"What a kid, getting a good deal and acting all high and mighty!"
"Mother!! That ball of hair..."
"Shut up... youre messing around!"
"Brother Law..."
"Ah... well, child, why bother with them... calm down—oh, alright, alright, I wont say more..."
" groan !"
Seeing the boy cheating and even inviting a foreigner to help, the little princess was furious. At this moment, the girl, who had been deluded, appealed again to her mother, who was also in charge of the experience.
To her surprise, such a just action was met with the scolding of the tiger mother. As a result, the girl lost control again. She looked at her childhood friend, who was paying attention to her emotions, with a face full of grievance and pitifulness.
Fortunately, this time the Emperor, standing beside the cat father, couldnt bear to watch any longer— Youre being too harsh, arent you? We need to smooth things over, he said earnestly. With a knowing glance, he gestured to his daughter, You should be more self-aware.
Although the fathers love did alleviate some of the awkwardness, it was still a drop in the bucket. Soon, the Holy Queen turned around angrily and continued to stare straight ahead without a word. However, for the little princess, although her mother did not scold her again, her silence left the girl with tears in her eyes.
Hearing the noise on the other side, Ah Jun looked at the sky and glanced at his shoulder. He sighed helplessly. "What can I do now? The moon is almost over!"
" chirp ..."
His mind was already filled with anxiety, clearly lacking any good solution. Just as the child turned back, struggling alone, the wool ball had already shifted its perspective. No longer peering at the person, it drooped its eyes and muttered, looking somewhat displeased...
—Then its all my fault... You silly boy, no wonder that girl was so angry with you! Oh well, let me decide...
—Xiner, is that man really a little girl who can point and point?
Remember, the one you call a malevolent visitor is the king of the birds, the guardian of the Sacred Realm of Zhuque, and even the Divine Sword of Zhuque holds it in high regard! How could you, mere child, dare to speak of such a being...
"Look, dont judge by appearances! Though not a bird, this Zhuque Hall is certainly not something you can discuss. Besides, you think this hall is something that can be summoned at will? Its been here since its founding, you just havent seen it yet!"
—Think back to those days, I was the youngest in Zhuque Countys history to complete the trial. What a glorious honor that was, yet I still couldnt win its favor. If I hadnt finally earned the Emperors Swords approval and obtained the Spirit-Link qualification, I might never have met it. But this kid not only made it appear automatically, he even dared to...
The Empress, who had been closely monitoring Ah Juns conduct, grew increasingly irritated and anxious, harboring deep reservations. To these experts, the boys current predicament not only posed no challenge to his training but, from another perspective, seemed almost like divine assistance!
Thats why even a big shot like the Queen of England couldnt help feeling a little envious when she saw it.
Yet luck is only one thing; at least we should know better. But that foolish boy went against the grain! Could it be that the privileges of this son of fate are truly so capricious?
— Well, indeed!
Then, right before everyones eyes, the gentleman suddenly stretched and yawned, tears welling up in his eyes. He immediately wiped his cheeks and began grooming the three long hairs on his head...
"Ha? Then the wool ball is in the mani!"
In the blink of an eye, with Xiao Xis astonished gaze, San Mao was swiftly styled into an orchid leaf shape, and the entire ball of hair looked like a keychain—well, perfect!
It was already light and the training time was coming to an end. Ah Jun, who looked like he was still staring blankly, was already pumped up. There was no time left. I had to try again. I couldnt give up!
But imagination is beautiful. Ah Juns innocence meant nothing to the birds. Why should I care? Just as the child was about to exert himself, the flock of birds suddenly approached on their own initiative, then bowed their heads and cried out in unison... Ee!
—Whats going on... Looks like theyre apologizing to me? But this is too much—theres no way theyre even embarrassed... Oh no! You... Wait, youre flying away... What am I supposed to do?
Just as Ah Jun was flustered by the birds antics and tried to act polite before moving on, the flock suddenly turned and started running—leaving him utterly flustered. The training... looked like it was going to fall through.
However, the next second, the moment of miracle witnessed again arrived!
At this point, the ball of wool beside it was even more calm and at ease, looking very happy--then, it waved its wings so lightly, and the birds swooped away!
