Wang Xiaoke's eyes sparkled like stars, revealing an indescribable spirit and charm. Her gaze, as clear and warm as the melting snow in early spring, captivated everyone at first sight.

Luo He was shocked when he saw Wang Xiaoke like this...

I just felt that she was shining like the sun.

Chapter 18: The Woman Who Treats You Well with All Her Efforts

Zhou Xue remained slumped on the ground, her legs spread out helplessly, unable to believe what she was seeing. Her chest heaved violently, her eyes filled with shock and resentment.

He had thought his clay statue could block any attack, making him invincible in the trial. However, facing Wang Xiaoke's frantic and powerful attack, all his defenses seemed so fragile, like paper, vulnerable to a single blow.

There is no way you can win against a madman like Wang Xiaoke!

When Zhou Xue saw Wang Xiaoke loudly announcing his victory to everyone present, that smug smile deeply hurt her heart.

She secretly clenched her hands, her fingernails digging deep into her palms, causing a sharp pain. The pain seemed to awaken the anger and unwillingness deep within her heart. Her eyes became more fierce, but more of an emotion of unacceptability churned in her heart.

Unacceptable! Unacceptable!

Zhou Xue couldn't believe that she had lost to Wang Xiaoke in the trial.

Zhou Xue had always held herself in high regard, believing herself to be exceptionally strong, but at this moment, her pride and confidence were shattered. The feeling of loss and shame weighed on her chest like a huge rock, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Soon, Zhou Xue's eyes flashed. She took advantage of Wang Xiaoke's not looking at her and confirmed that Wang Xiaoke was obviously tired and had not recovered yet.

Got an idea.

She approached Wang Xiaoke at ghostly speed and quickly passed by.

"Huh?" Wang Xiaoke keenly noticed something strange. She quickly turned her head to look at Zhou Xue, her eyes full of vigilance and confusion.

"You passed this trial." Zhou Xue put her hands behind her back and took two steps back.

Although Wang Xiaoke felt that Zhou Xue was a little strange, he didn't pay too much attention to her.

Wang Xiaoke turned his gaze to Elder Ran: "Elder Ran, does this mean I can get the technique?"

Her voice was full of joy and anticipation, and her eyes were shining with excitement.

Wang Xiaoke has his own little thoughts.

That is to quickly bring the skills to Luo He.

Show off! Hehehe.

"Ah."

Elder Ran landed on the platform and said, "Although the way you passed this trial did not meet my expectations, and you broke through with force instead of cleverness, I still consider you to have passed."

Elder Ran moved his hand, and a scroll emitting powerful spiritual energy waves floated towards Wang Xiaoke: "This is your reward for passing the trial. It is the body movement technique [Earth Movement Technique] that I carefully developed."

Elder Ran paused and looked at the others below the stage: "Since this trial did not meet my expectations, I will continue to conduct the tests myself. Those who feel they have the ability and talent can continue to participate!"

"If you can pass this trial by seeing through the magic and the method, I will agree to his request to the best of my ability!"

As soon as Elder Ran said this, the surrounding Tianming Sect disciples were in an uproar. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Elder Ran, and discussions rose and fell, like a stone stirring a thousand waves, everyone was enthusiastically discussing the results of this trial.

"Did you hear that? Elder Ran actually agreed to help! This is a huge benefit!" A disciple's eyes flashed with disbelief, and his tone was full of envy.

"That's right, and Elder Ran is also a member of the [Heavenly Book Pavilion]. This identity is very remarkable!" Another disciple echoed, his voice full of deep awe and admiration.

"If we can pass the trial as required, we will have really gotten a great bargain this time. The members of the [Heavenly Book Pavilion] possess countless precious skills and resources. Elder Ran's casual guidance can benefit people endlessly." An elderly disciple said, his eyes full of envy and yearning.

……

"Thank you, Elder Ran."

