Lin Yi blinked as he looked at Qiqi arranging the fish bones, sinking into his memories … Back when he was young, his master had come up with a question like this to train his memory and observation skills-putting the fish bones back after eating was a test every year, too.

However, all of this had become part of Lin Yi’s memory, forever. His master had left, and he didn’t know where she went. As for the fish bones, Lin Yi didn’t go and place them one by one anymore. One reason was that Lin Yi didn’t need to train his memory and observation skills like this anymore. Two, Lin Yi was gradually stepping onto the path of a practitioner, leaving the days of being a killer …

Lin Yi was filled with emotions as he looked at Qiqi, as if he was back in his childhood …

Lin Yi wasn’t surprised that Qiqi knew how to do this-she was from that assassin organization, after all, and this sort of training should be pretty common. It was just that she wasn’t that familiar with it, and it seemed like it’d been years since she last did it.

Qiqi was focused on putting the bones together-it wasn’t just Lin Yi, but she felt like she’d returned to her childhood as well. It was normal for people to reminisce when they were in despair, and it was the same for her.

Before she knew it, half an hour had passed. Qiqi used to only need a couple of minutes to piece a set of fish bones together, but things were different now. Sometimes, she needed half a day to piece one together.

Qiqi picked up a fish bone, put it down, and picked it up again. She wasn’t sure what to do-this was a similar fish bone, one on the back and belly of the fish, and the length and thickness were about the same. She frowned and started thinking.

After a while, Qiqi finally put her hand down and placed the bone on the fish’s stomach.

“This is a Fishbone on the back of a fish. I’ve told you the difference many times, but why can’t you remember it?” Lin Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at Qiqi’s actions, but he realized that something was wrong after he finished!

The person in front of him was yang Qiqi, not his childhood playmate, yang Xiaoxiao … His master’s daughter, yang Xiaoxiao, used to mess up this fish bone too, and Lin Yi had to correct her every time.

“Ah?” Qiqi froze, her eyes a little dazed. She raised her head and realized that it was Lin Yi! In that moment, she even thought that Lin Yi was the same person,”What did you just say?”

“Nothing, I said you misspelled it. This fish bone should be here.” Lin Yi said, pointing at the fish’s back.

“How did you know?” Qiqi was confused-she was too caught up in her own memories to hear what Lin Yi said, or maybe she was hallucinating.

“I also tried.” Lin Yi said.

“Oh … Thank you …” Qiqi put the bone back on the back of the fish.”I didn’t expect you to do such a boring thing.”

“Are you bored …” Lin Yi was considering if he should tell her that he was from that assassin group as well. He wasn’t familiar with Qiqi before, but they’d met so many times, and this time, they were friends in need. Lin Yi didn’t have to worry about her character. This girl was a bit of an ingrate, but she wasn’t one to blabber and go around telling people.

Plus, he was planning on going to the island where he trained after the test was over to visit yang Xiaoxiao and xiaojiu.

But Lin Yi didn’t know if he’d be able to get out of this test yet, and he wasn’t in the mood to talk about it. “Fish bones can train one’s memory and observation.”

“Eh? You were an assassin before?” Qiqi blinked.

“Every cultivator is actually an assassin. In the world of cultivators, today’s friend may be tomorrow’s enemy. If you don’t have a keen intuition, I’m afraid you won’t even know how you died!” “It’s just like how you’re kind enough to save someone, but that person wants to kill you instead,”Lin Yi said with a smile.

“You … Lin Yi, why are you still talking about this? I already said I won’t kill you!” Qiqi’s face was red, very embarrassed.

“I’m just giving an example, not you!” Lin Yi said innocently.

“I didn’t say that.” Qiqi denied.

“Hehe.” Lin Yi smiled.

“What are you laughing at?” Qiqi asked.

“Nothing. I just feel that you look like a friend of mine from the past.” Lin Yi was just telling the truth-he had an illusion that Qiqi was his childhood friend, yang Xiaoxiao, but it was just an instinct.

After all, it’d been so many years, and Lin Yi didn’t even remember what yang Xiaoxiao looked like. The Yang Xiaoxiao right now should be training hard, preparing to inherit her father’s former King of Assassins position! It was impossible for him to risk his life to enter the cultivation world and participate in some trial.

Although both of them were surnamed yang, many of the disciples of this generation were orphans. After they graduated, they followed their master’s surname, yang, so this was not surprising.

“Your excuse for hitting on me is really poor.” Qiqi rolled her eyes at Lin Yi, her voice weak.

“How is this flirting? I know you, okay?” “I’m telling the truth. You don’t think that I’m trying to pursue you, do you?”

“That’s hard to say. There’s only the two of us left here. If we really can’t get out, if you don’t chase me, who do you chase? There aren’t even any spirit beasts here!” Qiqi was just joking-it was too boring here, after all, and she’d accepted Lin Yi already, so she didn’t have any hostility towards him anymore.

“Hehe, I really can’t get out, so I’ll consider it.” Lin Yi said.

“No, I already have a Prince Charming in my heart. I’d rather die than submit.” Qiqi said.

“Then haven’t you heard of the Overlord forcing himself on the bow?” Lin Yi asked.

“If you’re not afraid that I’ll kill you, then do as you wish.” Qiqi said.

“Haha …” Lin Yi smiled and looked at the sky. It was already night.”Rest. I should start cultivating too.”

“En …” Qiqi didn’t hesitate and lay down on the ground, ready to sleep. She wasn’t on guard against Lin Yi-with his strength, it was impossible for him to do anything to her. It was just like what Lin Yi said-he could force himself on her.

Fifteen days was indeed the best time to leave the trial. This was the dividing line! (To be continued.)
