See you, sir?
Who is this gentleman?
Lu Changsheng was about to ask the boy a question.
Then Ji Qianyao said from the side, "Sir is a pillar of strength for the Mortal Village, and also the reason why the Mortal Village remains transcendent."
"However, it is said that only those who have passed the third test are eligible to be summoned to see the Master."
Lu Changsheng nodded. "So, quite a few people saw it?"
Ji Qianyao shook her head, denying it, "That's not true. Only two people have ever seen the Master."
"Because, only two people passed this third test."
Lu Changsheng was slightly taken aback.
According to Xing Cheng...
The test for the Mortal Village is a once-in-a-millennium event.
However, it has already been done more than twenty times.
Over the past twenty-odd times, all the geniuses and prodigies of the Heavenly River Star Region have been gathered, yet only two have passed?
That's interesting.
Ji Qianyao said, "And one of those two is a legend of the Heavenly River Star Region, the Heavenly River Star God."
"The other one is an outsider, the former master of the Devil Domain."
"Both of these individuals are, without exception, among the elite of this latitude."
"Therefore, a saying has always circulated outside: 'Having met the Master, one can reach the pinnacle and be qualified to pursue Changsheng.'"
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Changsheng.
Isn't that one of his goals?
I want to keep slacking off.
The prerequisite for that is Changsheng.
Moreover, the Black-Yellow Qi is what this Mortal Village has always protected.
If we want peace, we must see the master.
Then, Lu Changsheng looked at the boy and asked, "When should we go see him?"
While slurping his candied hawthorn, Xiao Shitou mumbled, "I don't know. The master didn't say when, but when the master wants to see me, I will naturally see you."
When will the test begin?
Xiao Shitou wrinkled his nose and said, "Ugh, you're so annoying. We'll tell you when the test starts. Just wander around the village for now."
Lu Changsheng's brows twitched.
Tsk.
Kids are such a hassle!
Ji Qianyao couldn't help but laugh when she saw Lu Changsheng's frustrated yet helpless expression.
Only at times like this.
You can see Lu Changsheng's frustrated expression.
What are you laughing at!
Ji Qianyao was used to Lu Changsheng's steely remarks. With her hands behind her back, she skipped and hopped along beside Lu Changsheng.
They arrived together in the Mortal Village.
However, when they arrived at the Mortal Village...
But then they spotted two uninvited guests walking towards them.
These were none other than the other two top powers in the Heavenly River Star Region.
The Golden-Winged Peng Clan, and the Northern Underworld Dragon Suppression Hall.
Duan Chaohe and Jin Wujin.
Just as Duan Chaohe was about to greet Ji Qianyao, he saw her smiling sweetly as she walked alongside a man.
Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, would glance at him from time to time.
There was a hint of envy in his eyes.
This ignited a nameless fire within Duan Chaohe.
They clearly ignore me.
Normally, they would keep their distance.
But, in front of this man...
However, her complexion was as clear as spring water.
Jin Wujin also crossed his arms, a look of schadenfreude on his face.
" Qianyao, you passed too?"
Seeing Duan Chaohe approaching, Ji Qianyao's expression instantly returned to normal, appearing gentle.
In reality, however, his smile is like an iceberg, keeping people at a distance.
"Thanks to him."
Lu Changsheng heard Ji Qianyao claim the credit for herself.
His lips twitched.
look.
What did I say?
Beautiful women are a source of trouble!
This ability to stir up hatred is truly masterful!
At this moment, Duan Chaohe's expression also turned completely gloomy.
" Qianyao, you are the Holy Maiden of the Jade Lake Immortal Palace, your status is so noble, how can you walk with people of unknown origin?"
Without waiting for Lu Changsheng to speak.
Ji Qianyao's face turned cold.
At this point, even that fake smile had completely disappeared.
" Duan Chaohe, who I'm with is my business, you have no right to interfere."
Hearing Ji Qianyao still speaking up for another man.
Duan Chaohe was even more furious.
In an instant, all the anger was directed at Lu Changsheng.
I just care about you.
Then, Duan Chaohe looked at Lu Changsheng and said, "Although you passed the test, it doesn't mean that your status and strength are on par with ours, understand?"
But who could have imagined it?
Lu Changsheng was neither angry nor did he refute.
Instead, he nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, I only grasped it by chance. In reality, my talent, strength, and status are no match for yours."
"So, I'll be going now."
Get out of here, don't cause me any trouble.
Upon hearing these words, Ji Qianyao couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Try your luck?
Can luck really improve the Roaming Dragon Movement Technique?
Can it make the stone wall reveal a dragon?
You think I can pass the test with just a few pointers if I'm not as talented as you?
but.
After thinking it over and over...
Ji Qianyao felt a surge of frustration again.
Do you really not want anything to do with me?
Duan Chaohe watched Lu Changsheng leave on his own and couldn't help but smile, "He certainly knows what's good for him."
He then looked at Ji Qianyao and said, " Qianyao, don't worry. After the test is over, I will give him a chance to enter the Northern Underworld Dragon Suppression Hall."
The Northern Underworld Dragon Suppression Hall is a top-tier power in this star field.
Ordinary people simply cannot join in!
Duan Chaohe also felt that his promise was an immense favor to someone with no identity and unknown origin.
Ji Qianyao didn't even glance at Duan Chaohe.
It was as if he hadn't heard what he said.
He jogged and caught up with Lu Changsheng.
Upon seeing this, Lu Changsheng covered his face and said, "Tell me, why have you been following me?"
Ji Qianyao smiled and said, "I haven't thanked you yet."
"Keeping your distance from me is the best way to repay me."
"Hmm? The scenery ahead is beautiful!"
Lu Changsheng: "..."
He felt a burning, murderous gaze behind him.
Lu Changsheng wanted to cry.
What a tragedy!
Upon seeing this, Jin Wujin burst into laughter.
" Duan Chaohe, it seems your character is questionable. Ji Qianyao doesn't even consider your charms."
"But you humans just love beating around the bush. If it's someone I like, I'll just take them away by force and make it a fait accompli."
Duan Chaohe sneered, " Jin Wujin, all you have in your head is muscles."
"Besides, the trials to come will make him understand that some people cannot rise to the top overnight and stand where they shouldn't be."
After saying that, Duan Chaohe snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Jin Wujin shrugged and walked to the other side.
In the Mortal Village.
Lu Changsheng and Ji Qianyao strolled side by side.
The surrounding villagers.
Just like ordinary people in the outside world.
Work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
Some people were carrying hoes and doing farm work.
Some people were driving the cattle and sheep with ropes and whips.
Just then, a cow rushed out of the fence and charged towards a little girl playing in the street!
