Chapter 90 The Suspended Soul Silk is Resolved
"Hey hey hey!"
Zhou Jiming was pushed by Shao Yanzhe and headed towards Marquis Changping.
"You unfilial son! Kneel down!"
When Marquis Changping saw him, his face immediately darkened. After giving a reprimand, he subconsciously looked at the emperor beside him.
Zhou Jiming glanced at him, and suddenly a surge of anger rose in his heart. His hand moved uncontrollably and struck at him.
He had previously attacked Marquis Changping, but he hadn't managed to land a single blow on him.
He originally thought this time would be like last time, but unexpectedly, his fist landed directly on Marquis Changping's face.
“You unfilial son! You…” Marquis Changping wanted to curse, but Zhou Jiming didn’t give him the chance and immediately threw another punch.
Marquis Changping was pinned to the ground and attacked with both hands until the last punch knocked him unconscious. Only then did he get up, satisfied.
"Brother Shao, thank you!"
Zhou Jiming guessed that Shao Yanzhe must have done something wrong. He felt completely comfortable and his mind was clear.
Fine cracks slowly appeared in the surrounding environment, a sign that the sphere of obsession was breaking.
Shao Yanzhe paid no attention to this, but instead stared at the unconscious Marquis of Changping and said something.
"Is that enough? Don't you want to experience it in real life too?"
Zhou Jiming: !!!
My heart is fluttering!
His eyes lit up instantly, filled with a deep longing.
He had long disliked Marquis Changping, but unfortunately, no matter what, he was still his father.
"This is not easy to handle!" Zhou Jiming rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"I can always do it, don't you trust me?"
"I believe you! Of course I believe you!"
"Alright, you've taken care of this. I'm going to find Brother Chen now."
"He also has obsessions?"
Who in this world is without obsessions?
"You're right."
"However, before I came to find you, you smashed Brother Chen's obsession ball away, and I don't know his current situation."
"Really? Hahaha, well, I probably didn't mean it, Brother Shao. This is something only the two of us should know. You can't tell Brother Chen when you get out!"
"rest assured."
As the last sentence fell, the world they lived in shattered in an instant.
Shao Yanzhe originally thought he would return to that dark world, but unexpectedly he ended up on a bustling and prosperous street.
"The top scholar is parading through the streets!"
"This year's top scorer is really handsome! Even better looking than the third-place finisher!"
"I heard that this top scholar's family is extremely wealthy!"
"So what! That doesn't stop him from becoming the top scorer!"
"I heard that he bought his way to the top spot with money."
"How is that possible! He was the top scholar! How could he possibly buy his way in!"
"That's right! You can't talk nonsense! Spreading rumors can get you arrested and thrown in jail!"
"Pshaw! I know this top scholar very well. I know exactly what he's capable of. He's lucky to have come in last place. He would never have become the top scholar."
"Can't people study hard and pass the exam?!"
"Him? Pshaw!"
Shao Yanzhe looked at the procession and saw Chen Yunhe's familiar face.
"I never expected that Brother Chen, who usually seems indifferent to the imperial examinations, actually cares about them to an extreme degree."
Soon, the parade of the top scholar ended, and Shao Yanzhe was about to go find Chen Yunhe when, unexpectedly, he turned around and found himself back at the very beginning.
However, this time the conversation he heard was somewhat different.
"This top scholar is really handsome, and he even passed the imperial examination with top honors. He's truly amazing!"
"That's right! I heard that this top scholar is a famous talent in Jiangzhou, so it's not so surprising that he was able to become the top scholar."
"Not only that! I heard his family is the richest in the Jiangzhou area!"
"I'm so envious!"
"Yes, when will I be able to become the top scorer in the exam?"
"When will I be able to have the same wealth?"
"Sigh! I'm so envious!"
"yes!"
Shao Yanzhe raised an eyebrow. He glanced at Chen Yunhe and saw the corners of his mouth turned up and a fleeting smugness in his eyes.
He immediately realized that this result was something he had brought about.
As for the reason, it can't be that he wants to hear others praise him, right?
"That can't be, right?"
After the parade of the top scholar ended, Shao Yanzhe thought that Chen Yunhe would not come again, but then everything went wrong and he was back to the beginning.
As a result, the "Top Scholar Parade" alone was conducted six times.
Shao Yanzhe's lips twitched involuntarily: "Brother Chen is really very patient. He has stopped so many times and he is still not tired of it."
Seeing that it was about to be the seventh time, he quickly went over and grabbed Chen Yunhe's wrist.
"Brother Chen!"
Chen Yunhe was suddenly grabbed by the wrist and failed to rewind, so he looked at the person who ruined his chance with displeasure.
Upon seeing that the visitor was Shao Yanzhe, the displeasure on his face faded.
"Hey? Brother Shao! What are you doing here?"
"Of course I came here to find you. Haven't you noticed anything strange about this place?"
Shao Yanzhe looked around and saw that the people around him seemed to have been paused, remaining in one position and not moving at all.
Chen Yunhe replied matter-of-factly, "Of course I know! Otherwise, how could I have found a way to endlessly experience the parade of the top scholar and be fawned over by everyone?"
As he spoke, his eyes were filled with excitement: "Brother Shao, I'll tell you the method, and you too can become the top scholar for once. The feeling is truly indescribable!"
As he spoke, he began to explain the method to Shao Yanzhe.
