Finally... Lin Tongxi got the reply.
"Sir, you'd better go back and change your clothes as soon as possible, so as not to get sick." The woman handed over another umbrella to Lin Tongxi.
"Excuse me, young lady, what is your name?" Lin Tongxi asked about the identity of the person in front of him.
According to the information obtained from [Intelligence Probing], the other party seems to be just an ordinary woman.
"Young Master, you may call me Qian'er. That's what my master usually calls me," Qian'er replied. "Please have a good rest today. Come to Yuliu Pavilion tomorrow morning at noon to take the test."
Lin Tongxi nodded, glanced at his wet clothes, and looked like a drowned chicken. It was indeed time to go back and rest.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir and young lady. I will definitely come to Yuliu Pavilion to take the test tomorrow morning. Please convey my message to you, sir." Lin Tongxi saluted with his fists.
"Sir, there's no need to be so polite. Go back and change your clothes as soon as possible." Qian'er responded, and then seemed to remember something: "By the way, you can bring others with you."
"However, according to the master's rules, there can't be too many people taking the test, to avoid unfairness."
"The master noticed that you brought five companions with you, saying that you could take the test together."
Can you bring five companions... Lin Tongxi was originally prepared to fight alone.
Fortunately, Mr. Qingli seemed moved by his sincerity and allowed his companions to participate.
If Lin Tongxi relied solely on his IQ, he probably wouldn't be able to deal with Mr. Qingli, who is famous for his intelligence.
"Okay, sir, please go back. I have to go back to take care of my master." Qian'er made a gesture of invitation.
Lin Tongxi nodded, then went back to his residence with the umbrella.
On the way, Lin Tongxi met other people.
"Tongxi, why are you back? And you have an umbrella in your hand. Could it be..." Shen Xingyao began to speculate what had just happened.
"Yes, this umbrella was given to me by Mr. Qingli, and he also allowed us to come and take the test tomorrow." Lin Tongxi said excitedly.
"Hey, you're even risking getting sick to prove your sincerity. If you still don't agree, then Mr. Qingli will be too unkind. Okay, go back and change your clothes." Su Ruoxue had a complicated expression and took out a handkerchief and handed it to Lin Tongxi to wipe his wet hair.
Lin Tongxi took the handkerchief. Although it was wet, he felt happy.
One is that Mr. Qingli finally gave him a chance, and the other is that someone cared about him.
The six people returned to their residence and prepared to have a good rest to recharge their energy for tomorrow's test.
The next morning, Lin Tongxi and the others arrived at Yuliu Pavilion early, waiting for news from Mr. Qingli.
The veiled woman from yesterday reappeared, going out with six children.
"Young Master is indeed a punctual person. He came here to wait before noon." Qian'er praised Lin Tongxi in a cold voice.
Although the tone was emotionless, Lin Tongxi decided to ignore these details and focus on the test.
"Are you and the others ready? These tests have time limits and must be passed within the specified time."
"If you exceed the time limit, it means that you are not destined to be with me, and you will have no choice but to leave."
Seeing that everyone nodded, indicating that they were ready, the maid Qian'er began to explain the test.
Mr. Qingli's test is divided into three levels, each with a corresponding time limit.
The first level needs to be completed before the end of the morning, the second level needs to be completed before the end of the afternoon, and the third level needs to be completed before the end of the evening.
If it is not completed before the hour of Hai, it will be declared a failure.
Lin Tongxi glanced at his phone, which meant that they needed to complete the levels before 11:00, 19:00, and 23:00 respectively, leaving them 4, 8, and 4 hours to complete them respectively.
Moreover, the time for eating and resting must be deducted from the 8 hours, so there is actually not much time in between.
"Okay, now let's proceed to the first level."
"This first level is called Visiting the Three Talents. The teacher gave three riddles: one is geese flying apart, two is eight people, and three is the heart looking towards the green."
"This test requires you to find the corresponding wooden boxes according to the riddles. You must hand in the corresponding boxes before noon."
"You can split up and act separately. These children will follow you to observe your performance."
"Okay, you guys can take action now."
After that, the six of them began to discuss.
The first level is called "Visiting the Three Talents." What does this name mean? A corresponding riddle is also provided.
"Well... does 'visiting the three talents' mean that we should visit three wise men? And these three wise men have boxes on them, and we need to get them from them." Ah Xiu was the first to put forward her opinion.
"Yeah, I think so too. The riddle may be referring to the corresponding person." Wei Zhaoshan agreed with A Xiu's opinion.
"In that case, let's guess the meaning of the riddle first, and then divide into three groups to find people." Lin Tongxi immediately divided them into groups.
I am in a group with Su Ruoxue, A Xiu is in a group with Wei Zhaoshan, and Shen Xingyao is in a group with Xiaojiu.
Each group has both men and women. As the saying goes, men and women work together and work is less tiring.
"Well, I think visiting the Three Talents might not mean visiting the talented." Shen Xingyao shook her head, overturning the premise of looking for someone.
Lin Tongxi then realized that they had set the mission objectives too quickly and had not yet fully discussed the name of the level "Visiting the Three Talents".
If they strayed from the topic, their whole morning would have been wasted.
"Huh? Xingyao, isn't that what you mean?" Su Ruoxue expressed her confusion.
"Uh...actually, I don't think it means visiting talented people. I seem to have seen 'Three Talents' in a book, and this word seems to have another meaning." Xiaojiu agreed with Shen Xingyao's opinion.
