Zuo Ci, who was writing a report, sneezed and thought that his daughter should have reached the mountain by now!

My brother said that going out more often is good for your health.

Xie Xian held her waist and gasped for breath, but Tu Zhen next to her was laughing at the joke. She was also speechless. Xie Xian was exercising, but she was intermittent. She said that she wanted to exercise well and not be controlled by others, but in less than two days, she was lying down.

Feng Chan stepped forward cautiously and said, "Hello, ladies."

It was really that Tu Zhen put too much pressure on them. Female knights were rare in the South. The most important thing was that the mountain road was so wide, and the two of them blocked the road completely when heading to that station.

"Can I take a breath?" Xie Xian looked back impatiently.

Tu Zhen looked at him sneerfully: "You're blocking the way!"

She was tall to begin with, and she looked down at him with her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she was not someone to be trifled with.

Xie Xian still had her hair in a high ponytail, with a shining lotus crown on her head and her black hair draped over her shoulders.

The temperaments of the two women were very different from those of the girls from the South. One was extremely heroic, while the other was extremely noble, leaving Xu Ansheng and Feng Chan stunned in place.

Xie Xian waved her hand, stepped aside, and signaled the two to leave quickly. Although she was annoyed by Tu Zhen's nagging, the passers-by were innocent.

The four of them passed each other, and after walking a few steps, they heard the fat man in front say, "I'm panting after climbing the mountain. There are people who are as weak as me!"

Xu Ansheng took Feng Chan and took two quick steps, signaling him to shut up.

"Haha!" Tu Zhen who was standing behind laughed out loud.

"I'm suffering from lack of oxygen, not weakness!" Xie Xian insisted.

"Who loves to be lazy most on weekdays?"

The two continued to climb up, and then they heard another voice, "Hey! It's so hot, and that chivalrous woman is wearing all black. Isn't she hot?"

Tu Zhen clenched his fists, wondering where this gossip came from.

"Haha! I told you to change into something new, but you didn't listen. Are you stupid?" Xie Xian started to mock her mercilessly.

Tu Zhen snorted coldly and walked forward quickly.

"Hey! I haven't rested enough yet, wait for me!"

Xu Anxin, who was walking in front, pulled Feng Chan and walked very fast, wishing she could free up one hand to cover his mouth.

Looking at the two figures, one in blue and one in black, gradually distancing themselves from each other, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you climbing so fast? I'm so tired." Feng Chan took out the water bag from his waist and took two sips.

Rejecting Feng Chan's kindness, Xu Ansheng said that he had it. He paused and said, "Those two are not simple. Please stop talking." He was also convinced that this classmate was too straightforward in speaking and was not afraid of being beaten.

Feng Chan turned his head reluctantly: "I looked at them when I passed by just now. They are the same height as you and me. Wow, such heroic ladies are really rare."

The aesthetics of this era were still at the stage of pursuing tall, white and strong, and the concept of female beauty had not yet been solidified. Originally, Xie Xian's height of 1.65 meters was not outstanding, but when standing next to Tu Zhen, who was 1.7 meters tall, the seven-foot female figure naturally attracted attention.

"Really? I compared myself with them just now when we were on the same level. Maybe they are taller than you!" Feng Chan was afraid that Xu Ansheng would not believe him, so he gestured with his hands.

Xu Ansheng began to regret why he decided to climb the mountain with this guy. Just by his mouth, he could be so pissed off that he almost died.

Xie Xian, who had just caught up, heard this and almost laughed to death. This chatterbox was attacking everyone indiscriminately, which made her feel relieved.

Hearing Xie Xian's hearty laughter behind him, Xu Ansheng picked up Feng Chan and ran away.

"Hey! Why are you running so fast? What that chatterbox said just now was quite interesting. We might as well go up the mountain together and have some fun!" Xie Xian said with some regret as she watched the two people in front running farther and farther away.

Tu Zhen was speechless: "You just laughed so loudly that everyone ran away."

"What do you know? This is called men and women working together without getting tired." Xie Xian shook her hair and thought it was a bad idea. She should have brought an umbrella with her. She was wilted in the sun.

"Okay, time is almost up." Tu Zhen stood in the shade by the road without a drop of sweat.

When Xu Ansheng heard what Xie Xian said, his face turned red and he moved even faster.

"Wait, wait, my shoes are going to fall off." Feng Chan yelled, but he also caught up with her speed. God knows it was the first time in his life that he heard such reckless words. He felt that the two of them were being teased by the girl.

But when these words came from the mouth of the girl in blue, they didn't feel any discomfort at all.

There are bamboo forests and green grass on the mountainside.

There was a pavilion beside the mountain path. Many people were already resting inside. Xu and Feng were sweating profusely, as if there was a ghost chasing them.

He walked forward, bowed to everyone, and sat down to rest.

The people who had arrived earlier had been chatting for a while, and when they saw the two of them, someone immediately said, "Brothers, why are you so anxious?"

They were sweating profusely, and Feng Chan even broke one of his shoes, looking a bit embarrassed. Feng Chan was about to speak, but Xu Ansheng stopped him and said with a bow, "Hello everyone, we were afraid we would miss it, so we left in a hurry."

"Everyone here is here for the Xie family's recruitment exam!"

"That's right." Everyone echoed.

Looking around, everyone was a little surprised. The Xie family's selection criteria were too strange. They were all children from poor families.

Xu Ansheng thought that his family background had enabled him to be selected only because of his talent, but he discovered that there were people who were even poorer than him. He looked at a student with holes in his shoes and frowned.

These poor kids were all unknown in the academy, but now they were gathered together in such a grand manner. If it weren't for the note in his arms as evidence, he would have thought it was a prank by the lady of the Xie family.

These commoners, apart from their own knowledge, have no advantage over those students with aristocratic family backgrounds, so many of them are still unsettled when they reach middle age.

Apparently someone noticed this, "May I ask you, have you ever sent a name card to the princess's mansion?"

Everyone looked at each other with a slight movement in their hearts, and they understood that everyone present were indeed the ones who had been screened out.

"Don't mention the Princess's Mansion anymore. We are participating in the examination for the Xie family this time." An elderly Confucian scholar said with a sad face.

He was wearing a half-worn scholar's robe and had a saddle bag on his shoulder that was stained with oil. It seemed that he had hurried here from his work place.

"It's extreme, it's extreme."

"But there's not even paper and pen in this place. How can we answer the questions?" someone was puzzled. They had climbed the mountain right away and were exhausted. Now it was almost noon and the real person had not shown up yet.

Xu Ansheng's mind flashed with a blue and a black figure, and he was a little suspicious, but he dismissed the idea in an instant.

A group of servants walked out of the bamboo forest, brought out a lounge chair and placed it in the middle of the pavilion. Then they brought out a folding table, unfolded it, put a kettle on it, and then spread a velvet blanket and placed fruits on it.
