All Novel Full “Achoo–!”
Luo Qianqian sneezed, ‘hmm, who is talking about me behind my back?’
They were on the way to the tavern, normally it was a quite stretch from Prime Minister Luo’s mansion the the tavern, but this day all the way to the tavern was overcrowded.
People swarmed to the tavern in twos and threes while chitter-chattering, “I wonder who will make the cut today, how many disciples do you reckon Master Lingtian will take?”
“Who knows? That’s not the question should concern us, we are just here to watch.”
“Have you heard that Princess Eleventh will be here too? I wish I could see the princess, I heard she is such a pretty girl.”
“Yesterday Master Lingtian’s page failed a lot of applicants already, he says an unwritten rule is you must be pretty.”
“Well, Princess Eleventh is a very pretty girl from what I’ve heard.”
“Hehe, sister-in-law, have you heard that? Everyone knows I’m pretty!” Murong Xue sat in the carriage, lifting the curtain to hear what people say from time to time. She was hyper excited about the test today.
Soon they arrived at the tavern, all the other applicants had arrived as well.
They waited in the carriage for a bit, Murong Xue lost her patience, “Aiya, sister-in-law, I’m getting bored.”
Yeah, she had never waited for anyone or anything in her life.
But today she was just saying she was getting bored, because she was hell-bent on making the cut to impress His Majesty.
Meanwhile in Prince Eighth’s Mansion.
Groups of men in black emerged on the roof, they soon scattered to different directions, surrounding their target’s room, it looked like they knew the layout of Prince Eighth’s Mansion very well.
Killing intent filled the mansion, the target in the room heard the rustling sound on the roof with indifference, he tapped on his table as a signal, “Now.”
Suddenly groups of men in white showed up in the yard, they were all superior martial arts cultivator that Master Lingtian picked in person, facing a large number of enemy, no trace of fear or hesitancy could be seen on their faces, they drew their swords and were ready to go.
The bamboo forest in the yard was rustling in the breeze, creating some background music for the battle.
The two sides were engaged in a hot battle, however, men in white gained the upper hand the whole battle.
Soon Su Liancheng reported to the target, “Brother Eighth, there are all together one hundred and twenty of them, they are all dead now.”
Su Liancheng now just felt great that he could be part of this battle with ease and verve, it had been so long since the last time he could throw himself fully and delightfully to a battle.
“They are so dumb that they didn’t use Lightness Skill to run away.” Su Liancheng took off his gown that was soaked with blood stains.
“They are Men of Sacrifice” was the reply.
“What? One hundred and twenty Men of Sacrifice!” Su Liancheng was taken aback, “That useless Crown Prince definitely has poured some significant investment! Tut tut tut, not money well spent.”
Honestly Su Liancheng was baffled why Mu Chaoyang just always waged some useless attempts, he was merely throwing good money after bad by attacking Master Lingtian.
Men of Sacrifice! One hundred and twenty Men of Sacrifice! All gone!
They were trained to be killing machines, they only took orders from their owner and no one else’s, if they couldn’t accomplish the mission, they would commit suicide.
That was why they didn’t use Lightness Skill to escape.
Su Liancheng admired his Brother Eighth even more, he could just conclude these men’s identity by observing their martial arts moves, how knowledgeable his Brother Eighth was!
“Send them back to their owner.” Master Lingtian lifted his hand.
He didn’t see Mu Chaoyang as a force to be reckon with anyways, so Master Lingtian was not in a rush to settle scores with him yet.
Su Liancheng found this would definitely annoy that useless Crown Prince, so he hastily carried out the order. He couldn’t wait to see Mu Chaoyang’s reaction when he saw his Men of Sacrifice’s dead bodies in his own yard.
“Brother Eighth, where are you going? Are you going to look for my sister-in-law again?” seeing Master Lingtian’s retiring figure, Su Liancheng asked curiously.
People always said distance created beauty, well, Master Lingtian definitely wasn’t grasping the gist of this saying, he wished he could be with Luo Qianqian all the time.
Master Lingtian of course didn’t answer Su Liancheng, and Su Liancheng was used to that already. But he always enjoyed crowds, so he shouted out loud, “Brother Eighth, wait for me, I’ll get changed and join you. Don’t leave me alone, Mo has been buried himself in the books, he ani’t got time for me, please wait for me, Brother Eighth!”

“Look, that’s Master Lingtian’s page!”
Shu Jian now was standing on a chair in front of the tavern gate, he was holing a name list in hand, “People, I will read your names, please stay in two queues, boys and girls separately, and follow me to meet Master Lingtian.”
“Boys, Lu Xiao, Liao Zheng, Kou yi… …”
“Girls, Luo Qianqian, Murong Xue, Fan Lingshan, Luo Yuyan, Luo Keer… …”
“All right, that’s it. If I have read your name just now, stay in two queues now!”
The applicants soon formed into two lines and they looked at each other in an inquiring way, they were in awe how beautiful everyone was.
There were about one hundred of them in total, and he didn’t wait for the ones who were late.
“Opportunity favors only the prepared mind, obviously those who are late aren’t prepared well. It’s their fate.” Shu Jian said loudly.
He asked other pages to check everyone’s identity twice and he led them to the tavern.
The crowd who had been waiting outside protested, they thought they would watch the process, who knew it was a non-public selection!
