The assessment in the small dark room came very quickly, in the evening.
This time, Chen Yao did not come again. Only Ling Su and Mu Ying came with Qi Yunxiao.
But Qi Yunxiao didn't seem to feel lost at all, and he still looked calm and composed.
Even when he was officially locked up in the small dark room, the expression on his face remained the same, and even the Marquis raised his eyebrows, which was rare.
Chen Yao only listened to Xichun and Yuezhu's retelling and then went to have her meal with peace of mind.
The system popped up a bubble at this time and whispered, "Host, I really didn't expect that the Lord God would also be locked up in the small dark room one day. Usually I am the one who is locked up, but now I see the Lord God being locked up too. Why do I feel so excited for some reason?"
Chen Yao raised an eyebrow, "Oh? You find it exciting?"
The system smiled and said, "Of course. I not only feel it's exciting, but also thrilling. You know, no one in the fairy world dares to do this to the gods."
Chen Yao said coldly: "Well, I'll remember it."
The system was suddenly startled: "Remember, remember what?"
Chen Yao curled her lips and smiled: "Write it down, and tell your Lord God if you have the chance in the future."
The system immediately yelled: "Ah! No! Host~"
Chen Yao smiled and teased it, "You're thousands of years old, yet you're still so jumpy. Even the kids in the kindergarten aren't as noisy as you."
The system curled its lips in displeasure. "I'm not childish. I'm the most mature system in the world. Host, if you continue to talk about me like that, I won't be your number one friend anymore. Besides, I was just anxious for the moment, afraid that you would really argue with the gods about me in the future."
Chen Yao finally grasped the information she wanted: "So, he and I will meet again after all the tasks are completed?"
The system immediately muted the microphone.
Chen Yao put down her chopsticks and asked, "What? Don't want to talk about it again?"
The system shook its head vigorously, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare."
Chen Yao lowered her eyes and said nothing.
......
After a day and a night, Qi Yunxiao finally came out of the small dark room.
He looked no different except that he looked a little paler.
The Marquis had him brought to the conference room and had a chat with him.
This is also the last step of the assessment.
"How do you feel? After you came out from inside, who was the first person you thought of and what was the first thing you thought of? Tell me in detail." The Marquis sat at the top, looking straight at him.
Qi Yunxiao clenched his hands slightly and spoke slowly, "When I first entered, I didn't feel anything except that everything around me was too quiet. But after a while, I started to feel uneasy, anxious, confused, and lonely. I tried to meditate to get through that long period, but ultimately failed."
The Marquis nodded. "Well, quite a few people told me the same thing after they came out. So what happened next? How did you overcome that anxiety, confusion, and loneliness?"
Qi Yunxiao pursed his lips and whispered, "I...overcame it by relying on my expectations for the future and my vague fantasies."
Hearing this, the Marquis smiled and said, "That answer is quite novel. So what happened after you came out? Who or what did you think of first?"
Qi Yunxiao clenched his hands again, "At that time, I only thought about how good it was to be out, and the rest... I didn't think about it."
In fact, he lied. When he just came out, the first person that came to his mind was Chen Yao.
The first thing that came to mind was to tell Chen Yao that he was out.
But these... he couldn't say them in front of the Marquis.
Qi Yunxiao pursed his lips and lowered his pensive gaze.
At this moment, the Marquis' eyes flashed, and he didn't say much, just said "oh" meaningfully.
…
When Chen Yao saw Qi Yunxiao again, he was already wearing the official guard uniform of the Marquis' Mansion.
"I have officially passed all the tests and will be your bodyguard from now on," he said to her.
Chen Yao first congratulated him, and then she noticed the new sword on his waist.
"You have a sword now? I was thinking that since you've just taken office, I'd take you to the east of the city to pick out a nice sword for you as a congratulations."
The sword he used for daily practice was an old sword that Ling Su found from his own place and lent to him temporarily. After Chen Yao knew about it, she thought that she must personally give him a good sword in the future.
But now he has a new sword, just...
Qi Yunxiao was stunned, his fingertips lightly touched the sword at his waist, and then he took it off.
Chen Yao was a little surprised: "What do you mean?"
