Eating big melon is so refreshing

The June sunshine filled the back garden of the prefectural government. Amid the greenery, the famous Luming Banquet was held. This was a feast specially prepared for the newly promoted scholars, aiming to celebrate their achievements and provide them with a platform to showcase their talents.

As the banquet began, the servants brought delicious dishes to the table, the aroma filled the air and made people salivate.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The prefect clapped his hands, and two servants brought a large table. One of the servants held a pen, a blank talisman paper, and special ink.

The prefect took out a box, opened it and took out a talisman. He smiled and said, "I have prepared a small gift for you. Everyone has one chance to copy this talisman. Whoever draws the talisman successfully will not only be given ten blank talisman papers but also a talisman pen."

This news was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. The scholars were talking among themselves, most of them were seeing talismans for the first time, and their hearts were filled with curiosity and nervousness.

"What kind of talisman is this?" He was completely clueless and almost no one recognized it.

The fat boy jumped up from the back seat and asked Xiao Qiulin in a low voice. Xiao Chunya next to him replied lazily, "It's the Peaceful Amulet!"

The "Peaceful Amulet" is not just a simple amulet, but also carries people's good wishes for their future life. Its lines seem simple and smooth, and contain mysterious power. Most beginners cannot complete it in one go, and any pause in the middle means failure.

On this special day, choosing to copy "The Amulet of Peace" is the prefect's earnest expectation and blessing for the scholars.

The prefect said, "There is no need to arrange the copying according to the ranking, but everyone only has one chance, who will go first?"

At the Lu Ming Banquet, except for the first person who can have a table alone, the others sit at a table of four, arranged in order of their names.

"Fatty has always been respectful to the elderly and loving the young. Please go ahead, everyone. I need to grow taller and eat more." Xiao Chunya said it so openly when she was grabbing the food. Her face is getting thicker and thicker.

Many people complained in their hearts, are you growing taller? You are gaining fat!

"Let me throw out some ideas first." Lu Fenghua is good at speaking and has a high IQ. At the age of thirteen, he is estimated to be 1 meters tall, with a childish face that is steadiness and wisdom that does not match his age. He exudes an aristocratic aura from head to toe.

"Quack, what is the cultivation level of this person?" Xiao Chunya couldn't tell and couldn't judge, but she vaguely felt the domineering and reserved nobility hidden under the gentle surface.

This kind of information is too familiar. Young Master Mingyue is this kind of person, but he is still young and knows how to hide his domineering nature.

"Middle stage of dark energy."

"Wow! That's amazing."

“Host, he is five years older than you. You are now only one step away from the dark power. In five years, your achievements will surpass his.” The melon-eating system is not satisfied with the host’s flattery, but does not want to destroy its own prestige. Its host is the most powerful!

Xiao Chunya asked out of the blue, "Am I as tall as him when I was thirteen?"

"We won't compete with him in height, we will compete with him in weight." The melon-eating system said confidently, "Five years from now, you will definitely be heavier than he is now. Even his skinny body won't be enough for you to punch him away!"

After hearing the system speak, Xiao Qiulin picked up something with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, hiding the smile that was about to overflow.

"Good!" There was a cheer. It turned out that Lu Fenghua had drawn a "Peace Talisman" in one go. The prefect fulfilled his promise and rewarded him with ten blank talisman papers and a talisman pen in public.

Seeing the successful start, the scholars behind were eager to try, but unfortunately, after seven or eight attempts, none of them succeeded, and the onlookers became discouraged.

What a bunch of idiots! You dare to join in the fun without having learned anything. Do you think drawing talismans is writing?

Soon, there were less than ten people left who had not drawn talismans. The adults hesitated for a moment, then looked at the children who were eating hard there.

"Is it our turn now?" Xiao Chunya put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth and hands with a handkerchief, then stood up and walked forward with a step that showed no regard for her relatives.

Fat Claw picked up the talisman pen, dipped it in ink, concentrated his mind, and wrote it in one go. With one stroke, he finished the talisman. With a flash of white light, a white talisman was completed.

"Good!" The prefect's eyes were bright and sharp. It was true that one should not judge a person by his appearance. The little fat girl's handwriting was so ugly, but the talisman she drew was so beautiful. He subconsciously asked, "Who did you learn this from, little Xiangjun?"

"Lin Shaoxuan, I learned it from him on the way here." Xiao Chunya revealed the big news, "I was bored yesterday afternoon, so I encouraged the little fat boy to learn it from him."

"Little Fatty?" The prefect was also very smart. He only paused for two seconds before remembering Little Fatty Luo's name. "Luo Fei?"

"Little Fatty, come here quickly. The prefect is calling you." Xiao Chunya waved her paws. She thought that the little fat boy had performed poorly in the exam and only got the last place. It would be best for him to show his presence in front of the prefect and try to make a good impression.

The little fat boy came over happily. Fortunately, he was copying the "Amulet of Peace". If it was something else, it would definitely be exposed.

The prefect praised him again, saying that at the age of eight, being able to draw talismans so fluently was already considered a rare talent among men.

"Actually, we only know how to draw this kind." The little fat boy was naive and exposed their true colors in an instant. The people around him laughed, and the jealousy in their hearts was wiped out.

Lin Shaoxuan's forehead was dark, which showed that he was shrouded in bad luck. Under such circumstances, he was able to pass the exam and rank third. This made the prefect look at him again.

Lin Shaoxuan had only learned three kinds of talismans: the Peace Talisman, the Rain-Praying Talisman, and the Whirlwind Talisman, which were very useful during the Millennium Tribulation. He did not show off in front of the prefect, and he answered whatever was asked.

Meng Haoran could not draw talismans. He was just an ordinary scholar. His only pursuit was to make a contribution to the elders of his hometown.

"Why are you looking so sullen again?" Xiao Chunya pinched her brother's cold face. "You look so dry and not cute at all."

Xiao Qiulin forced out a forced smile, and Xiao Chunya felt a little creepy and couldn't help but take a step back.

Xiao Qiulin's sour face made the prefect a little unhappy. After asking him to draw a talisman, he gave him a gift like everyone else without asking any more questions.

The prefect felt that this little guy was a little spooky, and he felt uncomfortable when he stood in front of him. Those Feng Shui masters dealt with some weird things, so it was better to stay away from them.
