Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 35 The End
"..."

Shen Fuyu was speechless.

"Quick pass!"

Shen Mengwu finally reacted and quickly handed the flowers over, patting her chest.

"Scared me, scared me."

Shen Mengwu had completely forgotten poetry. If she were to write a poem, she would definitely be the first to be eliminated.

Murong Yue, who was sitting next to Shen Mengwu, rolled her eyes, looked at Shen Mengwu deeply, and immediately a plan came to her mind.

Shen Fuyu noticed the change in Murong Yue's eyes at the first moment.

Definitely not thinking of anything good.

"Second Miss, be careful of Murong Yue. I suspect she will deliberately not pass the flower to you, deliberately wasting time and throwing it to you at the last second."

Shen Fuyu had watched palace fighting dramas and was familiar with all the tactics used. He could see through the little thoughts of a teenage girl like Murong Yue at a glance.

She reminded Shen Mengwu in a low voice.

Shen Mengwu nodded with a serious expression, wishing she could grow another pair of eyes to stare at Murong Yue.

Shen Mengning was sitting next to Shen Fuyu, so there was no need to worry.

"Bang bang bang——"

After several rounds, three people have been eliminated. Strangely, none of them were eliminated by the Shen sisters.

Murong Yue gritted her teeth secretly.

Finally, the flower fell into Murong Yue's hands.

As expected, Murong Yue deliberately delayed and didn't even hand it to Shen Mengwu.

Shen Mengwu was just about to snatch it away.

Shen Fuyu suddenly had a bold idea.

She is a cultivator!

Although she hasn't learned it yet, perhaps she can try to use her spiritual energy to get the flower back to Murong Yue.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t succeed. You didn’t learn the Chinese language major in vain. Shen Fuyu also memorized 300 Tang poems on a regular basis.

I promise that Shen Mengwu will not be eliminated.

Just then, the drums stopped.

Seeing that the flower was about to fall into Shen Mengwu's hands, Shen Fuyu condensed the spiritual energy in his palm and quietly shot it out.

It was a small ball of spiritual energy, but it was unbearable for Murong Yue.

The flower stuck to my palm and I couldn't throw it away.

She was so angry!

Why didn’t Shen Mengwu accept it?
Murong Yue glared, "Shen Mengwu cheated, why didn't you take the flower?"

Shen Mengwu immediately stood up and looked down at Murong Yue, "How dare you say that? If you hadn't wasted your time with the flowers, would they have stayed with us?"

"You brought this upon yourself."

"Princess Murong, do you want to cheat?" Shen Mengning added slowly.

"Princess Murong is very knowledgeable. It's just a poem, there's no need to cheat." Shen Fuyu immediately agreed.

The three of them acted in unison, blocking all of Murong Yue's escape routes and leaving her no chance to regret.

For several consecutive years, the poetry gatherings were carried out as Murong Yue had planned. Murong Yue never thought that one day it would fail, so naturally she did not make much preparation.

Murong Yue stood there with a grim expression, racking her brains to think.

"Three, two, one..."

The time was up, but Murong Yue still hadn't uttered a single poem, and was unwillingly eliminated.

"Humph!"

Murong Yue snorted coldly and made excuses for herself, "I've been too tired recently. I haven't rested my spirits well, and I'm not in good shape."

Shen Mengwu rolled her eyes and said bluntly, "Princess Murong always has a reason. How could it be Princess Murong's fault? It's all our fault."

The sarcasm is taken to the extreme.

Murong Yue was so angry that she pointed at Shen Mengwu with trembling fingers, wishing she could fight with her on the spot.

"What? Am I right?"

Shen Mengwu felt extremely happy. She had been bullied by Murong Yue all these years, but this was the first time she had made Murong Yue speechless.

"Is it because of poor form and poor performance, or is it because of the lack of opportunity to cheat?"

The others might be concerned about Princess Murong Yue's identity and not dare to speak out. But, who is Shen Mengwu?!

There is nothing in this world that she is afraid of.

Many scholars noticed that Murong Yue was showing signs of losing her temper, and fearing that the game would be cancelled and they would not get the prize, they hurriedly started to try to stop the fight.

"Alright, let's be merciful. We're all classmates, there's no need to make such a fuss."

"It's rare to come out and relax, the most important thing is to have fun. Don't worry about it so much, let's continue playing."

"Three people have been eliminated now. Shen Mengwu, you haven't been eliminated yet. If you work hard, you might be able to get rid of your last-place ranking."

One of the girls accurately guessed Shen Mengwu's thoughts.

Shen Mengwu suddenly quieted down and played the game seriously, while Shen Fuyu's eyes were full of smiles.

Murong Yue's gaze fell on Shen Fuyu.

Shen Fuyu is obviously a man of few words, and hardly ever opens his mouth unless it is necessary. However, Murong Yue inexplicably feels that all this is inseparable from Shen Fuyu.

After all, the changes in the Shen sisters only began after Shen Fuyu appeared.

Murong Yue believes in intuition very much. She was able to grow up smoothly in the palace over the years and have Master Shangguan as her teacher. It was because of her intuition that Murong Yue avoided all risks.

"boom!"

The drums stopped and the flower fell into Shen Fuyu's hands.

Shen Fuyu readily chose to be eliminated.

Shen Fuyu does not like to attract attention, nor does he want to show off by using the wisdom of the ancients.

Unless necessary.

Shen Fuyu can choose to admit defeat, but the Shen sisters cannot.

Anyway, Shen Fuyu is just a book boy. Whose book boy is a genius?

Shen Fuyu is very open-minded and does not think highly of himself.

Time passed little by little, and in the end only three people were left holding on.

Shen Mengning, Shen Mengwu, Jiang Shaojin.

It is surprising that Shen Mengwu has been able to hold on until now.

strangeness.

Is Shen Mengwu secretly working hard, or are they being lazy?
Naturally, this is inseparable from Shen Fuyu's help.

Just now, Shen Fuyu figured out how to speak using spiritual energy.

It was almost right next to Shen Mengwu's ear, and no one else would notice it except Shen Mengwu herself.

Shen Fuyu was very curious and unconsciously began to look forward to the day when he would formally practice with Shen Yi.

She only has a basic understanding, but it is enough to crush ordinary people.

Does it mean that one day she can also become like an immortal?
Thinking of that scene, Shen Fuyu's heart beat violently, and his desire to practice reached its peak.

The moment Shen Fuyu was distracted, the game of passing the flower to the beat of the drum came to an end.

As expected, Jiang Shaojin came in first and Shen Mengning came in second.

Shen Mengwu came in third.

Shen Mengwu felt a little regretful. The first place winner got to choose the reward first, so she probably wouldn't be able to get Murong Yue's wolf hair brush.

It’s not that she likes wolf hair brushes that much, but Shen Mengwu just wants to slap Murong Yue in the face.

"Don't worry, good days are yet to come."

Shen Fuyu patted Shen Mengwu's shoulder to comfort her.

"Yeah!" Shen Mengwu nodded vigorously.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shaojin did not choose wolf hair brush.

Instead, he took an inkstone.

Shen Mengwu immediately ran over and took the wolf hair brush from Murong Yue's desk.

She bared her small white teeth and said, "Thank you so much."

"It just so happens that I've been planning to practice calligraphy recently. Princess Murong is such a timely help. She saved me from having to buy wolf-hair brushes."

"Why is it so beautiful?"

Shen Mengwu held the wolf hair brush in her hand and looked left and right, wishing she could poke it into Murong Yue's eyes and make her look carefully.
