Chapter 227 Everything Goes Well

It was late at night, and by the time Liu Sheng and his friends had finished their supper, it was already midnight. The night market, which was originally bustling, had become much quieter.

Many of the neon mirages in the sky have died down, the night sky has become clear again, and the stars that were hidden by light pollution have reappeared in the night sky.

Senior Sister Lin Shuying had a servant to pick her up, and the sedan chair was waiting outside the market.

Gao Yisheng, Yu Huan and Liu Sheng lived relatively close to each other, so they shared a sedan chair and went to the East Market together.

However, when Gao Yisheng found out that Liu Sheng lived in Yunxianju, he immediately said he wanted to jump out of the car, saying he was not worthy of riding with a rich woman.

Yu Huan was so frightened that he grabbed his hand and said, "No, brother, don't think too much."

Liu Sheng knew that Gao Yisheng just loved to exaggerate, so he just sat there, motionless as a mountain.

Sure enough, Yu Huan soon discovered that Gao Yisheng was just standing at the door of the sedan chair and twisting around without really taking any action. Only then did he understand the character of this new brother Gao.

He put his hand down, feeling a little embarrassed.

It's not because I'm embarrassed, but because I'm embarrassed for Brother Gao.

However, this was just a small incident in the middle of the night.

It was like Huan got off the sedan chair. After losing his performance partner, Gao Yisheng finally calmed down and became serious. He couldn't help but sigh to Liu Sheng: "I didn't expect you to be the final winner..."

While having supper just now, the four of them talked to each other about the faith values ​​they finally obtained. Although Liu Sheng didn't want to be too high-profile, he also felt that there was no need to hide it, so he still told about his ridiculously high faith value.

By comparing them with each other, we can know who are from one to four, and the faith value of Liu Sheng, who ranks first, is really terrifying.

As to how it was done, Senior Sister Lin Shuying and Gao Yisheng, who were full of ideas, did not ask Liu Sheng in front of outsiders, and Yu Huan, as an outsider, was even more embarrassed to ask directly.

Although Gao Yisheng didn't know how Liu Sheng did it at this time, he still admired her and continued, "Although I could see that you were extraordinary at that time, and although you and Sister Yanjun were both doormen, I knew you were different from her. She wanted to live a peaceful and quiet life, but you had other pursuits."

Liu Sheng didn't expect that Gao Yisheng, who always loved to make jokes, would say such a thing. He opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Gao Yisheng looked at Liu Sheng seriously and said, "Keep on following the path you want to take. With how hard you study, you will definitely have no problem passing the palace examination later."

Liu Sheng nodded, feeling a little touched. He didn't know what to say, so he could only squeeze out a sentence: "You too."

Gao Yisheng couldn't help but laugh: "What am I? I'm not good at studying, but this time the examination was the right path for me. It's just a coincidence. If I had taken the exam honestly, I wouldn't have failed."

The cloud sedan arrived at Guangyuan Inn where Gao Yisheng was staying and slowly descended.

"I'm looking forward to seeing where you can go in Chang'an." Gao Yisheng said seriously, but he lost his composure again in less than a second. "Anyway, don't go back to being a doorman."

Liu Sheng snorted, "Isn't being a doorman good enough? I think you're also good at being a doorman."

"I can do it, but you are not suitable. Your smile is stiffer than a bitter gourd. I really don't understand how you can be a priest and get such a high score."

"Just focus on publishing your articles!" Gao Yisheng said, turned his back, waved his hand, and jumped off the cloud sedan.

The cloud sedan took off again. Liu Sheng lifted the curtain and watched Gao Yisheng disappear into the doorway of the inn. Suddenly, he felt uncomfortable with the sudden silence.

[What's wrong? Are you suddenly not used to being alone? ]

[It’s just that I haven’t heard the voice of the world for a long time. 】

[And in the illusion, there is always someone accompanying me all the time...]

