Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

Lang Ye kept the doubts in his heart and followed Zhou Yiqiao into the room in the courtyard.

He waited until Zhou Yiqiao had checked the entire room, and only after the other party nodded did he express his doubts.

"Brother Zhou, you stopped me from talking to you in the Jingxin Hall today. Did you find out something?"

Lang Ye is not stupid. On the contrary, he has an understanding that ordinary monsters do not have.

The moment Zhou Yiqiao stopped him, he had a rough idea through various clues.

"good."

Zhou Yiqiao casually brewed himself a cup of spiritual tea, took a sip, and then nodded with a sense of relief.

"If my guess is correct, the son-in-law selection ceremony actually started the moment you stepped into the imperial palace."

When Lang Ye heard Zhou Yiqiao's words, even though he already had some guesses in his mind, he still showed a look of disbelief.

"Brother Zhou, what do you mean..."

Lang Ye's voice was trembling a little, and it was obvious that he was not calm inside.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly, pushed a cup of spiritual tea in front of Lang Ye, and comforted him softly.

"Don't worry, this is actually a good thing."

"The Flame Scale Demon Emperor's actions show that he cares not only about your cultivation, but also about your character, wisdom, and ability to deal with emergencies."

"I have already looked around, and no one should have discovered the Flame Scale Demon King's intentions before me. This is a great opportunity for you to show yourself."

After hearing this, the shock in Lang Ye's heart slowly subsided, replaced by gratitude and trust towards Zhou Yiqiao.

He knew that if Zhou Yiqiao hadn't been there, he would have been eliminated by some invisible rules, just like his fellow demons outside the courtyard who were still kept in the dark.

"Brother Zhou, what's the matter with the word 'calm' on the plaque and the sudden departure of the Flame Scale Demon King?"

Lang Ye took the spiritual tea, but kept it in his hand, and asked anxiously.

Zhou Yiqiao still had a smile on his face and began to explain.

"The word 'meditation' on that plaque is more than just words."

"It contains a kind of spiritual power that can test a person's reaction and character when facing pressure."

"Those who can remain calm and not be shaken by pressure will naturally leave a good impression in the Demon King's mind."

"Think about it, how could the Flame Scale Demon King not even know that we have arrived outside the palace, and have to ask the palace guards to pass on a message?"

Having said that, Zhou Yiqiao asked Lang Ye a rhetorical question and then continued.

"As for the departure of the Flame Scale Demon King, I think he did it to give us a space to communicate freely, and at the same time to secretly observe our words and actions."

"In this environment, everyone's true nature will be revealed to a greater or lesser extent. This is a good opportunity for the Flame Scale Demon King to understand our personalities and potential."

"As for what the Demon King wants to know, even I am not very clear, so I chose the dumbest way and simply kept silent to avoid exposing your shortcomings."

After hearing this, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Lang Ye's eyes, and then he stood up in surprise and looked around in panic.

"If that's the case, then there must be some kind of eavesdropping device in this room. Wouldn't our conversation have reached the Demon King's ears?"

Seeing Lang Ye so nervous, Zhou Yiqiao couldn't help but chuckle, then stood up, forced him back on the seat, and spoke to comfort him.

"Don't be so anxious. I checked every corner as soon as I entered the room."

"Let alone the eavesdropping technique, there is not even a trace of spiritual power in this room."

"How can this be?"

"Completely eliminating the spiritual energy in a space means completely eliminating the possibility of using magic here!"

"This thankless method is even more difficult than increasing the spiritual power of a space. How could the Demon King do such an unwise thing?"

Before Lang Ye’s doubts were resolved, another doubt arose in his mind.

Except for a few places without spiritual energy, even in the barren land like Yanzhou in the Tianchen Realm, there will inevitably be fluctuations in spiritual energy, not to mention the residence of the Flame Scale Demon Emperor, which should be rich in spiritual energy.

If what Zhou Yiqiao said was correct, then the only possibility was that the Flame Scale Demon King did it intentionally and created this residence that was completely immune to spiritual power detection.

"Nothing is Impossible."

Zhou Yiqiao is quite confident.

"After all, this is a son-in-law selection ceremony, not a deadpool training ceremony. It is impossible for the Flame Scale Demon King to keep everyone under strict surveillance and not give everyone a chance to wake up."

"I'm afraid the Demon King has made all the rooms into places that isolate spiritual energy, just to tell those who are interested that they can safely exchange information and even plan strategies in the rooms."

“In this way, we can screen out those young demons who are truly wise, courageous, and able to remain calm and strategic in the face of adversity.

"I see."

Lang Ye felt relieved and sat back in his seat with peace of mind.

"Thanks to Brother Zhou's help, otherwise I would have been put on the Demon King's list of potential sons-in-law without knowing it."

Lang Ye's eyes were filled with gratitude. He took a sip of the spiritual tea in his hand. As the tea fragrance wafted around, even his thoughts seemed to become clearer.

"According to Brother Zhou, the Demon King attaches so much importance to this son-in-law selection ceremony. It seems that he values ​​this princess, whose name is not even known yet, very much."

Zhou Yiqiao put down the teacup, a hint of deep thought flashing in his eyes.

he said softly.

"Indeed, she went through so much trouble not only to choose a powerful partner, but also to find a partner who can fight side by side with her and face the future storms together."

"Such a princess must be an extraordinary person."

A strange color flashed in Lang Ye's eyes, and in an instant he became extremely determined.

"In this case, for the sake of the Heavenly Demon Clan, I will work even harder in this son-in-law selection ceremony."

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao encouraged at the right time.

"Don't worry, since I have agreed to your request, I will do my best to help you win the favor of the princess."

Lang Ye stood up and bowed deeply to Zhou Yiqiao, his tone full of sincerity.

In these few short days, Lang Ye had no idea how many times he had expressed his respect to Zhou Yiqiao.

"In the days to come, I hope Brother Zhou can give me more guidance..."

......

As night fell, the lights in the Yanlin Palace were brightly lit. Under the guidance of the steward, representatives of various tribes came to an open-air banquet hall in the palace.

In the center of the venue, a huge flame sculpture stands. The flames jump as if dancing with life, reflecting the gorgeous flowers and exquisite arrangements around it.

Above the sculpture, there is a courtyard covered with gauze. In the middle of the courtyard, there seems to be a woman with a graceful figure and refined temperament sitting.
