Long Road to Stardom

"Brother Chen, I want to give it a try." Lin Xing said with a determined look.

Chen Ming looked at Lin Xing's face and said gently, "Then do you want to go to the city with me tomorrow? Su Qing and Yang Li's parents have found clues. I plan to take them to the government office tomorrow."

Lin Xing was slightly stunned. They had agreed today to go play by the river together when they were free, but they didn't expect to be separated just after one night. Even though children were annoying, it was still hard not to feel sad about the sudden separation.

Thinking of this, Lin Xing suggested that they go to the city together tomorrow and send them off at the same time.

Chen Ming smiled slightly, "Then go to bed quickly and go to the city early tomorrow morning."

Lin Xing pulled Su Qing to a bed. She decided to sleep with Su Qing at night, otherwise she didn't know when they would see each other again.

I saw Yang Li and Lei Hongyu whispering something not far away.

It seems that tomorrow's separation will still be a bit sad.

From now on, there will only be three of them left: she, Lei Hongyu, and Brother Chen. If their spiritual roots are tested during the Immortal Fate Conference, they may have to separate again.

Lin Xing was a little confused for a moment. After her grandmother passed away in the future, she had been alone all the time and could not find her biological parents. However, she did not want to look for them. What was the point of looking for them since she was abandoned?

She remembered that her grandmother once told her that the stars in the sky were particularly bright on the day she was picked up, illuminating the dark night as if it were day, so she named her with the word "star".

Lin Xing sighed, wondering why she suddenly recalled the past. If she found out that her spiritual roots were capable of cultivating immortality, she wondered if she could revive her grandmother. She really missed her.

She turned her head and saw Su Qing beside her had fallen asleep. She touched her little face and then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Lin Xing and his friends were woken up by Brother Chen. Each of them ate a steamed bun and walked towards the city.

It was still dark and there were not many people on the road. When I walked outside the city wall, the sky was just getting light and I could actually see the sunrise shining on the city wall, like a ray of golden light, which was extremely beautiful.

Lin Xing saw such a beautiful scenery early in the morning, and his mood instantly improved a lot.

As we walked into the city, we saw many vendors hawking their wares on the streets. Some of the shops nearby had just opened, while others were still closed. I didn't know if they were not doing business in the morning.

People were coming and going on the street, wearing all kinds of clothes, which made Lin Xing dazzled.

Every time he passed by a food stall, Lin Xing would subconsciously swallow his saliva. The aroma coming from the stall was so fragrant that it made his stomach, which had just eaten, start to growl again.

Lin Xing looked at the other people, and they were not much different from her, especially Lei Hongyu, who almost fixed his eyes there and did not move away until they walked away.

Before they knew it, they arrived at the gate of the yamen. Brother Chen asked Lin Xing and Lei Hongyu to wait for him at the gate for a while.

After saying that, he took Su Qing and Yang Li into the yamen.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xing saw Brother Chen walking out of the yamen with a purse in his hand. He didn't know what was in it, but seeing how happy he looked, it must be a good thing.

Brother Chen came over to them and said, "Come on, I'll take you to buy some pancakes."

Lin Xing raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the purse was filled with reward money. Otherwise, where would they get the extra money to buy pancakes? It was good enough to be able to have enough food and clothing. After all, the two of them were too young to find a job, so they could only rely on Brother Chen to do odd jobs to support them every day.

If she didn't have spiritual roots, she would have to find something to support herself, otherwise she would feel guilty. It was not her style to always rely on others.

Lin Xing and Lei Hongyu followed Brother Chen to a pancake stall and watched Brother Chen buy three pancakes and give one to each of them.

She took the pancake and was conquered by its taste as soon as she took a bite. She didn't know if it was because she hadn't eaten fried food for too long, but she felt that this pancake tasted better than any other time she had eaten before.

I finished the pancake in my hand without realizing it, and when I looked at Brother Chen and Lei Hongyu, the pancakes in their hands were long gone.

It seems that everyone is the same. Food is really a good thing. I originally had some sadness about parting, but it was completely forgotten in an instant.

Lin Xing, Brother Chen and Lei Hongyu strolled on the street for a while and passed by a steamed bun shop. Brother Chen bought some steamed buns from the shop and took them back to the dilapidated temple.

Although it didn't take long to go back and forth, Lin Xing still felt a little tired and lay down on his bed to rest.

Not long after I lay down, I fell asleep.

Three days later, Lin Xing woke up early. Seeing that Brother Chen and Lei Hongyu had already washed up, she quickly got up from the bed and casually tied her hair into a ponytail. Although she wanted to do another hairstyle, this was the only one she knew.

After washing up, I ate the food prepared by Brother Chen.

After seeing Lin Xing and Lei Hongyu finish their breakfast, Chen Ming simply cleaned up the dishes and took them into the city.

There are a lot more people going to the city today than in the past few days, and most of them are adults bringing their children.

In less than a moment, the three of them walked outside the city wall. There was no change from when they came a few days ago, but there were several times more guards.

Entering the city, the three of them followed the crowd towards the square in front of the palace gate. Common people were not allowed to come here, and they could only come here once every ten years.

Not long after the three of them entered the city, they had to stop. The line stretched from the square outside the palace to this side.

As time passed, the number of people in the city not only did not decrease but increased, making it particularly crowded. However, the three of them were standing in the testing queue and did not feel crowded.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Lin Xing vaguely saw the square outside the palace. The square was heavily guarded on all sides. There seemed to be a few tables in the middle, and behind each table sat a man in a blue robe, but it was too far away to see what he looked like.

Nearly two hours later, I finally saw the square in front of the palace gate clearly. There were five tables in the middle, and behind each table sat a young man in a blue robe, who looked to be around twenty years old.

Sitting in the middle was a man in a white robe. His clothes looked more advanced than those of the other men, and he seemed older than the other men. Lin Xing guessed that he was over 30 years old. However, every man looked handsome and his skin was extremely good. This should be the effect of cultivating immortals.

Lin Xing looked at him with envy.

After waiting for a while, it was finally their turn.

She followed the person in front of her and walked to a table, placing her hand on something that looked like a magnified glass ball on the table.

Lin Xing suddenly became afraid to look, not sure if he was afraid that he had no spiritual roots or something.
