In the arena, Hua Rou and Yu Er, who were surrounded, should have been in a very precarious situation. But when Hua Rou went forward and pulled Yu Er up, everything seemed to change.

  They are clearly two people, but their footsteps seem to be one person, with consistent pace and complementary moves, this coordination is smooth and flawless, almost unbeatable.

  The remaining people couldn't find an opportunity to attack and were instead hit one by one by Hua Rou and Yu Er, clearing the stage.

  Before she knew it, there were only Huā Róu, Yù ér, Táng Fēi Yàn and two other disciples left in the field.

  The chaos naturally came to an end.

  "The duel has ended, congratulations to the five of you for obtaining the trial qualification."

  Hua Rou immediately withdrew her move, panting and smiling at Yu'er, then excitedly looked down at the stage, but there was only Tang Liu's open-mouthed face.

  Longing for you, I lost sight of you again.

  Hua Rou immediately pulled Yu'er and ran down to the field, while at the same time Tang Xiao saw Hua Rou win and hurriedly walked over to congratulate them.

  "Wow, you're amazing! I didn't know you had such a skill hidden up your sleeve." Tang Liu walked towards Hua Rou and the others, sincerely praising: "Is it true that Mu Jun taught you?"

  "Hmm" Hua Ruo nodded and asked anxiously: "Where's Mu Ge? He was just here a moment ago, wasn't he?"

  "Oh, he said he was tired and went back to sleep."

  "What's wrong? Is he uncomfortable?"

  "I feel like I'm looking at something that's a bit uncomfortable..."

  Hua Rou heard this and turned around to run away. Tang Liu shouted loudly: "Hey, hey, where are you going?"

  "I'm going to find Mu Ge. Yuer, return the clothes to Liu Er Shixiong." Hua Rou shouted loudly as she ran past Tang Xiao's side, completely ignoring Tang Xiao and his outstretched hand.

  Hua Rong hastily left, Tang Xiao stood in the distance with a dejected expression and reluctantly dropped his hand.

  Tang Feiyan, who had followed him over, stood behind him, her hands tightly grasping the whip and said in a low voice: "The first person who should be congratulated by you is me."

  Tang Xiao looked at her and said expressionlessly, "Congratulations." After finishing speaking, he walked away. Tang Feiyan chased after him, "Why are you being so cold to me? I didn't lay a hand on her."

  "If you had laid a hand on her, I wouldn't have been so polite." Tang Xiao dropped the sentence and quickly walked away, leaving Tang Feiyan standing alone in the same place, with tears of grievance and resentment welling up in her eyes.

  She was so furious just now because Tang Xiao's eyes were full of threat when he looked at her.

  In this chaotic battle, she couldn't afford to lose, but letting Hua Rou win was also unbearable for her. All she could do was make a "fair" move, but although she had compromised and conceded, it still didn't bring her Tang Xiao's gentle gaze.

  Mo Jun said he should go back and rest, but he didn't return to the agency house. Instead, he went to the back mountain, following the markings on the map in his memory, and found an old tree.

  He looked around, walked to the back of the old tree, parted the dense weeds, and dug into the ground, unexpectedly lifting up a cover board covered with wild grass.

  After a moment's hesitation he crawled inside and pulled the cover back into place.

  The wind blows by, the grass sways gently, and the leaves rustle softly. Here, all is quiet, as if no one has ever passed through.

  I took out a lighter from my pocket and opened it. After blowing gently twice, the secret passage clearly appeared before my eyes.

  The passage was very narrow, only one person wide and five feet high. As he walked through it, he had to bend his waist and fold his body. And as he stepped forward step by step, the marks of excavation on the wall of the passage became clearer and clearer.

  "Flower soft!"

  Hua Ruo hastily ran to the front of the government office compound and was just about to greet the gatekeeper, when she heard Tang Jiu'er's voice.

  Hua Rou immediately turned around and saw Tang Jiu Er standing not far away waving at her, she could only hurry over.

  "Master!"

  "Having won, why didn't you return to the poison room and instead ran to the organ room?"

  "Six Two said Mu Ge's body is not feeling well, I want to take a look at him."

  Tang Jiuer immediately pulled down her face, displeased: "With time to care about others, it's better to take good care of yourself. The trial is imminent, you still have many things to do, follow me!"

  Tang Jiuer finished speaking and turned around to leave.

  Hua Rou helplessly glanced at the courtyard of the Mechanism House and had no choice but to follow Tang Jiu'er back to the Poison House.

  A thin book was thrown onto the table in front of Hua Rou by Tang Jiuer.

  "Come here at sunrise tomorrow and recite it for me."

  Hua Rou picked it up in shock and flipped through it: "Is it so urgent?"

  "Yes, I can only give you this much time, before the trial begins, you will be very busy every day."

  Hua Rou flipped through the book and found that it was all about herbal medicine, so she muttered: "It's herbal medicine, and they're all unheard of and unseen!"

  "So you must remember their appearance, characteristics, effects and taboos, to achieve seeing the real thing can be identified and mastered."

  Hua Rou looked up at Tang Jiu'er: "Master wants me to remember these, will they be useful in the trial?"

  Tang Jiuer blinked: "Regardless of whether it's useful or not, these are all beneficial to you and have no drawbacks."

  "What are you doing here again?" Tang Xiao looked at Tang Feiyan with a face of impatience at the entrance of the hidden weapon room: "I have something to do these days, no time to accompany you."

  "I know you're busy, I don't dare disturb you." Tang Feiyan looked pitiful and cautious: "But at least you have to tell me who the members of our trial team are, so I can prepare too."

  Tang Xiao raised an eyebrow: "Us?"

  "Right, each team can't have more than six people, so who are you planning to bring along with the other four?"

  Tang Xiao stared at Tang Fei Yan for a few seconds: "Sorry, this time I won't be on the same team as you."

  Tang Feiyan was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

  "You and I have both been through trials, separating to lead our own teams can give more fellow disciples opportunities and is also fairer."

  Tang Xiao finished speaking and turned around to return to the courtyard, but Tang Feiyan suddenly became anxious and angrily said: "What nonsense are you talking about! Are you trying to team up with Hua Rou?"

  Tang Xiao paused for a moment, then stepped inside. Tang Fei Yan immediately rushed to his front, stretched out her hands and blocked his way: "I told you so, didn't I?"

  Just as Tang Xiao was about to speak, a disciple entered the courtyard. Tang Feiyan had no choice but to put down her arm, feeling embarrassed and humiliated.

  The two disciples who entered the courtyard saw the appearance of Tang Xiao and Tang Fei Yan's conversation, exchanged a glance, and quickly ran into the courtyard.

  "So far I haven't thought of who to team up with, you don't have to be like that."

  Tang Xiao finished speaking and was about to leave when Tang Fei Yan grabbed his arm: "I allow her to join our team."

  Tang Xiao stared at Tang Fei Yan in shock: "You permit?"

  "Yes, although I don't like her, no, I hate her, but as long as it's your intention." Tang Feiyan said with a mixture of frustration and helplessness: "I still agree to let her join our team."

  Tang Xiao reached out and forcibly pulled Tang Fei Yan's hand off his arm: "I think she won't agree."
