When Qin Tian heard Leng Yu’s words, his heart inexplicably tightened.

Usually, right after the graduation tournament, various teams or organizations would express their interest to the East Han Academy in recruiting individuals.

Typically, this information wouldn’t be known until the next day, yet unexpectedly, this time the results came out in the evening.

”Congratulations, you’ve been selected by the Soul Suppressing Hall. I never expected it—even though you placed second, you became the only newcomer recruited by the Soul Suppressing Hall from our cohort. Qin Tian, I truly have to look at you with new eyes.”

On Leng Yu’s face was an expression of admiration for Qin Tian.

Of course, her expression also radiated happiness, evidently feeling pleased for Qin Tian and also for the Dragon Clan.

After all, Qin Tian’s entry into the Soul Suppressing Hall was a major boon for the Dragon Clan.

”Haha, really? I lost in the finals, and the Soul Suppressing Hall didn’t choose Cao Dong but chose me?”

At this moment, Qin Tian intentionally put on a surprised expression, while in his heart, he was extremely displeased, hoping that Leng Yu’s information wasn’t true.

”I find it strange too, but isn’t it a good thing that the Soul Suppressing Hall chose you? Why do I feel you’re somewhat unhappy?”

Leng Yu was adept at reading people’s expressions, and especially since Qin Tian’s demeanor at that moment wasn’t of excitement, she quickly noticed and said, ”Qin Tian, this is a big deal, a great thing, you should be happy, we should all be happy.”

”Yeah, I didn’t say I wasn’t happy. How about this, why don’t you treat me to a midnight snack tonight?” Qin Tian smiled faintly.

”Come off it, I can tell you’re not in the mood for a midnight snack. Go back and rest well, once your position is truly confirmed, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Leng Yu gave Qin Tian a cheerful smile before promptly leaving.

Qin Tian watched her departing, somewhat joyous figure, but at this moment, he couldn’t be joyful himself—

The Soul Suppressing Hall, the Soul Suppressing Hall actually chose him?!

Qin Tian could hardly believe hearing such news, his face could only show a bitter smile as he murmured to himself, ”If I had known this was the result, I wouldn’t have exerted myself so much on the finals stage, haha.”

At night, Qin Tian struggled to fall asleep, as the matter of being selected by the Soul Suppressing Hall left him downright agitated.

But now, he essentially had no choice in the matter, nor any room to decline. If this was indeed the fact, even if he was unwilling a thousand times over, he had no option but to accept.

What Qin Tian didn’t expect was that the next day Xu Junwei also arranged to meet him at Ming Yue Restaurant.

What Xu Junwei said was almost identical to Leng Yu’s words: ”According to the list I’ve received, the results of recruitment from all places are out. Congratulations, Lonely Wolf, you’ve accomplished what I thought was an impossible task.”

”Next, what you need to do is stand firm within the Soul Suppressing Hall, lay low, and wait for the right opportunity.”

Xu Junwei not only congratulated Qin Tian but also assigned him the task of lying low.

Throughout, Qin Tian maintained a faint smile, but inside, a myriad of wild horses galloped across his mind,

The following few days, Qin Tian spent in a funk, until the fourth day when Murong Fei and Nangong Bingfeng returned.

Murong Fei and Nangong Bingfeng both returned from their tribulation crossing, and received a warm welcome from the upper echelons of the East Han Academy.

Qin Tian promptly sought out Murong Fei to tell her about being selected by the Soul Suppressing Hall.

Murong Fei, not knowing about Qin Tian’s identity as Long Yin, was also very displeased upon hearing of Qin Tian’s selection: ”You going to the Soul Suppressing Hall, how will you then get promoted, how will you marry me? People from the Soul Suppressing Hall are all ruthless, our Murong Family would never allow someone from the Soul Suppressing Hall to marry my Qin Tian.”

”What can I do? I lost the finals, yet the Soul Suppressing Hall still picked me, alas, Murong, it seems you must brace yourself to wait a few more years.”

”No, I cannot wait too long; I’m afraid, afraid that waiting too long will become forever... I don’t want it to be forever... Since the Soul Suppressing Hall is being unruly, then fine, I will find a way, Qin Tian, I will find a way to keep you from going to the Soul Suppressing Hall, no matter the cost.”

Murong Fei looked at Qin Tian, her gaze unwaveringly determined.

As Qin Tian touched Murong Fei’s cheek, he sincerely said, ”Rest assured, no matter where I am, my promise to marry you will never change.”

...

Three days after meeting Murong Fei, Qin Tian received news that the selection results from various places had been announced and posted.

Qin Tian rushed to the bulletin board, and at first glance saw his name prominently listed at the top—

”Class Three, Qin Tian, temporary selection for the Soul Suppressing Hall.”

Being selected for the Soul Suppressing Hall is an enviable achievement for everyone, yet Qin Tian wasn’t happy; he disliked the feeling of his destiny being manipulated by others.

However, upon seeing the words ”temporary selection” next to his name on the bulletin board, he curiously wondered why East Han Academy would add ”temporary” when the list had been released; logically, it shouldn’t be labeled temporary. None of the names on the list were marked temporary, only Qin Tian’s name was.

”Heh, Qin Tian, don’t celebrate too early, a defeated competitor, who was actually noticed by the Soul Suppressing Hall, what a stroke of undeserved fortune!”

As Qin Tian gazed somewhat disappointedly at the list, Cao Dong, who was also looking at the list behind him, began to mock him mercilessly.

”Don’t think your position is secure, see those words, ’temporary selection’? Heh, it’s only temporary; you’re not qualified to become part of the Soul Suppressing Hall yet!”

Cao Dong spoke confidently, and Qin Tian, looking at him, smiled, ”I’m not qualified, then who is? Is it you?”

”Don’t laugh at me, I’m telling you, it’s not me, but someone else! Just wait and see!”

Frustrated, Cao Dong turned and left as he spoke!

Qin Tian stood there in a daze.

After being mocked by Cao Dong, Qin Tian wasn’t angry, but rather glad.

He detected another implication in Cao Dong’s tone, which was hope!

No wonder there were the words ”temporary selection” next to his name; turns out someone didn’t want him in the Soul Suppressing Hall.

But who could that be?

”This person even dared to oppose the decision of both the East Han Academy and the Soul Suppressing Hall, must be some big shot from East Capital City.”

Qin Tian started scratching his head, ”Who in our class has a big shot in their family? If they didn’t want me in, they should’ve stopped me before; could it be they didn’t realize earlier on?”

Upon saying this, Qin Tian’s eyes suddenly lit up with excitement and he exclaimed, ”That means the one trying to stop me from joining the Soul Suppressing Hall could only be him, Nangong Bingfeng!”

”Nangong Bingfeng returned only after the tournament, coupled with the fact that this year the Soul Suppressing Hall unusually chose to publicly recruit just one person, the Nangong Family likely doesn’t want to miss this chance and thus might’ve managed to interfere with the posting by East Han Academy…”
