Chapter 29: 29 So... Failed
"Gu Aman failed the grade examination for the servant in black."

When the waiter in black with an iron mask read out the results, Gu Aman only felt a throbbing pain in her heart, and her eyes were sour and hot like needle pricks.

Gu Aman knelt on the ground on one knee, as if suddenly abandoned by the gods.

She didn't dare to look up at Liu Yuan's face.

She was stuck on the fifth case. If it was the sixth case, she could justify saying that time was too tight, but those two numbers separated the gap between her and the servant in black like heaven.

I thought I could.

But it turns out you can't.

The basalt stones under her feet were laughing ironically at her overreaching.

Under the iron face, Wei Yanqing curled her lips at Liu Shaoshi who was sitting in the master's seat, signaling him that enough is enough.

He clapped his hands, and a waiter in black carried three boxes.

"Because of the recommendation of my colleagues, I will give it a special try."

What do you mean?
Gu Aman raised his head.

The speaking waiter in black pointed to the three boxes in front of him.

three boxes.

A box contained the list of key monitoring personnel recorded by the black prison.

A box contains everything in the world.

The last box is the lightest, and it contains the identity you finally chose for yourself.

"Use a specific identity to obtain a special object from a specific person."

Gu Aman said, "Can I understand this?"

The waiter in black nodded. This seems to be a very hasty assessment, but if you really think so, it is a big mistake.

It's like what he drew in the past was only a trivial thing, but it required him to devote himself to his official career, and it took him several years to barely touch it.

What kind of status, what kind of circle can be contacted.

It was rare for Wei Yanqing to kindly explain to her the hardships involved, but Di Ting upstairs's name hung directly above her head like a sharp knife hanging from a thread, and she couldn't allow her to hesitate at all.

clap clap.

Three pieces of paper lined up.

The waiter in black looked at the note in silence for a moment, then set it on fire.

Gu Aman got up to leave, but stopped suddenly before leaving the door. She silently looked back at the dark color in the depths of the prison, and the dancing fire light fell on the silhouette of the man flickering and dimming, making the tall man It seems more and more out of reach.

"no time limit?"

Wei Yanqing nodded subconsciously, feeling that something was wrong, and continued to say mysteriously, "Ten days, or a year."

So Wei Yanqing suddenly smiled when he saw the person who was kneeling on one knee just now and was about to cry in frustration.

"I see."

she said so.

Then he left completely and never looked back.

Wei Yanqing was a little puzzled, "I know what she said, what is it referring to?"

He looked back at Liu Yuan, "Where did you find the great master, who speaks all over the place, can you really complete this level of assessment questions?"

Liu Yuan pressed the center of his eyebrows, the right servant who was always angry at the court, the elder Ge's footsteps, was also very noisy in private.

"Probably because I know you're stupid."

How could there be no time limit for newcomers to assess qualifications such as black-clothed servants? If there is no time limit, it can only mean that this is a question for high-level black-clothed servants.

Now she probably knows that this topic is deliberately set up for her.

I don't know why I hate myself.

And he should go where he should go.

"Where are you going?"

Wei Yanqing chased after him, "I brought wine today, come with me."

Liu Yuan didn't speak and didn't stop, he was still walking forward slowly, neither fast nor slow, but just like the person who left just now, he didn't look back from beginning to end.

Wei Yanqing already liked his weird loneliness and living in solitude, so he stretched out his pocket wine jug happily, took a sip of hot wine, and then suddenly remembered that today is the seventh day.

Di Ting Lou received the rankings on the [-]th, and those who failed in the task got three knives and six holes.

Wei Yanqing smacked the drink in his mouth, suddenly feeling a bit dull.

He suddenly remembered the figure on the execution ground kneeling in front of the executioner's knife with his robe raised, "I would like to guarantee it with my head."

And this was just to save a former nobleman who had nothing to do with him, and they hadn't even met him before.

"It's time to collect the corpse today."

Wei Yanqing shook her head unhappily, but went to the front to chase after him.

Gu Aman's eyelids twitched violently. After so many days without end, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow, but only halfway through, she sat up startled like sleepwalking.

With her eyes closed, she reached out and touched the other half of the empty pillow. Under Liu Yuan's surprised gaze, she smiled strangely, wrapped her arms around the quilt and buried herself in the bed contentedly.

"Restless little thing."

The half-asleep person propped his forehead and looked wearily at the people around him. Almost the moment Gu Aman sat up, he spread his arms as usual, waiting for her to roll into his arms with the quilt.

It must have been a sweet dream.

Liu Yuan stretched out his hand to poke the corner of her upturned mouth, and the bloody bandaged wound on the waist, abdomen, and ribs seemed to be less painful.
