Chapter 106

Cheng Hui is still obsessed with studying

The man no longer cared about Cheng Hui and the others, believing that they would definitely be fooled, and even if they regretted it, it would be too late.

Cheng Hui was still immersed in his studies and had no idea that he was being cheated.

Lin Qingyang guessed the man's ill intentions, but he didn't care.

He did not particularly value the opportunities and inheritances in the ancient tomb.

He had always held the mindset that if he had it, it was great; if he didn't, it didn't matter. In other words, his goal wasn't the rewards, but rather Cheng Hui's happy expression when he received them.

In comparison, making Cheng Hui happy is much more important than getting the treasure.

And there is another point. Lin Qingyang has always had an indescribable feeling, as if there is a treasure waiting for him to discover. As long as the time is right, he can have as many treasures like this as he wants.

So for Lin Qingyang, the most important thing is to be able to reunite with Cheng Hui, and it doesn’t matter even if it delays some other things.

As for the small price to pay for it, it is worth it.

Lin Qingyang followed the method the man taught him, moving his Xundao Step closer to Cheng Hui and eventually merging them together.

"Hiss..." Cheng Hui was originally immersed in studying, but suddenly he felt a burning sensation on the back of his hand. He looked down and saw a bird appear on the back of his hand, a strange bird with only one wing and one claw.

"What the hell?" Cheng Hui was confused. He didn't do anything, so how could this thing suddenly appear?

"Does it look good?"

Suddenly, another white and delicate hand stretched out from beside my hand. On the back of the hand, which was three shades whiter than my own, there was an identical one-winged bird. The only difference between the two was that the bird on the back of my hand had a left wing, while the bird on the back of this hand had a right wing.

Don’t mention it, even though the two hands are quite different in color, the two birds are quite a match, and together they look like one bird…

Um?

Cheng Hui came back to his senses and looked at Lin Qingyang in shock: "Why are you here?"

Lin Qingyang curled his lips and said, "The elder brother from Liuguang Sword Sect taught me a way for us to reunite."

Cheng Hui looked up and saw that the disciple from Liuguang Sword Sect was busy with the assessment and didn't look at him.

He couldn't help but frown. The Liuguang Sword Sect and the Tianming Sect were at odds with each other. The Tianming Sect was nominally a subsidiary sect under the Shigui Sect. So the question was, what would be the mentality of the Liuguang Sword Sect, which was at odds with the Tianming Sect, towards the Shigui Sect?

Are they the kind of people who are willing to share the secrets of treasure hunting with them?

Cheng Hui shook his head secretly, saying this would be a laughing stock.

Just think of it as him judging others by his own standards. Anyway, he didn't think the other party would be so kind.

Cheng Hui was a little puzzled. At such a long distance, he could do nothing but talk nonsense. What was this person trying to do?

Forget it, he will just deal with it no matter what the other party plans to do.

"Ahui, do you know what kind of bird this is?" Lin Qingyang suddenly asked hesitantly.

Cheng Hui looked down and an idea flashed in his mind.

"Lovebirds?"

"That's right! Look, Ah Hui, we are like a pair of mandarin ducks together, a match made in heaven! We are destined to be together forever." Lin Qingyang's eyes flashed with joy.

Cheng Hui just felt a headache.

You're just a nine-year-old kid, so don't even think about whether it's a match made in heaven, right?

Do you know that this behavior of yours is called premature love? In our country, the parents would be called in to give us a good beating...

Cheng Hui now knows that he cannot explain this matter to Lin Qingyang, so he can only comfort himself that he is still young now. When he grows up and has the impulses of adolescence, he will take him to see more beautiful girls, and he will eventually realize his mistakes.

As for what to do if Lin Qingyang still stares at me when I reach puberty?

Cheng Hui subconsciously refused to think about such a terrifying question.

At this moment, a barrier suddenly appeared between the two of them, blocking their view. Then, a screen appeared in front of them with the words, "What's your favorite?" / "What's your partner's favorite?"

Cheng Hui/Lin Qingyang: ???

Cheng Hui was confused. What the hell? My favorite thing? Isn't eating my favorite thing?

Lin Qingyang was quite calm, especially when he saw the words "Daoist Companion" on it, he unconsciously curled up the corners of his lips.

If you can speak nicely, say more.

He raised his hand and used his finger as a pen to write the word "eat" in the blank space.

Ding Dong!

After passing this question, the second question appeared on the screen.

What's your favorite color? / What's your partner's favorite color?

blue!

Lin Qingyang wrote down two words with great confidence.

As expected, I heard the crisp sound of ding-dong again.

Next, the questions on the screen kept changing, covering all aspects of Cheng Hui.

Fortunately, the two have lived together for more than a year and are very familiar with each other. In addition, Lin Qingyang is careful enough and observes more. The answers to many questions are hidden in the details of life.

He made it through all the levels and answered all the questions almost perfectly.

Even though Cheng Hui on the opposite side didn't understand at first, he came to his senses later. He thought that Lin Qingyang knew him so well. In contrast, he was usually careless and didn't pay attention to Lin Qingyang's preferences.

Cheng Hui couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. Did he neglect Lin Qingyang too much?

