Chapter 421: Gu Nansheng's Generosity
Chapter 421: Gu Nansheng’s Generosity
“Thank you very much for what you did last time . ” Gu Nansheng did not mention the incident of that night, so Feng Tianlan also pretended that it didn’t happen .
“I am also in opposition to Tu Xiupei . ” Gu Nansheng’s gaze lingered over her empty shoulder indifferently . “Where’s your stupid cat?”
Compared to Tu Xiupei, this Feng Tianlan was more pleasing to the eye . As for the incident of that night, she had decided it was nothing worth mentioning .
A smile tugged at the corners of Feng Tianlan’s mouth . “Little Furball is not a cat . ” Must less a stupid cat!
Just as Gu Nansheng was about to say something, she spotted the long queue by the stage . “Ah, the test for newcomer’s list has begun . ”
Feng Tianlan looked in the same direction . The newcomer’s list was a ranking of each year’s new disciples’ spiritual force from the highest to the lowest . The top three would be taken as direct disciples . The next twenty would be taken as inner disciples while the others could only be external disciples .
“For you . ”
Hearing Gu Nansheng speak in an arrogant yet generous tone, Feng Tianlan couldn’t help but frown . She caught sight of a Spiritual Crystal resting on Gu Nansheng’s palm . She looked up at her with slight confusion . “For me?”
“I’ve heard that you are useless . I’m afraid you might be ranked among the last and become an external disciple . If that happens, I wouldn’t be able to use you to piss Tu Xiupei off . Absorb this Spiritual Crystal now and you will get into the top twenties no matter what . When you become an inner disciple, I will guide you personally . ”
Upon hearing Gu Nansheng’s words, Feng Tianlan finally understood what the previous little lady had meant . Despite her arrogance, Eldest Senior Sister was very kind-hearted…

Indeed she was kind-hearted . She even gave Feng Tianlan a rare Spiritual Crystal .
“Take it . I am someone from Yanyue Building, don’t embarrass me . ” Gu Nansheng felt a bit uneasy after being stared at for so long . She forcefully folded the Spiritual Crystal into Feng Tianlan’s hand and gave her a push towards the queue . Then, she left abruptly .
Luo Yunzhu joined the queue behind Feng Tianlan . “Tianlan, what did Eldest Senior Sister give you?”
“Spiritual Crystal . ” Feng Tianlan held up the cold Spiritual Crystal in her hand as she looked around for Gu Nansheng who was now surrounded by many . Her thoughts suddenly turned complicated . Even if she was kind-hearted, she was being overly-kind .
Could she be the same as Lin Shuyin who fawned over her for her own personal motives?
However, it wasn’t exactly like that because Gu Nansheng’s generous attitude was not very likable . Besides, Gu Nansheng had spoken to Feng Tianlan with a straightforward attitude . Even her emotions were written all over her face .
Luo Yunzhu was stunned . “This is too generous . Could she have had a motive?”
Even among the Flying Frost Pavilion, a Spiritual Crystal isn’t a common item . Giving her one would be considered too generous, to the point of disbelief .
Feng Tianlan shook her head slightly and kept the Spiritual Crystal away . She decided to return it after the test .
In a blink of an eye, it was her turn for the spiritual force test . In front of her was a two-meter tall jade tablet, labeled “Newcomer’s List” . Only the top ten names would be shown on the tablet, while the first place would appear to be engraved in gold .
“Write your name on this jade tablet with your spiritual power . Your ranking will be shown after half an hour . ” The person in front handed her a small jade tablet made of a special white jade .

Feng Tianlan took it and wrote her name as requested on the jade tablet with her Fire Element . Her name appeared on its top-left corner .
After Feng Tianlan wrote her name, the person turned to the next-in-line . “Next . ”
Luo Yunzhu finished writing her name in an instant as well . She followed Feng Tianlan, playing with her jade tablet, and exclaimed, “I thought it will be a test similar to the Academy’s but it turned out to be just claiming a jade tablet! There’s even a ranking system . It is so highfalutin, no wonder everyone fights to come in, even as just an external disciple . I really want to know if you will be ranked number one!

Note: Slight edits to early chapters (and removal of one chapter - previously chapter 2) have been made 2/2/21 The city, my city, had once been alive in a way that was hard to describe. Thriving, active, hopeful. Vibrant. But life, as I had come to learn, sometimes possesses only the most tenuous of grasps. Finally, in the end, it became my city - mine alone. I was, after all, the only one left. Worse, it was entirely my fault. There was red in my ledger that could never be wiped clean. Not while I still lived, anyway. This story follows Eran, a man who became the opposite of everything he had ever wanted to be; in a world where superpowers began to appear in a rare few, his lack of control over his own power relegated him to the role of a terrible villain - the Reaper, named so for the countless lives that he absorbed and made his own, each only furthering his deadly lack of control. Gone mad with guilt and isolation, he strove for a single heroic act - his own demise. Death was less permanent than he hoped. Centuries later, he woke to a changed world and in a body not his own. Unfortunately, his power came with him. Yet this time, things would be different. This time, he had a chance to bring it under control. He could never truly make up for the things he had done; he could never achieve redemption. That wouldn't stop him from trying to be a hero. Cover courtesy of the amazing Vitaly S Alexius, author of Romantically Apocalyptic. Go check him out!

Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.
