Young White Horse: The Poison Sword Master of the Wen Family, Shocking the Apocalypse

Chapter 76: Jintai First Test, Everyone Shows Their Skills (1)

Tianqi City, Qianjintai Casino.

On the high platform, from afar, there was a young man in a green shirt and white gauze, with a bald man sitting next to him.

The bald man would come up to the young master from time to time, saying something...

"Master Liu Yue, if you have any other instructions, please let me know. I, Tu Zao, will definitely support you!"

Uncle Tu, dressed in silk and satin, waved his folding fan and spoke flatteringly to Young Master Liu Yue, who was sitting next to him and wearing a white veil on his head.

"I think the arrangement is almost done. Thank you, Mr. Tu!"

Young Master Liu Yue responded while holding the teacup in one hand. His little follower Ling Su stared at the stage with big black eyes. The waiters of Qianjintai Casino were setting up the examination room for tomorrow's initial trial.

The owner of Qianjintai is this bald guy. His surname is Tu Zao and his name is Tu Wan. He has a younger brother whose surname is Tu Wan and he is a master of gambling.

Several maids stood in a row behind Tu Zao, each holding a round fan in their hands, constantly fanning Tu Zao.

Even so, Tu Zao was still sweating profusely. On the other hand, Liu Yue, who was sitting next to him, although wearing a long gown, exuded a cool aura.

"Mr. Liu Yue is too polite. It is my good fortune that I, Tu Zao, can contribute a little to the school. Even if I lose 18,000 taels of silver a day, I will not hesitate!"

Tu Zao's words were full of hidden meanings. Liu Yue was so smart that she could hear his hidden meaning:

"How can we let Master Tu lose money? Tomorrow morning the school will send someone to report Master Tu's losses to us!"

When Tu Zao heard this, his mouth almost stretched to his ears, but he said something else:

"Oh, how can this be done? Since it was Young Master Liu Yue who spoke, I, Tu, would have already refused disrespectfully..."

Liu Yue's face beneath the white veil showed no expression, but Ling Su, the porcelain doll-like follower beside her, had her lips pouted high with a look of contempt.

"Since there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave now. Goodbye, Uncle Tu!"

Liu Yue turned her body to the side, clasped her fists and bowed slightly to Tu Zao.

"Well, I'll send you off, Master Liu Yue!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Zao hurriedly stood up from the armchair and bowed to Liu Yue to see her off.

……

The next day at yin time, at Qianjintai Casino.

There were two teams of armored guards in front of the gate. A captain saluted Young Master Liu Yue:

"Sir, the guards have been arranged. There will be people guarding the entrance and exit of Qianjintai strictly to ensure that this first test will be safe!"

Young Master Liu Yue bowed:

"Thank you, Captain Liang. The side hall of Qianjintai has prepared some refreshments and drinks. You can go and rest first. If there is anything, I will ask Lingsu to go find the captain!"

When the captain surnamed Liang heard that there were still refreshments and drinks, he smiled:

"Thank you, sir!"

These guards were naturally borrowed by Liu Yue from Xiao Ruofeng.

In addition to the civil and military examinations, it is still unknown what kind of strange formations these candidates will come up with.

Liu Yue made such arrangements to prevent any accidents and to maintain order outside the venue.

Liu Yue took Ling Su and checked around Qianjintai inside and out, making sure everything was ready before returning to the platform and sitting down.

Ling Su wrinkled her powdered nose:

"Sir, you're really too meticulous. We went around once last night and again just now."

"My ankles are almost swollen after these two days!"

As he said this, he sat down on the chair that Tu Zao had originally occupied.

While Liu Yue was not paying attention, Ling Su stretched out her little hand and grabbed a piece of Nansha pastry from the plate.

Liu Yue's voice was leisurely:

"You, I think you haven't practiced hard enough. Master has entrusted me with such an important task, so naturally there can be no room for error."

"If you're going to do it, do it perfectly! If all goes wrong, it's better not to do it at all."

Lingsu's mouth was bulging. After secretly eating the Nansha pastry, she wiped her mouth:

"Young Master is good-looking, so whatever he says is right!"

Liu Yue raised her folding fan and gently tapped Ling Su's hair:

"You're being a talker again!"

……

In the blink of an eye, it was almost the hour of Mao. Outside Qianjin Terrace, the streets were already filled with the noise of people and the sound of horses' hooves.

Soon, candidates of different identities and appearances entered Qianjintai.

The instructors in the school were responsible for welcoming the candidates and leading them to their respective examination seats. For a moment, Qianjintai became lively.

Among those who came to take the exam were royal relatives and princes of Tianqi City, as well as children of wealthy and prestigious families in other cities.

"Cousin, why do you see that man carrying a cow?"

In the crowd, Baili Dongjun looked from afar and saw a strong man carrying a whole cow and running towards Qianjintai.

Wen Yanzhao looked in the direction of the voice:

"It's rare. What are you competing for? Butchering an ox or a whole-ox feast?"

Baili Dongjun pulled Wen Yanzhao over, rushed to the gate of Qianjintai, and followed the instructor to his seat.

Wen Yanzhao and Baili Dongjun were sitting on the Geng and Xin seats on the right.

