The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 357 - 354: The Task That Must Be Completed

Due to encountering an evil omen, Huang Zhijun missed the chance to take part in the Zixiao Palace Exam this time.

She had exhausted all her efforts just to gain admission to school.

After much difficulty, she found out that the Minister of Imperial Sacrificial Worship was a special grandmaster hired by Qingtian Academy, and as long as he recommended her, she could enroll in Qingtian Academy without taking the exam.

That is why she pleaded with Minister Huang, insisting that she must meet with the Minister of Imperial Sacrificial Worship at all costs.

Last time, even though she received treatment from the Minister of Imperial Sacrificial Worship, Huang Zhijun had not met him in person.

She believed that as long as she met the Minister of Imperial Sacrificial Worship, with her martial arts talent, she would surely impress him and get recommended to Qingtian Academy.

Huang Zhijun and her father both fixed their gaze on the entrance of Zhongji Courtyard, as if waiting for something.

Looking at Xin Lin, a mission against heaven had already been issued, and she had no choice but to complete it.

She approached the deaf-mute old Monk.

Since posting the notice, the old Monk sat motionless beside it, as if he were a clay statue.

None of the pilgrims approached him to greet him, and like Huang Zhijun, they all dismissed the old Monk as useless.

Xin Lin wandered near the old Monk for a moment, but he did not budge.

Xin Lin went behind the old Monk and wrote a few words.

The old Monk’s body moved slightly.

A smile emerged on his weathered face.

He picked up a dry twig and wrote a line of words on the ground.

Xin Lin looked intently.

"The way out lies within Zhongji Courtyard."

The words Xin Lin wrote behind the old Monk were, "Master, how can I find my way out of Wanshi Mountain?"

Although the old Monk was both deaf and mute, he was not completely ignorant.

But among so many pilgrims, nobody had given him a second look, let alone asked him how to exit Wanshi Mountain. Xin Lin was the first to ask.

The way out is inside Zhongji Courtyard?

Xin Lin pondered thoughtfully, her eyes scanning the interior of Zhongji Courtyard.

"Dad, did that old Monk tell that little wretch how to get out of Wanshi Mountain?"

Huang Zhijun and her father also noticed the old Monk’s actions, and Huang Zhijun looked surprised.

"How could a deaf-mute Monk possibly know the way out? Only a few people inside Taichang Temple know the secrets of the caves of Wanshi Mountain. Here come the people!"

Minister Huang looked on disdainfully, glancing at the old Monk and Xin Lin.

It was at this moment that several people hurried to the entrance of Zhongji Courtyard.

The leader was none other than Monk Qingyu, who had previously had a conflict with Xin Lin.

"Master Qingyu, you have finally arrived."

Upon seeing Monk Qingyu, Minister Huang hurried forward to pay respects.

"It’s her."

Behind Monk Qingyu, several Martial Monks immediately recognized Xin Lin.

After receiving the hint from the old Monk, Xin Lin held the Ancient Bronze Sword, walking around the courtyard.

Monk Qingyu changed his expression when he saw the old Monk, gesturing to his subordinates not to act rashly.

The origin of the old Monk was unknown to outsiders, but Monk Qingyu was aware.

He was the only servant of the Minister of Imperial Sacrificial Worship, also an old servant brought from the Taichang Holy Institute, the only person in the entire Taichang Temple who could access the Minister of Imperial Sacrificial Worship.

"Minister Huang, Miss Huang, this is the map of Wanshi Mountain. However, once inside the mountain, you must be careful, for there is another universe in Wanshi Mountain called All Living Beings. Once you enter, you must stay focused, or you will be harmed by illusions," said Monk Qingyu in a lowered voice.

Huang Zhijun and her father nodded, about to take the map.

"One more thing, after you enter, find a way to deal with that little girl for me. If not dead, she must be severely injured, otherwise, it won’t quell the hatred in my heart," Monk Qingyu said. He dared not commit murder within Zhongji Courtyard, but if someone else did the deed, that was a different story. He glared fiercely at Xin Lin.
