Upon hearing this, Shen Qian understood something. "So, this was their own initiative, and it wasn't recognized by other organizations?"
"Theoretically speaking, yes."
"If that's the case, then this arrest warrant is just a piece of waste paper. What impact will it have on me?" Shen Qian said disdainfully.
"But it's not that simple."
Song Ye sighed, "Although the Martial Arts Department is gradually declining, at least until it is officially abolished, it still has its own voice..."
"Or to put it another way, the transfer of power takes time, and the Ministry of Martial Law still retains some of its authority."
"For example, the blacklist. This ancient bounty list was extremely important back then, but if you are on this list, your life will still encounter many inconveniences."
"And right now, what affects you the most is college admissions."
Shen Qian raised an eyebrow. "You mean because of this list, those universities won't dare to admit me?"
"It's natural to have reservations, after all, not everyone knows the truth!"
"...I understand." Shen Qian stared blankly for a few seconds, then nodded slightly, very calmly.
Seeing that Chen Qian didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the situation, Song Ye became anxious. "I know you might think there's no way to solve it for the time being, but that's not the case. I came here to ask you if the Marquis of Jingcheng has asked you anything?"
"Teacher?" Shen Qian was taken aback.
Although he had already made some guesses, Song Ye was still shocked to hear Shen Qian admit it himself.
They had some old, sealed documents inside the police station, which Song Ye only had the opportunity to look through after he was promoted. Among those vague documents, at least one thing was certain.
Marquis Jingcheng, Gao Wenyuan... is a person who has directly fought against the first generation of the Ninth Prince!
King, Duke, Marquis, Earl!
Marquis Jingcheng may seem to be only in the third rank, but his true strength is definitely more than that.
Hearing Shen Qian admit it, Song Ye felt much relieved and hurriedly told Shen Qian to go find the Marquis of Jingcheng for help.
"Forget it, there's no need to find the teacher," Shen Qian shook his head.
“Shen Qian, this is not the time to act rashly, you…”
Song Ye was about to persuade them again when suddenly a bright light shone in from outside the window, startling both of them.
Many exclamations rang out in the neighborhood. Shen Qian went to the window and looked out. He saw that everyone was looking up at the sky with surprise on their faces, but they didn't know what had happened.
"Let's go to the rooftop and take a look."
Shen Qian looked up but couldn't see what was in the sky, so he called out to Song Ye and went out first.
Song Ye quickly followed, and soon the two of them reached the rooftop of Building 3.
The old building was only six stories high. Although it wasn't very tall, it offered a wide view. As soon as Shen Qian stepped onto the rooftop, he frowned.
Because from his ears, many hallucinatory murmurs appeared.
But when he listened intently, the sounds became clearer.
"Shen Qian's behavior is really despicable. He actually gave us the middle finger!"
"Judging from his self-deprecating look, he probably really failed the exam..."
"Actually, there's no need to blame Shen Qian. Don't you think about how many years it's been since Jingcheng produced a top scholar? The environment is also very important!"
"..."
A variety of chaotic sounds seemed to come from different corners, flooding into his ears.
This is……
Shen Qian was stunned for a moment, then realized that the voices came from all the residents of the city outside.
Perhaps it was because of the gathering of fortune that he was able to hear part of it.
"Sinking forward, what is that?"
Before he could think it through, Song Ye's surprised voice brought him back to his senses.
He walked quickly to the edge of the rooftop and looked up.
In the clear summer sky, a large, dazzling halo of light enveloped them, or rather, the sky above the Happiness Community.
Shen Qian was initially startled, thinking that it was also a "door," but then realized that he was being a bit paranoid.
This is inside Jingcheng, so where is the "gate"?
Moreover, upon closer inspection, one can see that the halo is different from that seen in the restricted area. It has no eerie aura whatsoever, and the seven colors seem to have been carefully designed, exuding a strange sense of joy and peace.
The halo of light drifted slowly, lingering over the Happiness Community, as if searching for something.
Until the halo of light drifted directly above the three buildings.
The halo suddenly surged rapidly, and then exploded with a bang above Shen Qian and Song Ye's heads.
Before the two could react, petals of flowers, some pure white, some bright red, and some deep blue, began to fall from the sky.
In just a moment, countless flowers covered the rooftops of the three buildings.
Meanwhile, countless colorful flowers continued to fall from the sky, gradually forming a beautiful vortex that danced around the three rooftops, or more accurately, around the boy standing on the rooftop.
This auspicious sight shocked everyone, and at that moment, everyone finally noticed Shen Qian standing on the edge of the rooftop.
"That was... before the sinking?"
"Where did those flowers come from, and why are they circling around him?"
Professional instincts prompted all the reporters to turn on their cameras, while some thoughtfully pulled out their wristbands and opened web search engines.
"I found it! I found it!"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man excitedly raised his bracelet and shouted.
"This is a 'heavenly flower shower,' a spiritual phenomenon that only a top-ranking scholar could trigger!"
The scene was silent for a moment, then became noisy again.
"What 'over-the-top' claims?"
"Who are you calling the top scholar? Is it Shen Qian?"
"The top scholar in the civil service exam? Wasn't he supposed to be a candidate specializing in martial arts?"
“It’s really a ‘bombshell’ story. I found a news article from twelve years ago. At that time, Jingcheng also produced a top scholar in the civil service exam, which triggered this ‘bombshell’ story.”
Shock, bewilderment, and confusion lingered in everyone's hearts.
Only Song Ye realized something first. He silently withdrew from the rooftop, leaving this moment, which would surely be recorded in the history of Jingcheng, to Shen Qian alone.
Before everyone could figure out what had happened, a loud laugh suddenly came from the distance in the sky.
"The Education Department of the First Province in Southwest China congratulates Shen Qian on achieving the top score in the liberal arts examination!"
"Today, we erect a monument and a memorial arch for our classmate Shen Qian, so that his memory may be passed down to future generations!"
As laughter echoed, four men in formal attire, beaming with smiles and exuding an imposing aura emerged from the clouds and arrived above the Happiness Residential Area in the blink of an eye.
One person beats the gong, one person carries the monument, one person carries the plaque, and one person carries the building on their back.
At this moment, not only were the people below dumbfounded, but even Chen Qian was stunned for a moment.
Walking on air.
These four people who came to offer their congratulations... were all from the mountains and seas!
