Chapter 16 The Genius Sweeps Across the Imperial Capital
…
"Fourth Grandpa, Fourth Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" While Wang Shouzhe was in a trance, Wang Yingqi's crisp voice sounded, "If you feel that our [Genius Girls Mutual Aid Alliance] is not suitable, then we will disband it."
"This... there's no need for it." Wang Shouzhe said nonchalantly, but secretly thought that this kind of girl group playing like a house would soon fall apart internally and disappear.
Wait... is there the word "beautiful" in the previous name Qiqi mentioned?
"Great, now that Fourth Grandpa agrees, our [Invincible Genius Girls Mutual Aid Alliance] can be officially established." Wang Yingqi cheered.
There were two junior girls who also cheered.
Wang Shouzhe's eyelids twitched.
Qiqi, this little broken girl, is really good at climbing along the pole. What do you mean I agreed? Seeing how happy you are, have you forgotten that you are still tied up by me?
How could Shouyong give birth to such a granddaughter after being so honest and courteous all his life?
Immediately, he laughed and said: "Qiqi, in a few years you and Yingxuan will go to the Holy Land to study and practice. Aren't you happy?"
"Happy." Wang Yingqi smiled brightly.
"Qiqi, look, our Changning Wang family is just a small sixth-grade family. To those high-ranking families, we are just a small rural clan." Wang Shouzhe said earnestly, "When you and Yingxuan go to the Holy Land, We must give credit to our Wang family, and we cannot let others look down upon our Wang family."
"Well, Fourth Grandpa, Qiqi will definitely work hard to let those scornful guys in the Holy Land know how powerful our Wang family is." Wang Yingqi said with a serious and solemn face.
"That's good, Fourth Grandpa is optimistic about you~"
As Wang Shouzhe said this, he smiled and began to take out various ancient poetry collections, as well as the textbooks and simulation volumes he had carefully compiled.
"These, these, and those are all yours. Every month, come to Grandpa Fourth's small courtyard to take the exam. If you pass the exam, you will be rewarded, if you fail, you will be punished."
"What!"
Wang Yingqi was stunned as if struck by a thunderbolt.
She wanted to run, but she couldn't get anywhere because she was tied up. As more and more books were stuffed into her arms, her heart sank deeper and deeper, and her whole heart felt cold.
She knew that when Fourth Grandpa said he was going to take the exam, he really wanted to take the exam. There would be absolutely no adulteration, and there was absolutely no way he could pass the exam by fooling around. Fourth Grandpa would never joke about this.
For a moment, Wang Yingqi shed "touched" tears.
This is also the reason why Grandpa Fourth’s title of “Big Devil” has been passed down from generation to generation.
Except for Wang Yingqi, none of the other little children can escape the clutches of the "big devil".
"Wang Meijing, you are the eldest sister of the 'Mei' generation. Although you are the only one in the 'Mei' generation now, you must lead the way for the 'Mei' generation behind you. You must be like the eldest sister Li Ci back then. Work as hard as your head." Wang Shouzhe said earnestly and stuffed a bunch of basic subjects into the arms of nine-year-old Wang Meijing, as well as ancient Chinese poems to improve cultural literacy, etc.
"Woo~ Thank you for your concern, ancestor." Wang Meijing also shed "touched" tears.
When she is the eleventh generation, because the generation gap is too big, when facing the seventh generation of the Wang family such as the "Shou" generation and the "Luo" generation, they are already directly called ancestors.
Just like Wang Shouzhe calls the third generation Wang Longyan, he also often calls his ancestor.
"Ning Hui, you are the eldest brother of the 'Ning' generation, so you must take the lead." Wang Shouzhe gave Wang Ninghui a bunch of enlightenment readings.
The boy was only four years old, with a runny nose and a confused face.
"Wang Xuanyi, this is your share."
"Wang Ansong, Wang Anze, Wang Xuanyu, Wang Xuanqin, don't lower your heads. The Fourth Old Master will never be partial." Wang Shouzhe knew every one of the younger members of the family, and they knew every family treasure.
Like the wind in spring, he warmly cares for every member of the family, leaving no one behind.
Every child felt the care and earnest encouragement from their elders, and all of them burst into tears of joy, bursting into tears, and were so excited that they could not be expressed in words.
