Although they have never seen a ladder as grand as the Pinglan Star Academy before, they are no strangers to this type of assessment. The Dragon Star Academy, ranked fifth among the Aristocratic Star Academy, has a ladder specifically designed to test the will of monks.

, there are restrictions on it, and people walking on it feel like their feet are tied, and they must use great strength to move their feet.

The candidate who took the lead estimated that the restrictions on the ladder in front of him would be stronger. As the first person to eat the crab, he deliberately showed off his ability and directly used 30% of his star power to lift his feet.

Unexpectedly, there were no restrictions on the ladder. He was caught off guard and used too much force. He turned somersault and flew out on the spot.

The monks from the aristocratic families following him didn't know what was going on. They were worried that there was a trap on the ladder, so they stopped in a hurry. For a while, no one dared to go up.

At this moment, a clean and peaceful voice sounded behind them: "Please give way."

The monks from the aristocratic family subconsciously turned around and saw a girl standing there with black dirt on her face and a faint sour smell on her body. They immediately covered their noses and stepped aside to make way.

Lan Zhi then successfully stepped onto the ladder to heaven.

Everyone saw her walking up step by step, walking easily and briskly without any abnormality. They finally felt relieved and followed her up one after another.

As Lan Zhi walked, he suddenly noticed that the scene around him had changed.

The sunlight disappeared, the ladder disappeared, and the monks following her disappeared. She was walking alone on the dimly lit road. Many people whose faces could not be seen walked towards her on the road, and then passed her by.

passed, and finally disappeared.

Is this an illusion?

Lan Zhi paused for a moment, and saw an old woman in the crowd walking towards her. She was hunched over, her eyes were cloudy, and she had two deep nasolabial folds on her thin face, which made her look a bit mean.

Seemingly aware of her gaze, the old nanny walked towards her and asked her through gritted teeth: "Why did you curse me to death?! If it wasn't for you to curse me to death, I wouldn't have died!"

Lan Zhi was startled for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this was the old woman who had taken care of her before she was eight years old.

Before her star pulse test at the age of eight, she was like a weed in the Tianyi family. As long as she didn't bump into those people, no one would care about her no matter what she did.

Except this old grandma.

The old grandma actually didn't care about her. She usually just delivered a meal or some extra clothes to her little shabby house on time, so that she wouldn't starve to death or die of cold.

After knowing that she secretly went to the school, the old nanny turned a blind eye. At most, she warned her one or two words to prevent her from being discovered, that's all.

Then one day, the old grandma suddenly fell down and passed out in front of her.

She was so frightened that she ran to the back of the small house and pulled out a piece of grass that was said to be healing, and boiled it in a small broken pot, hoping to cure the old woman.

But it was inconvenient for the old woman to lie down, so she decided to move him up first.

Before her hand could be reached, the old woman woke up on her own. She was startled and blurted out: "So you're not dead yet?!"

The old grandma got up, glanced at her coldly, and left.

That was the last time she and her old grandma met and the last time they spoke.

Later she found out that her old grandma died on the day she returned.

Similarly, she only found out later that the old nanny was already the best person to her in the Tianyi family.

For a long time after that, she couldn't help but wonder, was it because she said those words that seemed like a curse that the old nanny died? Was it because she didn't feed the old nanny that bowl of medicinal soup?
