After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

Chu Qingyi was overjoyed when she saw that the next person was Lin Fengmian!

Yesterday, Nangong Li actually took the initiative to find her.

She initially thought the other person was there to mock her, but Nangong Li said instead—

Lin Fengmian was preparing to participate in the selection of outer disciples, and she was encouraged to seize this opportunity.

Although she didn't know why the other party was helping her, Chu Qingyi was extremely happy.

This morning, she carefully dressed up and changed her clothes seven or eight times before choosing the one she was wearing.

He just hoped... that Lin Fengmian would look at him a few more times.

At this moment, seeing that he did indeed glance at her a few more times, Chu Qingyi felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Lin Fengmian withdrew his gaze and was about to place his hand on the testing stone tablet.

Chu Qingyi suddenly spoke up:

"No need to test anymore, you passed."

After saying that, she picked up a jade pendant, held it in both hands, and handed it to Lin Fengmian.

Lin Fengmian raised an eyebrow slightly and reached out to take it.

When his fingertips touched her palm, he suddenly squeezed her hand gently.

Chu Qingyi trembled, her cheeks instantly turning red.

How long has it been...?

How long has it been since I had this kind of contact with him?

Smelling his pleasant scent and feeling the warmth from his palms, Chu Qingyi felt her heart pounding and her legs go weak.

If there weren't so many people around, she really wanted to...

The surrounding disciples erupted in uproar upon seeing this!

"What's going on?! Why did he pass without even taking the test?!"

"And...and why is the Holy Maiden blushing?!"

"Who is that man?! I challenge him to a duel!"

The crowd was outraged, and insults and questions rose one after another.

"quiet!"

The elder in charge of supervision shouted in a deep voice.

He was a member of the Chu family, and seeing his young lady in such a state, he was helpless.

She could only shake her head inwardly—Miss, Miss, your behavior is far too obvious…

Lin Fengmian held Chu Qingyi's hand, smiled slightly, and whispered:

"Thank you so much, Qingyi. I will remember this kindness."

He paused, then suddenly leaned closer and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Take a shower tonight and wait for me."

After saying that, he released his grip and turned to leave.

Chu Qingyi was taken aback at first, but then she understood what he meant.

Her face flushed bright red, all the way down to her ears.

Is he...is he telling the truth?!

Is he really willing to... accept himself again?!

A surge of immense joy welled up within her, almost overwhelming her.

Lin Fengmian... as expected, he still has his own methods!

At this moment, Lin Fengmian, along with the group of people who had passed the first test, was heading towards the venue for the second test.

He ignored the jealous and cursing voices of his disciples behind him.

He was secretly making plans in his heart.

Chu Qingyi has indeed changed her mind.

Since she remains chaste and is truly sincere towards him...

Why not give her a chance?

Before long, Lin Fengmian followed the others to the second stage.

This is a wide bluestone square, surrounded by eight stone pillars with coiled dragons, their surfaces engraved with mysterious runes.

In the very center of the square, a huge bronze mirror floats in mid-air, its surface as smooth as water, reflecting the surrounding mountains and sea of ​​clouds.

After most of the people had arrived, two figures gracefully landed.

The first person was a woman.

She wore a moon-white long dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, and a light blue silk sash tied around her waist, outlining her slender figure.

Her face was stunningly beautiful, her features exquisitely detailed as if she were a figure from a painting, yet her eyes held a cold, aloof air that kept people at a distance.

She was like a fairy descending from the heavens, making one dare not harbor the slightest thought of disrespect.

A man followed half a step behind her.

The man was dressed in a moon-white robe, with handsome features and a gentle, refined demeanor. He held a folding fan in his hand, and a faint smile played on his lips.

He has a refined and approachable demeanor that makes people feel very comfortable around him.

"It's Senior Sister Xiyue!"

"And Senior Brother Yuheng too!"

"This is a direct disciple! I never expected to run into him here today!"

Among the crowd, many servants recognized the two and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Senior Sister Xiyue is Elder Xiao's personal disciple from Snow Moon Peak. It is said that she cultivates an extremely profound technique and rarely appears in public!"

"Senior Brother Yuheng is quite impressive too! I heard he's Elder Chen's top disciple from Tian Shu Peak, and his divination skills are unparalleled!"

"I never expected to see two of my personal disciples today. This trip was definitely worthwhile!"

Lin Fengmian looked at the two figures in mid-air and nodded repeatedly in his heart.

You could say that the Hehuan Sect's combat strength is the weakest among the three major sects of Zhao.

But when it comes to looks, there are probably few in the entire Southern Xinjiang region that can compare with the Hehuan Sect!

These two people in front of us are the best proof.

Especially that woman named Xi Yue, who was already incredibly beautiful.

And yet, he always had a cold expression, exuding an aura of unapproachability.

It makes people want to get closer, yet they dare not approach it easily.

Lin Fengmian looked at her and suddenly felt that she looked somewhat familiar.

This appearance... doesn't it look a bit like Chu Qingyi before she was developed by me?

She's like an ice queen.

However, Chu Qingyi's aloofness and arrogance were merely superficial; the one before her,

Yet, it was an indifference that emanated from her very bones, as if everything in this world had nothing to do with her.

Xiao Xiyue seemed to sense that someone was looking at her, and she turned her head slightly to glance at the crowd.

But she quickly looked away, her expression remaining as indifferent as water.

At this moment, Yuheng stepped forward, looked around, and said loudly:

"Since you have all made it to the second stage, it means you have decent aptitude. But while spiritual roots are important, character is even more crucial. Only those with a steadfast character can go further and further on the path of cultivation."

He paused, then raised his hand and pointed to the bronze mirror in mid-air:

"This item is called the 'Illusionary Heart Mirror,' a magical artifact specially used by the sect to test the character of its disciples. It can temporarily pull a person into an illusion to test the strength of their will."

"The test for this stage is—mindset."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Xiyue waved her hand lightly, sending a stream of spiritual energy into the Illusionary Heart Mirror.

A ripple suddenly appeared on the mirror surface, followed by a burst of blinding light!

A blinding light enveloped the entire area, and Lin Fengmian felt a blur before his eyes, his consciousness instantly fading into chaos.

The next moment, everyone in the audience fell asleep.

……

On the high platform, Yuheng looked down at the crowd trapped in the illusion below, smiled slightly, and turned to look at Xiao Xiyue beside him:

"Junior Sister Xiyue, how many people do you think will pass the assessment this time?"

Xiao Xiyue didn't even lift her eyelids, her voice as cold as ice:

"I don't know."

Upon hearing this, Yuheng didn't want to make a fool of himself. He simply smiled and turned back to look at the Illusionary Heart Mirror.

He was secretly making plans in his heart—

This junior sister Xiyue cultivates the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique. It is said that those who cultivate this technique must sever their seven emotions and six desires in order to achieve mastery.

That's why she's usually so cold to everyone, not because she's targeting herself.

However... I've heard that she possesses the Xuan Yin Body, and if I could cultivate with her, it would greatly benefit my cultivation.

Hmph, she'll be my woman sooner or later.

A glint of determination flashed in Yuheng's eyes, but his face remained as gentle and refined as jade.
