The Crown Prince ordered a notice to be posted, stating that the court needed to summon outstanding scholars to exorcise demons, and those who performed well would be rewarded.
Many scholars in the capital city signed up.
The three Qi brothers were also eager to try.
Qi Junzhou: "Big brother, second brother, I think you two shouldn't go. One of you is crippled, and the other is mentally unstable. Wouldn't you just become a laughingstock if you went out?"
Qi Junxian patted Qi Junzhou and said, "My brother and I were just pretending, you know? We're not really crippled or crazy."
Qi Junzhou: "That won't do! As the saying goes, if you're going to put on a show, you have to finish it. You can't give up halfway through!"
Qi Junlin glanced at Qi Junzhou, as if he had seen through his thoughts: "I think you don't want us to steal your thunder, do you?"
Qi Junxian pointed at Qi Junzhou and said, "Oh, so that's what you meant."
Qi Junzhou: "My two good brothers, you should stay home and rest. You've both been rewarded, and this isn't an exam where you absolutely have to go. Let me go out and see the world on my own!"
"Alright, alright, go ahead! Don't regret it if you run into trouble and have no help," Qi Junlin said.
"With so many people together, what could possibly happen? Don't worry. I'm going to shine in this event!"
When Chiu Chiu and her mother returned home, her three older brothers ran out happily.
"You're finally back!"
The mother gave her three sons a wink.
The three children then noticed that there was a boy, about ten years old, following behind them.
Xu Ruyun: "This is the Third Prince, quickly pay your respects to the Third Prince!"
The three children quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness the Third Prince!"
The three brothers pulled their mother aside and asked, "Mother, why did you bring the Third Prince back? What is he doing here?"
Xu Ruyun: "The Third Prince is coming to stay at my house for a while. You all need to get along well with the Third Prince during this time."
"yes!"
The third prince waved his hand, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids carried in a box.
Qi Junzhou: "With so many people, can our family accommodate them all?"
The third prince ordered his men to open the box.
The box contained golden melon seeds, fine silks and satins, various delicacies, and all sorts of small gifts.
Qi Junzhou's mouth dropped open in surprise.
"Wow!"
Third Prince: "This is a gift for everyone! I apologize for bothering you all during this time."
Qi Junzhou grabbed a handful of melon seeds and even bit into them.
"You're too kind! Third Prince, with so many gifts from you, you could live in our house for the rest of your life!"
Xu Ruyun glared at him.
Qi Junzhou stuck out his tongue and put the golden melon seeds back in his hand.
The third prince turned to the group of eunuchs and palace maids and said, "You may all go back! Just leave two of you to take care of me. I am safe here, don't worry!"
"yes!"
The eunuchs and palace maids returned to their quarters upon hearing the Third Prince's order.
Qi Junzhou and Qi Jiating's illegitimate son, Qi Gaoming, both signed up for the exorcism.
Before leaving, Qi Gaoming received his mother's instructions: during this exorcism, find a way to eliminate Qi Junzhou. That way, their family could rest easy.
Before Qi Junzhou left, Qiuqiu secretly stuffed a few strands of her hair into the sachet, and then put the sachet into Qi Junzhou's clothes.
Qi Junzhou bid farewell to his family: "Don't worry, everyone. Maybe I'll achieve great success after I come back this time."
My clumsy third brother is lucky if he can even protect himself, let alone achieve great success! Sigh!
Xu Ruyun looked at Qi Junzhou with concern and said, "How about I bring you a personal bodyguard?"
Qi Junzhou waved his hands repeatedly: "No need, no need! Mother, don't worry! I can do it!"
As night fell, the air was filled with the stench of blood.
"Oh no! Oh no! Someone's dead over there!"
In a corner not far away, a person sat on the ground, his body seemingly hollowed out, leaving only an empty shell. There was a pool of blood on the ground.
The timid person hurriedly covered their eyes.
Qi Junzhou had never seen such a scene before.
Upon seeing this, he ran to the side and couldn't help but vomit.
Seeing him vomit, Qi Gaoming said disdainfully, "A spoiled brat like you can't handle such rough work as exorcism. You'd better go home and find your mother!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
The team leader said, "Stop laughing, everyone. Let's get down to business!"
Then everyone picked up their scriptures and began to recite them together.
Thousands of scholars gathered together to read scriptures, which momentarily terrified the dark clouds above.
The black aura gradually faded.
The team leader pointed happily to the sky and said, "The demonic energy has been dispelled! That's wonderful!"
Inside the palace, more than a hundred novice monks chanted scriptures together to exorcise demons.
The dark aura above the palace gradually faded.
While Qi Junzhou was reciting scriptures, he inadvertently saw a cute little animal peeking its head out of the alley next door.
The little animal even waved to him when it peeked out.
Qi Junzhou was always playful, and driven by curiosity, he secretly ran into the alley to look for cute little animals.
The little animal ran further and further away, and Qi Junzhou chased after it further and further away.
Finally, they ran to a remote wilderness.
When the small animal saw that no one was around, it transformed into a gigantic monster in the blink of an eye.
The monster, with its mouth full of fangs, lunged at Qi Junzhou with a ferocious look!
Far away, Jinlan was manipulating the monster to attack Qi Junzhou.
Jinlan gritted her teeth and glared at Qi Junzhou, saying, "Go to hell!"
The monster lunged at Qi Junzhou with its gaping maw, seemingly about to devour him.
Qi Junzhou covered his head with his hand.
