Great Yu Dynasty.
Unlike ordinary secular forces, the Great Yu Dynasty vigorously promoted cultivation.
Whether it was martial arts, cultivation, or entering the Dao through literature, the Court held trials for all.
This was the so-called Great Yu Grand Stage.
If you have the guts, come!
Those who passed the trials would receive guaranteed job assignments, with the Great Yu Dynasty always serving as a solid backing.
A full sense of security.
Recently, it was time for the once-in-a-decade Literary Examination.
Talented scholars from all over gathered in the Royal Capital, displaying their talents and literary prowess.
Some even resonated with the Wenqu Star, stepping directly into the Dao—comparable to the Golden Core Realm.
Compared to the violence-filled Martial Examination, the Literary Examination was full of elegance.
Moreover, the noblewomen of the Royal Capital preferred scholars.
With this wave, one could save at least a hundred years of detours.
To ensure fairness in the trials, not only were officials present to evaluate, but sects from major powers and ancient noble families were also invited, along with renowned literary giants.
Lu Qian and Wang Yan’er were naturally on the invitation list as well.
Although the two entered the city low-key, they still couldn’t escape the eyes and ears of the Court.
After all, within the Royal Capital, there were many old monsters loyal to the Court, and even Great Ascension Patriarchs hidden away in the Imperial Palace Forbidden Grounds.
As for Qin Mu, he was naturally dragged along as well, obediently following behind his two aunts into the venue.
It had to be said, it was quite grand.
Due to the large number of participants, the venue was divided into several areas.
Qin Mu was in the Sixth Arena.
Because of her status, Wang Yan’er wore a veil, while Lu Qian had no such concerns.
The two mature beauties sat together, their alluring figures drawing nearly all eyes in the room.
Even Qin Mu, seated behind them, was ignored.
Not long after they sat down, a middle-aged man in official robes walked over.
He smiled and said, “Wang Tower Master and Lu Sect Leader, your presence brings honor to this place. Ge Sir is humbled.”
The two nodded slightly.
Then Lu Qian spoke.
“Ge Darén is too polite. Proceed as usual. We won’t interfere too much.”
Ge Darén smiled.
“The title of ‘Darén’ is too much for me. Ge Sir will certainly act impartially.”
As he finished, he looked at Qin Mu, finding the youth unfamiliar.
“This is…?”
“A junior of mine. I brought him to broaden his horizons.”
“So it’s Lu Sect Leader’s kin. A dragon among men. His future will surely be extraordinary.”
Hearing this, Qin Mu couldn’t help but cringe inside.
If I were so amazing, why didn’t I know it myself?
After a few polite exchanges, Ge Darén returned to his seat.
As if recalling something, Wang Yan’er looked at Lu Qian beside her, her eyes mysterious.
“Guess who came this time?”
Lu Qian rolled her eyes.
“How would I know? If you have something to say, say it. Stop keeping me in suspense.”
“It’s that person from the last Literary Examination who couldn’t forget you after seeing you once… Zhao something. I don’t quite remember the name. He also came this time, but now he’s a Deputy Chief Examiner. He should be arriving soon.”
A flame of gossip burned in Wang Yan’er’s beautiful eyes.
Behind them, Qin Mu heard this and his pupils widened in shock.
He couldn’t believe someone dared to pursue Aunt Lu.
Who gave him the courage? Liang Moumou?
“Oh my, do you think he’ll propose to you again this time like before?”
At this point, Lu Qian remembered as well.
She frowned.
“Just an annoying fly. Drive him away.”
Wang Yan’er smiled wordlessly, waiting for the show to begin.
As for how she knew all this—please, never underestimate the Star Plucking Tower’s intelligence network.
Even the color of your underwear could be uncovered by them.
Before long, a handsome young man approached.
When he saw Lu Qian, excitement was plain on his face.
“Zhao Ji greets Wang Tower Master.”
He then gazed at Lu Qian with deep affection.
“Greetings, Lu Sect Leader.”
Just like before, Wang Yan’er and Lu Qian nodded slightly.
But Zhao Ji did not leave.
He showed a bright smile.
“Lu Sect Leader, it’s been ten years since we last met. In these ten years, I have thought of you constantly. Though my cultivation can’t compare to yours, could you give me a chance?”
As he finished, the surrounding people all looked over.
Qin Mu even took out some sunflower seeds he’d brought to stave off boredom.
In Qin Mu’s view, this guy had no chance.
Of the nearly ten people he’d seen pursue Aunt Lu, none had ever received a good response.
For those who pushed their luck, Aunt Lu didn’t hesitate to give a big pen whack.
Do you know how much damage a big pen whack can cause to a person?
Lu Qian didn’t even spare Zhao Ji a glance, closing her eyes to rest.
If not for the occasion, she would’ve taught him a lesson with a slap already.
The people nearby were unsurprised.
There were countless who had chased after Lu Sect Leader, not just men but women too.
Still, girls sticking close was a good thing!
Sure enough, no matter what Zhao Ji said, Lu Qian didn’t spare him a glance.
As the time for the competition drew near, Zhao Ji had no choice but to give up for now.
Seeing the anticlimactic end, Wang Yan’er was disappointed.
“Sigh, why didn’t he persist? I was looking forward to it.”
She reached out and grabbed some sunflower seeds from Qin Mu behind her.
“Mu’er, remember, if you chase a girl in the future, you must be persistent. Never give up easily.”
“Wang Yan’er! What are you teaching Mu’er! He’s still young!”
At the mention of this topic, Lu Qian flared up like a cat, turning to Qin Mu seriously.
“Remember, Mu’er, right now cultivation comes first. These things will only disturb your Dao heart. Absolutely not!”
Besides, she hadn’t gotten him herself yet.
Those fox spirits could forget about it!
“Got it, Aunt Lu.”
Qin Mu nodded quickly.
“What are you teaching him!”
Wang Yan’er complained.
“Mu’er is the sole descendant of the Qin Family’s main bloodline. In the future, he’ll need to not only marry but marry several wives!”
This Lu Qian just wants to keep him all to herself!
Still, Wang Yan’er was worried that a bad woman would trick Mu’er away.
“Mu’er, if you ever find a girl you like, tell Aunt Yan’er. I’ll help you check her out.”
Qin Mu nodded like a pecking chick.
“Mm, okay, Aunt Yan’er!”
In truth, inside Qin Mu’s heart, what Aunt Lu said was: no finding a wife—not allowed—absolutely not!
But as the Young Master of the Qin Family, spreading the bloodline is my great responsibility!
As for Aunt Yan’er’s words—heh—they were the same as his sisters’.
‘Check her out’—in the end, whether physically or biologically, the other party would end up gone.
The more beautiful a woman, the less trustworthy her words.
Young Master Qin decided to frame this saying as his motto.