"Hey, Xiao Baili, where are your brewing equipment?" Wen Yanzhao asked as he took out various grains for brewing from the storage space.

Baili Dongjun looked calm and composed:

"Don't worry about that. I've already asked Lei Lao Er to arrange for someone to bring it in soon!"

Fortunately, although there were many people in Qianjintai, they were all busy with their own affairs and did not notice that Wen Yanzhao had just performed a magic trick and took out the grains for brewing wine out of thin air.

But on the high platform, the little follower Ling Su saw everything Wen Yanzhao did just now clearly!

"Young Master, look at that man. He can take things from the air! So amazing..."

Ling Su pulled Liu Yue who was drinking tea and exclaimed.

Liu Yue looked in the direction of the voice and saw ripples in Wen Yanzhao's right hand. He then took out a bag of sorghum rice from the void and threw it to Baili Dongjun.

"Tsk~ Is this a magic trick? There are countless talented people in the world, there is nothing to be surprised about!"

"But both Baili Dongjun and the young master of the Wen family look quite like me."

Liu Yue was not very concerned. He looked around and found that except for Wen Yanzhao and Baili Dongjun who had just entered, no one caught his eye.

Ling Su pursed his lips and said jokingly:

"You can't change your habit of being obsessed with looks, so what if someone is ugly but has good grades?"

Liu Yue replied nonchalantly:

"It doesn't matter. I won't look at his face."

Ling Su: “…”

Baili Dongjun sorted the materials for brewing wine one by one and packed them in cloth bags according to the proportion of their respective uses.

Wen Yanzhao looked at Baili Dongjun fiddling with the grains with curiosity:

"I always thought my cousin was a young marquis who didn't know the difference between grains. I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable about grains!"

Baili Dongjun held the peas in his hand and said proudly:

"My cousin, you really underestimate me. Look at these peas. They are to soften the spiciness of the wine."

"Sorghum liquor is refreshing, but lacks mellow flavor."

"The glutinous rice wine is sweet, but the liquid is cloudy."

"Fruit wine is sweet and refreshing, but it easily spoils..."

Baili Dongjun introduced Wen Yanzhao to the various ways of making wine as if he knew everything about it...

At this moment, Yin Luoxia used her lightness skills to fly over the crowd and into the Qianjintai.

"Look, sir, that sister who just flew in is so beautiful!"

Ling Su jumped up from Tu Zao's seat, pointed at Yin Luoxia and shouted to Liu Yue.

Liu Yue had already seen it and said softly, "This girl is pretty."

Ling Su came close to Liu Yue and asked with a smile through the white veil:

"If this girl fails the exam, what will you do, sir?"

Liu Yue smiled:

"It would be a shame if you fail the exam! What are you planning now?"

Ling Su stuck out her tongue: "I thought the Master would make an exception for once!"

Liu Yue: "Nonsense, I'm not that kind of person."

……

Baili Dongjun, who was tending to the wine-making materials, had his back to Yin Luoxia and did not see her come in.

Yin Luoxia had already seen the two of them, so she crossed the fence and greeted Wen Yanzhao:

"Master Wen, Baili Dongjun, you two brothers are here so early!"

When Baili Dongjun heard this voice, the glutinous rice in his hand fell to the ground, and he turned around with a smile on his face:

"Sister Luoxia is here. Which seat are you at? When I brew the wine today, you must try my craftsmanship!"

"I wonder what Sister Luoxia is competing in today? If it's a beauty contest, I guess you'll win right away..."

Wen Yanzhao was holding back his laughter. Seeing his cousin being so attentive, he couldn't bear to disturb him. He took out some crucibles, porcelain bowls, pestles, and silver spoons for making poison from the storage space...

Yin Luoxia smiled brightly:

"Okay, okay, I heard you say yesterday that the wine you brew is famous in Tianqi, I must try it today!"

Afterwards, Yin Luoxia followed the instructor to her seat, which was opposite Baili Dongjun, on the left side.

“Cousin, your sticky rice has all been spilled, don’t look at it…be a little more promising!”

"You went to the market to buy things yesterday. If I hadn't stopped you, you would have gone back to the inn with them to drink at night!"

"Hiss...Uncle, do you know that your nephew is like this..."

Wen Yanzhao saw that Baili Dongjun was staring at Yin Luoxia opposite him with a smile on his face, which was really unbearable to watch.

Just as Wen Yanzhao was muttering to himself, a man wearing a conical hat and a black suit came in from outside.

Following the instructor, he sat in Baili Dongjun's seat with the number Ren.

The man took off his hat, revealing an extremely ordinary face, but his eyes were like cold stars in a frosty night.

Wen Yanzhao knew it was Ye Dingzhi at a glance, and did not say anything, but poked Baili Dongjun with his pestle:

"Cousin, the person next to you is not simple!"

Baili Dongjun looked over when he heard the voice, and his eyes met Ye Dingzhi's when he looked back!

"Such a familiar look..."

This thought came to their minds almost at the same time. At this moment, they heard the instructor ask:

"The candidate with the masked face, don't push! What's your name?"

The masked man clasped his fists and saluted:

"Candidate Zhao Yujia, seat number T!"
