'I see!' Marquis Tianyuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly apologized, 'Madam, you misunderstood me. I was just worried about your safety.'
Lady Biyue: 'Cut the nonsense. You said you would arrange for someone to bring me back to the end of the test. When can they come?'
Marquis Tianyuan: 'Don't worry. I have already contacted them. I will confirm it for you later. Wait for my news.'
The two of them asked each other for a while before ending the call. Lady Biyue then took out Star Bell and contacted Lan Xiang from Dong Hua Headquarters before contacting Miao Yi.
Miao Yi naturally looked surprised, 'Madam, I haven't been able to contact you. Are you alright?'
Lady Biyue: 'I won't die. The test is almost over. Don't forget about your hidden test results.'
She actually didn't need Miao Yi's test results anymore. If she combined the two results and took first place, then it would be troublesome. She knew herself. Was she the one who took first place? But she needed to use Miao Yi as a cover. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain it to Marquis Tianyuan first.
Miao Yi: 'Madam, don't worry. When you arrive at the approximate location, I will definitely point out the exact location for you. Oh right, when Madam returns from the test, I will immediately rush to the exit of hell to welcome you. '
He was already speeding through the stars. Of course, he wasn't going to welcome Lady Biyue. She probably wouldn't welcome him either. Instead, he was going to welcome someone else.
Lady Biyue: 'No need! Just look after your own territory. '
After that, she cut off the call. She didn't care if it was Niu Youde or Zhu Youde, or Xiahou Longcheng or Zhan Ruyi. She wasn't going to accompany these troublesome subordinates anymore. When she returned, she would find a way to change places.
By the seaside, the Guest of Haiyuan descended from the sky and landed on a treetop, looking at the beach.
Hai Pingxin, her light yellow skirt fluttering in the wind, sat quietly on the beach. She hugged her knees in solitude, watching the ebb and flow of the tide.
In the blink of an eye, a few months had passed. After that night, her mother never appeared again. Every time she recalled what her mother told her to take care of herself, she vaguely realized something. Although she didn't know much about the world, she was smart. However, sometimes being smart wasn't a good thing. It was better to be dumb. Because of that, she became quiet.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Hai Pingxin looked up abruptly and saw the slowly approaching Haiyuan Ke. A look of disappointment flashed across his eyes as he called out, "Dad!" and continued to stare blankly at the sea with his chin resting on his knees.
Haiyuan Ke walked to her side and sat down as well. Looking at the surging waves, he asked lightly, "Are you unhappy?"
Hai Pingxin shook his head. "No."
Haiyuan Ke: "If you're unhappy, just say it."
Hai Pingxin tilted his head to look at him and asked again, "Father! Where did Mother go? "
She had asked this question many times. Today, Haiyuan Ke decided to give her the answer. "Your mother left."
Hai Pingxin was a little surprised. His father was a man of few words. He had never seen his father smile before, which made him feel distant. Previously, his answer had always been 'I don't know.' But today, he actually gave him an answer. He immediately turned around and knelt beside Haiyuan Ke. He asked, "Where did you go?"
Hai Yuanke was silent for a while before he said, "Xin 'er, let me tell you a story."
"I don't want to listen to stories. I want to know where mother went. Xin 'er misses mother."
"It's about your mother. After you hear it, you will know where she went."
"I'm listening!" Hai Pingxin immediately nodded. She held her father's knees and shook them. "Father! Hurry up and tell me. "
"Since ancient times, the winner takes all. You know that we lost and were trapped here. Your mother only came here about two hundred years ago. She has another identity outside …" Haiyuan Ke told his father about Madam Biyue's true identity and the reason she entered Purgatory. He even told his father about how he kidnapped Madam Biyue to be his wife. Lastly, he said, "Your mother left because we didn't want you to be trapped here for the rest of your life. So, your mother left first to build a good foundation for you. Father will soon arrange for you to meet your mother."
"Wu … wu …" Hai Pingxin's tears flowed slowly. Her shoulders trembled as she sobbed. She didn't expect her life to be so strange.
Haiyuan Ke reached out his hand and gently wiped away the tears on her face. He said, "Xin 'er, I'm sorry. Don't be afraid. I will send you to meet your mother soon. "
Hai Pingxin shook her head. "Will mother go find her old man after she goes out? Then what's the point of me going to look for her? I'll definitely be a burden. "
Haiyuan Ke's expression was still calm. He looked at his daughter with complicated emotions. He whispered, "Xin 'er, do you remember why I named you' Pingxin '? I hope that no matter what happens in the future, you can be calm. You don't need to bear the grudges of the previous generation. Just remember to be yourself when you go out. "
"What about you, father? What will you do here alone?"
