Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 228 Another village has a bright future

Logically, after the interview, the final results of the provincial examination should be announced within three days. Celestial Immortals of the seventh rank or above are directly granted their celestial tablets at the Yue Mansion and then proceed to their posts in their respective locations on time.

But for some reason, the interview was repeatedly delayed, leaving most of the candidates and their families wondering whether they should go home for the Chinese New Year first.

The results were not finally released until New Year's Eve.

The miracle did not happen. Chen Xiaoke's total score dropped from first to last due to her low interview score.

The four disciples were not surprised by this, but what was truly surprising was that the one who sat on the throne of the City God of Aju was none other than Park Guk-chang, who had originally ranked last in martial arts and literature.

The person who was originally second only to Chen Xiaoke was disqualified for cheating.

Seeing this, even Tang Xuanci had to admit that the Taoist sect did indeed have something special.

During the Lunar New Year, they said nothing and risked bringing in the disfigured Sha Dingtian, and had a New Year's Eve dinner at a restaurant in Xianzhen.

Chen Xiaoke also regained control of the Seven Star Knife and personally cooked several hearty dishes, including sweet and sour rabbit ribs, which she often stole from Jixianglou to replenish Gege's nitrogen pump.

It’s a familiar smell!

After eating, Tang Xuanci was filled with emotion and inspired to write poetry. He raised his cup to his disciples and recited:

"The beginning was a desolate and imprisoned place, and more than twenty years of hunger for monks."

"Nostalgic sweet and sour rabbit, now transformed into a true demon god; "

"A thousand sails pass by the sunken ship, and ten thousand trees bloom before the withered tree."

"If I fail the imperial examination today, I will kneel before the Jade Emperor and become his subject next year!"

This is the inspirational masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages—"A Gift to My Three Disciples at the New Year's Eve Dinner on Mount Hua for Mutual Encouragement".

The second-to-last sentence was directly included in elementary school textbooks and became the most frequently appearing dictation question in the college entrance examination (Gaokao) Chinese language test.

The next day.

Tang Xuanci and his three disciples regrouped and, filled with burning passion, prepared to leave Mount Taihua and head straight for Wuji Kingdom to immediately launch the large-scale organized crime operation they had planned the night before!
However, just as they led Chen Xiaoke to the gate of the Immortal Town, they encountered three officials dressed in immortal robes.

The other party blocked their way. The leader looked at Chen Xiaoke with a strange glint in his eyes and asked, feigning ignorance:

"You must be Wuse from the Pure Land School? Come with us to the Yue Mansion immediately. Immortal Doubu wants to speak with you."

"Um... what's wrong?" Chen Xiaoke asked hesitantly.

Tang Xuanci frowned and asked, "The continental examinations are all over, why does the Immortal of the Dou Department still want to see her?" He wondered if the Buddhist or Taoist sects had done something to keep her here.

When the celestial official saw him speak, his tone softened considerably, and he explained:

"It's all about the continental examination. The candidate who was nominated to be the City God of Azhou in Baoxiang Kingdom... was disqualified. So now, the Immortal of Doubu has specially ordered us to come and inform him that he wants to summon Wuse for a talk."

Ah this?

They've been disqualified again?
Tang Xuanci and his three disciples looked at each other, stunned. Chen Xiaoke, on the other hand, was dumbfounded and hadn't reacted yet.

To confirm that his understanding was correct, Tang Xuanci immediately asked again:
"You're talking about Park Guk-chang, what exactly happened?"

The celestial official considered his words carefully and nodded, saying:
"That's right, it's him."

"He was found to have violated the heavenly rules, so his qualification was revoked."

"The Yue family will issue a statement regarding this matter soon, and we do not know the specific details."

Tang Xuanci and his three disciples looked at each other again, knowing what this meant.

Some transgender people nearby also heard this and were all dumbfounded.

Just yesterday, some of them were still talking about how naive Tang Xuanci's group's idea of ​​becoming celestial beings was, and how they really thought that cultivating immortality was all about fighting and killing.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the two candidates who had surpassed the vicious little nun with their interview scores were both disqualified. Therefore, according to the rules of the Celestial Examination, she should naturally fill the vacancy of the City God position.

