Inheritance trial part 1
"Ahem! This one is called Xun Ying, the world's genius, one with another world's knowledge, the one who is summoned by Eververse's will, a messenger from another world, etc."

"Hahaha! I like this kid." Qing Long broke the silence.
"Green snake, I don't want to agree with you, just this once I do," said Zhu Que as he smiled.
"This kid could fit in so well with us, eh?!" said Bai Hu.
From his tone, you can tell that he liked Xun Ying, but just doesn't want to say it.
Author (whispers): tsundere
"A good kid. A good seed. " said Xuan Wu smiling.
Author: It's funny seeing how they act like an elderly even though right now they are no different from baby mammals. But I guess because Xun Ying is still an infant, it doesn't really matter…
"Anyways, now you have gained the right to participate in the inheritance round. May the goddess of luck be with you and help you pass the test to become one of our members, even if you don't pass we will ensure your safety." Xuan Wu said as he pushes his glasses up.
"This one doesn't know about the others, but this one personally liked you, so this one hopes you pass and become our little sis, so good luck!"
"I have a good feeling about you, may you pass the test." Zhu Que said in agreement.
"Humph, prove that you are worthy to be one of ours." Bai Hu said looking straight at Xun Ying.
"So what is the test about?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Erm…"
"...Seriously? Useless."
"..."
"It has been so long since this one can remember, young lass you have been the first one to enter since the past centuries, the participants are either trapped in the illusion spell or stupid enough to not even realize that there is an illusion spell."
"..."
{Pft! Ahahahaha!!! Stupid! Gahahaha!}
[Baobao...if you don't stop laughing, I'm gonna kill you.]
{Ahaha okay aha okay BaoBao will stop… haha hahaha...ahem..cough cough}
[*Death glare*]
Qing Long coughs to get Xun Ying's attention, "Anyways, here are the directions for inheritance trial. Ahem.
Go where the altar led
Where the newborn was held
To the statues, you will ask
"To whom shall have the truth unmask?"
The truth would lead you to your desire."
Zhu Que continues.
"To the origin of my birth
You'll hear the devil's mirth
You'll see an unusual guest
But fear not for it'll be just a test
You just need to try your best."
Bai Hu followed along.
"Then to the Wintersweet Forest, you'll be,
The lights of the fairies you'll see.
The sweet temptation they'll give
Don't be mislead but see their real motive
Evil creatures, they truly are
Give in and on the soul, it'll leave a scar
No one had yet to come this far
Let's see if you have the skills or a lucky star."
Xuan Wu finishes it off.
"To the peach forest where the last part will be held...
A case you will judge
An angel and a demon would dwell
To which, the demon will hold a grudge
Judge is now you for the previous is on a holiday.
Anyways...
'For revenge', the demon would say
The two would speak but not the whole truth
it is up to you to say, but don't be lead astray.
This case you will judge will determine your fate."
"Phew! Well, good luck kid, because you are going to need it." Zhu Que said.
"And now your trial will begin!" Qing Long said before vanishing with the others.
[...they are acting cool aren't they?]
{Agreed.}
[Hey, Baobao?]
{What?}
[When did you have an update? When did you grow taller and more mature?!]
{When the cubs are talking about the quest, I updated myself.}
[I see, how convenient, don't have to worry about updating you, eh?]
{...You just wanted to be lazy.}
[Wow~ you know me so well~]
{...Stupid idiot}
[Huh? What did you say?]
{Nothing. Anyways the trial had already begun let's go.}
"Go where the altar led, where the newborn was held, hm. Let's see, in Latin, it means high just like the baby was held up high when they are born… The altar is like a table for prayers to God for food and wine...sacrifices… Wait! God! Newborn! With statues! Altars! High! Yes! I got the answer! To the temple, we will go."
"Congrats for guessing the right place, we will now transport you there."
With a flash, Xun Ying arrived in front of a statue of the Greek goddess Aletheia or also called Veritas in Roman.
"So next up, question time. Ahem. Goddess of Truth, to whom shall have the truth unmask?"
Then the statue spoked. "You, yourself shall uncover the truth that lies within yourself. Find the inner and release the lies. Though truth shall you be respected truly, with nothing to hide. Although it may hurt sometimes, it is better than procrastinating with the temporary lies. Remember my words and you'll go far."
"...now that was easy. Now how do we get to the next part?"
{They said that the truth would lead you to your desires.}
Soon after 5 different colored buttons appeared in front of Xun Ying. Red labeled luck, Yellow labeled fortune, Green labeled peace, Blue labeled tranquil, and the Purple labeled ambition.
[Baobao, what should I do?]
{Choose a button.}
[Stop stating the obvious, what should I do? There is no 'lazy' button, nor a 'salted fish' button nor the 'others' option button.]
{...}
[Hello? Baobao you still working?!]
{Nope, Baobao is going off work, bye-bye.}
[Hey!]
{*Silence*}
[Baobao?]
{*Silence*}
[Che! Unreliable system.]
"Besides being lazy… luck...Nah. Fortune? Nope, my family is rich enough, though I don't mind having more money. Peace. Who cares about peace anyways? There are always going to be war/arguments. Tranquil. Hm. Ambition… does being lazy count? Maybe protecting the family does… Blue or purple? I like purple a little bit more than blue… so"
Xun Ying pressed the purple button.
"You have made your choice, are you sure you want to select this choice?"
"Yeah, Yeah. Next."
"...According to the truth scale, the purple one does match, you have passed the test of truth. Since you have broken the record on completing this challenge before the previous ones had complete, I'll give you a hint for the next part. The next part is the test of courage, to fight against your inner demon."