This makes Wang Shouzhe very happy. Our Wang children are indeed good children full of fighting spirit. They all responded with tears in their eyes to the kind care of Wang Shouzhe, a big parent.
Well, what a group of good kids! This is the foundation for Wang's future prosperity.
Encouragement is complete.
Those spiritual plant tentacles shrank into the ground one after another and disappeared without a trace.
Wang Shouzhe held the teapot and took a sip of the good tea from time to time. After shaking it three times, he continued to patrol the house in a particularly comfortable mood to see if he could bring the love of the elders to the next wave of children.
When Wang Shouzhe's figure completely disappeared in the corner, the crying dolls all fell to the ground, holding a lot of books, and began to cry loudly.
They cried so sadly, so sadly.
Some older children also poked their heads out of the corner, with a bit of schadenfreude in their eyes, but also a bit of bitterness and nostalgia.
I think that’s how they came here at the beginning~~
How can one be considered a "qualified" member of the Wang clan if they have not enjoyed the loving care of the "Great Demon King"?
…
Not to mention the chores at Wang's main residence.
Wang Liyao, who was far away in the capital and returned to Longcheng, lived a wonderful life in the following days.
Prince Heng, who had already understood the "real" business methods, quickly dismantled the arena that was originally used for dancing and eating, replaced it with an obsidian iron arena, and spent huge sums of money to build a defensive array. Law.
By the way, he used the excuse of building a strong arena for Li Yao's genius, blocked all challengers from the door, and registered them one by one. In his words, our Daqian country is a civilized society, and there must be rules for all competitions. Apply for registration, get a number plate, and challenge in an orderly manner according to the date.
Although this move caused dissatisfaction among many people.
But who told him it was Prince Heng?
If he were not too old and no longer suitable to accept the inheritance of the emperor, he would definitely be qualified to participate in the battle between the emperor and his son.
Such a person is making rules. No matter how big his opinion is, he can only accept it with a smile and praise Prince Heng for his great job.
The truth is.
That was because Prince Heng was deliberately hyping up the popularity and preparing to keep the popularity going for as long as possible.
This way.
Wang Liyao was provided with delicious food and drinks by Prince Hengjun. Every two days, she would accept a challenge from the young prodigy of Guilong City.
"I am the seventeenth-ranked young genius in Guilong City. I am Sun Qianqiu of the fourth-grade Sun family of Guilong City. I am at the peak of the second level of the Heavenly Realm. I am now ninety-three years old."
Then.
This guy named Sun Qianqiu flew out of the ring after ten breaths.
Two days passed.
"I am Feiyang of the Ouyang family of the fourth rank of Guilong. I am at the peak of the third level of the Heavenly Realm. I am one hundred and thirteen years old this year and ranked sixteenth before falling out of the rankings."
Baiyun Tower was crowded with people, and the minimum consumption of each major box was three times higher than the original price. After all the temporarily added tables were filled with drinks and food. That Ouyang Feiyang managed to hold on for fifteen breaths before being blasted out of the ring.
Things like this happened five times in a row.
The diners (audiences) finally couldn't hold back and rebelled. Who can still come to watch the game with such a huge minimum consumption? Who is not a powerful and wealthy owner?
Many of them are also members of the royal family.
Even if you, Prince Heng, do have a high status, you can't deceive people like this, right?
This matter has become very obvious. Prince Heng deliberately ranked those powerful challengers back and used the "junk" geniuses in front to make up the numbers.
In this way, in order to calm the "public anger", Prince Heng immediately arranged a match for the seventh-ranked young genius master, [Da Qian Chen Family Chen Muying] to challenge the great genius of Li Yao.
As one of the only three third-grade aristocratic families in Daqian, he is qualified to be named Daqian in front of the family.
Although the Chen family did not follow the late emperor to pioneer the land at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, she was a rising star who made rapid progress.
Today's Daqian Chen family is very powerful, with two ancestors in the magical power realm in the family.
Therefore, the Chen Muying card was played, which calmed the public anger slightly. Then, Prince Heng began to hype Chen Muying to the outside world again, boasting that she was the only one in the world.
There are rumors that Chen Muying is one of the hidden trump cards of the Chen family. She is currently ranked seventh among the young prodigies, but she is just hiding her clumsiness on purpose.
With all kinds of flattery, Chen Muying was exaggerated into an invincible hidden genius. It seems that as long as he wants, he can take the leader at any time like picking something out of a bag.
