It doesn't work even if someone else feeds it.

Shen Shuangshuang nodded blankly.

"And you."

Chen Yin turned his head and ruffled her hair affectionately.

"If possible, I hope you can live your life well."

A life that has nothing to do with me.

Even if we don’t have to travel to that world together.

Even in that world I will never meet you again.

But in comparison, I would rather you be like an ordinary girl.

From school uniforms to wedding dresses. Find someone who likes you and you like him too. Live your life peacefully.

Chen Yin thought he could say these words naturally.

But when it reached his mouth, he just moved his lips and finally swallowed it back.

"...Ha. Obviously, I have nothing left in this world."

"But if I really have to leave..." He glanced at Wutang who was wagging his tail beside his feet.

I looked at Shen Shuangshuang, whose eyes were slightly red and sparkling.

"Sure enough, I'm still a little reluctant."

-

The next moment, he opened his eyes and looked calmly at the dim underwater palace in front of him.

Looking at Fu You, the woman in ghost clothes who was looking at him with a smile.

"congratulations."

"You passed this test."

One hundred and forty, sober

After a long time, Chen Yin slowly opened his eyes.

His long gaze seemed to have just escaped from a distant memory. After seeing Fu You's figure clearly, Chen Yin slowly sighed and smiled bitterly.

"...Your master really has a bad taste."

"Sir, are you dissatisfied with the content of the trial?" Fu You looked at him with a smile.

"It's not dissatisfaction. It's just that using people's inner memories as a test makes people a little uncomfortable."

Chen Yin did not delve further into the matter, but asked, "Where are the others?"

“It’s still under test.”

Fu You stretched out her hand, and the crystal beads in her hand flickered with a bizarre halo.

Through it, Chen Yin could vaguely see Qingying and her childhood Qingchen wandering the streets wearing ragged clothes.

Nan Xiaoxiang was a bit strange. She seemed to be in a dark cave, with tears on her face, as if she was crying.

...What could be Nan Xiaoxiang's inner demon? Chen Yin was very curious, so he asked, "Can I go in and see other people's trials?"

"Of course not." Fu You looked at him with a smile.

That's right. Chen Yin curled his lips in boredom.

But he suddenly discovered that next to these two halos, there was another halo.

"Huh?" He moved closer curiously, only to see someone who surprised him a little.

...the middle-aged swordsman who was holding the sword before.

At this time, the man was lying next to a small house by the lake, surrounded by a seven or eight-year-old girl with a bun on her head, who was lying intimately on his lap.

His eyes were very gentle and he touched the little girl's hair affectionately.

"He actually came in too?" Chen Yin was a little surprised.

"This man's name is Ye Lie. He arrived earlier than you. He started to take the test half a day ago."

Fu You said slowly: "Just looking at his appearance, the test will take some time."

"Did I come out too quickly?" Chen Yin asked.

"Although there is no precedent in the past. But from my guess, you are pretty fast."

Chen Yin smiled, but did not look proud. He just turned his head and looked at the crystal ball again.

...Everyone has something they miss.

There are countless memories of the past, and there are always some memories that make people indulge in them and unwilling to wake up.

But once you choose to indulge in the past, you will no longer want to face the future.

Although it is just a very simple truth, when you are really caught in a dream that is as beautiful as reality, very few people can break free from it.

Chen Yin was able to break free, probably because he really had no attachment to his past self.

At the moment, Chen Yin felt that Qingying had a high chance of passing. After witnessing the Mayfly Mountain with her own eyes, she should have let go of her brother Qingchen's worries.

But he didn't know about Nan Xiaoxiang. After all, Nan Xiaoxiang never told him anything about himself.

The only thing Chen Yin could be sure of was that man.

He will definitely not pass the test.

Almost the moment he saw the look in his eyes, Chen Yin understood.

He is the kind of person who, if given the opportunity to dwell on the past, would never want to wake up again.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Chen Yin, and Chen Yin didn't care whether he could pass or not.

He just turned his head and asked, "Just a question off topic."

"If they fail the test, will they really be released safely?"

"Of course." Fu You chuckled, "This formation is not a killing formation. If they can't find the opportunity, they will be released after a certain period of time."

"It's just..." She pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something but didn't.

...I knew it. Chen Yin sighed.

"Any additional conditions?"

"For those who fail the test, I will not stop them from returning. But I will not take the initiative to send them away either."

Fu You opened her red lips and said, "How to get out of the cold wind of the icy and snowy outside depends on your luck."

