Hearing his sister-in-law's complaints, Zu Anxin thought that even this inexperienced girl knew this, which shows how difficult the Chu family's situation is now.
These people appeared together. It seemed that they were not afraid that the Chu family would know about their relationship. It could even be said that they deliberately sent a signal to the outside world to let them choose sides as soon as possible.
Sang Hong looks like a skinny old man, and with the goatee on his chin, he looks much older than his actual age. I heard that he is a famous and capable minister in the court. He used to be able to handle ten times what a normal person can handle every day.
Official documents.
Although the person looks a bit older, his eyes are very bright and he looks particularly energetic, and his whole person has an inexplicable aura.
But Zu An couldn't help but shake his head, acting like a programmer who is getting old before he gets old. 996 is really not necessary.
In comparison, his son Sang Qian was much better. He stood there with high spirits. Although he was not as eye-catching as Xie Xiu and Shi Kun, his killing and decisive military temperament still attracted many little girls.
Screaming.
But soon more women’s attention turned to Shi Kun:
"Brother Shi, Brother Shi~"
"Brother Kun, I love you~"
"Wow, he's so handsome, I'm going to faint."
…
Zu An rolled his eyes. Is this guy Shi Kun an orangutan? Every time he appears, he attracts people to watch.
He patted Pei Mianman next to him: "Hey, can you be honest, is that guy really that handsome? I don't think he is as handsome as me."
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Pei Mianman's lips raised slightly.
"Of course it's a lie!" Zu An said confidently.
Pei Mianman chuckled: "You are really interesting."
On the side, Chu Huai looked at the two of them strangely, wondering why he always felt that something was wrong between them.
At this time, Zu An's expression suddenly froze because he received a series of anger points in the background:
The anger value from Qiao Xueying is +99+99+99+99...
Zu An was startled. What's going on? That girl Xue'er is nearby?
Thinking of the fierceness with which the other party wanted to kill him, Zu An hurriedly searched everywhere. It would be really troublesome for her to surprise him while hiding in the dark.
However, he couldn't understand why Xue'er dared to come to this place. You must know that the school grounds are now filled with big shots from the entire Mingyue City. They can be said to be as many masters as clouds. There are not only as many fifth-grade dogs as there are people walking around on the ground, but also
There are eighth-grade beings like Chu Zhongtian and Prefect Sang Hong. I heard that Principal Jiang is also eighth-grade. How dare she, a fifth-grade spy, come here?
After all, no matter how bad Sang Hong and the Chu family are, they still respect each other on the surface. If there is a traitor and spy in the Chu family, they will definitely help in public.
After looking around for a while but not finding Xue'er, Zu An suddenly felt something in his heart and hurriedly looked next to Shi Kun. Sure enough, he noticed a pretty boy among the people behind him glaring at him.
"Are you wearing a mask?" Combined with the anger level backstage and the familiar look in her eyes, Zu An was already sure that she was Xue'er. Of course, she didn't just change into a man's attire and pretend to be someone else like those brain-dead costume dramas.
I can't recognize him anymore. His face is completely different from before. He must be wearing a mask or something.
This mask is actually magical. If he hadn't been able to determine the other person's real name through the keyboard, he wouldn't have been able to tell that he was wearing a mask.
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly asked Pei Mianman on the side: "Miss Pei, is there any disguise technique in this world?"
"Disguise?" Pei Mianman was stunned, wondering why he suddenly asked this, but still replied, "Yes, some powerful rune masters can make some masks to change their appearance."
"Is it possible to disguise yourself as whoever you want?" Zu An asked hurriedly.
"As far as I know, it's not possible." Pei Mianman shook his head. "There are practitioners everywhere in this world, and they all have very vicious eyes. It's okay for you to disguise yourself as someone you don't know. If you disguise yourself as someone
It's easy to spot flaws in someone you know well. Of course, the world is such a big place, and it's not impossible that there is such a miraculous ability somewhere."
"I feel relieved now." Zu An breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei Mianman asked curiously: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Zu An replied smoothly: "I just suddenly thought that if someone used a mask to pretend to be my handsome face to deceive the little girl, wouldn't it ruin my reputation?"
Pei Mianman: "..."
Chu Huizhao: "..."
At this time, Xue'er seemed to be aware of his gaze and hurriedly looked away, obviously not wanting to be exposed here.
Zu An was not in a hurry to expose her. Looking at Shi Kun on the stage who looked like a handsome young man, he sneered secretly: It turns out that you are the mastermind behind the scenes. It seems that my previous guess was indeed correct, so let's have fun.
Before, Shi Kun and others were hiding in the dark and targeting him, making him extremely passive. Now that the other party didn't know that he already knew about it, he was hiding in the dark. It was Shi's turn to be passive.
"Wrath from Wu Qing +33!"
Suddenly receiving another anger point, Zu An was immediately happy. He didn't expect that I was so popular. These people rushed to give me gifts.
He noticed that Wu Qing was following a middle-aged man staring at him. He was too lazy to deal with the little girl's emotions. Instead, he focused on the middle-aged man she was following. With the aura of his clothes, he must have
That one is Wu Wei, the Duke of Yangquan next door.
He and Chu Zhongtian chatted happily in the stands, acting like old friends. Zu An lamented that these guys were all old bastards.
