Chapter 359 Canaan Enrollment

As the sun slowly rose, Jing Chen emerged from the cave, stretched, and yawned. The sun continued to rise in the distance, and Jing Chen, enjoying a rare moment of leisure, watched the sunrise.

Three days have passed since Jing Chen resolved the Xiao family's matter. During these three days, Jing Chen has stayed in this forest, either taking Xiao Ling Yuan out to play, refining pills, or cooking when he gets bored. In short, Jing Chen has essentially done nothing in this forest.

Ling Yuan, hidden in Jing Chen's hair, peeked out, her eyes still sleepy as she looked around. Xuan Yuan Yi and Cai Die also woke up, stretching as they came out.

Xuanyuan Yi and Caidie have also woken up, so... it's about time to set off.

"Let's go. Today is a good day. Our journey in this world... should begin," Jing Chen said.

Not long after, Jing Chen arrived in Wutan City with Xuan Yuan Yi and Cai Die. It was just dawn, and there were very few people in Wutan City. Jing Chen found a teahouse that was already open, ordered a pot of tea and some snacks, and the three of them sat in the teahouse drinking tea and waiting quietly.

As time went on, the population of Wutan City grew, and the streets became increasingly crowded. Jing Chen sipped his tea while listening to the group's discussion.

The people gathered here are mostly preparing to participate in the upcoming selection process for Canaan College's admissions.

Listening to the group discuss Canaan Academy, Jing Chen couldn't help but chuckle. Sure enough, those who came to participate in the Canaan Academy selection had all done their homework.

That makes sense. In the Dou Qi Continent, joining a sect or academy is the best way to obtain cultivation techniques and combat skills. The most attractive things in the Dou Qi Continent are threefold: cultivation techniques, combat skills, and elixirs. Canaan Academy has two of these, and that alone is enough to attract a large number of young people.

Under such conditions, the threshold for Canaan Academy is quite high, and very few people can enter. It can be said that those who enter Canaan Academy are basically geniuses. As for the rest, Jing Chen doesn't care at all. He has a mobile library for cultivation techniques and combat skills, and as for pills, Jing Chen can now refine some low-level pills himself. As for high-level pills... well, there's Yao Lao for that.

The only thing that attracted Jing Chen to Canaan Academy, besides the Fallen Heart Flame, was nothing else. Once he obtained the Fallen Heart Flame, Jing Chen would likely leave Canaan Academy and begin the next chapter of his journey.

The Canaan Academy examiners finally arrived. Jing Chen had lost count of how many pots of tea he drank and how many times he went to the restroom. If these instructors hadn't arrived, Jing Chen probably would have been cursing.

Since his mentor was already there, he should go too. He told Xuan Yuan Yi and Cai Die to wait there, and headed towards the massive plaza in Wutan City. However, as soon as he reached the vicinity of the plaza, Jing Chen felt a bit of a headache. There were just too many people! A sea of ​​people; squeezing in wouldn't be easy, would it? He had planned to settle things with Canaan Academy today, but judging from the situation… it seemed a bit unlikely.

"Hmph, out of options now, huh?" Suddenly, a voice reached Jing Chen's ears. Jing Chen frowned slightly; that voice... it sounded familiar. Turning his head slightly, Jing Chen saw familiar faces: Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, and Xiao Xun'er.

"Does Cousin Xiao Yu have a solution?" Another familiar voice entered Jing Chen's ears. Jing Chen turned her gaze slightly and saw another familiar person, Xiao Yan.

Jing Chen was a little stunned. This was not something Xiao Yan would say. Why had Xiao Yan become so timid?

"The person in charge of recruitment in Wutan City this time is my mentor. As her favorite student, I have my own ways." Xiao Yu pouted her pretty nose and said with a smile, waving her hand: "Come with me."

Seeing this, Jing Chen couldn't help but chuckle, "Having connections really does allow you to do whatever you want."

The old doctor said, "That's natural."

Seemingly having heard Jing Chen's words, Xiao Yu glanced in his direction. Jing Chen quickly turned his head away; he didn't want to be seen by anyone, especially not by Xiao Yu and the others.

Seeing Jing Chen turn around in a panic, Xiao Yu narrowed her eyes and said to Xiao Xun'er and the others, "Wait here for me. I saw a friend and I'm going to catch up with him."

After saying that, Xiao Yu walked towards Jing Chen. Jing Chen slapped his forehead, realizing his carelessness. He wasn't far from Xiao Yu and the others; they could hear him even if he said something casually. There was no other way but to slip away.

Jing Chen turned around and squeezed into the crowd, thinking that as long as he blended in, Xiao Yu wouldn't be able to find him. He hadn't taken two steps when a delicate hand suddenly landed on his, and a voice with a half-smile reached his ears: "Oh? Isn't this Xiao Chen? So eager, where are you headed?"

Jing Chen froze, then changed his voice and said, "Miss, you've mistaken me for someone else."

"Oh? Really? This head of white hair... tsk tsk, although it's quite a bit longer than before, you don't think I don't recognize you, do you? Peeping at me when I was little..." Xiao Yu drew out the last syllable of her sentence, making her meaning quite clear.

Jing Chen's lips twitched, then she reverted to her natural voice, saying somewhat awkwardly, "You... still remember this?"

Xiao Yu slowly tightened her grip on Jing Chen's shoulder, causing Jing Chen's lips to twitch again. Xiao Yu suppressed her anger and said, "I searched for you at the Xiao family for days, but I couldn't even find a trace of you. You're quite good at hiding."

Jing Chen didn't dare to speak at all. He could clearly sense that Xiao Yu's anger seemed... a bit intense.

"Um... I didn't mean to. I already explained, didn't I? I failed in my training and accidentally fell in," Jing Chen quickly explained.

"Did you fall in by accident? You were practicing your martial arts in my shower area?" Xiao Yu's grip tightened slightly.

"This...this is hard to explain...I didn't mean to..." Jing Chen felt the murderous aura behind him growing stronger and stronger, and it seemed to be getting out of control.

"Alright, let's not talk about that for now. Are you here to register too?" Xiao Yu asked.

Jing Chen turned around at this moment and said, "Yeah, judging from the situation, it seems a bit unlikely that we can finish this sooner."

Xiao Yu asked, "Would you like to come with my sister?"

Jing Chen's lips twitched. "Forget it, forget it. I'll figure it out myself."

"You're being so polite now? Why weren't you this polite when you were peeping at me taking a shower? Let's go." Xiao Yu said somewhat displeased.

Jing Chen's lips twitched. "This..."

"What a fuss, a grown man. Let's go." Before Jing Chen could finish speaking, Xiao Yu pulled him towards Xiao Xun'er and the others.

Before Jing Chen could react, Xiao Yu pulled him away. Jing Chen had no choice but to quickly put on the pure white mask he had prepared beforehand. As for his eyes, he immediately activated the kaleidoscope, making the six-pointed star stand out.
