Chapter 244 (1/2)

After the small incident, the examination continued. The eighteen disciples used their own blood to draw talismans, burn incense, draw a gathering spirit array, and then attract wind and clouds and call thunder and lightning.

Their spirit gathering array was drawn on a small open space next to the table. Their level naturally couldn’t be compared with the state teacher’s. After all the steps were completed, Gong Da and several other disciples with good aptitudes summoned moderate rainfall, while others could only summon a drizzle.

Nan Xun saw the drizzle summoned by Gong Shiqi and laughed at him mercilessly, making Gong Shiqi stamp his foot on the spot.

Seeing Gong Moran approaching, Gong Shiqi immediately bowed his head, “My apologies, my Lord, this disciple has ashamed you.”

Gong Moran said lightly, “No harm, you entered Moran Hall late so you naturally aren’t better than your seniors.”

Nan Xun immediately pulled the rug from his feet. “Aiya, my Lord, there’s no need to comfort Shiqi ah, look at Shiba, the rain he summoned was heavier than his.” [shiqi = 17, shiba = 18, so shiqi is shiba’s senior, but shiba is better than shiqi]

Gong Shiqi: …

Gong Shiqi hated Li Yunduo to death. He was thinking about how to fiercely stab this little girl in his mind.

At the end of exam, Gong Moran rubbed the little girl’s head and took her away, leaving a group of disciples staring at each other.

Nan Xun received a few new beautiful clothes the next day.

She stared at those dresses for a while, and her heart couldn’t help but tremble.

Dang, this dress’s material is too good! The meticulous workmanship almost caught up with State Teacher’s white robe.

Nan Xun couldn’t wait to change into the white dress. She tried to gather her long hair on top of her head, but gave up when it kept falling down to her shoulders.

Little Eight couldn’t help but sigh, “Tsk, beautiful ah, you’d definitely blind those men if you go out. Anyway, can’t you change to a prettier hairstyle?”

Nan Xun replied, “But, I can only do this one ah.” After a slight pause, she proudly added, “Don’t the ladies in ancient times have maidservants to help them with their hair? They’re not as good as me oh.”

Little Eight: …

You’re born with such beauty, so whatever you say is right.

The happy Nan Xun made big boss’ favorite pastry, Scholar Blossom Cake, that very night.

After Gong Moran ate a piece, he suddenly waved to her. “Girl, come here.”

Nan Xun walked to him and asked with a smile, “Lord, do you want me to do anything ah?”

The corners of Gong Moran’s mouth bent slightly. He removed the gu insect from the silver gu vessel gracefully. “Girl, it’s time to try this again today.”

Nan Xun’s face stiffened instantly.

, it’s fake, all of it is fake, the gentleness today is all fake!

In the blink of an eye, a heart-biting gu was implanted into Nan Xun. The pain almost made her roll on the floor, but she held back like her life depended on it. She squeezed Gong Moran’s palm with her fingers, and a kind of enduring cry seeped out from her. “Lord, I’m hurting, it hurts…”

Gong Moran looked at her indifferently, but he suddenly raised his hand gently, covered her head with his big palm, rubbed it, and then pressed several acupuncture points.

Nan Xun’s pain was reduced by more than half.

When the gu trial was over, Gong Moran rubbed her little head. “It’s okay, it’s already over…”
