Chen Xiao was melancholy for only a moment, then he calmed down and turned his attention to the situation inside the venue.

Half an hour later, the man who had been standing behind the chair came over and took the books from the young men. Now that the leader had left, he no longer had to stand there, and now stood shoulder to shoulder with the host.

The person who had been leading the conversation looked at him questioningly. The other person shook his head slightly, indicating that he was still responsible for the rest.

Then the man said, "Next, I will ask you questions one by one." Wu Xinzhi was standing in the first position. He was nervous and silently recited the contents of the scripture in his mind. The man pointed at him and said, "The one at the front is you." Wu Xinzhi was startled and hurried forward, "Okay, now you recite it again."

Wu Xinzhi calmed down and began to recite what he had just memorized. He had a good memory and was always praised by the teacher when he recited in class.

The beginning was smooth, but it became discontinuous after one-third, and then there were some missing parts in the last one-third. He even forgot something in the middle, but he didn't dare to stop and let the immortal master wait for him to recall. So he skipped the forgotten part and continued to recite the rest.

He actually took a shortcut in reciting for half an hour. He was most familiar with the beginning and the end, followed by the middle, and the last. When the teachers in the school selected people to recite, they usually picked the beginning or the end. The middle was rarely selected, and the last part was even less likely to be selected.

This time, he recited according to this pattern, hoping that the immortal master would have the same habit as the teachers in the school. After all, this book of scriptures was quite long, and he probably didn't have the patience to listen to him recite from beginning to end. But he didn't expect that the immortal master didn't let him stop until he finished reciting the last paragraph. However, even if he didn't recite as well as before, he was confident that he recited the most among the four people.

Seeing that he had finished reciting, the immortal master nodded slightly, and Wu Xinzhi was immediately delighted. He thought he had passed the test, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly ask, "'Re-organize your body, and the mysterious energy will be wonderful', what does this sentence mean?"

"Ah?" Wu Xinzhi's mind went blank. "What, what's the solution?"

The immortal master repeated patiently: "Yes. Tell me your understanding of this sentence."

Wu Xinzhi was sweating profusely. He had only memorized the scriptures before, and had never understood the contents of the scriptures! These scriptures were very profound, and even a teacher would take a whole day to explain them. How could Wu Xinzhi, who only memorized the entire text, explain his understanding in a short time?

Wu Xinzhi moved his mouth and stammered for a while. Seeing that he really couldn't say anything, the immortal master said, "Okay, you go down. The next one comes up." Wu Xinzhi's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to disobey the other party. He staggered back a few steps and stood back at the head of the team.

His mind was in a mess, his ears were buzzing, and his heart was in a mess. This time he was going to perform badly.

The second person came forward, and the Immortal Master also asked him to recite first. This person did not take any shortcuts, and he did not have a good memory like Wu Xinzhi, so he only recited less than the first third.

The immortal master did not comment on whether it was good or bad, but just picked out one sentence from it and asked him to express his understanding just like asking Wu Xinzhi. Although the second boy was also nervous, he thought for a while and still expressed his opinion on this sentence.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao understood. This last round of testing was not about memory, but about comprehension. The immortal master of Chongxuan Sect wanted to see the teenagers' ability to understand the scriptures. It was not important to remember how much or how little, the most important thing was to have their own opinions. Wu Xinzhi was too clever for his own good, and his rote memorization of scriptures was the most unpopular.

Wu Xinzhi stood in front and quickly understood the situation. His face turned even paler, and he felt that he might not be selected.

As expected, the qualification to be admitted into the Immortal Sect on the spot fell to the young man standing at the end. This result made the young man happy and surprised, and also made Wu Xinzhi feel like he was struck by lightning.

After informing the teachers in the academy that they would come again in a few days, the two immortal masters left.

The villagers who had been watching the excitement dispersed with satisfaction. Only one person was chosen out of ten, and nine of them failed to be chosen. Most of them did not make it. So although the family members felt regretful, they could accept such a result. Surrounding their children, the villagers left one after another, leaving only Wu Xinzhi's family to speak up for him.

Although the Wu family was rich, it was only because of the good weather and good harvest. There was no educated person in the family, so they did not understand that the last item was to test understanding. Wu Xinzhi's parents were very dissatisfied, thinking that their son had memorized the most and the best, but in the end the one who only memorized a few hundred words and was inferior to his son in every aspect was selected.

In his words, he doubted whether the other party was fair. The teacher who stayed at the side and did not leave broke out in a cold sweat. He shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! The immortal masters naturally have their own considerations, how can you make up!" He saw that Wu Xinzhi's face was really bad, so he softened his tone and said: "Xinzhi, don't be discouraged. Chongxuan Sect is a famous sect, and the requirements are too strict. In fact, with your conditions, you can be regarded as an inner sect disciple in any ordinary sect."

