Chapter 108: Teammate, Yuan Si!

The four of them soon arrived in the reception hall.

The staff member spotted Lin Han at once and hurried over. “Mr. Lin, you’re finally here. Manager Tian has been wondering all this time why you hadn’t come by yet. At last, we’ve been able to wait for you.”

The enthusiasm caught Lin Han off guard. He still remembered that back then, Manager Tian had given him an invitation coupon, only for him to forget all about it while he was focused on obtaining the Source of Calamity.

He had not expected them to still remember him.

“Is Manager Tian here?”

“I’m terribly sorry, Mr. Lin. Manager Tian is away on a business trip today and hasn’t returned yet, but he should be back soon.” The staff member checked the time, then asked, “Would you like to wait for Manager Tian?”

“If he’s not here, then it’s fine.”

Lin Han was only being polite. After all, he was not that familiar with Manager Tian yet. “Help us register. We’re here to take on this instance.”

“Of course.”

The staff member took the admission ticket, which was precisely the golden trial arena pass issued back during the academy entrance exam.

“Oh, right, Mr. Lin. This trial requires five people in total. Of course, it can begin with fewer, but there happens to be another gentleman who has also reserved this instance today. Would it be all right if he joined you?”

Lin Han did not mind having one more person. After all, Manager Tian had given him so many things before.

“That’s fine.”

Hearing that, the staff member smiled. “Then please, the four distinguished guests can register here with me first.”

“The golden instance requires a review of overall strength before entry, so please fill out these forms. We need to verify your qualifications. If your overall strength is too low, you won’t be allowed in.”

Lin Han was the first to step forward. He wrote his name and level on the form, and the camera began its verification.

“Mr. Lin Han, third-tier Sanctum Priest.”

The others stepped forward one after another.

“Mr. Wang Qiang, second-tier Card Master.”

“Miss Liu Yunyun, second-tier Healing Spiritist.”

...

By the time Feihua stepped up, Lin Han finally realized something was wrong.

There was identity verification here. If Feihua went up and registered honestly, wouldn’t that cause serious trouble?

Yet Feihua calmly walked over, wrote down her identity information in the little booklet, and then submitted it for verification.

“Miss Jiang Ruixin, third-tier Shapeshifting Assassin.”

Feihua walked back to Lin Han with complete composure. “Nervous?”

Lin Han frowned. “This is face recognition. How did you do that? Don’t tell me your real name is actually Jiang Ruixin? Then what is Feihua?”

Feihua said calmly, “Of course that isn’t my real identity. It’s my younger sister’s.”

“Your younger sister?”

“Of course. My sister should be about your age. She also awakened this year and took part in the academy entrance exam. We’re twins, so naturally I can make use of it.”

“With a little adjustment to the face, it’s easy enough. After all, she’s my sister. I’m quite confident in my disguise.”

This was something Lin Han had not expected. He said, “You said your sister is the same age as me, and she’s already a third-tier Shapeshifting Assassin in such a short time? Her talent is terrifying.”

“Terrifying?” Feihua sighed. “At the time my elder sister had already reached fourth tier by this point. Even now, there are still legends about her in the Five Great Academies.”

“If you can get into the Five Great Academies, you’ll hear some of them sooner or later.”

“Still, before I met you, I really did think my own talent was frightening enough. Even my sister would count as a prodigy.”

“Compared to you, though, it’s like we’re just playing house.”

“Lin Han, third-tier Sanctum Priest. A priest reaching third tier in such a short time has far more value than my fourth tier.”

“Don’t keep showing off in front of us.”

Feihua’s tone was full of helplessness.

Lin Han said, “It’s all just luck on my side. Compared to all of you who fight on the front line, my little bit doesn’t amount to much.”

“Well, that’s true.” Feihua felt much better.

“But your sister’s surname is Jiang. Surely you can’t really be called Feihua, can you? Don’t tell me your name is Jiang Feihua?”

“Of course not. I’m definitely Jiang, and I’m not called Jiang Feihua either! My sister has such an elegant name. Do you think mine would be that plain?”

Feihua said irritably.

“You won’t even tell me what your real name is. How am I supposed to guess? That’s the only thing I can think of,” Lin Han said helplessly.

“Feihua is only my code name.”

Feihua explained, “You’ll know my real name someday. Everyone else only knows my code name. No one knows my actual name.”

“But if you ever get the chance to rise into the Five Great Academies, you’ll still have the chance to hear my legend.”

Hearing that, Lin Han lost interest.

“Then as long as the only thing I hear after entering the Five Great Academies isn’t your infamous reputation, that’ll do.”

“Relax. I’ll definitely shock you!”

Just as the two were talking, a man with his hands in his pockets slowly walked over. When he saw Lin Han’s face, he froze on the spot.

“L-Lin Han, why are you here?”

“Huh? And you are?”

“Yuan Si!”

Lin Han recognized him immediately. He was the same Yuan Si who had been stunned by a few punches from him during the earlier sparring match.

At that moment, he even wondered whether this place had some kind of grudge against him. Last time he came, he had run into Gao Chong, that annoying fellow. This time, he had run into Yuan Si.

Radiant Moon City really was small...

“What, you’re here to farm the instance too?” Lin Han asked.

Yuan Si replied, “What else would I be here for if not to farm the instance?”

“Oh. Then go register. Why are you talking to me?”

“I know...”

The two of them quickly ended a very unpleasant conversation. Feihua lowered her voice and said, “An enemy of yours? Want me to take him out?”

“Not exactly my enemy. I’d say I’m more like his enemy. I think I left him with a psychological shadow during the academy entrance exam. When he chose a school in the end, he even had to avoid picking one where he’d run into me.”

Lin Han was somewhat helpless. Back then, he had indeed intended to avenge Wang Qiang, so his strikes had been a little heavy.

But aside from that, there really had not been any other conflict between him and Yuan Si.

“Mr. Yuan Si, second-tier Shadow Assassin.”

“The strength of all five distinguished guests fully meets the requirements for participating in the golden instance. I’ll open the teleportation array for you now. Wishing you all a pleasant run.”

“Five guests? Where are the other four?” Yuan Si looked at the staff member in confusion.

The staff member said warmly, “They’re Mr. Lin Han, whom you just greeted, and his three friends.”

“...”

“...”

“Lin Han?!”

“Can we still switch teams now? I really don’t want to be with this jinx!”

“Yuan Si, the way you say that makes it sound like I’m eager to team up with you.”

“Sir, the teleportation array has already been opened. It cannot be changed.”
