Chapter 18
Ming Qiao's lively little face caught Du Sheng's eyes, and the latter found it extremely annoying.
He sneered and walked closer to Ming Qiao: "Just because you slept well last night doesn't mean you can sleep well tonight."
He went to check the woodshed this morning, but Mingqiao was no longer there.
He didn't know how Mingqiao left, but he knew that next time, Mingqiao would not be so lucky.
The two stood face to face, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Just when Du Sheng was about to do something, the aunt from the cafeteria called out from behind.
"Qiao Qiao, come here."
The aunt in the cafeteria called Ming Qiao over and stuffed him with hot meat patties and vegetable porridge: "Eat it while it's hot. The other children have finished eating, and you are the only one who came late."
The pancakes my aunt gave me were baked by herself, and were stuffed with plenty of meat and mushrooms.
Ming Qiao loves to eat this.
His cheeks were swollen from eating so much, and there were meat crumbs at the corners of his mouth.
His aunt looked at him with a smile and brought him more medicine.
"Put the medicine in your storage ring and drink it after dinner."
"Yes! Thank you, auntie."
Mingqiao bit the biscuit and thanked her aunt with a smile.
When aunt saw him smile, the smile on her face deepened.
The scene of a big and a small person beside the food stall looks warm and harmonious.
Du Sheng hated watching such scenes the most.
His drowned brother was the same when he was alive. He would smile with his eyes curved when he saw people and spoke softly, which made everyone think he was innocent and cute.
"Du Sheng, have you noticed that Mingqiao is really liked by adults? I know this aunt has a bad temper, but recently she has either been cooking for Mingqiao or taking the trouble to make medicine for him."
"Tsk, she is raising Mingqiao as her son."
"Not only this aunt, but also the gatekeeper, Old Ge, feels sorry for Mingqiao. He passed me a note, saying that we are not allowed to bully Mingqiao."
The people around Du Sheng were talking to each other.
During the testing period, they tacitly formed a small group.
In this small group, Du Sheng has the highest status.
He comes from a royal family, and there are many cultivators in his family, so he has no shortage of resources.
The reward he was aiming for in this competition was not some magical flower or herb, elixir or secret method, but the opportunity to enter the Lintian Sect and become an inner disciple.
The Lintian Sect does not often accept disciples, and even if it does, they mostly accept them into the outer sect first.
Du Sheng not only wanted to get the position of inner disciple, he also planned to become Qing Heng's disciple.
Now, his plan has been disrupted by Ming Qiao.
It is conceivable that he would not tolerate Ming Qiao.
"Okay, let's go test it."
Next to the food stall, the aunt wiped Mingqiao's face with a wet towel and then urged him to leave.
Ming Qiao is already in the third round of testing.
The third round of testing is to enter the small world of the void mirror and explore your own adventures.
In the small world, there are spiritual treasures related to the five elements of heaven and earth. Those who obtain the spiritual treasures or whose spiritual roots are nourished will get extra points.
After Ming Qiao had his fill, he entered his little world alone.
Not long after he stepped into the small world, Bai Yu, who was waiting at the gate of the villa, saw a man who had just arrived.
"You Qing, why are you here?"
Bai Yu was stunned and looked behind him carefully.
There was no one behind him.
"Brother, I'm looking for Qiao Qiao."
You Qing was wearing a black suit, with his hair neatly tied up, revealing his handsome face.
He had a wooden sword on his waist and a purse.
Seeing Baiyu, he took off his purse and handed it to him: "My eldest brother asked me to bring it to you."
Ming Qiao disappeared not long ago, and Bai Yu sent a letter back.
Now You Qing has come here, probably because he is worried about Ming Qiao.
"Where did you get so much money, Senior Brother?"
"He and Third Senior Brother earned it."
You Qing didn't say much. After delivering the message for his two senior brothers, he asked again, "Where is Qiao Qiao?"
"He's doing tests inside. He hasn't come out for several days."
Bai Yu becomes worried when Ming Qiao is mentioned.
"All the children being tested here are much older than him. He's so small, I don't know if he will be bullied."
"Can I come in?" You Qing asked.
Bai Yu thought about it for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know either."
You Qing had missed the registration period for the test, so it was definitely impossible for him to take the test like other children.
But at his age, maybe he could get in.
The two brothers looked at each other, and the next second, they walked aside together.
"There's only one gatekeeper at the back door of the villa, but there are many gatekeepers at the front."
"The gatekeeper at the back door is an elderly man, I heard his name is Lao Ge. He sits there dozing off all day long, as if he can't wake up."
Bai Yu lowered his voice and warned, "Be careful. If it doesn't work, turn back and we'll continue to wait here."
Bai Yu gave a lot of instructions, but You Qing just said "hmm" and turned away.
Bai Yu looked at his small figure and couldn't help but sighed, "Alas, he is so handsome, but not as cute as Qiao Qiao."
If Qiao Qiao talked to him, he would definitely be soft and obedient.
This little junior brother is still too cold!
You Qing, who was criticized by his senior brother for not being soft at all, has now found the back door.
There are many trees planted at the back door.
You Qing hid behind a tree and observed quietly.
