

Kirst’s City Lord told her in a soft voice, “Alright, Lilia, stop throwing a tantrum. Today is the day when geniuses from countless academies are gathering in the same place. Later on, go out and make more friends.”

“Not interested,” Lilia replied coldly. “I’m not interested in talking to them.”

Kirst’s City Lord helplessly shook his head. However, his eyes suddenly lit up as he pointed to a white-haired white-bearded pale-faced man who was walking toward the hall with a gloomy expression, “Look over there! That’s Wei Leng, the guy who attained Heaven’s Perception at first transition!”

Wei Leng… This name was a name which had gained great reputation in Great Western City for the past half a month. It was because he had attained Heaven’s Perception even before he had gone through his second transition.

His story was very simple and sad.
