54: Chapter 54 Grandpa Yu's Wife Flying
The Taixu Sect Disciple recording the list looked up in pleasant surprise and smiled, congratulating her: "Congratulations, Junior Sister!"
With High Grade Spiritual Root Aptitude, she could choose any Elder to study under; she could be considered a True Disciple by default.
"Ah?" Luo Qingxue was stunned by this sudden surprise and instinctively looked at Su Mo.
Su Mo immediately felt that Luo Qingxue's previous nervousness was purely a humblebrag, though only for a fleeting moment.
Previously, when Luo Qingxue was practicing the Tai Xu Qi Guiding Art, Su Mo had asked her how her speed of Cultivation was.
Luo Qingxue only said she could see specks of Spiritual Qi and could absorb blue specks; Su Mo hadn't thought much of it at the time.
"Let's go, let's head to the next item." Su Mo patted Luo Qingxue's shoulder to snap her out of it.
Wang Gui leaned in and smiled: "Brother Su, your sister is truly lucky. Congratulations, congratulations!"
"She is not my sister."
"Then she is..."
"I suppose we're friends."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingxue was immediately displeased. After finding out that Su Mo was truly only ten years old, she had become a bit bolder.
"Little Brother Su Mo~ You didn't say that when you slept in the same bed as me before~"
Su Mo shuddered all over, goosebumps rising on his skin.
It's hard! My fist is hard!
"What did I say?! Who was crying and covered in dirt when I saved her?"
"As the saying goes, a life for a life; your life is mine. Even if I did anything, it would be perfectly justified!" Su Mo immediately retorted.
But in Luo Qingxue's eyes, this was just like a cute little loli baring her fangs and brandishing her claws; she was so cute one couldn't help but want to tease her.
"You're so overbearing~ I like it so much~"
It was like punching cotton. Su Mo simply stopped paying attention to her.
Wang Gui tacitly stopped speaking, only revealing a meaningful smile.
Soon, the three of them walked to the Heart-Questioning Platform. There were already quite a few people on it, and not a few had reached the summit.
The three stepped onto the stairs one after another.
As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, Su Mo felt his vision blur, and he instantly appeared on a large red bed. The pink lighting filled the entire room with an indescribable atmosphere.
On the head of the bed were candles, a whip, and many small toys that could only be understood but not described.
Just as he was stunned, a group of scantily clad women walked in through the door.
Seeing the faces of these women, Su Mo's eyes widened immediately.
"Are we playing this big on the first level?!"
Yua Mikami, Ayaka Kawakita, Yui Aragaki, Yuu Shinoda...
Numerous teachers who had provided him with his enlightenment education appeared before him, and Su Mo even saw Luo Qingxue's face.
What the hell... What man could withstand this kind of temptation!
"Change the batch."
As soon as the words fell, the entire scene shattered and dissipated like a dream bubble.
Su Mo's eyes instantly regained clarity, and he found that he was still standing on the first step of the Heart-Questioning Platform.
Beside him, Luo Qingxue and Wang Gui both had their eyes closed, clearly also trapped in an illusion.
"Just this?"
Su Mo stepped onto the second step again. This time, mountains of gold and silver treasures appeared, which for Su Mo were less attractive than the illusion on the first level.
"It's not hard."
Su Mo did not stop, and in less than an hour, he reached the summit.
The illusions of this Heart-Questioning Platform were mostly about the seven emotions and six desires of the human heart; for Su Mo, who had received nine years of compulsory education and had very upright values, it was not a problem at all.
However, there was still one question that made him hesitate for a long time.
An old granny walking shakily fell down in front of him. She reached out her hand to Su Mo, her voice weak.
Just as he was struggling with whether to help her up or not, a crowd gathered around, making sarcastic remarks while filming with their phones.
"Look, another one about to be scammed." "Who dares to help an old person who falls down now? Do you have too much money?" "Brother, is your bank card password ready?" "Hahahaha..."
The jarring words stabbed into Su Mo's heart like knives.
"Enough!" Su Mo suddenly let out a roar, "So what if I get scammed? I'm going to help her today!"
He strode forward, squatted down, and smiled wickedly. He grabbed the old granny's raised hands and lifted her entire body up.
He swung her around like a long staff, sweeping across the crowd.
"Eat my 'Old Granny Health Treatment'!"
Everyone around was injured upon contact and died upon touch; they dared not get close at all.
Before Su Mo could have his fill of fun, the illusion shattered.
Su Mo clenched his hands, recalling the feel of the old granny, feeling a bit unsatisfied.
The feel of that weapon was truly comfortable; he thought about learning Artifact Refining in the future to make one for himself.
After thinking for a while, Su Mo suddenly shook his head. Others fly by riding a sword; what would it be if he flew by riding a grandma?!
After another hour, Luo Qingxue and Wang Gui came up one after another.
"How was it? What kind of illusion did you encounter?" Su Mo asked Luo Qingxue curiously.
But he only saw her lower her head, dodging and weaving, her face crimson, not daring to meet Su Mo's eyes. "N-nothing..."
Something was wrong, very wrong. Seeing her like this, Su Mo did not pursue the question; little girls of this age were all like this, having some worries was normal.
"Brother Su, the time for announcing the recruitment of Disciples is in five days. I am now preparing to go try other Sects; will you go?"
Su Mo looked up at the time. It was still early, and many people who had finished testing at one Sect had also switched to another Sect's queue to start lining up.
"That's fine." Luo Qingxue was uncharacteristically silent, following Su Mo timidly. Whenever Su Mo looked over, she would quickly turn her head away, just like a dog that had done something bad.
"Then let's go try the queue for the Yuxiao Palace first..."
Before the words fell, a large crowd suddenly gathered next to the Heart-Questioning Platform, creating a stir. That was exactly the location of the third item, the Luck test, the Jade Bridge.
"Brother Su, why don't we go see what happened over there first? Sect recruitment happens every day, but the excitement is only for this moment!" Wang Gui's face showed an excited expression, and without waiting for Su Mo's answer, he had already slowly squeezed into the crowd over there.
Su Mo was helpless and pulled Luo Qingxue along to follow. Watching the excitement was human nature, and he was also curious if anyone could pass this one-in-a-billion probability Luck test.
"Who is that guy?" "I know him; he is the Young Lord of the Long family in Qingshan City, Long Aotian. However, his Aptitude is too trashy; he is already the former Young Lord."
"So it's him. I remember he has a Low Grade Three Spiritual Root, only above the Low Grade Five and Four Spiritual Roots. How does he dare to challenge this Luck Jade Bridge?"
"He's probably not thinking straight and is preparing to die a quick death." ... The surrounding crowd whispered, with ridicule and disdain, but no admiration.
"Long Aotian?! This name..." Su Mo narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on the young man standing in front of the Jade Bridge.
The man was dressed in black sportswear. Although his Spiritual Root quality was nothing to speak of, he had an arrogant expression, as if he didn't put anyone in his eyes.
