Yu Xingwu looked around and was shocked that there was such a vast space on the first floor of the pagoda.

When she was standing outside the pagoda just now, she thought there was not much space inside the pagoda, at most like an attic. Facts proved that she was too narrow-minded.

Yun Xiao also sighed: "I didn't expect that there would be such a large space inside this pagoda. I don't know if there is something hidden inside, or if there is an illusion array set up here. What we see is not real."

After hearing Yun Xiao's words, Yu Xingwu subconsciously looked towards the lattice window and walked to the window.

But through the window, all they could see was darkness. There was no trace of the Buddha's soul that was shining brightly, nor were there any signs of Yun Ci and the other two.

But before entering the pagoda, they clearly saw the lights on inside the pagoda through the lattice windows, and even saw Jiang Yan's figure. But after entering the pagoda, the scene outside the pagoda was only darkness.

Even if the remnant soul disappears temporarily, Yun Ci and the other two will leave.

Could it be that, as Yun Xiao said, there was an illusion array set up on the first floor of the pagoda, so we can't see the real scene outside?

Just when he was wondering, he heard Qi Yu say with certainty: "It's not an illusion, this is indeed the real space inside the pagoda."

"Look at the stairs over there. If we go up the stairs, we should reach the second floor of the pagoda."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Xingwu saw someone walking to the stairs. It was Song Xinghe.

Before walking up the stairs, he glanced at them. To be more precise, he glanced at her. His eyes were somewhat provocative, as if he wanted to compete with her to see who could reach the seventh floor of the pagoda first.

System: "The host stole Song Xinghe's master. He regards the host as an imaginary enemy and wants to compete with the host in everything he does."

Yu Xingwu felt that the system couldn't speak. What did it mean that she stole Song Xinghe's master? It was obviously the beautiful master who didn't like Song Xinghe, so why blame her?

Just as Song Xinghe was about to climb the stairs, rows of bookshelves suddenly appeared out of thin air on the first floor of the vast pagoda, and the bookshelves were filled with books.

If she didn't know that this was the first floor of the pagoda, she would have thought she had entered the library.

The system incarnation is very smart: "Host, so many books suddenly appeared here, I want you to make a choice!"

Yu Xingwu also realized it.

She originally thought that entering the pagoda would involve a fight, or that they would have to complete a test before entering the second floor, but in the end they were just asked to make a choice, whether to go directly up the stairs to the second floor, or stay on the first floor to read the books.

Both options have their pros and cons. If you go directly to the second floor, you will definitely be ahead of those who stay on the first floor reading books in terms of time.

The first person to reach the seventh floor of the pagoda can obtain the inheritance and enter the second floor first, and has a greater chance of being the first to reach the seventh floor.

However, there is a saying that there is a golden house in books. Although the remnant soul is a Buddhist practitioner, the books collected in the pagoda are not necessarily all scriptures. No one can say for sure whether there are any ancient secrets in these books.

If there really is such a book among them, even if I cannot take the book away, I can just memorize the contents of the secret book silently, and there is no need to worry about not being able to practice after I get out.

Therefore, it is not necessarily a bad thing to stay on the first floor and read books. Although you will reach the second floor a step later, you may gain something or even make a surprising discovery.

Yun Xiao: "No wonder when we saw Lao Si outside the pagoda, he was already on the second floor. I can guarantee that Lao Si didn't read these books and didn't even look back before going up."

Yu Xingwu nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yan was not only straightforward, but also had a quick temper. She could imagine how incongruous it would be if she asked him to stay here and read.

I even imagined Jiang Yan's reaction after seeing the rows of bookshelves—a cold snort, and some curses:

Damn it, I’ve never read any books in my life. Only those weak and frail pretty boys like to read these things. I have to get up there quickly!

I also asked: "So, Third Senior Brother, are you going to go directly to the second floor?"

Yun Xiao frowned, seeming to be struggling with this question, but soon came up with an answer.

"It's not that I'm not interested in these books, but I'm a little worried about the fourth brother. Junior Sister, do you want to go up with me? Or with Senior Brother Shen?"

Yu Xingwu shook her head: "Third Brother, please go to the second floor first. I want to stay and take a look."

After saying that, his eyes fell on Shen Zhuo again: "Second Brother, you don't have to accompany me. Only the first person to reach the seventh floor can obtain the inheritance. I hope that the brothers will not let me go. Opportunity is all about fate."

"You two brothers must work harder. The eldest brother, Qi brother, and Su brother are all very powerful. If you are late, the inheritance may be obtained by other brothers."

The senior brother that Yu Xingwu mentioned was naturally Yun Chong. As the chief disciple, Yun Chong was the senior brother of all the disciples in the sect.

Even the first disciples of the immortal masters of each peak have to call Yun Chong "senior brother".

While Yu Xingwu was speaking, Yun Chong, Qi Yu and Su Zisheng had already walked towards the stairs, having obviously made a decision.

Song Xinghe could no longer be seen in front of the stairs, which showed that even after seeing rows of bookshelves, Song Xinghe still chose to go directly to the second floor.

When Yun Xiao saw Yun Chong and the other two going up the stairs, he reminded Yu Xingwu to be careful and followed her upstairs. He felt relieved because Shen Er was accompanying his junior sister.

In just a short while, Jiang Yan, Yun Chong, Yun Xiao, Qi Yu, Song Xinghe and Su Zisheng climbed to the second floor of the pagoda one after another. Except for Shi Ning who was injured and did not come in, only Yu Xingwu, Shen Zhuo and Yu Yuefu were left on the first floor.

The system was suddenly excited: "Host, the opportunity has come! Yu Yuefu wants to kill you. Knowing that you are staying on the first floor, she will definitely follow you and wait for the opportunity to kill you! Once Shen Zhuo leaves, she will most likely attack the host!"

The little rabbit also thought so: [Sister, aren't you supposed to cooperate with this bad woman in acting? If brother leaves, the bad woman will definitely think that this is her chance and will definitely attack sister! ]

Yu Xingwu nodded silently in her heart, feeling that what the system and the little rabbit said were right.

He immediately grabbed Shen Zhuo's hand and said, "Brother, you really don't have to stay here with me to read books! A real man should go to fight! In my heart, you are the most powerful, and you will definitely be able to reach the seventh floor before them!"

System: "Points +200! Host's current points are 886! Host's licking skills are improving, and now the licking is becoming more and more natural!"

Although the host didn't say the word "like", she said that the villain is the most powerful in her heart, so naturally he is powerful in every way, ahem... Isn't this called licking? This must be called!

Yu Xingwu: [I am just telling the truth. There are few villains who are not strong. I will finish the mission after he leaves.]

System: One villain is enough for you to bear, how many more do you want?

When Shen Zhuo heard the inner voice, his eyes darkened.

Thinking about how she had stared at Qi Yu for a long time and praised Qi Yu, he felt that he should fight for it.

If he could be the first to climb the seven-story pagoda, would she only have eyes for him?

As for her mission, he should cooperate and leave. He and her have already formed a spiritual bond. If Yu Yuefu hurts her, he will also feel empathy, and then he will show up and kill Yu Yuefu.

He leaned forward slightly, his breath brushing against Yu Xingwu's ear: "Okay, if you have anything, send me a message as soon as possible."
