Qin Mei was speechless. For some reason, she had a hunch that Yun Lintian would eventually meet people from the Dark Sea Palace in the near future. Perhaps she should inform her young miss in advance?
She glanced at the gold letter in Yun Lintian's hand and asked. "What about this?"
Yun Lintian put it away and replied. "It depends on the good news from your young miss. If there's no mistake, I will leave in a few days."
"Zhou Xianyang probably took a fancy to your talent. He even dispatched his beloved maidservant to come here personally." Qin Mei pursed her lips.
"It doesn't matter. He is nobody to me. Why should I help him?" Yun Lintian shrugged and returned to his room.

Two days passed by in a flash. During this period, the Great Zhou Capital City was bustling with people flocking over from all directions. Naturally, their goal was the upcoming banquet.
At this moment, a luxury carriage gradually moved along the bustling street on the city's eastern side. The word "Qin" was displayed vividly on the side of the carriage. Obviously, it was the Qin Clan from Chu Country.
Inside the carriage, Qin Weizhe looked at the lively scenery with a hint of excitement. The day he had been looking forward to for so long finally arrived.
On the side, Chen Xue was not much different. She couldn't wait to participate in the banquet directly.
Huan Yuchun was also tagging along. Among them, his existence was the lowest. No one seemed to care about him much.
On the contrary, Qin Weizhe and Chen Lan were relatively calm. Their confidence came from a superb preparation they had been doing for years. Even though they couldn't get into the top ranking list, their strength should be enough to enter a second list of the academy.
"It seems everyone has arrived ahead of us." Chen Lan said gently. "I heard that Jian Ziqi of the Battle Sword Sect is coming this time."
As she spoke, she glanced at Qin Jun with a meaningful smile.
Qin Jun's eyes flickered slightly as if he was thinking of something. He glanced back at her and asked. "What do you want?"
Chen Lan covered her mouth and laughed amusingly. "Hehe. Why? Are you nervous about seeing your unforgettable lover?"
Qin Jun ignored her and looked at the scenery outside.
The atmosphere in the carriage became awkwardly silent instantly.
Qin Weizhe and Chen Xue were aware of the woman named Jian Ziqi. She came from a small Jian family in the Chu Country. However, she possessed a special physique called Sword Heart Physique. This allowed her strength to improve several times faster compared to her peers.
Moreover, Jian Ziqi possessed a breathtaking appearance. She was considered the number one beauty of the Chu Country. Every man there had her as their dream lover, and Qin Jun was no exception.
However, Jian Ziqi was spotted by the Supreme Elder of the Battle Sword Sect later. Since then, she transformed into an existence that Qin Jun and others couldn't afford to even dream of. This left a scar on Qin Jun's heart.
When the Qin Clan proposed to engage Qin Jun with Chen Lan, Qin Jun calmly accepted it, knowing it was impossible for him to get Jian Ziqi in this life. Even if he could enter the Heavehold Divine Academy, the gap between their talents was still huge.
While Chen Lan was aware of this point, she wasn't jealous of Jian Ziqi or anything. Anyway, she didn't have a feeling for Qin Jun. The engagement between the two was nothing but an agreement for benefits to her.
"Look. Aren't they Blood Mountain Sect's people?" Huan Yuchun suddenly exclaimed as he saw a group of people clad in scarlet-red attires.
Chen Lan and the others glanced over with a hint of surprise.
When Chen Lan saw a handsome young man who stood at the forefront, her expression turned solemn instantly. "That's Wang Jiacai."
"Wang Jiacai? The one and only disciple of the Blood Mountain Sect Master?" Chen Xue exclaimed in surprise. She had heard about this heavenly genius before. It was said he had achieved divinity at thirty, which was highly impressive.
"It's him." Chen Lan nodded gently. "I didn't expect him to reach the peak of the Divine Origin Realm now."
Qin Weizhe, Chen Xue, and Huang Yuchun were shocked. No matter how they looked at this Wang Jiacai, he shouldn't be more than a hundred years old. What kind of talent was that?
"You don't have to be surprised. The resources of the Blood Mountain Sect are incomparably abundant compared to a low-level sect like the Profound Pill Sect. And with his innate talent, it's normal for him to reach this realm at a young age." Qin Jun said with a gloomy expression.
Deep down in his heart, he was jealous of Wang Jiacai for having all the resources around him. Qin Jun believed that if he got that amount of resources, he would definitely be better than Wang Jiacai.
However, the reality wasn't something he could control. Wang Jiacai was lucky enough to meet the Blood Mountain Sect Master during his journey. Even if Qin Jun's talent was better, he still lost to Wang Jiacai in terms of luck in the end.
At this moment, the young man, Wang Jiacai, seemed to notice something and looked toward the carriage. However, his gaze briefly paused on Qin Jun and Chen Lan before turning elsewhere. It was as if both of them were nothing but pebbles in his eyes.
Qin Jun clenched his fists angrily but was helpless to do anything. The gap between them was too huge. It would be no different from courting death if Qin Jun wanted to do something here.
He took a deep breath and turned to the coachman. "Can you move faster?"
The coachman had no choice but to urge the horse to move faster.
While the carriage was heading toward its destination, another luxury carriage was coming ahead, seemingly heading toward the Ximen Clan.
Inside the luxury carriage, Shen Yan sat opposite a gentle-looking woman wearing a green robe.
"There are so many talented youngsters this year." The gentle woman said softly as she looked at the lively scene.
Shen Yan pursed her lips and said. "These people couldn't even be compared to those outer division disciples of your Heavenhold Sect."
The gentle woman smiled elegantly. "They are the future of the Heavenhold Realm anyway."
