GBP Chapter 121 Registration
Chapter 121 Registration
After having a sumptuous meal, Su Nan left the restaurant filled with fragrance with brisk steps and hurried straight to the registration office of the fascinating Longyin Pavilion.
When she arrived at the registration office, she was met by a sea of people. Ambitious individuals from all corners of the world converged like a tide, their eyes burning with fervent desire, eager to successfully enter the Dragon Roar Pavilion, a door filled with mystery and opportunity. Su Nan, amidst this surging crowd, her petite frame seemingly fragile, yet she exuded unwavering determination from beginning to end, as if no difficulty or obstacle could stop her from moving forward.
After a long and agonizing wait, the long-awaited moment finally arrived. It was Su Nan's turn. The disciple in charge of registration had a cold expression on his face and asked in a flat voice, "Name, age, place of origin, and level of cultivation."
Su Nan answered clearly and forcefully, neither humble nor overbearing, "Su Nan, eighteen, from Taihua City, mid-stage Tongmai."
Upon hearing this, the disciple raised his head slightly, a flicker of barely concealed surprise in his eyes. He seemed completely surprised that this seemingly young woman before him had reached such a high level of cultivation. Without wasting a moment, he quickly wrote down the relevant information. Then, with a deft movement, he handed Su Nan a jade token and solemnly said, "Take this token and participate in the preliminary selection in three days. Only those who pass the preliminary selection will be eligible to enter the next round of assessment."
Su Nan took the jade token calmly and was about to turn around and leave the registration office when suddenly her eyes were attracted by a little boy not far away.
The little boy looked no more than twelve years old, thin but radiating a stubbornness that was hard to ignore. His hair, which should have been neat, was a little messy, as if it hadn't been properly combed in a while. A few strands of hair draped casually across his forehead, as if playfully playing.
The little boy's eyes were exceptionally bright, like the twinkling stars in the deep night sky. Although they were slightly dimmed by hunger, if you gazed closely, you could still clearly see the light of determination and unyielding spirit in them. His thick, slightly raised eyebrows added a rare heroic spirit to this still somewhat childish face.
His nose was straight, like an unshakable mountain, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, as if he was silently enduring the hardships of life. His thin cheeks were slightly rough from long-term exposure to wind and sun, but this did not make him look embarrassed, but instead added a bit of tenacity to his temperament.
The clothes he was wearing were ragged, patched up layer upon layer, and there was a little dust on the corners of his clothes. He looked a little disheveled.
At this moment, he was squatting quietly in an inconspicuous corner, holding a thin branch tightly in his hand, and drawing on the ground with concentration.
Su Nan was curious, so he walked over slowly and asked softly in a gentle voice, "Little brother, what are you drawing?"
The little boy slowly raised his head, his eyes dimmed, and he said weakly, "Sister, I'm drawing steamed buns. I'm hungry."
When Su Nan heard this, a soft feeling welled up in her heart. Her voice became even gentler, and she said with care, "Come on, I'll take you to eat."
The little boy seemed a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Sister, I... I don't have any money."
Su Nan smiled slightly, a smile as warm as the spring sun on her face. She reached out and took the little boy's hand, and said in a firm and kind tone: "It's okay, sister will treat you."
The little boy hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe Su Nan and followed her obediently.
Soon, they arrived at a nearby food stall. Su Nan carefully ordered some food. Before long, steaming hot buns and sweet and delicious rice porridge were served.
The little boy seemed a little awkward at first, sitting there somewhat bewildered. But under Su Nan's encouraging gaze, he finally let go of his worries and began to eat voraciously. Su Nan, smiling quietly, watched from the side, occasionally gently reminding him to eat slowly and not choke.
After the little boy had eaten and drunk his fill, his originally pale face finally showed some redness, and his mental state was obviously much better.
He raised his head, his eyes full of sincerity and gratitude, and said to Su Nan, "Sister, thank you."
Su Nan gently touched his head, a warm smile on her face, and said, "You're welcome. What's your name?"
The little boy answered without hesitation: "My name is Ye Chen."
Su Nan felt a little amused, thinking to herself that the name Ye Chen appeared countless times in modern online novels. She couldn't help but speculate in her heart: "This little brother is also called Ye Chen, I guess he will be a tough guy in the future."
Then she asked, "Are you coming to participate in the selection as well?"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Yes, it took me a month to get here." As he spoke, he looked down at his dirty appearance.
"Then why do you want to participate in the selection?" Su Nan continued to ask.
Ye Chen clenched his fists tightly and said with a firm look: "I want to become strong, no longer be bullied, and protect my family."
After hearing this, Su Nan nodded in agreement and encouraged him, "Then you must work hard."
Afterwards, Su Nan took Ye Chen back to the registration office. At this time, the registration line was still long, with no end in sight, but Ye Chen had recovered his strength and went to queue up alone.
Su Nan stood aside, cheering for Ye Chen: "Xiao Chen, come on, you can do it."
Ye Chen nodded vigorously, his eyes full of confidence and determination: "Sister, I will definitely work hard!"
Meanwhile, registration was still proceeding in an orderly manner, the line moving slowly forward. The little boy clenched his fists tightly, glancing at the registration desk from time to time, appearing somewhat anxious.
After a while, it was finally the little boy's turn to register.
The disciple in charge of registration asked expressionlessly, "Name, age, place of origin, and realm of cultivation."
The little boy puffed out his chest and answered loudly: "Ye Chen, twelve, from Black Stone Village, late stage of body refining."
The disciple was slightly stunned, a look of surprise on his face, clearly astonished that the boy had such advanced cultivation at such a young age. He then quickly wrote down the information, handed the boy a jade token, and said, "Take this token and participate in the preliminary selection in three days."
The little boy took the jade token and turned to leave. He glanced at Su Nan and said, "Sister, see you at the preliminary round."
