The End of Ten Days: When Qi Xia Enters the Tales of Rules

Speaking of Di Jun, many people may not know him.

But when it comes to the Jade Emperor in the heavens, many people suddenly understand.

Legend has it that he founded the ancient Heavenly Court. He had ten sons who became the ten suns in the sky. Later, Yi shot down nine of them, leaving only one.

He and Chang Xi had twelve moons, each representing a month, which became a carrier of time.

Therefore, there are twelve months in a year.

Lin Yi was completely stunned to find himself encountering a young Di Jun here.

Therefore, it's not surprising that he was able to create a world of ghost stories.

Seeing Lin Yi in a daze, Di Jun asked, "You still haven't said what your purpose is in coming here?"

Lin Yi got straight to the point, saying, "Qi Xia said she wants to discuss a deal with you in detail."

As for the deal Qi Xia mentioned, Lin Yi naturally guessed about 80-90% of it.

What Qi Xia has always been pursuing is nothing more than the liberation of the End of the Land.

Di Jun said, "Why doesn't he negotiate the deal with me himself?"

Lin Yi thought to himself: Isn't that obvious? If he could come, why would I waste my breath talking to you here?

Even though he didn't realize that this guy would become the ruler of the Heavenly Court in the future, he still showed him some respect.

"Qi Xia can only appear in the world of ghost stories," Lin Yi explained.

Di Jun nodded: "That's interesting. He can't get out, and I can't get in. Did he say he wanted to make any deal with me? What conditions could he offer?"

That's true. With so many talented people under Di Jun's command, what can Qi Xia bring to Di Jun?

"I don't know about that. You can ask him yourself. Anyway, I've already passed on the message."

Di Jun remained silent, lost in thought.

Lin Yi suddenly remembered that he still had the magical rose, so he had an idea.

"Why don't I listen to what this brat Di Jun is thinking?"

I composed myself and silently prayed, holding the rose in my hand.

soon.

Di Jun's thoughts reached Lin Yi's ears.

"If it weren't for that thing, the world of ghost stories wouldn't have been born. To find that thing, one must complete twelve tests. What conditions should be offered to recruit this kid?"

Lin Yi was taken aback, not expecting that this brat Di Jun actually wanted to recruit him into his ranks.

I thought the trip to the demon realm might be life-threatening.

It seems I was overthinking it; Di Jun is an unconventional talent recruiter.

But what exactly is that thing he's thinking about?

Also, does his mention of "twelve" exams mean that there are only twelve cheat tests in total?

Wait a minute! Twelve? Why twelve?

Lin Yi's thoughts were immediately drawn to Twelve.

The poem "The End of the Ten Days" is actually called "The End of the Twelve Days".

Also, the Chinese zodiac is also a set of twelve animals. Is there any connection between them?

Just as Lin Yi was pondering, Di Jun spoke up: "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Yi was startled and quickly composed himself. If Di Jun knew that Lin Yi was cursing him, Di Jun, in his heart, things would be very bad.

"It's nothing, I was just wondering if you would agree to Qi Xia's deal."

Di Jun said, "Sure. It's just a pity I can't enter the world of ghost stories, otherwise I could have a good chat with this Qi Xia."

Lin Yi asked, "Didn't you create the Strange Tales World? Can't you even enter it yourself?"

Di Jun said quietly, "The birth of a world is never as simple as it seems. Once a world is born, it has a reason for existing. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Yi thought to himself, "Understand what? If I could understand these things, I would have gone to heaven and become the Heavenly Emperor."

However, the superficial work still needs to be done well.

"I understand, I understand what you're saying. So, does that mean the deal between Qi Xia and you is done?"

Di Jun nodded: "I also admire him very much."

Lin Yi said, "Then it's settled. We're leaving."

Di Jun hurriedly raised his hand: "Wait!"

All the doors were closed, blocking their escape route.

Has this guy changed his mind?

brush!

brush!

Li Pingan and Zhang Aoxue both drew their longswords.

Lin Yi hurriedly took out the roses and eavesdropped on Di Jun's thoughts.

"What conditions should I offer to keep this kid participating in the trick exams?"

Lin Yi had initially thought that Di Jun was going to force him, but now that he heard Di Jun's thoughts, he felt much more relaxed.

As long as Dijun has a request, there is room for negotiation.

No, it's not just about maneuvering; we need to find a way to really rip him off.

Di Jun said, "Now that you have come to the Demon Realm, I should extend the hospitality of a host and treat you well. Someone! Bring tea!"

Li Ping'an and Zhang Aoxue looked at each other in surprise. They had thought there would be a big battle, but they didn't expect that Di Jun would invite them to have tea.

Needless to say, there must be a big problem with this so-called tea, and we need to find a way to shirk responsibility.

Several dwarves carrying tea sets slowly walked out.

Several fairy ladies carrying teapots descended from the sky.

"You are all guests from afar, you should stay a few more days," Di Jun said.

Li Ping'an and Zhang Aoxue exchanged a glance. Judging from the other's tone, they probably wanted to keep them under house arrest here.

They weren't afraid of being under house arrest, but Lin Yi had the heavy responsibility of taking the exam.

If we can't get back in time and miss the exam, then the fortune value of the Divine Grace Continent will be...

Thinking of this, the two exchanged a knowing glance.

They were prepared to risk their lives to escort Lin Yi out.

They had actually made the worst-case scenario plan: if the demon race really caused trouble, the only option would be for Lin Yi to use the token to escape.

After all, Lin Yi had a token that allowed him to enter the world of supernatural tales at any time.

Just as the two were about to give Lin Yi a wink, signaling him to use the token to escape, Lin Yi said with a smile, "Tea is good, I love tea the most. Come, everyone, sit down and have some tea."

Done.

He took the teapot from the fairy lady, poured himself a bowl, and gulped it down.

Li Ping'an and Zhang Aoxue were about to dissuade him, but remembering Guo Jing's instructions, they didn't say anything more.

Guo Jing instructed them to only assist Lin Yi from the sidelines, and that whatever Lin Yi wanted to do was entirely up to him.

With this thought in mind, the two had no choice but to let Lin Yi do as he pleased.

Di Jun nodded: "Not bad, young man, you have a lot of spirit. Aren't you afraid I might poison your tea?"

"There's no need for that. You have so many capable and extraordinary people under your command. If you wanted to kill us, you wouldn't need to do this."

Di Jun smiled slightly, picked up the tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Yi thought to himself: This old guy is quite patient.

He clearly wanted Lin Yi to take the exam, but he never mentioned it, showing his deep cunning.

What Lin Yi couldn't understand was why Di Jun also wanted him to win the Gui Kao.

Is there some other explanation for this special exam?
