Shen Yan curled her lips upon hearing what the woman said. If it wasn''t because of her excellent temperament, she wouldugh out loud by now.


    They were the future of the Heavenhold Realm? That was probably the most ridiculous sentence she had ever heard in recent years.


    Everyone knew how cruel the world was. Only a handful of these so-called heavenly geniuses could climb to the top, or perhaps none of them could.


    Shen Yan looked at the woman and said jokingly. "You better disguise yourself well. Otherwise, this small kingdom probably falls into chaos once your identity is exposed."


    The gentle woman in front of her had an astonishing identity. She was the Supreme Elder of the Heavenhold Sect. A woman whose status was only second to the Heavenhold Realm King. Tian Hualing.


    The woman, Tian Hualing,ughed gently. "Don''t worry. I had yed a maidservant role before."


    Twenty minutester, the carriage gradually arrived at the Ximen n manor, and when Shen Yan reported her identity, Ximen Jue and the others hurriedly came out to wee her.


    "Wee to our humble abode, Young Miss Shen." Ximen Jue said politely. "Please forgive us. Our patriarch has an important task to do. He can''te out to greet you personally."


    Shen Yan said with a faint smile. "You''re too polite. I''m here to visit Lin Tian. Can you bring me to see him?"


    Ximen Jue responded readily. "Please."


    Under Ximen Jue''s guidance, Shen Yan, Tian Hualing, and Xu Chang quickly arrived at Yun Lintian''s courtyard.


    At this moment, Yun Lintian was teaching Ning Yue basic swordsmanship in the backyard, with Qin Mei boringly watching them from the side.


    During this period, Yun Lintian rapidly progressed to the second level of the Divine Spirit Realm, which could be considered a miracle. However, Qin Mei felt nothing strange, counting a few billion worth of Divine Stones Yun Lintian absorbed.


    Suddenly, Qin Mei perceived Shen Yan''s aura. She quickly got up from the seat and bowed respectfully. "Young Miss."


    Shen Yan nodded gently and said to Ximen Jue. "You can leave."


    "Understood." Ximen Jue bowed slightly and retreated with Mu Qing.


    "Well done. Let''s take a rest first." Yun Lintian praised Ning Yue as shepleted her thousand times sword swinging.


    Ning Yue wiped the sweat off her forehead and walked back to the table. The arrival of Shen Yan didn''t seem to have anything to do with her.


    Yun Lintian put the wooden sword in his hand on a rack nearby and walked toward Shen Yan. "How is it?"


    At the same time, he noticed the unusual gaze of the gentle woman beside Shen Yan. This woman seemed to seize him up and down as if she wanted to see through his secret.


    Shen Yan shook her head and said. "Unfortunately, Tian Yuhan didn''t agree with my request."


    "Oh?" Yun Lintian was surprised. "Is there another way?"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Don''t be impatient." Shen Yan rolled her eyes at him. "She didn''t agree but didn''t reject entirely either. This is Tian Hualing, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenhold Sect."


    Two days ago, Shen Yan went to the Heavenhold Sect to talk with Tian Yuhan. However, Tian Yuhan disagreed with her request directly, even though she was aware of Shen Yan''s identity.


    To Tian Yuhan, epting a disciple wasn''t a small matter. It was rted to the Heavenhold Realm''s future. She needed to ensure that her disciple was talented and capable enough to inherit her position.


    Since Shen Yan couldn''t tell Tian Yuhan about Yun Lintian''s identity, she naturally had no way to prove that Yun Lintian was more than enough to be Tian Yuhan''s disciple. In the end, Tian Yuhan sent Tian Hualing over to check on Yun Lintian.


    Yun Lintian cupped his fists and greeted Tian Hualing politely. "Junior Lin Tian greets Supreme Elder Tian."


    Tian Hualing smiled gently. "I can see that you''re very strong. No wonder Young Miss Shen wants our Realm King to ept you directly."


    She paused briefly and continued. "It''s not that our Realm King doesn''t give Young Miss Shen''s face; rather, she wants to test your strength first. After all, this is rted to the future of the Heavenhold Realm. I hope you can understand."


    Tian Hualing didn''t know Yun Lintian''s background but could see that he wasn''t ordinary. Otherwise, Shen Yan wouldn''t personally rmend him to Tian Yuhan. Hence, she had to exin the reason carefully to avoid offending him.


    "Please do tell. How do we test it?" Yun Lintian said calmly.


    "Coincidently, there''s an iingpetition here. Our Realm King said as long as you obtain the first ce, she will consider epting you." Tian Hualing said.


    "Competition? Senior means the royal banquet?" Yun Lintian asked.


    "Indeed. It is apetition for a quota to enter our Heavenhold Divine Academy." Tian Hualing exined briefly.


    Yun Lintian frowned slightly. In fact, he didn''t want to participate in such a meaninglesspetition at all. Since Tian Yuhan didn''t want to ept him. He could just find a way himself. In this way, he didn''t have to risk exposing his identity.


    Just as Yun Lintian was about to reject Tian Hualing, Shen Yan suddenly sent a sound transmission to him. "You should ept it. I just got the news that those people have been actively looking for you recently. I don''t know how they got the news about you entering the Divine Realm."


    "The Heavenhold Secret Land is certainly the safest ce for you in this situation. You can stay there until you reach a certain realm, and it won''t be toote toe outter."


    The frown between Yun Lintian''s brows grew deeper upon hearing this. He suddenly thought of the giant golden hand that attacked him on the way to the Heavenhold Realm. Perhaps it was that existence who notified everyone about his arrival?


    "Wouldn''t it be more risky in this way?" Yun Lintian asked through a sound transmission. If he wanted to win thepetition, he needed to expose his strength to a certain extent, which didn''t seem like a good idea.


    Shen Yan curled her lips. "Well, there''s another secret you don''t know about this Heavenhold Realm."


    Yun Lintian looked at her questioningly.


    "The Heavenhold Realm is in a state of shutting itself right now. Anyone whoes and goes has to get permission from Tian Yuhan. So, you don''t have to worry about your identity being exposed in this period." Shen Yan exined. "It''s called Heavenhold for a reason. It can hold a secret."
