Alex stared at the woman in the painting, unable to believe his eyes. This was because he was very familiar with the woman’ s appearance in the painting, especially during this recent period. He was familiar with her various expressions and demeanor: abashed, excited, tired, lazy, and even more private state.
He was familiar with every inch of the woman‘s skin. The woman in the painting was none other than Ynes, the former saintly maiden of Yorkshire Palace on whose body he had recently used countless vital energy pills!
“Ynes had an affair with Zechariah?”
“Not… Very likely, isn’t it?”
Alex heard Ynes say she was adopted by the master since childhood, and has lived in the Yorkshire Palace as long as she could remember. How could she possibly be a thief?
The woman in the painting, on the other hand, was eerily lifelike. She was almost exactly the same as Ynes.
”Could the person in the painting have anything to do with Ynes?”
Alex was intrigued by this current illusion when he thought about it this way, if this illusion was truly a replica of a certain experience that had truly existed, then he should be able to figure out the true identity of this female thief in the painting…
In fact, Ynes was still very concerned about her own life. She was curious as to why she had been abandoned as a child.
Were her parents having such a hard time, or did they dislike her?
If it was the former, she was curious about what happened back then!
Returning to one’s roots was a fundamental thought everyone would have, and Ynes had similar thoughts… Alex had an epiphany, the woman in the painting shouldn’t be a silent and ordinary person if she was to be recorded by the Sky Stairs and used as the first step’s test topic.
”Does it have an immortal cultivator?”
“It can’t be Ynes’s daughter, can it? ”
After all, if someone so similar wasn’t a twin, only a mother and daughter could have such magical kinship.
So, what was it?
Jade, Dorothy, and others were worried about Alex. He suddenly stepped into the first step, and as if his entire body had been paused, he was frozen in place, immobile. His posture was very odd. He had the appearance of rushing upward, which was a little comical, but he was thinking fearfully.
“What’s the matter with him? What exactly is going on?” Jade asked Lorelei.
Lorelei focused her attention on the Sky Stairs’ boundary, which had been opened by Alex, and said, “Do not be concerned, this is normal. I have not had time to carefully explain the steps of the Sky Stairs. Each level is a test. This test is a bit strange, though. It is experiencing a real person who once existed, his dilemma. As long as you pass through that dilemma, there will be unexpected surprises, even if you successfully break through the barrier. While entering the second level, there will be an unexpected surprise.”
The crowd was taken aback by the presence of such a test.
Surprisingly unexpected surprises, which were somewhat expected?
Gilbert asked, “If the test is not passed, will there be a punishment?”
