Chapter 260: A Scream
She let out a cry and fell forward. Even though Chunyu Zhuo wanted to save her, he was powerless.
The next second, she fell into an embrace.
"younger sister!"
Xu Zhiyi's voice came.
Liang Huanxue looked at the man who had become much darker: "Brother Zhiyi?"
"It's me." Xu Zhiyi kissed Liang Huanxue's cheek. "Luckily I arrived in time, otherwise Sister Xiaoxue's pretty face would have been broken."
Liang Huanxue: "..."
I didn't feel like I was being taken advantage of, and in fact, I didn't feel any turmoil at all because of the age of the person in front of me.
She jumped out of Xu Zhiyi's arms, and belatedly patted her dust-free dress.
Xu Zhiyi grabbed Liang Huanxue again: "Sister, sister, where are you going? The competition? I want to go too. I'll take you there."
Having said that, without waiting for Liang Huanxue's response, he took her hand and left.
However, Liang Huanxue's short legs couldn't take a long step, so she could only be dragged forward.
She was in so much pain that she quickly stopped him: "Brother Zhiyi, please slow down. I can't keep up."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi turned around and looked at Liang Huanxue, then squatted in front of her: "It's okay, come up, I'll carry you."
Liang Huanxue hesitated. She was an adult at heart after all. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for her to be carried on the back of a little kid?
Even though I was thinking this, my body was already feeling the pain.
The little guy is still chattering.
"Sister, sister, I'm very strong, I can carry ten of you without any problem."
Behind him, Chun Yuzhuo slowly stepped out and said, "Xu Zhiyi, where are you taking Xiaoxue?"
"Um?"
Xu Zhiyi paused, lifted Liang Huanxue up, then slowly turned around and looked at Chunyu Zhuo, smiling innocently, "Cousin is here too. I'm just about to take Xiaoxue to the competition. Would you like to come with me?"
His words and deeds were all meant to declare sovereignty, and his attitude of tit-for-tat was quite strong. There was no trace of the joy he had shown towards Chunyu Zhuo before they met.
Chun Yuzhuo raised his eyebrows, smiling, "Cousin, do you want to compete again?"
Xu Zhiyi thought of that competition and immediately shook his head like a toss: "No, you are older than me, it would be unfair if you win."
Chun Yuzhuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are a mixed bag of people, you can't protect her."
As he said this, he walked forward and tried to hug Liang Huanxue over.
But Xu Zhiyi didn't give her any chance at all, "Why not? I know the place better than you, and I know my sister better than you do, so I can definitely lead her better than you."
Liang Huanxue almost laughed out loud when she heard this.
【It's rare for the little boy to suffer in front of others. 】
Chunyu Zhuo's face was dark and gloomy. He reached out to hug Liang Huanxue, but Xu Zhiyi refused to let him. In a rage, he ran away with Liang Huanxue on his back.
Liang Huanxue was immediately frightened.
Xu Zhiyi is still young. Will something bad happen if he carries her on his back like this?
Fortunately, although Xu Zhiyi is young, he is very reliable and did not let her fall.
Xu Zhiyi ran with Liang Huanxue on his back for a long time until he could no longer see Chunyu Zhuo, and then he put her down.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, his little face was red, and he looked very cute: "Sister, sister, are you okay?"
Liang Huanxue shook her head. Seeing him like this, she couldn't help but feel distressed: "I'm fine, Brother Zhiyi, are you tired?"
"Not tired." Xu Zhiyi smiled and took Liang Huanxue's hand again, "Come on, I'll take you to the competition site. It's very lively there."
The competition site is still some distance away.
Liang Huanxue looked at the long street in front of her and fell silent.
If the two of them continue like this, how long will it take for them to last?
Perhaps he could see her concern, Xu Zhiyi approached her mysteriously: "Sister, I have a secret weapon, wait for me here."
Having said that, he turned around and ran away without waiting for Liang Huanxue to respond.
Not long after, a horse-drawn carriage drove over. Xu Zhiyi grabbed the carriage with one hand, leaned out half of his body, and waved at Liang Huanxue excitedly.
"Sister, sister, get in the car quickly."
Xu Zhiyi reached out to pull Liang Huanxue, but she hesitated and finally let go of his hand.
The carriage sped along and soon arrived at the competition site.
However, as soon as they got off the carriage, they were surrounded by a group of people.
"Young Master, the city lord wants you to pass."
The leader was a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and a stern face. He was not very afraid of the young master Xu Zhiyi.
Xu Zhiyi shrank his neck, but didn't dare to talk back.
This man is the steward of the City Lord's Mansion and an old man in the Mansion. He has had a stern face since he was a child. Even Xu Zhiyi, the little devil, feels a little scared when he meets him.
He called out politely, "Uncle Xu."
Liang Huanxue also shouted.
When Butler Xu saw Liang Huanxue, his expression melted immediately: "Young Miss, the City Lord and his wife are waiting in front."
As early as when the two of them left the house, someone came here in advance to inform the city lord, and the whereabouts of the two could not be kept secret.
Butler Xu walked in front and brought the two people to the city lord.
As soon as the city lord saw Xu Zhiyi, his face turned dark.
"How old are you to have no sense of responsibility? If something happens when you are with your sister, who will be responsible?"
Wei Rou quickly pulled her husband and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's talk about it when we get back."
The competition site was packed with people, and many people were staring at this place, which was indeed not very suitable.
The city lord suppressed his emotions and said, "I'll deal with you when I get back."
Because today's competition is a written test, there is no arena. There are only rows of tables and chairs in the center of the venue for the contestants to use.
The audience gathered around, standing or sitting, finding a comfortable spot on their own.
Liang Huanxue and her group sat at the front row, where the view was the best and they could take in the entire situation at a glance.
"This competition is intended to select talents."
The city lord's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present. "So, I hope you can all do your best to show your talents and abilities."
He paused, and scanned everyone present. "Of course, if anyone dares to cheat in such an occasion, don't blame me for being rude."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was shocked.
Although they knew that this competition would not be easy, they did not expect the city lord to treat it so seriously and even threaten them.
However, this also makes this competition a little more tense and solemn.
The written test began and people started to take their seats.
Liang Huanxue couldn't help but feel a little worried when she saw her eldest brother's pale face, but she also knew that she couldn't disturb her eldest brother at this time.
The questions for the written test were set by the city lord himself. There were three questions in total, testing the contestants' poetry and songwriting, economic strategy, and current affairs.
Liang Weijiang has his own ideas about answering questions. He would first read through all the questions, leave aside the ones he didn't know the answer to, and then fill in the ones he was confident about.
However, when he was writing the second question, something strange happened.
"Sir, I report Liang Weijiang for cheating."
A sudden sound rang out, breaking the silence at the scene.
