Murong Qing nodded. "Yes, these few people have successfully found the mountain gate and passed through the Alligator Pond unharmed. It seems like they have already passed the elder's selection."

Filtering? Chu Yunge's brain operated at a high speed.

Could it be that what he had experienced were the conditions to filter out the Murong Dynasty? She couldn't help but think back to the anti-eight trigrams formation in front of the mountain, the crocodile pond, and the illusion of a hot spring. If they were careless, they would either be trapped at the entrance or die in the crocodile pond. What was the purpose of such a screening?

The Elders' gazes swept across the crowd a few times before finally nodding lightly, "It's getting late. Since you have passed the first selection, please go to the welcoming hall to rest. Tomorrow, you will come to the main hall to participate in the second selection."

After speaking, the Elders withdrew into the palace, and the door closed behind them.

Feng Yi and Chu Yunge did not even have the time to introduce themselves, which made Feng Yi feel a little dissatisfied. Since he said that they were esteemed guests, they should have welcomed him well. Why would they arrange for him to rest without even asking him? This was not the way of hospitality!

Murong Qing saw Feng Yi's discontent and did not point it out. She waved her hand and said, "Guests, please follow me to the welcoming hall to rest. I still have some things to ask you."

Feng Yi remained silent, then continued: "I'll be troubling you, Princess, about that, I just don't know if I can prepare dinner for you guys?"

Feng Yi sweated profusely. Xiao Ge was really a competent foodie, he would never forget to eat it.

Murong Qing smiled. "Of course. It's just that these elders haven't had any contact with outsiders for many years and are not familiar with the affairs of the world. I hope you won't take offense to the things that are neglected."

Hearing that there was food, Chu Yunge immediately smiled, "No offense, as long as there is food."

After they arrived at the reception hall, Murong Qing instructed the servant girls to prepare some food while he sat down at the head seat, inviting them to have some tea.

"I heard that the princess has a question that she wants to ask. Why don't we take advantage of this?" There's no time to ask when the meal's ready. " Chu Yunge brought out the true colors of the foodie to the fullest.

Murong Qing nodded and said seriously, "I'm guessing you didn't stumble your way here, right?"

After seeing the crowd nod their heads, he continued, "Our Mu Rong family has been living in seclusion here ever since the country broke down, and we have been getting fewer and fewer people. "However, I dare not to forget the teachings of my ancestors. That is, to guard the treasure, to leave it as a gift is fated."

Hearing this, Chu Yunge's heart skipped a beat. After saying so much, she finally got to the point!

"The treasures that we guard here are enough to divide the powers on the continent, but not everyone can get the treasures. The fact that you can come here means that you are fated to get them, but whether or not you can get them will depend on your character."

Character? What is so special about this character? Since it is a treasure trove, we should take it out to share with everyone. After all, you all are not stupid enough to sit here and watch a pile of gold, silver, and treasure turn mouldy.

Chu Yunge silently cursed in here, but she listened to every word Murong Qing said.

"Actually, ever since you entered the school, your actions have entered our line of sight, and at the same time, the character and conduct that you have been given has begun to be assessed."

Chu Yunge was shocked, what the f * ck? If it was really the test of character, then wouldn't she get zero points just by poisoning and running the train with her mouth full of poison?

"Then — who is the head examiner? Is it you or those elders? " Chu Yunge could no longer sit still and asked softly.

Murong Qing smiled lightly and said, "Of course it's me and the elders. Although the elders have the right to speak, I am still the one in charge here. The Elders Guild is only supporting me."

Chu Yunge rolled her eyes, reached out and pinched Feng Yi's waist.

Feng Yi was deep in thought about something, the pain in his waist pulled him back to reality. He looked at Chu Yunge with suspicion, not knowing what she was going to do.

"Why didn't you speak after you came in? Don't you usually talk a lot? Quickly tell the princess the purpose of our visit. " Chu Yunge thought of a beautiful man's scheme, wanting the handsome Feng Yi to win the princess's favor and gain some impression.

"Oh, princess, we —"

Before Feng Yi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Murong Qing with a raise of his hand. He then asked, "According to what I know, you should be representing the three forces, right?"

He has already agreed to marry me, so naturally, he will be considered my forces. Now that these two fellows are my followers, they will naturally be considered my forces as well. Chu Yunge quickly replied.

Ling Yuan's face sank, and said in a muffled voice: "Imperial Protector Princess's words are wrong, the cooperation we had outside was to find the treasure, and now that we have found the treasure, our cooperation will naturally end." He cupped his fists towards Murong Qing, "I want to make a declaration to the princess that Hei Yan and I represent Worryfree Hall."

Indeed, it was the ambition of a wolf! Chu Yunge did not think that Ling Yuan would go overboard even before seeing the treasure deposit, and immediately sneered.

