The sage was determined to die.

Ji Bai slightly widened his eyes.

It was obvious that although the girl now had the exact same face as the one he had seen before, her heart was like that of a completely different person.

Is this what she meant by "not being clear-headed"?

Or is it that so-called second personality?

Ji Bai silently observed the person in front of him. Her every move was extremely similar to the girl before, but he keenly sensed that this similarity came from the person in front of him's deliberate imitation.

Like a child imitating an adult, she was imitating another girl.

However, this kind of imitation is not for self-learning, but for replacement.

Before the other party could even notice the difference, Ji Bai keenly observed the distinction between the two.

No one spoke for a moment.

The examiner's gaze seemed to pierce through everything, gently sweeping over the crowd.

Her gaze fell on Ji Bai, and she curled her lips into a smile, saying, "You already have Wen Xin, and you're still not satisfied?"

Ji Bai concealed the strangeness in his eyes. These were the words he had discussed with the girl beforehand. How did this second personality know them?

He said calmly, "I'm exceptionally talented; getting a second one wouldn't be a problem, would it?"

The examiner gave a very soft chuckle.

She lifted her eyelids and silently repeated four words to him: The second one?

Ji Bai raised an eyebrow and suppressed the flutter in his heart.

The other person didn't say much, lazily imitating the previous girl, looking very relaxed, but no one dared to ignore her.

She said to the crowd, "I'm just a gatekeeper. If you want something, just come and get it yourself, pay the price."

Before long, she pulled out a black box from somewhere and fiddled with it, saying, "There's someone inside who's working very hard to obtain a top-grade literary essence."

Chen Ji spoke first: "I want to participate in the assessment of superior literary talent."

The examiner looked at him with a displeased expression.

Chen Ji was stunned for a moment, then belatedly realized something and stiffly said, "...Teacher."

The examiner then regained his smile, speaking intelligently and gently, and slowly said, "That's more like it. But you've already lost one of your literary talents, haven't you? For someone with such mediocre talent, even having a superior literary talent wouldn't be of much use, would it?"

Chen Ji's face darkened instantly, but he was already tired of hearing those words, and they still couldn't affect him too much at the moment.

He insisted, "I want to participate."

The examiner nodded, looked at the two brothers from Chu, and asked, "Are you two the same?"

Chu Xi nodded, then remembered his brother's instructions and was about to object when he saw the beautiful woman in front of him sigh.

"I think so?"

She said, "If you're looking for mediocre trash, don't come to me."

Chu Xi: "..."

She was still wearing her smiling mask, and pulled out a box from somewhere, saying casually, "Perfect, you all have enough people. Enough for me to explore the big map once."

After she finished speaking, she walked away alone, disappearing into the darkness.

The group immediately followed, listening to the girl humming an unknown song, unsure of where she was taking them.

At the same time, Ji Bai heard a soft, airy female voice, which only he could hear.

"Don't be so hostile towards me."

"You're so smart, why don't you think about what Cheng Yan has relied on to persevere until now?"

"You lied to her," she said. "Then I'll kill you."
