Xiao Shunyang was haggard.
He looked in the direction the guard was pointing, but he only saw the surging crowd. “What?”
“Wei Ting…” The guard also took a closer look, but there was no sign of that little fellow.
“You saw Wei Ting?” Xiao Shunyang asked with a frown.
The guard scratched his head. “I saw his son riding on a man’s neck. It should be Wei Ting.”
Xiao Shunyang asked, “Are you sure you were not mistaken?”
“Well…” The guard was in a dilemma. Xiao Shunyang said, “How many?”
The guard said, “One.”
Xiao Shunyang said thoughtfully, “They’re triplets and won’t be separated easily.”
The guard had only taken a glance just now and felt that the boy was a little similar. However, after hearing His Highness’ words, he was subconsciously affected and suddenly felt that it was not that similar.
“Maybe… I was mistaken.”
The travel passes of Wei Ting and the others were all on Xiao Shunyang. If they really wanted to come to the capital of the Southern Wilderness, they could only use illegal means. Those methods could not be faster than his.
Furthermore, it was impossible for them to obtain travel passes from the officials of the Southern Wilderness.
Had it been one or two, they might be able to buy it at a high price, but a large pile… was simply a fantasy.
“Hold on.”
Xiao Shunyang suddenly became vigilant. The guards were instantly on guard.
“Young Master, what’s wrong?
“We’re being watched.”
It was a terrifying and unfamiliar aura, causing Xiao Shunyang, a prince from the royal family, to tremble.
A guard asked, “Could it be that group of people had given chase into the capital?”
Xiao Shunyang said, “It’s not them.”
He did not know who it was, but his intuition told him that he might die if he stayed any longer.
He made a prompt decision. “We can’t stay here for long. Let’s return to the inn first! ”
Xiao Shunyang left hurriedly with the guards.
Wei Xu came out of the alley with Xiaohu.
To a peak expert, turning from prey to hunter was just a blink of an eye.
Xiaohu was extremely anxious and his small body swayed. “Grandpa, Grandpa! Xiaohu still wants to see it!”
In the Holy Maiden Temple, the disciples who came to participate in the competition sat separately in the open-air courtyard of the medicine pavilion. Everyone was given a short table, a futon, and a basket of random herbs.
Every herb was tied with a string and numbered.
They had to write the names of the herbs on the paper in order. If they got more than two wrong, they would be eliminated.
What was worth mentioning was that the herbs in each basket were not completely the same. It was impossible to copy someone else’s answers.
Opposite them sat two elders who used to serve as Saintesses.
On the left was Elder Yin, Old Master Yin’s biological sister and Yin Xiaodie’s aunt.
On the right was Elder Lu. She was not from the four great families, but had some connections with the royal family.
In addition, there were also a few ministers inspecting the surroundings to prevent anyone from cheating.
Yin Xiaodie sat beside Su Xiaoxiao.
She had planned to finish writing her own answers before helping Su Xiaoxiao write hers.
Unexpectedly, she looked into the basket and was dumbfounded.
No way, it was so difficult!
She was halfway through when Su Xiaoxiao handed in her paper.
Yin Xiaodie looked at her dumbfounded.
Don’t give up on yourself!
Ifyou can’t answer, I’ll answer for you!
I admit that the question is a little difficult..
It was over, it was over. Her ally was going to be eliminated in the first round.
Cheng Qingxue watched as Su Xiaoxiao was the first to hand in the herbs and answers. A trace of disdain flashed across her heart.
No matter how she disguised herself as the daughter of the Cheng family, she was just an idiot from the countryside.
Did she think a pheasant could become a phoenix? Dream on!
The position of Saintess was not something a lowly girl like her could touch!
Every round of exams had a ranking.
The first day of medical skills was won by accuracy, but if there were two or more who answered as many correctly, those who handed in the paper earlier would be considered more favorably.
Cheng Qingxue was not in a hurry. That girl had clearly filled it in casually. Her real opponents were Yue Qinghuan, Ji Roushu, and Yin Xiaodie.
She was the second to hand it in.
After them were Ji Roushu and Yue Qinghuan.
The youngest, Yin Xiaodie, was the most calm.
Since her ally had given up, there was no need for her to be in a hurry.
She even handed in later than many women from the commoners.
After identifying the herbs, there was still the second medical examination.
Taking the pulse of a real patient.
It was also a lottery. Whoever was drawn would be chosen.
Su Xiaoxiao drew Al.
Yin Xiaodie drew B18.
Yin Xiaodie looked at Su Xiaoxiao resentfully. “Why didn’t you wait for me just now? I would have done it for you! Why did you hand it over after writing randomly?”
“So you wrote nonsense. Didn’t you say that you know medicine? You even came to the Holy Maiden Temple to get medicine for my Elder Mother. Could it be that you’re just swindling?” Cheng Qingxue sneered.
“Emissary Loo is here!”
A young lady shouted.
Everyone turned around and bowed to Emissary Loo.
Emissary Loo returned the greeting with a smile and came to Cheng Qingxue. “I’ve seen your paper. You did well.”
Cheng Qingxue said, “If I did well, you mean…”
Emissary Lu deliberately didn’t look at Su Xiaoxiao and clarified with a smile, “You didn’t mistake a single herb.”
On the other side, the Ji family and the Yue family’s connections also came to report.
However, from Yue Qinghuan and Ji Roushu’s vexed expressions, they did not do as well as Cheng Qingxue.
Emissary Loo had long seen the examination papers of the four of them. Cheng Qingxue and Yin Xiaodie got all their answers right, but Cheng Qingxue handed in the papers before Miss Yin. Her final results would definitely be ahead of Yin Xiaodie.
There was nothing to worry about for the next segment.
The Saintess had already made arrangements.
Emissary Loo tidied Cheng Qingxue’s sleeve. “Just wait to enter the second round with the first place.”
Yin Xiaodie rolled her eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao asked her, “Is there a reward for first place?”
Yin Xiaodie said in surprise, “You don’t know? If you get first place in every round, regardless of whether you can become the Saintess in the end, you can obtain a reward from the Holy Maiden Temple. If you don’t want a reward, you can exchange for a treasure from the Holy Maiden Temple.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Medicinal herbs too?”
Yin Xiaodie: “Of course!”
“What about the Snake Bone Flower?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Yin Xiaodie thought for a moment. “The Snake Bone Flower is also from the Holy Maiden Temple. You can take it.”
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes.
That would be great..
