Quick Wear: The troublesome female supporting role was locked up by the boss and cried

Chapter 514: The Evil Little Sister in the Immortal Cultivation Novels (29)

The walls were inlaid with luminous pearls, illuminating the road brightly.

Fei Jian took the lead and went down the extended staircase, followed closely by Ji Chutang after sending a message to the others.

He Jizhi followed him down the stairs.

As expected, what lay below was indeed the secret room in the city lord's mansion where various archives were stored.

However, most of the archives have been destroyed by the passage of time, and only a small number have survived to this day because they are protected by small arrays.

Ji Chutang went through the past documents one by one.

Most of these files record the secrets of the city lord's mansion, or its connections with special figures... and there are also several portraits of women.

For them now, these things are no longer important.

After all, this world has almost disappeared.

So what value do the secrets of the City Lord's Mansion have? Absolutely nothing, not even as useful as a blank sheet of Xuan paper.

After a quick search, they finally found the city lord's seal inside a small drawer.

Ji Chutang took out paper and ink from his Qiankun Ring and then carefully wrote down the rules and location of the literary competition.

As she made her final stroke, the others rushed over.

After writing it, sign it with the seal of the city lord's mansion.

Once this announcement is posted, this crucial part is complete.

This matter should be handled sooner rather than later, otherwise things may change.

Since their livelihoods were at stake, no one dared to be careless and set off for the door without hesitation.

Generally, notices are posted in two places: either at the city gate, where the city guards are stationed.

Alternatively, it could be outside the city lord's mansion, which would be convenient for registration.

Before the black-armored soldiers arrived, they quickly posted the notice.

Following the written registration instructions, the group registered on the spot without much fanfare.

Then, in the large open courtyard of the city lord's mansion, a simple literary contest began.

There were not many heated arguments or competitions.

Ji Chutang was the first to step forward and recite a limerick:

Cultivating immortality doesn't involve being busy.

Let's brew wine and enjoy the clouds together.

I occasionally pick up some tender shoots to chew.

Enjoying a leisurely life through the years.

After Ji Chutang casually composed a limerick, the others all exaggeratedly admitted defeat.

"Junior Sister is truly accomplished in both literature and martial arts."

"Yes, yes, this poem is truly remarkable, its imagery is profound and far-reaching, I am completely humbled."

"The fairy is quick-witted and intelligent, and Ji Zhi bows down in submission."

Seeing that everyone had almost stopped acting, Ji Chutang's lips twitched slightly.

But there was a strange flying sword next to it, bobbing its head up and down as if it agreed with everyone's opinion.

However, this performance at least ensured that the process was followed correctly.

Then it was announced that Ji Chutang had won the championship of this year's Biwen Competition.

Everyone looked expectantly at the Heavenly Gate floating in the sky, hoping it would give some kind of response.

However, the group's bright eyes quickly dimmed, and they stared speechlessly at the Heavenly Gate, which remained completely still.

Good grief, are they trying to discriminate against us?

Even if this championship isn't particularly prestigious, it still has to be a championship with proper procedures.

Just when everyone thought that the Heavenly Gate would not give any response.

It suddenly flickered a few times.

However, it looks a bit like it hasn't been turned on for too long, so it appears to be frozen.

Hesitantly, he refused to open the Heavenly Gate directly and let down its light, let alone allow them to take the opportunity to escape from this world through its gate.

The expectant look in their eyes remained unchanged, but what followed seemed to be Tianmen deliberately tormenting them.

It shook several times, but it just wouldn't turn on.

Hey, it's like you're just teasing someone.

Judging from the reaction of the broken door, they naturally knew that this was more useful than Wen Da, but not entirely useful.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have died in such a hesitant and uncertain manner.

However, they couldn't figure out exactly where the problem lay.

After thinking for a long time, He Jizhi suddenly looked up in surprise and said, "I know!"

Several people turned to look at him, their eyes sparkling.

His lips twitched slightly, and then he voiced his guess: "Perhaps it's because our competition doesn't have any prizes."

"After all, I've never heard of any large event that doesn't offer prizes or rewards."

Upon hearing what he said, everyone felt that it made sense.

Then He Jizhi took out a black jade pendant and handed it out.

Although she didn't know where he got it from, Ji Chutang didn't react strangely at all.

Instead, he readily accepted it, saying, "Thanks."

The next second, just as they had predicted, the sky gate changed.

In an instant, the heavenly gate opened wide, and golden specks of light eagerly flew out, but they circled above the group several times without jumping down.

Then everyone flew back.

Only a small, slightly dimmer point of light remained, and it hesitated for a while before flying away.

It then remained suspended in the air above Ji Chutang.

Even though the light spots have no facial features, everyone seems to see a conflicted expression on its face.

Ji Chutang was so angry she laughed. This little thing was quite discriminatory.

Without giving it a chance to hesitate, a spiritual net shot towards it in the next second. The little light spot realized this and frantically tried to run away.

However, he couldn't escape and was caught by Ji Chutang's spirit-catching net.

The little guy initially panicked and tried to break free, but after realizing that his efforts were futile, he finally slumped listlessly in the corner of the spirit-catching net.

Ji Chutang didn't tease it; he simply placed it in his Qiankun Ring. He didn't have time to study it now.

And after the heavenly gate opened wide, it revealed the true face behind the scenes that no one knew.

A black, boundless void.

It's like the blackness of the vast, boundless universe.

One glance was enough to make one feel uneasy, and to ensure there were no unexpected events, Shen Lin'an performed another tortoise shell divination.

The path to survival still points unwaveringly towards this heavenly gate.

They could only suppress their unease and fly towards the sky on their swords.

The black-armored soldiers, like fixed NPCs, only found their location at this moment, arriving late.

The group arrived at the Heavenly Gate they had started with, but this time it was completely different from before.

Just being near it used to feel unbearably hot, but now, instead of feeling the heat, everyone felt a chilling aura.

Without much hesitation, they were about to fly to the Heavenly Gate.

Just as they flew to the entrance and were about to step inside, Ji Chutang suddenly stopped and looked at He Jizhi.

He Jizhi's expression remained unchanged; he simply asked Ji Chutang with his usual amiable smile:

"What's wrong, fairy?"

Ji Chutang smiled gently, then asked him, "We haven't found your wife yet, are you really going to leave like this?"

He Jizhi's expression shifted slightly, then he shook his head.

"It's alright, you can go now. I'll find my wife myself."

Ji Chutang looked at him with a half-smile.
