The senior had previously said that she had to pass the assessment before she could have a chance to answer the question. As long as she answered the question correctly, not only could she leave here safe and sound, but she could even get the treasure he mentioned.
On the contrary, there is still no way to go back.
"Senior, please ask."
However, what happened next was beyond Mu Zhiqing's expectation.
She originally thought this would be a question to test herself, but she didn't expect that the senior actually told a story.
There once was a general who galloped on the battlefield and killed the enemy bravely. He became a victorious general in the eyes of all the people, and he was always victorious.
He has a beloved girl who is a princess.
He fought bravely to kill the enemy and defend his family and country in order to protect her and to be able to match her.
The princess also fell in love with him. Originally, this was supposed to be a happy ending, but the final situation was just as Mu Zhiqing expected...
Throughout the ages, many generals have become a thorn in the emperor's side because of their fame and great achievements.
At first, he was regarded as a minister to protect the territory, but after the war, he wished he could disappear.
When the general returned to court after a great victory, he wanted to use his military exploits to marry his beloved princess, but the emperor betrothed the princess to someone else in front of him.
He was restricted everywhere, as if he was completely isolated, and even his loyal men were targeted, trying to make them all disappear from this world.
He had conquered this world for the emperor, but after that he destroyed it with his own hands.
He can make him sit back and relax and dominate the world, or he can make him completely defeated and lose everything!
Therefore, he took over the world with his own hands.
Life is ruined.
He changed from the all-conquering savior in the mouth of the people to a real devil. In the end, until the girl he loved committed suicide, he was left with nothing but sadness in his life...
After Mu Zhiqing heard this story, her mood became very complicated.
Such stories are not unfamiliar to her, but those who have truly experienced all this must be extremely desperate.
At this moment, she finally understood why this senior always showed an indifferent look, as if he was playful and ridiculing everything in the world.
He also took it seriously, but God played the biggest joke on him.
All the past events have become a joke.
All those struggles and efforts, the days and nights of missing her, the persistence and belief in galloping on the battlefield, all turned into the most ridiculous joke.
"You said... did I do something wrong?"
Even when he asked this question, the man still had a meaningless look on his face, as if what he was talking about was not him at all.
Mu Zhiqing looked at the man in front of her. She was almost certain that he had asked this question to more than one person for so long, and he should have heard all the answers.
However, the fact that he was still asking proved that he did not get the answer he wanted.
"Senior, can you ask a question before answering?"
Mu Zhiqing raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her, with a trace of curiosity and uncertainty in her clear eyes.
"Ask me a question?"
The man was a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect Mu Zhiqing to ask him.
"You ask."
"Was the princess forced to kill herself or did she choose to kill herself?"
Mu Zhiqing stared at the man in front of her. She felt that the most critical question was here.
"She committed suicide, and when I went there I only saw her body."
The man's voice was tainted with a hint of heaviness, no longer as indifferent as before, and there was still a hint of sadness.
