Jing Changle found it strange from the beginning—why were they absent?
He was familiar with the process of testing one's spirit, as Aunt Bei would often test both him and Luo Yirui. This process certainly didn't involve drinking talismanic water.
"Why do I need to drink talismanic water?" Jing Changle calmly looked up and asked.
Sun Zhancheng frowned, "To test the strength of one's spirit, it's natural to drink it. What's wrong? Have you been tested before?"
Jing Changle remained unfazed, "No, Aunt Fei was worried I wouldn't know what to do, so she thoroughly explained the testing process to me."
Sun Zhancheng squinted his eyes, muttering to himself about unnecessary concerns, then said, "You are the pride of the Peng Pavilion, so naturally you can't be tested the usual way. Do you not trust me, pride of the pavilion?"
Jing Changle's lips slightly curled, "Indeed, why should I trust you?"
