"Hurry up and get ready, I have a feeling they're going to meet the real deal." Bai Feng sent the address.
Xiao Zhixing slipped out of the palace and headed towards his destination.
In the backyard of a restaurant in the western district, a group of four entered a room lit only by a small candle. One person sat in the shadows, his face obscured.
"They're here."
"Greetings, young master." The gray-clad man, now in a different appearance, bowed respectfully to the other man. "The person has been brought."
"One at a time." The man tapped the table. To his right was an inconspicuous wooden box with a fist-sized hole in the lid.
Feng Lizhen's eldest son, Feng Meng, stepped forward and carefully inserted his fist.
"That's fine."
Feng Meng immediately withdrew his hand, his forehead already beaded with sweat.
After that, Feng Meng and Feng Mo did the same, waiting for the three of them to finish their tests.
The man said calmly, "Feng Mo, come with me."
The other two immediately slumped their shoulders, while Feng Mo was overjoyed.
The man in gray quickly led Feng Meng and Feng Meng away, while Feng Mo nervously followed the man into the secret passage.
"Bai Feng, keep up."
Bai Feng immediately transformed into a hummingbird and silently followed the hidden door into the secret passage before it closed.
Xiao Zhixing followed Bai Feng's aura on the ground.
"Xiao Xing, hurry, they're about to board the ship."
Xiao Zhixing leaped more than ten meters, chasing after his target like a phantom.
It was a pleasure boat. At the last moment, Xiao Zhixing jumped onto the second floor of the boat, just as it began to set sail.
"Don't be nervous."
There were only two boatmen on the pleasure boat, along with the mysterious man and Feng Mo.
Xiao Zhixing finally saw the man's face clearly.
Luo Xiuchuan?
No, this isn't Luo Xiuchuan, it's just someone who looks very much like Luo Xiuchuan. In fact, he looks more like the person she knows, about 80% like him.
If an acquaintance saw this face, even a fool would know they were related.
Feng Mo happened to have seen that person before, and at this moment he opened his eyes wide in shock, "Big..."
The mysterious man sneered, "Shut up, some words can get you killed if you say them out loud."
Feng Mo stopped talking in shock, his flickering eyes revealing that he was not calm.
"Should we arrest them?" Bai Feng asked.
"No need, you keep following him. This is the real big fish." This person did not have a subsystem.
He had just heard the man in gray call him "Young Master" again, so he must have a superior.
My eyes were fixed on the wooden box carried by the mysterious man. There were electromagnetic fluctuations inside. Was this the thing that tested one's physical constitution?
She's becoming increasingly interested in these people. The main system probably doesn't know yet that it's been betrayed by the subsystem.
She was very curious about the owner of this subsystem. How did he manage to evade the control of the main system?
Moreover, it seems the other party is no longer planning to hide, and has already attracted the attention of the main system.
Is there something they're relying on?
Having confirmed some things, Xiao Zhixing quietly left, leaving Bai Feng with them, while Hei Hu continued to follow the man in gray.
She went back and carefully reviewed Zhang Xiu's information, finally pointing to a document.
"Xiazhou, the Luo family!"
Could it be someone from this family? These people cause trouble without even changing their surnames? So arrogant?
She ordered the Ghost Guards to investigate, as the Luo family was highly suspicious.
Looking back, she's now certain that person knows about her past.
Then some of his behaviors seem quite normal; they are simply for self-preservation.
Without stopping all night, Xiao Zhixing set off for the palace as the live broadcast began in the morning, without feeling tired at all.
Go to take the final exam for the Gentleman's Academy.
It was at this moment that she finally got to hear the conversation between the Emperor System and Zhao Yunqi.
“If nothing unexpected happens, Xiao Zhixing will still be the champion. Have you thought about what to do?” Zhao Yunqi asked.
"Let her be the leader. I don't believe she can still be the leader for the next three years!" the Emperor System said through gritted teeth.
"Are you willing to give her designer brands?"
"I don't want to give it; I plan to give a counterfeit."
“No, those counterfeit products are different from the real brand-name items. Once she finds out, there will be no peace and quiet.” Zhao Yunqi frowned.
The Emperor System is currently in a state of self-isolation and anger.
Zhao Yunqi sighed, "At this point, what we should do is ensure the smooth implementation of the plan. As you said, the next three years will be the real test, and she has no chance of winning."
The Emperor System took a deep breath. "Okay! I understand."
It was so angry that it didn't want to say anything more.
Zhao Yunqi then asked, "Is it really up to them to choose?"
"This is also a test for them. They will have to bear the consequences of their choices and have no one to blame but themselves."
The conversation between the two ended there.
Xiao Zhixing wondered, what should he choose?
It can't be an object or a person.
It will take another three years. What takes three years to know the result?
Furthermore, this is a plan to select the future crown prince, which is essentially a talent selection process, and only the top thirteen can enter this stage.
What do they need to compete in to stand out from the crowd?
She roughly understood what they were going to do next.
Xiao Zhixing smiled, already confident of success.
In the main hall of Gansheng, officials stood solemnly, with examination tables and desks set up in the center.
After the matter escalated overnight, everyone in Shengjing was paying attention to the outcome, and many were speculating about the emperor's intentions.
The emperor's seriousness in this matter suggests there's more to it than meets the eye.
Xiao Zhixing was watching the candidates take the exam just two days ago, and today it's his turn.
She sat at the very front, facing the dragon throne, looking completely at ease, and even had the leisure to nod and greet the officials on both sides.
The others were a little reserved, especially the ones ranked lower.
There were also reckless individuals like Huo Baijun and Li Wenxiu, who were curiously observing this sacred place.
