C8 Yan Qingmeng

"Bang!"

The entire room was sealed by the Scroll of Binding, and it was used to maintain a controlled state.

Xue Xiaoling pushed the door open and entered. The balance of the spiritual energy was immediately broken, and the flame energy on the six-star Rune Circle increased explosively. The cauldron was also affected, and the cauldron turned into ashes with a "bang" sound.

Looking at the black smoke rising from the cauldron, the long-haired girl clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth. She suddenly stood up.

She was filled with killing intent as she glared at Xue Xiaoling, who had an innocent and adorable expression on her face. She gritted her teeth and said, "Xue Xiaoling, look at what you have done! My Energy Replenishing Pill is ruined again!"

As the long-haired girl turned around, one could see that she was a very beautiful classical girl.

She was not very old. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was tall, had long hair, a standard oval face, and a pair of thin willow-leaf eyebrows. Her eyes were clear and bright, and her figure was curvaceous. Her skin was white and delicate, and she was a perfect beauty.

Seeing that Yanyan was angry, Xue Xiaoling stuck out her tongue and said apologetically, "Aiya, I'm sorry! Yanyan, I didn't do it on purpose."

Yan Qingmeng stroked her forehead and walked over. She stretched out her jade-like finger and poked Xue Xiaoling's forehead. She said angrily and helplessly, "I know you didn't do it on purpose, but couldn't you knock on the door before you entered the room? You have ruined me many times."

After scolding her for a while, Yan Qingmeng realized that this mischievous girl was still acting like a rascal who had been scolded by her in the past.

Yan Qingmeng felt a little depressed, but she was too lazy to scold her. She sighed and said, "Speak! Why are you in such a hurry to find me?"

After scolding, Xue Xiaoling quickly woke up from her passive defense state of "looking at my nose, and then at my heart". She laughed and took out the puzzle ring from the Interspatial Ring, and said excitedly, "Yanyan, I have solved your puzzle ring."

"What? You solved it in just three days?"

Yan Qingmeng was obviously surprised. This puzzle ring was not simple. She had spent a few days to study the pattern of the ring. Even if this girl went to find helpers, it was impossible for her to solve it so quickly.

Seeing that Yanyan did not believe her, Xue Xiaoling directly pulled her to a table and sat down, then quickly started to solve the ring.

In about ten minutes, she had successfully solved the puzzle ring. After another ten minutes, she had solved the nine small rings.

Looking at Xue Xiaoling who was proudly raising her head like a little swan, Yan Qingmeng felt that it was funny. She could not help but say, "That's great! You have solved the puzzle ring in less than three days. This is beyond my expectations! To be honest, who taught you? Other than me, there is actually someone else in the Azure Sect who knows the puzzle ring?"

"Nonsense, who would teach you? I figured it out myself. If you don't believe me, you can ask anyone in the Upper Court and the Lower Court."

Xue Xiaoling patted her chest and said confidently.

Yan Qingmeng smiled and didn't bother to refute. She smiled and said, "Alright, since you have solved the first problem, I'll give you the second one."

"Alright, Yanyan, just do it!" Xue Xiaoling was full of confidence and pride.

Yan Qingmeng held her cheeks and thought for a while. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She stood up and walked to the desk at the side. She took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. She wrote a question on a piece of white paper.

She turned around and handed the paper to Xue Xiaoling. She smiled and said, "This is the second problem that I gave you."

Xue Xiaoling took the paper and glanced at it. Suddenly, she laughed loudly, "What kind of problem is this? It looks pretty simple!"

Yan Qingmeng smiled and said, "That's right! Since it's so simple, I'll give you one more day to solve it. If you can't answer it within a day, you lose."

"No problem!"

After agreeing with confidence, Xue Xiaoling opened her mouth to say the answer. However, after thinking about it for a while, she realized that it was impossible.

"Could it be … No!"

"Could it be … No!"

"Maybe … No!"

At this moment, Xue Xiaoling felt as if her soul had split into two halves. Half of her soul was constantly answering questions, while the other half was constantly rejecting the answers.

Yan Qingmeng did not say anything and just quietly watched Xue Xiaoling, who seemed to be in a split personality, talking to herself.

After a long time, when all the answers she could think of were rejected, Xue Xiaoling was discouraged. She frowned and looked at Yan Qingmeng with suspicion. "Yanyan, this question can't be solved, right?"

Yan Qingmeng smiled sweetly and said slowly, "If you can't think of the answer, I can tell you right now. However, you will lose!"

"No, I can't. I'll go back and think about it first!"

Xue Xiaoling rejected without hesitation. She took the paper and ran out. In her heart, she thought, "One person is short-sighted, and two are long-sighted. Since this is not an unsolvable problem, I'll ask a few more people. There will be someone who can think of the answer."

...

At night, all the prospective servant disciples in the courtyard fell asleep. The sound of snoring could be heard from the room.

