He stared in disbelief at the door closing in front of him.

He, Wei Xichao, his father's favorite son, was actually ruthlessly rejected by his father? This can't be true! He scratched the door with a hundred claws, and said aggrievedly: "Dad, am I still your most beloved Xiaoqi?"

Crunch——

The door was opened from the inside.

Wei Ting's eyes lit up: "Dad——"

He was hung on the big locust tree.

Wei Liulang had just returned from outside after gathering information. When he entered the backyard, he was startled by seeing someone "hanged".

"Xiao Qi, what are you doing?"

Wei Ting was hanging on the branch, creaking and shaking.

He turned around and said helplessly, "Ask Dad."

Wei Liulang asked in a threatening manner.

Three seconds later, a pair of brothers in distress were hanging on the branch and swaying together with a creaking sound.

Gui Bu dressed himself up neatly today, looking handsome and heroic.

Last time, I dressed up as a woman, which was really eye-catching.

He was sure that he would not be beaten out by his father today.

Then he saw Xiaohu holding a gong.

His body trembled: "Why is this little stinky boy here?!"

Crunch——

The branch bears a weight that it should not bear.

There is only one left.

Wei Qing sat in a wheelchair, his eyes were red and filled with tears, like a helpless and sad leaf floating into a storm.

Wei Xu: I can’t do this…

Wei Xu returned to the house.

The three brothers hanging on the tree were stunned.

Is the second brother so shameless? Why didn't I notice it before?

After so many years of being brothers, I still misjudged you...

Wei Qing wiped his tears and smiled at the three brothers on the tree: "I'm going to look for Kankan."

The three brothers gritted their teeth.

It turns out that the one who deserves a beating the most is the second one!

Wei Xu sat back on the bed, his hands resting lightly on his knees, without saying a word.

My mind was in a mess, with strange images flashing through my mind that I couldn't catch.

It was like dusty memories breaking out of the ground, but were covered by thick fog.

Wei Xu's head began to ache as if it were exploding.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?"

The chirping sound of the little tiger woke Wei Xu up, and all his thoughts came to an abrupt end.

Wei Xu turned his head and looked at him.

Xiaohu has just struck the gong and doesn't want to strike it again.

He put the small bronze gong down and pounced on Wei Xu's legs. His calves were raised and swayed. "Grandpa, I want to go find the big axe, the second axe, and Sister Xiyue."

Li Wan is going out to buy some groceries today, and she will also take the children out for a walk so that they won't get bored at home.

Calling the first three went smoothly, but when it was Xiaohu's turn to get up, the little guy refused to get up and insisted on sleeping in.

There was no other choice, Li Wan had to take Xiyue, Dahu and Erhu with her first.

Xiaohu felt quite free and easy at first.

The huge yard now belonged to him alone, and no one would compete with him for the swing, the small gong, the suona and the small flower drum.

But after playing for a while, I felt bored again.

Wei Xu finally took Xiaohu out.

Xiaohu did want to find his sister and brother at first, but once he arrived at the bustling street, he immediately forgot about his sister and brother.

There was a person performing fire-breathing acrobatics in front, and there were crowds of people gathered around him, with bursts of applause and cheers coming from time to time.

Xiao Hu grabbed Wei Xu's clothes and jumped up on his short legs: "Look at the little axe! Look at the little axe!"

A big one and a small one came behind the crowd.

Little Tiger tried his best to suckle his breast.

Ah! I can’t squeeze in!

A powerful big hand lifted the little guy up.

As his body was lifted into the air, Xiaohu looked at the ground getting farther and farther away, and opened his eyes wide with excitement: "Wow——"

Wei Xu put Xiaohu on his neck.

Wei Xu was already a standout among the crowd, and with the little tiger riding on his neck, he was simply the most handsome kid on the street! The other children who were held in the arms of adults were envious.

Xiao Hu hugged Wei Xu's head and swayed on his shoulder, looking so proud! "Master, look!"

In front of a fortune-telling stall not far away, a guard pointed in the direction of the crowd.

The person he called "Young Master" was none other than Xiao Shunyang, who came to the royal capital under an assumed name.

Xiao Shunyang just arrived in the royal capital this morning. After finding an inn to stay in, he immediately came out to inquire about the news.

To be honest, he was unlucky. Wei Ting and his men killed those robbers, but they ended up taking the anger out on him and he encountered wave after wave of chasers along the way.

The group didn't give up until they were close to the royal capital.

Xiao Shunyang looked haggard.

He looked in the direction the guard pointed, but saw only a surging crowd of people: "What?"

"Wei Ting..." The guard looked again, but there was no trace of the little guy.

"Have you seen Wei Ting?" Xiao Shunyang asked with a frown.

The guard scratched his head and said, "I saw his son, riding on a man's neck. It should be Wei Ting."

Xiao Shunyang asked: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"This..." The guard was in a dilemma.

Xiao Shunyang asked again: "How many?"

The guard said, "One."

Xiao Shunyang said thoughtfully: "They are triplets, they won't be separated easily."

The guard had only taken a quick glance just now and felt that they somewhat resembled each other, but after being subconsciously influenced by what his own prince said, he suddenly felt that they were not so similar.

"Maybe... I saw it wrong."

The travel passes for Wei Ting and his group all depend on Xiao Shunyang. If they really want to come to the capital of Southern Xinjiang, they can only go as illegal immigrants, and that route will not be faster than his.

Unless they can get an official pass to southern Xinjiang.

But that's almost impossible.