Upon seeing this, Shao Yanzhe quickly stopped him, saying, "No need."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yunhe's excitement faded. He glanced at Shao Yanzhe, then looked away, his face full of disappointment.
“I know it’s not difficult for you, Brother Shao, to become the top scholar. I’m sure you’ll be among the top three this year. You don’t need to experience the joy of becoming the top scholar in this fake world.”
As he spoke, he sighed softly, "Unlike me, I can only experience the feeling of passing the imperial examination here. Once I leave this place, I'm afraid I'll have no chance of passing this imperial examination, let alone becoming the top scholar."
"So what if I'm the son of the richest man in Jiangzhou City? You can't really buy the title of top scholar with money."
Shao Yanzhe watched helplessly as Chen Yunhe transformed from a vibrant sunflower into a small mushroom in a dark corner, and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
"Do you really want to be the top scorer in the exam? Or do you just want others to acknowledge that you are also excellent, and that even if you don't become the top scorer, you are still the best?"
Chen Yunhe lowered his head and remained silent.
Shao Yanzhe was helpless. He had known Chen Yunhe for quite some time, but in reality, the two had very little interaction. He only knew that Chen Yunhe's family were merchants, and that his grandfather and father were away from home all year round, leaving him alone at home. That was all.
Therefore, he was unaware of how he got along with his family.
He couldn't help but scratch his head; he really wasn't good at comforting people!
"I think you're amazing, Brother Chen. Your comprehension is far beyond that of ordinary people. You basically never forget what you've learned, and you never make the same mistake again. You don't need to feel bad just because you can't become the top scorer."
Chen Yunhe looked up and felt that the hurt he had just suffered had been somewhat healed.
He hadn't expected Shao Yanzhe to be so insightful, immediately discerning his inner thoughts, which made him feel quite ashamed.
"But you know, one should be more open-minded. Acknowledge that others are good, and at the same time, acknowledge that you are not so bad either. There are countless scholars in the Dayong Dynasty, and almost four-fifths of them spend their entire lives trying to pass the imperial examinations. Look at Mr. Liu, he never passed the provincial examination before he died. But you, my friend, you are already a provincial graduate! You have already surpassed most people!"
Chen Yunhe: !!!
Stand tall! Be proud!
Shao Yanzhe secretly broke out in a cold sweat. That rambling out of him had unleashed all the inspirational quotes he had ever read in his past life, leaving him completely devoid of any more.
Fortunately, modern chicken soup is still delicious, and the original gloomy little mushroom has turned into a sunflower again, so his efforts were not in vain.
He heard the familiar cracking sound beside him and knew it was the sound of the Obsession Sphere shattering.
He glanced at Chen Yunhe, surprised that he had so easily let go of his obsession.
This silly child is too naive! Just a few words of praise and he's already lost all his attachment!
As Shao Yanzhe thought this, he felt a weight on his body and realized that he had returned to his own body. He opened his eyes and sat up, looking at the people next to him. He saw that their breathing was even, their furrowed brows had smoothed out, and a smile appeared at the corners of their eyes.
Zhou Jiming and Chen Yunhe, in particular, were laughing out loud, for some reason.
Shao Yanzhe re-protected the group with his spiritual energy before turning to look at the other side.
Why did you attack us first?
On the other side, the white silk was wrapped around the beams and pillars, like a living white snake, moving back and forth between them, having a great time.
Startled by Shao Yanzhe's question, she accidentally got tangled up as she climbed from the roof beam onto the pillar.
Bai Ling hurriedly tried to untangle the two ends that were tied together, but in her panic, the knot only tightened, eventually turning into a ball.
It fell to the ground with a muffled thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Cough cough! I! Cough cough! I didn't attack you first!"
Shao Yanzhe frowned and looked at Bai Ling: "I see you want to hang one of my classmates and kill him."
I saw it with my own eyes!
Bai Ling shuddered, realizing he couldn't untie it now, and jumped three feet high.
He shouted, "How can that be called an attack? I clearly sensed that he wanted to hang himself, so I helped him. How can that be called an attack? You humans have mouths, but you can't just slander the innocence of spirits!"
Shao Yanzhe: ...
He was momentarily speechless.
So, is it Liu Mingyuan's fault for dreaming that he wanted to hang himself?
“But he didn’t really intend to hang himself,” he tried to explain.
Bai Ling: "Hmph! You humans are so strange, you don't even distinguish between real and fake hanging!"
Shao Yanzhe scooped Xuan Yao up in his arms and tossed out a sentence: "Wait!"
He then went to the outside of the dilapidated temple and asked in a low voice, "How do we deal with Bai Ling's situation? He is one of your spirit creatures, you should have a way, right?"
Xuan Yao glanced at him: "Hmph! We spirit creatures aren't just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter. He's only half a spirit creature at most right now. With all that resentment on him, he'll probably turn into a demon in a while."
When Shao Yanzhe heard the word "monster," his eyes lit up immediately.
He glanced furtively to his left and right, making sure the white silk ribbon wasn't trying to eavesdrop, before lowering his voice and asking with a strange look in his eyes, "If it becomes a demon, can't we just kill it directly? And then we won't have to worry about its resentment?"
Author's note: Sorry, I made a mistake with the dates when I asked for leave!
I meant to take two days off, but I accidentally took three days off instead, hahaha.