"I'm not alone. I have many subordinates."
"No, I won't go. Mother will be accompanied outside. I will stay here with you."
Haiyuan Ke pulled his daughter's head into his arms. He raised his head and closed his eyes. His face was full of pain, but he didn't want his daughter to see it. His other hand was deep in the sand. He clenched his fist and his arm was shaking.
He thought he could face what he had done calmly. Now, he realized that he was blinded by hatred. He realized that he was wrong. He was so wrong that he couldn't bear it.
"Look at what you've done!"
In the sky, Jin Man, who had been looking down for a while, suddenly turned around and scolded the people around her.
Shi Yunbian, Ao Tie, and Gongsun Lidao were all guilty. Especially Ao Tie, who came up with that stupid idea. He looked embarrassed.
Originally, they had agreed to discuss some matters, but after waiting for a while and not seeing Haiyuan Ke appear, they did not greet him or inform him of what was going on. Hence, they came together to see what was going on. After all, with their cultivation, they could return quickly. In the end, seeing Haiyuan Ke in such pain, they really felt bad …
In the sky, a group of celestial generals formed a vanguard team to scout the way. They opened a path for the people behind them in case of an ambush.
Lady Biyue flew out and quickly approached this group of people.
The general in red armor at the front glanced at her. Someone next to him said, "This is Lord Tianyuan's wife, Biyue."
Only then did the general continue to look forward, while Bi Yue hurriedly followed behind the group.
The vanguard team didn't break the rules by helping the examiners. They were just passing by. With the examiners following them, the examiners naturally didn't break the rules. In fact, without a certain background, no one could know the time of the vanguard team and keep up with them. There were many ways to find loopholes in the rules.
Lady Biyue wasn't the only examiner following behind. As the vanguard team moved forward, more and more people followed. Naturally, they were all people with backgrounds.
However, this assessment was different from last time. There were only a hundred thousand people participating, but only eight hundred headquarter positions were accepted. Once the number of people admitted decreased, it would be a little unsightly if there were a bunch of people with the same rank. In the last assessment, a bunch of people were killed, and even the entire family of Earthstar Lord was executed. Furthermore, the position of the main town involved more benefits than the position of the Great Commander. The Heavenly Court probably couldn't just sit back and watch as a bunch of people fell into the hands of a single family. If there were too many people with the same rank, it was very likely that it would provoke a strict investigation by Gao Guan. Therefore, the people in the tailing team consciously didn't ask about the results of others.
Many people gave up the idea of getting a good rank. As long as they could go back alive, it would be good. This assessment really showed those without backgrounds.
Of course, there was no absolute fairness. Lady Biyue received a message from Marquis Tianyuan. If she got the results, she had to make a copy and give it to a designated person. She didn't have to care about the others.
Just as the group arrived near the area where the assessment had ended, Gao Guan and the newly appointed Marshal Ugly Lu, Cheng Taize, flew over their heads. Seeing Gao Guan's appearance, many of the examinees felt their hearts skip a beat. Before the end of the assessment was announced, they didn't dare to follow any further and dispersed.
Lady Biyue found a celestial body to hide in and contacted Miao Yi again. However, it was purely for show. She said she saw where Miao Yi said and found it. In reality, she didn't want to take the risk to find it.
She could see that there were still people who didn't give up and were ready to intercept others. She didn't want to miss the last step.
Only when the vanguard team appeared and the dragon token rose to officially announce the end of the assessment did Lady Biyue contact Marquis Tianyuan again. She said she found the results Miao Yi buried and asked him to ask where the person who wanted to take the results was.
Marquis Tianyuan didn't want her to take the risk either. He asked for her location and said he would ask the beneficiary to look for her personally so she wouldn't run around.
As expected, not long after, seven or eight people wearing high-purity red crystal armor landed nearby on their spiritual beasts and looked around.
"Ying Xinglie is here. Is Lady Biyue here?" The leader looked around and shouted.
Lady Biyue, who was hiding in the distance, pushed away the boulder blocking the cave and came out. She floated in front of them and threw a jade archive over.
After the leader received it, he smiled and put it away. He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Marquis Madam. The higher-ups have ordered us to escort you back to the safe zone."
This was obviously Marquis Tianyuan's arrangement. Lady Biyue thanked him and the seven or eight people escorted her to the safe zone. Then, they turned back. They were obviously not satisfied with the results and had other plans.
Lady Biyue didn't want to ask anything after she arrived at the safe zone. She quickly flew towards the end of the assessment.
"Wuu! Woo … "Who knew that a sharp alarm would suddenly ring out from the assembly area in front of them? A group of Heaven Generals had already rushed out.
"Boom!" Then, there was a sudden explosion that shook the sky.