[Of course, because you are the high priest! ]

[I need you to solve the weird things, to decide the farming plan, to report the progress of the temple, and to tell you when the kids in the school fight. How can I not have someone around all the time? 】

[Now that I think about it, I kind of miss the people in Xuan Thirty-Nine City. ]

[I miss Yanran, Fuxiao, Shikang, Auntie... I miss Xiaoya, Gouwa, Goudan, Tiedan...]

【Hope everything goes well in the world...】

……

For some people, everything was not going smoothly. After the long examination, the candidates could finally go home and rest, but the examiners could not.

At this time, they were sitting together in the imperial study, pondering the "sacred weapon".

"Your Majesty... I have something to say, but I'm not sure whether I should say it or not..." Minister Li said cautiously with sweat on his forehead.

The emperor responded angrily: "If you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it."

Suddenly the whole room was silent. No one dared to breathe, let alone speak.

Seeing that they were as scared as quails, the emperor waved his hand and said to Minister Ling: "Ling Fu, you tell me, you know the most about spiritual weapons."

"Yes, Your Majesty, although this item is a level higher than a spiritual weapon, the principles are also very similar." Minister Ling spoke cautiously, "I have just studied it and came to a conclusion..."

"explain."

"This thing is broken."

As soon as these words were spoken, the imperial study became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

When Minister Ling said this cautiously, he had already anticipated the thundering wrath that would befall him. This nobleman, who used to be like a brother to him, had become increasingly bad-tempered since he took that position.

Sure enough, when the emperor heard that Minister Ling dared to say that the sacred artifact he had obtained with great difficulty from... was broken, he was so angry that his face twisted.

After the silence, there will be a storm.

The emperor spoke fluently and kept cursing for a long time without repeating himself, insulting their personality and intelligence, and then greeted their parents and ancestors.

Everyone was used to the emperor's mood swings, so they had no choice but to keep a low profile and acquiesce in their mistakes.

Only Mei Yuanzheng nodded.

"My dear Minister Mei, it seems that you also agree with what I said?" The emperor narrowed his eyes threateningly.

Mei Yuanzheng, who was in his sleep, suddenly heard someone calling him. He was startled, sat up, opened his eyes wide and asked, "What do you approve of?"

"Agree with me when I say you are all trash."

Mei Yuanzheng was shocked when he heard this.

"Your Majesty..." He answered stiffly, but his mind was racing, trying to find a suitable excuse to ease the current situation.

After thinking for a long time, I could only say: "That makes sense, but I don't think it's entirely true."

"Are you saying I'm wrong?"

"I dare not! I just think..." Mei Yuanzheng caught a glimpse of Master Yan quietly pointing at the artifact on the table, and realized that they were talking about the artifact.

He was moved and continued, "I just feel that we don't fully understand the workings of the artifact, and only Minister Li knows how to operate it. I'm sure it's common for it to be used improperly due to carelessness."

This sentence easily shifted the responsibility to Minister Li, who was primarily responsible for activating the artifact.

Minister Li's face suddenly changed, and he stood up and explained, "Your Majesty! I swear to the Supreme God that I have followed the instructions of Your Majesty completely!"

"Then why can't it be used now? Are you saying there's something wrong with what I taught you?"

"Your humble servant... doesn't know..." Minister Li was speechless in the face of the emperor's questioning.

"Your Majesty, although the divine gift can no longer create illusions, cannot be controlled, and has lost most of its spiritual patterns, and many of its functions cannot be operated, it still contains the faith values ​​of the candidates at all times." Minister Ling took the initiative to step forward and said, "First, let me study and repair it, and then pass on the values. Next, I am willing to continue researching in order to completely repair the artifact."

The emperor snorted coldly and swept his eyes across the crowd, his eyes full of dissatisfaction, and only when he looked at Ling Fu did his expression ease a little.

"In that case, Minister Ling, please complete this task as soon as possible. The results will be announced soon and there are many things to do. This cannot be delayed."

"Yes! I'll obey your command!" Minister Ling agreed solemnly.

But whether he has any idea in his heart, only he knows.
