I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

When Gu Xiu was trapped in Zuiwen Tower and began to practice Wanyuan Body Tempering Technique, wanting to complete the Body Tempering Divine Bone Realm.

But outside the door of the house where he lived before, Xu Wanqing and Yuchi Chunlei had been waiting impatiently, feeling desperate.

"What's going on? Why did this person just disappear without a trace for no apparent reason?"

"Isn't he planning to go to the Canglong Secret Realm?"

"The test is about to start, and he hasn't come yet. What should we do, Xiaoqing? Are we just going to keep waiting like this?"

"..."

Yuchi Chunlei seemed very anxious and kept pacing in front of Gu Xiu's door.

Two days have passed since she failed to invite Gu Xiu, and during these two days, she and Xu Wanqing have been guarding here like door gods.

Never leave!

Waiting is the most painful thing for someone like Yuchi Chunlei who has little patience, not to mention that she had waited for more than half a month for Gu Xiu before, and now she has to continue waiting for this Guan Qi Yu. This is simply torture for her.

but……

Compared with her impatience, Xu Wanqing at this moment was the one who was truly tortured.

"Why aren't you coming?"

"Where on earth did he go?"

"What should I do next?"

Confused, helpless, and frightened.

This is Xu Wanqing’s biggest feeling now.

Two days ago, she met that little girl. Although she was the real founder of Jueling Valley, she had never been to Jueling Valley in the past few decades, so she had never seen Xiao Ping'an at all. But even so, when she approached her and saw her for the first time, she still suffered unprecedented torture.

Break the heart, split the soul, grind the bones, and crush the flesh!

That kind of pain made it difficult for her to bear it, and it also made her understand the other person's identity.

The Tantai clan, descendants of Tantai Shi!

Or……

The previous owner of Taixu Paraffin Heart!

The moment Taixu Shila noticed the other party, she immediately started punishing her, even though she didn't even actually appear in front of Xiao Ping'an, and even after Xiao Ping'an was away, she relied on the wish power she had accumulated with great difficulty to offset the torture.

But even so.

The unforgettable pain still made her tremble with fear.

She didn't want to suffer like that again.

The best choice is to run away, the farther the better, to the ends of the earth, until you never meet that little girl again.

Can……

She can't escape.

The academy held the key to the Canglong Secret Realm and the means to unlock the Three Walls Sea of ​​Sin. Only by unlocking the Three Walls Sea of ​​Sin could one enter the Taiwei, the cursed power within the Three Walls Sea of ​​Sin, and thereby find a way to completely resolve her Taixu wax curse. This was the only solution, and one she could not avoid no matter what.

If she escaped, she might be able to avoid the curse temporarily, but this curse that would haunt her for eternity was something she could not avoid no matter what. In the end, there was only one outcome waiting for her.

Can't live, can't die!

She didn't want to learn from Tan Tai Shi and sacrifice her own ten generations of descendants or even her own death to break the curse.

The price is too high.

and……

She doesn't want to die.

But if she doesn't leave and can't see Xiao Ping'an, what should she do next?

Do you really expect Yuchi Chunlei to participate in the test, win the first place and obtain the Canglong Key?

This is simply impossible.

She still needs help and the wisdom to watch chess.

and so.

She brought Yuchi Chunlei with her to this place, hoping to wait for Guan Qiyu to return and persuade him to join her. As long as Guan Qiyu joined, she would have Yuchi Chunlei for martial arts and Guan Qiyu for literature, and she would be there behind the scenes to help. In a critical moment, she could even ask Mi Xinghe, who clearly had a special liking for Guan Qiyu, for help.

In this way, she will surely have a smooth journey ahead.

only……

Unexpectedly, Guanqiyu disappeared.

He just disappeared like vapor. They waited here for two days but couldn't find any trace of him.

This completely disrupted Xu Wanqing's original plan, leaving her confused and helpless, and she didn't even know what to do next.

Can be biased.

time does not wait.

"Xiaoqing, the academy assessment has already begun. If we keep waiting like this and miss the assessment time, then we're really done for."

"If it really doesn't work, you should go ahead."

Yuchi Chunlei reminded.

This made Xu Wanqing shake her head without hesitation: "No, no, I can't do it!"

"Why?" Yuchi Chunlei was confused.

"I... I have my reasons. If I go, the situation will be very bad." Xu Wanqing looked embarrassed, and then placed her only hope on Yuchi Chunlei:

"You go ahead, you go ahead!"

"Me? I can't do it. These tests in the academy are all things that only scholars can understand. How could I understand them? I can't do it." Yuchi Chunlei shook her head repeatedly.

"It's okay. I've told you a lot these past few days. The academy's assessment is more relaxed than before. As long as you follow what I told you before, there will be no problem in getting a place for us." Xu Wanqing said repeatedly. Seeing that Yuchi Chunlei was still a little hesitant, she immediately added:

"Senior Sister, I believe in you, you can do it!"

"Are you really going to disappoint me?"

This made Yuchi Chunlei feel a little uncomfortable to refuse: "But I...this...I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, Xiaoqing, you can't blame me."

