A Deliberately Difficult Exam Question

A few days later, Bai Yang stepped out of his stone chamber early in the morning, his gait light and relaxed.

Together with the other four candidates, he headed toward the place where they had first arrived.

Today was the day the five of them would be assessed for official discipleship. Venerable Ganyan would personally decide whether they stayed or left.

Following the same path as before, the group arrived at the center of the largest stone chamber.

Venerable Ganyan and Venerable Xiao Zhou had already been waiting there. Besides the two of them, a frail man with purple skin was also present.

Judging from where he stood, positioned between the two, his status seemed even higher than Venerable Xiao Zhou's.
