Chapter 69: Passing Level 3
At this moment, inside the Shadow Hall.
Gan Luo has been at the checkpoint for a day.
Lin Fengmian was worried about whether Gan Luo was...
Lin Fengmian was about to rush in, but unexpectedly, the leader of the Shadow Hall stopped him.
"Do you know that doing this will only backfire?"
The Shadow Hall Master's tone was extremely cold.
In fact, the Shadow Hall Master was somewhat disappointed in Lin Fengmian.
After all, why would this top-tier Shadow Guard of the Shadow Hall be so swayed by a woman...?
Lin Fengmian turned his head and saw the expression on the face of the Shadow Hall Master.
I never expected that the Shadow Hall Master would be disappointed in him.
"I have treated you like my own son. You have been by my side since you were five years old. Have you forgotten all the training I have given you and the things I have taught you to do all these years?"
Lin Fengmian understood what the Shadow Hall Master meant.
"But have you forgotten? A shadow guard only serves one master in his lifetime. When the master dies, the shadow guard dies."
"Who told you that shadow guards must be buried alive with their master when he dies?"
"But in the hearts of my subordinates, Her Highness the Princess is their heaven. If there were no Princess in this world, what would be the meaning of my existence?"
...The leader of the Shadow Hall truly believed that Lin Fengmian was bewitched.
The leader of the Shadow Hall was exasperated and turned to Lin Fengmian, telling him to go back to his room and reflect on his mistakes.
"You are not allowed to come out today or tomorrow. Afterwards, go and copy all the rules of the Shadow Hall. Not a single word can be wrong."
Lin Fengmian could sense that the Shadow Hall Master was somewhat disappointed in him.
However, there are some things that Lin Fengmian cannot control.
Although Gan Luo was indeed cold, he was also gentle.
Recalling the scene of Gan Luo applying medicine to him...
Lin Fengmian hoped that Gan Luo would be alright.
If anything were to happen to Gan Luo, Lin Fengmian would regret it for the rest of his life.
If Lin Fengmian had been able to intercept Gan Luo, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Lin Fengmian was filled with mixed emotions.
He copied the rules of the Shadow Hall but kept making mistakes in writing them.
On the other side, the leader of the Shadow Hall stood outside.
Another shadow guard stood next to him.
The shadow guard's eyes held a hint of coldness, devoid of any emotion.
Even when looking at the Shadow Guard, the leader of the Shadow Hall, there was no thought in his eyes.
The leader of the Shadow Hall looked up at the shadow guard.
"Why can't Lin Fengmian be as indifferent as you?"
Why couldn't Lin Fengmian be heartless?
If I had known this would happen, I should have been even harsher on Lin Fengmian in the past.
Perhaps this is why Lin Fengmian feels some panic.
However, it will be of some help to them.
At this moment, Gan Luo was conquering the third level.
Gan Luo felt that this third level was like a puzzle.
No matter which way I go, I feel like I'm going around in circles.
However, there were occasional traps and mechanisms that severely depleted Gan Luo's physical strength.
Gan Luo didn't know how much time had passed outside, he only felt a wave of fatigue.
Gan Luo decided to rest here for a while.
Gan Luo then sat there and closed his eyes to rest.
Gan Luo was unaware of what was happening outside, and Lin Fengmian and the others were equally unaware of what was going on inside the princess's residence.
I don't know how much time had passed, but suddenly I heard a rustling sound.
Unexpectedly, a snake appeared in front of Gan Luo, and this snake was extremely long.
Its bright colors indicated that the snake was venomous.
Gan Luo never expected things to turn out this way.
Gan Luo raised his sword and began to slay the snakes.
Unexpectedly, Gan Luo was given a dragon tail swing at this moment.
Gan Luo took a step back, keeping a certain distance from the snake.
According to Ganluo's understanding, the dangerous objects placed here each time are different kinds of creatures.
I wonder what kind of creature Lin Fengmian encountered at that time?
It must be said that the Shadow Hall staff are quite skilled at creating mechanisms.
It's unclear how much time passed, but Gan Luo was already covered in wounds. Fortunately, he managed to deal with the snake.
Gan Luo looked down at the snake and struck at its vital spot, successfully extracting the snake's gall bladder.
This snake gall was a valuable commodity for Gan Luo.
Because Gan Luo needed to replenish his physical strength.
In this situation, if you don't eat something, you definitely won't make it through this final hurdle.
Gan Luo suppressed his nausea and swallowed the snake gall.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
Gan Luo, having lived in the princess's palace since childhood and never experienced hardship, was now facing such a difficult environment. How could Gan Luo not be deeply troubled...
When the third flag fell, the Shadow Hall Master realized that Gan Luo had passed the three trials.
The fact that a woman could pass three trials in a single day truly surprised the leader of the Shadow Hall.
However, the leader of the Shadow Hall was very curious to know whether Gan Luo could get through the fourth level.
If the Shadow Hall Master cannot be appointed, the matter will naturally be terminated.
After all, this level can be stopped.
Gan Luo's influence is too great; how could the leader of the Shadow Hall possibly challenge him with the fate of the nation?
If anything happens to Gan Luo, this country and its people will surely fall into the hands of others...
Therefore, nothing can go wrong with Gan Luo.
Suddenly the sky turned gray, and it looked like it was going to rain.
The leader of the Shadow Hall had his eyes closed.
Raindrops fell on the face of the Shadow Hall Master.
Although the Shadow Hall Master was wearing a mask, he could still feel the coldness of the rain.
At this moment, someone next to him couldn't help but ask a question.
"Sir, shall we go inside to take shelter from the rain?"
"You may go inside. I would like to take a walk in the rain."
It seems I've been busy with other things all this time and haven't had a proper chance to relax.
But now, walking in the rain, the Shadow Hall Master felt an unprecedented sense of ease.
In a few more years, he should be able to retire.
In truth, he had no desire to be the leader of his own Shadow Hall.
After all, the Shadow Hall Masters of this place have all made one rule.
To be unable to find a good companion throughout one's life means that one can only be alone.
However, once the Shadow Hall Master is no longer the Shadow Hall Master, he can return to a normal life.
Everyone in this world thinks that the leader of the Shadow Hall is very powerful and awe-inspiring.
But only the leader of the Shadow Hall can truly understand how lonely he is.
Then he thought again, who among the strong is not lonely?
Even the emperor, who is high above all others, is lonely.
After all, among those around the emperor, who are truly sincere and who are merely pretending?
It's not visible to the naked eye.
In such cases, one can only rely on one's heart, but emperors are all very suspicious.
As long as someone stirs up trouble here, that person will...
"Ah……"
Rumor has it that the princess and the emperor had a very good relationship.
But being in the royal family, can things really be as the outside world says?
