If you want to be number one in the palace examination, you must at least be in the 'Spiritual Source Realm'.
Four years ago, when Lin Xiaoting came first in the palace examination, he was already at the third level of the Spiritual Source Realm. It is estimated that all the competitors this year are at this level.
In comparison, Li Tianming, who took the palace examination four years ago, was only at the seventh level of the Beast Vein Realm and could barely get into Yanhuang Academy. Tianfu didn't even have to think about it.
Of course, he has made great progress recently, and he still hopes to push forward during the imperial examination.
If we could go directly to Tianfu, we might be able to find out more about my mother's illness.
In that case, those who once regarded him as a joke should be able to see his return!
At this time, Xuechen Pavilion arrived.
In the Xuechen Pavilion, a beautiful lady wearing a golden dress stood inside the door.
She should be forty years old today, but the years have not left the slightest trace on her body. Looking at her snow-white jade skin, which can be broken by a blow, she looks like a teenage girl.
That tall, slender figure is delicate and powerful, well-maintained, and has an aura of nobility and full of charm.
Even if such a woman is walking on the street, anyone can tell that her family is absolutely rich.
"Jinger, it's really you!" When their eyes met, the beautiful woman had quickly walked to Wei Jing's eyes, her eyes were already reddish as she spoke.
"Xiao Lan." After meeting again after twenty years, Wei Jing gently held her hand.
Her own fingers were also trembling slightly, and her eyes were already red.
"Come in and talk later." Mrs. Xuelan pulled her into Xuechen Pavilion and took a seat.
She looked at Wei Jing distressedly and said: "Has the 'small life disaster' on you finally struck? You are only forty years old, but you are already so old. Jing'er, I didn't expect you to have such a hard life.
If you know, go to Lihuo City and take a look."
"I'm used to it." Wei Jing smiled slightly. She was still so calm. She gently pulled Li Tianming and said: "Xiaolan, this is my child 'Li Tianming'. Tianming, I have met Aunt Lan."
"Hello Aunt Lan." Li Tianming saluted respectfully. He was sincerely happy for his mother to find her old friend in Yandu.
"The child is already so old. My Hao'er should be about the same age as him. That's great." Mrs. Xuelan said.
Li Tianming stood aside and listened to their chat.
"Jing'er, you haven't been back for twenty years. This time you are back in Yandu..."
"Li Yanfeng and I are no longer together. I will not go back to Lihuo City. I will stay in Yandu for the rest of my life. I miss this place and you all," Wei Jing said.
"Hey, if you weren't so willful back then..." Xue Lan sighed.
"Xiao Lan, don't talk about what happened back then." Wei Jing shook her head.
Mrs. Xuelan pursed her lips and said: "Okay, so when you come back this time, do you want to go back to Tianfu and let the 'Mansion Master' relieve you of your small life disaster? I guess it is unlikely. It was the Mansion Master who expelled you in the first place.
Out of Tianfu, with his temper, he will never forgive you even if it has been twenty years..."
"No, I didn't come back to save my life." Wei Jing still didn't want to talk about the past. There seemed to be some friction in the communication between them, so Wei Jing went straight to the topic and said: "When I come back this time, I just want to be in Yandu.
I can spend the last period of time with my children in peace, and take a look at you. You are all doing so well. I am very happy and happy for you."
"That's it..." Mrs. Xuelan nodded and said, "Anyway, I respect your choice."
"Xiao Lan, I have one more thing to ask for." Wei Jing looked at her seriously.
"Don't say that. Sisters, since you are back, I will definitely help you to the end." Mrs. Xuelan said.
"If you can, give me a place to live close to the Yanhuang Academy. It doesn't have to be too good, it just needs to be livable. We, mother and son, haven't had a place to stay when we come back this time," Wei Jing said.
"How can that be okay? You can live in Chen Palace. Chen Palace is close to Yanhuang Academy, so I can take care of you." Mrs. Xuelan said.
"It's not appropriate, it's too disturbing to you. I'm about to die, so I'd better be quiet." Wei Jing shook her head.
"Jing'er..." Mrs. Xuelan gritted her teeth, with a look of distress on her face, "Don't worry, I will make arrangements for you right away."
"Thank you Xiaolan."
"By the way, you need to live close to the Yanhuang Academy. Your child has obtained the Yanhuang Order. Does he need to pass the palace examination?" Xue Lan asked.
"Yes."
Mrs. Xuelan looked at Li Tianming and asked, "My child, what level of cultivation have you reached now?"
"Back to Aunt Lan, the seventh level of the beast vein realm."
"It's okay, but the competition in the Yanhuang Academy is particularly fierce this time. At your level, you need to work hard to pass the palace exam and live up to your mother's hopes." Mrs. Xuelan warned.
"I will work hard." Li Tianming nodded.
In any case, she solved her mother's worries for herself, so she should naturally be grateful to her.
But at this moment, a discordant voice came in——
"The seventh level of the beast vein realm, I'm from a remote area. I just want to enter the Yanhuang Academy, but I feel like it's a bit of a dream."
As a young man said this, he walked in from the outside. Several maids immediately took off his training clothes for him, put on his luxurious robes, and then brought him water to wash his face and hands.
"Mom, we have a guest today." The young man is Chen Yao, and he has just returned from performing martial arts.
"Yes, she is my mother's former sister." Xue Lan looked at her little son with eyes full of tenderness and love.
"Sister?" Chen Yao looked up, couldn't help but smile, and said, "You are really interesting. When you were young, you and the old woman were sisters. At this age, she can be your grandmother."
