Chapter 38

She touched the place where she had hidden her sword, looking dazed.

"What about my sword? Where did the sword I hid go?"

"How could it have disappeared?"

She clearly remembered hiding it on herself...

"Congratulations, Sister."

Yue Yao offered her congratulations.

Yin Luoxia, meanwhile, was still savoring the Preliminary Test she had just gone through.

"Sister Yue Yao, this Preliminary Test..."

"It really does seem to have some merit, doesn't it?"

She had never encountered anyone so interesting, someone who could come up with such a method to test the examinees.

And it wasn't limited to just one answer.

Could the other party be the mysterious Academy Second Master?

At the same time.

The examination continued!

"Wushuang City, Song YanHui!"

"Which sword did you lose?"

"I didn't lose any sword. I wouldn't even look twice at some broken sword like that!"

"The other two are only so-so!"

Wushuang City possessed the wealth of an empire and held countless famous swords under heaven. Naturally, Song YanHui wouldn't be tempted by such a small benefit.

The River God shook his head helplessly.

He had run into a top-tier rich young master!

The dignified River God was actually poorer than this kid?

That was a little too much!

"Qingcheng Mountain, Wang Yixing!"

"You can choose one."

The River God simply gave up trying.

"Why should I choose a sword? I just want to find somewhere to stay in peace."

"I don't want anything."

All right, this was another fellow who liked staying on the mountain and never coming down.

The River God impatiently waved his hand.

"You pass too. Hurry up, go, go, go!"

"Marquis Zhenxi's Manor, Baili Dongjun!"

The River God finally perked up.

At last, someone interesting had arrived.

The three swords were arranged in a row.

They were placed before Baili Dongjun.

"Choose."

Baili Dongjun was still somewhat groggy. He didn't even glance at the swords.

Instead, he looked at the stream beneath the River God.

"This water is clear and bright, without a trace of impurity. It's a top-grade spring for brewing wine!"

"I have to bring more back to brew wine!"

Baili Dongjun's eyes lit up. With a splash, he plunged straight into the stream.

His face was full of excitement.

It was as if he were savoring the superb spring water.

He completely treated the Immortal Palace-grade sword as if it were nothing.

"All right. He really is someone who values brewing wine over famous swords."

"Pass!"

"Next!"

"Ye Manor, Ye Dingzhi!"

By the time it was Ye Dingzhi's turn, the examination was nearing its end.

But the River God still perked up.

He looked at the youth before him.

He was imposing and awe-inspiring.

His Vajra's Wrathful Gaze was formidable.

No wonder he was the disciple of Southern Jue's First Sword Immortal, Yu Sheng Mo.

And no wonder he was the orphan of Ye Yu, the God of Slaughter.

"Choose one of these three swords."

But Ye Dingzhi didn't even look at the three swords.

Instead, he glared fiercely at the River God.

"What I hate most is someone forcing me to choose!"

"Die!"

Vajra's Wrathful Gaze, Immovable Wisdom King!

His Dharma Aspect manifested.

He immediately attacked the River God!

"He really is a fine seed for falling into demonic cultivation." The River God smiled calmly, completely unfazed by Ye Dingzhi's attack.

He casually shifted aside and dodged it.

With a wave of his long sleeve, he said, "You pass too!"

Then.

He murmured softly, "If you weren't Yu Sheng Mo's disciple, I would have at least taught you a lesson."

Qianjin Platform.

The Academy Grand Examination.

After Ye Dingzhi finished his examination.

Only a handful of examinees remained at the venue.

There was only one person left who had yet to take the examination.

She was a woman dressed in white, her face hidden behind a veil.

"It's your turn, Sister Yue Yao."

Yue Yao, using the assumed name Yaoyue, floated onto the platform.

She also arrived by the river.

"So, young lady, which sword will you choose?"

In the river.

A blue-robed youth appeared, drifting gracefully into view.

He appeared before Yue Yao.

The peerless Immortal Palace sword lay before Yue Yao, but she didn't even glance at it.

Instead, she looked at Jiang Mu Ming.

Her expression was bewildered, yet carried a trace of resolve.

She spoke from the depths of her heart: "I... choose you!"

At this moment, Yue Yao couldn't remember anything from her past.

But she still felt that the blue-robed youth before her was the most important person in her life!

Jiang Mu Ming's expression froze.

It was truly an unexpected answer.

It wasn't the most interesting answer he had heard today, but it was the answer that satisfied him the most.

"Examinee Yaoyue, you have passed the Preliminary Test!"

The next moment.

Yue Yao reappeared on Qianjin Platform.

An inexplicable emotion arose in her heart.
