Luanwu didn't answer, and Zhu Zhihan didn't pay much attention either.

Occasionally in the past, Luanwu would suddenly lose his mind for no reason.

Zhu Zhihan said with a smile: "Let's find clues for Phoenix Flower."

It's just that the mission only said to ask them to find it, but it didn't say where the Phoenix Flower is.

Zhu Zhihan consolidated the known information: "It was mentioned earlier that the phoenix flower grows in the fairyland, but where is the fairyland? Don't you have to search for clues again?"

Zhu Zhihan suddenly felt a heat in his wrist.

Luanwu took her hand and led her forward.

"...Master?"

"I know where it is." Zhu Zhihan heard Luanwu say.

Night fell.

Many fireflies roamed the woods, providing a faint light, a breeze all around, and the soft sound of feet on the grass.

Zhu Zhihan suddenly felt very quiet in his heart.

"How did Master know?"

Luanwu: "Remember those scattered clues we collected before choosing the fork in the road?"

When Luanwu said this, Zhu Zhihan also remembered: "So, those clues are not for choosing a path, but..."

"follow me."

Zhu Zhihan was dragged away by Luanwu. They walked through the vast woods and the narrow single-plank bridge under which the stream flowed quietly.

Finally they came out of the woods.

There is a wide valley in front of you, and the ground is covered with small white flowers.

Among the pure white, the three burning red flowers in the middle are extremely conspicuous.

Yueyue has been waiting here for a long time: "Hoohoo, it looks like our first team of participants has arrived."

Yueyue guided them to the three red flowers: "These are the buds of the Phoenix flower! Let's pick one."

Zhu Zhihan looked at Luanwu, and Luanwu nodded at her.

So Zhu Zhihan stepped forward and picked the middle one.

Yueyue: "Okay, then next, let Yueyue reveal the clues to the final clearance~"

"Please take the buds of the phoenix flower and follow the road in the valley to the end. When you arrive at the designated place and complete the final plot, you will be the first to pass the level!"

After Yueyue finished speaking, as if she was too excited, the two rabbit ears on the mask dangled back and forth.

However, Zhu Zhihan always felt that under Yueyue's mask, there was a sense of watching a good show.

So Zhu Zhihan tentatively said: "May I ask, is the final test difficult? You have hints for each level before?"

Yueyue tilted her head and thought for a while: "Well~ that's true, it's not that Yueyue can't reveal it."

"Between Taoist couples, trust may not be sufficient, and there may be no tacit understanding. After all, there are all kinds of stupid Taoist couples in the world."

"But there is one thing that must be there. What does this participant think it is?"

Zhu Zhihan frowned, with a bad feeling: "What?"

Yueyue clapped her hands: "This is up to you, the distinguished participant, to understand. Let's go, let's go, let's go, if you don't go, other teams are coming soon!"

Zhu Zhihan sighed: "Okay."

The two walked down the path into the depths of the valley.

As long as they pass this final test, they can become the undisputed No. 1, get the quota to go to the Holy Land, and rescue the senior brother.

She should be happy.

However, for some reason, her intuition faintly warned her.She seemed to have overlooked something, stepping on a castle in the air.

……

valley.

Yueyue sat among the flowers, tiptoeing boredly.

There was a little movement at the entrance, Yueyue turned her head to look, saw who was coming, and stood up abruptly.

"Master Saintess." Yueyue bowed and bowed, "I have done what you said, and they should have reached the depths of the valley now!"

Hua Wuying nodded and said in a low voice, "Well done."

She walked up to the phoenix flowers, knelt down, and gently stroked the buds with her pale fingertips, but she didn't seem to want to pick them off.

Yueyue followed Hua Wuying obediently, watched Hua Wuying's movements, and asked curiously: "My lord, why did you do that? Suddenly changed the content of the last level, and used The precious phoenix flower..."

Hua Wuying withdrew her hand and stood up.

Yueyue's gaze touched the plain but inexplicably cold eyes of the Holy Maiden, and she felt a chill in her heart—the matter of the Holy Maiden is beyond her ability to explore.

