Huang Quan: “…This is mandatory?”
“Will others experience the same thing?”
Words appeared: “No.”
“Figures,” Huang Quan wasn’t surprised by this answer.
She wasn’t the only one in this realm; there were others, including the High Priest. Putting others aside for now, the High Priest had a death line. If everyone had to know about Rong Mian’s life, the High Priest would have agreed immediately. But the person behind this hadn’t mentioned that point in their hints, indicating they hadn’t intended for anyone to find out, except her. As for why she was the exception…
She didn’t know.
And she didn’t want to be an exception!
However…
Thinking about the final level, Huang Quan held back. It’s just learning about someone’s life, right? For her brother, she’ll do it!
Huang Quan said, “Alright, go ahead.”
The other party: “…” Could you not look like you’re going to your death?
Knowing that it’s just making you watch someone’s life, someone who doesn’t know might think you’re heading to the battlefield!
“Wait!”
Just as the other party was about to accelerate the flow of time to show Huang Quan Rong Mian’s life, Huang Quan suddenly spoke, “Tell me about my brother’s situation first.”
They thought she was about to back out…
The other party let out a sigh of relief. Shortly after, a sentence appeared before Huang Quan: “He is safe and sound.”
“I hope you’re telling the truth.” Huang Quan looked at the words, enunciating each one, “If my brother is not well, then don’t expect things to go well for you either.”
“You can rest assured.”
The words appeared and then disappeared after a while. At the same time, Huang Quan noticed the passage of time in the realm speeding up.
…
Countless beams of white light appeared in a vast area.
Those who were pulled into the realm emerged.
This time, everyone had been separated upon entering the realm. As they came out, the first thing they did was to look for the people they came with.
Jing Chen, not tall enough, was swallowed up by the crowd. In this situation, it was difficult to find someone and just as difficult to be found.
After hesitating for a moment, Jing Chen used his spiritual power.
Ice appeared under his feet, rising swiftly. Standing on the ice, Jing Chen instantly towered over everyone.
Feng Jiuyuan, who had been looking down to find Jing Chen, heard a noise. When he looked up and saw Jing Chen standing on the ice, overlooking everyone, he thought: “…”
Alright, this is very Jing Chen!
Seeing Feng Jiuyuan, Jing Chen controlled the ice to move over. Once he reached Feng Jiuyuan’s side, Jing Chen jumped off the ice and asked, “Have you found the High Priest and the others?”
Feng Jiuyuan replied, “Still looking.”
Jing Chen nodded, “I’ll help you.”
Feng Jiuyuan smiled at this, “Then you shouldn’t have come down.”
“You were standing so high that everyone could see you. If you stayed a while longer, the High Priest and the others would have naturally come over when they saw you.”
Jing Chen glanced at him and didn’t create more ice. He said, “Stop standing around, let’s go look.”
Feng Jiuyuan clicked his tongue lightly and followed to search for people.
Although Jing Chen quickly stepped down from the ice, he had been very conspicuous while standing there, so everyone had seen him. There was no need for Feng Jiuyuan and Jing Chen to search hard; the High Priest, Nangong Qingle, and Lin Xu were already heading towards them.
“One is still missing,” Feng Jiuyuan said. “Huang Quan is not here.”
The High Priest said, “Didn’t see Huang Quan on the way here.”
Jing Chen added, “I looked around from up there just now and didn’t see Huang Quan either.”
Nangong Qingle and Lin Xu shook their heads, “We didn’t see Huang Quan on our way over either.”
“…”
The five of them fell silent for a moment, then Feng Jiuyuan immediately turned to leave!
Jing Chen quickly grabbed him, “Feng Jiuyuan, wait a moment.”
Feng Jiuyuan stopped and looked at them, “Huang Quan is stronger than all of us. There’s no reason for us to get out and for her to still be inside. Something must have happened.”
“You’re right, Huang Quan is stronger than us. If we didn’t encounter any issues, she wouldn’t either.” Jing Chen looked at her, his small face extremely serious, “Before we went in, that man said that no one would die on the third floor.”
“Look around at the people who came out. You can tell if anyone is missing.”
Feng Jiuyuan glanced around; the numbers were the same, no one was missing.
“Since that man said no one would die on the third floor, then no one will die.” Jing Chen said, “Moreover, he also mentioned that we need to give the correct answer to leave.”
“Honestly, I hadn’t given the correct answer before coming out.” Jing Chen continued, “But I still made it out, which means someone gave the correct answer.”
“I believe that person is Huang Quan. Huang Quan isn’t here, but the fourth floor hasn’t opened yet, which means she’s still inside the tower realm. It’s not that something happened to her; it’s likely there’s still something to do on the third floor, and she was held back.”
After Jing Chen finished speaking, the High Priest said, “I agree with Jing Chen.”
Lin Xu and Nangong Qingle remained silent.
Feng Jiuyuan thought for a moment and then understood Jing Chen’s reasoning, “According to what you’re saying, she will come out once the task on the third floor is completed?”
“Yes.” Jing Chen nodded, “Once Huang Quan comes out, the fourth floor should open.”
“Let’s wait.”
The High Priest said, “She won’t be in trouble.”
Feng Jiuyuan, hearing this, looked at the High Priest, “You seem to have a lot of confidence in her.”
The High Priest replied coolly, “She’s formidable.”
Feng Jiuyuan: “How formidable?”
The High Priest looked at him: “Huang Quan is not afraid of the Longyin Qin. How many people do you think are unafraid of the Longyin Qin?”
Feng Jiuyuan: “…” Can’t you give another example? Why must it be the Longyin Qin?
The High Priest, as if reading Feng Jiuyuan’s thoughts, said expressionlessly, “Using the Longyin Qin as an example is more straightforward.”
After all, everyone fears the attacks of that instrument, except for Huang Quan, who is completely unaffected.
Feng Jiuyuan had nothing more to say.
…
Time flowed quickly in the world within the tower realm. Huang Quan soon saw Rong Mian grow from a child into a teenager.
During his growth, Rong Mian remained much the same as when he was a child—still indifferent, and his relationship with the Rong family had not improved. The Rong family still did not welcome him.
However, the Rong family’s coldness did not hinder Rong Mian from becoming outstanding. Among all the Rong family disciples, Rong Mian was the most exceptional. Moreover, the people of Luo You City hoped for Rong Mian to become the next city lord to protect Luo You City. Yet, City Lord Rong had no intention of passing the position to Rong Mian. In fact, he sent Rong Mian away before the selection for the next city lord.
Rong Mian knew what he was planning, but he had no interest in the position of city lord of Luo You City, so he left without resistance.
After leaving Luo You City, Rong Mian met a boy who was an orphan with a black line on his wrist. Upon seeing the line, Rong Mian kept the boy by his side but never asked him about it.
After the selection for the city lord had passed, Rong Mian returned to the Rong family with the boy. In the Rong family, the boy displayed his abilities for the first time…
