C141 (1/2)

The Xiaowan had disappeared, and disappeared along with his son. The Uncle Biao rode on his horse and looked over his Baisha Town up and down, and even went to check his Qingling Village.

Until the evening, when Da Qing met a familiar boat family at the dock. They actually said that when he left the ship early in the morning, there was a mother and son riding the boat, and their appearances and ages were extremely similar to that of the Xiaowan.

However, right now, they were at the mouth of the river outside the Baisha River. It was raining heavily, and if they wanted to go chase them by boat, they wouldn't be able to leave today's ship.

The whole family gathered together to discuss, and all of them held back their words, and in the end, the Auntie Chen said: ”She brought Little Pei along, that's not possible! If she seeks death, what will happen to Little Pei?”

Everyone looked at each other, Da Qing said: ”Let's go to the pier and wait, we will leave the moment there is a boat.”

The Uncle Biao then said: ”You guys wait for the water path, I will ride on my horse and head there first. She might be going to the cliff to pay her respects to Chao Feng, wanting to tell him about Ershan's good news.”

If that was really the case, that would be the best outcome, but Little Pei was not a mortal. Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang both knew that, so Xiaowan didn't need to worry about losing his son because no one would take care of him.

He had been on guard for more than half a year, but in the end, he had still not escaped this calamity.

At the moment, Xiaowan had already changed ships and was floating on the river.

Little Pei was very obedient, and did not say much along the way. He did not dare to ask his mother where she was going, as he was afraid that she would not be able to answer him.

But at night, when his mother was fast asleep, Ling Pei left his body and flew out, heading straight for the Imperial City.

He could ride the cloud and ride the fog, and he could arrive at the destination in the blink of an eye. But today, he was stopped on his way to find his father.

”Grandmother …” Facing the gigantic dragon blocking him, his path was blocked.

”Go back!” She said coldly and ruthlessly, ”Little Pei you have to know, once your father leaves the stone statue unnoticed, he will be severely punished. Do you want to harm him?”

”But my mother, she … she seems to …” Ling Bi wanted to speak, but stopped himself. He hoped that he was overthinking things.

”Go back!” Grandmother forced him into her mouth and flew back to the river.

In a short period of time, the Xiaowan was shaken awake, but when she saw her son beside him, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Little Pei returned to his physical body, opened his eyes and looked at his mother.

”What are you looking at?” The Xiaowan gave him a kiss, ”Are you dreaming?

Little Pei pursed his lips, not knowing what to say. He threw himself into his mother's embrace and hugged her tightly.

”Silly child …” The Xiaowan comforted him softly, but his gaze was empty as he looked at the pitch black cabin, ”We'll be there soon.”

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed and Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang had respectively gone out on a dry path to chase after him.

And today, was the first Hall Competition since he ascended the throne.

At that moment, the day dawned. The warriors who passed the exam were already listed under the gates of the Imperial City, waiting for the officials to bring them into the Imperial Palace.

After entering the palace, he had experienced the etiquette of roll call, scatterings, worship, and salutations. Finally, he gave out the questions and handed in the papers at sunset.

The results would be released soon after the papers were reviewed by the reading officials and submitted to the emperor for approval.

But this session was different from the past. On the second day of the Hall Competition, the examinees were once again summoned to the palace.

At that time, after the names of the examinees were hidden away, they would recite the theory written by them. Every examinee would then be able to know what was written in the essays of the others.

Bi Zhenye was ranked fifth, he was a few places behind Ershan, but there were often people who did not get a good ranking in previous years, and in the end, they displayed their talents in the Hall Competition as the top scorers of the high school.

At this moment, everyone was following the attendant as they walked towards the majestic and imposing Announcement Hall. Standing below the stairs, waiting to be summoned, Ershan inadvertently raised his head and saw the mighty and domineering stone beast standing above the eaves.

Naturally, he could not sense that his brother was protecting him. He only thought of entering the imperial court as an official in the future. Every day when he walked by, he would be under the watch of this stone beast.

He couldn't become like his father. He couldn't forget his original intention of revenge.

Ling Chaofeng looked at his younger brother, who was standing openly in front of the palace. Although he had long known that Ershan was hiding the secret in his heart and that he would one day return to the Bi Family to take revenge, he had always hoped that Ershan would wake up on his own.

When the palace maid brought the examinees into the Announcement Hall, Ling Chaofeng's heart suddenly trembled. He felt that thousands of miles away, the Xiaowan was currently thinking about him.

Ling Chaofeng unconsciously clenched his fists, trying his best to calm himself down. He could calculate the future, but he could not calculate the future of Xiaowan at all.