Wang Xiaoke took the skills without stopping. Her face was full of joy. She didn't care about the reward that Elder Ran mentioned. She grabbed the skills and jumped to the stage excitedly.

Humph, she won!

She did what she promised.

Because the overloaded battle just now caused her body to feel severe pain, Wang Xiaoke couldn't help but gasp and staggered the moment she landed.

But the pain and fatigue seemed insignificant at this moment, and her heart was filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

Wang Xiaoke suppressed the discomfort in his body, raised his head, looked at Luo He below the stage, and ran towards him at a brisk trot.

Each step she took was filled with joy and excitement, as if she had forgotten her physical fatigue. Her red hair fluttered in the wind, and her smile was as bright as the summer sun.

"Luohe!"

She called his name excitedly, with an unconcealable sense of pride and joy in her voice.

"Here, I've brought it to you."

Luo He can see...

The red-haired woman in front of him turned her face slightly to the side, with only one eye half-open, looking obviously a little embarrassed. She stretched out her hand and handed the scroll forward.

Her face was slightly flushed, like rouge, which only accentuated her beauty.

There was a glimmer of expectation in those bright eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, making her look particularly lively.

Luo He was silent, his gaze fixed on Wang Xiaoke's outstretched hand, where there was a noticeable burn mark that extended directly to her shoulder.

Seeing these scars, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

He originally thought that there would be no woman in the world who would treat him as unconditionally as his mother, but Wang Xiaoke's performance at this moment really touched him wholeheartedly.

Has there ever been a girl who treated you well with all her heart?

Is her smile something you will never forget?

Luo He gently stretched out his hand and took the scroll, which was obviously light but felt heavy. His movements were gentle and careful, for fear of touching her wound.

Accepting the other person's kindness at this time is the best way to express your gratitude to the person in front of you.

Acceptance is the greatest recognition of the efforts of the person in front of you.

"Senior Sister Wang, you are injured..." Luo He's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his voice was low and hoarse.

Wang Xiaoke smiled slightly, shook his head, and quickly pulled his hand back: "It's okay, it's just a minor injury. I deal with fire often, so such a small injury will heal quickly."

After saying that, she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to continue visiting the Tianming Sect."

At this moment, Zhou Xue's somewhat sarcastic voice came.

"Wang Xiaoke, hurry up and leave. But you don't really think you won, do you?" Zhou Xue's voice was full of sarcasm and pride.

Wang Xiaoke frowned and glanced at Zhou Xue on the platform. She didn't want to pay attention to her provocation, but when she saw a jade pendant dangling in Zhou Xue's hand, her heart sank suddenly.

"Wait, that is..."

Wang Xiaoke reached behind him and felt around for a while, then his face turned pale and helpless.

Her fingers trembled as she fumbled around her waist, but the familiar jade pendant was nowhere to be found.

Chapter 19 Luo He feels it is not worth mentioning

Wang Xiaoke's eyes were filled with panic and anxiety, and she seemed to have lost her support and was about to collapse. Her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes revealed deep worry and helplessness.

An expression that had never appeared on Wang Xiaoke's face before appeared. Even though Zhou Xue had given him a hard time before and even though his body was covered in burns, he still looked like nothing had happened.

But now her brows were furrowed tightly together, tears glistening in her eyes, as if she was about to collapse in the next second. Her breathing became rapid, and her chest rose and fell violently, as if she was trying hard to suppress the panic in her heart.

Wang Xiaoke clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she seemed oblivious. Her body trembled slightly, and she appeared unusually vulnerable and helpless.

"That's...that's my jade pendant, give it back to me!" Wang Xiaoke's voice was trembling and anxious.

This is the jade pendant that Wang Xiaoke’s mother left for her when she came out.

Wang Xiaoke doesn't have many friends and has been alone since he came out.

She worked her way up from a small place, encountering countless hardships along the way but still managed to endure them thanks to the support of this jade pendant.

Whenever Wang Xiaoke encountered any troubles, he would take out the jade pendant and talk to it. As he talked, his mood would improve.

