"Yeah, I'm a little tired indeed." Bai Ren said as he put a hand on Chao Yan's shoulder.
"Hurry up, everyone! Don't waste time! Let's get going! We don't know what challenges await us." Jiang Baizhi urged anxiously, the plot of the original novel already surfacing in her mind. By this time, the fake daughter had already left the show, and the plot she had seen revolved around the heroine. She knew clearly that there were still a series of arduous tasks ahead, such as rock climbing and crossing stone bridges, and time was running out.
"Can't you even take a breath? Really? Humph, let's go." Although Bai Ren said a little reluctantly, he still stepped forward.
Then, the group began to walk towards the next place. Their figures gradually moved farther and farther away and disappeared at the end of the road.
Following the map's instructions, Qu Qingdai and her group trudged along a winding forest path. The path snaked through the dense woods like a long, winding snake. After a long trek, they finally reached their destination. A towering, steep, and precipitous rock face loomed before them.
At the bottom of the rock face, they found staff waiting patiently, as if awaiting their arrival. So, they hurried over and asked impatiently, "Are they asking us to climb?"
When the staff heard their question, they answered without hesitation, "Yes, that's true."
"Ah, no, I can't do that." When Lin Zhirou heard this, an embarrassment suddenly appeared on her face. She frowned and said with fear.
"This is not a team task. Only four people are needed to complete it. The rest of the people can take the cable car. Which four do you want to choose?" The staff explained to them in detail.
"Well...then let the four men on our side go up, is that okay?" Tan Changqing looked at Chao Yan, Bai Ren, and Ling Quan in turn, asking for their opinions.
"No problem for me." Bai Ren has always loved adventure. He thinks challenges like rock climbing are just a piece of cake and no problem at all.
"I can try." Ling Quan also expressed his willingness to try without hesitation.
"I... I have acrophobia, I'm afraid..." Chao Yan looked embarrassed, with a hint of worry and uneasiness in his voice, and a worried expression on his face, as if his heart was full of fear and terror.
"Then I'll do it," Jiang Baizhi's voice suddenly broke the silence, her voice firm. She knew full well that in the original novel, Chao Yan was unable to complete the task due to her fear of heights, and it was the heroine who bravely stepped forward, earning her widespread favor. This time, she was determined to complete the task, originally meant for the heroine, herself, to prove her ability to everyone.
"Are you okay with this, Xiaozhi?" Lin Zhirou asked with a hint of confusion on her face.
"Believe me, I can do it." Jiang Baizhi responded confidently, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, as if she had infinite power.
Qu Qingdai looked at Jiang Baizhi's confident expression and thought to herself, "As expected, in your previous life, you concealed your fear of heights, worked hard to overcome it, and ultimately completed the mission. It wasn't until after the climb that you revealed your fear of heights, earning countless praise and recognition. But this time, I won't let you succeed so easily."
"But, Xiaozhi, don't you also have acrophobia?" Qu Qingdai said in feigned surprise, with a barely perceptible cunningness on her face.
"What, Xiaozhi, you are afraid of heights too? That won't do." Lin Zhirou's face was full of astonishment when she heard this, and she hurriedly said.
"Yes, Baizhi, fear of heights is no joke." Ling Quan also said immediately, his tone full of concern and worry.
"That's right, Jiang Baizhi, don't go if you're afraid of heights. If something happens, it will be bad for everyone." Bai Ren also spoke, with a hint of seriousness in his words.
"Yes, that won't do." Chao Yan echoed, with a look of disapproval on her face.
"I..." Jiang Baizhi was speechless for a moment. Before she could express her original little thoughts, they were broken by Qu Qingdai.
"Let me do it," Qu Qingdai said calmly with a smile on her face. "I've done rock climbing a few times abroad before. Although the cliffs here aren't as steep and high, I think I can do it."
"Is it really possible?" Tan Changqing asked with some doubt.
"Yes, I can do it." Qu Qingdai replied affirmatively.
"Okay, it's your turn. Come and put on your equipment." Ling Quan said.
At this moment, Jiang Baizhi watched Qu Qingdai go rock climbing with them, a flicker of jealousy and resentment in her eyes. She couldn't understand why Qu Qingdai knew she was afraid of heights, given that they hadn't had much interaction...
"Okay, Xiaozhi, let's take the cable car." Lin Zhirou's words interrupted Jiang Baizhi's thoughts and she came back to her senses.
"Yeah, okay, Chaoyan, come too." Jiang Baizhi said, trying her best to make her voice sound natural.
"Okay." Chao Yan responded with a hint of helplessness on her face.
Below the cliff, four people, equipped with climbing gear, were ready to go. At the command of the staff, Bai Ren took the lead like an arrow from a bow, using his hands and feet to climb up swiftly and steadily. He held on tightly to the protruding rocks, moving his body nimbly, demonstrating tremendous strength and skill.
