Selection day.

Early in the morning, Su Wu could feel the different emotions of the people around him.

Excited, thrilled, longing, and looking forward to it.

They each changed into their best clothes, and some even put on makeup, which made Su Wu feel creepy.

Even Sakata showed a solemn look that was completely different from usual, looking like a gentleman.

It is true that clothes make the man, and seeing that Su Wu was still dazed and hadn't woken up yet, Sakata was stunned for a moment: "Why don't you go and clean up? Those ladies will be here soon. Do you want to appear in front of them like this?"

But Su Wu just smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I'll get ready in a moment. Sakata, you go first. I'm feeling a little unwell..."

"I'm not feeling well at this time..." Sakata was speechless, but he didn't say anything. He just left a sentence, "Pack up quickly and come here." Then he left with the other young men.

After all, he couldn't possibly delay his important matters because of Su Wu.

Looking at his leaving back, Su Wu shook his head.

He had no intention of changing his clothes, but instead took some food and started walking in another direction.

His target was the tallest lookout tower nearby.

He planned to take a look at the layout of the place so as to plan several escape routes.

While everyone else was eager to climb up, he was the only one thinking about escaping from here.

The atmosphere at Tianhui Shrine today is obviously very lively.

After sunrise, the sky was filled with pure white, the sun was shining brightly, and the air was filled with a pleasant fragrance.

Su Wu couldn't describe the fragrance, but at least he didn't hate it.

Most of the people in the shrine had gone to the selection site, which made him, the only one wandering around, look a little odd. However, there was no one else around, so no one would pay attention to him.

The deserted ninth level became unusually deserted at this time.

At least it can be confirmed that other people who went up the mountain to participate in the ghost marriage ceremony should have been pulled into this world.

In other words.

The competition has already begun...

And this time, the three young ladies may also participate.

Su Wu carried food on his back and walked slowly towards the lookout tower.

The overall structure of Tianhui Temple is very peculiar, like a huge city embedded in the mountain. The city is divided into nine layers from top to bottom, and the identities of the people living on each layer are different.

The ninth level is the least valued level. The tallest watchtower here may not be as tall as the lowest building on the eighth level.

But this is also the level closest to the exit.

When Su Wu appeared in an empty small square near the watchtower, he was a little stunned.

He thought there should be no one else around.

But I didn't expect it.

Looking at the masked girl in front of him who was carrying a cotton blanket clumsily, Su Wu inexplicably felt like not wanting to get closer.

The latter obviously noticed Su Wu, the uninvited guest. She stopped her clumsy movements and looked at Su Wu with a somewhat cold look.

Su Wu didn't say anything, but walked away in a direction not close to her.

Seeing that Su Wu might be just a passerby, the girl withdrew her gaze and began to move the blanket clumsily again.

The blanket was very heavy and the girl was very thin, but what she was wearing looked very unusual. It was not clear why she, who looked so noble, would carry a blanket.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be done by the maids?

However, Su Wu had no intention of getting involved.

After all, he would be wary of those people who appeared out of nowhere.

however…

thump…

"Woo!" The sound of a girl falling suddenly rang out.

Su Wu paused as he was about to move forward.

After a while, he sighed.

He turned around and walked slowly towards the girl.

It was obvious that the girl had never done housework before. Her movements were extremely clumsy. In addition, the expensive clothes she was wearing were not suitable for work, such as carrying things.

So the girl fell down.

Su Wu walked over and was met with the girl's wary gaze.

Her eyes were cold and blood red, with a kind of eerie beauty.

Seeing those blood-red eyes, Su Wu subconsciously looked at the color of her hair.

Under the pure white cotton hat, the long black hair is kept very neatly.

Not white...

Su Wu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hello, do you need help?" He came to a place not far from the girl, but did not rush to help. Instead, he asked softly.

Hearing Su Wu's question, the girl's bloodshot eyes paused.

“I can’t move this…”

She was referring to the blanket.

Su Wuhearing this, nodded: "Where do you want to move to? I can help you."

After hearing what Su Wu said, the girl stood up silently. She took a step back and looked up: "Just move to the observation tower, thank you..."

Her eyes were very beautiful, almost the same as Fengshi's. If her hair was not black, completely different from Fengshi's, Su Wu might have thought she was one of the three ladies.

But now it seems that this person should also be a noble lady who entered the shrine this time.

I just don't know why she didn't go to the selection site, but went to some observation tower.

Su Wu was a little stunned.

If I go to the lookout tower, wouldn't that be the same as him?

Could it be that this guy also wants to escape from here?

However, he did not think too much about it. Under the silent gaze of the girl, he picked up the soft blanket that exuded a certain fragrance, and then walked towards the watchtower.