He just said a few words to Bai Yu and then left, so Bai Yu might not have discovered that his useless spiritual roots could now be used.
He found an ancient book in the back mountain. On the yellowed book, there was a page that talked about how to cultivate useless spiritual roots.
Wasted spiritual roots, literally, means that good spiritual roots are wasted and become useless.
To cultivate useless spiritual roots is to use these useless spiritual roots that are like dead wood, add secret methods, and then use them.
This process is not easy.
When You Qing was practicing, he had to open up the blocked meridians over and over again.
There were several times when he felt so miserable that he couldn't bear it any longer.
But thinking about the little one still inside the door, he gritted his teeth, endured the tremendous pain, and got through it.
The senior brothers in the sect seem to be very nice.
But he was still worried and left Ming Qiao to them.
He doesn't trust anyone, he only trusts himself.
He stood quietly behind the tree for a long time, and then You Qing moved.
He headed towards the inconspicuous wall and climbed over it.
He flipped over three times in total, and each time he was bounced back heavily and fell down heavily.
The fourth time, he went straight to the back door.
"Is Ming Qiao in there?"
He asked the dozing Old Ge, "I'm his brother, can I go see him?"
Lao Ge drank wine from a broken gourd and ignored him.
You Qing glanced at the small tassels hanging on his broken gourd, pursed his lips, stepped out, and continued to climb over the wall.
This time, he was not bounced away.
He climbed in smoothly.
You Qing climbed over the wall, his eyes were filled with darkness.
He could recognize the small tassels hanging on Lao Ge's wine gourd; they belonged to Ming Qiao.
Lao Ge and Ming Qiao should have a good relationship.
Lao Ge let him in. As perceptive as he was, he immediately realized that Ming Qiao was here and was afraid that he had encountered some problems.
He sneaked in with a stern and handsome face.
Ming Qiao, who was still testing, had no idea that his brother was here.
He is very angry.
He has many spiritual roots, but he has never practiced them. It is a bit difficult for him to sense the five elements of spiritual treasures now.
He put in a lot of effort and finally found a wood-type spiritual treasure, a lump of wood, but it was stolen by someone else!
The one who intercepted him was someone from Du Sheng's small team.
Before he could take the wooden block away, the other party snatched it away and ran away, not giving him any chance to get it back.
And since it was not taken directly from him, it was not against the rules.
These people took advantage of loopholes in the rules and intercepted one magical treasure after another that he had worked so hard to discover.
After suffering setbacks one after another in his little world, Mingqiao's face was covered in dust when he came out. His originally clean clothes were also covered in dust after he fell while chasing someone.
It is understandable that when such a dusty cub came out, he was surrounded by people.
"Uh, so the five spiritual roots are so useless? Didn't find any spiritual treasures?"
"I used to think that having five spiritual roots was something amazing, but now it seems that they are just so-so."
"I think he can't compare to Du Sheng's three spiritual roots."
Mingqiao heard all the mocking words. He raised his hand to wipe his dirty little face and snorted coldly.
"Shame on you! You are all shameless villains!"
Steal Qiao Qiao's magic treasure and also bully Qiao Qiao!
Ming Qiao's face was puffed up with anger. After scolding the bad guy, he ran to the library.
He was so angry that he forgot to go to the cafeteria to get dinner and medicine.
Watching Mingqiao running away, the group of children continued to mock him.
Finally, a □□ child pouted and said, "You should stop now. Five spiritual roots mean that he will have many ways to practice in the future, but it doesn't mean that he can be so powerful if he doesn't practice."
"How old is he? How old are you? You are addicted to bullying children."
After □□er finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and left.
In the darkness, You Qing stared at the faces of several children with his pair of dark eyes.
After a while, he caught up with a child named Du Sheng.
You Qing didn't go to find Ming Qiao.
Therefore, Ming Qiao, who ran back to the library, had no idea that his brother was now in the same annex as him.
He climbed to the sixth floor and sat on the stairs, not going any further.
The book spirit floated beside him, seeing that his little face was dirty and his clothes were torn, and he turned around anxiously.
"Baby."
He wanted to call the baby, but was afraid of scaring the baby.
The baby was so beautiful before going out, how come she became like this after going out!
The book spirit was extremely anxious.
Mingqiao sat on the steps with a gloomy look on his face.
He told his mother this morning that he wanted to get first place.
As a result, needless to say, he got no points in today's test. He might not get any points tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after that either.
This round of testing will be over soon.
He can't take first place.
Thinking of this possibility, Ming Qiao sniffed and his eyes turned red.
The book spirit saw that his eyes were red and rushed up without thinking.
"Qingheng, the baby is crying!"
The book spirit screamed in panic, adding fuel to the fire and using his imagination: "I said these kids are not good! The baby was bullied, he was beaten, and he was beaten to tears!"
Under the book spirit's exaggeration, the kid sitting downstairs sulking is simply a miserable little wretch!
The author has something to say:
Brother: Bullying my baby? I will punish you one by one.
——
Woohoo, darlings, please don't stay up late. I stayed up late for three nights, and my period came early, and I was in pain for two days! From now on, I will write updates during the day, and never stay up late again!
