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

Within the illusion.

Lin Fengmian only felt the light and shadows changing before his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a void space.

All around was a vast expanse of white, with no end in sight and no breath in sight.

"Is this an illusion?" Lin Fengmian looked around, pondering to himself.

Just then, the scene before my eyes suddenly changed!

As the white mist dissipated, a pink bedroom with an extremely suggestive decor was revealed.

Light gauze curtains, incense burner curling smoke, and a sweet, cloying fragrance permeated the air.

Before Lin Fengmian could react, a soft laugh suddenly reached his ears.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw the phoenix screen in front of him slowly open, and several graceful figures walked out.

They were several beautiful women, dressed in very thin clothing, their exquisite curves faintly visible beneath the gauze.

Some swayed their slender waists, striking various alluring poses;

Some were sucking on their nail-painted fingers, their eyes sparkling with allure;

Others leaned closer and breathed softly in his ear, their breath sweet as orchids.

"Young master~ come here~"

"Young master, play with me for a bit~"

Her soft, sweet voice was captivating.

Lin Fengmian looked at the scene before him, but his heart remained completely unmoved.

These women, though they could be considered charming and beautiful,

But compared to beauties like Nangong Li and Chu Qingyi, they are simply not even a level below.

I eat delicacies every day; what I see here is at best a simple bowl of porridge and side dishes.

I just can't muster any interest.

But just standing there like that is pretty boring.

Lin Fengmian simply sat down on the edge of the bed, crossed his legs, and looked at the women with a smile:

"Come, come, all of you, come and chat with me."

The women exchanged glances, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes, but they quickly gathered around as instructed.

"What would you like to talk about, young master?"

"Young master, you are so handsome~"

Lin Fengmian casually pulled one of them close, pinched her cheek, and laughed:

"Your illusions are so fake. At least bring some real beauties. I simply can't bring myself to eat the likes of you."

"Young master, your words have hurt me deeply."

"What's there to be sad about? Come, come, dance for this young master."

Lin Fengmian then started joking around with the women in the illusion, their laughter never ceasing.

……

Outside the Mirror of Illusion.

Xiao Xiyue's divine sense swept across the illusion, observing everyone's performance one by one.

Some of the male disciples lost their composure as soon as they entered the illusion.

He pounced on those alluring women and showered them with kisses, only to be kicked out of the illusion the next moment and ended up kissing a nearby pillar with his mouth full of saliva.

"disuse!"

The disciple in charge of recording shouted expressionlessly.

The man then came to his senses and was filled with remorse, beating his chest and stamping his feet in frustration.

Xiao Xiyue glanced at the man, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes, and gently shook her head.

She continued scanning.

Some disciples had a little more self-control, but even they couldn't resist the women's soft, panting breaths close to their ears.

He quickly lost his composure and was eliminated.

One disciple after another was kicked out of the illusion, their cries of regret echoing throughout the room.

The number of people still in the illusion quickly decreased.

Xiao Xiyue's gaze swept over a petite man with fair skin.

The man looked at the alluring woman before him.

His face was full of disgust, and he even took a few steps back to keep his distance from them.

"She does have some composure," Xiao Xiyue thought to herself, nodding in approval.

She was about to withdraw her divine sense when she suddenly realized something.

Suddenly, he directed his consciousness to another corner of the illusion.

The next moment, she froze.

There was a handsome man sitting casually on the edge of the bed, playfully wrestling with several charming women!

He would pinch this person's cheek one minute, and pat that person's shoulder the next.

He laughed without a care in the world, as if this wasn't some kind of illusion testing his character, but rather his own backyard.

Xiao Xiyue's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

This person... is none other than Lin Fengmian, the furnace that Chu Qingyi used to release water during the first trial!

She was taken aback.

She knew perfectly well how this person had passed the first test.

He's just a good-for-nothing who climbed to the top by relying on women.

However, Xiao Xiyue soon discovered something even more shocking—

Her cultivation technique actually started to activate automatically when she looked at this person!

What's going on?!

Xiao Xiyue was startled and quickly suppressed the strange movement of her cultivation technique, carefully looking at Lin Fengmian in the mirror.

It must be admitted that this person is indeed good-looking.

With sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and a cynical smile at the corners of his mouth, he certainly has some attractive qualities.

But Xiao Xiyue knew she wasn't the kind of person who judged people by their looks.

Could it be... the yang energy in his body?

Xiao Xiyue focused her senses and indeed detected something unusual.

The yang energy within this person's body seemed exceptionally pure, several times more concentrated than that of ordinary cultivators.

Pure Yang Sacred Body?

She suddenly remembered who this person was.

The only furnace cauldron in the Hehuan Sect who possesses a pure Yang holy body, yet is a useless person with five spiritual roots.

It turned out to be the case.

But soon, she shook her head again.

Even if he possessed the Pure Yang Holy Body, it wouldn't cause his cultivation technique to react so strongly.

This technique is incredibly profound; even the master couldn't fully comprehend it.

Let alone guiding himself. Maybe... it was just a coincidence?

She glanced again at Lin Fengmian laughing and joking with the women in the mirror, and snorted coldly in her heart.

lecher.

Those useless people who got in through connections aren't worth even a second glance.

She withdrew her consciousness and stopped paying attention.

If Lin Fengmian could hear the other person's thoughts, he would definitely cry out for injustice on the spot!

He hadn't used connections to get in; he genuinely had no feelings for these women.

……

Before long, the illusion ended.

Everyone gradually woke up.

"Two people passed the second round."

The disciple in charge of recording announced loudly.

A gasp of surprise rang out from the crowd.

"Two people?! Out of so many people, only two people passed?!"

"This is way too difficult!"

"Who are those two people?"

Lin Fengmian opened his eyes and heard the exclamations around him, which made him feel slightly relieved.

It's over.

He turned his head and met a gaze from not far away.

It was that petite boy with handsome features.

The man looked at Lin Fengmian, a slight look of shock flashing in his eyes.

He had thought he would be the only one to pass this time.

Unexpectedly... this person actually persevered to the end.

He gave Lin Fengmian a deep look and silently memorized his face.

"Based on the length of time each of you survived in the illusion, the selection results are as follows."

The disciple in charge of recording began reading the list.

After reading the list, he added:

"Those who pass the above examination shall become outer disciples of the Hehuan Sect from this day forward. The rest may freely choose to become servants or furnace cauldrons."

As for those who fail even the first test, they don't even qualify to join the Hehuan Sect.

My Hehuan Sect is one of the three major sects in the Zhao Kingdom. Even a menial servant is a highly respected position in the Zhao Kingdom.