"That's the same as not saying anything!"

Chen Yin was so angry that he almost laughed. It was freezing cold outside, and there was nothing but the cold wind that could freeze his spiritual energy. Even if he went out, it would be no different from waiting to die.

Fu You's eyes were clear and she smiled faintly: "If you want me to show some leniency and send them out, that's not impossible."

"Sir, you just need to answer a question for me. If I am satisfied with your answer, you can handle the formation here."

Is there such a good thing? Chen Yin pinched his chin and said, "Tell me about it?"

"Sir, do you know what Tao is?"

Once you hear this.

Chen Yin almost suffered from PTSD and was about to have a myocardial infarction.

"……no."

He struggled to hold back the twitching of his mouth: "When I was on Mayfly Mountain, I almost vomited when I heard this question. Why are you asking this here?"

"Can't your master spare some of his problems from the mortal world? Why is he always thinking about your B Avenue?"

"All a cultivator seeks throughout his life is to achieve immortality."

Fu You smiled and said, "If you can break free, you will be able to transcend."

So Chen Yin pinched his chin and began to think.

"Then should I just answer one at random and try?" he asked tentatively.

"Of course. Any answer is fine."

"Then," Chen Yin said seriously, "I think all those who pursue the Great Dao have put the cart before the horse."

"Some people think that in order to attain enlightenment and seek immortality one must abandon all emotions and desires. I think that's nonsense."

"...The Way of Heaven is the Way of Man. I shouldn't try to comprehend any great way at all."

He looked at Fu You and said, "As long as I am transcendent enough, then I am the Tao."

Fu You's eyes flashed with surprise. He stared at him with a frown for a long time without saying anything. Finally, he chuckled and nodded.

"The Way of Heaven is the Way of Man... That's an answer that satisfies me enough."

"Perhaps, the person the master wants to find is someone like you."

She bowed gracefully and said, "I accept the loss. You can use this formation at will in the future."

Chen Yin was stunned. Is that all?

I just said it casually, but I didn't expect that this spirit actually believed it.

So he took the bead, held it in his hand and played with it for a while, then turned around and asked, "So, can I go and take a peek at the content of their trial now?"

"Unfortunately, still not."

Fu You said slowly: "I just handed over all the array authority I have to you, young master."

"However, when the formation was first established, the master did not allow anyone to spy on the inner demons of the trial-taker. I, the formation spirit, cannot do this, and neither can you, young master."

...Then what's the use of your formation? I can't take it away. Chen Yin curled his lips.

"Of course, you can let your companions out of the trial early at any time, and I can also send you out of the magic circle and back to the outside world."

"Then let's do this." Chen Yin took a look and saw that Qingying's eyes seemed to be slightly red and she was smiling with tears in her eyes. It was obvious that she was about to break free.

As for Nan Xiaoxiang and the man named Ye Lie, it is estimated that even if the time comes, it will be difficult for them to break free.

So Chen Yin didn't plan to waste time. He directly called back Qingying and Nan Xiaoxiang who were still immersed in the formation.

Back to reality, Qingying opened her long eyelashes, and there seemed to be undried tears in the corners of her eyes.

But her expression was very calm, just a little sad.

"Awake?" Chen Yin looked at her with a smile.

Qingying lowered her eyebrows and nodded slowly.

"Not bad. It looks like you've gotten over your brother's death."

"After all, I watched Ah Chen leave." She looked away, her voice dim, "There's nothing to miss about him."

Chen Yin said no more, but gently smoothed her messy hair. Qingying did not resist, and obediently let him do such an intimate action.

Then, Chen Yin turned his attention to Nan Xiaoxiang standing aside.

Nan Xiaoxiang was curled up in a ball, her body seemed to be shaking uncontrollably, her eyes full of struggle and sadness.

There was still a layer of mist in her eyes, and she was still not awake.

"Okay. Stop staring blankly."

Chen Yin walked over and patted her head without any hesitation, waking her up: "It's just a dream, don't take it seriously."

Nan Xiaoxiang slowly came back to her senses. When she gradually realized that everything that had just happened was just an illusion, she could no longer hide the loneliness on her face and buried her head deeply.

Seeing that she looked distraught, Chen Yin moved closer out of curiosity.

"Miss Nan, what on earth did you see? Why are you so obsessed with it?"

Nan Xiaoxiang pursed her lips tightly and finally just shook her head weakly.

"...Thank you, Master Chen, for waking me up."
