After moving into Ningyuan City, Shen Jiayu and Qiu Ershi were placed in a remote courtyard, waiting for the main force to gather.

The two of them were the first to arrive in Ningyuan City, and gathered together one after another before dark. Lingfeng, Wen Xiangzhu's subordinate, came into the courtyard, with an endless coldness in his pair of dark eyes.

Everyone bowed to Ling Feng in unison, saying in unison, "Greetings, Master Ling Feng!"

Ling Feng said calmly: "Yes, everyone survived."

"From now on, this will be your new training ground. There will be a new assessment in half a month. Only ten of you can stay with Master Hanshan." Ling Feng said indifferently, secretly observing the expressions of others, and then said, "The rest of you don't have to worry. You will have a good place to go."

Those who could stand in the courtyard had survived by fighting on their own. Even though this time the selection mode was still cruel, they dared not make any protest because their protest was invalid.

Except Shen Jiayu, of course.

Of course she didn't dare to resist, or even show any expression on her face, for fear that people would discover that the original owner's core had been replaced.

Lingfeng chuckled and walked to the door and leaned against it. The aura around him changed and he stared straight at Shen Jiayu and Qiu Ershi, which made Shen Jiayu feel creepy.

"You, and you, come out." Lingfeng raised his chin slightly and pointed at Shen Jiayu and Qiu Ershi.

Naturally, they stood up obediently.

Shen Jiayu's whole body was tense, and he kept muttering in his heart, please, don't do anything weird, just let me go!

Ling Feng walked forward, leaning slightly closer, looking Shen Jiayu up and down, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved up, "Qiu Shijiu? No, I should call you Shen Jiayu, right?"

Although the question seemed casual, Shen Jiayu felt that she was in great trouble. As far as she could remember, she had only told Song Qinghong about it when she was recuperating. She didn't dare to speak at other times, let alone say her real name.

Unless someone heard it and told Ling Feng at that time, it means that Wen Xiangzhu also knew it.

Shen Jiayu gritted his teeth and explained, "Yes, but I will always be Qiu Shijiu, a member of the Qiongling Pavilion. I just said this name casually to get closer to Miss Song. Master Lingfeng doesn't have to take it seriously."

Ling Feng laughed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "You are wrong, I must take it seriously. You are lucky to meet the young master when you came to Ningyuan City this time. You have a good name, and you can help the young master. From now on, Shen Jiayu will be your name. Others can also give themselves names. In Ningyuan City or other places, it will be easier to do things with a decent name."

"Shen Jiayu, you should take good care of your injuries these days and go find that girl when you have time. This is your mission, do you understand?"

Shen Jiayu was sweating profusely. Ling Feng's words made her feel more at ease. She nodded and said, "Yes, I will complete the task well."

Lingfeng swept his eyes from Shen Jiayu's face to Qiu Ershi, and Qiu Ershi just stared at Lingfeng, not avoiding his eyes when they met. Lingfeng nodded with satisfaction.

"Qiu Twenty, you and Shen Jiayu are in the same team, so you will take her last name. You can decide what to call yourself. You will be her elder brother from now on." Lingfeng raised his eyebrows and continued, "After everyone has thought of a name, write down the name, gender and rank on a piece of paper. Place it on the round table under the locust tree in the courtyard before sunrise tomorrow, and someone will come to pick it up."

"Yes!" Twenty people responded in unison, their voices as loud as a bell.

Shen Jiayu is not the only woman here. Among the twenty people who came to Ningyuan City, nine are women. They have different personalities and are not easy to get along with.

Shen Jiayu was only familiar with Qiu Ershi. In order to avoid exposing himself by talking to others, he just stood there quietly and stared at Qiu Ershi.

"Why are you looking at me? Have you thought of a name?" Shen Jiayu saw that everyone else had started talking about names, but Qiu Ershi just looked at her and asked curiously.

Qiu Ershi looked at Shen Jiayu with an evasive look, then looked at the others, hesitating for a long time before saying, "I'm not very literate, so I can't think of a good name. Can you help me think of one?"

This was the first time Shen Jiayu saw the word "honest" on Qiu Ershi's face. They had been traveling together for five days and they had never had a good conversation. She thought Qiu Ershi was a bit cute.

Shen Jiayu smiled and said, "It's okay. I know more words. Hmm...how about you call yourself Shen Qinghe? I see that you like to look at the mountains and rivers when you pass by the mountains and forests, and you also like to look at the rice seedlings of the people. I think this name suits you very well."

He is a simple-looking man, but he looks slim. If he were a little stronger, he would look wild, and if he were a little thinner, he would look weak. He is just the right way he is now.

Qiu Ershi's eyes lit up, "I like the name Shen Qinghe, thank you."

Although Shen Qinghe did not have these words in his mind, he felt comfortable hearing this name. Lord Lingfeng also said that he would be Shen Jiayu's brother in the future, and this name also matched her name.

Shen Jiayu was naturally happy to see that he liked her. She felt like she had a family in this strange world. It was very subtle, but she was very content.

"Lord Lingfeng said that you will be my brother from now on, but I'm not used to it yet. I need some time to adapt. Let's go write our names first." Shen Jiayu felt very relaxed for some reason, and his voice became much lighter.

Shen Qinghe nodded and followed Shen Jiayu into the crowd.

Shen Jiayu curiously leaned forward to take a look at the paper someone else was writing on, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she couldn't see clearly. She leaned forward to take a few more glances, pursed her lips and smiled secretly, only to see a bunch of scribbles on the paper, with no characters at all. She really couldn't help laughing.

It turns out that ancient people’s handwriting was also so ugly, not even as good as hers.

Soon, Shen Jiayu couldn't laugh anymore, because Shen Qinghe stood beside her and silently read out the name the other person had written: "Chen Da, male, thirteen."

After reading it, he shook his head slightly. He was not very satisfied with the name. But when he thought of his own name, he smiled again. He didn't know many characters, and he just happened to know these few.

Shen Jiayu looked at it carefully again, but she didn't recognize any of the words. In her eyes, they were no different from scribbles. She leaned over to look at a few other people's words, and they were basically the same.

She began to doubt her life. When she thought about it carefully, she realized that no dynasty was used as reference when the world was designed, so the characters in this world were written in a unique font. These looked like scribbles in her eyes, but they were actually very normal in this world.

Shen Qinghe got the paper and pen from somewhere and handed them to Shen Jiayu, "I got the paper and pen, but I can't write, you do it."

Shen Jiayu forced a smile and said awkwardly, "Actually, I can't read either. I just heard a lot and came up with random names."

"Haha, I thought he was such a powerful figure." Someone in the crowd suddenly laughed sarcastically, and the sound was particularly harsh.
