Chapter 39

"Are you really sure you want to join the Star Sect!" The middle-aged man from Green Mountain Sect still couldn't believe it and asked again.

It was a joke. On one side was a prestigious major sect, and on the other was a declining demonic sect. He actually chose the latter, which was hard to believe. Didn't he think about it?

In response to Green Mountain Sect's question, Wang Chen only nodded firmly, without saying more.

Seeing Wang Chen's determination, everyone looked at each other in surprise. The representatives from various sects on the stage never expected such an outcome, and they all shook their heads in sighs.

"Choosing to fall so low!" The middle-aged man from Donglin Mountain looked at Wang Chen deeply and sighed.

With Wang Chen's decision settled, the sect selection was finally over, with some happy and some sad. The better prospects had all been taken by the major sects, leaving the smaller sects feeling quite aggrieved. This was why the gap between sects was growing wider, the strong becoming stronger and the weak becoming weaker.

The crowd gradually dispersed, discussing the events. Some were envious, some were jealous, but the most talked-about person was still Wang Chen. This guy, who was not highly regarded, actually received the attention of all the sects! This was beyond everyone's expectations. Who would have thought that he would give up so many great opportunities to choose the Star Sect? It was a shock to everyone.

Wang Chen didn't pay attention to the discussions. He had made his choice and wouldn't regret it.

"Hehe... Little boy, not bad. Choosing our Star Sect was the right choice. Go back and prepare well, and follow me tomorrow!" The elder from the Star Sect looked at Wang Chen, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light, and said with a smile. The Star Sect rarely recruited disciples from outside; their disciples were usually trained from a young age!

However, this time, when he saw Wang Chen at the Han family, his thoughts changed. That terrifying combat ability and that indomitable will deeply moved the elder. Such a person seemed to be born for the Star Sect, making him want to take him in!

The elder's smile, however, gave Wang Chen a cold feeling, making his skin crawl.

The crowd in the training ground gradually dispersed, and soon only a few people remained. After a few words of advice, the elder from the Star Sect left with the two middle-aged men behind him. Standing there, Wang Chen exhaled, looking at the blue sky: "Am I leaving tomorrow?"

The time was a bit rushed! In just one day, there were still many things he needed to handle. Thinking of this, he felt a sense of urgency and walked straight out of the training ground. He had to finish his business as soon as possible!

However, just as he walked out of the training ground, he paused. In front of him, a graceful figure stood quietly, her skirt fluttering in the wind, like a blooming snow lotus!

Han Yuxuan? Wang Chen was taken aback. It seemed she was waiting for him here. Did she have something to say?

Furrowing his brows, he took a deep breath, and a faint fragrance filled his nose, giving him a familiar feeling. After so many years, the scent hadn't changed! This fragrance made Wang Chen momentarily lost in thought. Finally, he hesitated and walked forward.

He didn't know how to face Han Yuxuan. Every time he saw her, his heart felt particularly complicated, with an indescribable feeling!

"Are you really going to join the Star Sect?" Just as Wang Chen was about to pass by the girl, she asked.

"You should know what the Star Sect is!" Han Yuxuan continued softly, her face complex. When the Wang family still existed, he had lived there for a year and learned about the Star Sect.

"I know more about it than you do!" Wang Chen frowned and said coldly, preparing to walk away.

"You can go to Donglin Mountain. I can help you. That's your best choice!" Seeing Wang Chen about to leave, Han Yuxuan said anxiously.

"My decision is mine!" Wang Chen coldly threw these words and quickened his pace.

"You..." Han Yuxuan stood there, watching his retreating back, her mouth opening and closing, but she didn't know what to say.

Is he really going to that place? The Star Sect, with its harsh training methods, can he survive? Han Yuxuan couldn't help but worry!

Standing there with a dejected look, her eyes dimmed. She knew that Wang Chen still resented his father's actions two years ago and resented her for standing by silently without opposing. But did he know that she had strongly opposed it at the time, but her father and the elders' decision was beyond her control.

"Damn brat!" Unbeknownst to him, at a hidden corner of the training ground, a pair of cold eyes glared at Wang Chen, filled with murderous intent, and quickly followed him.

Walking ahead, Wang Chen's face was somewhat dejected. Thinking of Han Yuxuan, his expression became even more complex.

Thinking about everything that had happened over the past two years, it seemed that only she still cared about him in the Han family! Was it to make up for what her father had done?

He should resent the Han family, but why did he never feel any resentment when he faced her? His heart always became restless and complex when he was with her. Was he still missing the girl who used to follow him around and pout?

He laughed bitterly, shook his head hard, and threw these thoughts away, walking quickly, as if trying to escape this place and that complex gaze.

Leaving the academy, he looked back at the grand gate behind him, sighing inwardly. This might be the last time he would come here. When would he return next?

He had spent two years here, enduring ridicule. Now, thinking about it, it seemed like just a blink of an eye. He had endured the hardest times, and what was left? Only better times ahead!

"Star Sect!" Turning his head, Wang Chen muttered to himself. This would be a new beginning for him.

Walking on the main street of Qingfeng City, feeling the lively atmosphere and the noisy environment, Wang Chen's heart was calm, without any lingering attachment. Such prosperity seemed too distant for him now, with too many things waiting for him to do.

Leaving the bustling Qingfeng City, he came to the outskirts, looking at the distant green mountains and clear waters. Wang Chen took a long breath, feeling that such a peaceful environment was what he liked best!

As he moved forward, the passersby gradually decreased, and soon the empty path was left with only Wang Chen.

Suddenly, a figure flashed and blocked Wang Chen's path, with a cold smile!

The sudden change made Wang Chen's face change, and he quickly stepped back two steps. True essence flowed through his body, gathering and coiling, ready for battle!

"Are you from the Purple Dawn Hall?" Recognizing the person, Wang Chen asked coldly.

He recognized this person, one of the Purple Dawn Hall's people who had come to participate in the selection, following the masked woman. Why was he here, and what was his purpose?

Seeing the person's aggressive stance, Wang Chen became even more cautious.

"Yes, I am Ling Feng from the Purple Dawn Hall!" The man answered straightforwardly, without any concealment.
