At this time, the restaurant was bustling with people inside and outside, and it was obvious that many diners had arrived.

"Are you three here for a meal or to stay overnight?" The waiter came up to us warmly. He had a professional smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a bit of shrewdness and competence.

"Open three upper rooms for us, and serve us your restaurant's specialties. We will eat in the lobby."

Li Chenqian replied, his tone revealing an unquestionable majesty.

"Okay! I'll go and take your order right away." The waiter responded and turned away, walking hurriedly towards the kitchen.

Chu Beixuan took out a storage bag from his arms and waved it lightly, and hundreds of medium-grade fairy stones sparkling with a faint luster fell into the hands of the shopkeeper.

"We'll give you 100 medium-grade fairy stones as a deposit first, and we'll return the excess when you leave, or make up the shortfall."

The shopkeeper took the fairy stone, and a hint of surprise and satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

After a quick inventory, he smiled and said, "Okay! The rooms reserved for you three are Room 1, 2, and 3. Here are your room cards, please keep them."

Yang Qiming took the room card, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, let's go sit by the window over there! There's a wide view there, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Ziyan City."

"Okay, let's go sit over there."

Chu Beixuan and Li Chenqian responded. They followed Yang Qiming's footsteps and came to a window seat in the lobby and sat down. This seat was just as Yang Qiming said, with an excellent view, and they could clearly see the prosperous scene outside the window.

Not long after the three of them sat down, they began to hear the discussions of the monks around them. These voices, high or low, far or near, poured into their ears like a tide.

"Have you heard? Zi Yan Academy's admissions examination this year is stricter than ever before!" A cultivator said in a low voice, his eyes revealing a bit of worry and awe.

"That's right... All the inns and restaurants in Ziyan City are full now. I looked for several last night and none of them had rooms available."

Another monk sighed, his tone full of helplessness and regret.

"Alas...it seems that there are indeed quite a few cultivators coming to Zi Yan Academy to take part in the entrance examination this time!" Another cultivator exclaimed, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.

"Fortunately we were fast enough, otherwise the three of us would have had to sleep on the streets."

Li Chenqian wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled. His eyes revealed a bit of determination and expectation, and he was obviously full of confidence in the upcoming assessment.

"Yes! For these two days! We will practice well here and adjust our condition to ensure that we can perform at our best during the assessment." Yang Qiming took over the conversation, his tone showing both nervousness about the unknown and desire for challenges.

Chu Beixuan seemed relatively silent. He nodded slightly, his eyes wandering around the restaurant, as if looking for something.

Suddenly, he frowned, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart. "I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell what it is..."

He thought to himself, but then shook his head and put these distracting thoughts behind him.

At this moment, a gentle voice interrupted their thoughts: "Hello, three gentlemen, can I share a table with you? There are no seats left in this restaurant."

Following the sound, they saw a handsome young man in a green shirt looking at them with a smile. He was Gu Yuxuan.

Li Chenqian and Yang Qiming looked at each other and then expressed their welcome generously.
