Chapter 79: Hit the South Wall and Don't Look Back
Lin Yun and Lin Ying walked along the street and soon found an inn where they planned to stay.
The innkeeper was a bloated middle-aged man. When he heard that Lin Yun and his wife were only staying for one night, he immediately showed surprise: "You are only staying for one night?"
"Yes." Lin Yun stood in front of the counter and replied expressionlessly.
The bloated shopkeeper looked at Lin Yun and Lin Ying, then raised his eyebrows and asked: "Looking at your accent, you are not local, right?"
Lin Yun didn't speak, just nodded expressionlessly.
"You came to Yuzhou City to report to Yuzhou Wufu?" the shopkeeper asked tentatively.
"What's the problem?" Lin Yun replied confused.
The shopkeeper reminded: "It's not cost-effective to only stay for one night. If you rent from one week, you can get a 20% discount. If you rent from one month, you can get a 40% discount."
Seeing that Lin Yun was still puzzled, the shopkeeper explained: "Our inn is close to Yuzhou Wufu, so there is a very shortage of guest rooms."
"Now there happens to be a vacant room, but you only rent it for one night. If it is rented by someone else, you won't be able to rent it again. So I advise you to rent it for a month first."
Lin Yun frowned slightly: "Yuzhou Wufu, doesn't it provide accommodation for its disciples?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and smiled: "Of course Yuzhou Wufu will provide accommodation, but it is only provided to formal disciples. You have not become a formal disciple yet, so naturally you cannot enjoy this treatment."
"I will go to the entrance tomorrow." Lin Yun replied calmly.
The shopkeeper chuckled, and then said to Lin Yun: "Little brother, it seems you don't know something. Yuzhou Martial Arts Mansion is the best martial arts training place in Yuzhou County, so the requirements for disciples are extremely strict."
"Even if you receive the entry order from the elders, you still have to pass the entry test before you can officially enter the Wu Mansion."
"So what?" Lin Yun remained expressionless, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Boy, it seems that you are one of the few geniuses in your hometown, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so young and frivolous!"
The speaker was a pimple-faced boy.
This young man is about sixteen or seventeen years old and is at the peak of a first-level warrior.
Lin Yun did not speak, nor did he turn to look at the pimpled boy.
The pimple boy then said to Lin Yun: "Do you know how difficult the entry examination for the Yuzhou Martial Arts Mansion is?"
Lin Yun ignored the lumpy boy.
The pimpled boy looked at Lin Yun with disdain and said to himself: "The disciples of Yuzhou Wufu are all geniuses from various regions."
"Even if you have amazing talents in your hometown, when you come to Yuzhou Martial Palace, you are just a mediocre disciple. It is not an exaggeration to even say that you are a stepping stone!"
The pimple boy walked up to Lin Yun and said to Lin Yun in an experienced tone: "I am a genius from Tongnan City, and I am also a prospective disciple who has received the order to come to Yuzhou Martial Mansion to report."
"I have been here for half a month. From the first day I came here, I went up the mountain at sunrise and down the mountain every day. I took countless assessments but failed. To this day, I still can't officially get started, so I can only rent a house temporarily.
In this inn.”
After listening to the pimple boy's words, Lin Yun just said "Oh" indifferently, as if he was going to the market to buy vegetables.
The pimply boy suddenly felt the urge to vomit blood. His emotions had just been playing to a cow.
After a moment of pause, the pimple boy pointed to several other teenagers not far away: "Besides me, there are many quasi-disciples who came to report. They range from a week to a month, and there are even several
I haven’t been able to get started in a month.”
Being exposed, the young men in the distance frowned in dissatisfaction.
One of the teenagers said to the pimple boy: "Haogou, why are you talking to him so much nonsense? Wait until he takes the exam once, and you will know how difficult the entrance exam is!"
"That's right, I've seen a lot of arrogant guys like him. He always thinks he's different and can do things that others can't. He never listens to persuasion. He's so stupid!"
Lin Ying couldn't stand listening anymore and was about to retort, but was stopped by Lin Yun.
From the beginning to the end, Lin Yun remained expressionless and turned a deaf ear to the words of these young men.
In Lin Yun's eyes, these teenagers are just a group of ignorant children.
An old monster who has lived for hundreds of years will naturally not be as knowledgeable as ignorant children, let alone take action against a group of children just because they are laughed at.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper continued to persuade: "Little brother, listen to me, I have been a shopkeeper here for many years, and I have seen many outstanding geniuses. But even the most outstanding among them have passed the entrance examination of Yuzhou Martial Palace.
It took five whole days.”
"Little brother, I don't mean to belittle you. You are only staying for one night. Obviously you want to pass the entrance examination in one day, but this is simply not realistic! I think you should rent it for a long time. This way you can get a discount and it is more cost-effective.
"
"No need." Lin Yun didn't even think about it and refused without hesitation.
Everyone present looked at Lin Yun as if they were idiots.
Are there really such stubborn people in the world?
Even though he had already spoken for this reason, he remained indifferent and insisted on going his own way, never looking back until he hit the wall.
This is simply hopeless!
"Haha, that's up to you." The shopkeeper chuckled, and then handed the lock to Lin Yun without any further persuasion.
Lin Yun reached out and took the lock, then pulled Lin Ying into the guest room.
After the door was closed, the teenagers in the hall started taunting him wantonly.
"He's really ignorant! We tried to persuade him with good intentions, but he didn't listen at all."
"Just wait and see, he will definitely regret it tomorrow! The room will be rented out by then, and he will have to sleep on the street!"
Several teenagers seemed to have foreseen the tragic scene that would happen when Lin Yun failed the assessment tomorrow and could not find a guest room for lodging when he came back.
When they think of that scene, several teenagers are filled with great anticipation.
…
After entering the guest room, Lin Yun immediately meditated cross-legged on the bed and performed the healing technique "Nine Transformations to Return to Heaven" to heal his injuries.
After the healing technique was activated, Lin Yun's body temperature soared rapidly, his body continued to sweat, and his clothes were constantly soaked.
Lin Ying poured a basin of hot water and gently wiped the sweat off Lin Yun's body.
Although there was no damage to Lin Yun's body, Lin Ying could tell from Lin Yun's face that Lin Yun's condition was not very good.
Everyone in the audience thought that Lin Yun received Jiang Nanjian's sword without any damage. Only Lin Ying knew that Lin Yun was not relaxed after receiving the sword.
While Lin Yun was meditating, Lin Ying cared for Lin Yun in every possible way and took care of her in every possible way.
After an hour of meditation, Lin Yun's injury was completely healed.
When Lin Yun opened his eyes, a fierce light immediately burst out in them.
Today, Jiang Nanjian seriously injured Lin Yun with one sword strike.
One day, Lin Yun will definitely pay back a hundredfold!
