Chapter 571: Chapter 563 This Little God is Even More Arrogant than Me
Dai Rong went off somewhere, but Qin Liuxi didn’t bother with her; however, unnoticed, she left a trace of Telekinesis on her and then called out the merit girl.
“Who are you? Where is your home? Do you remember?”
The merit girl had a round face, around fourteen or fifteen, with round eyes as well, round and plump overall. But when Qin Liuxi questioned her, she just blinked, not speaking, appearing somewhat foolish.
Qin Liuxi frowned, a thought crossed her mind, and she looked closely, only to find that the girl’s soul was incomplete. A person has three souls and seven spirits, but she was missing one soul and one spirit.
Qin Liuxi felt a headache and a sense of trouble, she sighed: “Missing one soul and one spirit, but this soul is so pure and spirited, and carries such a thick Merit Golden Light, how many good deeds have you done in your past lives?”
She put the merit girl back into the Soul Nourishing Bottle, remembered what day it was today, and hurried out, taking Teng Zhao with her – she wanted to see the top scholar parade.
As soon as the master and apprentice stepped out, they were blocked by someone.
“Finally caught you, you little god stick made me wait for so long.”
Mu Xi, clad in red, with two dark circles under her eyes, rushed in front of Qin Liuxi, looking at her with a grievous expression.
Qin Liuxi took two steps back and looked him over, how did this Little Overlord end up here?
“Don’t pretend you don’t know me, it hasn’t even been half a year yet,” Mu Xi shrieked.
Qin Liuxi dug at her ears: “I can hear you, you can lower your voice. Why are you here?”
“Of course, to wait for you, you little god stick are so unkind. Why didn’t you come to find me when you arrived in the Imperial City?” Mu Xi was not pleased.
“Why should I look for you? We are not familiar,” she said, bemused.
Mu Xi was furious: “!”
So many people want to connect with me, yet you say we’re not familiar?
Qin Liuxi ignored his wounded little gaze and headed towards the left street. After watching the top scorer’s parade, she still had to give Madam Lin another acupuncture session, unsure if Lin Xiang would be able to bring her the Jiao Pearl. Otherwise, she’d genuinely have to make use of those bottles of Jade Snow Skin.
Mu Xi saw her leaving and suddenly became anxious, blocking her: “Where are you going?”
“Don’t block the way, if I miss the top scorer parade, I won’t let you off,” she said. She heard that this year had many young scholars, and she wanted to appreciate the elegance of scholars.
Upon hearing her plans, Mu Xi scoffed: “Where are you planning to watch? Today, after the palace exam announces the top scorer, the parade route, and those pubs and eateries had their spots booked a month ago. You won’t get a good spot.”
Qin Liuxi uttered an “oh,” why spend silver on booking a spot? Wasn’t that just wasting money?
Mu Xi continued: “But it’s different for me. The best spot in the center belongs to my family’s property, a separate private room, which we have plenty of.”
So, better ask me quickly; I can take you to fly.
“Then you should get going,” Qin Liuxi waved her hand and continued forward.
Mu Xi was somewhat bewildered and followed up, saying: “Don’t you want to watch the parade? Don’t you want a good spot?”
“Just a spot, there are plenty.” She was too poor to afford booking such private rooms.
Mu Xi: “?”
An hour later.
Mu Xi, with wobbly legs, squatted on the rooftop next to Qin Liuxi, watching her. The spot was good indeed, but one could easily break into pieces from a fall.
“Actually, it would be nice to go to the elegant room in my house. There are refreshments and food, and it’s close by, guaranteeing you a clear view,” Mu Xi said stiffly, really, there’s no need to be eating the wind here.
Qin Liuxi glanced at him: “So young and already having eye troubles, how pitiful.”
Mu Xi: “…”
He endured it.
This is probably the only thing in the world more arrogant than him—an evil star.