While Wu Wei and Chu Zhongtian were exchanging greetings, Sang Hong came to where the Zheng family was. Zheng Yutang and Zheng Dan stood up early to greet them.
"Okay, okay~" Sang Hong looked at Zheng Dan, his future daughter-in-law, and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. Regardless of appearance or etiquette, she was indeed impeccable. Although her family background was a little worse, the Sang family didn't want to leave.
The way to marry into a wealthy family.
Hearing the compliment from her future father-in-law, Zheng Daner's cheeks fainted and she looked even more delicate and dignified.
Soon everyone took their seats. Sang Hong took the main seat on the stage. On the left and right were Xie Yi, the Lord of Mingyue City, and Jiang Luofu, the principal of Mingyue College. The three of them were the referees of this competition and had a transcendent status.
Chu Zhongtian and Wu Wei sat opposite each other. Obviously both sides knew who their real opponent was this time.
Next are the heads of the Yuan family, the Zheng family, and the Wang family. Shi Kun can also sit among them as a junior, which shows the aloof status of the Shi family.
"I heard that you offended the Sixth Young Master of the Shi Family?" Pei Mianman smiled while looking at the stage. Obviously, what happened in the academy before could not be hidden from her eyes and ears.
Zu An snorted: "What do you mean I offended him? It was obviously him who offended me!"
"Whatever you say," Pei Mianman rolled his eyes, "but as an ally, I remind you that you can't afford to offend the Shi family. Take the old man behind him as an example. He is a tribute to the Shi family. Shi Kun
Protector Shi Lezhi, with an eighth-level cultivation, it would be as easy to crush you to death than to crush an ant."
"Eighth grade?" Zu An was startled, "Is eighth grade so worthless now? Eighth grade can't be granted the title of duke or marquis, or how can a county governor like Sang Hong be reduced to a prince?
A young man working as a personal bodyguard?"
Pei Mianman explained: "Those who can be granted the title of Duke are generally the eighth-grade high-ranking governors, while those who can be granted the title of marquis are inferior. There are also some other official positions, which are only the eighth-grade preliminary, but they are not
It means that you can get these official positions when you reach the eighth rank. There are only so many official positions in total, and countless people are jealous. Whether you can get it in the end depends on your abilities, opportunities, the power of the family behind you, etc."
"It is common for some masters to waste their entire life without getting the official position they want. Generally speaking, the younger they are and the more promising they are, the easier it is for them to get these official positions. Only those who are as old as Shi Lezhi are in trouble.
Since there is no potential to break through to the eighth level, it is naturally difficult to get a suitable position. It is better to work in the family and get better pay."
"However, his lack of potential is only at the eighth level. For low-level practitioners like you, he is still unmatched."
Zu An nodded slightly and roughly understood what was going on. Just like in the previous life, if you won the imperial examination, you can theoretically be an official. However, there are countless people in the world who are waiting to be appointed to the imperial examination. Some
A person may wait until death without finding a real job.
On the contrary, it would be much better if you can get Jinshi. Compared with Juren, Jinshi is better and has greater potential.
It seems that this Shi Lezhi is also a guy with mediocre qualifications among that group of people and was eliminated in the competition. However, he is only relatively mediocre. Looking at the world, someone who can cultivate to the eighth level is considered a genius.
For the first time, Zu An felt the fierce and cruel competition in the world of cultivation. Even those who cultivated to the eighth level were only losers.
But he suddenly realized what he was worried about for others. Even at the eighth level, even at the elementary level, he could crush me to death with one finger.
Just then someone came over and called him. Apparently all the contestants had to wait in an area in advance.
Pei Mianman smiled slightly: "Come on, I think you can win."
The two of them had fought each other in person that night, and she knew that the young man in front of her was definitely not as useless as the public thought, and he might become a blockbuster today.
"It seems you have a good sense." Zu An praised.
Pei Mianman: "..."
Chu on the side gave up and said with a pout: "Sister Pei, I will participate in the competition later, why don't you bless me?" Pei Mianman smiled slightly: "Sister Xiaozhao won, even more so.
Enough said."
Chu Huai frowned, always feeling that her words of blessing him were a bit perfunctory, but she was not so sincere to her brother-in-law. Is this woman trying to hook up with her brother-in-law?
Hum, I must tell my sister!
But when she thought about her sister's attitude towards Zheng Dan, she hesitated. She felt that her sister didn't care about her brother-in-law at all, so she might as well help check it herself.
The two came to the waiting area and saw Yuan Wendong opposite from a distance. Worried that he would not be fooled, they deliberately said loudly: "Yuan, I am not afraid to tell you in advance. I will be the last one to show up later. We have agreed to arrange a fight.
Whoever doesn’t come will be the grandson!”
Yuan Wendong: "..."
The anger value from Yuan Wendong is +666!
Yuan Wendong's face turned red. No matter how fierce the fight between the big families was, they still adhered to etiquette on the surface. To curse like a common man in the street was beyond his usual understanding.
In front of so many important people, although he was angry, he did not dare to scold him back. He said coldly: "Okay, I will learn from my ancestor's clever tricks when the time comes!"
At the same time, I secretly vowed that if I don’t completely destroy you later, my surname will not be Yuan!
