Chapter 168: Outgrowth
Su Xiaoxiao sat obediently in front of Su Changhe, but her eyes intentionally or unintentionally searched for Gu Chen and Zhou Chengye in the crowd.
She twirled her fingers lightly, and the clothes of Zhou Chengye and Gu Chen were set on fire.
Su Changhe was concentrating on watching Kang Lun's poetry when he suddenly heard a sentence: "I haven't used my fire ability for a long time, so I feel a little rusty." 】
Su Changhe looked at Su Xiaoxiao in confusion. He had just been busy criticizing others, forgetting that their Xiaoxiao never suffered losses.
From the beginning to now, Su Xiaoxiao has not said a word, which in itself is a big problem!
Su Changhe looked at Su Xiaoxiao leisurely, wanting to see what she wanted to do.
Su Xiaoxiao held the milk bottle and glanced at the crowd from time to time, with an unfathomable look on her face:
[Let it cook slowly, boiling a frog in warm water is more interesting.]
Su Changhe couldn't help but look at the crowd. No, Gu Chen was standing next to him. How come there is a faint smoke again?
He looked closely and saw that a large part of Gu Chen's clothes had been burned. The strange thing was that the fire did not grow larger when it touched the clothes, but just burned slowly.
Su Changhe He didn't sympathize with Gu Chen, but he didn't want to hurt innocent people. This was a fire. If it ignited, the consequences would be disastrous.
When he was about to remind Gu Chen, he saw a man's sleeve fall on the flames on Gu Chen's body, but the sleeve was Unexpectedly, it was completely unscathed.
The other one was also the same. Su Changhe was stunned. This fire recognized its master?
Several people passed by Gu Chen. Their clothes were not burned, and they did not put out the small fire. Su Changhe was sure that there was something wrong with the fire.
He searched for Zhou Chengye in the crowd again. Xiaoxiao knew that she would never let go of anyone who hurt her sister.
Sure enough, Zhou Chengye, who was not far away, also had his clothes on fire. His fire burned more thoroughly, and his pants were almost burned.
Gu Chen's servants also did not It was not good at all. The three of them were not close to each other, and the fire was burning on its own, each burning its own, without disturbing each other.
Su Changhe was puzzled and anxious. Doesn't the burning of the fire hurt?
Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao's inner voice immediately explained to him: "It is a waste of God's gift to use this spiritual fire on you, but in order not to hurt innocent people, I will spare you the cost. Now you can't feel the pain of the fire, you can go back at night. You guys are going to have a hard time, hehehe!
Su Xiaoxiao felt so happy just thinking about it, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Kang Lun stopped writing and looked at Su Xiaoxiao, and asked, "Xiaoxiao, what happy things happened to you that made you so happy?" "Oh!"
"Because Brother Kang is going to win!" Su Xiaoxiao said, pulling her high-top braid.
Upon hearing this, Xue Chenguang couldn't help but look at the poem written by Kang Lunlun. It would have been better if he hadn't read it. As soon as he saw it, Xue Chenguang's mentality changed . Collapsed.
Kang Luan's writing skills surpassed his by more than a little bit.
Xue Chenguang went to Beijing to take the exam this time just to reassure his grandfather. As long as he could get a score of 1,500, he would bring honor to his family.
He still had this confidence. He wanted to travel around the capital in a low-key manner, and then go back to Sichuan after taking the exams.
But his sister Xue Ruoxue suddenly changed her nature and became concerned about his studies.
She forced him to attend some literary gathering. , saying that the name was first known.
The younger sister had just recovered from a serious illness and was emotionally unstable. As long as he disagreed, Xue Ruoxue would cry all day long, saying that her brother didn't like her anymore.
The doctor also said that the younger sister shouldn't worry too much and should not be too cautious about everything . In order to follow her wishes, Xue Chenguang has been in the spotlight again and again.
Even so, the younger sister was still not satisfied. She said that it was useless to win against a few unknown people. If you want to compete, you should compete with the best.
Xue Chenguang had heard of Kang Lun's name. He knew that he was not Kang Lun. Xue Chenguang refused again and again, and told Xue Ruoxue that he was not so eager to win.
But Xue Ruoxue was so angry that she coughed up blood and almost fainted.
Xue Chenguang had no choice but to agree reluctantly. He also called Xue Ruoxue in advance. Xue Ruoxue only hoped that her brother
would come forward, and she didn't care about winning or losing.
Now that the result was clear, Xue Chenguang stood up and said, "Mr. Kang is well-read and talented, and I am convinced of my defeat!"
Kang Lun did not expect Xue Chenguang to be so straightforward and transparent.
He had made such a big scene, but he only saw After taking a look at his own poem, did he give up?
Kang Lun looked at Xue Chenguang's poem and was also amazed. His poem had a kind of leisure and ease that was not in conflict with the world.
So he said: "Mr. Xue, you are too polite. Your poem is extraordinary. "You are so unconventional! I can't
even compare to you!" The two people who should have been at loggerheads with each other were actually more polite than each other. How could those who were waiting to see them fight to the death be satisfied?
They had placed a bet . I tried to smooth things over and ended up in a draw, but they lost all their money.
One spectator said, "Don't be so modest, gentlemen. We have been waiting here since early morning just to see your amazing talents. Who is better should be decided by everyone!
" That’s right, that’s right!” The audience was noisy.
Xue Chenguang was not someone who could not afford to lose, so he asked his servants to show him two poems. He also explained: “I have always thought that my poems are good. Today I will show you my poems. "It was only after meeting Brother Kang that I realized that there are always people better than you. Brother Kang has a broad mind, and I
can never compare to him!" Everyone gathered around to watch the poem, and from time to time someone would say a line or two.
"Mr. Xue's poems express his feelings about mountains and rivers, making people feel like they are bathed in spring breeze!"
"This imperial examination is to select talents for the imperial court. Mr. Kang's poems are concerned about the country and the people, which is more suitable for the imperial examination."
"More than that, Mr. Xue's Although the poem is good, it is inferior to Mr. Kang's in both structure and purpose. "The
people who came were all literati and poets. Although a few of them came to rubbish at Kang Lun's misfortune, most of them came to see his literary talent.
In the end, Kang Lun won without a doubt.
Xue Chenguang accepted his defeat with a clear conscience, but he admired Kang Lun's talent.
The long-awaited fight ended just like that, and the crowd was a little unwilling to accept it . .
At this moment, a soft female voice rang out: "Brother, Ruoxue knows that you are sad and understand the hardship and difficulty of Master Kang's study. However, learning cannot tolerate the slightest falsehood. In order to help Master Kang, you concealed your strength and deliberately lost the game. How can you be worthy of these sincere students!"
When Xue Ruoxue said this, everyone was stunned. No wonder Xue Chenguang easily admitted defeat. It turned out that he was deliberately letting Kang Lun win.
Xue Chenguang was obviously very angry about his sister's sudden appearance. He shouted: "Ruoxue, go back, what are you talking about here!"
Xue Chenguang's performance made people feel that he really had something to hide.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xue Ruoxue under the veil, and his eyes became fierce: [It turns out that she is back! 】
