~11 min read 2,053 words

Hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo's eyes lit up immediately.

Thinking about it, it seemed that was indeed the case; tomorrow the Junior Brother would be guarding the pavilion, wouldn't she be able to play all day?

As for the fourteenth floor.

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo didn't believe at all that anyone could answer the Junior Brother's questions.

The situation where she had been tortured for a whole night was still vivid in her mind.

Thinking of this.

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo stopped making a fuss and sat beside Jiang Chen with a smile.

Although she couldn't play, watching the Junior Brother and the others play seemed quite interesting too.

However.

As she watched, she couldn't help herself again, looking like she wanted to jump in and play.

"Junior Brother, let me play!"

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo hugged Jiang Chen's arm and kept shaking it.

"Have you learned it?"

Jiang Chen looked at Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo suspiciously.

"Mm-hmm!"

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo nodded without hesitation.

Seeing this.

Jiang Chen didn't think much more and gave up his seat to her.

He had brought out the playing cards mainly because he was afraid Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo would be bored and want to drag him out of the city to play again in a few days.

"As expected, the Junior Brother is still the best to me!"

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo sat in Jiang Chen's seat, rolled up her sleeves to reveal her slender, jade-white arms, and prepared to go all out.

Soon.

The three of them began to draw cards.

"Hahaha, I'm the Landlord!"

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo didn't even think and picked up the bottom cards, as if afraid someone else would snatch them.

Jiang Chen was speechless.

You dare to call the Landlord with just a two?

"A three!"

After organizing her cards, Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo pulled out a three and threw it on the table.

"A four."

"A two."

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo was stunned and looked at Tiannü Rui: "Sister Rui, why did you play such a big card right at the start!"

Tiannü Rui smiled lightly: "Brother Sikong Qianluo, do you want it? If not, I'm going to play my cards."

"Fine, go ahead."

After looking at her cards, Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo shook her head.

"A pair!"

"I want that!"

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo shouted immediately.

However, as soon as her cards were thrown down, she saw Tiannü Rui throw out a few more cards: "Just a little bigger than yours."

After saying this, she shook the cards in her hand.

Only two left.

"So fast?"

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo was stunned and couldn't believe it: "Sister Rui, did you hide the cards?"

Tiannü Rui: "???"

"Senior Sister, why don't you count the cards."

Jiang Chen was somewhat helpless, and then somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Tiannü Rui's cards to be so well-organized.

Hearing the Junior Brother's words.

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo actually started counting; after she finished, she turned to look at Jiang Chen: "Junior Brother, how many cards were there in total?"

"Fifty-four..."

"Oh."

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo started counting on her fingers.

A moment later.

She looked at Tiannü Rui with frustration: "Senior Sister, keep playing, I don't believe you can get rid of them all at once!"

As soon as she finished speaking.

Ye Ye Ruoyi spoke up: "Wait, I have a bomb."

As she spoke, she threw out four Aces.

Tiannü Rui looked at Ye Ye Ruoyi: "Sister Ye Ruoyi, why are you trumping my cards."

"Sister Ye, you can't take back a card once it's played!" Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo laughed and quickly signaled for Ye Ye Ruoyi to continue playing.

Ye Ye Ruoyi smiled: "I'll play a three too."

"A five!"

Tiannü Rui hurriedly threw out a card.

"A two!"

"Two Jokers!"

Ye Ye Ruoyi immediately threw down two more cards.

"Ah? Sister Ye, how do you still have a bomb."

"A three."

"A seven!"

After throwing the cards in her hand, Tiannü Rui stretched out her jade-white, slender hands and shook them in front of Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo again.

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo wilted immediately.

Jiang Chen asked with a smile from the side: "How about... you learn a bit more, Senior Sister?"

"No!"

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo shook her head immediately: "Hmph, I won't be the Landlord next time, I'm going to have two people gang up on one too!"

Watching Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo, who was so bad at it but still wanted to play.

Jiang Chen shook his head and let her be.

In the blink of an eye, it was late at night, and seeing that the three women had no intention of ending, Jiang Chen simply got up and went back alone.

He had to go to the Ascending Heaven Pavilion tomorrow.

The next day.

Jiang Chen arrived at the Ascending Heaven Pavilion.

The Snow Moon City disciple temporarily guarding the pavilion clearly didn't expect this Junior Brother to appear; after a slight daze, he looked at Jiang Chen with adoration.

In the past few days.

It could be said that every day, a dozen martial artists would break through to the ninth floor, some of whom were even experts above the Diamond Mortal Realm.

However.

Without exception.

Not one of these people could answer the correct answer.

It could be said.

This was his most relaxing moment in Snow Moon City.

Sitting here every day, not having to do anything, just shaking his head; it could be said that apart from being a bit boring, it couldn't be more comfortable.

After reporting the situation of the past few days to Jiang Chen, the disciple retreated with a look of reluctance.

However, before retreating.

Jiang Chen had him announce the answers to the questions from the past few days while he was at it.

After all, calculating the time.

It was time to announce the answers.