She immediately lowered her head: "This subordinate made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, my lord saint!"

Hua Wuying said: "It's okay. Don't you find it interesting?"

Yueyue raised her head slowly: "Huh?"

Hua Wuying looked in the direction of the depths of the valley: "I like to pierce those self-deceiving friendly appearances, and it's really interesting to see how the fragile thin ice is torn apart and fragmented."

How about careful maintenance?A fake is a fake and not worth it.

And only when she is punctured and hurt enough, can she have a chance to get close, isn't it?

She smiled slowly.

……

Zhu Zhihan and Luanwu reached the end of the valley.

There, a decent altar-like platform was built with black Yue stones. Next to the platform, a disciple of the Hehuan Sect dressed as a marriage fairy smiled at them and read out the content of the final trial.

"The final trial content is acting."

"Two participants are asked to restore the last scene in the story, and the two can freely choose which one of the flower slaves and flower slave lovers to play."

Zhu Zhihan was stunned.

Looking at the phoenix flower bud in her hand, she realized something, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Wait, what do you mean... Let's restore the passage, 'The tears of the flower slaves dripped on the phoenix flower bud to make the phoenix flower open' ,Yeah?"

'The Immortal of Marriage' smiled slowly, agreeing with her statement.

"The phoenix flower bud is a sacred object produced by our Acacia Sect. Only the tears of a lover can make her bloom. If you two are lovers, you will definitely be able to do it, right?"

The last test of the Taoist Companion Trial is "love".

Zhu Zhihan understood what Yueyue meant.

'Marriage Immortal' looked at the expressions of the two, and said with a smile: "Crying is indeed a bit embarrassing. I will go out first and wait for you two outside? Just give me the phoenix flower in full bloom at that time."

Zhu Zhihan: "..."

The 'Marriage Immortal' left, Zhu Zhihan and Luanwu looked at each other for a moment.

Zhu Zhihan lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "We've done enough, right, we still have tokens... Even if No.2 makes the phoenix flower bloom, we still have a high probability of winning, right?"

Luanwu looked at her and comforted her gently: "Yes, you have done a good job."

Total pampering.

Zhu Zhihan collapsed under such doting eyes.

"No." Zhu Zhihan said.

"The No.2 person may have gotten more tokens, plus those three points... How can we bet on luck? We have to achieve 100% victory."

Zhu Zhihan lowered his head and clenched his fists.

"Senior Brother Six...he wrote to me not long ago, saying that he got a special product from Qinghuangya and wanted to give it to me in person, but I haven't got it yet."

Luan Wu approached her, stroked her back, covered the back of her hand with his slender fingers, and pushed her fingers away, "Look, there are red marks."

If it was normal, Zhu Zhihan would definitely be dumbfounded when he saw Luanwu doing this.

But now she just feels sad.

She knew what choice she was facing.

She has her own selfishness, she is reluctant to part with the relaxed atmosphere with Luanwu, and wants to just stay by Luanwu's side.But she also wanted to... rescue her fellow disciples.

Luanwu looked at her: "You've done enough, there's nothing you can do about it."

Zhu Zhihan moved his lips.

For the first time, she discovered that making a sound was such a difficult thing.

"No, there is a way." She finally said it.

Miss System has been on the sidelines, and when she heard this sentence, she didn't understand: [Host, do you have a solution?I do not know how? 】

Zhu Zhihan said, of course you don't know.

Her thoughts have never been confided to anyone, and they grow silently like weeds in the dark.

She had expected that such a day would come, but she never expected it to come so quickly and be so caught off guard.

She lowered her head, feeling a little grievance suddenly.

The eye sockets became blurred uncontrollably.

"It's so strange, Master, I seem to be crying a lot."

"What's the matter?" Luan Wu bent down, wanting to check her condition.

But Zhu Zhihan took two steps back, distanced himself from her, and firmly separated Luanwu's hand little by little.

