The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

Chapter 113 Statue

Wan knew she could no longer suppress the urge to take out the jade bottle to verify it.

Mu Xianruo's mouth is full of lies.

Uncle Ma had been familiar with these three ever since they met.

If they weren't together, how could they have such great chemistry?

Seeing Wan's obvious suspicion, Mu Xianruo had no choice but to explain to avoid trouble: "We met before we infiltrated the competition."

Uncle Ma's disappearance at this critical juncture is clearly suspicious, and they must distance themselves from it.

In the past, independent cultivators could also participate in the Immortal Sect Competition. Not to mention individual competitions, they could also participate in team competitions as long as they could form a team.

If they perform exceptionally well, they might have the opportunity to join a sect.

However, the three of them had low cultivation levels and were afraid of being discovered by the branch family members. Originally, they just wanted to take advantage of the large number of people in the competition to do some small business with no capital.

Unexpectedly, the rules of this competition were changed at the last minute, disallowing independent cultivators from participating.

but--

"Uncle Ma took the initiative to chat with us, saying he could get us into the competition."

"So your previous vague statements were just to cover up how you actually managed to sneak into this competition?"

Mu Xianruo was not ashamed, "We just want to earn some spirit stones."

Wan's suspicions lessened slightly.

But then I thought, if this Uncle Ma is the mastermind behind the harm done to the sea tribe, or another puppet like Zhou Yu, then why is he suddenly exposed now?

Wouldn't it be better to wait until they rejoin the main force and then strike when everyone is off guard?

unless--

Wan suddenly turned around.

There's a secret hidden beneath that cave!

"You two stay here for now. If Uncle Ma comes back first, be careful."

As she spoke, Wan walked straight toward the large hole, leaped down, and her skirt fluttered.

"Brother, you're lying."

After realizing that Wanqing could no longer be seen, Mu Xianlian suddenly spoke up.

Mu Xianruo patted his younger sister's head, "Yes, brother lied. Lianlian, don't imitate him."

Let him bear all the consequences.

……

Luo Qingcheng continued to fall.

She silently counted in her mind, and in order to conserve her spiritual energy, she did not use it to block the onslaught of the gale.

The prolonged and rapid descent has left her feeling calm, though she initially experienced a strong sense of weightlessness.

She would be even more satisfied if the swift wind didn't whip her hair around like a madwoman.

"One thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight, one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, two thousand..."

Am I going to fall straight to the Earth's core?

Luo Qingcheng remained silent.

She no longer expected to land; at this speed, she would turn into a puddle of mud the moment she landed.

Fortunately, the person who dug the tunnel was very thoughtful.

When she counted to 2,897, Luo Qingcheng felt that the speed at which her dress, which had been fluttering in the wind, was slowing down.

When his hair fell back down his back, Luo Qingcheng knew he was almost at the bottom.

When she finally settled down and started working, she felt a little regretful.

This is much more thrilling than a drop tower; I really want to ride it again.

But the most urgent task is to find Mu Zi'en.

Luo Qingcheng looked around; she must have arrived at an underground building.

There were only two paths in front of her, one to the left and one forward, with walls made of blue bricks on the right and behind her.

She hesitated for a long time.

I chose the left side.

She suddenly understood what it meant to be: "At first it was extremely narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, but after walking several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious place."

A huge statue stands in the open ground.

The statue sits on a lotus pedestal, illuminated by candlelight. Its features are indistinct, with one lip pointing upwards and the other downwards, appearing both smiling and crying, which looks quite eerie.

A group of boys and girls stood on either side of the lotus platform. Their features were still not clearly visible, but this time it was obvious that the boys were smiling and the girls were glaring angrily.

Luo Qingcheng ignored it and tentatively called out, "Mu Zi'en!"

"Zi'en—En—"

The echoes reverberated throughout the entire underground palace.

To Luo Qingcheng's disappointment, he received no response whatsoever.

Could it be that Mu Zi'en has chosen a different path?

This place is so eerie, let's wait and explore it later. If Mu Zi'en loses his life while she's dawdling here, even though it's his own fault, Luo Qingcheng still feels a bit guilty.

She turned around, intending to walk back.

When she arrived, the passage had already vanished silently without her noticing.

She can't be blamed now.

Luo Qingcheng temporarily regarded the statue sitting on the lotus platform as a Buddha, put his hands together and bowed, "You saw it too, it's not that I deliberately didn't go to save him."

When Luo Qingcheng looked up again, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

That face, which had seemed to be both smiling and crying, had now completely transformed into a crying face, with two streaks, like tear stains, remaining on the two holes it had burrowed into.

Luo Qingcheng: (?Д?)

Is this a staged accident scam?

At the same time, Wanqing also successfully fell to the bottom of the hole.

Looking up, all she could see was a blue brick ceiling; there was no sign of the hole she had fallen through.

There were walls on three sides, and only a passage paved with blue bricks at the back.

She thought to herself, there's only one way, so Junior Sister Luo and Mu Zi'en must have gone to the back. If she just follows this passage, she'll definitely find them.

Without hesitation, he walked towards the back passage.

……

Luo Qingcheng circled the statue, trying to find some scientific or metaphysical explanation for the statue's tears, but to no avail.

She pondered for a long time before deciding to take action.

If she can't figure it out no matter how she looks at it, then it's reasonable for her to just take action, right?

Luo Qingcheng directly touched a lotus petal on the lotus platform.

The lotus petals shone brightly, so brightly that Luo Qingcheng's eyes were forced to close.

The lotus petals carved from stone have a plump, real flower-like texture to the touch.

A lotus fragrance lingered around my nose.

A voice that was neither male nor female asked her, "What is a demon?"

She knows this question!

Haiyu told her this when they were on the ship!

Luo Qingcheng smiled confidently, like a student who had just answered a question on a test, and replied with great joy: "The demon is the embodiment of all desires!"

"wrong!"

The rebuke was as loud as a bell and as powerful as thunder, penetrating Luo Qingcheng's ears and causing her to lose her hearing for a moment.

After a long while, Luo Qingcheng, who was stunned by the shock, finally came to his senses and said in a wronged tone, "I was wrong, so why did you shout so loudly?"

Besides, she cultivates immortality, so why ask her what demons are?

As if hearing her inner monologue, the next question came: "What is an immortal?"

Luo Qingcheng: ...

She didn't really want to answer because the teacher said this question wouldn't be on the test, and she hadn't learned it.

What is an immortal?

What is an immortal?

"What is an immortal?!"

……

The increasingly urgent sound made Luo Qingcheng wonder if the owner of the sound was going crazy.

She had to come up with an answer randomly, "An immortal is someone with great power... right?"

I'm really afraid that this voice will make me ask her later, "What is a person?"

There was a moment of silence.

No comment was made on her answer.

Luo Qingcheng was puzzled, so... she guessed right?

The voice appeared again, asking, "What are you?"

Luo Qingcheng: ...If she's not human, what is she? Is she indirectly asking what a human is?

Okay then. Although she was a poor student who didn't study hard because she was a rich kid, she knew during the exam that filling in "expressing homesickness" was more than 50% correct, no matter what the question asked. You can't judge reading comprehension by appearances.

Using his extensive knowledge of language and biology, Luo Qingcheng confidently declared, "I am Homo sapiens, belonging to the phylum Chordata, subphylum Chordata, class Mammalia, order Primates, family Hominidae, genus Homo!"