—No, what are you doing? Why are you driving them away... What am I supposed to do? This... No, no, I need to find a way to fight for it again!
"Very well... come with me to the feast!"
Ah ha... Over with, good thing! Hmph, I knew this kid couldnt make it!
Hey, you... no, Aunt... um, the Queen... what about Ah Jun?
"What... do I have to invite you?"
"Ah? No, then his experience..."
Oh, you silly boy, my aunt said so, how can you not turn the corner... He succeeded!
"What? This... is impossible!! The Empress..."
"Damn! After all, they broke the rules first. Lets forgive him. Hmm? What? Not hungry... Xin er!"
Just as Ah Jun was about to complete the accumulation of strength and achieve it at one stroke, a good news that made him puzzled and yet filled with joy entered his ears...
The queen turned, flicked her sleeve with one hand, and invited the saintess to join her at the palace dinner, reminding the others to do the same. Her reaction left everyone puzzled...
And the long-awaited little princess, her first reaction was-the time to train is up, the boy did not complete, of course failed, so the mother called everyone to leave.
— Hmm... Though theres no drama to watch, the outcome is still good. Hmph! You pervert, let me spy on you!
Of course, Xiao Xi, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, did not think so. He was definitely the one who cared most about Ah Jun. After hearing this result, Xiao Xi could not agree with it. So the child bravely asked for advice, hoping that the Queen could give Ah Jun a chance.
But the children got an ambiguous answer. Xiao Xi had to ask again, even if there was no answer, after a look at Ninger.
Fortunately, at this time, the uncle standing beside him gave him a pill of mixed brand to calm his mind. Although he did not dare to believe it, it was probably not false.
Then, after getting the queens reluctant approval, even Ah Juns heart was calmed down gradually. He cancelled the action plan and stayed where he was, still a little incredulous.
As for the little princess, she was on the verge of collapse from repeated surprises and disappointments--but even her mother, the authoritative person in charge, had agreed, so what was she to say?
When she saw the boy had actually passed the test ahead of her, the girl felt indignant. Even if Ah Jun had just passed the bird flocks violation by luck, it couldnt ease her frustration, because it was just like the martial arts test before, it was just a trick!
Come on... Xin er, in terms of completion, he cant compare with you!
—Ah? Hmm... Ha! Yeah, Ill definitely outperform him then! That guy cant even find a sparrow partner—just some random ball of hair. Whats the point?
Besides, he cleared this level because the flock of birds accidentally broke the rules, which is unfair. Im the one whos supposed to perfect this training... Hmph, well see!
"Um... Brother Law, lets go! Hmph..."
As the trial concluded, everyone began leaving the Zhuque Hall to prepare for dinner. Though the young princess had somewhat calmed down after Yuwen Lus reminder, she still felt uneasy since Ah Jun had also completed his trial. What infuriated her most was that the rascal kept dragging his feet, refusing to leave. This kind of people who try to act superior when they get a chance was just unbearable to watch!
--Well... indeed!
At this moment, Ah Jun was really a little hesitant, because this success was a little illogical--so, he slowly crossed the log bridge from the middle of the lake, with the ball of hair, walked for a long time before coming to his friend.
Of course, Xiao Xi wasnt so conflicted. Xiao Pangdun, visibly moved, hugged Ah Jun and cheered joyfully. Ning er then stepped forward bravely to congratulate him, sharing in his happiness.
Although she only smiled a little, she had broken through and trusted and expected the boy.
"Ah Jun... Finally done, haha... I knew you could do it!"
Congratulations, you... Ah Jun!
"Well... its done, thank you for your concern!"
"Xiao Jun, you are so good!"
"Ah... Thank you, Uncle Li. But I dont think I did anything. How did I pass?"
Oh, brother, youre acting all superior now... If that girl heard you, shed be furious, haha—Hmm? Why is that ball still here? Its your partner now?
Oh, no? I dont know. Maybe it scared the birds away and felt guilty about it.
Oh, yeah, haha... Yeah, just a little hairball, and youre so proud of yourself. I guess you cant help much anyway!
" chirp ..."
"Um... right..."
—haha... @#¥%&
