They pursed their lips slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steps seemed endless, but in reality, an array barrier had been set up on the mountain path, making the already long road seemingly infinite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was likely to prevent anyone from accidentally wandering into the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Nathan White had been arranged to guide them, there was no reason he wouldn’t know about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only explanation was that this was an entrance exam for new students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, Luca seemed alright since he often worked out, but some guests and staff, including Donovan Jennings, were already showing signs of fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings thought for a moment and then took a talisman paper from her backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The camera stayed on Scarlett, and seeing her move, zoomed in to capture it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was seen heading to one of the steps with the talisman and pasted it on a step. Then she gathered a few stones from nearby and arranged them around the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sis, what are you doing?” Donovan Jennings noticed Scarlett’s actions and couldn’t help asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guests ahead also stopped and turned to see Scarlett squatting and playing with stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett kept her head down, placing the last stone, and explained in a calm voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Breaking the array.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was Donovan puzzled, but the staff and live broadcast viewers were also confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander Simpson was stunned, finally realizing what was happening, and quickly looked at Nathan White,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there a barrier on the path?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathan White smiled sheepishly and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then whispered, “But Scarlett just broke it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone present looked bewildered, and the audience in the chat was just as perplexed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What do you mean, broke the array? Where was the array? Where’s the spell? The seals? The process??]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Huh? She broke the array on site? I didn’t catch it properly, did anyone record it?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I saw clearly, our girl did it so casually, feels like I could do it too.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[High-level magic often needs only the simplest methods…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This Taoism Academy is amazing, to have a barrier!! Aren’t they afraid of someone intruding, treating us as outsiders!!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Don’t doubt it, the academy does treat you as outsiders; think about how they enroll less than thirty students a year.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Aaah, it’s my first time seeing an array, huh? It’s already broken? Where?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither the millions of eyes in the live chat nor the staff figured out what had changed around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Donovan who suddenly said, “The steps have become shorter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was still confused, Amber Livingston looked at the steps, seemingly unchanged, and asked, “Where are they shorter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donovan smiled habitually, “There were seven hundred ninety-one just now, now there are five hundred ninety-four.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone: ????\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What on earth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did you count, how come they didn’t know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The live chat audience were also shocked and bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[How did he get the exact number of steps instantly? I have to count each one painstakingly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Impossible, I don’t believe it! Let me count!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I just used a specialized counting app to scan, it’s indeed five hundred ninety-four steps!!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Woo hoo… is this the legendary genius?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sorry for the show-off, my hubby is just good at math.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Curious to know which window God shut for this family…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though there was some disbelief, as everyone continued climbing, they indeed began to see hints of the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excitement filled everyone at the renewed hope, and spirits lifted as they carried on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone climbed higher and higher, Sea City’s Taoism Academy, nowhere to be found even on satellite maps, finally unveiled itself on the live broadcast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the majestic and heavy stone gate stood ancient buildings built along the mountain, with a rustic, grand aura. Blue-tiled white walls and red columns intertwined like they had withstood the test of time yet stood as strong as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towards the peaks, more pavilions emerged, barely visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, a bell’s chime seemed to be heard, the ancient and solemn sound slowly echoing through the mountains, flowing through the woods to everyone’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the crew or the live audience, all were in awe of the mountainous scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was their first time seeing such a “university.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no ordinary school; it could easily be mistaken for a national heritage site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many local Sea City residents weren’t even aware of such a place existing nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Clark was especially excited, hastily instructing one of the accompanying cameramen to focus on capturing the academy’s architecture. He planned to compile a separate montage later!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the group moved forward, they saw a moderately-sized stone mountain, and beneath it rested an enormous dragon-headed stone turtle approximately two meters long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cameraman immediately circled the dragon-headed stone turtle, capturing every detail, while Evander Simpson explained,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Benedict Beast, the sixth son of the dragon in legend, also known as Baxiá, fond of carrying heavy loads.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel Zimmerman remarked, “I think I’ve seen something like this, but they usually carry stone tablets on their backs and aren’t this big.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the divine turtle carrying a tablet, many places use the divine turtle as a base for inscriptions, derived from Benedict’s image. In legend, Benedict carries the Three Mountains and Five Mountains.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amber Livingston listened to Evander’s explanation and thought she might need to brush up on this topic later to join in the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she thought, she glanced again at the unusual patterns on the giant turtle’s shell, instinctively reaching out to touch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before she could touch it, a stern voice stopped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop! Do not touch Benedict Stone Body!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amber’s hand jerked back, and everyone turned their heads instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw a young man in a robe similar to Nathan White’s striding over, his expression stern as he stared coldly at the group of guests,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you? Don’t you know that filming is prohibited at Taoism Academy?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the crew could respond, Nathan White hastily stepped forward, carefully calling,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Xander, these are the new students, including Scarlett Jennings and the guests of ‘Inspiration,’ the filming within the academy has been approved by the principal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Scarlett Jennings’ name, Senior Brother Xander’s expression twisted, and he turned, asking in a deep voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you Scarlett Jennings?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the unfriendly gaze, Scarlett calmly replied, “Do you know me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not even enrolled yet, you’re already leveraging your mystical techniques to show off on live broadcast, and now you’re bringing people to the academy for a show, utterly disgraceful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man spoke harshly, and before Scarlett could respond, the live chat exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Who is this guy? Why is he meddling so much?!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Who’s he calling a show-off?! Our girl was saving lives on a live broadcast while you were hidden somewhere!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The shoot was approved by your principal, if you have complaints, complain to Director Clark, why blame our girl?!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donovan, Luca, and Donovan Jennings all frowned, ready to argue with him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before they could act, Scarlett slowly asked in return,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you the academy representative?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Xander paused, “No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett glanced at him and then said seriously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then come tell me this nonsense when you become the academy representative.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1237,"2026-06-10T07:18:23.778Z",1,"novelbin.me","870bb7d626156aad7c60c07e3f9d2e991464f0744e8e822c94dc3704f51e0b59","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-232","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-230",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
