Chapter 054 – Im Not Stupid Anymore! (1/2)

054 – I'm not stupid anymore!

The Sun was s.h.i.+ning brightly, and Spring was in the air.

The proud youngsters trotted through the middle of the street on their horses, as if the crowd on the streets was a river that naturally split into two for them.

They looked very imposing, like they were in the centre of the world, as if they were the people blessed by the heavens.

They are domineering, but not annoying; instead people admired them and even wished to become one of them.

The youngster with the sword who's talking was called Chu Xun, a member of the West Wind Kingdom Royal family. His father was a prince who did not do much, but an idle prince is still a prince. Therefore, among all the people present here, his status is the most respected.

“However, that Gao Qiu is too annoying, if sister Qiji don't hit him, I would have beat him up——” A cute girl with an oval faced chuckled. “However, if I whip him it won't be as mighty and intimidating as sister Qiji. She did not even respond to one word he said. Seeing his hateful face, she flayed him with her whip—–until he cried and fell on his knees, begging for mercy. ”

“Xiaoxing, it's the difference in temperament—-Qiji is one of the three bright moons of the kingdom, you are one of the three pets of the kingdom, how could there be the same effect?” A bulky youngster wearing green said teasingly. It seemed like he liked this Xiaoxing girl; when he looked at her as he spoke, his eyes were filled with joy.

“Liu Long, you're the pet, you're a big black horse, big stupid bull—-so annoying.” Xiaoxing did not like others calling her a pet, she said these words with evident discontent as she argued back. “

Although many people have gathered together, Chu Xun's mind was entirely on the maiden in white, Lu Qiji.

He looked straight ahead, one hand holding the reins and the other hand holding a sword, keeping a cautious att.i.tude.

“Qiji, Grandfather Lu is fighting for the position of left government minister. It's in the bag, right?” Chu Xun said with a smile.

Hearing Chu Xun asking this question, everyone all turned silent, waiting to hear the gossip not known to anyone. It should be said that all the people present here are children of officials; from being exposed to politics from a young age, they more or less understand the current political situation. Lu Xingkong fighting for the left government minister position is now the matter that's everyone is most concerned about in Tiandu, or perhaps even the entire Kingdoms's social cla.s.s is paying special attention to it. If Lu Xingkong, the leader of the military, is successful in the role of left government minister, then with both the military and political powers in his hand, just how powerful will the Lu family become?

As someone who enjoys the benefits of the country, if they were able to bring back some important news for their family or parents, is that not a great merit in itself?

“If Prince Han is willing to come forward and support him, then it is in the bag.” Lu Qiji said without any expression.

Chu Xun smiled wryly and said: “My father will naturally support Lu grandfather, but he also have some unavoidable difficulties himself. Lu grandfather wants to fight for the left government minister position, then of course the Cui family would be obstructing in every possible ways. But the most critical person is the old grandpa of the Song family, don't know why but he never liked Lu grandfather, even giving him the name 'Sand Eagle'—–such a graceless t.i.tle. Many people have said the old grandpa might not be able to persist for too long, but the royal family still majorly values his opinion. If the royal family attaches so much importance to his opinion, in that case there would be some bias. My father by himself is weak and powerless, he can't influence the emperor's final decision”

“The Cui family is obstructing, the Song family hates him and the royal family dislikes him, yet you say my grandfather's attack for government minister position is in the bag? Chu Xun, what is your intention?” The girl in white words were sharp and she said this with disdain.

Chu Xun paused, then shrugged charmingly and said: “Look, Qiji is grabbing onto my mistakes again and mercilessly piercing me with a blade. People, do pay particular attention when you speak with Qiji. We're not worried of rigid knives, but your soft spoken words can kill.

The crowd burst into loud laughter, immediately dissolving the embarra.s.sment of Chu Xun.

“Never mind, let's not mention the affairs of the nation. Although these matters are not that distant from us now, but we are still young and weak, and won't have the power to affect any plans. Let's talk about school instead; entrance examination results will be out soon. Qiji, you've decided to go to West Wind University, right? ”

“In this world, is there even one thing you can be certain of?” Lu Qiji pondered then said: “That person of the Cui family is coming back soon, right? ”

“I heard that Cui Xiaoxin enrolled to West Wind University, with her academic achievements this is definitely not a problem. Calculating the time, she should be coming back within a month? When she comes back, Tiandu will be even more lively—“A youngster wearing bright clothes matched with jade said with a flushed face.

“Before I heard that Wanxi likes Cui Xiaoxin—so it really is true—-Did you see how excited he was? Cui Xiaoxin isn't back yet, wait until she comes back, would you even be able to speak to her?” Liu Long said teasingly. “

“Exactly. Cui Xiaoxin is coming back; our Tiandu will be even more lively and busy. Is Cui Xiaoxin a person or a group of people? She alone could be compared to half of the city's population?” Xiaoxing said resentfully; she is Lu Qiji's diehard fan girl. Among the three bright moon of the kingdom, her favourite is the cold and strong Lu Qiji, she does not even care about the other two. “If you like, then go play with her in the future.”

Wanxi scowled miserably and said: “I'm just saying, wasn't it you who brought it to the discussion—–”

Chu Xun laughed, looked at Lu Qiji and said: “Wherever you're going, I will be going there too.”

With the status of his father, he can choose from any elite school in the kingdom. Besides, his ability is already outstanding within his generation; whether it's his knowledge in literature or martial arts skills, he is still a leader of the younger generation of Tiandu. No matter which school he wants to go to, that school will definitely welcome him.
