I didn't expect that Bai Wuxiang would have such privileges.

She barely had to participate in the ability display and duel to be shortlisted as the final batch to enter the Re-Spirit Illusionary Realm.

In the audience, Lin Ruojin gestured to Bai Wuxiang, who was sitting in a single room far away, to say thank you. When Bai Wuxiang saw the smile on her face, he also felt a different wave in his heart.

But the next second, the waves stopped.

He still remembered that she said she had someone she liked, someone who was better than Baili Shun. Who could it be?

In a trance, a woman in purple came over, and Bai Wuxiang raised his head to look at the newcomer.

Bi Ruyue said softly: "Bai Wuxiang, what is your relationship with that girl?"

"…Nothing, just friends."

"Did you know that she had a husband?"

"I know." Bai Wuxiang picked up the teacup and took a few sips. Everything else in Qingyun Mountain was ordinary, only this tea was extraordinary.

"She came from afar without telling Baili Louzhu. It's bad for her to be with a stranger like you. You have to keep your distance from her to avoid being criticized."

Bai Wuxiang did not answer. His eyes under the mask stared at the woman in the distance who was sometimes clapping and sometimes cheering. Her unpretentious movements were so cute in his eyes, making him feel itchy. He wanted to go over and hug her tightly, feeling her warm and soft body and her rapid heartbeat.

Seeing that Bai Wuxiang ignored her, Bi Ruyue's beautiful eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

"She doesn't know the etiquette. Don't you, as the head disciple of Huayang Sect, also not know it?"

This sentence instantly calmed Bai Wuxiang's originally happy mood. He spoke in a cold voice, his tone full of alienation and indifference, "Master Baili is a straightforward person, not a person who cares about every little thing. She and I are innocent and have never crossed the rules. I don't know what etiquette you are forcing? Is it to talk about matters between men and women all the time, or to suddenly stand next to a foreign man like me?"

Bi Ruyue was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"That's not what I meant, I just..."

"Since that is not what I meant, please return to where you belong. Today, I have a different understanding of Qingyun Mountain's behavior than before. As a Qingyun disciple, you certainly don't want to hear bad comments about Qingyun Mountain from outside, right?"

Bi Ruyue was completely speechless, she turned around and walked away. Halfway through her walk, she looked back again, only to see that the man who always claimed to be ruthless and unloving was still silently staring in the direction of Lin Ruojin.

"Bo Wuxiang, who is heartless and unloving, is no more than this."

After rounds of screening, it was already afternoon. Lin Ruojin was drowsy in her seat until Bai Wuxiang came over and called her, and she woke up a little.

"Is it over? Are we going to the Reincarnation Fantasy Land?"

Lin Ruojin stretched lazily, and Bai Wuxiang nodded and continued: "Although there will be no danger, the situation inside is still quite complicated. This is your first time here and there are many things you don't understand. I can accompany you in."

"Aren't only beginners allowed to enter?"

"I can go in as a guide, but I need to wait until you officially start facing the illusion before going in. You just wait for me."

Lin Ruojin was deeply touched and felt extremely happy about this somewhat sudden friendship.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

"Well...wait for me."

After several rounds of screening, there were only about twenty candidates left. Lin Ruojin looked left and right. The people around her were about her age. They could not hide their smug looks on their faces and gathered together to discuss the next heavy spirit illusion.

One of the men, who looked handsome, walked through the crowd and came straight to Lin Ruojin.

"Did the girl come here alone?"

"Well, it is."

"Would you like to team up with me?"

Lin Ruojin was about to refuse, but the man's expression suddenly froze, and he quickly moved away from Lin Ruojin and hid at the back of the crowd.

"Miss Lin." Bai Wuxiang reminded Lin Ruojin from a distance: "Don't team up with anyone. In order to enter Qingyun, there may be people with bad intentions who use you as a stepping stone."

Lin Ruojin nodded belatedly and followed the crowd into the cave in the back mountain of Qingyun Sect.

When they first entered, the two sides were very narrow, and they could only follow Qingyun's master in one by one.

Later, as the place became more spacious, people began to disperse.

The torches on the walls lit up one by one, illuminating the dark cave.

Only then did they see the four stone doors with vines winding around them in front of them, engraved with benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom respectively.

