216 Not a Bad Deal (1/2)

[Naturally, the Elder didn't even bat an eyelid at the recruits' pleading gazes. What would the test be if he helped them? Thus he just continued to stand there and observed while the situation inside the array grew more and more chaotic.

Well, the admission test of the Jin Shan Sect might not be too hard but that didn't mean that all the recruits would pass it. In fact, it was seldom more than half of the children that made it.

The foremost reason for that was actually the third test that consisted of observing the behavior of the children while they attempted the tests. This might not be inherently difficult but all the children that came to take the test were about five to six years old, some even only four. They were old enough to understand that this test was something important and that their families had high hopes for them. But most weren't old enough to find a solution to a problem or control their emotions when they felt like they would fail the test and thus their family's expectations.

The other two tests also prevented some of them to be taken in but often this would coincide with the results from the third test. It almost never happened that a disciple didn't show even the minimal physical or spiritual strength the sect expected of them if their mentality was alright. If there was one or two of them every ten times the Jin Shan Sect held the admission tests, it would already be a lot.

Dou Fang Hai watched the other children for a while but finally decided that he didn't really care about them. He turned to Ziju An again and tugged at his sleeve. ”Pretty sister, the test is boring. How about we go back home?”

Ziju An nodded. If his disciple didn't want to watch anymore, then naturally, they wouldn't do so any longer. He stood up, waited for Dou Fang Hai to get up too and took his hand. Then they walked down the stand hand in hand and left the venue for Grandmaster Ziju's house.]

Su Yan leaned back and sighed. Ah, he could only repeat himself. Great! So great! Now he had already finished writing about the admission test and could start with the training of Dou Fang Hai. Considering that Ziju An would be the one in charge of this training there should be a lot of romantic things happening. Mn, it was best if he started imme—

Su Yan's eyes widened. Wait. Hadn't he forgotten something?

He lifted the notebook and considered putting it aside but when he remembered that he would also have to lift the blanket if he wanted to go and look if Nie Chang had already finished showering he reconsidered. Nah, he shouldn't get up. He would just call!

”Ah Chang!” Su Yan called out to his boyfriend pitifully. ”Ah Chang!”

In the kitchen, Nie Chang grinned. So his little darling had finally remembered him? ”What is it, darling?”

Su Yan blinked and pondered if this had sounded as if it came from the bathroom. Maybe Nie Chang had opened the door and taken a look out to see if he wanted something? Or maybe not?

Su Yan frowned a little. ”Have you finished already?”

”I'm making your breakfast. You could still go and shower before eating if you want.”

Su Yan tilted his head but finally shook it. No! He didn't want to have to hurry. Something like this shouldn't be rushed. You had to take your time for that!

When Nie Chang didn't get an answer he already knew what was up. His little darling was probably still sitting in bed and was afraid of crawling out there because he felt it would be too cold. Mn, when he had finished cooking should he go and get his little darling something from his wardrobe he could wear for now? That didn't sound like such a bad idea. Maybe …
