A huge crack appeared in the ground and all five of them fell in.

The five people fell into different places, this is Dream Valley.

Shang Shixu and Mo Yan can only observe the situation in Yunshui Mountain. The new test will be examined by Chenzhe and Wenhong.

The five people who fell into the dream valley soon woke up. A strange atmosphere filled the air.

Everyone begins to experience unique tests of the heart and face their deepest fears and confusions.

Wasu was alone in a sea of ​​flowers, the beauty was breathtaking.

Shang Qianyue came to a mysterious tower, which was full of mysteries and dangers.

Shang Xiuming is drawn into a fierce battle and must overcome his cowardice.

Shang Shi'an found himself standing on the edge of a barren desert. The sun was scorching and endless. He felt helpless and confused, but a firm strength surged in his heart and he decided to face the challenge bravely.

Gu Qingyan looked at the familiar scene in front of him in a daze, and a sense of loss surged in his heart. Did he really fail? He murmured to himself.

Just then, a figure came running over in a hurry. It was Zhang Lai, the housekeeper of the Gu family.

"Master, Young Master, you're back!" Zhang Lai shouted with joy on his face.

Gu Qingyan came back to his senses, nodded, and then looked towards the door.

Lu Li was looking at him in surprise, his eyes full of concern.

"Qingyan, you're back?" Lu Li walked quickly to Gu Qingyan and looked him up and down, as if to confirm whether he was okay.

Gu Qingyan looked at his mother and suddenly felt a little guilty. He whispered, "Mom..."

"Didn't you go to Yunqing Sect to participate in the cultivation conference? Why did you come back so soon?" Lu Li asked puzzledly.

Gu Qingyan touched his head gently and sighed helplessly: "I seem to have failed and was sent back..."

After hearing this, Lu Li frowned slightly, but soon felt relieved.

She patted Gu Qingyan on the shoulder and consoled him, "I see. But it doesn't matter. There are so many people participating in the Cultivation Conference this time. The competition must be fierce. Besides, your body has just recovered. Even if you are not selected, it's no big deal. We will have another chance in the future."

Gu Qingyan nodded silently, but he was actually very puzzled.

When the rules of the game were introduced, I didn't hear Shang Shixu say anything about being teleported back home if you failed.

"Yan'er has lost a lot of weight these days. Go back to your room and rest first. I'll ask the kitchen to cook some of your favorite dishes." Lu Li said softly.

Gu Qingyan nodded: "Okay."

Zhang Lai said respectfully, "Yes, ma'am."

Gu Qingyan followed Zhang Lai into the house in confusion. However, when he saw the furnishings in the room, his face turned pale.

These decorations were completely different from the home he remembered.

Moreover, it was his mother and housekeeper who were somewhat surprised. If he went home first, shouldn't his mother ask him whether he had given the pair of amethyst pendants to Her Royal Highness the Princess? After all, when he left home, his mother had repeatedly told him to deliver the amethyst pendants to Shang Shixu.

"What on earth is going on..." Gu Qingyan muttered to himself.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Lai asked.

Gu Qingyan: "Uncle Zhang, why did my room become like this?"

Zhang Lai smiled and said, "Nothing has changed, Master. You must be too tired and have hallucinations. Go in and rest first."

"Okay, Uncle Zhang, you go down first."

"Yes."

After returning, Gu Qingyan felt something was not right. He felt that everything here was strange, so he decided to go out and take a look to find out what was going on.

He walked out of the room and strolled in the Gu family's courtyard. Every flower, grass, brick and tile here seemed unfamiliar to him.

As he walked, he came to a corner of the garden where there was a big tree. He remembered that when he was a child, he often played under this tree.

But now the tree is gone, replaced by a rockery.

Gu Qingyan was shocked. He began to doubt whether he had really returned to the Gu family. What was going on? He decided to go to his mother to find out.

Gu Qingyan came to the door of his mother's room and knocked gently.

"Come in." Lu Li's voice came from the room. He pushed open the door and walked into the room.

"Mom, I have something to ask you."

Lu Li looked at him with a smile, "What's the matter? Just tell me."

"After I came back, I felt like something was wrong at home. My room looked different, and the big tree was gone. What happened?"

Lu Li's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible panic, but he quickly regained his composure, "Maybe you've been away for too long, so I remembered it wrong. There's nothing changed at home."

Gu Qingyan frowned, "I can't remember it wrong. Moreover, before I went to attend the Cultivation Conference, you repeatedly told me to give the purple crystal pendant to the princess. But when you saw me just now, you didn't mention it at all."

Lu Li was silent for a moment, "Uh... maybe I forgot. As for the purple crystal pendant, did you give it to her?"

Gu Qingyan felt that his mother's attitude was a little strange, and he felt that something was wrong. "Mom, are you hiding something from me?"

Lu Li quickly shook his head, "No, why would mother hide it from you? Don't think too much about it."

Gu Qingyan stared at his mother, trying to find clues from her expression, but Lu Li's face showed only worry and kindness, making it impossible for him to judge.

"Okay... maybe I'm really overthinking it." Gu Qingyan said helplessly.

"Then I'll go back first." He turned and left the room, but the doubts in his heart did not ease at all. What on earth was going on? He decided to look for other clues to solve this mystery.

But when he was preparing the room, he remembered something and turned back. He saw a crack in Lu Li's door. Gu Qingyan looked in the direction and saw a very horrifying scene.

