Chen Yi was fidgeting there, she hadn't expected Wu Tian to suddenly rush in.
In that instant, the air seemed to freeze. Chen Yi and Wu Tian's eyes met, and a wave of awkwardness hung in the air.
A few seconds later, Chen Yi suddenly let out a scream and quickly covered herself with the quilt.
She shouted, "You, you, you, why did you come in without knocking!"
Wu Tian said with a face full of confusion, "No, why would I knock? Weren't you sleeping? I was afraid of waking you up, so I just came in."
"Right, what were you doing just now?"
Chen Yi was too embarrassed to say. With a blushing face, she said, "It's none of your business what I was doing. You, you, you, go out first, I need to get dressed!"
Wu Tian became even more confused, but he didn't say much. He waited outside the door for a while, and after Chen Yi was dressed, he walked back in.
Afterward, the two finished breakfast in the room.
Wu Tian asked Chen Yi, "Where are you going next? Back to work?"
Chen Yi nodded and said, "Yes, my flight is this afternoon, so I have to report back. What about you? What are you going to do?"
Wu Tian didn't intend to tell Chen Yi his purpose, so he said, "Me? I have something important to handle shortly, so we'll part ways here."
The word "part ways" made Chen Yi feel a little uncomfortable.
She looked at Wu Tian with reluctance and said, "What about in the future? Can't we see each other again?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "That shouldn't be the case, should it? We can be considered friends."
"How about this, let's add each other on WeChat, so we can keep in touch often."
"Okay, okay," Hearing Wu Tian say this, Chen Yi immediately agreed and eagerly took out her phone.
They added each other on WeChat like that, chatted for a while longer, and then parted ways.
Wu Tian had a pretty good impression of Chen Yi.
Of course, he didn't have any special feelings for Chen Yi; he just treated her as a friend.
After leaving the hotel, following the address Bai Ruoqi had given him, Wu Tian went directly to the Bashan Sect.
The Bashan Sect was located in a large mountain in the suburbs. It was said that the entire mountain belonged to them, and they were very famous locally.
Following the mountain path upwards, Wu Tian arrived in front of the main hall of the Bashan Sect.
The Bashan Sect was known for its strength, and the people here were all muscular men.
Even the disciples guarding the gate were outrageously large, capable of being personal trainers at a gym.
Seeing Wu Tian approach, the guard disciples immediately stopped him and said, "Who are you? This is a restricted area of the Bashan Sect. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter, so please descend the mountain quickly!"
Wu Tian explained, "Hello, I've come specifically to find you."
"Please call out your Sect Leader. He'll know why I'm here when he sees me."
"You're looking for our Sect Leader? I understand. What's your name?"
Wu Tian said, "My name is Wu Tian. Please give this to your Sect Leader."
Saying that, Wu Tian handed Su Qiannai's token to the guard disciple.
The guard disciple took the token and went up. After a while, a burly middle-aged man walked over.
This middle-aged man was as sturdy as a mountain, as if he could twist Wu Tian's head off with a casual gesture.
He was Zhang Kui, the current Sect Leader of the Bashan Sect.
Seeing Wu Tian, he laughed heartily and said, "Wu Tian, is it? Hello, hello. So you're the one Miss Su mentioned!"
Wu Tian also smiled and said, "You must be Sect Leader Zhang, right? Hello, I'm here to undergo the trial."
Zhang Kui laughed loudly, "Of course, I know you're here for the trial. Miss Su has already told me. Come in with me now."
Wu Tian nodded, and then followed Zhang Kui into the main hall of the Bashan Sect.
The style of the Bashan Sect was rugged, which could be seen from the furnishings in the main hall.
The main hall was directly carved out of the mountain, with hard rocks everywhere.
Eight-foot-tall men were common here. They stood by a long stone table in the center, on which large pieces of braised meat were placed.
Zhang Kui invited Wu Tian to sit down and then said with a laugh, "Wu Tian, didn't Miss Su say you could only come after a year? It's only been half a year, why are you here now?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Something happened, so I came early. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Zhang Kui laughed, "What problem could there be? It doesn't matter when you come, since you won't pass the trial anyway, haha."
Zhang Kui's words were spoken heartily, but Wu Tian felt a sting in his ears.
He looked at Zhang Kui with interest and said, "Sect Leader Zhang, you shouldn't speak too soon."
"The trial hasn't even started yet, how can you say I won't pass? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"
Zhang Kui laughed, "Hasty? No, no, this is not hasty at all."
"The trials I've set are for true men. For someone like you, it's probably impossible."
"You can have a meal here and then leave. Come back after you've worked out a bit. Looking at your scrawny physique, you're like a woman. I don't find you appealing, haha!"
Zhang Kui's words weren't intentionally mocking, but the tone made people even more uncomfortable.
Because it meant that Zhang Kui truly looked down on people, and even considered such things normal.
Wu Tian was a bit displeased and said, "Sect Leader Zhang, I won't be eating. Just tell me the trial directly, so we don't waste time here."
"After leaving here, I have to go to the next place, so please hurry."
Zhang Kui still didn't take Wu Tian seriously and said with a smile, "Oh, Wu Tian, why are you in such a hurry? You can go to other places first, it's not too late to come here last."
"The trials here are not trivial ones. You definitely won't be able to pass them, so don't even think about it."
"This isn't me looking down on you; it's just the reality. I can't help it."
Wu Tian said coldly, "What if I insist on undergoing the trial? What then? Are you going to refuse?"
Facing Wu Tian's gaze, Zhang Kui paused slightly, and his smile became more restrained.
He snorted, somewhat displeased, "I've given you face, and you didn't know how to seize it."
"Since that's the case, then come with me. I want to see how you'll pass the trial I've set for you!"
Wu Tian had been waiting for this. He stood up and said, "Alright, then let's stop the nonsense and go."
