Chapter 258: God Doesn’t Play Dice?

Everyone passed the second round of the language test. Of course, this everyone no longer included Qi Muhuan.

Ke Xun tested his pulse and found that he was still alive. However, Ke Xun couldnt determine if sealing Qi Muhuans mouth was merely a punishment or if it would eventually lead to his death.