In a blink of an eye, fifty questions passed. Lin Qingyang made no mistakes and wrote down the correct answers for all of them.

The screen in front of him suddenly changed, and the subject of the question in front of Cheng Hui changed from "you" to "your Taoist partner".

Cheng Hui: ...pills!

The first question is the same as the previous one. What is your Taoist partner’s favorite?

Cheng Hui recalled and then discovered with horror that he couldn't think of anything that Lin Qingyang particularly liked.

If he had to say, the only person he had ever witnessed Lin Qingyang clearly express his love for was probably... him?

Cheng Hui: ...

Even though Cheng Hui prided himself on being thick-skinned, he still felt a little embarrassed.

It just... feels a bit narcissistic.

But the problem is... apart from him, he really can't think of anything that Lin Qingyang particularly cares about.

After thinking about it, the screen suddenly flickered, and Cheng Hui immediately realized that this kind of inquiry had a time limit. If he couldn't make the call, he would probably miss it.

Thinking about my usual carefree personality, I may not be able to answer many of the following questions. Although I don’t know what the consequences will be if I can’t answer the questions, it is obvious that it will not be a good thing.

Cheng Hui had no choice but to shamelessly write the word "I" in the blank space.

Ding Dong!

A familiar voice sounded, but Cheng Hui only felt his face getting slightly hot.

Even though he thought Lin Qingyang might answer like this, after confirming it, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Thinking of Lin Qingyang's usual behavior, Cheng Hui couldn't help but hold his forehead, and... the feeling was quite complicated.

He didn't know what kind of emotion he should use to face Lin Qingyang.

A lie told a thousand times will be regarded as the truth. Cheng Hui was confessed to by Lin Qingyang continuously, and he was not a piece of wood, so of course he would be touched.

Of course, there was some touching feeling, but it was definitely not the case that she fell in love with him.

It’s just…how should I put it, I feel a little embarrassed and conflicted, and I don’t know how to face Lin Qingyang.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his turbulent emotions. As an adult, he would never fall in love with a child, even if the child was very mature. He would usually treat the child as an adult, whether consciously or unconsciously.

But as soon as he saw the other person's small bean-like figure, Cheng Hui could immediately calm down and his heart would be as calm as still water.

The minimum sentence is three years, and the maximum is death penalty!

Cheng Hui silently recited his own unique meditation mantra and quickly calmed down.

The next question has appeared on the screen. Cheng Hui doesn't know what Lin Qingyang's favorite color is, so he can only guess that it is black.

As a result, a shrill buzzing sound immediately sounded on the screen.

Cheng Hui: ...

Compared with the incessant ding-dong sound before, the occasional beeping sound made Cheng Hui so embarrassed that he wished he could carve out a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment on the ground.

So embarrassing!

I've never been so embarrassed in my life!

And he didn't know why, but he actually felt particularly guilty.

Even though there was a partition between the two of them, he could still see the resentful expression on Lin Qingyang's face through the partition.

Cheng Hui: ...There must be something wrong with me!

Fortunately, Cheng Hui later discovered that if he thought carefully, he would most likely come up with a wrong answer. On the contrary, the answer he got based on intuition often matched Lin Qingyang's.

Cheng Hui: It’s outrageous!

I finally finished answering these fifty torturous questions intermittently.

When the last question disappeared from the screen, Cheng Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I feel that even the college entrance examination was not as stressful as this exam.

The screen disappeared, and so did the partition between them.

Seeing that familiar face again, Cheng Hui suddenly became nervous and felt that something was wrong with him.

"Ahem...um...I'm sorry, I answered a lot of questions wrong." Cheng Hui said with some shame.

"No, Ah Hui did very well." Lin Qingyang smiled gently: "Ah Hui answered a lot of questions correctly, that's already great."

Cheng Hui blushed a little and was comforted by a little kid.

"Well... don't worry, I'll be more careful next time. But... what color do you like? I see you don't seem to have any preference when it comes to clothes."

Lin Qingyang pursed his lips and smiled: "I like blue."

"Do you like blue too? What a coincidence, me too." Cheng Hui smiled with his eyes curved.

Lin Qingyang smiled without saying anything. It is because you like blue that I like blue.

While the two were talking, a few lines of words appeared in the air again. They only said that they had passed the tacit understanding test, and the difficulty of the steps would be greatly reduced afterwards. This could be considered a reward for the loving couple.

Cheng Hui declined the words "loving Taoist couple". He, a grown man, and a little boy could become "loving Taoist couple". What exactly did the senior base his judgment on?

Cheng Hui was puzzled.

Fortunately, he didn't need to solve it. The handwriting disappeared again, and the formation that Cheng Hui had been studying before reappeared.

Just now, in order to solve this formation, he had been trapped on this step for nearly two hours. Now, the formation that appeared again had several obvious flashing spots on it.

These flashing spots were exactly the hidden nodes of the magic circle. The moment Cheng Hui saw those nodes, combined with his previous cracking results, the secret hidden in the magic circle was suddenly exposed to him.

As expected, the difficulty was greatly reduced, and even the clues were given directly.

Cheng Hui sighed, then quickly cracked the formation, got the new formation notes, and began to study them.
