76 Chapter 76- Golden Bed
"Sponsor?"…
"Ah, forgive me… I forgot to mention that even if one passed the entrance test and gets selected, they would be rejected in the final admission process if they do not have a sponsor. To become a disciple in the holy orchard academy, one doesn't just need aptitude and talent but one also needs to come from a recognised clan, group, factions or be sponsored by any organisation that has some reputation around this region".
"Fortunately, my Lin clan is amongst one of them and has some reputation in the Cloud city. We can sponsor mister Yang Yan if he wishes to take the entrance test"
Lin Mang declared assertively. For the Lin clan, a sponsee like Yang Chen who was a bonafide Battle Master at such a young age and who could hunt demonic beasts like the black barghest, were to participate in this entrance test from their side, it would definitely increase their reputation and fame around this region.
It was a win win situation for both the party. He did not think that Yang Chen would fail the test since he had already seen the capability of the latter with his own eyes. Heck, a genius like Yang Chen might even become the star candidate among this year's batch and later go on to become an inner academy disciple.
If that happened, then they the Lin clan who sponsored him, would receive immense benefits in return. At that time, it wouldn't be difficult for them to replace the Zhang clan and become the head of the Cloud city.
The Lin, Xiao and the Zhang clan might be called the three prominent clans of the Cloud city; however, the reality was different. There was a large difference between the other two clans and the Zhang clan.
If asked who is stronger and the real overlord of this city, all the inhabitants of the city would no doubt point at the Zhang clan.
The three clans do not have a very good relationship with each other and view the other as a threat. Especially the Zhang clan who was using all kinds of underhanded methods to absorb the other two clans into it.
For the Lin clan, a sponsee like Yang Yan might be what they need, the opportunity they had been looking for all this time to turn the tables.
"So that's how it was, you need a sponsor to get inside the academy huh" Yang Chen mused, he fell silent for a couple of seconds before replying.
"Elder Lin Mang said that there is still a week before the entrance test right? In that case, I need some time to think about it".
"Of course, a decision like that cannot be rushed. Mister Yang Yan can take his time but you need to give me an answer two days before the entrance test since we need to give the examiner your application"
"Since our business is done here, I will take my leave." Yang Chen got up to leave when suddenly he remembered that he had something else he wanted to ask Lin Mang.
"Ah! Elder Lin Mang do you know any good inns in this city that serve delicious meals?".
"Eh?" Lin Mang made a surprised face "By any chance mister Yang Yan hasn't decided on an inn yet? Then by all means I recommend the Golden Bed, it's one of my Lin clan's establishments. The food there would definitely not disappoint you" he asserted.
After exiting the establishment, Yang Chen first roamed the commercial district and made himself familiarised with the roads.
He might have memories of the previous owner of this body, but looking at the market with his own eyes was different from recalling the memories.
The market was just like he remembered, booming with people. Today especially, there was greater traffic of crowd because of the monthly Bazaar.
Yang Chen roamed around the marketplace looking at various wares and establishments. He was no longer broke as before, there were two hundred and fifty gold profound stones sitting inside his ring.
This could be considered a large amount of sum in this city where most of the normal and day to day things could be purchased using just bronze profound stones. It was a sum, that the previous owner of the body wouldn't even dream about possessing one day.
However, to Yang Chen who was from a rich family in his previous life, it couldn't be considered much. Nevertheless, it was enough to buy him whatever materialistic things he wanted in this city.
Yang Chen roamed the streets and soon found himself in front of a classy looking establishment with two words written in big golden letters 'Golden Bed'.
Unknowingly, he had arrived in front of the inn the Lin clan managed.
"Well, since I have already established a relationship with the Lin clan, might as well stay in their inn".
The attitude of Lin Mang was quite good towards him, hence there was no reason not to use their establishment. Yang Chen entered the building and walked towards the receptionist's desk where a middle aged person was sitting reading a paper.
"Ahem, I would like to book a room" he coughed once to get the other person's attention.
"Hm?" the middle aged man gave him a glance over before speaking "The rooms here are all above 50 bronze profound stones per night, food included. You have to pay upfront".
"That not a problem, I would like to book one room for a week as for the food, bring all kinds of it to my room" Yang Chen replied.
The middle aged man stopped reading the paper in his hand, took out an abacus from the shelf of the desk and started calculating.
"That would be three hundred fifty bronze profound stones or three silver and fifty bronze stones profound stones. Pay up now" The attitude of the middle aged man was a little harsh towards him.
However, it couldn't be blamed since Yang Chen wore a long robe and covered his face with a mask. His attire looked quite cheapjack.
