Chapter 4 Zidian
"Alright, it's not like Cai'er didn't leave you anything. If you keep delaying, you might as well not participate in the squire knight exam."
Upon hearing this, Long Haochen was stunned, and his bad mood vanished instantly.
He stared longingly at Bai Ling, his sapphire-blue eyes filled with curiosity and yearning.
Bai Ling handed Long Haochen a ring with a blue base and a gold-plated forget-me-not pattern engraved on the outer ring.
Long Haochen subconsciously put the ring on his hand.
The next second, the ring seemed to have magic, fitting perfectly onto his finger.
Bai Yue, who was carrying a change of clothes, saw this scene and teased, "Oh, our little man is already being pursued by a little girl so early?"
Bai Ling nodded seriously, then added insult to injury: "This is an engagement ring given to me by someone else!"
Bai Yue covered her mouth and laughed happily.
However, Long Haochen did not take their words as a joke.
Therefore, his face suddenly turned red from his neck to the roots of his ears.
Seeing his sister's interested gaze, Long Haochen jumped up and stammered, "Mom! Sister! Don't talk nonsense. I'm going to take the squire knight exam. See you later!"
After saying that, he picked up a few slices of warm bread and a bottle of milk from the table and ran away in a flash.
"Hey! You child, wait a minute..."
Bai Yue tried to reach out and stop her.
Unfortunately, Long Haochen's speed was so fast that he could take off after his meridians were opened.
In the blink of an eye, the person disappeared.
"Ugh."
Bai Yue shook her head, then said to Bai Ling, who was still eating and looked rather obedient, "Look at your younger brother, he left in such a hurry that he even forgot to take the wooden sword he was going to use for the exam."
"If my classmates find out, wouldn't I make a fool of myself?"
Bai Ling followed her mother's words and looked at the low stool next to Long Haochen's seat.
Sure enough, a solid wood sword that had accompanied Long Haochen through several springs and autumns lay there all alone.
"Mother, I'm going to deliver the wooden sword to Long Haochen. Let's have lunch when we get back."
Bai Yue stroked her daughter's hair with her other hand and said with relief, "Good, Mother will prepare a big meal in advance, waiting for you and your brother to come back with good news."
Bai Ling enjoyed this warm and cozy moment where she didn't need to think.
She narrowed her eyes, which were beginning to turn a light blue, and said confidently, "Then I'll buy more meat on the way, so that Long Haochen won't keep stealing meat from me."
"Go ahead, and be careful on the road."
"Yes."
Bai Yue stood at the door and watched Bai Ling's figure disappear from sight before she walked towards the well in the backyard with peace of mind.
When Bai Yue arrived at the well and was about to draw water, she suddenly noticed a stranger standing behind her.
She felt a chill in her heart.
When did the other person come in?
Pretending not to notice the outsiders, Bai Yue bent down and picked up a large stone from the ground.
In an instant, she turned around and slammed herself hard at the figure behind her.
The stranger gripped the stone with one hand, his weathered eyes fixed on Bai Yue, who had remained unchanged over the years.
"It's you!"
Upon recognizing the stranger, Bai Yue instinctively covered her mouth, her eyes filled with tears, a sight that tugged at the heartstrings.
The stranger forced a smile and said, "Yes, it's me."
Not long after, Bai Ling, who had just arrived at the entrance of the Knight's Palace, was completely unaware that her home had been robbed.
"Today is the Knight Temple's squire assessment. Unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter this area."
Two young men dressed in silver armor, looking rather pretentious, blocked Bai Ling's path, preventing her from advancing any further.
"I'm here to deliver something."
Bai Ling raised an eyebrow, half-raising the wooden sword in her hand, and blinked her eyes: "I know today is the squire knight assessment, but I'm here to deliver the wooden sword to my younger brother, so I'm not an outsider, am I?" The young man with gray hair shook his head and wagged his finger: "As a knight, if you don't treat the wooden sword you carry as if it were your life, you're not qualified to take the exam!"
The brown-haired man next to him looked Bai Ling up and down, nodded and said, "That's right. If you want to go in, you'll have to pay us tolls first."
Despite their difficult questions, Bai Ling still smiled and asked, "How much do you two brothers want?"
The two men exchanged a glance, then said in unison, "Two silver coins."
In Odin Town, the expenses of a normal family of three are no more than ten silver coins.
The fact that these two menial gatekeepers dared to ask an eight-year-old child for two silver coins really made Bai Ling laugh.
Is it because they think she's easy to bully?
When the gray-haired man saw that Bai Ling not only did not leave, but also laughed out loud, his expression immediately changed.
He raised a genuine longsword and threatened, "If you have no money, get the hell out of here, or I'll disfigure your face right here and now!"
After saying that, the gray-haired man narrowed his eyes slightly, looking on expectantly as Bai Ling burst into tears in front of them.
In his life, what he hated most were the children of rich families.
If it weren't for that brat who falsely accused them, ruining their future and forcing them to become guards in this godforsaken place, Odin Town, it would have been a different story.
The two brothers were already legitimate first-tier knights!
Bai Ling smiled and whispered, "Tell me, what are the principles of a knight?"
The brown-haired man picked at his ear, looking disdainful: "What did you say? Speak louder, I can't hear you!"
Tell me, what are the rules of chivalry!
Bai Ling's eyes changed from blue to black, and the wooden sword in her hand suddenly burst into purple-gold flames.
Behind her, the phantom of the Heaven-Defying Demonic Dragon flashed by.
"Hey, what kind of weirdo are you!"
The gray-haired man yelled and tried to snatch the sword from Bai Ling's hand to put an end to her arrogance.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ling was even faster than him.
The black-haired girl came up behind the two, and the purple-gold flames on the surface of the wooden sword surged to two meters high once again.
"In you, I see no humility, honesty, compassion, courage, justice, or sacrifice that a knight should possess..."
Bai Ling's voice echoed in their ears: "Therefore, I implore you to go before Chief Instructor Balza and beg for forgiveness."
As soon as he finished speaking, the flaming sword descended from the sky, instantly engulfing the two scoundrels.
A few seconds later, Bai Ling blew a breath gently forward with a blank expression.
The purple-gold flames appeared out of nowhere and vanished in an instant.
Two men, nearly naked but seemingly unharmed, lay on the ground, barely alive.
Bai Ling disdainfully took out the pills from her earrings and threw them into the mouths of the two of them as if they were trash.
Then she took out the white gloves she used for alchemy, and with great disdain placed the two of them on the dusty burlap sack, dragging them inside.
The assessment of these squire knights is very fast.
Just as Balzac was about to call on the next candidate to begin the test, the tightly closed door behind him was kicked open from the outside.
"Old man, I've come to bring you some warmth!"
Balzac: "Cough cough cough!"
Why is that little witch here again?!
Doesn't she know that today is the Prince's squire assessment?
Clutching his chest, feeling utterly exhausted, Balzac turned around and saw a scene that suffocated him.
The elegant and slender little witch Bai Ling, who looked like a noble lady, was dragging a gatekeeper knight who had only been on the job for a few days behind her.
Where are their knight outfits?! They've turned into swimsuits!
A group of naive teenagers who admired Bai Ling finally realized what was happening.
They all stood up at the same time, exclaiming in surprise, "Ah! Are those guards behind Sister Bai Ling? Why are they dressed like that?"
"Oh my god, Long Haochen, look, it's your sister!"
Long Haochen, who was sitting in the back, stood up reflexively when he heard his friends say that his sister had arrived.
When he could see the scene in front of him clearly, everything went black again.
His career with the Knights seems to be ending before it even began!
