Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 38
"Go back first!" Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcism chief, instructed the guard.

"As ordered, my lord." The guard respectfully retired.

After the guards left, Luo Chuan picked up a document on the table and began to browse casually.

The first thing he saw was Machin's ink roll.

For the questions on the ink roll, Ma Qin answered [-]% correctly, [-]% wrong, and [-]% was blank.

And the feedback that Princess Zhaoning wrote on the ink roll is also very simple.

There is only one word - "read".

Luo Chuan smiled slightly.

This was completely what he expected.

Luo Chuan knew very well the character of Princess Zhaoning Xiao Wanjun, and knew that she was a capable and neat person.

Anything that doesn't deserve her attention, she will never waste an extra second on it.

Then Luo Chuan put Ma Qin's answer sheet aside and began to read Gu Xu's answer sheet.

I saw that his neat and clear handwriting filled every question, almost the same as the standard answer, and he couldn't pick out the slightest flaw at all.

Even the most uncommon and difficult exam questions, Gu Xu answered them in detail.

Luo Chuan knew that in order to make this question volume to Gu Xu's level, the only way to do it was to master the thousands of volumes in his heart.

If he wasn't proficient in the secret technique, he might suspect Gu Xu, the kid, who entered the examination room with the answer.

Luo Chuan smiled and turned the test paper to the back.

Princess Zhaoning's feedback is still very concise, with only one sentence -

"There is still a lack of a long history in this palace, dare to ask Sir Sishou if he is willing to give up his love?"

"This girl Wanjun actually wants to snatch our exorcists?" Luo Chuan shook his head gently and said to himself.

The long history, in charge of the government orders of the vassal king's or princess's government, complements each other's rules and satires, rectifies the faults of the vassal king or princess, and leads the bureaucrats to provide for their own affairs.

It can be understood as the secretary-general or the big housekeeper of the palace of the prince or the princess.

As the saying goes, "the seven officials in front of the prime minister's gate".

Since Princess Zhaoning had real power in the court, she was in full swing at this time.

Although the long history of her mansion is not high, his status in the eyes of everyone is almost like that of a real and anonymous Saisuke.

Although I don't know why Princess Zhaoning was so interested in Gu Xu after only seeing an ink roll...

But if Gu Xu is not a practitioner of the Exorcism Division, but is following a secular development path, then becoming the head of the Princess Palace is a step to the sky for him.

"Xiaojin, go to the Princess' Mansion later and tell Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning my answer - 'No'." Luo Chuan turned his head and instructed Shangguan Jin who was beside him.

"Yes." Shangguan Jin agreed immediately.

"Also, regarding Gu Xu's performance in this assessment, please be sure to keep it a secret from the outside world, especially not to let the national teacher know," Luo Chuan continued, "The national teacher has been looking for someone with good qualifications who can pass on him recently. Disciple of Fu Dao. If he finds that there is a Fu Dao genius in our exorcism department, he will definitely try to rob people.

"But since Gu Xu joined our exorcism department, he will be a member of our exorcism department for the rest of his life. I can't allow people outside to take him away casually."

Shangguan Jin nodded again and again.

She was accustomed to seeing Lord Si Shou's light-hearted performance on weekdays.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he turned out to be uncharacteristically, showing such a serious attitude towards the young man named Gu Xu!

This made Shangguan Jin more curious about Gu Xu.

"I really want to see that little genius from Yishui County as soon as possible!" she thought to herself.

…………

Yishui County, Exorcism Department Yamen.

Xiaohan still did not accept the task today.

She sat alone on the railing of the corridor in the backyard of the yamen, her legs swaying in the autumn wind, her bright almond eyes staring at the ground, she was so bored that she began to count the ants on the ground.

"...one, two, three, four...ten...twenty...it's been so long, why hasn't that guy Gu Xu come out...25...[-]..."

During this period, many onlookers came to her side, greeted her warmly, and wanted to chat with her.

But Shi Xiaohan's attitude has always been indifferent, ignoring them.

Because she knew that the reason why these people were courteous in front of her was entirely because of her family background, because of her father, the fifth-rank official who served as a thousand households in Laizhou.

However, in the depths of Shi Xiaohan's heart, there has always been an innocent girl's hypocrisy.

She hopes that those who want to make friends with her are not attracted to her family background, wealth or looks, but are spiritually minded.

"I don't know how Gu Xu performed in today's assessment..." She thought silently in her heart.

Although she has always had confidence in Gu Xu, Gu Xu's competitors have ten years of experience in slaying demons and slaying demons - in actual combat, Gu Xu may not be able to take advantage.

At this moment, a flood-like noise broke out from the crowd not far away.

"They're out!"

Hearing this voice, Shi Xiaohan immediately jumped up, then passed through the bustling crowd, trying to squeeze in the direction of the Yamen lobby.

"Give it up, let it go!" she shouted over and over.

The crowd is too dense.

Officials from the capital, officials from the yamen of the next county, and officials from the Yishui Exorcism Department all crowded into this small courtyard.

This made the hairpin on Shi Xiaohan's head accidentally fall to the ground during repeated bumps and bumps.

But she didn't realize it.

At this time, she finally saw Gu Xu walking out of the yamen lobby.

I saw the young man's clothes fluttering and graceful, like a zhilan jade tree.

Even under everyone's attention, he still smiles calmly and his eyes are calm.

The early sun is rising.

The golden brilliance fell on him, illuminating his handsome face.

At this moment, he took the audience away.

"Oh, if only I could grow taller..." In the crowd, Shi Xiaohan thought to himself rather depressingly.

Because he wasn't tall enough, even if Shi Xiaohan tried to stand on tiptoe, he couldn't get past the crowd in front of him and see the picture completely.

As the well-known "ruthless ghost-killing knife" and the second-level monk who cuts ghosts like cutting vegetables, she has a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart.

At the same time, Wang Yang, a die-hard fan of Gu Xu, climbed directly to the stone pier in the yard and shouted to Gu Xu, "Brother Gu, what happened?"

Gu Xu smiled calmly: "Master Chu asked me to wait for a while."

"With Brother Gu's astounding cultivation talent, it must be a sure thing to be promoted. I'll wait for you to invite us all to dinner tonight!" Someone else shouted.

The corners of Gu Xu's mouth rose, but he didn't respond.

At this time, he turned his head and saw Shi Xiaohan who was trying hard to tiptoe in the crowd—

The petite girl had slightly messy hair and bright eyes. She was raising her head with anticipation, like a fluffy chick waiting to be fed.

"Hey, this idiot, the hairpin on his head fell off without realizing it." Gu Xu shook his head lightly and muttered silently.

Then he walked straight to where Shi Xiaohan was.

The crowd spread out to make way for him.

He bent down, picked up the fallen hairpin from the ground, and wiped the dust with a handkerchief.

"Don't move," he said softly.

"Yeah." Shi Xiaohan stood there, motionless, his eyes completely on him.

He carefully inserted the hairpin into her bun.

Her long black hair exuded a faint fragrance.

"Okay," he said with a faint smile on his face, "you trim the turban for me, and I'll put on the hairpin for you. We're even, and we don't owe anyone anything."

"No, you still owe me several meals!" Shi Xiaohan frowned slightly.

It seems that it has changed from a cute chick to a small beast with fierce milk.

"I'll pay you back, I'll pay you back."