Although this was said as a joke, it didn't sound very nice, and Li Tianming was a little unhappy.
"Yao'er, don't talk nonsense, it's rude." Xue Lan gave him an angry look, but she didn't mean much to blame.
"I'm too lazy to care about you." Chen Yao had already washed up and said, "Send the person away quickly. It's such a poor relative who comes to seek help from others. It's annoying to see it, and it affects my mood to take the imperial examination."
"Okay, I'll hurry up and I won't delay your 'Gujin Tang'." When Mrs. Xuelan spoke to Chen Yao, her face was full of tenderness and love.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Wei Jing again and said with a sweet smile: "Jing'er, I can't help it. This child just won't grow up, and now he still has to make Gujin soup for him. It's expensive and hard to get."
, my hands are all wrinkled, look at it."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and placed it in front of Wei Jing. Those skillful hands were crystal clear. It was obvious that she had never done any housework. They were much better than Wei Jing's hands.
At this moment, Li Tianming saw a lot clearly.
He was originally grateful to Mrs. Xuelan, but at this moment, how could he not understand that this woman was being hypocritical from the beginning to the end.
Especially this move now, putting his shiny fingers in front of Wei Jing, claiming that his hands were wrinkled.
The excitement of such obvious teasing and the calm words between women are sharper than swords.
"No, Xiaolan's hands are still as delicate and beautiful as they were twenty years ago."
Li Tianming originally thought that the sword in Xue Lan's words would make his mother so uncomfortable that she could not speak.
But he didn't expect that she would say this with a smile as if nothing had happened.
After Wei Jing finished speaking, she stood up and said, "Xiao Lan, we have just returned to Yandu and there are still many trivial matters to arrange, so I won't disturb you."
"Why don't you stay a little longer? I'll let my servants prepare a banquet." Mrs. Xuelan said reluctantly.
"No." Wei Jing shook her head.
"Well, since you are back anyway, there will be more opportunities to meet you in the future. I will ask my servants to arrange a house for you."
"You guys should stay at the 'Chen Yao Inn' tonight. Someone will show you the way to your residence later."
Mrs. Xuelan's arrangements sound very thoughtful.
"Thank you."
"Come here, let's see these two 'distinguished guests'."
After Li Tianming and Wei Jing left, Mrs. Xuelan stood with Chen Yao with a smile on her face. Her smile was very bright.
"Why do you feel so good?" Chen Yao asked strangely.
"Really? Don't say that. This sister of mine has lived through twenty years of suffering and will die alone. Not to mention how much I pity her."
Mrs. Xuelan smiled when she spoke.
"Really? I feel like you're so happy that you're about to dance." Chen Yao curled his lips.
"Don't talk nonsense, kid, but life's encounters are really amazing sometimes, hehe." She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Boring." Chen Yao thought about Li Tianming's appearance, and suddenly said: "Why do I think that man looks familiar? What is his name?"
"It looks like Li Tianming? Li Yanfeng's seed in Lihuo City. I think back then, the toad ate the swan meat." Mrs. Xuelan shook her head and smiled.
"Li Tianming? I remembered it! Four years ago, he entered the Yanhuang Academy. This person is a joke of the Yanhuang Academy!" Chen Yao also laughed.
"How to say?"
Chen Yao then talked about the incident that happened in Yanhuang Academy three years ago. To this day, people are still talking about this laughing stock.
"A miserable woman, a mean child, what a perfect match." Xue Lan suddenly wanted to have a drink, this feeling was so good.
"The companion beast is dead, and you are still at the seventh level of the beast vein realm? You just used the blood god contract to find a companion beast, and you just want to enter the Yanhuang Academy again? This is too disrespectful to the palace examination." Chen Yao couldn't help but shook his head.
.
He couldn't figure out why a person whose reputation was ruined would come here to embarrass himself.
Xue Lan was happy enough. She was about to make Gujin soup when her servants reported that ‘Chen Sheng’ was back.
She quickly tidied up her clothes and went out to greet him with the help of her maids.
This influential figure in the Suzaku Kingdom looks very young, like a young man, more like Chen Yao's brother.
Only by looking at his eyes can we see his experience and strong aura.
When he walked into Chen Palace, the entire Chen Palace fell into deathly silence, and the guards along the way knelt down and worshiped him as if he were an emperor.
If Chen Yao's eyes are stars, then what Chen Sheng sees is just a sea of stars. The sparkle in his eyes is enough to make the entire Chen Palace shine brightly.
After he came back, Xue Lan personally changed his clothes, then lay in his arms, like a happy little woman.
"Who are the two people who just came out? They look familiar to me." Chen Sheng asked, stroking Xue Lan's long hair.
"Have you seen her?" Xue Lan pursed her lips.
"who is it?"
"That person you couldn't get back then." Xue Lan said with a sweet smile.
Oops!
Chen Sheng suddenly stood up and looked at Xue Lan with a deep look. His face was solemn and shocked, and he asked: "You mean, it's her!"
"Yes, do you see clearly? It's old and ugly. I feel like vomiting just looking at it. I vomited today, have you vomited?"
Xue Lan raised her head and looked at him mockingly with a smile in her eyes.
He didn't answer.
"Do you still love a forty-year-old who is so ugly?" Xue Lan licked her red lips and smiled beautifully.
Chen Sheng took a deep breath and walked out of the room without saying a word.
"You'd better see clearly how ugly she is now. If you haven't vomited enough, don't come back to this house!"
After he left, Xue Lan's excited voice continued to come out, getting louder and louder.