Lu Chen did not sleep. As time passed, the energy point of the exchange system increased again, and it became 9 points, enough to exchange for three first level Regeneration Pellets.

At this moment, looking at the 9 energy points on the upper right corner of the Exchange System Panel, his heart was itching like a cat's claw. He wished he could immediately exchange the energy points for pills to increase his cultivation.

However, refining pills required time, and he had to avoid being disturbed by others. It was not suitable for him to refine pills in the room with eight people.

No matter how anxious he was, he had to endure it.

The next morning, all the new servant disciples were gathered in one place to undergo basic training, and they explained the specific tasks of the servant.

The morning passed just like that, and the afternoon was still the same training. However, not long after they sat down, a servant in green came over to tell Lu Chen that Wei Qianxian had something to talk to him about, and asked him to go to the Azure Peak as soon as possible.

Seeing Lu Chen leave in a graceful manner, all the prospective servant disciples in the hall were filled with envy.

Last afternoon, Wei Qianxian had personally taken Lu Chen away, and he had gone for an entire afternoon. This afternoon, Wei Qianxian had called him again.

What did this mean?

It meant that Lu Chen was definitely a favored person, even if he was not in the past, it was definitely the case now.

It was not impossible for him to be accepted as a Hand-Chosen Disciple by Wei Qianxian.

Thinking about it carefully, this was also not impossible. After all, even if Wei Qianxian had retired from the frontline, he was still the honorary Pontifex of the Azure Sect. It was normal for him to occasionally accept one or two Hand-Chosen Disciples.

In any case, in the eyes of all the prospective servants, Lu Chen was definitely on Wei Qianxian's side. In the future, he would have a lot of benefits.

Not to mention other things, just the allocation of the mountain range tomorrow and the specific tasks of the servant would allow Lu Chen to gain a lot of benefits. He would definitely be able to get the best mountain range or the easiest task of the servant.

Compared to the envy of others, Lu Chen himself was a little perturbed.

He was wondering if the matter of him secretly eating the Ling Luo Orchid yesterday had been exposed. Could it be that Wei Qianxian was going to find me to settle the score?

When he thought of this, Lu Chen's heart was a little apprehensive.

'Damn it, I can't be so unlucky, right?'

As he muttered on the way, he arrived in front of Wei Qianxian's yard.

Although the Azure Sect was very large, Lu Chen had only been to the Azure Peak once. However, he had already memorized the sect map that was given to him yesterday.

"Wei Qianxian? Wei Qianxian?"

The door of the yard was open, and Lu Chen shouted twice before walking in.

After entering, he did not see Wei Qianxian, but he saw the daughter of the sect master, Xue Xiaoling, sitting at the stone table under the big locust tree. She was leaning her head on the stone table, looking dejected and lifeless.

"Lu Chen, you're here!"

Seeing Lu Chen enter, Xue Xiaoling immediately called out to him. Before he could ask, she said, "You don't need to call Wei Qianxian. I am the one who is looking for you."

'Damn, I was really scared. Did he really think that something had happened to him?' Wei Qianxian thought.

The worry in his heart disappeared. Lu Chen felt relieved. He looked at Xue Xiaoling, who was like a defeated rooster, and asked with a smile, "Xue Xiaoling, why are you looking for me?"

Although Xue Xiaoling had a high status, she was just an innocent and naughty little girl. Lu Chen was not afraid of her. As he asked, he sat down on the stone bench next to her.

Xue Xiaoling frowned and handed Lu Chen a piece of paper. With a depressed tone, she said, "This is an extremely difficult problem. If you can solve it, I will reward you greatly."

Again? Lu Chen was a little surprised. He took it and looked at it. On the paper, it wrote:

"There are two people here. One of them only speaks the truth, while the other only speaks lies. Both of them have a box in their hands, and only one of them has a treasure in it.

"If I only ask one of them once, how do I know which treasure is in the box?"

This is … a question of deduction?

Lu Chen was stunned for a while. He raised his hand and touched his nose. Suddenly, he asked, "Xue Xiaoling, the reward you mentioned just now, what do you mean?"

"Ah?"

Xue Xiaoling was stunned. She opened her watery blue eyes wide and seemed to be at a loss.

The reward that she mentioned was just a casual remark. In fact, she had never thought of this question at all.

Lu Chen also saw it at this time. He looked a little dissatisfied, "Xue Xiaoling, you didn't say it casually just now, did you?"

"Of course not."

Xue Xiaoling blushed and quickly denied, "I … I have money. If you can help me solve this problem, I can give you money."

Oh? Payment service? Alright, then tell me, how much can you pay me?" Lu Chen looked like he was going to break the pot and ask for the answer.

"Ah?"

Xue Xiaoling was stumped again and did not say anything.

She had never met anyone who dared to ask for money from her so blatantly. As the daughter of the Azure Sect's Sect Master, in the past, whenever she spoke, people would rush over to help her. It was the first time she had met someone like Lu Chen who clearly stated that he wanted to repay her.
