"Lin Mo... what... what should we do?"
Feeling the solemn gazes of Fu Taibu and Elder Xuanyang, Qingque was momentarily stunned.
Lin Mo glanced at her, shrugged, and sighed, "What else can we do? Just go along with it."
"No, what I mean is, how exactly can we catch Elder Xuan Yang's eye?"
Noticing Lin Mo's nonchalant attitude, Qing Que couldn't help but pout, then punched him hard before whispering cautiously in his ear:
"Elder Xuan Yang looks so frightening, he could easily be compared to my private tutor when I was a kid. How could it be so easy to create a divination array that would please him..."
"Besides, this is something that Grand Tutor Fu cares about so much. If we don't do it well... what if she gets so angry that she suddenly dies on the spot?"
When mentioning Fu Taibu, Qingque paused, glanced at Fu Xuan not far away, and saw that the other party was discussing the trial with Elder Xuanyang before daring to say the words "old woman".
What Qingque didn't expect was that her every move was being observed by the Dharma Eye.
As soon as the words "old woman" were uttered, a vein suddenly bulged on Fu Xuan's forehead...
Lin Mo saw all of this.
Lin Mo swallowed hard, feeling embarrassed. He had originally planned to make a flippant remark to brush it off...
But now...
"Cough cough."
Lin Mo coughed lightly, then smiled and looked at Qing Que, saying, "Don't worry, Qing Que, we must trust Fu Taibu's judgment. Since she... since the Grand Diviner has chosen us, it is her trust in us, and it is also our honor... So, we just need to do our best and not let Fu Taibu down!"
"I believe that Fu Taibu, such an understanding, kind-hearted and beautiful leader, will understand us."
As Lin Mo spoke, he reached out and patted Qing Que's head, saying, "Just go ahead and do it."
As he touched him, he glanced worriedly at Fu Xuan, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that the veins on the other man's head were slowly fading.
"You'd be crazy to think that way!"
Qingque muttered a complaint, then turned away shyly.
Then she couldn't help but turn her head and add another sentence.
"Especially when you say things like that!"
The blush on her face was a badge of honor earned from the gentle head pat.
Lin Mo was momentarily lost in thought as he watched.
After realizing what had happened, Lin Mo smiled helplessly, recalling the other person's reaction and concern.
It seems this young lady doesn't quite believe in her own abilities.
Honestly, from the initial glimpse of talent in ancient books to the remarkable prowess displayed by the Bureau of Works, and finally the demonstration of skills on the parchment scroll, none of this could make Qingque fully trust her abilities.
It was clearly a minor failure.
Lin Mo gave a wry smile.
However, it's obviously not his fault. After all, although he always takes action in every incident, he's always the most low-key... well, I guess, he's probably the most low-key one.
In addition, their constant slacking off and playing cards instead of doing anything productive reinforces the stereotype...
This resulted in Qingque not having a clear understanding of her own abilities.
Sigh, it seems I have to give this little girl a little shock by modifying the formation.
Lin Mo stroked his chin, pondering.
When he was in the Taibu Si, nothing major happened, and Lin Mo rarely showed himself in front of Qing Que.
As for the reason...
Firstly, it was to maintain his low-key style of doing things, and secondly, because he was never the kind of person who liked to show off or be conspicuous.
But now... I'm her boyfriend, how can I not give her a sense of security?
If I don't show her my strength, how will I maintain my position as the younger brother in the family... no, as the emperor in the family?
Thinking of this, Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction, and then began to seriously conceive of the divination array he would use for the trial.
At this moment, Fu Xuan and Elder Xuan Yang had just finished discussing the trial content. The two turned around together, and Fu Xuan spoke first: "The trial content is not complicated. You only need to construct a divination array that roughly imitates the Karma Formation within three hours."
Secretary Xiao He, who had just started working effectively, suddenly turned around, covered her mouth in shock, and said, "Oh dear, Sister Fu Xuan, this is so unfair! Making these two little guys imitate the Karma Formation, a causal array... what's the difference between that and making them manually build a star destroyer?"
At this point, Xiaohe suddenly changed the subject and giggled:
"Fu Taibu, you're so naughty, but I like it very much!"
"Go do your testing tasks!"
Fu Xuan glared at her fiercely and said menacingly.
Lin Mo and Qing Que exchanged an innocent glance.
Then Qingque looked at Fu Taibu with some dissatisfaction, her watery eyes seeming to say, "Fu Taibu, could you please come up with a different plan? Please..."
Seeing this, Fu Xuan sighed and looked at Xuan Yang.
Elder Xuan Yang waved his sleeve and explained, "Don't panic. Before the trial, I will give you fifteen minutes to observe the structural information diagram of the array."
"Furthermore, I don't expect you to achieve a very high level of completion. I will make the decision myself... but I won't tell you exactly what percentage of completion is required. Just do your best."
"This will also better reveal your comprehension and talent."
Elder Xuanyang stroked his white beard and said calmly.
After hearing the additional trial rules from the other party, Qingque was slightly dissatisfied...
What does it mean to say "I don't require a high degree of completion; I will make my own decisions"?
What's the difference between this and asking you to pass a test but not telling you what the passing score is?
As an energy-saving girl, Qingque has always maintained a passive, non-rejecting, and irresponsible attitude towards her work...
Asking her to put in any extra effort under normal circumstances is simply a pipe dream!
Now, the old man isn't reporting the completion rate; he's forcing me to go all out.
What a lousy old man.
Seeing the dissatisfaction in Qingque's eyes, Fu Taibu frowned and said unhappily, "If you have any questions, just raise them. It's best not to wait until the trial to bring them up, as that will delay the progress."
As he spoke, Fu Xuan glared fiercely at Qing Que.
After being scolded again, Qingque instinctively hid behind Lin Mo and quickly forced a smile, saying, "Hehe, the trial plan devised by Fu Taibu is so detailed... how could there be any problems? If anyone has any problems, I, Qingque, will be the first to disagree! Hehe..."
After so many years of being arrested for slacking off, she's been traumatized by Fu Taibu...
Fu Xuan snorted coldly, then looked at Lin Mo, who was deep in thought, and said, "Lin Mo, do you have a question?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo smiled and looked up, saying, "Hehe, Fu Taibu, let's get started quickly."
There are no detailed requirements regarding the completion rate...
Since that's the case, let's use 70% of our strength first.
