10. College Allocation Test (Part 2)
The so-called college allocation test was simply a matter of distributing uniforms and assigning dormitories.
After all, the students admitted here had all been recommended by Daoist sects. Elder Chongfang was just going through the motions and wouldn’t deliberately make things difficult.
Except… for those from Ruohuai Daoist Mountain.
“Third Uncle! You have to avenge me!”
Lei Che had rushed to the test site before Gong Yiling and the others, seeking out Elder Chongfang.
Elder Chongfang frowned.
He handed over the duties to his disciple and led Lei Che to a secluded corner. “What is it?”
“This!” Lei Che tore off his veil.
His supposedly handsome and charming face was now crooked.
Yes, his entire face was skewed to the left, his nose twisted at an absurd angle, making him look comical.
“Who did this?”
“A girl.”
“A girl?” Elder Chong-fang immediately understood. “You were hitting on a girl and got beaten up?”
“No… well, yes… no!” Lei Che said fiercely, “That bitch is from Ruohuai Daoist Mountain! She deliberately used this as an excuse to humiliate us and dampen our spirits.”
“What did you say?” Elder Chong-fang’s expression changed subtly.
Ruohuai Daoist Mountain, what a joke!
“That duel was proposed by their idiot Sect Master. He lost because he was weak. What does that have to do with our Ye Ao Daoist Mountain?”
“Exactly! And she was so arrogant.” Lei Che continued to add fuel to the fire. “I think she doesn’t respect us at all!”
Elder Chongfang sneered. “Hmph! A sore loser, how pathetic!”
“Yes, yes.” Just as Lei Che was about to say more, he spotted Gong Yiling and the others in the crowd and said excitedly, “Third Uncle, it’s them!”
Elder Chongfang’s gaze fell upon them, and he nodded. “I understand, Third Uncle. I’ll make sure they know our Ye Ao Daoist Mountain is not to be trifled with!”

The people here were all new students waiting for their college allocation.
The process seemed quick. You just told them what you were good at, gave a brief demonstration, and received your uniform and room key.
As Gong Yiling and her group waited in line, a man in a white robe approached them. “Young ladies, Elder Chongfang has an urgent matter to attend to. There’s a female elder in the Rou An Hall handling the allocation. You should go there first.”
“Ah… alright.”
Gong Yiling didn’t think much of it, but before she could move, Ling Jianhan, who had brought them here, asked, puzzled, “Since when is there a female elder’s allocation area?”
The white-robed man, surprised by this unexpected question, paused for a moment before explaining, “Elder Chongfang has to leave early today, so he arranged for someone else.”
“But that doesn’t explain the separate allocation area.” Ling Jianhan frowned. “If Elder Chongfang leaves, his disciples can take over. Are you sure you’re not mistaken, brother?”
At this point, Gong Yiling finally sensed something was wrong.
This white-robed man was deliberately trying to lead them astray, to make them wait until the allocation test was over before letting them return.
This was such a childish form of revenge.
“We’ll just wait here,” Gong Yiling said with a smile. “Elder Chongfang’s disciples can handle it, right? It shouldn’t be a problem.”
“This…”
The white-robed man glared at Ling Jianhan and slunk back into the crowd.
“Thank you.” Gong Yiling, her suspicions confirmed, thanked Ling Jianhan sincerely.
The young man, still clueless about what had just happened, was flattered by the beautiful woman’s gratitude and scratched his head awkwardly. “Ahahaha… it’s… it’s nothing, haha…”
After that, nothing strange happened until it was their turn to face Elder Chongfang’s disciple.
Gong Yiling had almost forgotten about the incident.
“Name.”
“Lü Youyuan.” (Yan Chuyue: Every time I hear this name, I feel something strange…)
“Where are you from?”
“Ruohuai Daoist Mountain.”
“Ruohuai Daoist Mountain?” The disciple looked up, surprised. “The one whose Sect Master lost to a Second Elder and gave away his own cultivation caves?”
Hearing this, the surrounding crowd couldn’t help but laugh.
Although these girls were a beautiful sight, in this place, looks couldn’t get you anywhere.
“You’re actually from Ruohuai Daoist Mountain?” Ling Jianhan was also surprised, but his train of thought was completely different.
A beauty was a beauty, regardless of where she came from.
“Indeed, this young lady is from the same Ruohuai Daoist Mountain whose cultivator punched a man two realms higher than her in the face, and he still hasn’t recovered.”
“As for who that unlucky guy is, do you want to know?”
“What?” The story sounded amusing, and the disciple couldn’t help but ask, “Someone actually did such a ridiculous thing?”
“Yes, that person is Lei Che, the nephew of Ye Ao Daoist Mountain’s Sect Master. And it seems he’s also related to your master.”
Spit!
Lei Che, watching from the sidelines, almost choked. And Elder Chongfang’s face also turned grim. This girl was actually revealing this in public. Was she prepared for this?
“Victory and defeat are common in battle. Does one loss make Lei Che a loser? If so, then our Sect Master is indeed quite pathetic.”
Here it comes!
The ultimate one-for-one trade.
It wasn’t her who was being traded, but that foolish Sect Master. So what if he was?
“Hmph…” The disciple, knowing he couldn’t win this argument, moved on to the next phase of his plan.
“Which college do you want to join?”
“Whatever.”
“You… what did you say?”
“I said, whatever.” Gong Yiling shrugged. “I’m decent at spiritual arts, martial skills, talismans, and forging. And I can also help others improve their cultivation techniques.”
“Send me wherever you want. It’s up to you.”
This… this girl wasn’t following the script! How was he supposed to set a trap for her now!?
This was impossible!
