'wow… seem like they are way more powerful than I thought.'
However, as soon as I began to observe the information about beauty,
["#$error??#@]
As the events unfolded before me, I realized I had overlooked a crucial detail—I could only perceive the panel of those who resided two realms above my own. Unbeknownst to me, each time I attempted to tap into my innate talents, a subtle yet discernible glow emanated from my white-pupiled eyes…
Suddenly, the captivating beauty vanished from sight, leaving me and the others bewildered by her sudden move. Though confusion gripped my mind, a primal instinct stirred within me…...forewarning of impending danger.
A subtle twitch in my furrowed brow sent a shiver down my spine, triggering beads of sweat to form upon my brow as I grew increasingly vigilant. Then, like a specter materializing from thin air, the beauty appeared right before me in an instant, mere centimeters away.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
The swiftness of her movement left me utterly baffled, as if she had traversed the distance in the blink of an eye.
She approached me, and though my gut told me she was dangerous, I sensed no ill intentions from her. When I first saw her across the hall, I felt nothing, but as she drew closer, I began to feel a strange, almost magnetic connection.
Consequently, I let my guard down; even if I desired to fight against this beauty, would I stand a chance? …..No, a single slap from her would be enough to put me in eternal sleep.
"You have quite an interesting eye, little brother," she remarked, her voice a delicate melody slicing through the tension as her fingers traced a path along my cheek.
A shiver rippled down my spine, a chill of foreboding tightening its grip on my heart. Had she detected something unusual about me when I used my forbidden pupil of the eyes? Or did she feel the same inexplicable bond that drew me towards her?
Whatever the truth, caution whispered its urgent warning in the recesses of my mind. No matter the pull of her beauty or the allure of her words, I knew one thing for certain—I had to make my move carefully in the presence of this cold beauty.
Just like that, because of her, I became popular within mere seconds. As everyone looked at me, I saw a spectrum of emotions on their faces.
Some were envious, others confused, and a few even praised my supposed luck of being touched by a goddess. Yet, there were those who were angry…..and the commotion grew louder.
"That should be me, not him!" a voice exclaimed, dripping with jealousy.
"Sure, he may be good-looking, but look at his shabby appearance. What makes him so special?" another voice chimed in, full of disdain.
Even Mo Gu noticed me; his sneer was evident as he made a statement: "Oh, this nobody again? It looks like I need to teach him some lessons later."
"Oh? Brother Gu, do you know this guy? Who is he, by the way?" Sha Nuo asked, giggling. The others watched; their curiosity piqued.
"He's nothing special, just a passerby who made me uncomfortable with his mere presence," Mo Gu replied. His jealousy towards me was clearly visible on his face.
"Hmm... but why do I feel he is not that ordinary? One must not judge by appearances," Cao Long muttered, his gaze fixed on me, a hint of intrigue in his eyes.
"And just like that, the conversation shifted its focus onto me. Suddenly, I found myself at the center of attention, yet strangely indifferent to the spotlight.
"Ah, thank you for the kind words, ma'am," I responded with a self-conscious chuckle, my hand awkwardly finding its way to scratch my head.
Internally, I couldn't shake off the nagging question: why me?
"No need for such formality; just call me Sister Xiang," she insisted gently.
"It wouldn't feel right to address you so informally, ma'am," I countered, trying to maintain a respectful tone.
"…"
There was a pregnant pause as Xiang regarded me with an inscrutable expression. I realized that disputing her wishes would only complicate matters further, so I acquiesced.
"Heh, alright, Sister Xiang," I replied, forcing a nervous smile.
"Good. I'll be keeping an eye on you from now on. By the way, what's your name?" she inquired.
"It's Xinli, Sister Xiang," I replied promptly.
"Very well, Xinli. Do your best," she said before departing.
As she left, I couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and anticipation. It was as if the door to a new and intriguing chapter of my life had just swung open.
"Fortunate turn of events," I muttered to myself, though excitement simmered beneath the surface. Something told me that this encounter was the prelude to something captivating.
"But for now, let's focus on the task at hand," I reminded myself, glancing around at the watchful eyes fixed upon me.
Ling Fai shouted, "Hey, all of you, be quiet!" and everyone immediately fell silent. He glanced at me, his gaze holding a hint of disdain.
"Now, now, everyone please calm down. Let us proceed with our test without further delay," Tang Bingwen stated calmly. As he spoke, his voice amplified with the help of Qi, ensuring everyone present could hear him.
He gestured towards the Orb and continued, "This is the Spiritual Root-Showing Orb. Once you place your hands on it, it will display numbers representing your spiritual root.
The higher the number, the brighter it will glow, indicating greater potential. Anyone with a number below 4 will be disqualified. But do not worry, as there are other sects to join. Keep striving."
