Chapter 12 She Can't Be That Powerful
Min Lu explained to Song Qiaoyue, "This line is the spiritual power line. People without spiritual power can't cross it at all. Just watch, that woman will definitely fall down."
Song Qiaoyue: "Oh, then pray that she doesn't crush the child."
The two of them burst into laughter.
After passing through the gate, you can see a green mountain in the distance, a waterfall flowing down the mountain, and a long hillside at your feet. The hillside is covered with lush vegetation, blooming flowers, and a thriving scene. Walking forward along this path, you can vaguely see a white jade bridge with carved railings and jade bricks, looming in the mist of the waterfall.
A long red line was drawn with cinnabar in front of the hillside, stopping everyone in their tracks.
Luo Zhiyan said, "What you need to do is cross this red line and find me by the bridge."
After saying that, Luo Zhiyan took the lead and stepped over.
Everyone was confused.
A pockmarked young man looked bewildered: "What kind of assessment is this?"
Luo Zhiyan didn't answer and turned to leave. Before leaving, she hesitated for a moment, turned to Xie Zaozao and said, "Child, can I hold it for you?"
Xie Zaozao naturally refused: "No need."
Luo Zhiyan showed a hint of sarcasm on her face: "Are you sure? Don't be too arrogant. In the end, you will hurt yourself and the child."
"Um."
"You're not being silly, are you?"
Xie Zao Zao said, "You talk too much. How did you pass the assessment?"
Luo Zhiyan: "I rely on strength! Strength!"
She thought to herself, it’s up to you. My kindness is taken for granted. Let’s see how you kneel down and cry when the time comes.
She turned and left without a word.
The rest of the people looked at each other, and no one took the first step forward.
Everyone knows that so many people failed the first assessment, and many were carried out on stretchers, with many lying there crying.
So this is definitely not an ordinary red line!
The pockmarked young man tried several times but failed to take a step forward. He turned around and pushed others: "You go first, you go first."
But no one was willing to listen to him. In this kind of competitive assessment, who would want to be the first?
"You first, you first!"
"If I don't, what if the red thread catches fire when it touches someone? I'm most afraid of getting burned."
"Can't you just not touch it?"
"What if it jumps up and touches me?"
“That’s a red thread, not a grasshopper!!!”
Seeing everyone in such a mess that no one dared to step on them, Song Qiaoyue was even happier. She loved to see the panic and ignorance that ordinary people showed when faced with the mystical arts.
It makes her feel particularly superior.
And Xie Zaozao was about to lie on the ground with her child in her arms, like a dead dog.
She was ready to laugh.
And Xie Zaozao did not disappoint her expectations, and walked straight towards the red line with the child in her arms.
One step, two steps, three steps, and it's here.
Song Qiaoyue was ready to laugh wildly.
"ha--"
He just sighed and choked back.
Xie Zaozao carried the child steadily across the red line and turned to walk towards Luo Zhiyan.
Song Qiaoyue: ???
Didn't they say they would fall down right away? Wouldn't someone without spiritual power be able to cross it?
System: "Hey, host, are you so relaxed?"
"It's just a normal spiritual power test. If someone with insufficient spiritual power takes this step, it will be miserable."
"How miserable is it?"
"I can't stand up. I'm kneeling, lying, and squirming. If someone maliciously raises the spiritual energy value requirement, some people might become pie in the sky."
System: "Should we remind them?"
Xie Zaozao: "It's just a test. No one will die or get hurt. Why remind them?"
System: "Fair competition!"
"Will we be able to get away with it just by reminding them?"
“They may be able to opt out.”
"Do you think they believe me?"
System: ...Shit, that actually makes a lot of sense.
When Xie Zao Zao crossed the red line, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Song Qiaoyue. His eyes were emotionless, but the moment Song Qiaoyue met his gaze, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
Could it be that she saw herself?
Such a crazy idea popped up in Song Qiaoyue's mind.
But how is that possible? An ordinary maid, although better-looking, would be discovered by the Lin family if she had spiritual powers.
In her heart, she had always believed that Xie Zaozao was an ordinary person, but after seeing the sudden soaring into the sky from the wolf's den and what happened in Cuiguo Village, she felt that something was definitely wrong.
Min Lu also felt that something was wrong: "Is this line not drawn properly? Is it invalid? Otherwise, she can get through, but her child can't get through."
Song Qiaoyue felt relieved: "Yes, there must be something wrong with the line!"
The people at the foot of the mountain finally reacted when they saw Xie Zao Zao easily crossing the red line.
The pockmarked young man pounded his fist on his palm. "I get it! This test is about courage. It's not difficult per se, but it's about whether we dare to take the leap."
Before he could finish his words, someone knelt down in front of him.
The pockmarked young man said, "You don't have to kneel down to worship me."
The man cursed, "I worship your legs! I can't stand up anymore!"
Next, this group of people knelt down on the ground one after another, and some even lay directly on the ground, foaming at the mouth.
They are all people who have crossed the red line.
The rest of the people were scared. Didn’t they say everything was fine?
Some people stood still and dared not move, while the rest knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, crying like ghosts and wolves.
Luo Zhiyan looked at this mess and felt a headache. She thought to herself, after choosing for so long, could they all be caught in one fell swoop?
Then I saw a young girl in white walking towards me. She had a graceful figure and a fair and beautiful face. Her coarse clothes could not hide her delicate complexion. In her arms was a baby who was blowing bubbles of milk with his mouth.
If it’s not Xie Zaozao, who else could it be?
Luo Zhiyan was astonished. She actually came in? And not only did she come in, but her child came in too?
It looks like it was born not long ago, but it can actually reach the minimum spiritual power value they set?
Luo Zhiyan's eyes changed. Who is this person?
Song Qiaoyue and Min Lu were also confused. Is this line drawn correctly?
While the two were still in shock, they suddenly felt a burning sensation on their bodies. Song Qiaoyue screamed and tore the burning talisman off her body onto the ground. However, her fingers had blisters on them. She endured the stinging pain and screamed, "Senior Sister Min Lu, what's going on?"
Although Min Lu was startled, she remained much calmer: "If the ear-clearing and eye-clearing talisman is used improperly, it will also spontaneously combust. It may be that there was a small flaw when it was drawn."
Having said that, Min Lu no longer had the heart to watch these people's excitement and turned around to go back to the school.
Song Qiaoyue really wanted to see the result this time, but Min Lu had left and she couldn't see anything if she stayed behind. She also didn't know how to draw talismans, so she had to follow him in a hurry.
She began to feel a little uneasy in her heart, and kept thinking about the look Xie Zaozao gave her.
Soon after receiving that glance, the talisman burned. Could it be that Xie Zao Zao did it?
Is it a coincidence or...
No, it's a coincidence, it must be a coincidence!
Song Qiaoyue gritted her teeth. Even if Xie Zaozao was really capable, she couldn't let her stay in the Fu family! Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to find an opportunity to take action!