To be on the safe side, Tang Xuanci first sent Sha Dingtian, the wanted criminal, out of the valley. Together with the monkey and pig, he escorted Chen Xiaoke to the other side of the square, taking the opportunity to review his interview skills on "what to say and what not to say." Then he waited below the jade steps.

After cigarette butts littered the ground, Tang Xuanci heard a "Gege" sound and saw Chen Xiaoke running down with a smile on her face, a completely different expression from after the interview.

The two plump rabbits hopped and jumped around, thankfully they didn't leap out of the collar.

With a soft thud, she bumped into Tang Xuanci's arms, clinging to him like a koala, and cried out excitedly:

"Great news, Gege! I passed the exam! They've agreed to let me be the City God!"

"Holy crap, I really got it!" Tang Xuanci was both excited and speechless. "What the hell is going on?"

Chen Xiaoke laughed heartlessly, "I don't know either. Those people didn't say that. They just asked me some questions and then made me the City God. They told me to come over the day after tomorrow to receive the title and then go to Azhou to take up my post as soon as possible."

Pig-Heavenly Jar Voice:

"What else could it be? When two clams fight, a third party benefits. It must be that the Buddhist sect was furious and anxious because their people were tricked by the Taoist sect, so they tried to get rid of their people as well, and this fool ended up getting the benefit!"

The monkey chuckled and said, "Good, good, good! Didn't that old man Taibai say she definitely wouldn't get the position? Now he's just slapped himself in the face."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanci's smile widened, and he stopped dwelling on the reasons behind it.

However, he felt that this was not the work of the Buddhist sect. If the Buddhist sect could get rid of Park Guk-chang, shouldn't they have done it sooner?
Before long, the three masters and disciples, along with Chen Xiaoke and her family of four, returned to Xian Town and reopened the two suites they had recently vacated.

The newly finalized "gangster route" was also terminated, and the "grey society route" was changed back.

After all, a five-star general once said—

Organized crime isn't scary; what's scary is organized crime with protection, and even scarier is... organized crime that participates in elections themselves.

This is the gray society.

At noon, Tang Xuanci was in high spirits again at the dinner table and composed a poem:
"Don't laugh at the turbid wine of the immortal's abode; in a bountiful year, there's plenty of chicken and pork to entertain guests."

"The mountains and rivers seem to block the way, but then a village appears amidst the willows and flowers."
"Instead of becoming a gangster, I'd rather become the City God first."

"Today we pass the imperial examination with flying colors, next year the Jade Emperor will kneel and submit to us!"

This is another masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages—"A Visit to Taihua Prefecture".

However, because it wasn't as inspiring and even carried a hint of smugness, it wasn't rated as highly as the previous poem. Only the second line was singled out and included in middle school textbooks.

Chen Xiaoke became the City God—this explosive news spread like wildfire, instantly reaching the entire Immortal Town and shocking all the humans and demons who had not yet left.

The scent of power comes quickly.

In the afternoon, for reasons unknown, Venus sent someone to invite Tang Xuanci to go fishing at their "old spot" that evening.

As evening fell, Kui Mulang, whose position was equivalent to that of a provincial governor, also sent someone to invite them to a "burnt tail banquet" for the family of four.

Tang Xuanci asked Beaker to analyze the situation briefly and guessed that the forces behind these two people were probably interested in profiting from Chen Xiaoke's future territory, so they had no choice but to shamelessly turn around and come to him.

To be honest, while this kind of behavior is shameless, it does show some class.

Beaker also suggested that Tang Xuanci broaden his perspective and talk to them. After all, even if they didn't agree to anything, easing tensions would be beneficial for the future.

But Tang Xuanci rejected it without even thinking about it.

Not only did he refuse to keep the appointment, but he also, along with the even more troublesome monkey, severely humiliated the representatives who had come to invite him, and told them to go back and tell Taibai Jinxing and Kui Mulang that:
"Now you want to ask me for a favor, huh? Weren't you so arrogant before?"
"From now on, you guys are not allowed to do anything in that area of ​​Azhou. That's what I'm saying."

"If you don't believe me, then just wait and see!"
