166 Why Do I Get a Bad Feeling About This?

The three girls faces became pale, especially Guan Ru Yi. Her hands were trembling, and she inadvertently bit her lower lips. She knew it herself that Kong Ling Jue was coming for her.

Fortunately, the Water Moon Owl's report was not clear enough. It was known that one of the girls give their food to someone else, but there was no clarification on who it is.

Kong Ling Jue could not just point out at one girl. If she turned out to be innocent, it would be embarrassing for him.

But, for this kind of thing, it was easy for Kong Ling Jue. He was the most respected Elder on Silver Hands Owl, to find out the real culprit among the three girls was an easy job.

One of the skills he possessed was emotion reading. A slight bit of facial movement was enough to discern if his target was telling the truth or lying. He knows if the target was happy but showing frown, sad but showing a smile, and even guilty but showing no expression.

"C'mon tell me... What did you girls hide?" Kong Ling Jue said.

",,,"

"No answer, huh..." he said as he glanced at Guan Ru Yi.

["Is it her? She's really trying so hard to hide her guilty expression..."]

Then Kong Ling Jue glanced at Guan Ru Na.

["Wait... She too... It was not as clear as the first girl, but she's hiding something as well..."]

Finally, he glanced at Chang Miao.

["This girl too... I noticed anger within her... She's really good at hiding her expression. If it's not for me she probably would have succeeded."]

Kong Ling Jue sighed, it turns out all three were hiding something. And, by the look of it, since they did not want to talk, it was not about giving food to someone else. It must be something quite significant.

However, it was only based on his instinct. So, Kong Ling Jue tried to test his hypothesis.

"Additional 30 points for giving away your personal food to someone else."

"!!!"

Kong Ling noticed that when he said that Guan Ru Yi showed a slightly disturbing expression. It was really her, but it was not the end of it. They were still hiding something.

There was something else... They were trying to conceal the guilt that the three of them knew about. But what it is?

"Additional 30 points for bringing outside intruders to help you with the test."

"!!!"

The girls were surprised that Kong Ling Jue knows the presence of the intruders. Certainly, Fei Bao Xing did call Feng Zhi Yan and Jun Yin Ying to help them. But, if 30 points it took for safety and to get rid of Guo Jin, it was worth it.

However, Kong Ling Jue did not like it. They did not deny it, the intruders were somehow were helping them. But, they were still showing guilt on their faces.

What if they intended to cause harm to Silver Hands Owl. Perhaps, they could be a spy. If he could not discern the real intention of these girls, might as well just get rid of them.

"Also, another 90 points for killing three people from Deng Huan's team!"

"!!!"

"That's outrageous! We did not kill them!" Guan Ru Yi said.

"Then, who killed them?"

"That... that..."

Two of them were killed by Jun Yin Ying, and Guo Jin was also taken by her. Kong Ling Jue was saying that since the girls let her in, they should also take care of her mess.

[That ugly b*tch!] Chang Miao cursed in her heart.

The other girls also could only bit their lip in frustration but did not dare to speak it out.

"Along with the requirement of 30 points to pass the test, the total comes to 180 points. Do you accept?" Kong Ling Jue asked coldly.

Chang Miao bit her lip in anger, she gracefully bowed, "Yes... We accept!"

As the other girls also bowed, Kong Ling Jue thought the points requirement would serve as enough excuse to kill them before he slowly turned around and left.

"What do we do? How many points do we have?" Chang Miao asked.

"94 points. Even with that, we're still missing 86. How are we going to earn that many points in such a short amount of time." Guan Ru Yi said.

"...Let's go back to Fei Bo Xing." Guan Ru Na said.

"Fei Bao Xing..."

"Chang Miao, you're not fond of him... But, we can't deny his ability and perception to earn points. Although I doubt he can earn that much, he's the only chance we got."

Chang Miao frowned. She regretted leaving Fei Bao Xing behind and has to go back to him.

"All right, we're here at the gate!"

Jun Yin Ying sounded really cheerful like a kid going on a picnic.

Meanwhile, Guo Jin was still looking very blank, like life was devoid form his own eyes. The recent training has terrified him that it was still etched in his head. Trembling and shooking his entire body, he pleaded, "Help!!"

On the other hand, Feng Zhi Yan was angry. All this time, the bastard Feng Ao Xiu has been lying about his cultivation level. Before he even got a chance to expose him, he was dragged here to complete his training. Thinking about how Feng Ao Xiu would still be revered as a supreme expert while he was tortured in the Upper Realm for years to come, makes him wants to vomit.

Meanwhile, the last disciple was wearing a happy smile on his face. However, the only reason he still showed that emotion was because he has not tasted what it's like to train under Jun Yin Ying yet.

In fact, this disciple was also recruited recently. When Jun Yin Ying went to wash her hands in the river to wash off the skunk's smell, she met him.

"Eh... you're Feng Ao Xiu's master?"

"That's right!"

After that declaration, the conversation went fast, and he became her disciple. After that, Jun Yin Ying told him to wait by the river, before finally, she came to pick him up.

He was surprised to know that Feng Zhi Yan, one of the best young masters in his generation was under the same tutelage as him. He did not know who's Guo Jin, but he also seems capable.

Jun Yin Ying carefully explained, "Now, all three of you have to enter this gate. Since I came from the Upper Realm, I will automatically go to the Upper Realm. Fortunately, the three of you can face the tribulations together."

Guo Jin and Feng Zhi Yan were too busy with their own thinking that they did not care much, but the last disciples were quite eager, he asked, "What kind of tribulations are we doing in there?"

"Ummm... According to your senior, Feng Ao Xiu, you will have to defeat four Spirit Beast. They seemed to be Ninth Rank Spirit Beasts."

"What? Ninth Rank! At our level, we can't even defeat one, how are we able to defeat four of them?"

None of them has even reached the Iron Mortal Realm. Asking them to defeat Ninth Rank Spirit Beast was ridiculous.

Jun Yin Ying smiled and handed each disciple, a small bottle containing white liquid.

"This is Pure Qi. Before you fight, find a safe place to drink this and cultivate!"

"Ehhh... Is this not what I've been looking for? I'm sure of it! This is the rumoured liquid that Feng Ao Xiu used..."

"Look at the time!" Jun Yin Ying was in a panic since the gate almost closed. She quickly grabbed all three of her disciples and threw them to the gate.

"Disciple Feng Zhi Yan, Disciple Guo Jin, and Disciple Hua Ling, I wish you all good luck! I'll be waiting in the Upper Realm!"

***

Another Water Moon Owl comes and reported to Kong Ling Jue.

"Hooot... Hoot..."

"My disciple He Min, really? He'll be gone for a few years... Doing what? Spying? Oh... So he's spying someone close to Feng Ao Xiu under the name of Hua Ling."

"Hoot... Hoot..."

"Huh? I look worried? No... I am happy. He Min is my best disciple, I know it will be a success. But... Why do I get a bad feeling about this?"