As rumors spread, many people had a strong sense of anticipation for this challenge. I believe that even if the rumors are exaggerated, this must be a challenge worth voting for and not to be missed.
The minimum price of a private room in Baiyun Tower was quickly increased to six times the original price.
Under the spotlight, Chen Muying, who was on the third level of the Heavenly Realm and was rumored to have inflated his self-confidence. When he felt that he was good enough to fight against the great genius, he lost!
Three breaths!
Chen Muying only made one move, but Wang Liyao used her unsheathed sword to break it!
It's not that Chen Muying is really so unbearable, but if he fights Li Yao cautiously, at least he won't fight so ugly. It can be seen that sometimes, rumors can deceive people. After this, if Chen Muying can get out of the trough, she may not be able to become a hero of the generation.
At the same time, there were also a group of diners who were tricked. They originally wanted to have a hearty and fierce battle to drink and eat.
Is this the result?
Then Chen Muying is used to set off Wang Liyao, right?
Withdrawal...
…
at the same time.
To the west of Guilong City, a little distance away from the imperial palace, there is a house that occupies a large area.
This mansion is not luxurious, and it does not look any different from other surrounding mansions. However, on the plaque at the door, the Canglong emblem of the Daqian royal family is engraved.
This means that the owner of this mansion is the Daqian royal family.
There are many mansions like this in Guilong City. After thousands of years of development in Daqian, the number of royal family members has long been innumerable, and the number of properties belonging to the royal family is naturally more numerous than ordinary people can even imagine.
Although now, the bloodline of most people in the royal family is actually quite far away from the direct lineage, and the bloodline concentration is far less powerful than the direct lineage, but it is still much stronger than other mid-level and bottom-level families, and they can occasionally give birth. A great talent comes out.
In this generation, a great genius named "Wu Zhixing" was born in the direct line of the royal family. Because of his extraordinary talent, Emperor Longchang valued him and specially brought him to the capital to return to Longcheng. He was educated by famous teachers who were direct line of the royal family. It has been more than decades now.
This mansion named "Xingyuan" was given to this great genius by Emperor Longchang.
Xingyuan backyard.
In a lush and wild garden, a young man was sitting cross-legged on a raised stone by the pond, his eyes slightly closed, quietly meditating on the laws of heaven and earth.
This young man is naturally the owner of this garden, Wu Zhixing.
Behind him, a dragon-shaped shadow that had become solidified was slowly swimming, exuding majestic and mighty power.
But unlike the pale and yellow dragon, this dragon-shaped shadow is cyan. It is not the green color of the water blue dragon, but the green color with a vast aura like the white clouds in the sky. Under the ribs of the dragon shadow, there is a pair of huge wings. The wings are colorful and carry a sacred and mysterious aura.
As the shadow moved slowly, the wind between heaven and earth seemed to be pulled, forming a stream of wind around the young man, rising and falling with his breathing, as if it was alive.
I don’t know how long it took.
Suddenly.
There seemed to be a golden light flashing between the young man's brows.
The next moment, the green dragon shadow behind him seemed to come to life. The dragon's eyes lit up, it flapped its wings and let out a long dragon roar toward the sky.
wind.
The clear wind, as if it had received an order, whizzed past the sky and the earth, rolled up the vegetation, stirred up water waves, then spiraled high into the sky, roaring towards the far distance.
The green dragon shadow flapped its wings again.
The wind between heaven and earth suddenly changed, strong winds rose suddenly, dark clouds gathered, and the weather suddenly changed from clear skies to dark clouds.
Dark clouds were rolling over the courtyard, and bursts of muffled thunder could be heard.
Suddenly.
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and there were loud rumbling sounds from the sky and the earth. Amidst the loud noise, the rain poured down like a waterfall, but it seemed to be restrained and only fell in this small courtyard.
Outside the courtyard separated by a wall, the ground was as dry as ever, and not even a drop of water could be seen.
In the pouring rain, the young man still sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was immersed in some indescribable meaning, forgetting both things and myself.
Raindrops fell on his shoulders, the ends of his hair, and slid down his clothes. However, his clothes were still as dry as ever, leaving no trace of moisture.
That's because there is a layer of wind as thin as a film on his body and clothes, which isolates the raindrops and the heaven and earth.
I don’t know how long it took before the dark clouds over the courtyard slowly dispersed.
