The Secret of the Goddess

Chapter 25 Personal Test

Walking out of the master's study, Xue Yi felt a mixture of emotions.

"His grandma's..."

"What's going on with Xiao Qingruo?"

"What's the situation with the Palace Master?"

"What happened to me!"

He was depressed.

It would have been better if he hadn't met Xiao Qingruo. Even if he was just an ordinary guard, with the Imperial Five Spirits Secret, he would have risen sooner or later.

Now sandwiched between the eldest lady and the master of the palace, he felt like he was walking on thin ice. If he was not careful, he would end up in a doomed situation.

Now there was a question before him.

——After you go back, do you want to tell the truth to Xiao Qingruo?

If she had said that, if she really had the strength to compete with the Palace Master, then he, Xue, would not be able to stay, and death would be the inevitable result.

If he didn't say anything, it would be quite safe for the time being, but if the master of the palace asked him to test Xiao Qingruo, he would have to take action sooner or later.

Over time, there is still a risk of exposure, and the crisis is also huge.

There are disadvantages and advantages to saying or not saying.

The advantage of speaking out is that there is no secret about the position between him and Xiao Qingruo. As long as she is useless, the two of them are still in the same boat and can deepen their cooperation. Even the palace master's temptation can be fooled together. In the future, when Xue Yi's strength increases, he can protect her and continue to pretend. There will be no shortage of glory, wealth, strength, and so on. Maybe he will have a chance to hold a beauty.

The advantage of not mentioning it is that the safety is relatively high. He has room to advance and retreat. If it is not possible, he can escape and run away, away from Xiao Qingruo and Shengwei Mansion.

This is a difficult question to decide.

The key lies in Xiao Qingruo's strength.

"When we go back, let's try her again."

Rather than running away, he actually preferred to stay in Shengwei Mansion for a while.

After all, he is not very strong now, and he can easily die suddenly if he hangs out outside. Shengwei Mansion has a lot of medicinal materials, and the work is free, so you can have a lot of time to practice, and it is more comfortable to stay up and develop.

But how to try it?

Thinking about the worst possibility in everything, if Xiao Qingruo is really strong, it will be quite difficult to test her details while ensuring that he will not be beaten to death by her.

"I was so frivolous towards her last night and she didn't even resist. She must not be a strong person. Otherwise...she likes to be bullied and tolerates me on purpose." Xue Yi thought to himself.

If that's the case, then... let's try this again!

Soon, Xue Yi returned to Lanyuan.

He went directly to Xiao Qingruo's house, knocked on the door, and then entered.

"You've been here for so long, what did the palace master want to do with you?" Xiao Qingruo was still reading, a little surprised that he would knock on the door, and looked up at him.

Xue Yi thought for a while.

First, he thought about the possibility of the Palace Master following him here.

However, this doubt was quickly dispelled.

The realm of the Palace Master is not much higher than the realm that Xiao Qingruo pretends to be. From a common sense point of view, if the Palace Master is hiding and eavesdropping from a distance, Xiao Qingruo can detect it.

So in order to avoid embarrassment, the palace master would not do this.

In other words, in Xiao Qingruo's Lan Garden, you can basically say anything without the possibility of being eavesdropped by anyone.

Xue Yi replied: "I said some words, asked me about my origins, and tested my loyalty."

"Oh? Are you loyal?" Xiao Qingruo asked with interest.

"Loyalty."

Xue Yi put down the knife, not caring about how good the knife was. He closed the door and walked over, arriving less than half a meter away from Xiao Qingruo.

"Why are you so close?" Xiao Qingruo's expression changed slightly, feeling something was wrong, and she was a little repelled by his actions, so she immediately stood up and changed seats.

Xue Yi's heartbeat was a little fast now, and he was afraid that he would be slapped to death by the eldest lady next moment.

But...he didn't die even though he did that last night, he shouldn't die!

Gritting his teeth in his heart, he sat down where Xiao Qingruo was sitting just now, stretched out his big hand, hugged her slender waist, and pulled her over forcefully.

"Xue Yi, what are you doing!" Xiao Qingruo noticed that his behavior was abnormal, and immediately shouted in a low voice, and wanted to get up and run away.

Xue Yi controlled her tightly and whispered behind her ear: "In order to express my loyalty to you, I was almost beaten to death by the palace master just now. Give me a hug to comfort my injured heart."

At the same time, he placed his palm on her lower abdomen, close to her Dantian, and quietly sensed the fluctuations of her breath.

As a result...I felt nothing!

With such a close distance and direct physical contact, even if she is a strong person in the immortal realm, she cannot completely conceal it. There will definitely be weak fluctuations of true energy that Xue Yi detects.

But the fact is not!

Obviously, she is really an ordinary person without any cultivation!

"Asshole! You've gone too far!"

Snap!

A slap fell on Xue Yi's face.

Taking advantage of his slight stunned moment, Xiao Qingruo broke away from him in an instant and ran to the other side of the table.

She glared at Xue Yi, clenched her hands into fists, and gritted her teeth and said, "Do you really think I'm a loser and can be bullied by you? Who do you think I am!"

"Miss, I..."

Xue Yi felt bad, she was really angry this time.

What he said just now was no longer frivolous, but was actually trying to offend her. Not to mention that Xiao Qingruo was a eldest lady, even a girl from an ordinary family would not be able to let him do such nonsense.

"I thought you were just a dishonest person on the surface, but actually a pretty reliable person. Unexpectedly...I was wrong about you."

Xiao Qingruo looked disappointed and angry. When he saw the knife he brought back, he reached out to grab it, hoping to use it for self-protection.

The result... couldn't lift it.

The knife and the scabbard weighed fifty or sixty kilograms, and it couldn't be used without some ability.

She had no strength at all, so it was impossible for her to use it.

Unable to lift the knife, Xiao Qingruo was depressed, and simply pulled out the hairpin on her head, pointed at her neck and said: "Don't think of insulting me! At most, I will die!"

"No, no, no, no, no, I'm kidding, I'm kidding!"

Xue Yi hurriedly explained, really afraid that she would get excited and leave permanent scars on that beautiful neck.

"Are you kidding?" Xiao Qingruo glared, her anger not only did not subside, but became more vigorous.

"Explain it to me clearly!" She gritted her teeth, her eyes seemed to be able to kill.

Xue Yi hesitated for a moment.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "I'll tell you everything, let's continue to cooperate, just treat what I said just now as if I didn't say it, I really didn't mean that, I just wanted to test your strength in close contact."

His tone was very sincere.

Xiao Qingruo's anger subsided a little bit after hearing this.

But she was still very unhappy. She slammed the jade hairpin on the table and broke it. She said in a vicious tone: "Tell me word by word, what did the mansion master ask you to do!"

"This is what happened..."

Xue Yi told her the whole story.

After listening, Xiao Qingruo's face became much uglier. She held the broken jade hairpin in her hand and gritted her teeth and said: "I knew Xu Conglong was not so easy to deceive. It turned out that he was waiting for me here..."

Xue Yi immediately asked: "Miss, have you and the mansion master... really fought?"

Xiao Qingruo looked at him, the eyes met for a long time, and finally nodded.
