Chapter 2030: Chapter 2030: Did Someone from Half-Mountain Residence Show Favoritism?

”Just because the admission rate is extremely low, you think having one more person doesn’t matter?” Ye Haochuan chuckled and sighed, ”That’s not right. From a probability perspective, the fewer people there are, the higher your chance of getting selected!”

”Wrong, wrong, wrong!” The youth looked down on Ye Haochuan again and said, ”I say, do you really want to be selected?”

”If I don’t want to be selected, what am I doing here?” Ye Haochuan was baffled by the question.

”True, if you don’t even know that Half-Mountain Residence only picks one person, naturally, you wouldn’t know about that eccentric Ju Yuqu either, right?” The youth shook his head and sighed, ”With that weirdo around, others don’t stand a chance, okay?”

”Ju Yuqu? That talented genius from the Ju Family?” Ye Haochuan recalled hearing a mention of him earlier from the man by the wooden structure, it left some impression.

”Who else could it be?” The youth curled his lip and sighed, ”At eighteen, his cultivation level reached Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage. Such a genius, even ten of us couldn’t compare!”

”Knowing you’re no match, why do you still attend this Disciple Selection Meeting?” Ye Haochuan asked with a smile.

”Of course, it’s to make a name for myself!” The youth replied proudly, ”This Half-Mountain Residence Disciple Selection Meeting is a world-renowned event. If you can shine brightly here, the road ahead will surely be smooth and promising!”

Ye Haochuan finally understood why outsiders, knowing they wouldn’t be selected, were still eager to attend the Half-Mountain Residence’s Disciple Selection Meeting; it was because of this.

Ye Haochuan wasn’t interested in making a name for himself or being a disciple of Half-Mountain Residence. He simply wanted to enter the top three, find that gray-black-haired person, rescue Sophia, and then continue on his own path.

Therefore, he didn’t care about Ju Yuqu at all, but he did have a good impression of the youth in front of him.

This guy, after seeing his cultivation level, didn’t show any disdain and spoke so much to him—a truly kind-hearted person.

Even in remote places like Shuanghua County and Mushan County, those below Immortal Transformation were despised. Moreover, in big places like Half-Mountain County, even Immortal Transformation Cultivators were as common as fish in a river, and no one bothered to respect a Nascent Soul Stage ant.

”By the way, my name is Cao Renshuang, what’s yours?”

”Cao Renshuang? Nice name, haha!” Ye Haochuan chuckled and told his name as well.

The two immediately started chatting away.

This Cao Renshuang was the young master of a major family in Half-Mountain County; half of the mines there were operated by his family, a wealthy and influential one. However, he was evidently not a spoiled brat and was a kind-hearted person.

”By the way, that woman downstairs and the two men from Half-Mountain Residence outside, are they disciples of Half-Mountain Residence?” Ye Haochuan suddenly asked.

On his way here, these three piqued Ye Haochuan’s curiosity the most.

”Those three are disciples of the fourth generation of Half-Mountain Residence, their cultivation level is likely at the bottom of the list in Half-Mountain Residence!” Cao Renshuang replied.

My gosh, even the ones at the bottom are at Immortal Transformation Late Stage, how strong would the strongest be?

Ye Haochuan found it a bit overwhelming to imagine.

Cao Renshuang didn’t pay attention to the change in Ye Haochuan’s expression and continued, ”The one outside named Shu Longyue, is the youngest disciple of the fourth generation, was previously the standout in the last Disciple Selection Meeting. Five years ago, he was at Immortal Transformation Early Stage, in just five short years, he has crossed two levels!”

”The second one named Guan Shan, ranks sixth in the fourth generation, from the batch fifteen years ago. I don’t know much, just that his skills in physiognomy are extraordinary. As for the senior sister downstairs, she’s even more mysterious; all I know is her name is Liu Yifei, her cultivation level is unknown...”

Ye Haochuan silently noted down these names, knowing if he could truly connect with Half-Mountain Residence, these people would definitely be immensely helpful.

After some conversation, the two shared their food and went to bed early.

Today was already the last day of registration, and tomorrow the formal competition would start. The two must conserve their strength and be in the best state to face tomorrow’s competition.

Early the next morning, the two got up early and went downstairs to gather. It was Ye Haochuan’s first time seeing the other selected people.

The people here were not that old; the oldest was only in their thirties.

”Huh? How did a Nascent Soul Stage ant sneak in?” A fox-faced lady glanced at Ye Haochuan disdainfully.

Her remark successfully resonated with those around her.

”Yeah, if it were a virgin, it might be excusable, but at twenty-four or twenty-five, still not shedding the mundane, how can one be considered a genius?”

”Could it be that he sneaked in here when Brother Guan Shan wasn’t paying attention? Otherwise, with such qualities, how could he appear here?”

”That’s definitely it!” A gray-cloaked youth agreed, then disdainfully said to Ye Haochuan, ”Hey, I advise you to leave quickly, standing with you is simply an insult to us geniuses!”

This remark immediately caused an uproar of laughter.

”How can you say that? If Half-Mountain Residence’s gate were so easy to break into, why don’t you sneak in and show me?” Cao Renshuang couldn’t bear it anymore and spoke up.

His words made the gray-cloaked youth flush with embarrassment, speechless.

The gate of Half-Mountain Residence, even a master of Immortal Transformation Peak wouldn’t dare say they could breach it, let alone Ye Haochuan, just a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

Anyone with such an idea would have to be a fool.

The fox-faced lady disdainfully added, ”Even if not sneaked in, so what? Perhaps he got in by some other disgraceful means?”

”Are you implying that Half-Mountain Residence’s people are corrupt?” Ye Haochuan suddenly asked with a smile.

”This...” The fox-faced lady was suddenly at a loss for words and dared not respond.

If she said no, it would slap her own face; if she said yes, it would offend Half-Mountain Residence.

”You lot, with such short-sightedness!” Cao Renshuang seized the opportunity to say, ”Brother Ye, since he was chosen, surely has remarkable qualities; if you look down on him, you will definitely pay for it!”

My goodness, this guy, isn’t he reminding them to pay more attention to me?

Ye Haochuan was touched yet slightly helpless.

Pretending to be weak to surprise the enemy often gains advantages. If he were taken seriously, every battle might require considerable effort.

Compared to hard fights, Ye Haochuan hoped to be underestimated.

Thankfully, those around clearly did not take Cao Renshuang’s words to heart and dismissed Ye Haochuan with a glance, saying, ”What kind of waves could a Nascent Soul Stage ant stir up?”

”You...” Cao Renshuang wanted to say more but was stopped by Ye Haochuan’s smile.

Just then, a white-clothed youth descended slowly from upstairs, ignoring everyone around, and stood directly at the head of the line.

Upon seeing him, one could tell he possessed extraordinary bearing, radiating an aura of disdain for all beings.

His arrival shifted everyone’s attention in the line away from Ye Haochuan and towards him. Especially the fox-faced lady, who swayed her graceful figure, elegantly approached the white-clothed youth, speaking softly to try and catch his attention.
