The sage was determined to die.

A hint of sarcasm crept onto the girl's pretty face. She glanced at Ji Bai, whose expression remained calm, and couldn't help but ask, "You know what they're trying to test, don't you?"

Ji Bai nodded, his expression unusually calm, but his words were utterly sarcastic: "Of course I know."

He pointed his finger at the two people in front of him, and as his finger fell, the two people were moved by him like puppets on strings, and his every word and action seemed to have been performed countless times.

"This is waterboarding. Looks like this little brother is in for some trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two brothers began to argue. However, after a short while, the younger brother finally gave in. He looked at his older brother uncertainly and said, "Brother, you won't take my life, will you?"

The elder brother shook his head decisively, his expression sorrowful: "How could that be? You are my own brother."

Ji Bai turned to her and said, "Is there any need to watch the rest?"

The girl gave a cold laugh: "Why not watch? The best part is yet to come."

Ji Bai counted on his fingers, his face expressionless, as if he knew thousands of prime-time dramas by heart, and said to her, "What's so interesting about it? It's nothing more than siblings killing each other, brothers killing each other, and people disregarding family ties for profit..."

He then changed the subject, saying, "At best, they might have a change of heart, realizing they were a beast after ruining their brother's life. But there's an 80% chance that nothing can be done to undo the damage... Am I right?"

The girl expected the other person to say these words, but she didn't expect their tone to be so calm, as if they had witnessed this scene countless times before.

"You're curious why I'm unmoved?" Ji Bai sneered. "Because I don't think they're even brothers. People who would harm their own family and friends are utterly worthless."

His gaze was dark and deep, like a deep whirlpool in the sea. He said, "To be honest, if the two brothers in the Chu family were to kill each other, it would be somewhat interesting."

The girl thought about it seriously and then replied, "It might really be difficult to make those two brothers in the Chu family kill each other."

Ji Bai thought for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Yes, it's quite difficult."

……

At the same time, Chu Ze and Chu Xi walked out of a room with expressionless faces.

Chu Ze turned his head slightly, seemingly somewhat surprised: "Such a simple test, it must just be a smokescreen, right?"

Chu Xi was still cursing and swearing, her eyes filled with anger.

"What kind of test is this? It actually forces us brothers to fight each other." Chu Xi kicked a pebble by the roadside and said, "And it's so tasteless, a few pieces of paper are considered punishment?"

Having inadvertently spoken his true feelings, he turned to look at Chu Ze. Seeing that the other party didn't seem angry, he said angrily, "Damn it! But bro, is it really okay for us to just give up like this?"

"It's nothing bad, just a small trap."

He looked at the river not far away, which resembled a silver thread that densely wove together everything in the area. After watching for a while, he suddenly said, "There's something in the river."

Chu Xi followed his brother's gaze. The calm water surface was without a ripple. He didn't quite understand what his brother meant, but still asked, "What is it?"

Chu Ze looked away and said, "I don't know, maybe it's a turtle."
