2269 Yu Ling Joins the Exam, Gu Lingling Reunites With the Others

"Come on, Sister Linglong. Let's go."

Yu Ling brought Gu Linglong away from the fortune teller's stall. 

The fortune teller saw them off. He took an extra glance at Gu Linglong and shook his head in awe.

"It's rare to see such a benefactor in the Infiniverse, but from the looks of her talents and cultivation level, she's not the best. How could her fate be so noble? 

"I also sensed that her fate is closely related to something else. I tried having a glance, but my heart was pounding wildly already. Could it be that her fate is noble because of someone else?"

It was not entirely impossible.

Fate and destiny were ever-changing.

Some were born with a poor life, but with the right opportunities, such as having a benefactor in their lives, their fate would ascend to nobility or more.

It was also the reason why the fortune teller wanted to make an acquaintance with Gu Linglong.

Knowing someone with such a noble fate was only beneficial.

"If she's noble because of someone else, how powerful is that person to affect her fate to this extent?"

The fortune teller was astonished.

Not even a Monarch's fate was capable of that.

…

"Ling'er, you've been staring at me for a while now," Gu Linglong said with annoyance.

Since they left the fortune-telling stall, Yu Ling had been staring at Gu Linglong.

"Sister Linglong, the fortune teller said you have a noble fate. Are you some powerful figure of some powerful force?" Yu Ling asked curiously.

"I used to be the empress of a country, but the strongest person there was only a Primordial," Gu Linglong said.

She was not lying.

Ever since the Great Hongmeng Universe opened up, most of the elites of the Pan Gu Universe came here, and only the Primordials were left back home. They were the most common Primordials as well.

"Is that so?" 

Yu Long thought for a while and decided to put the question to rest.

If she called Gu Linglong her sister, no matter what her fate was, be it noble or cheap, she would still be her sister.

"Come on. Let's go join the Pan Gu Sect's evaluation exam."

"Alright!"

Gu Linglong nodded and looked forward to it.

…

Cultivators from all over the universe came to the Pan Gu Sect, wanting to join.

As such, the examination venue was lively and crowded.

Yu Ling saw the venue flooded with people, and it scared her. "My goodness, can I really pass the exam?"

She felt defeated already.

Gu Linglong said with a smile, "Believe in yourself. The fortune teller told you that you will get the help of a benefactor, so you will surely make it."

"Yeah, I wonder who the benefactor is."

Curious, Yu Ling looked at Gu Linglong and grinned. "Sister Linglong, could it be you?"

Gu Linglong pondered and smiled. "Maybe."

"Sister Linglong, you sure know how to joke." 

Yu Ling did not take it to heart.

There were a few invigilators present for the entrance exams. 

Yu Ling had done her homework before she arrived and started to introduce Gu Linglong to the invigilators.

"Sister Linglong, you see that woman with silver hair and armor? She's Lan Yu, a Grand Dao realm cultivator. She's beautiful, right?

"The one beside her is Nuwa, one of the Human Guardians who is also a Grand Dao cultivator. That old man with white hair is Yang Mei, who is good with Space Dao and unpredictable means. I heard he's one of the strongest in the Pan Gu Sect…"

Gu Linglong simply smiled at Yu Ling's introduction. 

As a matter of fact, she knew them better than Yu Ling.

Lan Yu looked at the people who came for the exam. When she spotted Gu Linglong from the crowd, she was delighted. 

She wanted to welcome her, but Gu Linglong shook her head.

Lan Yu froze and stopped. She spotted Yu Ling beside Gu Linglong, and it made her think that Gu Linglong had a new sister.

Soon, the exam started.

Yang Mei opened up an artificial forest realm and let the examinees go in. 

Inside would be the true venue for the exam.

"Yu Ling, I'll wait for you outside."

"Sister Linglong, aren't you coming?"

Yu Ling was slightly baffled, but a sudden realization struck her afterward. "I know! Don't worry, Sister Linglong, I'll go in and see what the exam is about, and I'll tell you afterward. Then, you will have a greater chance at it!"

Gu Linglong simply smiled.

Then, Yu Ling entered the forest realm.

After the examinees entered the forest realm, Lan Yu and the others came over to welcome Gu Linglong.

"Sister Linglong, you're finally here in the Great Hongmeng Universe!"

"Everyone, it's been a long time."

Gu Linglong missed Lan Yu and the others.

"Sister Gu, nice to see you again."

Li Jun and the others bowed at her. They knew who she was and dared not be disrespectful.

"Greetings, everyone."

"Sister Linglong, who's that girl?"

"A companion I met here. She wanted to join the Pan Gu Sect, so I tagged along," Gu Linglong said.

"If that's the case, we can accept her directly. She doesn't have to pass the exam," Shang Honghua said.

Gu Linglong shook her head. "It's okay. We can't break the rules for her. Besides, I believe she can pass the exam with her own abilities."

After spending some time with Yu Ling, Gu Linglong got to know her personality and abilities.

If Gu Linglong got her into the Pan Gu Sect through nepotism, the girl would not be happy.

Why not let the girl try her best at the exam and join the Pan Gu Sect openly?

Then, she asked about Chu Kuangren.

"Master is in closed-door meditation."

"I see…"

They chatted, and time flew.

Soon, the exam was over, and as expected, Yu Ling passed the exam. 

However, Yu Ling did not see Gu Linglong after coming out from the forest realm, which confused her. 

"Where's Sister Linglong?"

"Miss, I believe you're Yu Ling. Am I right?" Li Jun went up to her. 

"Yes, I am."

Yu Ling bowed to Li Jun with a fist salute.

Li Jun was a Grand Dao cultivator, someone who ranked high on the Grand Dao Leaderboard, while she was but an Embodier.

"Sister Linglong is a little busy with something, but she will contact you when she's free. Now that you've joined us, let me bring you to your place."

"Oh, okay."

Yu Ling was still confused.

Li Jun was one of the higher-ranking members of the Pan Gu Sect, yet he was the one who welcomed Yu Ling. 

It overwhelmed the girl. She believed she did not stand out in the exam whatsoever.

Besides, the fortune teller said she would face problems in her exams, but it had been a smooth sail until now.

What about her benefactor?

Yu Ling remained confused when Li Jun brought her to the residential area for the new recruits. 

After she settled down, she sent Gu Linglong a message. When she got to know that Gu Linglong was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.

On the second day, Yu Ling woke up and started her cultivation.

"Pan Gu Sect is really different. To think a new recruit can enjoy such a beautiful environment!" Yu Ling said gratefully.

Her place had some formations set up for her that would boost her cultivation speed.

"The people inside, listen up! Surrender this place immediately!"

Then, a loud voice came from outside her door.

Yu Ling was confused. "What's going on?"

She went out to have a look and saw several cultivators standing at her door. They looked hostile. The leader had a jaded fan in his hand, seemingly a gentleman but with a vicious gaze.

"What are you guys doing?" Yu Ling asked with furrowed brows.

"It's simple. Surrender this place to us."
