Sharing the same senses as A-Qing, Wei WuXian also felt the pins and needles pricking his scalp. Despite this, the young maiden bravely searched her way forward in a calm, ordinary manner. When the tip of the sword was half an inch away from her stomach, Xue Yang took it away and put it backbinto his sleeve. Exchanging it with two pieces of candy, he gave one to AQing and tossed the other one into his own mouth.

"God! That's scared me." said MianMian.

"I really thought he would really kill him." said Nie Huaisang.

"He really did though." said Meng Yao.

He asked, “A-Qing, where’s that daozhang of yours gone to in the middle of the night?”

A-Qing licked and munched on the candy, “I think he went hunting.”

Xue Yang tittered, “Hunting? More like night-hunting.”

A-Qing, “Oh really? The two are pretty much the same. What’s the difference? It’s just helping other people fight ghosts and beasts without receiving any money.”

"Is she testing him?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"Maybe, that's clever of her." said Wei Wuxian.

Wei WuXian was truly amazed by how clever she was.

It wasn’t that A-Qing couldn’t remember what Xiao XingChen said to her. In fact, she remembered it better than anyone. She said “night-hunt” wrong on purpose. Since Xue Yang corrected her, in a way, he confirmed that he was also a cultivator. Xue Yang’s test failed and was instead tested by her. The maiden was only so young, yet she already had such tactics.

"Can we keep her? I want her to be my sister." Nie Huaisang said to his brother.

"I'm not fond of maiden." said Nie Mingjue.

"No wonder you're single." he mumbled which didn't escape Nie Mingjue's ears making him glare at him.

Although Xue Yang looked scornful, his voice sounded confused, “He’s blind already. How can he night-hunt?”

"Are you discriminating me?" asked Xiao Xingchen.

"Maybe." said Xue Yang with a scoffed making Song Lan glare at him.

A-Qing raged, “You’re at it again. What’s wrong with being blind? Even if Daozhang’s blind, he’s still really cool. His sword’s like whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. One word: fast.” As she was prancing around, Xue Yang suddenly asked, “You can’t see, so how do you know his sword is fast?”

The opponent was quick, but her defense was quicker. A-Qing replied in an outraged voice, “It’s fast because I say so. Daozhang’s sword must be fast! It’s true that I can’t see, but can’t I listen? Just what are you trying to say? Do you discriminate against blind people like us?” She behaved exactly like a naive girl who was bragging about the person she admired. It sounded as natural as can be.

"If that was me, I would have cower already." said a female cultivator.

"She's brave for a young maiden." said Lan Xichen.

Xue Yang was watching the screen with a keen interest while smiling creepily at the girl.

"I hope you're not planning to do something that will harm her." said Wei Wuxian.

Now that she passed all three of his tests, Xue Yang’s expression finally relaxed. It was likely that he finally believed that A-Qing was indeed blind.