Qin Liuxi stood up. The spot she chose had a uniquely beautiful view, allowing a sight of the direction of the Imperial City as well as the radiating housing patterns along the Imperial City.
At that time, it was the beginning of chen hour, the sun had risen, and the soft morning light fell on the dome of the Imperial Palace, casting a dazzling golden glow, which reflected splendidly against the purple-gold auspicious energy above the palace, truly spectacular and eye-catching.
The Dragon Qi was like a rainbow, subtly circling above the palace, signifying the Qi Fortune of the Da Feng Dynasty.
Qin Liuxi pulled up Teng Zhao, who was sitting cross-legged on the roof practicing the small cycle, and had him open his Heavenly Eye to observe the Qi, and also to comment on the Feng Shui layout of the Imperial City.
Listening to the master and disciple’s question and answer, Mu Xi felt completely dumbfounded. So it turns out, watching the top scorer’s parade was just incidental, teaching was the main event. It was he, the playboy, who had underrated the situation.
Mu Xi, feeling like a dejected puppy, squatted there, pitifully.
The guards not far away, staring attentively here, seeing this scene, inexplicably felt their young heir very pitiful, like licking his wounds, unbearable to behold.
Suddenly, with a loud gong sound, there was activity coming from the Imperial Palace.
“Here it comes.” Qin Liuxi crouched down again, and conveniently pulled out a bag of sunflower seeds from her bosom.
Mu Xi glanced at it, thinking that she was indeed well-prepared, but I can be even more so, and he called out, “Quansheng.”
A guard immediately responded, lightly tapped his toes, and quickly came over.
His heart was also falling apart. Just watch the parade, why do we have to squat on the roof?
Qin Liuxi looked over, and Mu Xi proudly said: “To watch the parade, merely looking is meaningless; Quansheng has compiled information on this year’s scholars, let him narrate later.”
Qin Liuxi, after hearing this, finally gave him an approving look, the kid’s not bad.
Mu Xi proudly puffed out his chest.
Quansheng silently shifted his gaze; at this moment, his little master was like a poodle seeking its owner’s favor, nearly sticking his head out to be patted.
With the sound of gongs and drums, even from a great distance, Qin Liuxi could hear the roar of cheers and women’s shrieks.
Mu Xi lacked enthusiasm, such a spectacle occurred once every three years, and there would be another chance to watch during the grace examination, really nothing special, at most to see who the top scorer is and who the handsome third placer is.
But since Qin Liuxi wanted to watch, he came.
“Here they come, here they come.” Quansheng saw the leading top scorer and began: “This year’s Top Scholar is a talent from Jiangnan, Wei Sheng, styled Mingyu, from a poor family background, twenty-two this year, his mentor is Grand Scholar Tang. Right, this Wei Zhuangyuan is engaged to Grand Scholar Tang’s legitimate granddaughter, the wedding is tomorrow.”
Qin Liuxi focused her gaze on that Wei Zhuangyuan, surrounded by Golden Fortune Energy, his face was square without losing handsomeness and refined elegance, Ziwei Star entering the official position, a future full of bright prospects.
“The second place is from Jin City of Shanxi, it is said he has attempted the examination sixteen times, and is now of the age of 60 years, probably will not serve in office.” Quansheng continued, “The third placer is our Shengjing native, from Meng the Scholar’s house, known as Meng Yulang, Meng Guangyu, the first of the second-class is from the Jiang Family, Jiang Wenyuan, the fifth is Mr. Wen Yuan from the Changchuan Marquis Mansion, who is reputed for his virtue and excels in painting beauties, particularly lifelike on porcelain…”
Qin Liuxi raised an eyebrow, looking over at Cheng Wenyuan, her lips curled into a cold smile, truly deep in sin, she could smell that rotten soul from a distance, and she slightly turned her head, her gaze sharpened.
Dai Rong was actually floating among the crowd, as if sensing Qin Liuxi’s gaze, he looked up.