His mother wanted to eat the maid in the mansion. Gu Qingyan looked at this bloody scene in horror. The maid looked at him with pain on her face. Gu Qingyan found that there was an extra sword in his hand. This sword was the one given to them by Yun Qingzong.

"What's going on?" Gu Qingyan murmured.

Suddenly, I thought of something. Could it be that I haven't failed yet? Is this all a test?

"stop."

Gu Qingyan pushed open the door.

Lu Li, who was gnawing on the maid's finger, stopped and stretched out his bloody left hand: "Yan'er, come and taste this delicacy."

Gu Qingyan's eyes widened and he stepped back repeatedly, "No, you are not my mother!"

Lu Li chuckled, his voice becoming sharp and piercing: "You are talking nonsense. I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. How can you say that I am not your mother?"

"Shut up, you are definitely not my mother." Gu Qingyan raised the sword and pointed it at her.

"Of course I am your mother, have you forgotten?" Lu Li walked towards him step by step.

Gu Qingyan tightly gripped the sword in his hand, trying to calm himself down.

"Yan'er, do you still remember that when you were sick, your mother sat by your bedside without taking off her clothes, feeding you medicine mouthful by mouthful?" Lu Li said with tears in his eyes.

Gu Qingyan's heart began to waver, and the sword in his hand began to tremble slightly.

"No, this is all fake, you lied to me!" he said through gritted teeth.

Lu Li continued to walk forward, stretching out his hands to grab Gu Qingyan. Gu Qingyan swung his sword fiercely, and the tip of the sword cut through Lu Li's arm, and blood immediately flowed out.

"Ah!" Lu Li screamed, covering his injured arm and took a few steps back.

But then a strange smile appeared on her face, "Haha, you finally took action..."

Gu Qingyan was stunned. He looked at the sword in his hand, which was covered in blood. His heart was filled with contradictions and pain. Was this real or an illusion?

The sword flashed, and Lu Li's figure disappeared in an instant.

The room returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.

Gu Qingyan was panting heavily, sweat soaking his forehead. He looked at the sword in his hand, and gradually understood the meaning of this test.

At this moment, a ray of light fell from the sky and shone on Gu Qingyan. He felt dizzy and then lost consciousness.

When Gu Qingyan woke up again, he found himself in a strange place, surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, and the air was filled with a fresh scent.

"Where is this?" he muttered to himself.

"Yun Qingzong." A voice sounded, Gu Qingyan looked up and saw two men looking at him.

The man who spoke was tall and straight, like a handsome jade tree, with a white gown that fluttered in the wind, as if he was an immortal banished to earth. His smile was like the spring sun, warm and gentle, making people feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze.

He holds a folding fan in his hand, with landscape patterns painted on it, which seems to contain endless poetry.

The other man was more stern, tall and mighty, with a resolute face and a look of determination and resoluteness in his eyes. He had a long sword hanging from his waist, with a gemstone inlaid on the hilt, which was flashing with cold light.

"You are..." Gu Qingyan asked doubtfully.

"We are disciples of the Yunqing Sect, Wen Hong and Chen Zhe." The man in white replied with a smile, "Congratulations on passing the test of the heart."

Gu Qingyan suddenly realized that everything before was a test. He recalled all the strange phenomena he encountered in the Gu family and the final confrontation with his "mother".

"Thank you both," he said gratefully.

"You're welcome." Wen Hong waved his fan. "It's rare that you can keep your true heart in the illusion. However, this is just an entry test. There are more challenges waiting for you later."

"What about them?" Gu Qingyan asked about the situation of Shang Qianyue and others.

"You mean the people who fell into Dream Valley with you?"

"Correct."

"I have no comment on this, because the Dream Valley reflects one's inner self."

After all fifty spiritual roots were found, Shang Shixu took back the Lun Qing Jing and walked towards the venue of the Test of the Heart.

Shang Shixu was always concerned about the situation of others. When she reached the blue sea with great worry, she saw Shang Qianyue and others standing upright from afar. Only then did she feel relieved.

"Little uncle!"

The first person to discover Shang Shixu's figure was Wen Hong's eldest disciple, Yunxi. His voice was as loud as a bell, deafening.

Hearing the sound, everyone turned around to look.

"Junior sister is here." Wen Hong said with a smile.

Chen Zhe also called softly, "Junior sister."

However, when Shang Qianyue and Shang Shixu looked at each other, his eyes revealed a barely perceptible panic.

The scene just now kept appearing in my mind, my heart beat faster and faster, and I was so flustered that I could hardly control myself.

Shang Shixu nodded to everyone in turn, then fixed his eyes on Shang Qianyue who was in a daze. He asked with confusion in his heart, "Second brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you so distracted?"

Shang Qianyue shook her head slowly, a hint of doubt and uneasiness in her eyes, and said softly: "No, what's wrong?"

His voice was slightly low, as if carrying an unspeakable worry.

Shang Shi'an, who was standing aside, also had a gloomy and solemn expression on his face, as if he was holding back a grudge.

He frowned tightly, wondering why he had witnessed such an unpleasant scene. That scene was like a flash of lightning that broke through the night sky, catching him off guard and making him feel heavy-hearted.

Among the four people who took part in the test of the heart, only Hua Shu and Shang Xiuming looked slightly better.