The jade pendant is a very important object to Wang Xiaoke and it is her spiritual sustenance.

It is also something that you absolutely cannot miss.

"What is your jade pendant?"

Zhou Xue smiled indifferently and shook the jade pendant, her movements full of provocation: "This is clearly mine."

"You...you guy!" Wang Xiaoke bit her lips and was about to rush to the platform.

A figure stopped her.

It’s Elder Ran.

"I am going to conduct the trial next. Please don't interfere with my process here." Elder Ran frowned, with obvious displeasure on his face.

Wang Xiaoke stopped and looked through Elder Ran at Zhou Xue, her eyes filled with helplessness and anger. She clenched her fists and waved them, but faced with Elder Ran's obstruction, she could only stand there powerlessly.

Elder Ran, a member of the Heavenly Book Pavilion, possessed a strong thirst for knowledge. He cared little for the dispute between Zhou Xue and Wang Xiaoke; he only cared about the smooth progress of the trial. Any interference was intolerable.

Zhou Xue knew her master's temperament well. She stood on the platform and looked at Wang Xiaoke smugly, with a look on her face that asked for a beating, as if to say, "What can you do to me?"

Zhou Xue's eyes were full of provocation and contempt, and she seemed to be enjoying the pleasure brought by this victory.

Wang Xiaoke felt powerless, knowing that she could not take direct action against Zhou Xue in front of Elder Ran.

Wang Xiaoke's eyes gradually changed from anger to helplessness, and he looked a little lost and confused.

How to do?How to do?

That jade pendant was a gift from her mother.

Go back to find Master or Sister Yu?

But she has never been one to cause trouble to others.

And if she left, she didn't know what Zhou Xue would do with her jade pendant...

If he really disappeared at that time, she would be really heartbroken.

Loneliness, anxiety, and fear surrounded Wang Xiaoke's heart like a tide.

She lowered her head, hugged herself, and her body twitched helplessly.

At this moment, she was no longer the proud phoenix on the podium, but a helpless little girl who was away from home.

Even the most stubborn person has some weak spots.

"Elder Ran, can I take part in your trial next?"

Luo He stepped forward to stand in front of Wang Xiaoke and bowed to Elder Ran.

He spoke.

Wang Xiaoke seemed to value the jade pendant very much, but it was difficult to get it back under the current circumstances.

Luo He knew it clearly.

We have to use some other more direct methods!

When Wang Xiaoke heard Luo He's voice, she looked up at the figure standing in front of her.

Some light gradually returned to her eyes, but there was more worry and uneasiness.

This is to stand up for her, but it is useless when facing Elder Ran.

"you?"

Elder Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo He, sensing the fluctuations in Luo He's body, and a hint of contempt was clearly revealed on his face.

A disciple in the foundation-building stage, with weak spiritual power, even if he participated in his trial, it would not help his research at all and would only be a waste of time.

Luo He felt the contempt from Elder Ran but he didn't care. He still stood straight with a firm gaze.

Because of being exploited by Fu Xueqiong, his spiritual power was weak and he looked very weak, so it was normal for him to be looked down upon. However, there was no wavering in his eyes, instead, he was full of confidence.

"To put it nicely, I've actually seen through the magic of the Earth Clone Technique when I was watching it from the audience just now."

Luo He paused and chuckled: "To be frank, this so-called Earth Clone Technique is nothing more than this, not even worth mentioning."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Elder Ran and Zhou Xue, but also the Tianming Sect disciples who were watching on the side all changed their expressions, and Wang Xiaoke couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Zhou Xue's face turned red and white, clearly angered by Luo He's words. Her eyes were filled with anger and resentment, as if she would explode at any moment. Elder Ran's face also turned gloomy, and his eyes flashed with coldness.

The other disciples of Tianming Sect looked at Luo He in disbelief. They couldn't believe that Luo He was so arrogant in front of the magic created by Elder Ran.
