The other party also returned a salute to Hua Mian, and the generosity of the action made the people who watched feel comfortable, and after seeing her actions, Hua Mian couldn't help but forget what seemed to have been ignored before.

Due to Shen Luyao's involvement, the previous woman did not continue to entangle Huamian, but instead talked to Shen Luyao, and Huamian heard some sporadic information from their conversation, the woman was originally participating with her friend in the first test, and listening to their meaning, the friend had a greater chance of being selected, and the order of appearance in the first test happened to be ranked after Huamian, and when they thought they could enter the second test together, no one thought that a chef would snatch the last place.

Hua Mian said in her heart: No wonder that girl showed obvious hostility towards herself, but she can't be blamed for this, until now she didn't understand what made Mama Li sure that it was her own.

"Ahem...... Ladies and gentlemen—"

The chatter of the girls in the hall was interrupted by a voice from a man in a gray cloak with a hood on his head.

This made Hua Mian a little curious, although the area where the temple is located is not a harem, at least it can be regarded as a link to the harem, and there are actually men who appear...... After thinking about it, this is not the ancient world that I know, and I can't judge it with the information in that history.

"All of you who came to participate in the second test of the Lanqiu Fairy, please follow me to the atrium"

The man said without waiting too long and turned around and walked towards the door at the back of the main hall, several girls who had participated in the second test in previous years knew the next steps, and without waiting for him to say more, they followed him in the same direction.

Hua Mian saw that these people had walked and followed quickly, it turned out that the main hall that he entered first was just an ordinary gate, and after passing through here, he really entered the scope of the temple.

It was an open meadow, and there were no fancy flowers and plants that were common in the palace, just grasses that were so ordinary that they could be seen everywhere and some shrub-like plants, and if there was any difference, the grass was very neat in height, as if it had been specially trimmed.

In the center of the meadow was a tall, luxuriant tree, and Hua Mian looked around and saw that it was not among any of the trees she had seen before, not even in the botanical garden.

The trunk of the tree does not go straight upwards but curves and circles, and from the middle it begins to stretch out with branches and forks until the top, and the crown of the tree is like a huge blooming flower, and from a distance there are white clouds in the trees, which are probably flowers from the tree.

The shape of this tree is really strange, but what surprised Hua Mian the most was that at a height of about ten meters above the ground, there was a bell hanging on a thick branch that grew outward, and this bell was the self-striking bell that Jinyue said, but hanging at such a high place, who could get it to a normal person? You can't touch it, let alone knock it.

Below the bell is a small platform made of wooden planks in front of the root of the tree, which appears to be for only one person to stand on at a time.

"Everyone stands here in four rows, in the order in which I call their names, on the wooden platform under the tree, and whoever hears the bell is the one who has passed the second test."

The man didn't say anything pleasant, as if impatiently urging the girls to stand as they asked.
