Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 527 - 523: Qi Wan’Er’s First Gate Assessment

After Xia Tianming and Xia Naiwen entered, they just circled the decrepit Divine Hall a few times, without any intention of delving deeper.

After just a brief look, they went aside to comprehend their own Great Dao.

The women, however, followed Xia Feng and thoroughly explored the Divine Hall, with Li Qingxue being the first to react.

Previously, Xia Feng had explored the entire Holy Sword Secret Realm with her, and she gained considerable insights into the Great Dao of Celestial Sword.

Now the three portals inside this Divine Hall required assessments related to music, so naturally, they needed Qi Wan’Er.

As she noticed the other sisters looking at her, Qi Wan’Er’s face turned a bit red with embarrassment.

"You all, don’t look at me like that. My understanding of the Great Dao of Music isn’t that deep; it’s just that my father and mother forcibly imparted some knowledge to me."

"I... I might not be able to solve these three assessments at all."

Behind her, Li Qingxue nudged her shoulder: "Hey, stop being so modest. We all have innate Saint Bodies, with extraordinary abilities to comprehend our own Great Dao."

"Except for our husband, no one knows their own Great Dao better than we do."

"Now that our husband wants to obtain what’s inside, you should also familiarize yourself with your own Great Dao. It kills two birds with one stone, so why refuse?"

Qi Wan’Er still wore a look of insecurity, but her sisters stepped forward to persuade her.

"Back in Great Xia, you seemed very confident and had quite a fiery personality."

"Why are you so unsure of yourself now that we’re in the Divine Domain?"

"Were you bullied by your parents?"

"Or do you have half-siblings at home?"

Qi Wan’Er’s face momentarily turned pale but she quickly masked it and amusingly glared back at her sisters.

"Can’t you wish something good for me?"

"My home isn’t that troublesome. Having you sisters from different parents is already more than enough."

"Except my mother always tells me that being gentle is more attractive to boys."

As she finished, Qi Wan’Er’s ears slightly reddened, and her face showed a bit of shyness.

The group of women, seeing her in such a state, playfully teased her, but Qi Wan’Er, overwhelmed by their increasingly bold comments, finally shoved them away.

"Alright, enough already. Our husband is still waiting to teach me how to solve the portal assessments."

"Hmph, aren’t you all regretting not cultivating the Great Dao of Music now~"

Qi Wan’Er laughed triumphantly, then jogged over to Xia Feng’s side, looking up at him with an idolizing gaze.

Xia Feng’s face showed slight embarrassment because, truth be told, he hadn’t yet thoroughly understood the Melody Rules on the portals, so teaching Qi Wan’Er would be a stretch.

However, the women clearly didn’t see it that way, bustling about and pushing the two of them into the decrepit Divine Hall, then walking away from the area altogether.

After exiting the Holy Sword Secret Realm, Xia Feng hadn’t brought all the women in together.

Thus, the women now had a multitude of questions for Li Qingxue.

In just one Secret Realm’s time, her cultivation had broken through to the Ninth Grade Celestial God Realm, which made the sisters immensely envious.

Yet they all retained their rationality, understanding that the advancement in cultivation undoubtedly entailed proportional risks and costs.

They were particularly curious about what had occurred in the Holy Sword Secret Realm and began avidly questioning Li Qingxue about its events.

Qi Wan’Er, peeking outside, was also quite curious about the Secret Realm.

Xia Feng, noticing her curiosity, raised an eyebrow and asked, "How about you go listen first? I’m not in a hurry; I can explore on my own, and you can come back to find me afterward."

Qi Wan’Er’s face visibly showed interest, but she quickly shook her head.

More than learning about the events inside the Holy Sword Secret Realm, Qi Wan’Er wanted to stay with Xia Feng.

The affairs of the Secret Realm could be discussed anytime, but the opportunity to explore the Great Dao with Xia Feng was too precious to waste even a minute.

Seeing her determined expression, Xia Feng didn’t ask further questions. He led her directly to the three portals.

Qi Wan’Er approached, tapping her fingers on the portals and listening to the different sounds emanating from them, her face taking on an expression of contemplation.

After a while, she took out a pipa from her Storage Ring and began to play.

Xia Feng initially wanted to ask, since Qi Wan’Er didn’t seem to use a pipa before, but seeing her serious demeanor, he refrained from asking.

The sound of the pipa was exceptionally clear, but as it hit the portals, it only caused ripples, unable to open the doors.

Frowning, Qi Wan’Er pondered for a moment, then produced a flute from her Storage Ring and blew it.

Seeing no special reaction from the flute either, Qi Wan’Er’s frown deepened further.

She took out one instrument after another from her Storage Ring, continuously testing the assessments on the portals.

Initially, Xia Feng was eagerly watching the reactions of the portals, but later, he was astounded by the vast collection of the Demon Sound Divine Domain.

Qi Wan’Er had already tried over a hundred instruments on the portals and didn’t seem to be stopping, as if there were endless Divine Artifacts in her Storage Ring for testing.

It’s known that musical Divine Artifacts are rare, even rarer in some respects than spatial Divine Artifacts.

Yet Qi Wan’Er wielded over a hundred Divine Artifacts, causing Xia Feng to sigh in astonishment.

However, he reached out to stop Qi Wan’Er’s actions, pondered for a moment, and said, "Testing one by one is too troublesome, and we can’t confirm if the lack of reaction from the portals is due to insufficient melody time."

"We need to think about it more slowly."

Qi Wan’Er’s expression showed a bit of disappointment, "I originally thought I could be of some help."

Xia Feng patted her head and said with a smile, "Just being here with me is already a great help."

Qi Wan’Er, who had been feeling a bit down, blushed again upon hearing these words.

Xia Feng’s fingertips tapped on the portal, infusing a bit of the Great Dao of Music into the uniquely made portal, which then emitted a muffled sound.

Xia Feng found the sound familiar, but couldn’t recall what it was.

He continued to input the Great Dao of Music, making the portal emit sounds continuously while he frantically searched his memory for where he had heard this sound.

Beside him, Qi Wan’Er, frowning, murmured, "This sound is so deep, just like the chime of the largest clock in the Divine Domain."