The leading Qingyun Mountain master pointed at the four stone doors and said, "You can choose any door to enter. The illusion will change into different scenes depending on the person and the choice. It's up to your heart to decide what you want to choose."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man came to the door and pushed open the stone door. Looking into the dark stone door, he hesitated. But since he had already stepped forward, he went in for the sake of face.

"Everyone, please make your choice. The time limit is two hours. Those who successfully pass the illusion test may be accepted into the inner sect by the headmaster."

As soon as these words were spoken, others were eager to try, scrambling to choose the door that suited them.

Lin Ruojin did not follow immediately. She looked at the four doors and pondered for a moment, then asked the teacher who was standing quietly by the side observing everyone: "Excuse me, do these doors lead to different places, each with its own way out. Or..."

The teacher turned around and smiled, saying: "Although the scenery along the way is different, we all end up in the same place."

Lin Ruojin understood, said thank you, pushed open Ren's stone door, and walked in without hesitation.

After entering, Lin Ruojin wanted to catch up with the people in front, but found that they were walking faster and faster and he could not catch up with them.

And inside the stone gate was a whole other world she had never seen before.

The brook is gurgling, the pines are green and vigorous, and the birds are circling in the clear blue sky. It is such a peaceful and melancholy paradise.

Lin Ruojin stepped on the moss by the water and stirred the gurgling stream with her hand. She couldn't help but frown.

This illusion was so real that she wondered what kind of scene would be waiting for her in a while.

As the saying goes, it comes true. As soon as Lin Ruojin stood up, she saw a woman in coarse linen clothes running out of the bushes holding a bloody baby.

She was ugly and unkempt, and the dust on her face was wet with sweat, leaving black marks.

Seeing Lin Ruojin, she felt like she had seen a savior. She ran over panting, handed the baby covered in amniotic fluid and blood to Lin Ruojin, and knelt down in front of her surprised eyes.

"Miss, I was harmed by a villain and was seriously injured. I am afraid I will not live long. I have given birth to a son. Please have mercy on me and help me send him to my husband." The woman looked at Lin Ruojin earnestly, her dry and white lips trembling, and she looked very weak.

Lin Ruojin knew that this was an illusion created by Ren, so the current situation required her to save the baby herself.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruojin took the baby without hesitation. As soon as she held the child in her arms, before she asked where her husband was, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, her body limp, and she fell to the ground without breathing, and she did not even close her eyes before she died.

Lin Ruojin stood there with a tangled look in her eyes. Just at this moment, the light and weightless baby in her arms started crying again. It seemed that the baby was hungry, but the mother was already dead, so how could she get milk?

Do we have to strip the deceased of his clothes?

Lin Ruojin held the baby and tried to coax him in embarrassment, then she bit her finger with all her heart, watched the round, bright red blood beads flow out from her fingertips, and then she gently stuffed the blood into the baby's mouth.

It's not a pleasant feeling to have your blood slowly sucked out, but if you don't do this you will definitely fail.

If you fail, you will never be able to enter the spiritual world again and see that fellow villager.

After the baby had drunk enough, Lin Ruojin looked at her fingers that had turned white from being sucked, and helplessly walked to the woman beside her, closed her eyes, and pulled off her headscarf to wrap the naked baby.

After walking a short distance with the child, I saw a monk in a yellow robe sitting cross-legged on a rock in front of me, meditating.

He kept his eyes closed and chanted Buddhist scriptures. The warm sunlight shone through the layers of branches and crisp leaves, casting dappled light on his broad shoulders.

When Lin Ruojin passed by him, she tilted her head to glance at him. He had handsome features and looked no more than thirty years old.

"Madam, please stay."

The monk suddenly stopped chanting and stopped Lin Ruojin from moving forward. Lin Ruojin paused and turned to look at him. The monk opened his eyes, lifted his legs off the stone, and walked towards her while chanting Buddhist mantras. He asked, "Do you want to find the biological father of this baby?"

"Exactly. Master, do you know where this person is?"

The monk smiled and put his palms together and said, "Lady donor, please follow me."

Lin Ruojin did not refuse the NPC's request and followed him out of the dense forest.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at a grave without a tombstone, overgrown with weeds, and it looked like no one had visited it for a long time.
