the Profound Flower Sect disciple exam V
"Hm? You're…"
When the young man who used to be a disciple of the Profound Flower Sect's Inner/Cupernal Court stepped onto the second level, Sun Jingjing narrowed her eyes at him, almost as if she recognized him.
"Aren't you Jin Yubo? What are you doing here?" Sun Jingjing said to him, and the man quickly began to panic.
"K-Senior Brother Sun .. I'm flattered that you will remember someone as insignificant as me.." she said to him with an awkward expression.
"Don't call me senior brother, because we're no longer fellow disciples. And if someone has been pissing you off for days, and begging to be his partner, of course, you will remember someone like that." Sun Jingjing spoke with a frown on her face, clearly unhappy with her presence.
"And also, how dare you take this exam and try to become a disciple again after leaving us that day! Do you have no shame? I should have thwarted you here without even letting you have a chance" Sun Jingjing said
"Please don't be like that, senior Sun! I realized my mistake, and I am very sorry to leave the Sect on that day, so I am here to make up for it to the Sect! Even if I were to be used like a slave after that, I wouldn't dare to complain!" Jin Yubo said to her with a face of despair.
However, Sun Jingjing did not even notice her appearance and spoke in a cold voice, "Do you really think I don't know what kind of person you are, Jin Yubo? If my grandfather is not a Sect Elder and the head of the Discipline Force, I'm sure you will force yourself onto me just like you did to many other disciples."
"And I am also sure that your words just now are just empty excuses! The only reason you decided to come back is because of our new reputation."
"I-It's. I.." Jin Yubo gritted his teeth. Every word that came out of Sun Jingjing's mouth was on target.
As the Profound Flower Sect was now one of the most popular and influential Sects in the Eastern Continent, most of all the disciples who had left them must have regretted their decision to leave the Sect every day by now.
In fact, Jin Yubo was not the only idolatry there, as there were many others in the crowd. And also, none of them had the guts to actually take the exam and just watch it from afar. Perhaps they were all waiting for someone – fellow disciples who left the Sect on that day – to appear and take part in the exam to decide whether they should do the same or not.
If Jin Yubo passed the examination and was allowed to become a disciple of the Profound Flower Sect again, they would also take the same opportunity.
"I have plenty of reasons to reject you now, and I'm sure Sect Master won't blame me for that, but I'll let you take the exam. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that someone as bad as you definitely can't resist the Demon Heart Pill." Sun Jingjing suddenly said to him.
"T-Thank you, Senior Sun!" Jin Yubo bowed to him before sitting on the stage.
Meanwhile, the other 29 participants who had witnessed the situation secretly laughed at Jin Yubo's misfortune.
"Now I'm going to start the exam." Sun Jingjing said to them and broke the Demon Heart Pill and spread a red mist.
A few seconds later, the stage was filled with cries of fear, as if a massacre was taking place.
Meanwhile, Sun Jingjing noticed Jin Yubo rolling on the ground while pulling her own hair.
"Since the Profound Flower Sect has grown significantly since you left us, I'm sure your heart is filled with regret, and it makes this test much harder for you." Sun Jingjing shook her head at him. "Your rotten heart would be a miracle if you could pass this test."
Fifteen seconds after the exam, blood started flowing from Jin Yubo's nose.
"Huh?" Sun Jingjing raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, as Jin Yubo had become the first person to be exposed to real damage by the Demon Heart Pill.
Indeed, out of the thousands of people who had taken the second exam, none of them had been hurt by it.
However, as this was Sun Jingjing's first time seeing this, she wasn't sure if she should let it go or move it off the stage before it damaged it any further.
"Armghhhhh!" Twenty seconds after the exam, blood also began to flow from Jin Yubo's eyes and ears.
Just as Sun Jingjing turned around for advice, a shadowy figure appeared beside her and kicked Jin Yubo off the stage.
When Sun Jingjing saw that it was Su Yang who appeared, she looked at her with wide eyes.
A while later, after Jin Yubo calmed down a little, Su Yang spoke, "Although I applauded you for rejecting the Demon Heart Pill to such an extent, even risking your life, he said, you'll be dead in about 3 more seconds if I don't get you off the stage."
"A-What does this mean... I have failed…?" Jin Yubo asked him.
"What do you think? Even if you can remain on stage for 30 seconds, we will not accept the dead as disciples." replied Su Yang.
He then turned to look at the crowd and spoke, "I know that there are some of you among the crowd who used to be disciples of the Profound Flower Sect and wonder if you guys have a chance to return."
"Matriak Liu Lanzhi will not forgive you for leaving the Sect, but I will give you guys a 2nd chance. However, things will not be that simple since you guys have left this Sect once before. Therefore, if you want to return, you must hold the Demon Heart Pill for 90 seconds, not 30 seconds."
