After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

At the entrance to the test site, two conspicuous figures slowly entered the second test area.

"Thank you, Second Senior Brother, for accompanying me on the inspection tour."

Su Mingyue coughed lightly twice, and her pale face immediately turned a sickly red.

Lei Ziyue shook his head, his voice as gentle as if coaxing a child: "What are you thanking me for? We're like siblings."

After saying that, he looked at Su Mingyue with a pained expression.

Despite being frightened yesterday, he still volunteered to come and help when he heard that there was a shortage of disciples for the examination. How could his senior brother not feel at ease?

So Lei Ziyue came along too.

Su Mingyue's gaze swept past Lei Ziyue without making a sound, and she quickly found that small figure in the testing field.

She gave a barely perceptible twitch at the corner of her mouth, which she quickly concealed.

She then looked up at Lei Ziyue beside her and said, "Second Senior Brother, let's split up and patrol. I'll go this way, and you go that way, okay?"

Lei Ziyue laughed heartily and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After Lei Ziyue finished speaking, he carefully helped her adjust her collar before turning around and walking to the other side.

Su Mingyue watched him walk away, the gentleness on her face gradually fading. She turned around, feigning to survey the scene, and walked step by step to Luo Huanzhen's side.

Looking down at the small figure lying on the stone cushion, with dirty clothes, straw-like hair, and a face and arms covered in scars.

A resolute glint appeared in Su Mingyue's eyes. She channeled her spiritual power and secretly activated the silver needles hidden in her sleeve.

These silver needles are poisoned and are specifically designed to break through a cultivator's protective spiritual energy. Once they pierce the top of the head, they can kill cultivators below the Golden Core stage instantly, and no visible wounds will be seen on the surface. They will simply be mistaken for someone who has gone mad during meditation and died suddenly.

Su Mingyue took a deep breath, then reached out and struck at Luo Huanzhen's crown—

Luo Zhenhuan is waving the Ten Thousand Demon Banner in the virtual world.

The once-crowded inner demons gradually diminished, and what started as rushing at her at first sight became running away at the mere sight of her from afar.

A group of inner demons were chased by her like a flock of frightened ducks, quacking and fleeing in all directions.

Luo Huanzhen wiggled his short legs, letting out a strange, cackling laugh: "Little darlings, don't run away! I haven't had enough of my flags yet!"

The inner demons are running even faster now.

Who exactly is the inner demon?!

Just then, a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged up in Luo Huanzhen's heart.

This was an instinct she had honed over ten years under the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, faster than any divine perception.

She abruptly snapped out of the illusion and opened her eyes.

What came into view was a delicate, pale face, and a hand that was slapping down on her head.

Luo Huanzhen's pupils contracted, and the Myriad Demon Banner in his sea of ​​consciousness was activated with a roar.

The Myriad Demon Banner released its oppressive power, and black light exploded from the top of her head, shattering the silver needle that was about to pierce her skull into pieces.

Su Mingyue coughed up a mouthful of blood and let out a shrill scream.

She clutched her chest, stumbled back several steps, and fell to the ground, staring at Luo Huanzhen in disbelief, her voice trembling with shock: "How is this possible...!"

How could a child at the first level of Qi Refining possibly withstand a sneak attack from someone at the early stage of Golden Core?

Luo Huanzhen climbed up from the stone cushion and could barely look Su Mingyue in the eye when he stood on it.

She roared angrily, "Big sister! What are you doing! I'm taking an exam!"

The other disciples were still testing in the illusion, and only Lei Ziyue heard the commotion in the entire testing ground.

He rushed over upon hearing the noise and immediately saw Su Mingyue lying on the ground with blood at the corner of her mouth, and Luo Huanzhen standing angrily on the stone cushion.

Lei Ziyue's expression changed drastically. He rushed over in three strides and bent down to help Su Mingyue: "Zhenzhen, what happened?"

Su Mingyue's tears fell instantly.

Her eyes were brimming with tears, and her voice trembled as if she had suffered a tremendous injustice: "Second Senior Brother... I... I was just passing by her, trying to see if she needed any help... She suddenly attacked me... Second Senior Brother, it hurts so much..."

As she spoke, she coughed up another mouthful of blood, then shrank into Lei Ziyue's arms, looking as fragile as a porcelain doll that could break at the slightest touch.

Luo Zhen's eyes widened in surprise.

"You think I attacked you? You were the one who pricked me with a needle!"

Lei Ziyue grabbed Su Mingyue, looked up at Luo Huanzhen, his face ashen, his eyes blazing with anger: "You brat! You caused trouble at the mountain gate yesterday, and today you've injured my junior sister!"

He raised his hand, about to strike Luo Huanzhen with a palm.

Luo Huanzhen stood there, without dodging.

She looked up at the approaching hand, and at the anger and disgust in her second senior brother's eyes.

"Second Senior Brother, don't hit me..."

Su Mingyue suddenly grabbed Lei Ziyue's sleeve, her voice trembling with tears, and pleaded, "She...she might not have meant it. Orphans like her are always insecure and sensitive. Perhaps she lost face at the mountain gate yesterday and couldn't get over it, so she held a grudge and attacked me...Second Senior Brother, let it go...cough cough..."

She coughed and trembled all over, yet she still pleaded for the "attacker," like a fairy who repays evil with kindness.

"Zhenzhen is just too kind." Lei Ziyue stopped his palm strike with heartache, said in a low voice, then looked up at Luo Zhenhuan and said in a sneer, "Get out of the testing ground yourself."

Inspectors have the authority to expel anyone they find disrupting the testing environment or engaging in favoritism or cheating.

Luo Huanzhen's eyes widened. "I was busy testing people, I didn't have time to ambush anyone? You believe everything she says? You trust her that much!"

Lei Ziyue sneered: "If you don't believe her, then believe you?"

"You can trust me!" Luo Huanzhen's childish voice became urgent, his babyish tone even cracking, "She attacked me first..."

"Cough cough cough!"

Just then, Su Mingyue coughed up a mouthful of blood, which stained Lei Ziyue's clothes.

"Zhenzhen!" Lei Ziyue's heart was immediately filled with the girl in his arms.

He completely forgot about the beggar, the testing ground, and the explanations.

"Zhenzhen, hang in there! Your senior brother will take you to Elder Danhong for treatment!"

"An emergency has occurred at the second test arena, number 213. Disciple Luo Huanzhen... Junior Sister Luo has been attacked by a test participant and is seriously injured, requiring immediate treatment. We request the assistance of two fellow disciples on patrol!"

Before long, the two disciples who were waiting to take the exam arrived.

Lei Ziyue gave Luo Huanzhen a sinister look, then picked up Su Mingyue and strode away.

Luo Huanzhen stood on the stone cushion and watched him walk away.

The second senior brother's back is so broad.

Like a mountain.

This mountain used to protect her, but now it's carrying away the imposter.

He didn't even turn around to look at her.

Luo Huanzhen slowly climbed down from the stone cushion and stood on the ground, his chest heaving violently, his little fists clenched tightly.