Cloud sales, rain Ji.
The young man in the yard also slowly opened his eyes.
"Zhixing, my dear grandson, you're finally awake~ I'm almost bored to death from waiting."
Suddenly.
A drumming sound came from diagonally above.
The young man, Wu Zhixing, looked up and found a little lolita in a purple skirt sitting on the tree next to him.
She wore a cute double bun with a beautiful golden ribbon on her bun. Her face was full of youth and she looked particularly delicate and cute.
She didn't know how long she had been here, but her legs were dangling, and she was obviously bored.
Next to her, there was a beautiful middle-aged woman in an autumn-colored skirt and blouse dressed as a maid, who was holding a spell to keep out the rain. When the man looked over, the beautiful middle-aged woman gave him a half-nod.
"I've met Auntie Xuening."
Wu Zhixing came to his senses, stood up quickly, saluted the little Loli respectfully, and then returned the salute to the beautiful middle-aged woman.
This little loli is a direct descendant of the royal family, her name is "Wu Xuening", and she is two generations higher than him. According to royal rules, even though he is now over ninety years old, he still has to call Aunt Wu Xuening.
The beautiful middle-aged woman next to Wu Xuening is naturally her personal attendant and bodyguard.
"No gifts, please stay flat~"
Wu Xuening responded like a young adult, then jumped into the air and landed lightly and skillfully.
Although she is only thirteen years old, her cultivation is already at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm, and she will be promoted to the Lingtai Realm in just over a year. Although he is not yet proficient in using mystical skills due to his young age, he already looks like a little master.
"There's a lot of commotion outside, but you still have the heart to practice peacefully here?" Wu Xuening walked around Wu Zhixing with her hands behind her back. Bulingbuling's big eyes were full of disbelief, "You are too determined. Okay~"
Wu Zhixing was puzzled: "Auntie Huang is referring to..."
"What else could happen? Of course it was that incident." Wu Xuening recalled, "Just that... Girl Qianbi and her family had a great genius named 'Wang Liyao' come to their Baiyun Building. Let's talk about it. Will anyone under the age of 150 be accepted? This is a rare opportunity in a hundred years for a great genius to test his skills."
As he spoke, Wu Xuening's face showed an expression of hatred for steel. He jumped up and poked Wu Zhixing's forehead with his chubby fingers and said: "People are knocking on their door. You are one of the top ten outstanding contemporary people." Young man, how can you stay out of this? If I wasn't too young and couldn't beat her, I would have gone long ago."
Although Wu Xuening is a great genius, she is too young. She is indeed very strong among her peers, but if she wants to participate in the trial battle for the great genius, she is not good enough. If you really want to go on stage, you will be easily crushed by others.
However, looking at her eagerness to try, if she was really fifty years older, no, she didn't even have to be fifty, even if she was twenty or thirty years older, she might really get it.
Wu Zhixing broke into a cold sweat and said in embarrassment: "Well... Grandma Huang, you know me, I actually don't like fighting at all. The title of 'Top Ten Outstanding Youths' was also ranked by them, and I didn't agree to it either .”
"Whoever wants to go to that big talent test, can go. With the spare time I have, I would rather use it to understand the laws, strive to understand the minor magical powers as soon as possible, and prepare to enter the Purple Mansion Realm."
"You! You, you, you! I'm so angry! You can't carve rotten wood!" The little lolita Wu Xuening jumped up and down with anger, and her face, which still had baby fat, turned red with anger.
Seeing this, the beautiful middle-aged woman beside her smiled and whispered a few words of comfort. Wu Zhixing also repeatedly handed over his hands and murmured apologies.
The angry expression on the little Loli's face gradually subsided.
She clasped her hands behind her back and began to sigh: "Hey~ why do I have such a miserable life? I am obviously gifted and qualified, but I was born at the wrong time. I am too young to catch up with the fight between the emperor and the son. As a person, I am It’s not convenient for the royal bloodline to participate, so it’s rare that even the great prodigies try out, and because they’re too weak, they can only watch the excitement.”
"Hey~~ It seems that in this life, I can only rely on my royal family background to live a life like this~~Hey~ life is miserable~ Now, even my good grandson, who has always been well-behaved and obedient, doesn't listen to me anymore."
