Chapter 7 Five Thousand Gold Coins
  On the way out of the mine, they met other people, many of whom were unconscious and just woke up, and some who were trampled and injured and unable to move.

The middle-aged man greeted Lin Xiu and took one with him, and the group walked out of the mine together.

The sun shone on him, and the coldness left in the cave quickly dissipated.

After experiencing life and death for the first time, Lin Xiu couldn't help but feel a little scared when he recalled it. If he hadn't eaten a lot of red jade ginseng before, maybe this time it would really be over.

There was a crisis in the mine, and mining had to be suspended, especially as white mist appeared more and more frequently.

Two hours after Lin Xiu and the others left, the mine was once again filled with white mist.

Even if the people of the Lin family no longer consider the death of miners, they still have to care about their thoughts. If the situation becomes urgent, no one will work.

In the evening, Lin Xiu saw the head of the Lin family leading people to the mine. The man was powerful and had the words Canaan College on his clothes.

Lin Xiu couldn't observe the specific process with his own eyes, so he didn't know clearly.

Listening to people chatting in the early morning, it seems that a teacher from Canaan College entered the mine and said that there is a monster trying to break through. Wait for it to complete the breakthrough, then block the entrance of the hole, and avoid that area in the future.

not slept all night.

The next day, because the mine was temporarily unable to operate, many people took leave to go home, and Lin Xiu was no exception.

When he returned to Tlan City, it was already noon. He used his few remaining savings to fill his stomach and came to the square.

At this moment, many people gathered around the square, and troops were surrounding them to maintain order.

"Hello, I want to sign up." Lin Xiu mixed in the team and successfully got a sign with his name on it.

……

"Did you survive the encounter with Bai Wu? Can't you tell, this kid is really lucky."

Manager Lin was a little unhappy after hearing the report. "Go and notify Lin Xiu and let him go back to work at the Lin family."

Since I let you escape in the mine, I will let you work under my hands. Since I don’t have horses for you to raise, I can leave all the dirty work to you.

The man didn't leave.

"What's wrong? Are you worried that Lin Xiu won't listen to you? Or do you think my words won't work?" Manager Lin's face darkened.

"No." The man waved his hand quickly, "Manager Lin, it's just that Lin Xiu has taken leave."

"He still dares to ask for leave? Where did he go?" Manager Lin was even more unhappy. He asked Lin Xiu to suffer, but this guy even asked for leave. He didn't even take any leave when working in the Lin family.

"When I came, I saw Lin Xiu in the square. He seemed to want to sign up for Canaan College's admissions test." The man was not sure because he only took a quick glance.

"Canaan College? Are you kidding? He's just a horse breeder and he still wants to pass the Canaan College exam?" Manager Lin immediately prepared to go to the square to take a look.

If you really see Lin Xiu there, you must give him a good scolding!
  ……

Canaan College's admissions only look at talent. Those who are under the age of 18 and have an eighth-level fighting spirit meet the admission requirements.

Every year Canaan College recruits students, a large number of people come to participate.

Standing in the team, Lin Xiu saw that some people with the third level of fighting strength were also participating in the assessment.

Most of those people were dressed simply. It seemed that they were not deliberately causing trouble, but simply didn't know their own strength, so they came here to test it.

The students of Canaan College did not show any anger because of those people, but were very calm.

"Lin Xiu?"

A girl glanced at the name and then looked up at the young man standing in front of her.

"It's me, hello senior sister." Lin Xiu smiled.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry to call me senior, we first need to see if you can pass the assessment."

She took out two fist-sized rocks, similar in appearance, but slightly different in color.

"Put your hand on the black stone first." Lin Xiu followed the girl's instructions. Soon a line of words appeared on the stone:

"Strength of fighting, eighth level, advanced level."

"Your strength has reached the standard. If your age matches, you will be my junior." The girl asked Lin Xiu to put his hand on another stone.

The number "17" is displayed above.

"Congratulations, Junior Lin Xiu, for successfully passing the test. Welcome to join Canaan College."

After meeting the two requirements, the girl handed Lin Xiu a certificate of passing the test. Lin Xiu said thank you and walked towards the waiting area on the other side.

"Lin Xiu!"

At this time, a deep voice came, and Lin Xiu saw Manager Lin walking angrily from outside the crowd.

Okay, I didn’t go looking for you, but you came up on your own initiative!
  Recalling the middle-aged man's reminder, Lin Xiu felt that Manager Lin was very suspicious, especially since he suddenly appeared in the square at this moment.

If you weren't paying special attention to yourself, why would you suddenly come to him?

"Lin Xiu, have you forgotten your identity?" Manager Lin's voice was loud, obviously trying to attract the attention of the people around him.

"Take a look at what this is first." Lin Xiu directly interrupted what he was about to say, raised the certificate in his hand, and waved it in front of Manager Lin's eyes.

"Did you pass the test? Are you now a student at Canaan College?" Manager Lin's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

"If you don't believe me, do you want to ask?" Lin Xiu pointed to the Canaan College students not far away.

Manager Lin is just a housekeeper of the Lin family. How could he have the courage to question the students of Canaan College.

Now that he learned that Lin Xiu passed the test, Manager Lin suddenly regretted that he should not have come here.

Sweat broke out on his forehead and slid down his cheeks. Manager Lin was responsible for managing the Lin family, and he still had some understanding of the matters surrounding Canaan College.

"Congratulations Lin Xiu, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Manager Lin turned around and wanted to leave, but Lin Xiu grabbed his clothes.

"Steward Lin, don't you have anything to explain? For example, what happened in the mine." Lin Xiu stared at Steward Lin, whose face was gradually turning pale, with a half-smile.

This old guy didn't provoke him much, but he actually wanted to kill himself. If he hadn't accidentally eaten red jade ginseng, he would have succeeded.

"I don't know what you are talking about. The deployment is the family's order. I can't change it." Manager Lin said.

"Really?" Lin Xiu didn't believe it at all, but he really had no evidence. "How about you swear that if you lie, your descendants will not die well in the future."

"It's not necessary, Lin Xiu." Manager Lin's expression turned very ugly.

"You should know what it means for me to join Canaan College. Does Manager Lin want me to come back to visit you in two years?" Lin Xiu's smile was a little cold.

"I was blind before. I will compensate. I am willing to compensate." Manager Lin was very sober. With Lin Xiu's current strength, there was nothing he could do against him.

But after two years of training in the academy, when Lin Xiuzhen comes back to settle the score, the clan leader will definitely abandon him.

"Ten thousand gold coins!" Lin Xiu said.

"That's too much. I'm just a steward, not an elder. Five thousand, the most I can give is five thousand." When he heard ten thousand, the flesh on Steward Lin's face shook violently.

"Okay, I believe you once."

Taking a card away from the trembling manager Lin, Lin Xiu waved goodbye to him.

He originally thought that he would have no money to go to the academy, but now he has five thousand gold coins, which can solve a lot of troubles.

Now that he no longer had to worry about his identity, Lin Xiu finally relaxed and walked to the waiting area where he passed the test.

"I can finally work on that ring with peace of mind." After he got it before, he had been worried about being coveted by others and never looked at it.
