After Qin Chen entered the inheritance passage, You Qianxue suddenly appeared in a cave.
“Chen!”
As soon as You Qianxue landed, she anxiously looked around, her heart sinking because she did not see Qin Chen's figure in the cave.
Impossible!
You Qianxue was very clear that if Qin Chen had arrived at the cave first, he would definitely be waiting for her here and would not leave first.
She was extremely confident about this, because if it were her, she would also wait for Qin Chen here and not leave first.
But where did Qin Chen go now? Could it be that he encountered some situation?
You Qianxue waited here for a moment but found that Dao Wang Mu Zhi Feng did not appear with her either.
“Could it be that although that futon is a transmission array, it can send people to different places?”
Combining the situations of Qin Chen and Dao Wang Mu Zhi Feng, You Qianxue instantly had some guesses.
Thinking of this, You Qianxue walked toward the depths of the cave. After a while, she arrived at the innermost part of the cave. Just as she entered, rumbling sounds echoed, and two passage entrances opened on both sides of the cave. The cold voice resonated, reaching You Qianxue's ears.
“Inheritance and trial?”
You Qianxue looked at the passages on both sides, frowning.
So it seems that Young Master Chen has entered this passage?
From what she knew about Qin Chen, she could be certain that the passage he entered must be the inheritance passage. After all, Qin Chen was an alchemist and could not be interested in trials. If this was the relic of an ancient alchemy master, obtaining this person's inheritance would greatly help Qin Chen's skills in alchemy.
So, if she wanted to meet Qin Chen, she would also have to choose the inheritance passage?
However, You Qianxue was very clear that if the ancient alchemy master set up these two passages to find a successor, then the trial side would definitely test the skills of an alchemist, and she was not an alchemist, which would definitely be dangerous. Only by taking the trial passage would it be safer and not cause trouble for Qin Chen.
But, taking the trial passage would mean missing out on Qin Chen.
You Qianxue hesitated for a moment.
“No way!”
She hesitated for just a moment before immediately becoming clear again.
“I clearly entered two different caves than Chen. Because if everyone entered the same cave, Chen would definitely be here waiting for me, and Dao Wang Mu Zhi Feng would also follow closely behind me, since I was teleported down right after Chen. Even if Chen accidentally activated these two passages, there would still be ten breaths of time to consider, and my teleportation time was less than three breaths away from Chen.”
“So, each of us should have entered a completely new cave. Perhaps this ancient alchemy master set it up this way to prevent us from influencing each other.”
“If that's the case, even if I choose the inheritance passage, according to this ancient alchemy master's design, we wouldn’t be able to meet.”
“It must be like this.”
You Qianxue's eyes flashed, and she instantly understood the sequence of events.
It must be said that You Qianxue was an extremely intelligent person. When she was following Qin Chen, she had developed a dependency, so she often didn't want to think too much. But once she encountered danger and was alone, she became very clear-minded.
Back when Qin Chen 'fell' in the Ancient Yu Realm, she was brought into the hidden realm of the Miao Palace, it was the same.
And now, it was the same.
Whoosh!
Without any hesitation, You Qianxue directly chose the trial passage. Since she and Qin Chen could not meet in the inheritance passage, it didn't matter how she chose. After all, she was not interested in the alchemist's inheritance and would rather choose a path without danger, so as not to trouble Qin Chen.
On the other side, Dao Wang Mu Zhi Feng encountered a similar situation.
He was also mature and steady, with rich experience. After sensing that he could not detect Qin Chen's aura upon entering the cave, he knew that he and his master had been separated and were in different spaces. Since that was the case, he did not hesitate and directly chose the trial passage.
