Chapter 379 Dancing with the Ancients

Qin Feng and his partners are looking forward to the next time and space adventure. Although the last adventure was a bit unexpected, they did not back down, but were full of curiosity about the upcoming new challenges.

"We must be fully prepared this time. Who knows what strange things may happen." Qin Feng reminded everyone while checking the equipment.

Chu Tian nodded in agreement: "The bronze giant axe king was indeed powerful last time. We might meet a stronger opponent this time."

"Everyone, remember to bring food and water, this expedition may be longer." Ye Li said as she packed her backpack.

"Also, don't forget to bring medicine." Zhang Meng waved his new weapon - a gleaming heavy axe, looking confident.

"Medicine is necessary, but Zhang Meng, shouldn't you bring a few Band-Aids? You fell pretty hard last time." Qin Feng couldn't help but teased.

"Hey! That was an accident, an accident!" Zhang Meng scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

After sufficient preparation, Qin Feng and his companions came to the old banyan tree in the southeast corner of the academy again. This time, the teleportation array on the ground had been repaired and was flashing with strange light.

"We must be careful this time and prepare for the worst." Qin Feng said seriously.

"Understood!" the others answered in unison.

Qin Feng carefully placed the spirit stone into the center of the teleportation array. In an instant, the teleportation array emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful energy sucked them in.

After the light faded, Qin Feng and his companions found themselves in an ancient luxurious hall. The hall was brightly lit, with ribbons and lanterns hanging all around, and the air was filled with the aroma of delicious food.

"What is this place?" Zhang Meng asked in surprise, "Is it an ancient royal palace?"

"It looks like a celebration or a banquet." Ye Li observed the decorations around.

"Everyone be careful and don't get discovered." Qin Feng reminded in a low voice.

At this moment, an old man in a gorgeous robe came over and said to them with a smile on his face: "Welcome! You are the legendary time traveler, right? Take a seat quickly, the banquet will begin soon!"

Qin Feng and his friends looked at each other. Although they were confused, they couldn't refuse, so they had to sit down.

After the banquet began, Qin Feng and his friends were surprised to find that these ancient people seemed very friendly to them, and people kept coming forward to toast and invite them to dance.

"Hey! Little brother, do you want to dance with me?" A tall general invited Zhang Meng.

"Dancing? Me? No, no, no, I'm not very good at dancing." Zhang Meng waved his hands awkwardly and refused repeatedly.

"Don't worry, this is our tradition here! Come on, I'll teach you!" The general laughed and pulled Zhang Meng to the dance floor.

"Oh my god, this guy was actually dragged to dance!" Chu Tian was stunned.

"I bet he jumps like a gorilla." Ye Li couldn't help laughing.

Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene: "Okay, everyone relax, this may not be a place for a fight."

But his relaxation did not last long. A woman in gorgeous palace clothes walked up to him and said with a smile: "Sir, would you please dance with me?"

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment and wanted to refuse, but when he saw the other party's expectant eyes, he felt embarrassed to refuse and could only nod in agreement.

As soon as he entered the dance floor, he felt the atmosphere was a little subtle. The ancients danced very gracefully, while Qin Feng was obviously a little clumsy.

"Left foot, right foot, then turn around..." the woman in palace dress instructed softly.

"Uh...is that so?" Qin Feng tried to keep up with the rhythm, but he soon stepped on his own foot.

Chu Tian and Ye Li, who were standing next to them, covered their mouths and giggled, while Zhang Meng, on the other side, was dizzy because of the general's spinning.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed for a moment, then returned to normal. But this short moment of dimming made everyone stop.

"What's going on?" Qin Feng asked puzzledly.

Suddenly, a voice came from above the hall: "Welcome fellow time travelers, I am the guardian of this era, Master Ancient Mirror."

Qin Feng and his companions looked up and saw an old man in strange clothes standing on the high platform of the hall, holding an ancient mirror that was shining with light in his hand.

"You come here to accept my test." Master Gu Jing said, his voice filled with unquestionable majesty.

"What test?" Qin Feng asked loudly.

Master Gu Jing smiled and said, "This is a test of 'Dance of Sincerity'. You need to express your sincerity through dance. Only by passing the test can you continue your journey through time and space."

"Dance of True Heart? What is this?" Chu Tian was confused.

"It looks like we have to dance." Ye Li said with a smile.

"This is terrible. My dancing skills can only be described as terrible." Zhang Meng scratched his head, looking a little nervous.

"Okay, don't worry, we just need to try our best to express our true feelings." Qin Feng encouraged everyone.

"Then let's give it a try!" Ye Li nodded and began to lead everyone into the dance floor.

On the dance floor, everyone started dancing to the music. Qin Feng tried to dance to his own rhythm, but it was obviously a bit clumsy. Chu Tian tried to amuse everyone with some funny moves, which made everyone around him laugh.

Zhang Meng was the funniest, he completely abandoned the original rhythm and started to do some strange movements, such as imitating the dance of a chicken or the crawling of a dog. Every time he made a new move, people around him would laugh.

"Are you sure you are not trying to make people laugh by dancing like this?" Master Gu Jing couldn't help laughing on the podium.

"This is our true heart!" Chu Tian answered loudly.

Ye Li maintained her graceful dance posture. Although she was a little cautious, her movements were full of sincerity and concentration.

"Very good, keep your sincerity." Master Gu Jing nodded in praise.

Everyone gradually got into the mood, and although their movements were different, they all put their emotions into it. There was constant laughter on the dance floor, as if everyone was infected by this happy atmosphere.

Just when everyone was dancing happily, the Master of Ancient Mirror suddenly raised the ancient mirror in his hand high up, and the ancient mirror emitted a dazzling light that enveloped the entire dance floor.

Qin Feng and the others only felt their eyes light up, and then they heard the voice of Master Gu Jing: "Congratulations, you have passed my test. Sincerity is the most important thing no matter when and where."

When the light gradually faded, Qin Feng and his companions found themselves back under the old banyan tree. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, so this test is dancing!" Chu Tian laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. "That's so funny!"

"It seems that we do have some talent for dancing." Zhang Meng patted Qin Feng on the shoulder, "Especially me, I dance just like... uh, a gorilla."

Qin Feng smiled and shook his head: "Although it's a bit funny, I think this experience is very special."

"That's right, at least we have learned to relax and enjoy the present moment." Ye Li also said with a smile.

"What will the next time and space adventure be?" Chu Tian asked excitedly.

"Who knows, but we must be prepared." Qin Feng replied with a smile on his face.

Everyone looked at each other. Although they didn't know what would happen in the future, they all knew that no matter what the road ahead was, they would face it together.

As the night deepened, tranquility returned to the ground under the old banyan tree. Moonlight sprinkled on the ground, as if illuminating the way forward for them.
