My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 97 Past and Present
Since she could remember, Xiao Qing had almost never been refused. As the legitimate daughter of a second-grade grandmaster, she only needed to say a word to get whatever she wanted.

Her long-standing carefree attitude had made her almost forget that rejection even existed.

This time, she traveled from the state capital to Kunyun County against her will, intending to return immediately after seeing Huang Tian. However, she never imagined that the latter would not even want to see her, which was simply going against the natural order!

I haven't even rejected you yet, how dare you reject me?!
Xiao Qing's fair face flushed crimson, her delicate eyebrows arched, and she glared angrily at the servant in brocade robes. "He really refused?"

"Refused."

Sensing the Third Miss's anger, the servant in brocade robes broke out in a cold sweat and answered tremblingly.

"Didn't you tell him about my background?"

“I told you, I told you it was the Xiao family from the capital, but…”

But he still refused, without even the slightest hesitation.

"How dare you! How arrogant!" Xiao Qing grew even angrier. "You're just a genius from the countryside, how dare you refuse me!"

The servant in brocade robes dared not utter a sound, but Zhou Miaosu spoke up at the opportune moment, saying, "Don't be angry. Perhaps he really has important business to attend to and can't get away for the time being?"

Xiao Qing snorted coldly: "No matter how important your business is, you have to come to my meeting first!"

Zhou Miaosu was speechless for a moment.

"People from small towns just have no manners!"

Xiao Qing cursed a few times, almost having the idea of ​​sending the old woman who had come with her to teach Huang Tian a lesson. However, she was just arrogant, not stupid. She couldn't bear the consequences of forcibly attacking the commander of Zhenwu Guard. Therefore, she could only rage helplessly and feel resentful.

Seeing that Xiao Qing hadn't gone crazy or done anything irrational, Zhou Miaosu felt relieved and said softly, "Anyway, didn't you want to have anything to do with him? It's good that he's not coming, isn't it?"

"How can they be the same?" Xiao Qing was about to retort.

One problem is that I don't want to see him, and the other is that he rejected me!
But the words stuck in her throat. After a few breaths, she finally said, "Hmph, it's better not to see such a proud genius. I'll go back to the city tomorrow and never come to this backwater again!"

She turned to look at Zhou Miaosu, "Miaosu, will you come back with me?"

Zhou Miaosu shook her head slightly, "I should stay in Kunyun County for a while longer."

"Why?" Xiao Qing's eyes widened, then suddenly, as if remembering something, she asked suspiciously, "You're not staying because of that rude guy, are you?"

"I just feel that although Kunyun County is not as prosperous as the state capital, it has its own kind of simplicity, and I plan to stay here and take a good look around."

"Really?"

"real."

Xiao Qing looked Zhou Miaosu up and down with a strange expression, and suddenly said, "I won't leave tomorrow. When I came here, my father told me to stay in Kunyun County for a few more days. If he sees me rushing back, I'm bound to get a scolding."

Besides, since you're staying here too, Miaosu, I might as well keep you company.

Zhou Miaosu pursed her lips and slowly nodded, "Okay."

In Moon Cloud Garden, the atmosphere gradually became inexplicable...

In an elegant courtyard near Yueyun Garden, Xue Ting, who had come to the county city with Xiao Qing and Zhou Miaosu, stood before a cluster of flowers, his brows slightly furrowed:
"Uncle Li, are you saying that Huang Tian refused my cousin's invitation to the garden party tomorrow?"

A sturdy middle-aged man behind him nodded. "That's right. It's said that he declined because he had important business to attend to, and Miss Biao got very angry and dissatisfied because of that."

"Hmph, my cousin is spoiled and pampered. She has never been rejected by anyone before. She only came to Kunyun County reluctantly this time, and now that Huang Tian has rejected her, of course she is furious."

Xue Ting clicked his tongue in disappointment, then said regretfully, "Our plan has fallen through. Huang Tianming isn't attending the garden party tomorrow, so we have no way to get in touch with him, let alone uncover his so-called secrets." Uncle Li suggested, "Why don't we just pay him a visit?"

Xue Ting waved his hand, "He almost never sees outsiders, and it would be inappropriate for me to visit him on any grounds."

He paced back and forth a few times, then bent down and gently sniffed a delicate flower for a while. His eyes suddenly brightened. "I remember when he first entered the medical school, he had a roommate named He Xu?"

Uncle Li briefly recalled the information he had gathered, "There is such a person."

"very good!"

Xue Ting clapped his hands gently. "I have investigated carefully. Huang Tian's real rise to power began when he entered the Imperial Academy. From then on, he made rapid progress. If he really has any secret treasure, he should have obtained it around that time. He Xu ate and lived with him for many days. Perhaps he noticed something?"

Uncle Li nodded slowly, "It is indeed very possible!"

"He Xu and his fellow martial arts students have been in the Imperial Guard Academy for about two months now. Has he developed any strength yet?"

"According to my investigation, that's not the case."

"So, he's about to be expelled from Wei Xue?"

Xue Ting chuckled, "It's like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy. If He Xu were still in Wei Xue, it wouldn't be convenient for me to make a move against him."

He'll be expelled soon, and arresting him won't cause any trouble. Uncle Li, to be on the safe side, you should go yourself and bring him back to me.

"Yes!"

Uncle Li was a fourth-rank martial artist; capturing someone who hadn't even mastered the basics of internal energy would be a piece of cake for him.

The following day at noon, after having his last meal at the Weixue Canteen, He Xu returned to Room 32, Building B, feeling utterly dejected, and sat on the bed in a daze.

"Huang Tiancheng has become a commander of a thousand households, Jiang Hou has mastered his strength, but as for me, I have accomplished nothing..."

Recalling two months ago, the three of them were chatting in the house. He said that practicing strength was nothing special; at least one should become a minor officer to be truly impressive. But now…

"If I were to plead with Heaven, perhaps it could help me..."

The thought flashed through He Xu's mind, and he was immediately tempted. But then he thought again that his relationship with Huang Tian didn't seem to be very good, and even if he went to Huang Tian's door to ask for help, the latter might not agree.

"...No, I still have to go. What if he agrees? I don't want to go back to my old life, dealing with mud and fields all day long. I want to become a high and mighty martial artist!"

He gritted his teeth and made a decision. There was a loud banging on the door. He got up and opened it. A stern-faced clerk stood in the doorway: "He Xu, is that right? Have you packed your things?"

"It's all packed up."

"Pack up and leave. You haven't developed any strength in two months, it's time to leave Wei Xue. Make sure to vacate this room as soon as possible."

He Xu took a deep breath. "I understand. I'll leave now."

'I'll go find Huang Tian as soon as I leave Weixue. For the sake of us being roommates, I'll beg him to help me out!'

With his bundle on his back, he followed a few others who had been expelled from the school out of the gate.

He stood in front of the gate in a daze for a while before finally lifting his foot and walking towards Qinghui Garden.

Just as Qinghui Garden came into view, a sudden gust of wind swept over the back of his head, and his body went limp and he collapsed.