"Master, you once said that you hate things between Taoist couples, right?" Zhu Zhihan raised his eyes.

Tears slid down from the sockets of the eyes and down the side of the cheeks, drop by drop, dripping onto the phoenix flower in the palm of her hand.

Luanwu didn't understand why she said this at this time. Seeing the always strong disciple crying, she was a little at a loss: "I said this, but why did you say this at this time?"

Miss System has a premonition: [No, host, you won't... when...]

Zhu Zhihan looked down at the Phoenix Flower.

The fiery red petals bloomed petal by petal, as if to prove something.

It stretches its body and reveals its stamens, so bright that it makes people's eyes hurt.

"Master, look, the flowers are blooming, we can pass the level." She twitched the corners of her lips, trying to laugh, but she didn't.

Luanwu: "..."

"Master, I know..." Zhu Zhihan's voice choked up a little more, "Once I say these thoughts, I lose the qualification to stay by your side and be so close to you. I'm sorry, because of my selfishness, I have always chosen to hide."

Why do Phoenix flowers bloom?

Zhu Zhihan said softly, "Because I... love you."

Luan Wu's expression was blank.

From the first sentence of the little apprentice, she felt like a drum was beating in her ears. She seemed to understand what the little apprentice was saying, but she didn't seem to.

Until that sentence - 'I love you'.

This sentence seems to break the primordial.

A lot of things are tied together.

The little apprentice's uncomfortable avoidance, unreasonable depression, occasional temptation, and past events that he said he would not delve into more than ten years ago, bit by bit, surfaced in front of his eyes.

Does the little apprentice have... such feelings for her?

It turned out to be so.

No one has ever shown love to Luanwu.

Tu Meng once told her jokingly, Senior Sister, you look really good, but you are too self-willed and independent, and Tao Hua is scared away by your cold face.

Luanwu didn't take it seriously at the time: I don't need it.

She once imagined that if someone really said those frivolous and ridiculous things to her beyond her control, she would definitely beat that person up and throw him out.

However, facing it for the first time at this moment, her mind was actually blank.

How could it be her little apprentice?

She was so flustered that she didn't realize that when she heard such news, her first reaction was neither rejection nor disgust.

On the other side, Zhu Zhihan observed Luanwu's face, and the last trace of luck was broken.

Zhu Zhihan took two steps back, closed his eyes, and let the tears fall in embarrassment: "Sorry."

She never thought of making things so embarrassing.

Zhu Zhihan raised his sleeves, wiped away the tears from his eyes and cheeks, turned his head and walked out of the valley, trying to keep his voice steady: "I'll go and give the flowers to the disciples of the Hehuan Sect outside."

Then there are some processes.

After winning the first place, neither of them seemed happy.

Zhu Zhihan was in a daze the whole time, and didn't look at the people around him.

"Do you want to go to the Holy Land now?" Yueyue asked.

Zhu Zhihan was still a little dazed, Luanwu replied: "Yes."

Zhu Zhihan listened to Luanwu's voice, no matter how he listened, he felt a kind of indifference inside.

She felt even worse.

A disciple of the Hehuan Sect took them to another place, and presented two pieces of black silk: "Please cover your eyes, both of you."

They were blindfolded and taken to the holy place.

The secrecy of the Hehuan sect is very good.

Zhu Zhihan could only hear the sound of footsteps around him and a little wind.

After a while, Hehuanzong also blocked their ears.

This feeling of not being able to perceive anything is really uncomfortable, but fortunately, Miss System is with her.

"Miss System, it seems like you haven't come out for a long time."

Miss System said: [Because I am doing some other things. 】

"Huh, for example?"

[For example, to cause some trouble to some people in this world. 】

Miss System hesitated to speak: [Why did you treat her...]

After a while, he said again: [When? 】

From Miss System's voice, Zhu Zhihan heard three points of disbelief and seven points of confusion.

Her depressed heart suddenly felt a little relieved, and she wanted to laugh: "What's wrong, can't I? I've been married for a long time, isn't it normal to like someone?"

