At the sound of this question, the princess was obviously worried.

She even wondered if the question was secretly directed at the two of them.

However, the little tree spirit, Stone, still did not notice. It raised its hand excitedly and was eager to answer the question.

Nevertheless, Mike covered its mouth again.

The little tree spirit, Stone, looked back at Mike. This time, it did not have any doubts. Instead, it showed an expectant look.

Obviously, it had realized that it was about to give the wrong answer again.

‘So close. Fortunately, I have this friend here,’ thought Stone.

However, this time, Mike did not tell it the answer directly.

He was hesitating.

If Mike told it the correct answer, would Stone understand that the two people in front of him who looked completely different from him were two out-and-out liars?

If Stone understood this, what would it think?

Would it be very surprised or very, very sad…

Thinking of this, Mike suddenly felt a little stunned.

His first reaction was not to leave this place but to consider the feelings of the little tree spirit.

He did not like this side of himself, but this was the most sincere reaction from Mike’s heart.

‘Listen, Mike, this is just a game,’ Mike said to himself in his heart.

He took a deep breath and then said to the little tree spirit word by word,

“You shouldn’t trust them so easily, even if they have the Tree Spirit Village pass, because the fact that they look different from you is already a problem.”

When Mike said these words, he was observing the little tree spirit, Stone’s, expression.

He was worried that Stone would be stunned.

However, he thought too much.

Stone did not realize that something was fishy, instead, it quickly handed over the answer provided by Mike.

“I will not easily believe them, because they look different from me!”

Stone said this without the slightest hesitation, which made the princess completely relieved.

The old voice was silent again.

This silence made the little tree spirit, Stone, feel very expectant.

It hoped that it passed the test.

However, in the princess and Mike’s view, this silence was very difficult to endure.

They were a little worried that this mysterious old voice was familiar with their current situation.

They were worried that this old voice would tell Stone that the two guys behind you were scammers.

However, the old voice did not do so.

It slowly said,

“No matter what, you answered correctly. I should give you the right to leave the Tree Spirit Village.

“But, my child, I hope that you can remember today’s questions in your heart. This will allow you to protect yourself well in your future life.”

Little tree spirit, Stone, nodded excitedly. It turned to look at Mike and the princess.

“Did you hear that? We’ve succeeded. We can go and see the outside world!”

The princess was also affected by Stone’s emotions. She was a little excited.

She could finally go home.

However, Mike just smiled and did not seem overjoyed.

These questions made him feel very uncomfortable.

A simple-minded race wanted to leave the village and see the outside world. In order to do that, they had to go through some tests, which was very reasonable in Mike’s perspective.

However, Mike thought that the test would be something like a battle.

After all, these tree spirits would definitely face a battle when they went outside.

What he did not expect was that.

In the Tree Spirit Village’s test, human lies were more dangerous than fighting, the lies were deadlier, and needed more vigilance.

Mike even felt a little confused.
