"In that case, thank you very much." Lin Jinghan did not refuse. She asked them about Tianque Pavilion along the way. They talked and laughed, and it was very lively.
Sikong Zhan, who came in later, thought he would be able to see his Jinghan once he entered, but what he didn't know was that their waist badges were different, and after passing through the restrictions at the door, they would be in different places:
Lin Jinghan is a direct disciple. Although she has not been recognized yet, she will be in the core area of the outer gate after entering. Sikong Zhan is a guest, so after entering, he will naturally enter the place of the outer gate specially for receiving guests.
"I wonder where you are from, sir? Who do you want to visit in our Tianque Pavilion this time?" Manager Zhou, who was receiving the guest, could not see through Sikong Zhan's cultivation level, and seeing that he looked noble, he received him very politely.
"My name is King Sikong Zhan. A woman came in before me, why didn't I see her?" Sikong Zhan asked with a frown.
Manager Zhou thought for a moment and asked:
"I wonder if the woman you are talking about is a disciple of my Tianque Pavilion?"
Sikong Zhan nodded.
Manager Zhou explained with a smile:
"Your Highness, you may not know that there is a teleportation formation at the gate of Tianque Pavilion. Since you are a guest, if there is no one from Tianque Pavilion to lead the way, you will naturally be teleported here, and we will be responsible for receiving you."
What this means is that your friend didn't bring you with him, so you won't be together after you come in.
"Then where will she be teleported to?" Sikong Zhan frowned.
"She will be teleported to wherever the badge she carries is. I wonder which branch of Tianque Pavilion this woman you are talking about is from?" Manager Zhou said.
Sikong Zhan didn't know much about Tianque Pavilion.
"I don't know. I only know that he is your Pavilion Master's apprentice."
When did the Pavilion Master accept a disciple? Manager Zhou blinked, thinking that he was out of touch with the news. He did not doubt the noble man in front of him, but he did not dare to take the man to the Pavilion Master's Tianque Palace without permission. He could only find a way to stabilize him first.
"Your Highness, please stay in my guest room first. I will report this to the higher-ups. Only with their approval can I take you to the inner gate. Then someone from the inner gate will take you to the Tianque Palace."
Sikong Zhan’s patience has run out. If he continues to do this, when will he be able to see his Jinghan?
He took out Qianxun Cicada and wanted to see if Qianxun Cicada could find Lin Jinghan.
"This is a Chihiro cicada! You actually have a Chihiro cicada!" Manager Zhou was shocked: Isn't this Chihiro cicada something that only the Pavilion Master has?
"It's for the Pavilion Master." Qianxun Chanpu flapped its wings and began to fly away, and Sikong Zhan immediately followed.
"Your Highness, you can't wander around! I'll take you there!" Manager Zhou was worried that he had gone to a place he wasn't allowed to go, so he quickly chased after him.
At this time, Lin Jinghan had already reached the stairs leading up the mountain under the guidance of a group of outer disciples.
"Senior Sister, we can't accompany you on the rest of the way. Just keep going up these stairs and you'll reach the inner gate. Once you get there, I'll find someone to lead the way for you."
"Senior Sister, you must remember this staircase is a test for every disciple entering the Tianque Pavilion. You can only go up. No matter what happens, you must not retreat, otherwise you will lose the qualification to enter the Tianque Pavilion."
And this? Such an important matter, why didn't the master mention it to her? To be cautious, Lin Jinghan asked:
"Everyone, please tell me what will happen when you step onto the stairs?"
"This is a matter of personal fate, Senior Sister. We really can't tell you this."
"Oh." Lin Jinghan felt that she should still trust her master. If he didn't say anything, it meant that this step was not difficult, it must be!
Without any further hesitation, she stepped onto the stairs.
"Jinghan!" Sikong Zhan followed Qianxun Chan all the way here, just in time to see Lin Jinghan's figure disappear on the stairs.
Huh? Sikong Zhan called me? Impossible! He can't come in without a token! Is this a test? Lin Jinghan instantly perked up, determined that no matter who called her, she would never turn back!
Sikong Zhan rushed straight to the stairs, but was stopped by Manager Zhou. "Your Highness, is the woman who just entered the room the one you're looking for?"
"It's her, get out of the way!" Sikong Zhan instantly walked around Manager Zhou.
Manager Zhou didn't even catch the corner of his clothes, and watched him go up the stairs.
"Your Highness, it's useless for you to go in! He's the disciple being assessed, and you're not. You two can't possibly meet!"
Although he reminded him kindly, Sikong Zhan, who had already entered the stairs, could not hear him at all.
The stair test of Tianque Pavilion is a comprehensive test of the disciples' endurance, stamina, and psychological quality.
From the first step, the first stage of the endurance test begins. Those at the top will have their inner strength trapped and unable to be used. The higher you go, the greater the pressure and the more difficult it becomes to climb.
Those who pass the first stage can become outer disciples of Tianque Pavilion.
Lin Jinghan is now in the first stage.
The increase in pressure is not constant. The stronger a person is, the greater the pressure he will bear on the same level. Generally speaking, people who take the test for the first time are warriors, but Lin Jinghan is now a master of the intermediate level, so you can imagine the intensity of the pressure he can withstand.
As soon as she reached the third level, a strong pressure suddenly came over her. Lin Jinghan's body instantly hunched over and she gritted her teeth and took a difficult step. By the time she reached the fifth level, her clothes were soaked with sweat...
On the top of Tianque Mountain, in Tianque Hall, Pavilion Master Xiang was playing chess with the Great Elder.
The Great Elder placed a black pawn and jokingly said, "Are you so confident in your disciple that you won't go and take a look?"
"My favorite disciple is not defeated by such a small difficulty. Let's finish this game of chess first. I will go to the top of the mountain to pick her up later. You can call the elders to come with us." Xiang Yuanqing looked relaxed and placed a white piece.
"Call for food!"
"You, really are! I've never seen a master as careless as you. If your disciple fails the test, I wonder if you still have the nerve to play chess with us..."
The Great Elder couldn't stand the hands-off attitude of their Pavilion Master the most. He left all the work to the elders. These elders really wanted to tie him up in Tianque Palace all the time and make him do the Pavilion Master's job.
Xiang Yuanqing had long been accustomed to this, and said with half-closed eyes:
"Do you dare to make a bet with me? I'll bet your most precious purple gold armor. My disciple just happens to be in need of a defensive inner armor."
The elder blew his beard.
"You lazy fellow, you actually thought of my treasure. Let's gamble. I'm not afraid of you. If your disciple can really pass all the tests, I will give this purple gold armor to the future Pavilion Master!"
Xiang Yuanqing's face was about to bloom with smiles.
"You said it, don't deny it!"
The elder rolled his eyes at him.
"If you lose, you'll have to do your job as Pavilion Master yourself! Don't expect us to help you anymore!"
