Was he happy?
Logically speaking, it was indeed something to be happy about. He could directly get the Immortal Token and pass the second round of the test.
But for some reason, Qin Xiao couldn't feel happy. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
Perhaps it was because of the tense atmosphere just now, he had already prepared himself for a bigger test. He had gathered all his strength and was ready to fight hard.
But suddenly, he was told that he had passed the second round of the test. This would make him feel inexplicably disappointed.
He had gathered all his strength, but he didn't have the strength to show it.
Of course, apart from this bad feeling, Qin Xiao still couldn't completely accept this fact. He still felt that something was strange.
Although there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, everything could be explained. There was nothing wrong with Yuan Yuan.
"Isn't this kind of luck a little too big?" Qin Xiao curled his lips and suddenly asked.
"Is it?" Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "It doesn't seem to be too big. Qin Xiao, didn't you also get a bronze ball from the Holy Emperor's emissary by luck? And Prince Zhang Yang, didn't he directly ask the Holy Emperor's emissary for it?
A bronze ball? "
"If others want to get a bronze ball, they have to fight hard. But you got it so easily. Isn't this a manifestation of luck?"
"The Holy Academy's selection will try to be fair and just, but luck is also a part of strength. Luck is very, very important."
"Anyway, I was just following orders. I don't know much about other things."
Qin Xiao nodded thoughtfully. What she said did make some sense.
Indeed, no matter how fair and just it was, luck would still take a certain proportion.
Besides, luck itself was a part of strength. This was something that had to be admitted.
Qin Xiao's luck had always been relatively good. If he really had such good luck this time, it would be reasonable. Therefore, it was also understandable. There was no problem.
All in all, there really wasn't any problem. But for some reason, Qin Xiao still felt a little strange.
Was he thinking too much?
Yuan Yuan's hand suddenly moved. Two fragments of the Immortal Token appeared in her slender hand.
Yuan Yuan directly handed them to Qin Xiao and said, "Here, Qin Xiao. Here you are. You have passed the seventh round of the test. You have seven fragments of the Immortal Token in your hand. With these two Celestial Writ Fragments, he would have a total of nine Celestial Writ Fragments.
You can integrate a complete Immortal Token. "
He looked at Miss Yuan Yuan Yuan, who was still smiling happily. That lively, cheerful, and innocent Miss Yuan Yuan Yuan Yuan.
Looking at the two shards of the Immortal Writ in her hands, the shards of the Immortal Writ that were so close to her.
This should have been a great thing, but Qin Xiao, he hesitated and did not reach out his hand.
The fruits of victory were within reach, but Qin Xiao did not make a move.
........................... to............ Xiao.............
.. something......
But what was wrong with it?
. Why did he have such a feeling?
The two of them were in a deadlock for a while. Yuan Yuan pouted and said, "What are you thinking, Qin Xiao? I won't hurt you. Take it."
"I treat you as a good friend. Why are you acting like this? I don't know what to do."
"You make me feel like I have done something wrong. You make me feel like a liar."
Yuan Yuan's words could really touch people's hearts.
This made Qin Xiao's heart involuntarily move a little. Thinking about it, he also felt that his nerves were too tense, and he was too nervous.
Everything in front of him was real. It was not an illusion or physiognomy.
If there was really such a great method that could make Qin Xiao unable to distinguish the real from the fake, there was only one possibility. It was the existence of an Ancient Sage.
Was there such a possibility?
There should be, but Qin Xiao did not think it was big.
With a thought, he relaxed a little. Indeed, he did not notice anything strange.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Qin Xiao stretched out his hand and prepared to take the two fragments of the Immortal Writ.
Perhaps sometimes, victory was indeed easier to come by.
It was hard to say whether one was lucky or not.
"No —"
But just as Qin Xiao's hand was about to touch the fragments of the Immortal Writ, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
His hand could not help but stop. He did not continue.
A strange light flashed in the depths of Qin Xiao's eyes. No, no, it was still not right.
At this moment, this thought became stronger and stronger.
But what was wrong?
Qin Xiao only felt that many thoughts came to his mind, and he felt a little confused for a while.
He felt that he had caught something, but he could not see through it. He did not know why he had such a feeling.
Qin Xiao withdrew his hand, frowned, and thought deeply. He tried to recall all the details since he came in, and thought about the many thoughts that came to his mind.
"Qin Xiao, what's wrong with you? What's wrong? Don't be like this, don't scare me. "Seeing Qin Xiao's appearance, Yuanyuan was a little anxious.
But at this time, Qin Xiao ignored Yuanyuan's words, as if he could not hear her at all, and continued to think.
"It's a test!"
Qin Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and a firm idea came to him.
This idea made Qin Xiao suddenly enlightened, and he figured out the problem that troubled him.
