Peerless Heiress - Chapter 19
However, no one was dissatisfied with the result; instead, the crowd lingered there, reluctant to leave.
The third level, entering the back garden, means that no one can see it.
However, having witnessed the immense difficulty of the first two trials and the unparalleled talent of Young Master Moyu, people are even more eager to see the mysterious third trial, which is not in the public eye, and want to know the outcome. Even if they cannot know the specific process, knowing the result would be enough to fulfill their wish.
Still, no one left.
Chapter 55 Pass (Part 4)
Mo Yu raised an eyebrow, staring silently at the enormous braziers spread across the ground before him.
The third challenge required him to cross the braziers alone, ford the pond in front of him, and then reach the residence of Miss Ruying.
With such a continuous, towering fire, even someone with exceptional agility wouldn't find a foothold. Moreover, he didn't want to appear weak in front of that girl; he absolutely couldn't rely on martial arts to get through. That girl was probably smugly watching him struggle right now, wasn't she?
Mo Yu suddenly curled his lips into a smile, snapped his folding fan shut with a "snap," and laughed arrogantly.
I sat in the room, chin in hand, listening to the servant's report from outside the window.
Unexpectedly, this Mo Yu is quite extraordinary. The two difficult questions I carefully selected to challenge him were easily solved by him. Perhaps the questions I set were a bit too easy?
However, I remember that the three trials that Ru Ying originally had to set in the Testing Pavilion weren't this difficult at all. Countless talented scholars came to take the test, yet not a single one could solve them. It seems the title of the greatest scholar in the world is truly well-deserved. Mo Yu is indeed not someone to be underestimated.
However, getting through this challenge won't be so easy.
A faint smile spread across my lips.
I tapped the table lightly and slowly instructed, "Lvju, go and see how Ruying's preparations are going?"
“Miss, Miss Ruying has already made preparations. I saw them when I came back just now. There are dozens of braziers, one after another. Even if that Young Master Moyu can pass the test, who knows when that will be. Miss, there’s no need to worry.” Lüju replied with a light laugh.
I tilted my head, thinking it over and over, but something still felt off; I had a bad feeling. The first two levels went by too quickly.
I jumped up from the table. "No, I can't rest easy. I have to go check it out."
Before Lü Ju could answer, a servant's voice rang out from outside the window: "Master, something bad has happened! Mo Yu has already passed the third trial."
"What?!" I exclaimed.
How is that possible?! I clearly had so many braziers set up, and there was also a large pond. How could he have passed through so quickly all by himself?
I jumped up and rushed out.
As soon as I stepped outside, I looked up and saw a figure in the distance, dressed in a long, wide-sleeved white robe, his clothes fluttering in the air. He was walking high in the sky, surrounded by flowing clouds and eagles and giant eagles soaring among them, which accentuated his elegant and ethereal figure. His steps were leisurely, calm and graceful, his eyes were clear, and he had a smile on his lips. His expression revealed a kind of serene composure that seemed to be looking down on the world.
This...this is clearly the name of a carefree immortal.
A chorus of surprise and cheers erupted throughout the city. Everyone had seen Young Master Mo Yu in mid-air, and everyone was awestruck by his radiance. Those in the casino who had bet on Young Master Mo Yu to be stronger than Young Master Lin must be ecstatic.
I stared at him, mouth agape, for a long while. Then, my gaze shifted downwards and fell upon the two long bamboo poles beneath his feet. He had actually made a pair of stilts and effortlessly crossed the braziers and the wide pond, slowly making his way ashore.
He actually thought of this method?
I was both annoyed and amused. Through the dense, sparse flower grove, I glared at him as he casually stopped in front of Ru Ying with extremely elegant and leisurely steps.
Chapter 56 A Date with a Beauty
Mo Yu spun lightly and landed gracefully from mid-air, calmly and slowly, without stirring up a speck of dust.
A look of obvious surprise and admiration appeared on Ying's usually aloof and expressionless face. However, she quickly regained her composure.
The two looked at each other in silence, their expressions both frozen and unreadable.
I then realized that although Ru Ying's figure was slender and graceful, she did not appear feminine at all when standing next to Mo Yu. Instead, she appeared tall and supple. The two of them were quite different in their own way.
"Come out." Mo Yu suddenly turned his head and said to the flower grove where I was.
I pursed my lips and emerged from the flower grove.
Mo Yu smiled as I approached, then suddenly reached out and plucked a pink petal from my head. I felt a little embarrassed and took a step back.
Ru Ying reached out and took my hand.
Huh? I gave her a strange look, but she kept her lips tightly pressed together and didn't look at me.
Uh, these two are a bit strange, but I can't worry about that now, because I suddenly feel the atmosphere is getting a little chilly.
"Hey, are you here to see me?" I pulled my hand away and said to Mo Yu with a grin.
Mo Yu glanced at me. "What do you think?"
"You cunning Minister, why are you only arriving now?" Were you observing me all along, trying to see if I was a spy from an enemy state?
"You trust me?" What if I secretly sabotage things?
A smile crept onto the fox's lips. "You've been waiting for me?"
"Yeah, right!" I rolled my eyes. I was having a great time by myself, it's best if you don't come.
Mo Yu's mood suddenly improved. "Little vixen, you still haven't explained what happened that day."
"Little...little imp?" I almost choked.
Hey, hey, hey, even though I have a demon master, I'm definitely not a demon, okay? I was so angry my face turned white.
I'll endure it. But you'll get what's coming to you eventually.
