When everyone heard this, they started to feel nervous.
Anubis squinted his dog-like eyes and asked, "Who...who will start first?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Sofia stepped forward first.
"Let me begin."
She knew that her heart was the most imperfect, the most incomplete, and the most hopeless, so she might as well go up sooner and give up this thought sooner.
Anubis gestured for him to enter.
Sophia slowly stepped onto the scales of truth, and the feathers on the opposite side began to glow.
The light is judging whether Sophia is qualified to be the master of Libra.
However, the light soon faded.
Sofia's entire body fell weightlessly.
Anubis chuckled maliciously and said, "Oh dear, unfortunate young man, you are not at all compatible with Libra. It seems you can only be locked up here and wait for the next master of Libra to appear—what a pity, who knows how long you will have to wait?"
That smug tone makes it hard not to want to chop its dog head off with an axe.
But everyone here is a kind and good person, and they wouldn't do that.
Sofia also regretfully stepped off the scales and walked to Kwon Ji's side.
She touched her throat and said, "As expected, keep it up!"
She had a strong premonition that either the young lady or Marshal Jun would become the master of Libra!
Just looking at the young lady dressed in gold and silver, it's not hard to imagine what she went through in the four temples—Libra probably wouldn't appreciate a girl like her who loves money honestly, right?
After all, the young lady doesn't even spare broken bottles... cough cough cough, she's definitely not saying anything bad about the young lady!
Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan exchanged a glance and asked almost simultaneously, "Who goes first?"
"You go first."
The two were on the same wavelength, almost achieving a resonance, and laughed in unison.
Sofia, standing to the side: I'll drink this bowl of dog food first!
Quan Ji shook off the gold and silver covering her body and said, "You go first. If I go first, you won't have a chance."
Jun Chenlan stared at Quan Ji, his deep, beautiful, pure black eyes carrying a hint of a smile: "So sure?"
Quan Ji raised an eyebrow: "When have you ever seen me looking uncertain?"
Jun Chenlan chuckled.
That's true.
His young lady has always been very certain of the direction she wants to take.
...
Jun Chenlan also went up and stood on the Libra side.
On the other side, the feather emitted a strong white light.
The scales began to tilt, sometimes higher on the left, sometimes higher on the right.
Finally, after the light shone for a while, it faded away.
Jun Chenlan felt weightlessness and jumped down without hesitation, not giving himself a chance to lose his composure.
"It seems I wasn't chosen by it either."
At this moment, a dog's head silently poked out and said in a sly tone, "Oh my, even you can't get up there, so no one else can... Miss, you can't count on it. I've been guarding this place for so many years, and I've never seen anyone get Libra's approval after receiving even the slightest benefit. Besides, Miss has had quite a haul today."
"What a pity, what a pity. The three of you will have to stay with me forever in this secret realm."
"Don't be afraid, we'll see the next Libra master appear sooner or later, ho ho..."
Before it could finish its "bragging," Quan Ji calmly took the huge jade seal out of the bottle and smashed it on the dog's face.
You can't expect ivory to come out of a dog's mouth.
"I haven't gone up yet."
Quan Ji lazily glanced at Anubis, a confident smile involuntarily appearing on her lips.
Anubis's dog face was almost flattened by the jade seal, but because the other party was a young lady, it could only accept it with grievance.
Anubis: "Now, please go up, young lady."
Quan Ji raised an eyebrow indifferently.
No rush.
The sound fell softly, leaving everyone somewhat puzzled.
Whether you're in a hurry or not, the result will be the same, right?
However, at this moment, Quan Ji did something that no one expected.
She walked to her broken bottle, placed the enormous jade seal on it, followed by the four axes, and slowly removed her gold and silver jewelry, putting it all into the bottle.
Everyone: "???"
What are we supposed to do?
Just as everyone was wondering, Quan Ji calmly picked up the heavy bottle, which weighed an unknown amount, and walked directly to the scales near the feather. Without saying a word, she pressed the bottle down.
Everyone: "???"
They seemed to know what the young lady was going to do.
Anubis: "This...this won't do, young lady. Feathers have a spirit. You're really going to do this?"
Others were also shocked and wanted to ask the same question.
Quan Ji shrugged: "Who knows? Anyway, there are no rules against doing this. Whether we can suppress it or not... we'll see."
Anubis: "...Good heavens."
Jun Chenlan: "..."
Sophia: "The young lady is indeed... exceptionally intelligent."
Will this method really work?
That won't work...
At this moment, Kwon Ji walked to the other side of the scale and stood still.
The feathers that had been pressed to the bottom began to glow, and the scales started to move. Because the other side was so heavy, Quan Ji lifted it up, and it almost took off.
Everyone: "Holy crap..."
However, at this moment, Quan Ji began to slowly decline again, and the situation between the two sides stabilized.
