…
Xu Ze stood at the top of the mountain and looked down at the cultivators desperately climbing it.
Xu Ze gently nodded his head as he examined them.
Not bad. Like the original plot, Ye Fan was initially a little slow, but he soon caught up to most of the other competitors and remained in third place.
Ye Fan would have no trouble passing the first test if there were no accidents.
To maintain the novel's plotline, Xu Ze intentionally designed three tests similar to the original.
Climbing the holy mountain.
Breaking the formation
Testing the talent.
Ye Fan should have no difficulty with the first and third assessments.
However, he would have difficulty passing the second test.
Ye Fan had originally broken the formation with the help of Lu Qingqing, one of the heroines, was actually cheating.
But now, Lu Qingqing has mysteriously disappeared.
So he was uncertain whether Ye Fan would pass the test as in the original plot.
"Ahem."
While Xu Ze thought this to himself, a faint coughing sound caught his attention.
He turned around and found Qu Qinghan standing next to him.
As Qu Qinghan walked to Xu Ze's side, she turned to see the situation on the mountain path.
"Seems that the examination has already started."
Qu Qinghan's temperament was still as indifferent and aloof as always.
It was as if her strange behavior of the previous few days was fake.
Xu Ze calmly nodded. Still, he didn't know why, but he felt uncomfortable standing next to her.
After thinking for a while, Xu Ze realized Qu Qinghan had gotten too close to him.
She seemed unaware of it, silently staring at the cultivators on the Holy mountain.
Her face was indifferent, as if she ignored his presence entirely.
Just when Xu Ze considered moving to the side, Qu Qinghan suddenly leaned towards him, and their shoulders bumped.
However, her gaze remained on the mountain, and she said, "In this group, there seems to be one who is particularly outstanding."
Xu Ze felt the soft touch on his shoulder, and his heart raced.
Subconsciously, Xu Ze looked down at the mountain bottom and was even more surprised.
In the group painstakingly running towards the top of the mountain, a dark green figure, like an elf leaping from a mountain, galloped to the top of the holy mountain.
The young girl wore green robes with twin ponytails on her head, looking pure and lovely.
It was Lu Qingqing!
Xu Ze's heart swelled with joy, and his eyes lit up.
Great!
Initially, he thought one of the ten heroines was missing.
Lu Qingqing arrived unexpectedly at a critical moment.
Now the plot's future was guaranteed!
Although Xu Ze tried his best to remain calm, Qu Qinghan noticed it.
Her eyebrows furrowed subtly, and her eyes turned dimmer.
Naturally, she still remembered Lu Qingqing.
After all, in the previous nine lifetimes, Lu Qingqing, like her, was also a woman abandoned by Xu Ze.
However, both were abandoned by Xu Ze, but Qu Qinghan didn't feel any sympathy for Lu Qingqing or any other women.
On the contrary, she was upset.
'Obviously, you had me, so why are you playing with other women?'
This kind of thought, coupled with the corrupted love for Xu Ze, led Qu Qinghan's mind to be extraordinarily prone to breakdown.
Seeing that Xu Ze's eyes couldn't hide the joy, Qu Qinghan's jealousy turned to killing intent.
'You sc*m... you think about other women even at this time...'
Hiss...
That killing intent caused Xu Ze, who was still happy, to jolt suddenly.
He subconsciously glanced at Qu Qinghan beside him.
But he found that Qu Qinghan wasn't looking at him. Her gaze was on the cultivators at the bottom of the mountain.
'Is it just my imagination?'
'However, I clearly felt the killing intent came from just behind me...'
Xu Ze rubbed his temples.
Maybe he was too tired from worrying about plot development lately, so he was mistaken, right?
Anyway, this was a big deal. When a cultivator's senses were confused, he would likely become insane.
Xu Ze felt he needed a psychiatrist to see.
Qu Qinghan looked down the mountain and said indifferently, "Holy Son, in your opinion, which of these cultivators ascending the mountain is more capable of joining the sect?"
Xu Ze immediately returned to his senses and calmly replied, "That girl in green robes, I see that although she sealed her Spiritual Qi, she is still walking effortlessly despite heavy pressure. This shows that she has an extraordinary physique and exceptional talent. She will be a most promising seedling for cultivation."
'Hmph, do you really prefer her that much?'
Qu Qinghan's eyes darkened, and she secretly noted it in her heart.
"There is also this young man who ranks first. Although he lacks physical strength, he might possess cultivation talent."
"The young girl in the second place is also good."
"There is also this young man in third place. Although he seems to be running slowly, he does not appear to be sweating profusely, which means he is hiding his strength. If I guess correctly, he should come out on top in the first round of assessment."
Xu Ze casually commented on a few smoke bombs but focused on Ye Fan, who came in third place.
After all, in the original plot, it was that Saintess Qu Qinghan had come to test these cultivators.
Moreover, it was she who discovered Ye Fan's extraordinary talent.
However, this plot changed slightly, and Holy Son Xu Ze had to supervise the examination.
This made Xu Ze worry that the plot would deviate greatly in the future, so he gave Qu Qinghan an introduction to the protagonist in advance.
However, after listening to Xu Ze's opinion for a few seconds, Qu Qinghan lost interest.
She casually nodded her head, uttering 'hmm' a few times.
Her mind was filled with thoughts about getting rid of this Lu Qingqing out of the Holy Heaven and Earth Continent.
After contemplating for a moment, Qu Qinghan made up her mind and looked at Xu Ze, "Holy Son, you've been busy setting up for the examination these days, so let me handle the remaining two rounds."
Xu Ze was stunned.
This, what was the situation?
The plot changed a little, but then unexpectedly corrected itself?
