"But, I can read your fate." Ling Xian teased.
"I am a beauty. Everyone who pursues me is like fish in a river. I don't need you to read my fate." The young girl pouted.
"Hehe, if she doesn't need it, I do."
The young man in black smiled. He finally understood. Though Ling Xian wasn't an expert in physiognomy, he knew a thing or two.
Therefore, he really wanted Ling Xian to read his fate.
"Let me see."
Ling Xian faintly grinned and moved his fingers. His expression turned a little strange.
This made the young man in black's heart drop. He asked carefully, "Could it be that I don't have a companion in my life?"
"That's not it."
Ling Xian glanced at the young man in black and then at the young girl. He smiled, "You two are destined to be together."
"Me and him?" The young girl was startled. Then, she said in disdain, "What a joke. You are trying to trick me again, you liar."
The young man in black was stunned as well. He stared at the beautiful young girl and his heart skipped a beat.
"Like I said, it's up to you whether you want to believe me or not."
Ling Xian grinned. His physiognomy was not omnipotent. He could only tell that the two of them were destined to be together. Whether or not they end up together was up to God's will.
"Hmmph, I understand now. You are a liar."
The young girl hissed and glared at the young man, "How is he worthy of being my companion?"
"Love is the hardest to understand."
Ling Xian smiled and shifted his gaze to the young man, "I have given you the opportunity. Whether or not you can grasp it is up to you."
"Thank you for your advice." The young man bowed down to Ling Xian. When he looked at the young girl again, his gaze turned heated.
This caused the young girl to shiver, and she said, "Stay away from me, or else I'll break your legs."
Hearing this, the young man bitterly chuckled. However, the heat in his eyes did not diminish.
Seeing this, Ling Xian shook his head. He then closed his eyes to rest and waited in peace.
The young girl and the young man didn't leave either. They waited with Ling Xian.
Time passed by quietly.
Half a month later, a solemn voice echoed throughout the cave, brightening Ling Xian's eyes.
"The trial has ended. All trial takers must rush to the exit within a day. There will be no waiting after that."
Hearing this, Ling Xian stood up, "Let's go. Take me to the exit."
"Please follow me," the young man replied. Then, he flew towards the exit.
Ling Xian and the young girl followed closely behind.
The next morning, the three of them arrived at the exit.
This place was already packed with people. Some of them had joyful expressions, while others had mournful expressions.
At the front of the crowd stood a black-robed old man. He was as heavy as a mountain and as terrifying as a ghost.
No one dared to approach him within thirty meters of where he stood. Obviously, he was an unreachable great figure to these inner court disciples.
"This person is the elder in charge of the trial." The young man whispered and stared at Ling Xian, wanting to see if there was any change in his expression.
Unfortunately, the young man was disappointed.
Ling Xian was as calm as ever, without a single ripple of emotion.
The old man was only a cultivator of the sixth realm. How could this little bit of strength move him?
"It's almost time. Those who don't show up will fail the trial."
The elder was arrogant and aloof. He glanced around and said, "Line up and come here to register."
Hearing this, everyone quieted down. They lined up and walked towards the elder one by one.
Ling Xian did the same.
He was at the back of the line. In front of him were the young man and the young girl.
Just like that, the registration proceeded in an orderly manner.
When someone handed in a lot of tokens, there was a wave of exclamations. When someone didn't hand in a token, there was a wave of hisses.
Among them, the most were nine tokens.
This number caused everyone to exclaim in shock, because if nothing unexpected happened, then the person who possessed nine command medallions was sufficient to obtain the crown of champion.
However, just as that person was ecstatic, it was the young man in black's turn.
Holding the 12 tokens that Ling Xian returned to him, he pushed the person into second place.
This shocked everyone. They didn't think someone would be able to get 12 tokens.
The elder was a little surprised as well. He looked at the young man with approval, "Not bad."
"Elder, you are flattering me." The young man smiled and looked at Ling Xian gratefully.
He originally thought he would fail with zero tokens. He didn't think Ling Xian would return him 12 tokens.
Remember that tokens represented a reward. Yet Ling Xian gave them to him. Naturally, he was thankful.
What he didn't know was that Ling Xian didn't care about the reward at all.
Therefore, he only left one token to ensure he could pass.
"12 tokens. If there are no surprises, he will be the winner for sure."
Everyone discussed and thought that the young man would for sure be the winner.
"The winner is mine." The young girl smiled proudly and took out more than 20 tokens. Everyone was stunned.
"What the! More than 20 tokens? That is far too aggressive. "
"Who is this woman? I have never seen her before. "
"She is amazing. The winner can become a direct disciple. She may even be chosen by the ancestors!"
Everyone exclaimed in awe. Their voices were full of envy.
This made the young girl ecstatic. She also looked at Ling Xian with appreciation.
If it weren't for Ling Xian, she would've been dead. How could she have the glory she had today?
"Not bad. You are not bad."
The old man revealed a rare smile. No matter how bad the person who obtained the laurel was, they would still become a true inheritor. Their status would not be inferior to his.
Therefore, he couldn't keep a straight face.
"You are flattering me." The young girl smiled and retreated to the side.
Seeing this, Ling Xian walked before the elder and took out a token.
Everyone hissed at this. They all looked at him with disdain.
If it wasn't the young girl and the young man before Ling Xian, he wouldn't have caused so much hissing. But before him was a pearl and a jade, which made him look useless.
Ling Xian pretended not to see this.
A lion doesn't care about an ant's disdain. Therefore, he ignored everyone's disdain and asked, "Elder, did I pass the test?"
"You can say that." The elder's expression was cold and he didn't give Ling Xian any face.
Then, he shifted his gaze to the young girl and his face turned into a smile.
This sharp contrast made Ling Xian shake his head and laugh. He didn't think this person would be so snobbish.
However, he wasn't going to argue with the elder. To him, as long as he could leave the House, it was fine.
"The test has ended. I now announce that she is the winner of this test!"
The elder's bright laughter drew everyone's cheers. They looked at the young girl with admiration and admiration.
"Thank you, Elder." The young girl smiled.
"You are welcome."
The elder looked at the young girl warmly and grinned, "Very soon, you will become the seventh direct disciple of our House. You will rise to the heavens in one step!"
Hearing this, the young girl's eyes shone with anticipation. She once again glanced at Ling Xian with appreciation.
"Alright, come with me."
The elder formed a hand seal and a strange force poured out of him, twisting the space into a hole.
This made the corner of Ling Xian's lips curl up. However, just as he was about to leave, a cold voice arose and pointed at him.
"Elder, I suspect he is a spy!"
