Come back next year? What's that all about?
Seeing that he couldn't help Yun Sheng, Gu Feng apologized vigorously and was dragged back by Mei Li.
After being rejected by Mei Li, Yun Sheng asked the guards, only then did she find out that she had missed the enrollment time of the Royal Magic Academy.
The enrollment period for the Royal Magic Academy was in every spring, and it had ended two months ago.
It is already early summer now, which meant that Yun Sheng would need to wait till next year if she wants to enter the Royal Magic Academy, and register for assessment.
Doctor Fan could only comfort Yun Sheng that one year would pass very fast, and in that year, she could learn the primary water magic from Doctor Fan, like the Dream Cloud spell. This way Yun Sheng would already know three elements.
***
After that day, the medicine hall was much busier than before. One month later, the days became increasingly hotter, it was already the height of summer. Only then did Yun Sheng remember that she had agreed to sell and bring medicine to the Wen Estate, to Wen Renhuo.
The income of the medicine hall has become stable, and Yun Sheng also had come to be acquainted with other doctors, but the profit from selling medicines was substantial, Yun Sheng also wanted to refine some new medicines, all of which required a lot of money. So, Yun Sheng decided to make a trip to the Wen Estate to sell the Qiqisan and meditation water.
During lunch break, before the medicine hall became too busy, Yun Sheng took a leave from Doctor Fan, put on the Beast Ring and after taking all the medicine and putting on the ring went out the door.
As soon as Yun Sheng stepped out of the medicine hall, Xiao Hei followed behind her.
It had been a while since Yun Sheng had taken Xiao Hei out of the house, when she saw that he was bored out of mind, she took him with her.
The Wen Estate was located in the Pure Wood Lane, a secluded alleyway in the southeast of Yujing City.
The lane was mostly filled with a few mansions, all of them were unique and luxurious, it could be seen at a glance that they were the residences of rich and noble families in Yujing City.
After Yun Sheng knocked on the door, a kind-looking old servant came out, upon hearing that Yun Sheng came here to sell medicines, the old servant looked pleased, and asked: "You're the small thing the young master was talking about, aren't you?"
The corners of Yun Sheng's mouth twitched when she heard herself being called 'small thing' again, but for the sake of money, she chose to ignore it.
The Jade Marrow Technique that Yun Sheng practiced was a very gentle internal energy technique, although it could strengthen the body and open the eight mysterious meridians, it was not the same as the martial arts of the Wu JI Continent. The warriors practiced douqi, but in appearance there wasn't much difference.
Yun Sheng was only six-years-old and looked small and skinny, but after staying in Yujing City for a while, she gained some weight and looked pink and cute, also a little older than her actual age. But she was still young, so she was called 'small thing'.
Soon after the old servant went to report, she could hear the sound of urgent footsteps coming from the courtyard.
When Yun Sheng heard the footsteps, she could discern several people rapidly walking to the entrance, and it seemed that there had been other guests in the Wen Estate.
They were a bear-like man, a sorceress that looked like a warrior, and Wen Renhuo who was a hundred times more beautiful than ordinary women. Like a tornado, they rushed to Yun Sheng.
Turns out that for the past month, Wen Renhuo was anxiously waiting for Yun Sheng to appear before his home.
It was a shame that Yun Sheng had delayed the delivery of the medicine because of the Medicine Association and the Medicine Man Assessment, it has been a stressful time for Wen Renhuo.
He also had been beaten up by Feng Kuo and Mu Nan Yan countless times and he had been chastised so many times until he felt suffocated.
Today, when he heard the servant announce that a little girl at the gates was looking for him, he was overjoyed, and was even happier than seeing his lover.
"Small thing! You're here, this young master almost died waiting!" The flowery and delicate face of Wen Renhuo was covered in smiles.
She was just like Wen Renhuo had described her, the girl was not old, she had a pair of dark eyes. The clothes were simple, but looked agile, she was simply lovely.
While Yun Sheng was wondering who the two outsiders were, the most horrifying of the three, the man who looked like a bear, stepped forward.
He stretched out his muscular arm, and without saying a word, wanted to pick up, to take a good look.
Who would have known that he had just leaned forward, and a shadow sprang out from behind Yun Sheng.
It was Xiao Hei who thought that the man was trying to harm Yun Sheng and was defending his master.
With his claws, Xiao Hei attacked Feng Kuo several times.
Unlike when he was just saved by Yun Sheng, Xiao Hei had grown much taller and stronger now, looking like a lively little wolf cub. There were several passersby who took a step back after being frightened by him along the way.
With Feng Kuo's dual-cultivation, he was not a sandbag to simply beat up, he defended his chest and stomach, took one step back, and with his tall body, flew into the air like a feather! After a few steps, his tiger eyes glared, and suddenly rushed forward, and swept his lightning fast legs towards Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei was about to be kicked back by the leg, but he didn't panic, he easily dodged to the side.
"It's actually a Battle Pet!"
Mu Nan Yan and Wen Rehuo were taken aback, and a strange look appeared on Feng Kuo's face.
"Small thing, this is our captain," Wen Renhuo stepped forward to stop both parties.
After Yun Sheng gave a command, Xiao Hei immediately retreated.
"Wait, this little guy can understand you? You can actually communicate with a summoned beast?! Are you a summoner?" Feng Kuo, and the others, immediately recognized the extraordinary relationship between Yun Sheng and Xiao Hei with a glance.
Moreover, Yun Sheng and Xiao Hei had worked well together just now, only a summoner could control a beast so freely!
The three mercenaries looked at Yun Sheng with expectant faces.
"I'm a summoner, but haven't passed the assessment yet, and also Xiao Hei isn't my summoned beast, he is just a Battle Pet, and I can't go to the Summoner Temple," Yun Sheng said while being stared at by the three.
On the Wu Ji Continent, in order to be acknowledged as a summoner, one had to pass a special examination, so Yun Sheng wasn't really a true Summoner.
Her mother Hu Jiushen, had warned Yun Sheng not let anyone know about the fact that she was a summoner, so Yun Sheng didn't go to the Summoner Temple for assessment.
Before Yun Sheng could even finish her words, she felt her body become light, and was picked up by a pair of hands.
Feng Kuo grinned widely and placed Yun Sheng on his shoulder, "Are you worried that after your identity as summoner is revealed, you will be endlessly pestered? Don't worry, with us here, we will naturally hide this matter. Let's go to the Summoner Temple to take your assessment."
It's true that when you want to sleep, someone will send you a pillow. The "Phoenix" Team had just lacked one summoner.
The three of them were so excited that they forgot to ask Yun Sheng, what her real summoned beast was.
