Luo Yan walked around outside for a few times and found that most of the tests had already begun.

This situation is not surprising. After all, the previous tests all lasted until noon tomorrow, so it can be assumed that the other tests will most likely be similar.

Unless there is a test that can be ended early today, it is better to wait until tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan was not in a hurry to get the throne. He just wandered around in the secret realm of the Golden Palace, just as if he was visiting scenic spots.

After a closer look, he found that the Golden Palace was completely flashy. Although there were pavilions and towers everywhere, they were only magnificent and gorgeous in appearance, but there were not many signs of long-term residence inside.

Although most of the maids surrounded the True Lords, they also had their own areas of movement.

To be precise, the maids belonging to each True Lord will only patrol within a designated area.

Um?

Luo Yan suddenly stood still with a strange expression on his face.

He had already circled the Golden Que Secret Realm, and a floor plan of the entire Golden Que Palace appeared in his mind.

Countless pavilions and towers are divided into uneven, large and small areas along various corridors, aisles, and the edges of buildings, and the area of ​​each area is roughly the same.

The only thing separated from the area is the Lingtian Pavilion in the center.

All cultivators who receive the position of the Lord of the Golden Palace from the True Lord will be guided to the Lingtian Pavilion until there are twelve of them.

Luo Yan calculated silently again.

That's right, the entire palace has only ten areas, not twelve.

There are twelve True Lords, why are there only ten areas?

If there were only eleven areas, Luo Yan might have thought that there might be a bunch of couples, siblings, or brother and sister True Lords, and two people shared an area... But there were only ten areas, so it couldn't be that there were exactly two couples, right?

It is more likely that two areas are hidden.

Considering the nature of these masters of calculation, Luo Yan felt that this was the truth - we have twelve True Lords here, but only ten appear in front of you, go find the remaining two!

Thinking of this, Luo Yan smiled coldly.

How can such a trick fool me?

So he circled around the Golden Palace Secret Realm again and walked around it carefully several times.

Then he discovered unusual spatial fluctuations near Lingtian Pavilion.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, even if he discovered the hidden space here, he probably wouldn't be able to find a way to get in, but Luo Yan was not an ordinary cultivator.

He took out the Tianji Divine Shuttle from his treasure bag, then activated his true energy and threw it into the air.

Then, Luo Yan appeared in another space.

There was only thick fog all around him, and he was shrouded in such thick fog that he couldn't see his hand in front of him.

Before Luo Yan could make any move, the thick fog suddenly moved to both sides as if it had consciousness.

"That's right." A young fairy slowly stepped out of the mist with a strange look of shock on her face. "Finding this place is the test I set."

"I used Qimen Dunjia to reverse the spatial orientation here, and then used a secret method to hide it in the void. Finally, I scattered the clues to enter this place in every corner of the Golden Palace Secret Realm."

“Unless someone who is proficient in numerology finds all the clues I left behind, it will be impossible to enter here.”

"And you, without finding any clues, were able to successfully arrive here. I really don't understand."

Luo Yan smiled faintly and flattered in a hypocritical manner:

"The tricks that Zhenjun set up are really brilliant. I just got lucky."

You can't just tell her, "Your maze is nothing at all. I just scanned it to find the entrance and then passed through the wall. It was a piece of cake."

After hearing what Luo Yan said, the fairy knew that the other party had no intention of answering, so she sneered and asked:

"Master Dongyou is your Taoist partner?"

"How come the Master knows her?" Luo Yan was also surprised.

How long has it been since she came in? Has Miss Shi's reputation spread among the True Lords?

"She is learning arithmetic in there." The fairy suppressed her sneer and said calmly, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me. According to the rules, the position in my hand is yours."

"Oh, by the way, let me give you one more piece of advice."

"Don't try to fool a master of arithmetic, or you'll regret it sooner or later."

Luo Yan was furious when he heard this and said in a cold voice:

"Do all of you masters of divination like to pry into other people's privacy?"

"My magical power, since it can help me enter this place, must not be of ordinary grade! Why do you insist on finding out the truth?"

"That's not what I'm referring to." The fairy shook her head and said indifferently, "You are involved in a huge cause and effect, and it has been covered up by some extremely clever means."

"Given your partner's personality, do you think she could just leave it alone?"

Luo Yan was suddenly speechless.

Since Shi Liuli lost her father, it is not so much that her personality has changed drastically, but rather that she has shifted her emotional dependence from her father, Elder Shi Ding, to her husband, Luo Yan.

Elder Shi Ding is a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator with an extraordinary status in Yuqing Temple. Tiangong Workshop is full of talented disciples and dominates the equipment refining market in the entire cultivation world. As a result, Shi Liuli is innocent, carefree and enjoys herself to the fullest - this is because Elder Shi Ding wants her to be happy.

By the time Luo Yan took over as the owner of Tiangong Workshop, there were no more Nascent Soul cultivators in the workshop, and only three of the six disciples were left. Naturally, she had to mature quickly and devote all her energy to helping her husband run the Tiangong Workshop - this was also because Luo Yan needed someone to help with chores.

Therefore, Luo Yan had already seen through it: Miss Shi was a typical dependent personality, and the key to realizing the value of life was to be needed.

As long as my husband continues to be a bad person, she can get the sense of accomplishment of being needed by her husband.

But there is also a disadvantage, that is, she will try to help her husband more and more deeply.

In other words, it is a stronger desire for control.

The traditional family concept says that "men are responsible for the outside world and women are responsible for the inside world", which is essentially a clarification of the rights and responsibilities of husband and wife to avoid conflicts.

If in a family, the wife is both the breadwinner and the homemaker, then for the husband who is simply being supported, what other outcome can there be than for him to report everything to his wife?

Definitely not!

Thinking of this, Luo Yan finally realized:

Don't try to fool Shi Liuli casually like you fooled An Zhisu, because with her current personality and way of thinking, the more you try to fool her, the harder she will try to get to the bottom of it!

"Thank you for your warning, Master." Luo Yan bowed solemnly.

"I'm glad you understand." The fairy nodded majestically.

What did he understand... In his sea of ​​consciousness, Kunlun Mirror couldn't help but complain to Qingping Sword.