You might be able to buy one or two for a lot of money, but a whole bunch... is simply a fantasy.

Xiao Shunyang suddenly became alert.

Several guards were instantly on alert.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

"We are being watched."

It was a terrifying and unfamiliar aura that made Xiao Shunyang, a prince from the royal family, feel a chill.

A guard asked, "Could it be that the group of people have chased into the capital again?"

Xiao Shunyang said: "It's not them."

He didn't know who it was, but his intuition told him that if he stayed any longer he might die.

He made a prompt decision: "It's not advisable to stay here for long, let's go back to the inn first!"

Xiao Shunyang hurried away with his guards.

Wei Xu came out of the alley carrying Xiaohu.

For the strongest people, turning from prey to hunter is just a blink of an eye.

Xiaohu was so anxious that he shook his body: "Grandpa, grandpa! Xiaofu needs to wait!"

…

Temple of the Holy Maiden.

The disciples who came to participate in the election sat at different tables in the open-air courtyard of the medicine pavilion.

Everyone was given a low table, a cushion, and a basket of randomly distributed medicinal herbs.

Each medicinal ingredient was tied with a rope and numbered.

They need to write the names of the herbs one by one on paper in order, and they will be eliminated if they make more than two mistakes.

It is worth mentioning that the herbs in each basket are not exactly the same, so copying answers will not work.

Directly opposite them were kneeling two elders of the Holy Maiden Temple.

On the left is Elder Yin, Old Master Yin’s younger sister and Yin Xiaodie’s great aunt.

The one on the right is Elder Lu, who is not from one of the four major families, but has some connection with the royal family.

In addition, there were several eunuchs supervising and patrolling around the exam to prevent anyone from cheating.

Yin Xiaodie sat next to Su Xiaoxiao.

She originally planned to finish her own answer first, and then help Su Xiaoxiao write the answer.

But when she looked into the basket, she was dumbfounded.

No way, it's that difficult?!

She had only written half of it when Su Xiaoxiao handed in her paper.

Yin Xiaodie looked at her in amazement.

Don't give up on yourself!

If you can’t answer it, I’ll answer it for you!

I admit that the question is a bit difficult...

It’s over, it’s over, the allies are going to be eliminated in the first round.

Cheng Qingxue looked at Su Xiaoxiao who was the first to hand in the herbs and answer sheet, and a trace of disdain flashed through her heart.

No matter how hard she pretends to be the daughter of the Cheng family, she is nothing more than a country bumpkin.

If a pheasant wants to turn into a phoenix, it’s just dreaming!

The position of Saint is not something that a lowly girl like you can get hold of! There is a ranking for each round of exams.

On the first day, the winner of the medical skills test is the one with the highest accuracy. However, if the number of correct answers is the same, the one who submits the paper first will win.

Cheng Qingxue was not in a hurry. It was obvious that the girl had filled in the names randomly. Her real opponents were Yue Qinghuan, Ji Roushu and Yin Xiaodie.

She was the second one to hand it in.

Next came Ji Roushu and Yue Qinghuan.

The youngest, Yin Xiaodie, is the most patient.

Now that her allies had given up, there was no need for her to rush.

She even started dating later than many women from the common people.

After identifying the medicinal materials, there is a second test on medical skills.

Taking the pulse of a real patient.

It’s also a draw, whichever you draw gets it.

Su Xiaoxiao drew Class 1.

Yin Xiaodie drew number B18.

Yin Xiaodie looked at Su Xiaoxiao with resentment: "Why didn't you wait for me just now? I would have done it for you! Why did you just write something and hand it in?"

"So you wrote it nonsense. Didn't you say you know medicine? And you came to the Saint Maiden Temple to get medicine for my aunt. Are you just trying to cheat?"

"Envoy Lu is here!"

A rich girl shouted.

Everyone turned around and bowed to Envoy Lu.

Envoy Lu smiled in return and came to Cheng Qingxue: "I have seen your test paper. You did well."

Cheng Qingxue said: "Doing well in the exam means——"

Envoy Lu deliberately ignored Su Xiaoxiao who was standing beside him, and said to Cheng Qingxue with a smile, "I didn't make a mistake in identifying a single herb."

On the other hand, relatives of the Ji family and the Yue family also came to report the news.

But judging from the frustrated looks on Yue Qinghuan and Ji Roushu's faces, they didn't do as well as Cheng Qingxue in the exam.

Envoy Lu had already looked at the test papers of the four people. Cheng Qingxue and Yin Xiaodie got all the answers right, but Cheng Qingxue handed in her paper before Miss Yin, so her final score would definitely be higher than Yin Xiaodie's.

There was nothing to worry about during the subsequent consultation.

The saint had already made all the arrangements.

Lu Changshi straightened Cheng Qingxue's sleeves and said, "Just wait to enter the second round as the first place."

Yin Xiaodie rolled her eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao asked her, "Is there any reward for first place?"

Yin Xiaodie was surprised and said, "Don't you know? If you are the first in every round, no matter whether you are worthy of becoming a saint in the end, you will get a reward from the Saint's Palace. If you don't want the reward, you can also exchange it for a treasure from the Saint's Palace."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Medicinal herbs are also OK?"

Yin Xiaodie: “Of course!”

"Where is the snake bone flower?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Yin Xiaodie thought for a moment and said, "Snake Bone Flower is also from the Saint Maiden Palace, so you can take it."

Su Xiaoxiao: Well, that sounds good.

The word count today is okay, it’s a long chapter.
