"Where do all these exits lead to?"
When they came out of the illusion, they came to a circular space, which was surrounded by white. There were only twelve stone doors surrounding it. Except for the doors, the edges were blocked by barriers and they could not go straight.
In other words, they must choose a door to enter.
Chen Yue looked at Yue Qingru who was also studying the stone gate and said, "Qingru, which one should we go?"
After hearing Chen Yue's direct question, the other disciples also looked over, and several of them had anticipation in their eyes.
Along the way, they encountered many forks in the road, but all the choices chosen by Yue Qingru were correct ones. Otherwise, they were tests of various human natures by the illusion.
"Ah, this..." Yue Qingru touched her nose slightly embarrassedly and glanced at Lu Li in the distance.
Others thought that Yue Qingru relied on Qi Men Dun Jia or something to choose the correct route, but only she herself knew that she was completely relying on guessing.
Before setting off, He Qing repeatedly reminded Yue Qingru to take good care of Lu Li and try not to let Lu Li get into danger. Although Yue Qingru was unwilling, she listened to her master and held Lu Li's hand throughout the journey.
But she was still resentful, so when she came to a fork in the road, as long as she felt that Lu Li wanted to go left, she would go right. If Lu Li chose up, she would choose down, just to go against him.
But Yue Qingru didn't expect that her luck would be so good and she guessed everything right.
But now, there are twelve doors here. You have to be in cahoots with God to choose the right one, right?
Thinking of this, Yue Qingru grinned embarrassedly: "I was just guessing before."
Everyone: ...
"What?" A disciple from Yuheng Mountain complained, "I thought your Yaoguang Sect was so great, but it turns out you were just lying?"
These disciples of Yuheng Mountain and Yue Qingru had been enemies for a long time. On the day when He Qing was transcending his tribulation, the disciple that Yue Qingru beat up outside the classroom was from Yuheng Mountain.
Yue Qingru raised her chin and directly counterattacked: "I guessed it, so what? I guessed it right, if you have the guts, guess one more?"
Those Yuheng Mountain disciples had been able to endure their dissatisfaction with Yue Qingru and walk with her, completely thinking that they could rely on Yue Qingru to easily get out of the illusion. Now that it is almost over, and when they heard her say that it was just luck, they naturally sneered.
The disciple said, "You have two new disciples in the Yaoguang Sect. One is like a reckless man who refined the ugliest magic weapon in history. The other is even more useless. He didn't even know how to use the magic weapon he refined. He has been useless all the way here. He is just a burden."
Yue Qingru glared at him. If he called Lu Li a burden, that was fine. But if he called her a reckless man, she would not tolerate it. She rushed up and started fighting with the disciple. Several people from Yuheng Mountain also rushed forward. Yue Qingru was outnumbered at once.
Chen Yue wanted to go up to help, but was squeezed out by the people from Yuheng Mountain. He had no choice but to look for Lu Li. After all, Lu Li and Yue Qingru were fellow disciples, so he would not let Yue Qingru suffer, right?
But when he found Lu Li sitting at the edge -
Well, he was just resting his eyes as if nothing had happened to him...
"Okay, stop fighting!" Seeing the noise getting louder and louder, a disciple from Kaiyang Palace finally stood up and advised: "The immortal masters are watching us. If you make such a fuss, be careful that you will be sent down the mountain after the assessment."
These words were intimidating, and the people who were fighting in a group finally separated.
Apart from the Round Light Technique, the four sect leaders who saw this scene all looked unhappy, only He Qing smiled secretly, and silently praised Yue Qingru in his heart: He is worthy of being my disciple, he can beat several people alone and still be able to beat the opponents into this state, well done!
In the illusion, Yue Qingru wiped the blood from her nose fiercely, spat at the bruised and swollen Yuheng Mountain disciples, and angrily found and sat down next to Lu Li.
She asked reluctantly in a low voice: "Hey, which door do you think we should go through?"
After what happened just now, Yue Qingru also realized that they would not be able to walk together in the future. Even if she looked down on Lu Li, she promised her master to take care of him, and the two of them must not be separated.
Lu Li slowly opened his eyes, glanced at her with a half-smile, and said calmly: "If I tell you, will you leave?"
"…"
Fortunately, Lu Li did not hesitate too much. He stood up slowly and walked directly towards the stone gate in the southwest direction.
Lu Li felt that his patience was almost exhausted by these young brats. He could have walked through this illusion with his eyes closed, but under the "discussion" of this group of idiots, it took him nearly five hours.
If he hadn't known that Yue Qingru liked to argue with him and eliminated the wrong options for Yue Qingru, who knows how long it would have dragged on.
Thinking of this, Lu Li couldn't help but want to catch He Qing and talk to him in a sarcastic way, saying that he wanted the half-demon to protect him, but in fact he didn't want him to have the chance to practice his skills so as not to expose his identity.
ridiculous.
The other new disciples saw Lu Li walking leisurely towards the stone gate and looked at each other, not knowing whether to follow him.
If she followed Yue Qingru, at least she could say it was because of her good luck. But if she followed Lu Li, who made no contribution throughout the whole process, wouldn't that be too rash?
Yue Qingru wanted to talk but stopped herself. She didn't quite believe Lu Li's judgment, but she had no idea at the moment and was unwilling to go with the people from Yuheng Mountain, so she could only follow reluctantly.
Chen Yue looked left and right, thought it over again and again, and finally decided to follow the Yaoguang Sect, which had always been on good terms with Tianxuan Mountain, and trotted after them.
After a moment of silence in the space, one day a new disciple of Shushan stepped out, scratching his head and saying, "Let me try?"
After all, Tianshu Mountain is an expert in the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams and Barriers. Even though this guy is also a novice, at this point, all they can do is let him try.
The new disciple took out a compass and looked around while muttering: "Qian Gua represents heaven, which is located in the south. Zhen Gua represents thunder, which is in the east..." After analyzing it, the disciple pointed to the door in the northwest corner and said: "From this perspective, this is Dui Gua. Dui symbolizes marshland, so it may be the exit."
A group of young disciples were overjoyed when they heard what he said, and immediately rushed to the stone gate in the northwest corner.
The Tianshushan disciple said with a headache: "Wait a minute, if this is wrong, won't it be blamed on me later?"
The disciples of Yuheng Mountain felt vaguely that this was a rebuke to them, so after discussing it, they said firmly, "Don't worry, we will choose another route."
※
After entering the door, Lu Li and others had a smooth journey all the way out of a cave. There was a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the cave. It was He Qing holding a Yiying. He was standing on the only path and looking at them with a smile.
He Qing said with satisfaction: "You have passed this preliminary assessment. You did a great job."
As soon as Yue Qingru saw He Qing, he immediately smiled and ran over happily, shouting, "Master! Are you here to pick us up?"