"Don't worry, as long as you carefully remember what I told you before, there will be no problem!" Xu Wanqing encouraged.

Yuchi Chunlei had a headache: "But...actually, what you have told me these days, I..."

"what happened?"

“I haven’t…”

"That's good!" Before Yuchi Chunlei could finish, Xu Wanqing praised her, "I knew you were always the most reliable person. Although everyone says you're stupid, I always believe you just don't take it seriously. Confucianism has always had a saying called 'great wisdom appears foolish', and I think you are just that kind of person!"

"Ah?" Yuchi Chunlei was shocked: "Master... Does Xiaoqing really think of me like this?"

"Of course, I always think that you are the smartest person in Qingxuan. Although you are usually low-key, but at the critical moment, you are the most trustworthy!" Xu Wanqing's idea is very simple. She will have to rely on this idiot next. At this time, it is better to praise him than to belittle him.

What's more...

The existence of Taixu Wax Heart made it impossible for her to say anything that belittled the other person. On the contrary, such well-intentioned compliments would not trigger Taixu Wax Heart.

It was his words that made Yuchi Chunlei feel embarrassed.

What she actually wanted to say was that although "Gu Xiu" had indeed taught her a lot of assessment points in the past two days, she had actually almost forgotten them all the time.

but now……

Junior Brother Gu thinks that he is the smartest and most reliable, so I must not let him down!

Fight!!!

"Don't worry, Xiaoqing!" Yuchi Chunlei immediately patted her chest and assured:

"Although I'm not very smart, I've at least reached the Refining Void Realm. I'm sure I'll give you a good score on this simple academy test!"

"Next, wait for my good news!"

Say it.

Yuchi Chunlei turned around and walked away, with a heroic and high-spirited manner, heading towards the six pavilions of the academy.

According to the master's rules, one must take the academy assessment in person, but if one of the two or three people who have not yet joined the academy travels together and one of them passes the assessment, the companions will also be eligible to enter the Canglong Secret Realm. They can even take turns taking the assessment as a team.

Before, she lacked confidence and felt that it would be a complete disgrace for her to participate in the Six Pavilion Assessment.

but now.

She is confident!

only……

However, when Yuchi Chunlei arrived at the gate of Tianli Pavilion and heard the assessment rules of Tianli Pavilion, this confidence inexplicably dissipated a lot.

"Since Tianli Pavilion is the leader of the six pavilions, the assessment content is naturally the most rigorous and complex in our Taihang Academy. But at the same time, for some people, it is naturally the easiest."

“Our test requirements are simple.”

"All you need to do is step into the Mirror of Innocence and Sincerity in my Tianli Pavilion and pass a few tests we've set up in advance. Just in case you're unfamiliar with what the Mirror of Innocence and Sincerity is, I'll explain it to you."

"This Mirror is a magical artifact forged by the second generation of sages from Taihang Academy. Once you enter it, your memories and cultivation will be temporarily sealed. You will forget that you are undergoing a test, and even forget some things about your identity. All you need to do is maintain your inner sincerity and make the choices that best suit your heart."

"Don't worry, this test won't cause you any harm. On the contrary, within this Mirror of Innocent Sincerity, your true nature will be strengthened. Even if you enter the Tribulation of Integrity in the future, it will become much easier. So, as long as you can enter it, no matter what the outcome, it will only benefit you."

"but……"

"Since this is a test, it naturally can't be without any restrictions. In fact, everything you encounter inside is predetermined by us. You will be faced with multiple choices, and each choice will affect your score. When you come out, we will give you a score based on your performance."

"remember."

"A gentleman adheres to the Five Constant Virtues: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness. To these five virtues, we have also added courage. This time, the test in the Tianli Pavilion will test whether you can strictly adhere to these Five Constant Virtues!"

Listen to these introductions.

Yuchi Chunlei just felt overwhelmed.

She has never been a smart person. Even though she has a high level of cultivation, she can never remember anything about these Confucian knowledge. If she is asked about her cultivation, she has no fear, but if she is asked about this, she really has no confidence.

but……

Thinking of Junior Brother Gu's encouragement, Yuchi Chunlei finally gritted her teeth.

on!

Soon, with the registration of the roster and the queuing for the examination, it was not long before it was Yuchi Chunlei's turn. She took a deep breath and walked into the room specially used for the examination.

unexpected.

There is only one mirror here, and both sides of the mirror can be used for assessment. Opposite is a little girl who looks particularly cute, smiling at him kindly.

But before the two of them could communicate, a Confucian scholar in Confucian robes in front of the mirror spoke coldly:

"You two, reach out and touch the mirror. The test will begin immediately."

Hearing this, Yuchi Chunlei swallowed, finally stepped forward, and nervously stretched out a hand.

next moment.

A dazzling light shone out from the mirror. When the light faded, Yuchi Chunlei suddenly found that she had left the room with only a mirror and appeared in a bustling market. Looking down, she found that she had become a scholar in Confucian robes.

"I……"

"who is it?"