He had always felt that something was wrong. From the moment he saw Yuanyuan, he felt that something was wrong, but he could not put his finger on it.
Because everything here was real, at least in Qin Xiao's eyes. It was not an illusion.
Yuanyuan was indeed Yuanyuan, and her aura was not wrong. She was also alive, and there was nothing wrong with her speech and behavior. She was the Yuanyuan he was familiar with.
Logically speaking, there was indeed nothing wrong with everything, and he could not see any flaws.
However, Qin Xiao always felt that something was not right.
Now, he finally understood what was wrong.
All of this was actually a test. If he really took Yuanyuan's two pieces of the Immortal Writ Fragments, then he must have been tricked and failed.
"In fact, there is no Narcissus Palace Lord at all, and there is no such heaven-defying luck, and such a good thing has not fallen on me." Qin Xiao looked at Yuanyuan and said calmly.
Yuanyuan blinked and looked at Qin Xiao with a puzzled face.
It was impossible to act like this. It seemed that Yuanyuan was really confused by Qin Xiao. She looked at Qin Xiao with a puzzled face, and did not understand Qin Xiao's actions.
Seeing Yuanyuan's expression, Qin Xiao also figured it out.
"Miss Yuanyuan, in fact, this is a test for both of us. If I take your Immortal Writ Fragments, then I will definitely fail."
"So, I won't take them."
"You don't have to look at me with such a strange expression. You will understand soon."
"Everything here was designed in advance. It's nothing more than an extremely confusing test."
Sure enough, as soon as Qin Xiao's voice fell, a ray of immortal light fell.
The palace in front of them quickly disappeared and turned into nothingness. A door appeared in front of Qin Xiao and Yuanyuan.
At the same time, the two pieces of the Immortal Writ Fragments in Yuanyuan's hand flew up and flew to Qin Xiao and Yuanyuan, one for each.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao finally showed a slight smile on his face. He was in a good mood.
"Everything is as I have guessed. It is indeed a hidden test. I almost fell for it."
"Fortunately, at the final juncture, I managed to hold myself back. I managed to react in time and pull back. Only then did I understand everything."
"In fact, all this is not difficult. The difficult part is that the heart is bewitched, and it is difficult to walk out of the puzzle."
"If you can see clearly, since it is a fair test, and you have already reached the eighth stage, it is impossible for such a situation to happen again."
"In this world, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If there is, then you must be careful. Maybe there is a bomb hidden in the pie."
After saying this, Qin Xiao waved his hand and took the Immortal Writ Fragment. It was the eighth piece.
Just one more piece, and he would be able to collect all nine pieces and combine them into a complete Immortal Writ Fragment. Then, he would pass the second round of the test and advance to the next level.
It could be said that success was close at hand, and he could touch it very soon.
"Eh?" Yuanyuan's jade eyes widened. She blinked and looked at the Immortal Writ Fragment floating in front of her, and then looked at Qin Xiao. She still looked a little confused.
Clearly, she still hadn't figured out what was going on.
"I don't think you told me this? What's going on? Why can't I understand at all? "Yuanyuan murmured with a puzzled face.
Qin Xiao smiled. He somewhat understood the situation.
He asked, "Miss Yuanyuan, tell me what is going on. How did you become the Lord of the Narcissus Palace in the eighth stage? Moreover, you have been leading me all this time, as if you were telling the truth. "
"You are a person who does not know how to lie, but you have been misleading me all this time. What is going on?"
"Ah? What is going on? I, I don't know. "Yuanyuan shook her head, indicating that she also did not understand what was going on.
Looking at her, it seemed that she really did not understand what was going on.
Yuanyuan was originally a little confused, which made Qin Xiao even more curious. Why would Yuanyuan do such a thing?
Moreover, there was clearly nothing wrong with Yuanyuan's consciousness. She should also remember what happened just now. There was nothing wrong with it.
Then, what was going on?
"Yuanyuan, tell me everything that happened after you entered the eighth stage in detail. Only then will I know what is going on." Qin Xiao thought for a moment and said.
Yuanyuan looked at Qin Xiao and nodded. She clearly trusted Qin Xiao.
Yuanyuan told Qin Xiao everything that happened after she entered the eighth stage in detail.
After listening, Qin Xiao was shocked to discover that Yuanyuan had been here the moment she entered the eighth stage. She had been staying here the whole time and had been 'acting' as the Lord of the Narcissus Palace.
Unlike the others, she had not broken through the stages one by one and finally arrived here.
The moment she entered, she appeared here. Then, the Sacred Emperor's messenger appeared and gave Yuanyuan a test.
The content of the test was for Yuanyuan to act as the Lord of the Narcissus Palace and 'receive' the people who entered.
The Sacred Emperor's messenger had planned all the dialogue and words for Yuanyuan. She just had to memorize them and say them according to her words.
