If the other party was truly unforgivable, she wouldn't hesitate to take up arms and kill. The more she understood the hardships of life, the harder it was to tolerate disgusting and abusive scenes. It was just that her usual demeanor and temperament made it hard to believe she would make such a decision.

Thinking back to those years in Hopeland, until the death of Adley, it was unbelievable that this girl could be so decisive and act without hesitation.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now. Come with me to the back garden to practice sword today." Aitesi picked up the cup and drank the cool juice happily.

That afternoon, on the third floor of the Elf Shop.

A woman who looked to be around 30-40 was sitting at the table. She was wearing a yellow dress that looked like fallen leaves. A golden hairpin shaped like a flying bird was inserted in her hair, and in her mouth she held a pendant made of several pearls.

The woman sat in front of Loran Hill, with a deep red flower inserted in the right collar of her clothes. Its petals were slender and slightly curved, emitting a faint fragrance.

The woman looked at Loran Hill quietly. The two had been sitting opposite each other for several minutes without saying a word.

"It is indeed suitable. You passed." The woman said after a long time.

Oh, has he passed the test? Loran Hill was slightly surprised.

"Since you're the right person, let me tell you the name of our faction. My name is Chi Wu, and I'm from Huilu Continent, the Burning Sun and Yellow Feather Sect."

{Hui Lu: The name of the god of fire, later extended to refer to fire.

"Guoyu Zhouyu Shang" says: "When the Xia Dynasty rose, Rong descended to the Chongshan Mountains. When it fell, Hui Luxin returned to the Tunnel."

"But this is just the beginning. If you want to become the core of the sect, it depends on your own efforts." After making up her mind, she explained quickly.

"Our sect descends from the Incense Burning Immortal, Hong Chun. Our master once traveled west with the Yellow Bird and later returned, passing down the Taoist tradition. The masters of our sect are Qianlong, Jiuyou, and Jietian. Throughout the generations, there have been people who have ascended the Nine-Layered Heavenly Ladder."

"This is the Huangzhi token. Carry it with you and travel a thousand miles westward alone. Once you enter Huilu Island, someone will guide you. If you haven't arrived before the winter solstice at the end of the year, then we can only say that this is not our destiny."

"Then let's stop here for today." After saying that, the woman stood up, took off the flower on her collar and placed it on the table.

"I'll give you this red flower as a gift." Then the woman walked away slowly, her figure fading like smoke.

Loran Hill wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. He saw the woman walk down the stairs and stand for a long time before sitting down again.

She looked at the two things on the table.

[Yellow Gardenia Token] (Silver Level, Excellent): Made by the Zhuori Huangyu Sect, it is used to test newcomers to the sect. It can be sensed by disciples of the sect and has a certain protective effect against evil spirits and can cause slight damage to ghosts.

[Red Flower of the Netherworld] (Gold Level, Rare): It can be used to appease the souls of the dead. It has many benefits for ghosts or those who practice the Undead Order, nourishing the soul and body, and calming the mind.

The girl recalled the scene just now. That woman was also extraordinary. In the world after the changes in the heaven and earth, she had also reached the level of Sequence 6, which was almost the top of the world. Except for a few Sequence 7s, there was basically no one who could surpass her.

When Loran Hill picked up the red flower and examined it carefully, a sound of footsteps came from the stairs next to him, very lightly.

"Congratulations, little Lacey." Atesi seemed to know the result and walked over happily.

"Huh, I didn't expect Lord Chiwu to give this to you as well." She looked at the bright red flower on the table.

"You have to keep this well. It will be very helpful when you advance to Sequence 5. It can help you resist those disturbing phantoms." Atesi pressed her fingers to her chin, recalling the effect of the flowers.

"If it is used to refine pills, it seems to be good. You can find a master in Wan Zi Qian Hong Valley, otherwise it will be easily wasted."

"Okay, little Lacey, let's celebrate today." After saying that, Etesi walked downstairs and began to greet the other maids.

Outside the elf shop, on the carriage.

Irene and the woman in yellow sat in the carriage, the wheels turning slowly as they headed out of the city.

"How is the child?" Irene looked at the woman in front of her and saw that the red flower on her collar was gone. She knew that Loran Hill had passed.

"He has a very good foundation and is a relatively calm person. He's not the superficial and impatient type." Then she stopped.

"Well, what about after that? What about other aspects?" Irene asked curiously.

"I've only sat with her for a while, how could I possibly see everything?" The woman in yellow glanced at her and said slowly.

"You see the Nine Netherworld Way as too bizarre. This Way cannot read minds, nor can it predict someone's future achievements at a glance."

"In fact, for most disciples in their early stages, you can't predict how far they will grow in the future. The human heart is like a transparent stone, invisible to everyone. Even you yourself may not fully understand yourself."

"Okay, I won't discuss my thoughts and ideas with you Orientals anymore." Irene shook her head with a faint smile on her face.

"I feel relieved to see you here."

Chi Wu picked up the tea on the table, took a sip slowly, his brows slightly relaxed, and then he put it down.

"A lot has happened over the years. Twenty years have passed since we met." She said softly, looking at the still young ice elf in front of her, recalling the scene when they crossed the Night Glow Sea together that year.

"I don't think that the spoiled ice elf lady back then has adapted to ordinary life now."
