Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 230: Review

Dusk gathered from all directions, the setting sun like blood, dyeing the white mist outside the Questioning Heart Forest a murky orange-red.

Three days had already passed since the start of the assessment.

Most of the crowd in the plaza had dispersed. Those remaining were mostly the stewards from various peaks who had come to select people, and those menial disciples who were still anxiously waiting for their companions. The previously noisy discussions had long been worn away by the long wait. The air was filled with a weary calm, with only the occasional chirping of insects making the place feel even more desolate.

Suddenly, the perpetually churning Mirage Smoke parted on both sides without any warning.

There was no soaring spiritual light, nor any spectacular phenomena. A gaunt figure simply walked out from the depths of the mist, plain and unremarkable.

Su Ming's face was as pale as paper, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. His gray robe, soaked through with sweat and then dried by his body heat, showed several creases. But his steps were exceptionally steady, each footfall landing with a precision as if measured by a ruler.

He raised his head, his deep, dark eyes sweeping across the plaza. It was a gaze that seemed to have surfaced from the deepest abyss of the sea, carrying a profound pressure and a silence utterly out of place with the surrounding hubbub.

The plaza froze for a moment.

Over at the Repair Hall area, Wang Defa had been leaning against a tree trunk dozing off. He was jolted awake by Zhang Asheng pushing him from the side. Lifting his head and seeing Su Ming, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes immediately reddened. His lips trembled as he was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Qingfeng reaching out a hand beside him.

"Don't rush, look at the elder," Qingfeng said in a low voice.In the distance, Zhao Yin, who had originally thought victory was assured, felt the cold smirk on his face freeze at the corner of his mouth. He stared fixedly at the dull, lusterless white token in Su Ming's hand, his fingernails unconsciously digging into the flesh of his palm. His gaze was so sinister it seemed about to drip with malice.

"He came out? He actually came out alive?"

In the southern corner, Li Kai, who had been sitting cross-legged in quiet meditation, leaned forward almost imperceptibly the moment Su Ming appeared.

His bloodshot eyes locked onto Su Ming like hooks.

As a formation master, he perceived more keenly than ordinary people that the aura around Su Ming, which had originally been somewhat sharp and exposed, was now completely withdrawn, becoming harmonious, obscure, like a stubborn stone sunk to the bottom of a deep pool.
