Chapter 157 It’s possible not to soak
"Where do you two want to go? The sixth level is at the Mountain Temple. You are going in the wrong direction."
Mr. Wei stood in front of the guard and looked coldly at the person who wanted to go back.
Although the words did not explain it, the swords in the hands of the guards were obvious.
Wen Wan and Zhou Lingling shrank their necks at the same time, changed their faces instantly, and put on awkward smiles.
"Ah, yes, yes, we went in the wrong direction, we should go up the mountain."
Wen Wan turned around, tugged on Zhou Lingling's arm, and motioned for him to follow.
Zhou Lingling's whole body was stiff, and she reluctantly stepped onto the steps up the mountain with Wen Wan's pull.
The winding mountain road leads to the mountain temple halfway up the mountain. At intervals along the way, there are guards with swords guarding it.
The euphemistic name is to protect the safety of participants, but in fact it is to prevent participants from escaping.
Since we can't escape, we can only move forward.
Wen Wan lowered her voice and asked: "Ling Ling, do you have any birthmarks on your body?"
"Birthmark?" Although she didn't understand why Wen Wan asked this suddenly, Zhou Lingling still thought about it carefully.
After a moment, his eyes lit up and he said, "Yes. There is a butterfly-shaped red spot on my calf."
After a pause, he asked doubtfully: "Why do you ask this?"
She glanced at him Wenwan, "Just in case you need it."
She just said this lightly, and then pretended to dust off her shoes and secretly pinched her calf.
At the critical moment, she didn't dare to be careless. She was really cruel and pinched herself until she almost lost her breath.
Zhou Lingling on the side saw her action. She was stunned at first, and then her expression was hard to describe.
"You want to use the pinched red marks to disguise the birthmark? But it is not sure whether the person with the birthmark can pass the next level. What if the person without the birthmark is the correct answer?"
Wen Wan stood up, her eyes red with pain, "Who do you think I am doing this for? Isn't this just to be able to meet your standards so that I can be taken care of?"
Zhou Lingling thought about it carefully and understood her intention.
He looked touched and said, "Sister Xiaowan! You are such a good person."
The gentleness of mentioning the "good guy card": "..."
There is no need to be so moved.

The sun was shining brightly, and the mountain temple halfway up the mountain was shrouded in the scorching sun. Even the row of poplar trees at the door looked listless.
Neither Wen Wan nor Zhou Lingling were martial arts students. After climbing up from the foot of the mountain, they were exhausted and panting.
When the two of them arrived in front of the temple, they sat down on the stone steps without caring about other people's eyes.
Before their buttocks were warm from sitting, the master from Qintianjian walked over and threw two signs in front of them.
The number plate is written on the sign, Wen Wan's is nine, and Zhou Lingling's is ten.
Qin Tianjian and the other two glanced at their large painted faces mixed with gray and white with disgust.
"There is a hot spring pool behind the mountain temple. Men and women can bathe and change clothes by themselves. In half an hour, Master Li will personally receive you in the front yard."
Bath?
Wen Wan and Zhou Lingling looked at each other.
Zhou Lingling gave her a thumbs up and took off her clothes to check if there were any birthmarks? Wen Wan guessed it again.
Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth, pointed to the sky, and asked in a low voice: "Little master, are you going to take a bath in a hot spring on this hot day? Aren't you afraid of us suffering from heat stroke?"
No one seemed to have asked this question, and the young master was suddenly confused by the question.
The people who had passed the first five levels before arriving did not dare to ask any more questions. They took the sign and went to the backyard. This was the first person to ask this question.
The young master of Qintianjian looked very embarrassed. They just wanted to ask someone to take off their clothes for inspection, but they didn't think of this problem. Seeing that it was almost impossible to make it work, the little master was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Wen Wan became more and more sure of her guess.
Fortunately, Wen Wan was just testing the situation a little and had no intention of breaking out right now.
After all, she and Zhou Lingling were both powerless, so they couldn't use brute force and could only get out of trouble by outsmarting them.
"Hey, it just so happens that we are all weak, so we might as well soak in the hot springs to get wet."
Wen Wan pulled Zhou Lingling up and walked back.
The young master breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The guards not far away had already held down the handle of the knife at their waists, and upon seeing this, they released their hands one after another.

Natural hot springs can dispel dampness and dispel cold. If it is not summer, Wenwan would still be interested.
The pool was filled with mist, and there were three women who arrived before Wen Wan. At the moment, the three of them were soaking in the pool, but there was no communication at all.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
The three of them put as much distance between themselves as possible, occupying three corners of the pool respectively. However, even though they were far apart, it did not affect the undercurrent of competition among the women.
Wenwan can be seen at a glance.
These three people appear calm on the surface, but in fact they are secretly competing with each other.
She puffed up her chest, the other one pretended to twist her waist inadvertently, and the other stretched her legs, revealing her white and smooth thighs.
Fortunately, Wen Wan is a woman. If it were a man, who could resist this temptation?
The corners of Wen Wan's mouth twitched and she looked down at her figure. She really didn't have the courage to take off her clothes in front of strangers.
"Girl, hurry up and get into the water. The time will come soon."
The maid leading the way behind reminded him in a low voice.
She responded softly, her eyes turning rapidly, and suddenly, her eyes lit up, she strode to the edge of the pool, rolled up her trousers, just in time to remove the red spot she had twisted out.
She smiled dryly and said: "I am weak. If I go to the hot springs in this weather, I might faint. The doctor said that everything should be done step by step. I thought that just soaking my feet would be enough."
The maid didn't react at all, and the expressions of the other three women in the pool changed.
They were soaking their whole bodies, and she was soaking her feet on the side?
Her foot-washing water, which they use for bathing?
Seeing that the three women were glaring at her fiercely, they looked like they would kill her with their eyes if she dared to put their smelly feet in there.
Seeing this, Wen Wan took her foot back angrily.
She looked back at the maid who was leading the way, "How about I stop taking a dip in this hot spring? How disgusting it would be to let a few sisters take a dip in my foot-washing water."
Perhaps he had never seen such a frank girl. The maid who led the way suppressed her smile and looked back at the nanny at the door.
Grandma nodded almost imperceptibly.
The maid then replied: "Okay. This hot spring is for our Wei family to sympathize with everyone's hard work of climbing the mountain, so we let everyone relieve their fatigue. Since the girl doesn't want to take a bath, it doesn't matter."
So just a moment after Wen Wan entered the hot spring, she was led out of the hot spring by the maid.
In the pool, the three women looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, all looking confused.
It turns out that bathing in this hot spring is not a must?
So what's the point of them soaking in the hot spring pool on a hot day, breaking out in hot sweat, and almost fainting?
The expressions of the three women were not good-looking, and they immediately stood up and left the pool impatiently.
At this moment, the three of them were a little lucky, thanks to the ugly girl with a pale face coming here, otherwise they didn't know how long they would have to go out.
