After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling

"Master Lingshang, do you have something to talk to us about?" Master Xue was briefly surprised and then asked Yang Mei to sit down.

Yang Mei was sitting right in front of the snow lotus in the stream below: "Well, Yuan Zheng is really interested in the snow lotus, so I came here with him."

Young Master Xue turned his head and saw a person squatting where he had just picked snow lotus. The little bells in his hair were reflecting the sunlight.

"Master Zheng is indeed worthy of being the master of Zheng Palace and a medical genius." Master Xue recalled Yang Mei's words just now, "Master Lingshang, you just said that I only know how to pin my hopes on others. Do you think Master Yu is unreliable?"

Except for the elders, no one from the Flower, Snow and Moon Palaces in the back mountain is allowed to go to the front mountain, let alone the Old Dust Valley, so the people here are not very worldly-wise.

At first glance, Mr. Xue's words may sound like he was trying to stir up trouble, but he was actually just asking a simple question and didn't think too much about it.

"I wonder how my brother Shang Jiao performed when he participated in the Three Realms Trial?" Yang Mei did not answer Master Xue's question immediately, but asked them a question like this instead.

"When Gong Shangjiao participated in the first level of the trial in the Snow Palace, he was trapped for twelve days. When he came out, he was barely breathing and his vitality was seriously damaged." Xue Zhongzi said in a deep voice. He raised his eyes and looked at Master Xue. "Gong Er is like this. To be honest, I don't think Gong Ziyu can do better than him."

"Every profession has its own expertise. If you are worried about the miasma problem, even if you have to put your hopes on others, you should choose someone who has the potential to solve the problem, such as Zheng Gong in the front mountain, or Yue Gong in the back mountain." Yang Mei smiled as she spoke, "Excuse me, but I really don't see that Gong Ziyu has the potential to solve the miasma problem."

Master Xue was a little unconvinced: "Although we have been staying in the back mountain, we have heard a long time ago that the people from your Shang, Jiao and Zheng palaces have always been dissatisfied with Master Yu inheriting the position of Sword Wielder, so of course you would say that!" In fact, he was a little convinced. Gong Ziyu looked just ordinary.

"Well, I think Master Yu seems to be very confident about passing the three-realm trial, so why not let him have a try. Life in the back mountain is like a stagnant pool of water, and it might not be a bad thing if he can stir up some waves." Master Xue looked at Xue Chongzi.

Xue Zhongzi took out a round jade pendant and said, "It's getting late. Go wake him up."

……

The trial location for the first level is in the Ice Lotus Pond, which is located in the mountain behind the house where Yang Mei and his friends live.

Gong Ziyu's face was extremely ugly: "Everyone in the palace knows that I am born afraid of cold. Could it be that you are deliberately targeting me with this level?"

Master Xue smiled and said, "Master Yu, you feel good about yourself, but I'm sorry to disappoint you. The Ice Lotus Pond has always been the first level for the trialists, and it has been like this for more than a hundred years. The water here is freezing cold, extremely cold, but it never freezes all year round. There is a box made of black iron at the bottom of the pond, which contains the Xue family's swordsmanship secret book - "Three Styles of Snow Brushing". As long as you dive into the ice pond and get the secret book, you will pass the level successfully."

"Sneak in..." Gong Ziyu's embarrassment and confusion were written all over his face.

"If Master Yu feels that he is not capable of doing it, then he can just leave the Snow Palace and give up. There is no need to be embarrassed or suffer." Master Xue used a "provocation" towards Gong Ziyu.

Gong Ziyu decisively "took the bait": "Isn't it just a matter of diving into the pool and taking out the swordsmanship secret book? This pool doesn't look very big. I can bear it and it will work!"
