Zhang Yi’s gaze was very gentle, a kind that easily drew people’s trust .
He almost never stared at one person, yet he seemed to be looking at everyone . This way, no one felt they were ignored .
Like in this moment, when Ding Ning’s gaze just landed on him, Zhang Yi noticed him and then nodded gently at him .
A mere White Goat Cave had someone like this?
Ding Ning felt the other’s presence and was truly shocked .
“I know that I cannot compare to Eldest Senior Sect Brother in any area, but I also understand a truth . No matter what White Goat Cave is like today, and will be in the future, we have never had trash, and we have never been an embarrassment . ” The young youth called Shen Bai took a deep breath . Due to his excitement, his hands uncontrollably twisted together . “Since Eldest Senior Sect Brother has said this, we will not vent our anger on him . But if he wants to join, he must at least make us feel he is qualified by passing some of our entry tests . ”
Zhang Yi’s gaze once again landed on Ding Ning . Looking at this youth who had been at ease and calm from beginning to now, his gaze showed some other light .
“The entry tests are not so important . You know that even if one passes the tests, the final decision is in the hands of the cave master . Since Cave Master has already agreed, he is a young disciple of our White Goat Cave . You lack politeness and friendship by blockading here,” Zhang Yi said gently . “And I can guarantee that this young junior sect brother will definitely have great accomplishments in the future . ”
“Who can easily predict the future? I do not care about the future, only the present . ” Just as the students in front of the gazes gradually calm under Zhang Yi’s gentle words, a cold voice came from the mountain path behind them .
This voice caused the grey-robed swordsman who had been waiting worriedly in front of the carriage to shudder . From the cold tone, he felt a powerful threat .
Originally, he had just felt Ding Ning would have some trouble after joining . Now it appeared even his entry would not be as simple as imagined .
“Si Qin Senior Sect Brother!”

The numerous youths, including Shen Bai, brightened . Looking at their excited and respectful expressions, it appeared that this person was higher in their minds than Zhang Yi .
The person who walked out of the mist was also graceful and handsome . Even if he was thrown onto the most prosperous street in Changling, people would see him at a glance .
“If I do not personally see him, how will I be assured?
“If this spreads, people will think that our White Goat Cave has no rules, anyone can enter, and it is a place to store garbage . ”
This person was handsome, but his eyes and tone were full of edges like sharp blades .
Young people would easily become obsessed with a presence like this .
White Goat Cave had so many extraordinary cultivators?
Ding Ning did not pay attention to the words themselves but felt the presence of this handsome young person carrying a sword on his back . His eyes once again flashed with shock .
Zhang Yi’s expression changed slightly .
He was confident he could persuade all the students here but he could not persuade Su Qin .
Especially when Su Qin’s words seemed to be like a dagger hidden in a sleeve .
“Do not try to convince me . ”
Su Qin’s words did not stop . Like a dagger in a sleeve, it could not help but show itself . His sharp gaze landed on Zhang Yi . “You should know . When we felt injustice … especially when we are being merged into Green Vine Sword School . Many things will occur . ”

Hearing these words, Zhang Yi could not help but frown . Ding Ning lifted his head slightly and wanted to speak .
At this time, a cold and disdainful female voice came from behind the carriage of the grey-robed swordsman . “No wonder White Goat Cave has experienced such a change . They only know to fight among themselves . ”
The grey-robed swordsman stilled and turned around . Then he discovered that numerous students dressed in purple robes had appeared behind the carriage . The leader was a petite and pretty young girl .
Other than Zhang Yi and Su Qin, all the White Goat Cave students changed expression .
Shen Bai immediately became furious when he saw the color and pattern of the other’s robes . He shouted, “What are you to speak!”
Ding Ning turned and looked at these unwelcome guests in purple robes, especially the pretty young girl at the front . He sighed .
His present cultivation was relatively low so he did not notice these people making their way up the path, blocked by the carriage .
But he recognized this pretty young girl .
So he was clear why Shen Bai was so angry . Now it appeared this simple entry into the sect became even more complicated .
“I am not a what . ”
The young girl’s expression had been frosty to begin with . Hearing Shen Bai’s angry words, her eyes became colder and filled with disdain . “I am Nangong Caishu, a disciple of Green Vine Sword School . My father is Nangong Pocheng . If I am correct, you are the youngest disciple of White Goat Cave, Shen Bai . Your father should be Shen Feijing . He should have been one of my father’s subordinates . ”
Shen Bai’s face paled and he uncontrollably trembled .
He knew the other was a disciple of Green Vine Sword School yet he had not expected the other to have such a status .

The sense of class structure in the military was stronger than in other places .
Subordinates were especially respectful of their generals who promoted them . Most battles were directed by high ranking generals . Subordinates followed their orders in battle, and their lives were in the hands of the high-ranking generals . If they could survive the battle and receive successive rewards, this showed that the generals were wise in command and outstanding in their strategy . Naturally, there was a share of the high ranked general’s merit in the rewards the soldiers received . They had to remember this favor .
Nangong Caishu was someone even his father had to respect . Yet he insulted her .
“If our principal agreed for someone to join Green Vine to study, we will not block the gates to stop him from entering . As to you saying you cannot see his present abilities, I only want to tell you one thing . One of Li Lingjun’s cultivators humiliated me, Xu Heshan, and Xie Changsheng . Yet he humiliated Li Lingjun . You can imagine the disparity of White Goat Cave and Li Lingjun’s establishment . If he wants to choose, he will already be an honored guest in Li Lingjun’s establishment . ”
Nangong Caishu continued to say sarcastically, “He chooses White Goat Cave, but you turn your backs to him, and want to obstruct him?”
Everyone was shocked .
The White Goat Cave disciples looked in disbelief at Ding Ning .
Li Lingjun was a hostage, yet through his quick rise in the years, Li Lingjun’s establishment had surpassed the stats of other cultivation places .
The events on the streets clearly had not reached White Goat Cave . They did not believe Li Lingjun, a common youth, could embarrass Li Lingjun .
In this kind of ruckus, Su Qin raised his eyebrows . A cold light flashed across his handsome face . His lips moved slightly .
A calm voice sounded . “It is just a simple entry . Why does it have to be so complicated?”
A sudden silence occurred in front of the gates .
Everyone looked dazedly at Ding Ning . They finally remembered the true focal point of this drama . The person at the center of the conflict finally expressed his own opinions for the first time .
Simple?
This was a simple matter?
Su Qin’s sharp gaze grew colder, and his brow furrowed .
But Ding Ning did not give him the chance to speak . From how Su Qin had appeared, he could see Su Qin had higher authority in White Goat Cave than Zhang Yi . He also saw that Su Qin was a talented orator .
He was grateful to Nangong Caishu for speak on his behalf, yet he did not want to waste more time here .
“Since there are tests, then test me . This way, no one will have any objections . ” Ding Ning had a calm expression as he looked seriously at the pale Shen Bai, then at the worried Zhang Yi, and then the cold Su Qin .
“Really?” Su Qin’s eyebrows rose even higher as he finally spoke .
Zhang Yi and Nangong Caishu’s expression changed .
But Ding Ning, who did not want to waste time, nodded firmly . “Yes . ”
Silence occurred again .
Everyone’s gazes were filled with puzzlement and doubt . They thought inside this common youth was too arrogant . He did not know that the entry tests of all cultivation sects were difficult to pass . Or did he have extraordinary talent and possess absolute confidence?
“Come,” Ding Ning smiled slightly and said .
Su Qin’s breathing suddenly paused . His eyes narrowed slightly and then he smiled, showing some of his snowy-white teeth . “Alright, let him try . ”