The girl was petite. She looked at Su Wu's back, tugged at the hem of her white bathrobe, and followed him in small steps.

On her waist hung an exquisite dagger.

"What's your name?" The girl looked a little cold, but in fact she was not afraid of people.

"My name is Su Wu." Su Wu replied casually. He didn't feel anything special about the girl. She was just a cute, three-no girl.

"My name is Tianhui Qingkong." The girl introduced herself very politely.

When Su Wu heard her name, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.

The priestesses of Tenkai basically all have the surname Tenkai, so it is normal for the girl to be named Tenkai Qingkong.

He thought it was nothing, but his reaction made the girl stunned.

After all, in this huge temple, Su Wu was the first person she had seen who could remain so calm after knowing her name.

But it is also possible that Su Wu does not know her.

Therefore, although the girl was a little surprised, she did not react too much, but looked at Su Wu strangely.

After all, being treated like an ordinary girl by others like this is something Qingkong hasn't experienced for a long time.

"Looking at your attire, Miss Qingkong, you must be an important figure in the Tianhui clan, right?"

"Are you an important person? Is there any problem?" The girl's tone was cold, which made people easily think that she was the kind of person who was difficult to get along with. But for Su Wu, the girl's cold attitude made him feel safe.

"Of course there is no problem. I was just worried that I might have offended you before, and I didn't mean to guess your identity." Su Wu answered casually.

"You didn't offend me. On the contrary, you helped me. I should be the one thanking you." Qingkong was not arrogant. Although his tone was cold, he was surprisingly polite.

"I'm not saying thank you. After all, I'm a ninth-level person now, and it's my duty to do some chores."

Hearing Su Wu say this, Qingkong was a little surprised: "Speaking of the ninth level, I remember today should be the selection day, right? Why don't you go to participate in the selection?"

"Didn't your lady go there either?" Su Wu did not rush to reply, but asked her back.

But Qingkong was very serious: "Because I'm not interested in watching them choose products."

It’s OK to choose products…

Su Wu's mouth twitched slightly, and he replied: "I just don't like crowded places. I like to be alone."

"I saw the direction you were going. Are you going to the lookout tower too?" Qingkong suddenly asked.

Su Wu nodded: "Yes, after all, that is the highest place on the ninth level. If we go there, we should be able to see the entire structure of the ninth level."

At this point, he subconsciously looked at Qingkong: "Master Qingkong won't allow me to go with you? If so, then I have no choice but to find another place."

"I don't mean to stop you. This is your own will. Since you don't want to participate in the selection, you are free today." Qingkong shook her head. She had a pure white veil on her face, revealing only a pair of blood-red eyes. She looked full of mystery.

"Besides, I have troubled you. Now you are my benefactor. Since you are my benefactor, I should not restrict you. But I am curious about your purpose of going to the watchtower. Can you tell me in detail?"

"What's the purpose of going to the watchtower? I just want to see what the entire ninth level looks like. Can I plan an escape route..." Su Wu spoke immediately.

But Qingkong looked at him seriously.

"you are very funny."

But she gave Su Wu such an evaluation.

"Actually, I'm not interesting at all. I'm just a lazy person who goes with the flow. Miss, don't expect too much from me, because I will definitely disappoint you."

But when Qingkong heard Su Wu's words, his expression remained unchanged.

She suddenly stretched out her hand, and before Su Wu could react, the end of an exquisite dagger gently pressed against Su Wu's heart.

She was very fast and her movements were so skillful that it was difficult to detect. If the dagger did not have a scabbard, then if the girl used a little more force, Su Wu would have only been faced with a heart pierced through.

Su Wu's pupils suddenly contracted.

Even he didn't react.

What happened just now?

He looked at the exquisite handle.

The girl was very thin, with extremely beautiful fingers and slender arms. She didn't seem to pose any threat at all, but even so, the dagger was still clearly pressed against his heart.

Su Wu looked at the girl, and the girl also looked at Su Wu with bloodshot eyes.

"You don't have to tell me what kind of person you are."

The girl slowly retracted the dagger.

“Because I can see it myself.”

She was referring to Su Wu's heart.

Su Wu's expression was a little stiff, and he stared at the dagger that the girl slowly retracted.

This short knife is so delicate and light that it looks like a work of art rather than a real weapon.

But just now, Qingkong's slight movement made him feel like he might die instantly.

He suddenly felt something was wrong.

No way? What a coincidence?

Chapter 87 Let's smash it together

Tian Hui Qingkong has beautiful eyes, like sparkling rubies, and her long black hair falls behind her head like a waterfall. She looks cold and like an exquisite doll.

She was wearing a white yukata with sky blue patterns on it, which made her look pure and cute, but around her waist was an exquisite short knife.
