Chapter 875: Time passed?

~8 min read 1,401 words

There were many people on the road to the top of the mountain participating in the test, but among these people, those who could successfully enter Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa were probably few and far between.

Bounty hunter was a profession with a very high status on Wuji Island, but those who could truly be respected were always those at the top, that is, bounty hunters rated as special grade.

Ordinary bounty hunters could only take some tasks worth hundreds or thousands of yuan, while those high-level bounty hunters not only had a wider range of choices, but some even required employers to make appointments with them.

Of course, high-priced tasks were also directly proportional to the danger coefficient. Every year, countless bounty hunters rushed to the three major academies, and at the same time, excellent bounty hunters who came out of here died silently.

Xu Tian was actually very interested in the grading of bounty hunters, but his main purpose for coming to Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa this time was not to be promoted, but to find the villa owner and ask him to help him recover his memory.

If the villa owner was willing to help, that would be best. If not, he could only make other plans.

The mountain road wasn't rugged, but climbing it required physical strength.

Xu Tian and Old Zhang walked for a full two hours before they reached the top of the mountain.

Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa was located here, a magnificent and simple Huaxia-style manor.

People who came to the entrance of Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa for the first time would be shocked by the grandeur of the manor, even unable to express it in words.

However, the reception area that should have been welcoming the assessment at the entrance was empty.

Looking forward, the main gate of the manor was locked, and not a single person from Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa appeared.

At the entrance, there were quite a few family high-level members who had brought their children and grandchildren to participate in the assessment. They stood together in twos and threes waiting for the examiner.

Xu Tian found a place where there was no one and walked over with Old Zhang.

Among these wealthy people dressed in luxury, they appeared somewhat out of place.

Even the clothes of the accompanying servants looked more generous than Xu Tian's, not to mention that Xu Tian could disguise himself, making him appear particularly abrupt in front of those arrogant wealthy children.

"This is Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa, not a vegetable market. Why does any kind of person come to join in the fun?" A young man with handsome features and a feminine temperament looked at Xu Tian with disdain and curled his lips.

Xu Tian's face sank. He had disguised himself like this just to avoid attracting attention, but since arriving at the territory of Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa, people who took the initiative to find trouble and mock him hadn't stopped.

Could it be that he offended a villain today?

If he had known, he should have listened to Zhong Yu and gone to the temple to worship first.

"Hey, I'm talking to you! Don't you have any self-knowledge?" The feminine young man saw Xu Tian didn't respond to him, and instead became even more intense. "This is the highest bounty hunter academy on Wuji Island, not a place where trash like you can enter! While the examiner hasn't come out yet, get down the mountain quickly, don't humiliate yourself!"

"Shut up, what kind of thing are you!" Old Zhang couldn't hold back anymore and opened his mouth to reprimand. "How dare you talk to our..."

"Old Zhang." Xu Tian whispered and gave Old Zhang a wink.

His identity couldn't be exposed. If Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa knew he was the leader of the Azure Wolf Hall, even with Yue Moli's recommendation letter, he would probably be kicked out directly.

After all, this Wolf King's reputation on Wuji Island wasn't very good, basically being the target of public criticism.

Xu Tian didn't know why Ding Yi was so keen on attracting hatred, offending almost every force, simply like a big bear child. He even felt that if he really was Ding Yi himself, it would be better not to recover that memory.

"What kind of thing are you?" The feminine young man looked disdainful, his attitude arrogant. "Just say it, see if I'll be afraid of you!"

A loser who wasn't worth more than a million on his body actually dared to pose in front of him—he didn't even look at what kind of virtue he was!

"Alright!" Beside the feminine young man stood a young woman wearing a pure white practice suit.

The woman's appearance was also considered clear and beautiful, but after being accustomed to the peerless beauty of the Thorn Emperor and Yue Moli, Xu Tian only felt her appearance was unremarkable and had no memory points.

"Eldest Miss, such a loser can actually mix in. It's simply lowering the grade of Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa!" The feminine young man was very unconvinced. "After you enroll, you will be classmates with him. How can such a person be worthy of being your classmate?"

"And look at his sneaky appearance. Maybe he's a toad wanting to eat swan meat, pestering you shamelessly..." The feminine man lowered his voice and whispered in the woman's ear.

The young woman glanced at Xu Tian not far away upon hearing this and gave a light hum.

"Do you think he is qualified to enter Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa?"

"That's naturally impossible. Even a person as talented as you, Eldest Miss, didn't pass the test last year. Like that kind of loser, he will never pass!" The feminine young man said disdainfully.

"Not bad. Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa is the head of the bounty hunter academies on Wuji Island. Is it a place where any low-class person can come? Take the people participating in the test this time, there are a full few thousand people, and those who can successfully pass the assessment are no more than a dozen." A middle-aged man beside him said.

The feminine young man glared at Xu Tian with disgust, as if he couldn't tolerate such a person coming to participate in the test.

"Such trash actually dares to come to participate in the test. It's truly not knowing the height of the sky and the depth of the earth. Just based on his demeanor, he isn't even worthy of carrying the shoes of the students inside. But being able to come here to see the world can also let him go back and brag."

Xu Tian frowned slightly, and a look of annoyance appeared in his eyes.

Was this person sick, biting people randomly like a madman?

However, for such a small character who relied on power to bully others, he was too lazy to argue.

It was like a wild dog barking wildly on the side of the road. At most, ignore it; he couldn't learn to bark randomly like that beast.

Seeing Xu Tian being so humiliated by the feminine man yet not saying a word, everyone around shook their heads.

Such a cowardly person still wanted to enter Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa—it was simply daydreaming.

"Strange, why don't they open the door yet."

After waiting for a while, someone started to get anxious.

More and more candidates arrived later. Seeing the crowd gathered in front and the tightly locked manor gate, the expressions on their faces were somewhat restless.

"Those who came before us were let in." Some people guarding the entrance said worriedly, "Could it be that the quota is full, or are we late?"

Those waiting outside didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to discuss loudly. Gradually, the atmosphere around became tense.

"Sir, I'll go to the front to inquire. You wait here for now." Old Zhang greeted Xu Tian and walked through the crowd to the manor entrance.

"No need to wait. The registration time for this assessment has passed. You come back next year."

Just then, a serious-looking man walked out of the manor. He saw Old Zhang walking into the iron gate and reminded him coldly.

"Time passed?" Old Zhang was very surprised. ===== CHAPTER 876 =====