Wu Xinzhi bit his lower lip stubbornly, his eyes reddened: "Teacher! I just can't accept it! I misunderstood. Otherwise, otherwise..." He had a strong sense of self-esteem, and being eliminated was an extremely frustrating setback, so he forced himself not to cry in front of everyone.

The teacher could only sigh. Normally, when immortal sects came to recruit disciples, they only tested their spiritual roots and muscles and bones. They had no idea that the Chongxuan sect actually added another element of comprehension.

These ten young men were already the ten with the best qualifications in Fan Village, but only one was chosen. This shows how strict the requirements of this famous sect are.

Chen Xiao watched from the side and thought to himself: This seems to be the difference between key universities and ordinary universities. Comprehension is the additional question in the college entrance examination that determines one's fate.

Wu Xinzhi was so sad that Ershun didn't care about being shy. She squeezed to the front and said softly with red eyes: "Brother Xinzhi, don't be sad. Don't forget that there is still a re-election. It doesn't mean that you have no chance..."

Wu Xinzhi's parents were furious at the moment. When they saw Ershun coming, they took out all their anger on him. His mother said, "You are so happy now. My son can't go to the immortal gate and can only waste his life as a mortal! I really regret letting him get engaged to a girl like you! You refuse to cancel the engagement and drag my son down!"

Ershun was speechless. How could this be blamed on her? It was originally unrelated. She had never been loud and arrogant, but now that Wu Xinzhi's mother pointed at her nose and blamed her, she could only cry out of grievance.

Chen Xiao couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped in front of Wu Xinzhi and said, "If you really have ambition, you shouldn't let your mother say that about your fiancée! Anyone with common sense knows what happened in the last scene. It has nothing to do with my sister. Don't think that no one in her family understands, because I, her cousin, am watching!"

As a relative, Chen Xiao certainly couldn't confront Ershun's future mother-in-law directly, otherwise Ershun would suffer in the future. He could only start with Wu Xinzhi and let Wu Xinzhi solve the problem himself.

Wu Xinzhi certainly understood what Chen Xiao meant. It was his own fault that he messed up the last game. Just because his family couldn't see it didn't mean that no one in the Chen family could see it.

He blushed with shame, and his already depressed and annoyed mood became even worse: "Mother, please stop talking. What does this have to do with Ershun? It's all my own fault. I was too arrogant and presumptuous to speculate about the immortal master, which backfired. If you don't want your son to be more embarrassed, please stop talking."

Wu Xinzhi's mother knew it was not Ershun's fault, but she couldn't bear to blame her son, so she could only turn her depressed mood into anger towards Ershun. Now her son directly criticized her in front of everyone, which made her lose face. She threw out her handkerchief, covered her face and cried: "My poor son——"

The master stood in the crowd, overwhelmed by the mess. He shouted, "Okay! Things haven't reached the worst point yet, why are you crying!"

Wu's mother stopped crying immediately, and Wu's father asked hurriedly: "Master, what do you mean? Is there still a chance to save the situation?"

The master rubbed his forehead with a headache: "This time we are only here to select inner disciples, and we will recruit a wave of outer disciples in the reselection." He looked at Wu Xinzhi seriously: "Have you thought it over? Do you want to be an inner disciple in a general big sect, or do you want to be an outer disciple in Chongxuan Sect?"

The most obvious difference between inner disciples and outer disciples is that inner disciples have masters, while outer disciples do not. Compared to inner disciples who are supervised by someone, outer disciples are left to their own devices, and of course the competition is more intense. However, this does not mean that outer disciples have no chance to succeed. If they perform well and are noticed by inner disciples, they can become disciples.

Wu Xinzhi gritted his teeth and said: "Of course I have to go to Chongxuan Sect!" He clearly had the opportunity to join a famous sect, but ended up in an ordinary sect. How could he be willing!

Ershun couldn't sleep the night after the selection. She didn't dare to make any noise in the house to disturb her parents. She hid in the utility room and cried secretly under the quilt. Chen Xiao got up in the middle of the night to relieve herself and vaguely heard her voice. She quietly put on her clothes and came over with the hot water bottle.

"Why are you crying? Do you feel wronged during the day?" Chen Xiao pushed the door open, and Er Shun was so frightened that the quilt slipped off his squatting body.

"Brother Silly, why are you here?" Ershun's voice was heavily nasal, and it was unknown how long she had been crying.

Chen Xiao sighed: "If you call me brother, I will treat you as a sister. A sister is crying here, and I am not heartless, so how can I not come and ask."

Er Shun's tears started to flow again when she heard this. Chen Xiao pulled up the quilt and put it on her: "Don't take it to heart. Your mother-in-law just can't think straight at the moment. Let Wu Xinzhi persuade her later. She will definitely not let you get angry."

Ershun shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't get better. She'll just get more angry at me."

Chen Xiao asked in confusion: "Why do you think so?"

Ershun whispered, "Actually, I think Brother Wu has a better chance today than going to the re-election."