Miss System was subtly persuaded: [That's right. 】

[Then what are you going to do next? 】

"What else can I do?" Zhu Zhihan exhaled, "She must not want to see me anymore, I have to keep a distance from her... just in time, the heroine appeared, and when the matter of the heroine is settled, the knife The hidden danger between Zong and her is resolved..."

Zhu Zhihan pursed his lips: "Maybe we won't be in touch after that."

Miss System was silent for a while: [You want to leave? 】

"Ah."

It said with difficulty: [Is this the only way?I think Luanwu likes you very much, and the people of the Sword Sect also like you very much. If you want to stay, you can definitely stay. 】

"But..." Zhu Zhihan said, "I don't want to be so close to someone I like but can't be together, I will feel very uncomfortable."

She also needs face, and she will also feel embarrassed.

Miss System was silent for a long time: 【Luanwu is really nothing. 】

Zhu Zhihan was unwilling again: "Don't scold her, things like feelings can't be forced, and she doesn't want to."

Miss System: [... Tsk. 】

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhu Zhihan felt that he had arrived at a humid place, as if he could feel the thick water mist while breathing.

The person holding her stopped, and someone gently took off the earplugs and untied the black silk for her.

Zhu Zhihan's eyelashes trembled and he opened them.

In front of him was a pitch-black stone room, not very large, a little cramped, giving people a sense of oppression invisibly.

There are some wall lamps inlaid around the stone room, and dark orange candles are quietly burning, adding a little light to the stone room.

In front of Zhu Zhihan's eyes, stood a woman in white gauze with her back turned to her.

Looking around, apart from the woman, there were only two Hehuan Sect disciples holding trays, and there was no one else.

Where is her master?

The two Hehuan sect women beside him quietly resigned.

Zhu Zhihan remained calm: "This is the so-called holy place? It's not as rumored..."

"This is the Holy Land, but not the core of the Holy Land."

The woman in the white shirt turned around, and it turned out to be a familiar face from Zhu Zhihan.

"Miss Xiaoyu, is that you?"

Zhu Zhihan quickly thought of many doubts along the way.

Her first reaction was - she and Master were recognized.

But she didn't show it.

"What's going on here? You are from the Hehuan Sect, and you came to participate in the trial, are you here to hack your quota?" Zhu Zhihan pretended not to know anything.

"You are a very smart person, so you don't need to act stupid in front of me." Hua Wuying smiled gently, "I called you here not for such a bad purpose, so you can rest assured."

Hua Wuying approached, acting like a confidant sister: "I have heard about what happened in Phoenix Valley just now, that person is not worthy of trust, let it go."

Zhu Zhihan had a strange expression on his face as he listened.

This feeling is as if you are about to deal with the enemy, and you are about to take out the knife, but the enemy says: Come on, let's discuss emotional issues.

"……What does it have to do with you?"

"If you want to talk about a relationship, there is indeed." Hua Wuying lowered her eyelashes.

"Appreciate further details."

Zhu Zhihan waited carelessly for the next sentence, and heard the person in front of him say: "Think about me, how about it?"

"...?"

Zhu Zhihan's expression became even more strange: "Wait, wait, are you serious?"

Although she did feel this person's inexplicable enthusiasm for her during the previous trial, she guessed it was just a conspiracy or something...

But if it is not serious, this person has taken her a lot of trouble to bring her here, and there seems to be no reason to make such a joke with her.

Hua Wuying seemed to be amused by her reaction: "Of course, Miss Mu, I fell in love with you at first sight. Don't show such a disgusted expression, I will be sad."

"..."

"Speaking of which, is your real surname Mu? I want to know your real name even more."

Zhu Zhihan is speechless.

She hadn't felt this powerless feeling for a long time.

After a while, she said, "It doesn't matter what my name is, and I won't consider your proposal. The person who came with me, where did you take her?"

"She's really inside the Holy Land." Hua Wuying smiled, "That's a good place, she will feel bliss."

Zhu Zhihan's expression slowly cooled down.
