10 This Fool Is Not Simple

Moistness clouded the young man's eyes once more. Through the hazy moisture, he took in Mu Ruyue's cold and delicate profile. "Elder Sister, you have a beautiful heart."

A beautiful heart?

It was the first time Mu Ruyue had ever heard such a compliment.

In her previous life, she was nothing more than a demon, and she had no idea how many lives perished in her hands. This young man just reminded her of her former brother, so she spouted all that nonsense just now.

But… that was all.

"Also, you look older than me, so stop calling me Elder Sister."

"But…"

"No buts," Mu Ruyue cut in harshly as she glared at him ruthlessly.

The young man seemed intimidated and grievances hung in his eyes as he cast a cautious look at Mu Ruyue, whose expression was now unpleasant.

On the other hand, the young man's crestfallen look softened Mu Ruyue's heart. She sighed softly and apologized, "Sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you. After all, we're just strangers who stumbled into each other. It was also my misfortune to have served as your scapegoat. We'll never meet again in the future, so let's just leave it at that."

With that, she picked up Yan Jin, who was watching the show on the sidelines, and disappeared into the bright sunlight without turning back.

Thus, she missed the change that took place on the face of the handsome youth looking at her. His face went from his original innocent charm to in-depth scrutiny.

Yan Jin, whom Mu Ruyue was carrying in her arms, squinted his domineering black eyes and fixed a sharp gaze at the young man behind them.

Although the youth had withdrawn that probing gaze by then…

"That fool is not simple."

Is he really a simpleton?

Yan Jin laughed. But whether he was a simpleton or not, what did that have to do with him?

"Hey, have you guys heard? It's said that Qingyun School is holding a test session to help warriors of Feng City test their talents. It's an opportunity that comes only once in a few years. Let's quickly go check it out."

A test session?

Mu Ruyue naturally stopped in her tracks. Her eyes focused subtly and a glimmer of light swept through her dark eyes.

From the memories left by the previous host, she figured out that Qingyun School came to Feng City every three years and conducted a test session to help those who hadn't yet set foot on the martial arts path to test their abilities.

One's talents determined his future feats.

The reason why Qingyun School conducted this session was to select excellent seedlings outside to enter the sect. The former fiance of the previous host, His Royal Highness, Ye Tianfeng, was also selected as an inner disciple of Qingyun School because of his outstanding talent.

"I still don't know how talented I am, so I might as well take the opportunity to test myself out." Mu Ruyue gently stroked her chin, a glimmer appearing in her eyes.

Although she underwent a talent test 9 years ago, her meridians were blocked which made qi circulation impossible. Thus, her test results indicated she was a waste.

"Girl, what? You want to perform the test?" Yan Jin clearly read what Mu Ruyue was thinking and perked up. "Then go and test yourself. This deity also wants to know what kind of a genius the Alchemical Book chose as its master."

Thinking about the Alchemical Book which had trapped him for ten thousand years, Yan Jin gritted his teeth with hatred.

"Okay." Mu Ruyue nodded with a smile. "I'm also very interested in this test."

With that, she followed the group of lively people towards the testing hall that Qingyun School had built in the secular world.

But when they got there, Mu Ruyue realized that many among the crowd looked like they were watching a stage show. Because they had already gone through the talent test before, now there were nothing more than babies.

Hence, she stood there alone in the midst of the group like a crane in a flock of chicken.
