The Two Sky Poems
Second stage testing
When he saw that, his trunk wanted to reach him, but failed, so that one eye was stuck in the iron. Blood slowly drips again. And the creature moves more wildly.
Xuan Yi held onto her aching shoulder. He no longer had the strength to fight it, but he was determined to destroy the elephant's body. So as to limp in agony, he picked up a very sharp piece of ice on the floor. “Fucking face, your life ends in my hands now.”
He then dodged and surrounded the elephant's body, while he moved about inappropriately.
When he reached behind him, he aimed at the elephant's ass, then smiled. “I managed to beat you!”
He let go, and managed to stab the elephant's butt quickly and violently. Again the elephant roared and immediately turned around to lung at Xuan Yi.
Xuan Yi smiled. He then rolled to the side, but one leg of the elephant hit his body, sending him bouncing and rolling on the floor several times.
Now, he can't do anything anymore. The ability that Yan Lin had given him had only arrived here. He had not been able to manage Qi energy or anything like that.
Laying on the floor and watching the elephant begin to approach him, he was satisfied to have put up a fight with the elephant. He slowly closed his eyes and was unconscious.

Xuan Yi then woke up. He had been in an ice room with statues of women standing around him.
When she wanted to rush out, When Shu opened the door and gracefully walked over to Xuan Yi.
“Mr daughter, you have passed the first stage exam, now come with me for the second exam.”
Xuan Yi nodded and followed him. He didn't need to ask why, because he was reminded of what When Shu said, that he didn't have to defeat the Beings. Thinking about this made him ask, out of the many people taking the exam, just how many would pass?
After going for a walk to see the beauty of the ice palace, they then arrived at the very large door just like before.
When Shu did not open the door but looked at Xuan Yi. “Mr daughter, how do you feel after taking the first exam?”
“Very difficult and stressful. Is it with such a difficult test, no one is a victim?”
“some victims have fallen when you do the test, and all that is natural.”
“It was terrible. But why is the entrance exam so difficult?”
“You don't need to know. If you have entered our Sect, you will understand.”
When Shu then pushed the door slowly. A second of light then shone from the cracks of the door. Then the light gets brighter and brighter. After it opened, a vast garden lay before Xuan Yi.
Plants with different forms of flowers are seen there. There is a path that separates in the middle. On the right, the various colors of roses grow perfectly and a pink cherry blossom tree that is now blooming bushy grows in the middle.
While on the left, yellow and black roses flourish and yellow Ginkgo trees grow right in the middle, facing each other with cherry trees.
The room was very large with in the middle of the street a statue of a woman sitting on a rock nursing a baby, and underneath it was a small pond.
In the corners of the room, ice pillars stood.
They then went in and stood there. When Shu looked at the scene then asked, “Master princess, do you like this park?”
Xuan Yi's two eyes twinkled as he looked at her. He smelled the fragrant smells of the flowers and looked at the various flying butterflies, with the yellow left and right being colorful.
On the roofs of the rooms are wide open, so that air and sunlight enter.
“Daughter, you were born from the womb of a mother who suffered greatly, right?”
“I don't know too much.”
“You know, your mother suffered a lot, she not only suffered metal, but also physically. The people who previously hated him, had beaten him. The queen mother did the same. He was doused and sometimes in a rough slap.
This is the beginning of your life. But then, Consort Ying Sha helped your mother until you were born and saw how beautiful, amazing the outside world was filled with wonders and colors other than red. Princess, you were born unwanted, and only live because of suffering, your mother suffered because of you, does the princess not feel guilty?”
Xuan Yi thought for a moment.
“If I were you, I was so guilty and avenged.”
What he said made his heart move a little. Her mother suffers because of her, so she must help her mother in her revenge. But he disagrees with feeling guilty. “I won't feel guilty, because my birth was without a plan and it wasn't all my fault, so why do I feel guilty? Revenging my mother is my duty as a child, and I will do so not out of guilt, but out of duty.”
“Are you sure?”
Xuan Yi nodded confidently.
When Shu then looked towards the garden. Slowly the wind hit his face. The ginkgo tree and the yellow rose slowly fell out gently.
Yellow butterflies flying one by one perch on the fallen leaves.
Xuan Yi who was on the left felt astonished. “What is this second stage test?”
When Shu nodded. “Yellow color means sadness and colorful contains happiness. If you choose the right choice, then the yellow leaves and flowers will fall off, but if wrong, then the cherry blossoms and colorful roses will fall.”
Xuan Yi only understood that these flowers had a purpose.
“Mr daughter, then you were born. You are named Su Xuan Yi, which means spring; the season of happiness; the beginning of a story. Maybe your mother gave it because she hoped that with you, a new life will begin and all her suffering will be replaced with happiness.”
“Mother also said like that.”
“After you were born, your mother took you away and gave it to Tong Mu. Have you ever thought who took care of you after your mother's departure?”
Xuan Yi slightly lowered his head to think. He once asked about it, but then forgot about it. It is often after growing up that we ask who has cared for her, who has breastfed her, and who has given us lessons on how to be a good person.
He believed, there was no way that only Tong Mu would teach him like that. His father had taught him that, but he could not do it alone. Means that way, there might be a stepmother who nurtures her.
“Mr daughter, if you have two mothers, which one would you choose?”
Xuan Yi thought again.
“Your mother Su Jiao is indeed your biological mother, but have you ever thought if your mother is very cold and does not seem like you? Has he ever called you gently?”
Xuan Yi agreed.
“Mr daughter, it's possible that this other mother of yours is better than your biological mother. He may love you more and love you more. Which one will you choose?”
Xuan Yi sighed. “While my mother is cold, I will still choose her.”
“Why?”
“Because she gave birth to me. I can't imagine how she gave birth to me and endured the suffering, which I might not have been able to accept.”
They then simultaneously looked at the garden. Butterflies that fly slowly perch on the petals of flowers that have fallen.
Some petals of cherry blossoms and roses are falling.
Xuan Yi was surprised and wondered if his choice was wrong.
