Mining escaped while Yinghao was distracted. She moved quickly, leaped like flying, and returned to the room after a few ups and downs. She closed the window and took a long breath, took out the remaining Dixing Pill from her pocket and drank it.
"Now, everything should be safe." She quickly changed her clothes and lay on the couch to get ready to fall asleep.
At this time, Ying Hao on the other side was thoughtful.
"The entrance to the palace is tightly guarded. How did she get in?" He paused for a moment. "Could it be that she got into the recruiting team? That would make sense."
What is her purpose here? It's so elusive.
His eyes were sharp, and Mining's fallen hairband was tightly held in his hand.
In the morning, the sun rises.
The egret was flapping outside Mining's door early after waking up from sleep.
"Qingli, are you up?"
After what happened last night, Mining couldn't sleep well. But the sound of the egret flapping was too loud and woke her up. "Are you afraid that no one in this building can hear you?" Mining turned around and yawned.
"Aren't I afraid that you will oversleep?" Bailu smiled and closed the door.
He whispered: "How was last night?"
"I was discovered by Ying Hao on the way to inquire. Fortunately, I escaped from him." Mining recalled the experience of last night carefully.
"He won't find us, right?" Bailu was worried. If he was discovered, all his efforts would be wasted.
"No, I just discovered that you can't use magic after taking the Dixing Pill. Once used, it will be ineffective."
"I see."
The two looked at each other and nodded.
"Then I'll leave first. I'll wait for you downstairs."
After the egret left, when Mining changed her clothes and went downstairs, she saw him queuing up to get today's breakfast.
"Today's breakfast is quite rich." She sat down and picked up her chopsticks to taste.
"In Immortal..." Bailu realized that this was the devil's world, so he coughed twice and continued, "I live in Qinghuai Island and have a simple diet every day. I'm not used to eating this all of a sudden."
Mining looked at him and couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, eat quickly."
"Good morning, everyone." There was another examiner who was tall and thin.
"The equestrian test this round is about, look ahead." The examiner pointed them in the direction, "Did you see these rows of scarecrows?" There were targets hung on the scarecrows.
"Today's test is archery on horseback."
"This has greatly increased the difficulty." The surrounding demons were discussing.
"I don't know if I'm sure." They were all worried that they would be kicked off.
"Don't worry, everyone. Even if you can't pass today's test, there is still a retest waiting for you."
"Retest? Can I stay one more day?" Bailu was overjoyed. He was not good at archery to begin with. What if Mining couldn't pass this test and stayed alone in the palace?
"It's true. We will return to the fairy world immediately after finishing the operation tonight." She said very quietly, for fear that other demons would know.
The egret hummed.
"There are five horses in the field. In each round, five people will take the test. The top three will advance to the next round. Next, everyone will come to this box to draw lots randomly. From the numbers drawn, I will conduct the test according to numbers one to five. Everyone should remember the number you drew to prevent it from being passed."
The demons were lined up in front of the big box on the table, waiting for the draw.
"Start the drawing of lots." The demons in the queue couldn't see the drawing of lots in front of them, so they swayed from side to side and tried to look around.
They lined up in the middle of the line, and the egret closed its eyes and prayed silently: "Don't draw the number at the front."
"What are you muttering about?" Mining poked him.
"I'm praying, right? If I draw a number that's too high, I'll die if I'm not ready."
"Don't worry, it will definitely be okay," she comforted.
Finally it was time for them to draw lots. The first one was Egret. He took a deep breath and slowly stretched his hand in, tinkering with it. For a long time, he didn't take out a piece of paper.
"This candidate, have you finished drawing?" The examiner came forward to greet him cordially.
"I, I, I, right away." Egret blushed, and the demons waiting behind him all looked at him. He closed his eyes and quickly pulled it out randomly, then walked aside and held it in his hands, refusing to open it no matter what.
It wasn't until Mining finished pumping that he came to her side and said, "Let me see what your number is."
She opened the note and it clearly said number 57, "What about you?"
"I don't dare to open it yet." Before Egret could react, she grabbed his note and read it: "It's...the 21st."
"It's so far forward, it's over." Bailu looked at the number in her hand and cried without tears.
"Okay, okay, now that it's finalized, let's relax." Egret was still dejected, "There's nothing we can do about it."
What if the demons next to him during the test are stronger than him? If he returns to the fairy world in the future and other immortals know where to put his face, what will he do? The thought of this made me even more heartbroken.