Why do these words sound so deserving of punishment~
The corner of Wu Zhixing's mouth twitched: "Grandma Huang, just tell me what you want to do."
"Hehe~ I'm still a good grandson, you understand me." Little Lolita Wu Xuening's depressed expression suddenly disappeared, and she turned to a smile, "I want you to take me to Baiyun Tower to watch the great talent test. You know , if there is no one with enough strength to take it, my father will not let me go."
"This..." Wu Zhixing hesitated.
The little Loli narrowed her eyes, as if "I want you to look good if you dare to refuse".
Wu Zhixing suddenly had a headache when he recalled the "brilliant" achievements of this aunt in the past. Although he was reluctant, he finally nodded in agreement.
"My dear grandson, I know you are the most obedient. Let's go to Baiyun Tower."
Wu Xuening opened her eyes wide again, and pulled Wu Zhixing out with a cute and cute look on her face, while feeling happy in her heart.
She knew that Zhixing's good grandson would definitely agree. Not only could she go to watch the great genius test her skills, but she could also force Zhixing's good grandson to take action. It was really killing two birds with one stone.
Hehe~ She is so smart~~
…
Inside Baiyun Tower.
Prince Heng spent a lot of effort and finally calmed down the diners with his eloquent words, and said that if the next show is not exciting again, the dishes will be withdrawn!
Then.
He hurriedly ran to the living room where Wang Liyao was resting, and complained repeatedly: "My Miss Liyao, can't you have a good fight? Act for a little longer, even for thirty breaths."
"Your Majesty, my father has given me instructions when I'm away from home." Wang Liyao slowly drank the spiritual tea and said solemnly, "You must have your own bottom line when doing things, and you should do whatever you want."
"Father... it seems that your father Wang Shouzhe, judging by his name, must be a boring and conservative person." Prince Heng County slapped his forehead and said helplessly, "That's all, why not do this? From now on, Baiyun Tower will be the only one in Li Yao. I will give you a share of the turnover on the day when the young lady finished fighting the great prodigy, which is a full 10%! Do you know that this is a huge sum of money?"
"I know." Wang Liyao nodded slightly and said, "It sounds interesting."
"Okay, okay, then we can have a good talk." Wang Laohuai of Heng County smiled happily, "In order to restore my reputation, I decided to use Wang Annan of the Daqian Wang family in the next game."
"Wang Annan? Daqian Wang family's generation?" Wang Liyao's beautiful eyes seemed to be in a trance, "This generation..."
"The Wang family in Daqian is indeed a bit high in seniority, but he is still quite young. Miss Li Yao, don't underestimate him. He is the third-ranked young prodigy in the capital, and actually the second-ranked one. His talent has gone through a series of tests. After promotion, it has reached the second level of Tianjiao. Now ninety-four years old, its strength has reached the fourth level of Tianren Realm!"
"Okay." Even with Wang Liyao's mentality, he was a little swayed, but this thought only passed by for a moment, and he said lightly, "Thirty percent, starting from the first battle, I will give you 30% of all turnover. Reach a cooperation with His Highness the County Prince?"
"What?" Prince Heng grunted and wanted to bargain, but when he saw Wang Liyao's extremely calm expression, he could only grit his teeth and said, "Three percent makes thirty percent. You, like that girl Li Ci, are just a little glutton. .”
"However, this time Wang Annan, Li Yao, you have to play better. At least you have to play for one stick of incense, otherwise it will be difficult for the prince to make arrangements later."
Suddenly.
Wang Liyao raised her head and said with a strange look in her eyes: "Does Your Highness know that the Daqian Wang family is the main lineage of our Changning Wang family?"
"Is there such a thing? That's right. I vaguely remember that there was a Li generation before the Wang family, but he didn't seem to be very promising." Prince Heng was surprised, but he was even more surprised and said, "But that's the case, it's just that There is more room for speculation. This time, we will make a lot of money.”
In fact, in the past, Prince Heng had always regarded money as something external to him, and he had such an indifferent attitude until he spent five years with Li Ci...
"Does the prince know that Wang Annan should be my grandson in terms of seniority?" Wang Liyao picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "This makes me very embarrassed. I don't feel comfortable beating him."
"Then what Miss Li Yao means..." Prince Heng was filled with doubts, "How about we switch to the fourth-ranked member of the Gongye family?"
"No, you have to pay more for this one!"
"..." Prince Heng.
…
