The starting point is auspicious; the fiancée will not call off the engagement.

Fang Zhou watched Lin Shuangshuang walk away, inwardly condemning Luo Chuan.

They left without saying goodbye, even though their relationship seemed more than just friendship.

Fang Zhou recalled the game that day and Lin Shuangshuang's trust in Luo Chuan, which made him despise Luo Chuan even more.

"Brother Fang, how is it?"

Su Yan led the deer over and looked at Fang Zhou with curiosity.

Fang Zhou was speechless. Are all the disciples of the Ten Thousand Saints Sect this gossipy?

Fang Zhou shook his head, not intending to discuss other people's gossip with Su Yan, as it would be impolite.

Su Yan realized this as well. "I'm sorry, Brother Fang, just pretend I didn't say that."

Little Deer stood to the side, not understanding their conversation, her eyes fixed on Little Moon.

"Brother Fang, the cat seems very sleepy today."

Xiaoyue had fallen asleep in Fangzhou's arms again sometime during the night.

"It didn't sleep well last night. We'll play with it after it wakes up."

Fang Zhou gently patted Xiao Yue's head.

"It's okay, let the kitten sleep well. It will grow bigger if it gets enough sleep."

Little Deer nodded understandingly, showing no intention of touching Little Moon. The older sister at the orphanage had said that eating and sleeping well was essential for growing taller and stronger, and she wanted to grow up quickly.

Fang Zhou was touched by the little deer's sensible appearance.

What a sensible child.

As Fang Zhou was thinking, Cheng Wenyuan's voice came from the direction of the kitchen.

"Dinner's ready! Don't just stand there, come and help serve the dishes!"

Several older children ran over and took the dishes from Cheng Wenyuan, carefully placing them on the long table.

Cheng Wenyuan carried a large pot himself, which contained soup that had been simmering all morning, and the aroma filled the entire courtyard.

Su Yan patted the little deer's head: "Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

The little deer nodded obediently and ran off to wash its hands.

Fang Zhou, holding the still-sleeping Xiao Yue, found a seat at the long table and sat down.

Cheng Wenyuan placed the soup pot on the table, shook the water droplets off his hands, and sat down opposite Fang Zhou.

"Brother Fang, are you ready for the sect's assessment in a couple of days?"

He asked as he served soup to Fang Zhou.

There's nothing to prepare.

Fang Zhou took the soup bowl, blew on it to cool it down. He had already been chosen by connections, that wicked favoritism.

Fang Zhou inwardly despised himself.

Cheng Wenyuan seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that Senior Sister Ye had made all the arrangements.

Su Yan also sat down, placed his bowl of soup in front of the deer, and continued:

"The assessment won't be too difficult. As long as you follow your heart, you can generally pass."

Fang Zhou raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

"I'm not sure about the specifics; the assessments are different every year."

Su Yan shook his head. "But the Ten Thousand Saints Sect will not reject fellow practitioners. As long as they are not wicked, they will generally not be defeated."

Just as Fang Zhou was about to speak, a clear voice came from the side.

"I want to take the assessment too."

The three turned to look, and Lin Shuangshuang was sitting at the long table at some point.

Fang Zhou was taken aback: "You?"

"What, is that not allowed?"

Lin Shuangshuang slightly raised her chin.

"I'm fifteen this year, and I've finished all the courses at the academy. I submitted my graduation application a few days ago. Once I receive my graduation certificate, I'll go and take the entrance exam for the Wansheng Sect."

Cheng Wenyuan put down his soup bowl and looked at her seriously: "Shuangshuang, have you thought this through? The Wansheng Sect's assessment is no joke. If you fail the assessment, the consequences will be severe."

"I've made up my mind," Lin Shuangshuang said firmly. "I'm determined to join the Ten Thousand Saints Sect, become a great cultivator, and then find Luo Chuan, beat him up, and make him leave without saying goodbye."

The courtyard was quiet for a moment.

Lin Shuangshuang then realized what she had said, and her face instantly turned bright red.

"I didn't do it for Luo Chuan."

Seeing the expressions of realization on everyone's faces, Lin Shuangshuang stiffly stood up, turned around, and ran away.

"I'm stuffed."

Everyone stared in silence at the untouched dishes.

"Brother Su, that sister hasn't eaten yet, how come she says she's full?"

The little deer looked at Su Yan curiously.

Su Yan's lips twitched slightly as he looked down at Xiao Lu's innocent face, unsure how to explain.

Fang Zhou smiled and said, "Because that older sister was lying. Little deer, don't follow her example. You need to eat properly to grow up."

The little deer nodded as if it understood, "Okay, I will definitely eat well."

Seeing the little deer's adorable appearance, everyone laughed and invited the other children around to sit down and eat together.

After everyone had finished eating, Cheng Wenyuan secretly went to deliver food to Lin Shuangshuang.

Fang Zhou and Su Yan cleaned up the mess and handed Xiao Yue over to Xiao Lu.

Xiaoyue woke up at this moment and saw a group of children surrounding her. She didn't breathe on it. She glanced at Fang Zhou to make sure he was still there, then took the children to play.

"Brother Su, what are the consequences of failing the assessment that Brother Cheng mentioned earlier?"

Fang Zhou used a spell to clean everything and looked at Su Yan curiously.

Su Yan had also tidied up the tables and chairs, and smiled slightly when he heard Fang Zhou's question.

"It was probably Junior Brother Wen Yuan teasing her, telling her to think it over carefully before making a decision, because the worst consequence of failing the assessment is having to wait another year."

Fang Zhou was speechless. He thought there were some special rules so he could help Lin Shuangshuang, but it turned out that Cheng Wenyuan was just making things up.

However, the way the Wansheng Sect recruits disciples is really strange. Whether you pass or not depends entirely on fate. Even the disciples in the sect don't know the test questions. It's really unique.

Fang Zhou and Su Yan walked to the pavilion and began to chat.

"Brother Fang, are you really Junior Sister Ye's fiancé?"

Fang Zhou had barely sat down when Su Yan bewildered him. "Are you even a sword cultivator? Why are you so gossipy?"

But Fang Zhou didn't deny it, he just nodded slightly.

"That's right, I am engaged to Ninghan. Are you and Ninghan very familiar, Brother Su?"

Su Yan waved his hands repeatedly.

"Brother Fang, please don't misunderstand. I'm just a little curious. After all, Junior Sister Ye is known for being aloof in the Myriad Saints Sect."

Is Ye Ninghan very famous?

Fang Zhou really didn't know anything about Ye Ninghan's situation in the Wansheng Sect. He only knew that she had a very powerful master, but he didn't know much else about her.

Upon hearing Fang Zhou's question, Su Yan began to pour out his grievances.

"Brother Fang, you don't know, ever since your fiancée came to the Ten Thousand Saints Sect and started cultivating, she has been dominating us in every sect competition. She's been number one every year. Later, she stopped pretending altogether. Once her two great physiques were activated, the elders would directly declare her the winner."

After hearing what Su Yan said, Fang Zhou felt a little guilty, after all, he had a share in both of the two physiques.

"That shouldn't be the case. There should be quite a few geniuses in the Myriad Saints Sect. Surely there should be some who can't defeat her."

Fang Zhou thought about it and felt something was wrong. As the true number one sect, Wansheng Sect wouldn't be without a way to counter the body, would it?

Fang Zhou had sparred with Ye Ninghan. Although the two physiques were powerful, they were not insurmountable. He had at least five techniques that could defeat Ye Ninghan when she had activated her physique.
