My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1138: Selection Rules

Only those proficient in both literature and martial arts can walk the path to the pinnacle and reach the summit of the strong.

"Oh, why did you forget mine?" Chen Tianlong asked with a hint of confusion.

"Aren’t you the one who forgot? Otherwise, why didn’t you ask us for it?"

The chubby envoy asked with a chuckle.

Chen Tianlong was speechless, but it seemed true. Why did he forget?

Thinking about it, Chen Tianlong could only shake his head.

At this moment, the two envoys from the Celestial Pill Sect stepped forward and loudly announced, "Hello everyone, the next task is to find the entrance to the Celestial Pill Sect, the final test. Whether you can find it is up to you. Now, each of you has two brocade bags in hand. The red one will give you hints about what kind of thing it is, and the green one gives you hints on how to use this thing."

"Alright, is there anything unclear?" The chubby one added.

At this point, the crowd started discussing, but after a moment, it quieted down, "No more questions? Then let’s start. You have one day. By this time tomorrow, if you haven’t entered the Celestial Pill Sect, the gate will automatically lock."

"The task begins, move out!"

The Cold-faced Envoy announced.

Chen Tianlong was taken aback by a sudden shout from the Cold Face next to him, almost scared to death.

"Wushuang, let’s search together."

After leaving the hotel, Chen Tianlong said to Lin Wushuang, "Right, open your brocade bag and let me see what’s written in it."

Following the envoy’s instructions, Lin Wushuang opened the red brocade bag and took out a white slip of paper with the words: Under the cross, three people, fifteen days, trust is the basis of standing.

"Chen Tianlong, what does this even mean? I can’t understand a word."

Lin Wushuang read it twice, feeling clueless.

Chen Tianlong looked at it, thinking it seemed like a word puzzle, and was at a loss. You’d think these two envoys had nothing better to do than make word puzzles?

"Wushuang, it looks like a word puzzle to me. Try thinking in that direction."

Chen Tianlong hadn’t looked at his own brocade bag yet and didn’t feel much like investigating it further.

"Okay, Chen Tianlong, you should quickly check your brocade bag then."

Lin Wushuang nodded and said.

With Chen Tianlong around, she wasn’t worried. There would always be a way. Every time there was a critical moment, Chen Tianlong would solve the problem, so this time wouldn’t be an exception.

Chen Tianlong directly took out his own brocade bag, opened the red one, and spread the slip of paper only to find it completely blank—what a rip-off.

Chen Tianlong cursed in his heart.

"Chen Tianlong, what’s written on yours?"

Seeing Chen Tianlong remain silent after a while, Lin Wushuang asked curiously.

Chen Tianlong didn’t speak but handed over the slip of paper directly. Lin Wushuang took it and was stunned to find it was just a blank piece of paper.

"Chen Tianlong, did the envoy make a mistake? Why is there nothing written?"

Lin Wushuang asked in confusion.

"They shouldn’t have. Those two studied all night before handing it to me. It’s unlikely they wouldn’t realize it was blank inside. It’s either deliberate, or there’s something big hidden within."

Chen Tianlong’s eyes flickered, feeling these two envoys had a particular focus on him.

As for Liu Ting, Li Bingshuang, and their brocade bags, Chen Tianlong didn’t have time to help them decipher. They seemed to head west with Yang Xinru and the others. Chen Tianlong took Thunder Wolf’s three brocade bags to give these four girls more options, as he couldn’t be there to assist.

As the saying goes, having intentions but not strength, providing more choices.

"In that case, Chen Tianlong, take a look at the next brocade bag and see if something’s wrong." Lin Wushuang suggested.

That was what Chen Tianlong intended to do. Since Lin Wushuang said so, he took out the green brocade bag, opened it, and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing a dense line of words.

The slip read: A flash of red fist cuts across the sky, swiftly shuttling through time and space.

"Why is it so elaborate again? What nonsense." Chen Tianlong felt a headache. These envoys really know how to mess with people—one is a blank paper, and the other is a sentence he can’t comprehend at all.

"Right, Wushuang, check what’s in your green brocade bag?"

After finishing his, Chen Tianlong suddenly thought of Lin Wushuang’s and reckoned there might be a hint.

Lin Wushuang opened her green brocade bag, and both were stunned. It was a blank piece of paper.

"I’m beginning to suspect we both got played." Chen Tianlong pondered.

"No way? Those two envoys seem very serious, and they’re very mysterious. They shouldn’t be messing with us." Lin Wushuang added, "What should we do next?"

"Hmm, let’s head back to the hotel and ask the envoys what’s going on."

Chen Tianlong didn’t know what to do either, having no clues, so he decided to confirm the issue of the blank slip.

"Okay."

Lin Wushuang nodded knowingly, and the two returned to the hotel together.

But they found the hotel empty. Chen Tianlong asked the hotel owner, who also didn’t know where the two high figures went, appearing and disappearing mysteriously.

Chen Tianlong thought: These two surely predicted I would come looking for them, meaning the content on the paper might actually be real.

With that in mind, Chen Tianlong took out the slip from the green brocade bag again, studying it carefully.

A flash of red fist cuts across the sky, swiftly shuttling through time and space.

Chen Tianlong stared at the sentence, hoping to find some clues. Meanwhile, Lin Wushuang was also studying her slip but quickly had an insight.

"Under the cross, three people, fifteen days, trust is the basis of standing." Lin Wushuang repeated several times, unable to find any pattern.

Chen Tianlong studied for a long time but couldn’t find any clues, so he decided to help Lin Wushuang first. After all, even if he cracked his, not cracking hers would still be a problem, so he moved closer.

As he approached, his body reacted slightly to the faint fragrance wafting in, making him a bit dizzy. Looking at Lin Wushuang’s fair side face, he couldn’t help but lean in for a kiss.

"Ah! Chen Tianlong, people might see us here."

Lin Wushuang’s face turned red instantly. She was worried about being seen, not afraid of Chen Tianlong kissing her. Since she had decided to be with him, she didn’t mind these things.

Originally, Chen Tianlong wasn’t so eager; it was just too tempting a moment ago, and he couldn’t resist. Now, being startled by Lin Wushuang, he snapped back to reality.

"Hehe, it’s fine, no one can see us." Chen Tianlong teased with a hint of mischief in his voice.

"You bad guy, if you bully me again, I won’t talk to you." Lin Wushuang said with a slightly reproachful tone.

"Oh, alright."

Chen Tianlong was a bit disappointed, but just as he was about to lower his head to look at the slip Lin Wushuang was holding, he felt a pair of warm lips pressing against his cheek before quickly retreating.
