Wei Qinglan continued to climb without looking back, and Xiao Ya quickly surpassed her. Qi Changfeng watched the two girls leave, feeling heartbroken.
"You're too weak. If you continue climbing like this, you're risking your life," Wei Qingqing said softly, handing a medicine to Qi Changfeng.
"It can help replenish your energy." Seeing Qi Changfeng not taking it, Wei Qingqing stuffed the medicine into her hand and continued upwards without delay.
Looking at the medicine in her hand and then at the departing figures, Qi Changfeng suddenly felt a great sense of sorrow.
As they continued upwards, a sudden cloud of mist enveloped them, making it impossible for anyone to see where they were or who was around them.
Each person had to rely on their own willpower to complete the rest of the journey.
Wei Qingqing remained silent throughout the journey, remembering her sister's teachings. When she felt tired, she would stop for a while and then continue upwards, pushing herself to persevere no matter how exhausted she was.
Wei Qingqing was on the verge of giving up, feeling the true energy pressing down on her and causing her whole body to ache.
But just then, she suddenly saw what seemed to be an archway not far away.
Suddenly, all the mist dissipated in an instant.
Wei Qingqing looked up and was the first to see Xiao Ya's sharp gaze fixed on her.
Before Wei Qingqing could react, she heard an elder beside her ask, "Child, how old are you?"
"Eight years old."
As soon as she spoke, the crowd was in an uproar. Several people who had been standing next to Xiao Ya immediately turned to envy Wei Qingqing.
"Haha, you are the youngest child to enter the Tianzhu Gate! We thought a nine-year-old child was already a miracle, but we didn't expect to find an eight-year-old girl like you! Excellent, excellent!" The elder in purple clothes, with a long white beard, looked at her with admiration.
She had really been chosen! Wei Qingqing realized it in an instant!
And it was just as her sister had said! Thinking of this, Wei Qingqing quickly looked for her sister's figure in the crowd. Strange, why couldn't she find her sister?
Suddenly, Wei Qingqing's heart tightened. Could it be that her sister had encountered something unexpected on the way?
In an instant, Wei Qingqing looked up and met Xiao Ya's gaze. Xiao Ya's eyes were filled with disdain. She hadn't expected the third daughter of the Wei family to be chosen, let alone steal the limelight as the youngest.
Xiao Ya felt extremely resentful!
At this moment, Wei Qingqing's only thought was, where did her sister go?
Before long, the elder in purple clothes continued to ask, "Little girl, do you have a specific hall you want to enter, or do you want to wait like these children?"
The elder pointed to Xiao Ya and the others, who had not yet chosen a hall and wanted to wait and see.
Wei Qingqing looked up and immediately said, "No need, I choose the Hall of Divine Medicine!"
In an instant, the elder in purple clothes smiled even more brightly!
Excellent!
This child was truly excellent!
Xiao Ya saw that Wei Qingqing had gained the favor of the elder in purple clothes in this way. Although she didn't know who the elder in purple clothes was, she felt extremely uncomfortable!
At this moment, someone walked up beside her. "Congratulations, Elder Huo, for accepting such a child into the Hall of Divine Medicine."
Xiao Ya's heart sank. This elder in purple clothes was the Chief Elder of the Hall of Divine Medicine!
But Elder Huo nodded and smiled, "Little girl, come with me."
With that, Wei Qingqing was the first person Elder Huo took away, while those who wanted to wait and see were left behind.
Xiao Ya's eyes were filled with anger, but she quickly calmed down and looked around.
It seemed that Wei Qinglan had not been chosen. That was great! This meant she still had a chance. As long as she also entered the Hall of Divine Medicine in the future, she would surely gain the favor of Elder Huo with her intelligence, surpassing Wei Qingqing.
Wei Qingqing was not a formidable character, as long as Wei Qinglan was not chosen!
Xiao Ya smiled faintly, and her mood instantly improved.
"Who is this person? How did she know which hall to choose as soon as she arrived?" A woman in red clothes beside her looked at Wei Qingqing leaving with disdain, feeling jealous inside.
Xiao Ya glanced at the woman, noticing the quality of her clothes and the jewelry she wore, which indicated wealth and status. In addition, anyone who could come here must have an extraordinary background!
Xiao Ya immediately walked over. "This is the third daughter of the Divine Physician Family of the Southern Rui Kingdom, the Wei family."
"Do you know her?"
Xiao Ya nodded. "I grew up with the three sisters of the Wei family."
"Are you the one who took the other spot from the Wei family?"
Xiao Ya shook her head with a hint of sadness. "No, it's just that this spot is too precious. Before I left, they drove me out of the Wei family!"
"Huh! The Wei family is really despicable!" The woman in red clothes raised her eyebrows, looking very angry. Her temperament was as fierce and domineering as the clothes she wore.
"What's your name?" the woman in red clothes asked.
"I'm Xiao Ya. General Qi of the Southern Rui Kingdom took pity on me and gave me this spot! My sister looks noble, so she must not look down on me in the future!"
"How is that possible? I, Feng Qi, am not that kind of person!"
Feng Qi? This girl's surname was Feng. Xiao Ya's heart trembled. She was really lucky. In the entire Tianque Continent, only the Northern Ming Kingdom had the surname Feng, and that was the royal surname of the Northern Ming Kingdom!
"Where does my sister want to go?" Immediately, Xiao Ya hurriedly inquired.
Feng Qi raised an eyebrow, "Originally, I wanted to go to the Divine Physician Hall or the Poison Temptation Hall, but since that annoying girl went to the Divine Physician Hall, I'll go to the Poison Temptation Hall!"
"Then I'll go to the Divine Physician Hall. In the future, sister can use poison, and I'll be the doctor. It's a perfect match!"
"Good!" Feng Qi couldn't help but like this girl a little. She didn't know what her identity was, but she was sure that the girl's kindness was genuine.
As a princess born into the royal family and pampered since childhood, Feng Qi had never encountered someone as cunning as Xiao Ya. At this moment, Xiao Ya was taking advantage of the situation.
One by one, people began to come out and make arrangements to choose their respective halls to enter the Tianzhu Gate.
In this Tianzhu Gate's ten-year selection, due to Qi Changfeng's physical exhaustion, he ultimately missed the chance to enter the five halls of the Tianzhu Gate. At this moment, Wei Qinglan's whereabouts were also unknown. Therefore, only six disciples officially entered the halls of the Tianzhu Gate.
Wei Qingqing, Xiao Ya, and Feng Qi, along with three others, were all from the noble families of the Tianque Continent.
At this moment, Xiao Ya did not know that even though she had gained the favor of Feng Qi in this life, her fate in the Tianzhu Gate had already changed.
Even if she eventually entered the Divine Physician Hall as she wished, she was no longer the favorite junior disciple of the chief elder.
Although only six people officially entered the halls, others who performed well were also recruited by the Tianzhu Gate. However, these people had to work hard to be selected step by step from the numerous disciples of the Tianzhu Gate to be recruited into the halls. Qi Changfeng was among these people now.