On the other side.

In a tea shop in Fancheng.

Especially Yao Yao Yue and Lianxing were drinking tea while looking at the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion not far away, frowning from time to time.

"I should have come over with that Young Master from Snow Moon City."

Lianxing looked at the ninth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion with some helplessness, her beautiful face filled with worry: "I wonder when the guardian of the ninth floor will return."

Hearing Lianxing's words.

Especially Yao Yao Yue was also silent for a moment.

When they arrived in Snow Moon City the day before yesterday.

The two had quickly inquired about the method to enter the inner city of Snow Moon City.

And when they learned that one could enter the inner city by possessing a Snow Moon City invitation or by clearing the fifteen floors of the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion, both breathed a sigh of relief.

In the eyes of Especially Yao Yao Yue and Lianxing.

Unless the three City Masters of Snow Moon City were guarding the pavilion themselves.

Otherwise.

No one could stop them.

What's more.

When inquiring for information, they had already heard that only the fifteenth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion was guarded by an elder of Snow Moon City, while the other floors were all guarded by Snow Moon City disciples.

Thus.

Especially Yao Yao Yue didn't even think about it and directly started clearing the pavilion.

Clearing the first few floors was indeed very simple; she didn't even need to make a move, just releasing a bit of her aura was enough for the guards to let her pass immediately.

However, as soon as she reached the ninth floor, Especially Yao Yao Yue was stunned.

The rule for this level was not a martial arts duel, but answering questions!

At first, she didn't pay it any mind.

Since this ninth floor required answering questions, then she would answer them.

In Especially Yao Yao Yue's view.

As the number one city in the world, the questions asked by Snow Moon City should be about martial arts techniques.

Although she was not very familiar with the martial arts manuals of Beili.

But if one principle is mastered, all are mastered; she didn't believe she would be stumped by a mere question, and besides, this was only the ninth floor, how hard could the questions be?

However!

When she actually heard the content of the question, Especially Yao Yao Yue even suspected she had misheard.

"There is a single-plank bridge; at one end of the bridge, a tiger wants to cross, and at the other end, a wolf wants to cross. In the middle of the bridge, a sheep is crossing."

"May I ask, how did the sheep get across?"

"Does the sheep know light-body techniques?"

This was the answer she gave at the time.

Although she also felt it was absurd for a sheep to fly, she really couldn't think of any other possibility.

The result was obvious.

Although her strength was great, she was still invited down from the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion...

As soon as she came down.

She was dragged by Lianxing to the notice board under the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion, where the notice previously posted by the Snow Moon City disciple was still there.

At a single glance.

Especially Yao Yao Yue was stunned on the spot.

"To turn a dream into reality, what is the first step? Answer: Wake up!"

"..."

Looking at the answers to one question after another.

This Great Palace Master of the Flower-Moving Palace stood blankly in front of the notice board for a long time, finally discovering that she couldn't refute these answers at all.

Her worldview was shattered!

Was this a question a normal person could think of?

"Sister, are we just going to wait here like this?"

Seeing that as long as they entered the inner city of Snow Moon City, they could find that divine doctor to treat her illness.

Now they were stumped by a question.

Lianxing couldn't describe how uncomfortable and aggrieved she felt.

The key was.

There were three sword immortal-level powerhouses guarding this place; even if they tried to force their way in, they might not succeed.

And.

The two didn't dare to force their way in.

If they angered that divine doctor because of this, wouldn't they lose all chance?!

"Let's think about the answers to those questions again."

Especially Yao Yao Yue's moth-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, and after thinking for a long time, she finally squeezed out this sentence.

At this moment.

She also regretted not agreeing to the proposal of that Young Master to travel together.

If she had agreed at the time.

Perhaps he could have given her the answers?

Besides, even if he didn't know the answers, with his status, getting an invitation to Snow Moon City for her and her sister shouldn't be a problem, right?

Just as Especially Yao Yao Yue and Lianxing were drinking tea in frustration.

A commotion suddenly came from below the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion.

Vaguely.

The two seemed to hear someone shouting something about the answers finally being announced.

Swish!

Swish!

The figures of Especially Yao Yao Yue and Lianxing disappeared from the tea shop almost simultaneously, and when they appeared again, they were already standing in front of the notice board.

Seeing more and more people crowding around.

The two couldn't help but frown, then both began to circulate their internal energy.

The next second.

Everyone who approached within half a zhang of them was instantly repelled.

Someone wanted to get angry.

However, upon feeling the terrifying aura on the two, they immediately shut their mouths obediently.

"Everyone, the junior brother from the ninth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion has returned, so starting from today, the previous rules will be restored."

"Wuwuwu~ finally back!"

"If he hadn't come back, I would have been tortured to death by these brain teasers."

"Senior brother, since your junior brother is back, hurry up and announce the answers to these questions!"

"That's right, hurry up and announce them!"

"God knows how I've spent these past few days; damn it, next time, unless it's the last day, I'm never coming to ask about these questions again!"

"Had enough..."
