The final bargain was that everyone would disguise himself.
Having made up their minds, they sailed to the direction of Chen Kingdom.
Afraid that the gold class ship was too conspicuous, on half way, they turned the ship into a silver class one, and then afraid that a silver class ship still too conspicuous, they changed it into a lifeboat.
Finally several men took a lifeboat to land in a small town.
In order to hide themselves, they not only disguised themselves, but also restrained their cultivation to level six.
Qian Ye sat in a small pub in the small town, speaking to others, "I went out to inquire about it. In another month, it will be the enrollment time for Chen's colleges. We can go to the colleges and have a look. There are not so many restrictions in colleges here. And we can also learn a lot of things."
Mo Fei nodded, "All right."
"How do we get there? Do you know the way?" He asked Qian Ye.
Qian Ye curled his lips and smiled."I don't, " he said, "but the daughter of the chatelain of this town is going to take part in the enrolling selection. She is recruiting retinues. We can apply for the job. Maybe we can take the ride and earn some star crystals."
"How many star crystals?" Asked Mo Fei eagerly.
"One for each." Qian Ye held out a finger helplessly.
Mo Fei's face contorted, "Just one? Seriously?"
Qian Ye helplessly smiled and said, "Better than nothing! Star crystals are not ordinary thing, you know, very precious."
"But one is too low." said Mo Fei.
Qian Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "In order to avoid the enemies, we have restrained our cultivation level. It is possible that they might pay a high price for this work if we show our real capability. You know, her father is a poor man, and he would not be willing to hire us then if we ask more."
Mo Fei shook his head, saying, "Fine, fine. Oh right, is his daughter beautiful?"
Lou Yu hesitated for a moment, saying with some dissatisfaction, "Feifei, why do you care about that?"
Mo Fei shrugged his shoulder."Just asking. It would be a pleasure to have a beautiful woman along the way."
Lou Yu stared at Mo Fei, "With a husband who can warm your bed, fight the bad people and earn star crystals, why do you still want a beauty as your company?"
Mo Fei looked at the appearance of Lou Yu, helplessly smiled, then hooked his arm and said, "You are right!"
Qian Ye and others passed the assessment, accompanied the Miss to set off.
The Miss was called Rong Qiuyue, a level five star magician.
There were over a hundred of people, heading for the recruitment place.
Lou Yu and others got mixed in the team, the slightest bit insignificant.
About half a day on the journey, a high-pitched birdsong caught everyone's attention.
A snow-white bird was pulling a carriage and galloping over, on the carriage sat a handsome man, the left and right side of whom sat two ravishingly beautiful girls. What a scene!
The carriage was followed by ten men, two level eight and eight level seven, all with bright eyes, a commanding presence.
"Level eight Baifeng bird. Mount of Tang Qianxi, young master of Tang family."
"Tang Qianxi is the direct descendant of Tang family. What is he doing here?"
"I heard he is here to buy purple night pearls."
"Tang Qianxi is really handsome!" One of the young girls in the team said worshipfully.
...
Zheng Xuan touched Qian Ye with his shoulder, "Look at that."
Qian Ye said grumpily, "What?"
"He is like that, while you are like this." Zheng Xuan said gloatingly.
Qian Ye shot dagger eyes at Zheng Xuan, "He is no better than I am!"
Zheng Xuan laughed in spite of himself.
Qian Ye gave Zheng Xuan a hard look, "You really have two holes above your nose." Tang Qianxi was only at level seven, while he was already at level eight.
While hurrying on with the journey, they also went on cultivating. When they arrived at the recruitment place in Wang City, they also spent all their star crystals.
Because it was in the season of enrollment, the imperial capital was quite lively, restaurants and inns crowded, people coming and going on the road.
"Miss Yin! It's Miss Yin's carriage!" A pedestrian on the road gasped.
An incomparably luxurious carriage passed in front of everyone, through the thin gauze tent, the figure of the beauty was faintly visible.
"It's Miss Yin! How beautiful!"
"Of course, Miss Yin but one of top ten beautiful women in the capital."
"I wonder which college Miss Yin will apply for."
"I heard it's the Star College. Princess Mingyue will also go there."
"The beauties like signing up for the Star College! It is said that Miss Yin has a fiancé!"
"How long ago was it? It was said that Miss Yin's fiancé had a problem, and their engagement had been canceled."
...
"It's not bad!" Zheng Xuan touched Qian Ye with his elbow.
Qian Ye gave Zheng Xuan an eye, "Not bad? Which eye of yours sees no bad? Nothing but a commonplace woman!"
Zheng Xuan twitched his mouth, saying, "Are you being jealous?"
Qian Ye glanced at Zheng Xuan, raised his head high and said, "I don't want to talk to you."
