What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

Is this even possible?!

Xu Tianlin smiled speechlessly.

This scene hardly resembles the most difficult trial at Lixin Rock, which can drive people crazy or even kill them.

It's more like passing by a neighbor's house and casually feeding their pet a sausage.

And the pet was very satisfied, so it decided not to bite you today.

next moment.

The Moon Butterfly, having eaten and drunk its fill, began to flap its wings again.

A wisp of light gently enveloped Chen Dong and carried him out.

……

Outside Lixin Rock, everyone was still waiting anxiously.

Especially that martial artist who was chanting Buddhist prayers earlier, he's probably chanted for some deity by now, and he's still muttering to himself.

"They're out!"

After a gasp, everyone around looked up sharply.

Some people even subconsciously took two steps back to the side.

He was standing there, perfectly fine, with a normal complexion and no blood on his body.

There was no crazy look in his eyes like, "I must randomly kill two lucky audience members today."

Even though he had only been inside for a short time, the seriousness on his face hadn't completely disappeared yet.

The onlookers were stunned.

The martial artist from the Chu family in charge of the assessment was also visibly stunned for a moment, but quickly confirmed the results reported by Lixin Rock.

"The assessment has been passed!"

"..."

The entire room fell silent.

Chen Dong stood in front of the Heart-Piercing Rock and blinked.

The people around him were also looking at him and blinking.

Then—with a loud bang.

"What?!"

"He passed?!"

The crowd erupted instantly!

The martial artists who were just praying for Chen Dong almost popped their eyes out.

"no!"

"Wait a moment!"

"Just who is this guy?!"

Some people looked at Chen Dong, then at Feng Qian who had already been carried away, and their expressions were almost uncontrollable.

"Qin Lang has gone mad, and Feng Qian is dead!"

"Aren't these two well-known figures among the younger generation?"

"He went in, took a look around, and came out completely unharmed?!"

"brother!"

The martial artist who had just advised Chen Dong not to be blinded by beauty now had his worry completely replaced by admiration.

"You're really good at playing dumb to fool others!"

"So after all that, you were the one who hid the best!"

"So low-key! Extremely low-key!"

Someone immediately chimed in.

"Who says otherwise? It hasn't been that long. Big Brother probably just went in to say hello and came right back!"

"..."

After all, only three people have made it through the second level so far.

One went mad, one died, and one passed through unscathed.

With this contrast presented, Chen Dong's image suddenly became unfathomable at a speed he himself hadn't expected.

Some people have already started making connections in advance.

"I think this man will likely become the Chu family's son-in-law!"

"brother!"

A martial artist cupped his hands in greeting to Chen Dong from a distance.

"If I become rich and powerful, let's not forget each other!"

"Once you join the Chu family, when the brothers go to Xiling Prefecture, will mentioning your name be enough?"

"..."

the other side.

Xu Tianlin watched the entire process of what happened inside Lixin Rock.

Now look at Chen Dong, who is surrounded by people praising him and trying his best to put on an "Oh, no, no, you flatter me" look.

He remained silent for a while, then stretched out a finger and scratched his cheek.

"This kid... he's cheating, isn't he?"

Xu Tianlin finally realized what was happening.

During the first challenge, Chen Dong took out a cloak containing a trace of the Law of Wind, which allowed the raging winds of Thousand Hills Territory to bypass his body.

At the time, Xu Tianlin felt that the kid was quite well prepared, but he didn't think too deeply about it.

After all, Chen Dong himself had said that he had done a lot of preparation beforehand for the Chu family's marriage proposal.

I know the first challenge is Thousand Hills.

Knowing that it tests one's physical strength.

It's not unreasonable to prepare something in advance to deal with strong winds.

But looking at it now...

It seems that things are not like that at all.

Xu Tianlin turned his gaze back to Chen Dong, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"This guy..."

"There's a 99% chance they knew in advance that the Spirit Moon Butterfly was sealed inside the Heart-Piercing Rock."

You should know that the reason Xu Tianlin was able to see the Spirit Moon Butterfly was because he was a cheater.

The binding laws surrounding the Heart-Refining Rock, which were nearly at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm, were like glass to him, offering no protection whatsoever.

But what about the other martial artists who participated in the trial?

Can't see it at all!

At most, outsiders, like Qin Lang and his group, have only heard that Lixin Rock is dangerous and know that it contains some terrifying entity that can create illusions and destroy wills.

Does anyone know for sure that there is a Spirit Moon Butterfly inside?

Not to mention—she just so happens to have a bottle of something Lingyuedie likes to drink with her!

What a coincidence!

You don't know who the examiner is.

As it turned out, when I entered the examination room, I happened to have the examiner's favorite drink in my pocket.

The examiner even makes a heart shape with their hands after you finish drinking.

Then they didn't even hand out the test papers, they just announced—full marks!

Xu Tianlin stared at Chen Dong for a few seconds, and the corner of his mouth twitched little by little.

Good guy.

No wonder this kid didn't seem nervous at all just now.

"You're bribing the examiners, aren't you?"

Xu Tianlin's gaze lingered on Chen Dong's face, and he suddenly remembered the way this guy had secretly glanced at Chu Qian earlier.

"hiss……"

"Could this be a Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai story from another world?"

Xu Tianlin thought of this possibility.

It makes sense that the eldest daughter of the Chu family would know what's inside the Lixin Rock, right?

What if Miss Chu and Chen Dong knew each other before...?

Everything makes sense now.

In addition, for some inexplicable reason, the trial for this marriage proposal has been raised to its maximum difficulty...

"New foundation, wow, one more time, Moheituoci!" (There's only one truth!)

The voice of Detective Conan echoed in Xu Tianlin's mind.

"This marriage selection trial was specifically designed for this Chen Dong!"

The other martial artists here are probably just keeping the prince company while he studies!

Watching Chen Dong humbly respond to the praise from the group of martial artists, a wicked thought suddenly arose in Xu Tianlin's mind.

"Um, let me try next?"

Xu Tianlin stepped forward and said with a smile.

His voice also drew everyone's attention away from Chen Dong's successful completion of the trial.

The martial artists present looked at Xu Tianlin but did not utter a word of mockery.

After all, those who mocked Chen Dong before have now been thoroughly humiliated.

"Big brother..."

Chen Dong looked at Xu Tianlin, feeling a sense of unease.

Through his interactions with Xu Tianlin over this period of time, he could sense that the young man he had happened to meet was definitely not as simple as he seemed.

Chen Dong took two steps closer and whispered in Xu Tianlin's ear.

"Brother, there's a Spirit Moon Butterfly at the Fusion Realm inside! Be careful!"

Xu Tianlin glanced at him.

He has some conscience, but not much.

Why don't you give me one of your little bottles too?