Murong Qing nodded, "Actually, even without you saying anything, I will still follow the rules." Even though Crown Prince Feng Lai Kingdom and Imperial Protector Princess have an engagement, after all, it's not a marriage. So, you must participate in the examination as two forces, or else you two will forfeit. "

This was simply a naked term for overlord!

But in the end, the treasure was already in their hands. Whatever they say, they would do it. There was no room for opposition at all.

"That... Your Highness, can you tell us a bit about the content of the examination? At least let us prepare for it." Chu Yunge rubbed her hands together as she asked with a smile.

He didn't think that Murong Qing would give him no face at all. He shook his head and said with a smile: "As for the content of the exam, the elders are currently discussing and I don't know."

At this moment, the female servants, who were holding fine dishes, began to line up and enter the main hall.

Chu Yunge immediately tossed the displeasure from before to the back of her head and stared unwaveringly at the delicacies.

Dishes of food were arranged on the table in front of him in single file.

Waa! There's finally something to eat! "Having worked so hard for the entire day, she no longer had to live and cook in the wild.

The dishes had just been served, and before Murong Qing could say anything, Chu Yunge had already picked up the chopsticks, her eyes shining as she looked at the steaming hot delicious food on the round table, and continued: "As expected of the Great Empire's style, just these dishes already surpass the Feng Lai Kingdom by several times!"

While Chu Yunge was impatiently eating, she did not forget to tease Feng Yi along the way.

The muscles on Feng Yi's face twitched a few times, but he was speechless at Chu Yunge's impatient look.

He felt helpless. His wife would become the empress of a country in the future. She would be virtuous and virtuous in the future and act like a mother to the world. Every time he saw something to eat, he would not have anything to eat.

Feng Yi's pampered gaze held a tinge of worry, and he couldn't help but think in his heart that once he finished settling the Murong Dynasty matter and returned to the Feng Lai Kingdom, he would definitely find an Archmage to properly teach her some etiquette.

After a while, Chu Yunge leaned her body and propped up one leg, then sat down with one hand and a toothpick in the other, picking her teeth in satisfaction.

Ling Yuan was sitting up front with his hands on his knees. He showed off his noble demeanor, making a clear contrast with Chu Yunge who looked like a rogue who sat in a well.

"Hey, Xiao Ge, pay attention to your lady image. You are a guest!" Feng Yi's lips moved, and transmitted his voice to Chu Yunge.

Brother Chu Yunge glared at him, and continued doing what she was doing.

Murong Qing only stopped eating after eating a few more things, and observed the few of them. Seeing Chu Yunge's current state, he couldn't help but smile and say: "Imperial Protector Princess really has a true nature."

Chu Yunge then had no choice but to sit up straight and cupped her fists: "Princess, please don't laugh. Actually, I am just a person who feels comfortable enough to care about how I come from, so I don't care too much about it."

Murong Qing nodded, "There will be a servant girl to take you to the sleeping quarters for a rest later. I will take my leave first." I hope that everyone can rest well in order to prepare for tomorrow's assessment. "

With that, he walked down the steps and gave a slight nod to the others, before walking out of the hall.

Chu Yunge quickly followed behind her and asked softly: "Does Princess know Murong Xue'er?"

Murong Qing's body trembled as she replied, "Those who have been expelled from the sect, let's not mention it!" With that, he left without even turning his head back.

It seemed like she knew about mother, but for some reason, it seemed like it was forbidden for her to bring up mother's name.

Murong Qing returned to his room and sat down on the embroidered block. A servant girl in her forties walked over and said, "This girl must be the daughter of an aunt. This old servant can't be wrong. Her face looks like it was carved from the same mold as my aunt."

Murong Qing frowned and sighed, "Nanny, so what? Father still could not forgive Aunt. Even before death, he refused to record Aunt's name into the family tree. Seeing his family right in front of him, he could not recognize them … "

As he spoke, he began to choke.

"Princess, don't be too sad. Right now, you are the head of the clan. You have the right to record your aunt's name into your family tree!" "Sigh — — I alone supported this entire family to protect the treasure, and the goal was that one day someone of both ability and talent would take it away, and use it to unite the continent, to end the current chaotic situation in the three nations. But I really don't want my cousin to have this treasure, which means that she will face endless slaughter.

Murong Qing's heart was full of contradictions. On one hand, he hoped that his cousin could pass the exam. On the other hand, he hoped that she would lose. That way, at least he wouldn't need to bear the burden of the heavens.

The wet nurse sighed, put her hands on Murong Qing's shoulders, and softly comforted him: "If she can pass the exam, it can only be said that it's the will of the heavens. That way, you don't have to continue guarding this useless treasure, wasting your youth. The outside world is very colorful. This old servant really hopes that you can walk out and live a happy life. "
