Return and Parting

"Oh no, this is bad!" Lu Yuan was startled. Zhu Zhuqing must have discovered something.

Zhu Zhuqing's slender hand climbed onto Lu Yuan's waist. "So what did you just see?"

She had felt that Lu Yuan had done something offensive, but she couldn't put her finger on it and had no evidence.

But now that Lu Yuan has said this, she knows that Lu Yuan must have seen her body with his Double Pupils!

After all, he can see through all kinds of strange objects, so what is a mere layer of clothing?

"I didn't see anything!" Lu Yuan laughed awkwardly and said, "I just hadn't had time to withdraw the power of my Double Pupils, so I saw you... cough cough, just one glance, and I immediately looked away!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena, who was standing to the side, blushed instantly!

Zhu Zhuqing's smile deepened, and she suddenly grabbed a tuft of soft flesh on Lu Yuan's waist with her jade-like hand, then twisted it violently!

"Hiss!" Lu Yuan gasped, the pain shooting straight to his head!

Seeing Lu Yuan's pained expression, Hu Liena spat inwardly and said, "Serves you right, you lecherous bastard!"

Within the ruins, a massive circular portal appeared in mid-air!

Lu Yuan swept away almost everyone in the ruins, and the final stage of the so-called assessment was over!

Thinking about it, there's actually some trick to these assessments.

The first level is a forest teeming with Soul Beast, testing not only a person's strength but also their survival skills and adaptability. Only those who possess both strength and wisdom can pass the first test!

Of course, the first test is also a selection process!

Basically, anyone who passes this test is quite capable!

The second challenge is the palace ruins!

The medicinal herbs in the herb garden test one's humanity; if one becomes greedy, failure is inevitable!

This was the test that Lu Yuan and the others went through. As for whether others experienced the same thing, Lu Yuan didn't know, since there was more than one passage leading to the Temple of Life when they entered the palace gate!

The herb garden targets greed, so other places might target lust or anger. After all, the Temple of Life was left by the Goddess of Life, who is the wife of the God of Destruction. As the God-King, the God of Destruction has Seven Original Sin Gods under his command. Setting up some tests to temper people's character is a piece of cake!

The final test before the Temple of Life is a true test of absolute strength!

The treasures of heaven and earth belong to the virtuous. So, what kind of person can be called virtuous? Naturally, it is the strongest one!

After all, the Goddess of Life left behind such a treasure, so it couldn't be allowed to fall into the hands of an ordinary person, as that would contradict the original intention of the Goddess of Life in leaving behind the relics!

Lu Yuan secretly speculated and guessed the purpose of the Goddess of Life setting up each level with a high degree of accuracy!

"Let's go!" He smiled slightly at Hu Liena him, who nodded slightly.

He glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside him. At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face was cold, her gaze fixed straight ahead, completely ignoring Lu Yuan's words.

"This little wildcat!" Lu Yuan sighed inwardly.

Hu Liena is actually a cold person. She smiles charmingly on the surface, but she is proud to the core. Only when facing Lu Yuan, her junior brother whom she loves to death, does she become obedient and rarely throw a tantrum. She is always very obedient!

And what about Zhu Zhuqing?

She appears aloof and has a cold expression, but she is actually very simple-minded and has no airs. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to blend in so easily in the original story!

However, she is a bit thin-skinned and shy, and also a little arrogant!

If Hu Liena hadn't been there, even if Lu Yuan had seen it, she wouldn't have reacted that way; at most, she would have been a little shy. But since Hu Liena was there, in order to hide her shyness, she could only pretend to be aloof and act indifferent!

Lu Yuan had already figured out this little proud and arrogant person very well!

So Lu Yuan didn't care about Zhu Zhuqing's cold expression at all. He gently took Zhu Zhuqing's hand. Her hand Bingbing, but it felt quite nice!

Lu Yuan held her small hand, but Zhu Zhuqing seemed not to feel it at all, her pretty face still Bingbing staring ahead.

"As expected, a proud little wildcat!" Lu Yuan chuckled inwardly, while taking Hu Liena's soft hand with his other hand!

A suction force emanated from the circular portal, and the three people were directly sucked into it and then disappeared!

Senyue City!

After Lu Yuan and his two companions left the ruins, they arrived at a corner of Senyue City, but no one noticed them, nor did they see any other people who had entered the ruins!

Perhaps just like when they were randomly teleported when they entered the ruins, the three of them were also randomly teleported out this time. But the difference is that this time, the three of them were teleported to the same place!

After discovering that they were already in Senyue City, Lu Yuan used the Spirit Hall's unique communication methods to notify Golden Crocodile Douluo, and the group of four left Senyue City in a hundred years!

Apart from being known by the Platinum Bishop Osfer of the Star Luo Spirit Saint Hall when the message was sent, no one else knew their whereabouts. It must be said that even within the Star Luo Empire, the power of the Spirit Hall should not be underestimated.

This is a remote place Senyue City!

Golden Crocodile Douluo and Hu Liena waited in the carriage, while Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing waited on the road not far away.

"Zhu Qing, are you really leaving? Come back with me!" Lu Yuan gently put his arm around Zhu Zhuqing and said.

Zhu Zhuqing gently shook her head and said, "I want to gain experience on this continent. You've been taking care of me throughout this trip to the ruins. I haven't been able to help you at all. I want to help you; I don't want to be a burden to you!"

Zhu Zhuqing's tone was very gentle, but very firm.

"Zhu Qing, you have never been a burden to me. Moreover, the training is not only arduous but also dangerous. To be honest, I am worried about you, a girl!" Lu Yuan said.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing revealed a stunning smile and said, "Thanks to you this time, I obtained the Life Spirit Crystal, and my Martial Soul has also evolved into the Super Spirit Nine Lives Heavenly Cat. Coupled with my level 27 Soul Power, it's more than enough to protect myself!"

"Zhu Qing!" Lu Yuan wanted to say something, but Zhu Zhuqing's slender fingers pressed against his lips!

"Lu Yuan, I finally made up my mind, please don't try to persuade me anymore, okay? I'm afraid I won't be able to resist going back with you. You know I have no resistance to you!"

Zhu Zhuqing's large, dark eyes, sparkling with intelligence, filled with deep affection as she gazed tenderly at Lu Yuan.

"Zhu Qing!" Lu Yuan sighed softly. It seemed that Zhu Zhuqing had made up her mind!

"Alright, I agree!" Since Zhu Zhuqing really wanted to go out and gain experience, Lu Yuan was unwilling to stop her.

Holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand, Lu Yuan flicked his wrist, and a token appeared in his hand, which he then placed in Zhu Zhuqing's palm!
