At first, Qi Mingchen thought that the other party was testing and doubting his true identity by mentioning these things, but later, Mu Qingdu continued to talk about many strange guests, and he felt a little relieved.
Now in his eyes, this person is a very low moral bottom line and does not seem to be a normal branch of the Shadow Pavilion.
"By the way, why are you wearing a mask?"
Seeing that he still didn't answer, Mu Qingdu continued: "Since we have become friends, there will be no problem in forming a team together for the subsequent trials!"
Wait, when did they become friends?
Qi Mingchen didn't understand the other party's brain circuit very well, but he didn't want to let this person talk on his own, so he said: "We won't form a team."
Thinking about it, you can guess that the purpose of Mu Qingdu's team was to find out his flaws through observation in danger. He didn't know whether this person was sent by the third steward or the president of the branch.
"That's a pity..." Mu Qingdu, who was rejected, sounded frustrated, but with a smile on his face, he didn't seem to be affected.
"Don't be so repellent... After all, I sincerely want to make friends with you, so I revealed my identity and name. Otherwise, who in the Shadow Pavilion would easily reveal their identity to others?"
"You know my identity and name." Qi Mingchen leaned on the tree and was not prepared to give face to the other party. With his current identity and strength, he did not need to make any concessions or compromises, so he didn't even bother to pretend. .
"Oh, you saw it, but I really didn't mean any harm. I was just curious about you. I like special things the most, so I made friends with you based on my own will!"
"..." Qi Mingchen remained silent.
Seeing that nothing he could say could move him, Mu Qingdu said regretfully: "It seems like you want to be alone, then..."
Just when he thought the other party was going to leave wisely.
"Then I'll stay by your side and chat with you!"
Well, that's a surprising statement.
This person has a very difficult character to figure out. He seems to be very difficult to deal with, and the interest in him is not small.
However, no matter what Mu Qingdu said, he was not prepared to pay attention to it. He could say whatever he wanted and it had nothing to do with him. This was not an intolerable behavior.
The whole day was spent accompanied by Mu Qingdu's non-stop talking.
Boom!
Just when Qi Mingchen was about to fall asleep, a huge drum sounded.
He opened his eyes and found that there were nearly three thousand people nearby, densely gathered here. He moved his sight to the waterfall, and saw the third steward standing at the top, using an unknown magic weapon, amplifying his voice and saying:
“Welcome our third-class branch of the Star Chamber of Commerce and fellow Taoists from the Shadow Pavilion to come to the Secret Realm of Asking Hearts for a trial!
The road of cultivation is long and difficult. We need to constantly cultivate and improve our strength, and the soul is indispensable in our cultivation!
In this trial, everyone's souls will be tempered, accompanied by opportunities and dangers. I hope everyone can use their potential and wisdom to achieve their own improvement.
We hope that all fellow Taoists will show their best performance in the trial, and we have also prepared generous rewards for the top three in the competition.
Finally, I wish all fellow Taoists can improve and gain insights in the secret realm, and add brilliance to their own spiritual path!
Now, the registrants will enter in an orderly manner, and the ranking of the competition will be in the order of leaving the secret realm, and the last one to leave the secret realm will get the first place in the competition! "
As the third steward finished speaking, huge cheers erupted from the surroundings.
The second steward on the side took out a magic weapon and input spiritual power into it. Then the magic weapon bloomed with green light, suspended in the air, and slowly flew towards the waterfall.
The magic weapon melted into the waterfall, and a magical scene appeared!
I saw the waterfall slowly opening, forming a transparent hole, and a green bridge connected to the ground for everyone to enter.
The second steward was checking at the entrance of the cave, watching everyone enter the secret realm in an orderly manner to prevent anyone who had not signed up from entering rashly.
Qi Mingchen followed the crowd and walked in step by step.
It is said that the physical body cannot enter here, and only the soul can truly enter the secret realm. So when the soul enters, where will the physical body be?
Just as he was thinking, he felt his consciousness begin to blur, and a strong sense of sleepiness came over him unstoppably. Qi Mingchen suspected that it was the effect of the secret realm, so he stopped resisting and allowed himself to fall into coma.
…
The old and majestic voice echoed in everyone’s minds:
[Play the trial, find and complete the current identity task, and those who achieve it will be promoted. 】
[Those whose identities are discovered and whose behavior does not conform to their identities will be eliminated! 】
…
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up quickly, I'm looking for you!"
Qi Mingchen's consciousness woke up due to a loud noise.
Opening his eyes, he found himself in a spacious, bright and beautifully decorated room with a very elegant layout.
Lying on a soft mattress, covered with a gorgeous quilt, the headboard of the bed is also carved with exquisite patterns.
The owner of this room is obviously rich or noble, and his status is extraordinary.
He sat up and suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his body. He didn't feel uncomfortable or weak. It was just that his strength had obviously become smaller and he became like an ordinary person...
At the same time, he discovered that his spiritual power was also missing.
Looking at the young girl dressed as a maid, he was not prepared to tell whether she was a person participating in the trial or someone who existed in the secret realm itself.
He stood up calmly and saw from the corner of his eye a neat desk with the Four Treasures of the Study on it. There were also several landscape paintings hanging on the wall. The bookshelf on the side was filled with books, antiques, porcelain, jade and other items.
There is a pot of orchid placed in the corner, which is well taken care of.
Qi Mingchen quickly deduced from the arrangement of the room that his body was originally a person who had read history books and had great taste and status.
The maid called him the Crown Prince, which explained his identity, and the way she greeted her was relatively intimate, without too much fear or distance. It also showed that he usually treats his servants very well, at least not coldly. character.
He imitated Liu Minghua's gentle personality before, showed a smile, and said calmly: "Don't worry, go freshen up first, and then go see your father."
"Okay, okay!" Sure enough, seeing him wake up, the maid's expression relaxed a lot, and she didn't show any doubts about his behavior. "My lord, you slept for a long time before you got up today. You almost scared Xiao Cui to death!"
"Maybe I'm a little tired recently. After I go to see my father later, I should feel better after eating something."
Qi Mingchen held his forehead and looked tired.
"You haven't had a good rest these past few days... Sir, please wait a moment while I bring a basin of water over."
After Xiaocui finished speaking, he hurriedly left the room and called other attendants to help him wash and dress.
Qi Mingchen looked at her leaving back calmly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the first level has been passed.
