Lin Yi blinked as he looked at Qiqi arranging the fish bones, sinking into his memories ⊠Back when he was young, his master had come up with a question like this to train his memory and observation skills-putting the fish bones back after eating was a test every year, too.
However, all of this had become part of Lin Yiâs memory, forever. His master had left, and he didnât know where she went. As for the fish bones, Lin Yi didnât go and place them one by one anymore. One reason was that Lin Yi didnât need to train his memory and observation skills like this anymore. Two, Lin Yi was gradually stepping onto the path of a practitioner, leaving the days of being a killer âŠ
Lin Yi was filled with emotions as he looked at Qiqi, as if he was back in his childhood âŠ
Lin Yi wasnât surprised that Qiqi knew how to do this-she was from that assassin organization, after all, and this sort of training should be pretty common. It was just that she wasnât that familiar with it, and it seemed like itâd been years since she last did it.
Qiqi was focused on putting the bones together-it wasnât just Lin Yi, but she felt like sheâd returned to her childhood as well. It was normal for people to reminisce when they were in despair, and it was the same for her.
Before she knew it, half an hour had passed. Qiqi used to only need a couple of minutes to piece a set of fish bones together, but things were different now. Sometimes, she needed half a day to piece one together.
Qiqi picked up a fish bone, put it down, and picked it up again. She wasnât sure what to do-this was a similar fish bone, one on the back and belly of the fish, and the length and thickness were about the same. She frowned and started thinking.
After a while, Qiqi finally put her hand down and placed the bone on the fishâs stomach.
âThis is a Fishbone on the back of a fish. Iâve told you the difference many times, but why canât you remember it?â Lin Yi didnât know whether to laugh or cry at Qiqiâs actions, but he realized that something was wrong after he finished!
The person in front of him was yang Qiqi, not his childhood playmate, yang Xiaoxiao ⊠His masterâs daughter, yang Xiaoxiao, used to mess up this fish bone too, and Lin Yi had to correct her every time.
âAh?â Qiqi froze, her eyes a little dazed. She raised her head and realized that it was Lin Yi! In that moment, she even thought that Lin Yi was the same person,âWhat did you just say?â
âNothing, I said you misspelled it. This fish bone should be here.â Lin Yi said, pointing at the fishâs back.
âHow did you know?â Qiqi was confused-she was too caught up in her own memories to hear what Lin Yi said, or maybe she was hallucinating.
âI also tried.â Lin Yi said.
âOh ⊠Thank you âŠâ Qiqi put the bone back on the back of the fish.âI didnât expect you to do such a boring thing.â
âAre you bored âŠâ Lin Yi was considering if he should tell her that he was from that assassin group as well. He wasnât familiar with Qiqi before, but theyâd met so many times, and this time, they were friends in need. Lin Yi didnât have to worry about her character. This girl was a bit of an ingrate, but she wasnât one to blabber and go around telling people.
Plus, he was planning on going to the island where he trained after the test was over to visit yang Xiaoxiao and xiaojiu.
But Lin Yi didnât know if heâd be able to get out of this test yet, and he wasnât in the mood to talk about it. âFish bones can train oneâs memory and observation.â
âEh? You were an assassin before?â Qiqi blinked.
âEvery cultivator is actually an assassin. In the world of cultivators, todayâs friend may be tomorrowâs enemy. If you donât have a keen intuition, Iâm afraid you wonât even know how you died!â âItâs just like how youâre kind enough to save someone, but that person wants to kill you instead,âLin Yi said with a smile.
âYou ⊠Lin Yi, why are you still talking about this? I already said I wonât kill you!â Qiqiâs face was red, very embarrassed.
âIâm just giving an example, not you!â Lin Yi said innocently.
âI didnât say that.â Qiqi denied.
âHehe.â Lin Yi smiled.
âWhat are you laughing at?â Qiqi asked.
âNothing. I just feel that you look like a friend of mine from the past.â Lin Yi was just telling the truth-he had an illusion that Qiqi was his childhood friend, yang Xiaoxiao, but it was just an instinct.
After all, itâd been so many years, and Lin Yi didnât even remember what yang Xiaoxiao looked like. The Yang Xiaoxiao right now should be training hard, preparing to inherit her fatherâs former King of Assassins position! It was impossible for him to risk his life to enter the cultivation world and participate in some trial.
Although both of them were surnamed yang, many of the disciples of this generation were orphans. After they graduated, they followed their masterâs surname, yang, so this was not surprising.
âYour excuse for hitting on me is really poor.â Qiqi rolled her eyes at Lin Yi, her voice weak.
âHow is this flirting? I know you, okay?â âIâm telling the truth. You donât think that Iâm trying to pursue you, do you?â
âThatâs hard to say. Thereâs only the two of us left here. If we really canât get out, if you donât chase me, who do you chase? There arenât even any spirit beasts here!â Qiqi was just joking-it was too boring here, after all, and sheâd accepted Lin Yi already, so she didnât have any hostility towards him anymore.
âHehe, I really canât get out, so Iâll consider it.â Lin Yi said.
âNo, I already have a Prince Charming in my heart. Iâd rather die than submit.â Qiqi said.
âThen havenât you heard of the Overlord forcing himself on the bow?â Lin Yi asked.
âIf youâre not afraid that Iâll kill you, then do as you wish.â Qiqi said.
âHaha âŠâ Lin Yi smiled and looked at the sky. It was already night.âRest. I should start cultivating too.â
âEn âŠâ Qiqi didnât hesitate and lay down on the ground, ready to sleep. She wasnât on guard against Lin Yi-with his strength, it was impossible for him to do anything to her. It was just like what Lin Yi said-he could force himself on her.
Fifteen days was indeed the best time to leave the trial. This was the dividing line! (To be continued.)
