Selection Grounds

Zhao Shouted loudly.

"Han Yan, wake up."

"Today is the selections day. You are going to late"

Han Yan woke up from the shouts made by Zhao Shu. Han Yan's face is a little pale. His eyes are dim and looked like dead fish eyes.

Seeing Han Yan's condition. Zhao Shu looked worried.

"He was in a deep sleep until now. But why is he looking like this?"

"Is he worried to death and became crazy to sleep like that."Thought Zhao Shu.

"Han yan are you okay"

"You are looking pale today"

Han yan looked at Zhao Shu and remembered that today is the selections day.

"How much time is there for the selections," asked Han Yan.

"There is not much time we have for the selections." said Zhao Shu.

"Then let us go now."

"Wait. Are you coming like this?"

"Why? Should I not."

"Not that, but you are looking pale and pretty worn out today. You might make a poor impression in the selections."

"It's okay. I am not worried about it"

Suddenly a sound came from Han Yan's stomach.

"Grrrr…"

Zhao Shu looked at Han Yan's stomach. Which made Han Yan pretty embarrassed.

Han Yan quickly took a fasting pill from a pill bottle and swallowed it.

"Brother Zhao. We should hurry for the selections." Han Yan diverted Zhao Shu since he did not want to talk about it.

Zhao Shu nodded his head.

"We will go now"

Zhao Shu took Han yan and went to Outer Sect Gate. Then they both went to the sect stables.

*****

In the sect stable. A thin man callow man, who is 23 years? He was 5.7 feet tall, wearing normal clothes. He is nursing a stallion demon horse. Which is pregnant? His name is Lui Ken. He always admired heroic figures. In the cultivation world, only the strong people are admired by the people. They are like celebrities in our world.

Lui Ken joined Silent breeze sect as a stable worker because he can see them once in a while. Even though we wanted to do more. He can't because Lui Ken has no cultivation meridians. Therefore, he found a job in the sect's stable.

But later he found his job enjoyable. Taking care for horses and giving them food. Also, nursing them once in a while and taking care for them.

Xiao is the stallion demon horse, which Lui Ken has cared since he started working here. He is tenderly taking care for it since it was pregnant. It will take another 2 days for Xiao to give birth to a baby.

After nursing Xiao. Lui ken walked to the stable manager to report.

Zhao Shu and Han Yan are walking towards sect's stable to get a carriage to go to selections ground.

Zhao Shu entered the stable management hall. Where horses and carriages of the sect are used by the disciples under registry.

Lui Ken has just reported to the stable manager. When he was about to leave. He spotted Zhao Shu walking with another young man. Who is not a disciple of Silent Breeze Sect?

Lui Ken has always admired heroic figures. Zhao Shu is the young rising star of the Silent Breeze Sect. He is a genius. He is a genius fighter and studying alchemy under Elder Lin. Who is an experience alchemist.

Lui Ken admired Zhao Shu long before he became an elder's disciple. He saw Zhao Shu climbing steps of the sect with his own eyes. After seeing Zhao Shu. Lui Ken stopped walking and saw Zhao Shu from head to bottom.

Zhao Shu looked at Lui Ken and smiled at him. Which made Lui Ken heart fill with immense joy that will last for lifelong.

Zhao Shu went towards the stable manager.

"Manager Yang, get me a horse carriage and a driver. One that knows that way to the selections grounds."

Manager Yang stood up from his seat and welcomed Zhao Shu with a bow.

"Young master Zhao, wait a minute. I will arrange it for you."

Manager Yang quickly took a paper sheet and checked it. This paper has all the registers of carriages and horses that are in the sect and went out.

"Young master Zhao. We have a carriage, but we don't have a driver to ride it."

Just as Manager Yang has said it. Lui Ken hurriedly said.

"Manager, I can drive. I even know the way like back of my hand."

Manager Yang, Zhao Shu and Han yan looked at Lui Ken. Who said that.

Seeing all of them looking at him. Lui Ken spoke politely while looking nervous.

"Young master Zhao, I was just hoping to watch the selections. It was a coincident."

Zhao Shu smiled at Lui Ken and said to Manager Yang.

"Manager Yang, it seems we have a driver now."

"Get the carriage done fast. We have to hurry"

Manager Yang was dumbstruck by Lui Ken and loss of words.

"Ugh… Yes, I get it ready now"

"Lui Ken, it was carriage No.14 in the stable. Go there and get it."

"Yes, Manager," said Lui Ken hurriedly as if he will lose this chance.

Lui Ken rushed to the stable and quickly came with the carriage.

Zhao Shu and Han Yan astonished at Lui Ken's enthusiasm.

Han Yan and Zhao Shu went in the carriage and took off.

Zhao Shu said to Lui ken. Who is whipping with one hand and another on the rope.

"Lui Ken go as fast as you can. Brother Han is taking part in the selections. We need to report early to the registrar of the selections."

Lui Ken looked at Han Yan. Who is looking like a sick person with dead eyes and pale face. He conflicted and decided to not ask further.

"Yes, Young Master."

After some time. They stopped at a place where it is more crowded. It is the selections ground. It looked like stadium from the outside. Where all the participants are to be reported. All foundation realm cultivators are allowed to take part in the selections.

Lui Ken spoke.

"Young master, we have arrived at the selections grounds."

"Okay, come after parking the carriage. I will go with brother Han."

"Yes, Young master Zhao."

Lui ken whipped the horses and took the horse carriage to the parking area.

Han yan and Zhao Shu walked to the Selections ground.

Zhao Shu looked around and pointed at a guard who is wearing royal guards armour.

Before that royal guard is a big line created by people with different appearances.

"Brother Han, that is where you should report as a participant in the selections."

" And this is where I take my leave, Brother Han."

"You are on your own from now on." said Zhao Shu.

"I know. Thank you, Brother Zhao." said Han Yan with a bow.

Zhao Shu smiled and went to the audience gate.
