After crossing over, the demon king rolled in my arms and acted like a spoiled child

Bai Jiyue puffed out his chest slightly.

Then the governor said, "Although you are a woman, you are calm in the face of danger, your thinking is clear, and your martial arts are also strong. Not bad, not bad, I give you a 9!"

Everyone immediately looked at Bai Jiyue with envy.

Bai Jiyue holds his head high and chest out, so proud!

The governor looked at Bai Yiri again and said, "You are not bad either. You managed to hit the target in the chaos, and you and your sister cooperated perfectly. I give you an 8."

There was an uproar among the crowd. With the scores announced, the first, second and second place winners of the competition were already determined.

Shirakari Hibiki ranked first with a total score of 32, and Shirakari Tsuki ranked second with a total score of 31!

The prefect waved his hand at everyone, and they immediately quieted down.

The governor then looked at the other people, and his eyes fell on Xie Ping first: "You are good at martial arts. You fought several prisoners alone. I give you 7 points!"

Next was Zhu Yuan, who scored 6 points. Although Ma Qiao was slashed by the prisoner, he scored 5 points because he had fought well before.

The final results showed that Zhu Yuan ranked third with a total score of 25 points, while Xie Ping and Ma Qiao tied for fourth with a total score of 23 points.

Since then, the top five contestants of the selection competition were announced: Bai Jiri, Bai Jiyue, Zhu Yuan, Xie Ping, and Ma Qiao.

These five people also performed well in previous games, so the audience in the stands were not too surprised and gave them applause to congratulate them.

As dusk fell, the selection competition finally came to an end.

The prefect set up a banquet in his mansion and invited the five young people to the banquet to build relationships with each other.

Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiri first sent their mother, sister and Mingyuan back to the inn, ordered a delicious dinner for them, and then changed their clothes to attend the banquet.

Bai Jiyue knew the other four people except Zhu Yuan.

After introducing each other at the banquet, Bai Jiyue learned that Zhu Yuan was the same age as his elder brother and came from the Sixteenth Village. His father was originally a minor official in the capital, but later he committed a serious crime and his entire family was exiled. During the exile, his parents died of illness one after another, and he became an orphan and ended up living in the Sixteenth Village.

Zhu Yuan was a handsome man with a scholarly air and spoke in a polite manner, which made Bai Jiyue have a good impression of him.

Bai Jiyue also knew about Xie Ping's family background. His father was a human and his mother was from the craftsman clan. Their family had been exiled to the Dark Stone Wasteland several generations ago, so he was considered a native of the Dark Stone Wasteland.

Because of several generations of accumulation, his family is quite wealthy, and he has the blood of a craftsman family, so he is very famous in the second village.

If we talk about Zhang Suya's appearance, she is worthy of Xie Ping.

But after spending an afternoon with Xie Ping, Bai Jiyue felt that Xie Ping had a good outlook on life and that Zhang Suya was not worthy of him. It was just that Zhang Suya was good at putting on airs, which was why Xie Ping was confused.

The prefect is called Cen Changqing, he is thirty-five years old this year. Although he looks majestic when dressed in official clothes, he is actually very amiable to his juniors after changing into casual clothes.

Bai Jiyue always felt that Cen Changqing looked familiar. She searched her memory for a long time but could not find any relevant information.

Everyone was toasting each other, chatting and laughing, and they didn't leave until the moon was at its highest point.

Bai Jiyue and his elder brother left the prefectural government, and halfway through their journey, they were caught up by the master and stopped by him: "Brother and sister of the Bai family, please stay."

Bai Jiyue turned back in surprise: "Master, is there something wrong?"

"The governor invites the Bai brothers and sisters to the study for a chat."

After these words were spoken, Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiri looked at each other in surprise.

Is there something important? Why didn't the prefect tell them during the banquet just now? Instead, he had to wait until the banquet was over before asking the lawyer to call them privately?

The two followed the master and turned in another direction, and soon entered the courtyard where the study was located.

The lawyer stopped outside the study, knocked on the door, and waited for a response before letting Bai Jiyue and the others in.

Prefect Cen Changqing was sitting behind the desk, slowly making tea. When he saw Bai Jiyue and the others come in, he gestured for them to sit down together.

Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiri sat side by side opposite the prefect, watching his movements.

Cen Changqing's movements were neither fast nor slow, but methodical, and he looked inexplicably familiar.

Bai Jiyue searched his memory and felt as if the original owner had seen his father brew tea in this way before.

While waiting for the tea to be brewed, Cen Changqing poured a cup for each of them and said with a smile, "Try it. Do you think it tastes good?"

Bai Jiyue picked up the small teacup, took a sip, and the familiar tea fragrance filled her mouth.

Bai Jiri beside her seemed to be moving unusually. She turned around and saw that he was in tears!

"This tea is so delicious. Does the governor know my father?" Bai Jiri asked excitedly.

Cen Changqing smiled and nodded: "More than knowing each other, back in the military camp, I followed your father to make tea for several years. It was because he had such high requirements for making tea that I developed this good skill of making tea!"

Bai Jiyue suddenly understood. No wonder the prefect called them back privately. He must have wanted to reminisce with them.

Bai Jiri stood up and looked at Cen Changqing: "Are you an old subordinate of my father?"

"I was transferred to Dark Stone Wasteland as a governor five years ago. Before that, I had been under General Bai's command." Cen Changqing said with a kind smile, looking Bai Jiri up and down, "When I left, you were only twelve years old, not tall but as strong as a calf. In the past few years, you have grown taller and become a handsome young man."

Bai Jiri laughed: "No wonder I felt that the governor looked familiar when I first saw him. It turned out to be my uncle!"

Cen Changqing nodded and turned his gaze to Bai Jiyue: "This girl must have no impression of me, right? After all, you were still young at that time."

Bai Jiyue followed with a smile and said, "Although I don't have any impression, I somehow feel that my uncle is kind."

Cen Changqing smiled: "They say women are sweet-mouthed, it's true."

After revealing their identities, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little different. Everyone became much friendlier, as if they were relatives meeting again after not seeing each other for many years.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Cen Changqing sighed, "The news in Dark Stone Wasteland is very isolated. It was more than a year later when I heard about General Bai's accident. I was about to ask someone to find out your whereabouts, but I was repeatedly delayed due to my busy official duties. I didn't expect to see you at the selection competition this time."

This really cannot be blamed on the governor. Although he governs the Dark Stone Wasteland, he does not have the household register of all the people in the Dark Stone Wasteland.

The exiled criminals were exiled directly to the villages, and the lists were kept by the village chiefs. The prefect only managed the village chiefs and coordinated the number of people in each village, and he could not see the list of criminals.

"Seeing you two brothers and sisters become successful, I think General Bai would be very pleased if he knew about it!" Cen Changqing finally said with emotion

Bai Yiri instantly burst into tears.

Cen Changqing stroked Bai Jiri's shoulder and said, "Don't worry. When we go to the capital in the future, I will find a way to create opportunities for you two brothers and sisters to stand out in front of the emperor and the queen mother. If you can gain their appreciation, you can return to the capital."
