After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Setting Up Obstacles
“Ah-choo!” Sitting in the car, Zhouzhou suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her nose and muttered, “That Big Fool must be talking something bad about me.”

Hearing this, Mu Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, but soon his expression turned serious as he looked at Zhouzhou and cautioned her, “Zhouzhou, be careful this time.”

With Cen Zhiyuan’s vengeful personality, he would definitely resort to dirty tricks. Whether Zhouzhou could participate in Mystery Sect Conference was secondary; her safety was the primary concern.

Zhouzhou wasn’t worried about it herself. She patted her little chest and said, “Don’t worry, how can that brat bully me, his grandpa!”

Qin Lie: “…”

Mu Xuan: “Alright, Grandpa Zhouzhou.”

With Zhouzhou’s abilities as a junior disciple, there was no need to worry too much.

Hearing Mu Xuan’s address, Zhouzhou grinned and said, “That sounds good! If that Big Fool dares to play dirty tricks, I’ll make sure to beat him up and make him call me Grandpa Zhouzhou!”

They didn’t need her to take action; they wouldn’t let him off easily.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

When Zhouzhou got off the car, she noticed that there was another person at the entrance. It was a girl who appeared to be in her early twenties. She idly held a fan in her hand and wore a short skirt despite the cold weather. She tied her hair into twin tails, and there was a lollipop in her mouth. Her baby face was full of innocence, resembling a high school student.

Zhouzhou approached her, looked up, and then touched her own spiky hair, feeling victorious. She had won!

Her hairstyle was cooler.

Thinking about it, she looked at the girl and asked, “Sister, are you here to take the exam too?”

“Yes,” Wen Jing replied, her eyes glancing at the little girl. Her gaze fell on the small dragon handcuffs around Zhouzhou’s waist, and she curled her lips, pinching Zhouzhou’s spiky hair. She praised, “Nice hairstyle.”

Zhouzhou liked hearing these words. She proudly pointed backward with her chubby hand and said, “My dad did it for me!”

“Really?” Wen Jing glanced indifferently at Qin Lie, showing little interest. She quickly shifted her attention back to Zhouzhou and introduced herself, “I’m Wen Jing.”

“Wen?” Zhouzhou exclaimed in surprise. “What a coincidence! My Fourth Elder Aunt’s surname is also Wen!”

Wen Jing shook her head. “Not that Wen. It’s the rumored Wen.”

Ah, they’re not the same character.

Zhouzhou nodded and asked curiously, “Sister, how do you know which Wen my Fourth Elder Aunt is?”

Qin Lie and Mu Xuan also looked over with a guarded expression. This person seemed harmless, but their instincts told them that she was dangerous.

Wen Jing, however, calmly pinched her hand with a meaningful look and said, “I calculated it.”

Can she really calculate that?

Zhouzhou tilted her head and looked at her, full of admiration.

Seeing her reaction, Wen Jing couldn’t help but chuckle and playfully pinched her chubby cheeks. This little girl, where did they find her? She’s quite amusing.

While they were chatting, the door suddenly opened, and a person in Taoist robes came out with a stern face. He spoke, “This is an examination hall, please remain silent.”

Zhouzhou stopped talking.

Wen Jing casually glanced at him and didn’t pay him much attention. She lowered her gaze and pinched Zhouzhou’s spiky hair again, playing with it.

The person in charge frowned upon seeing this and said with displeasure, “Hurry up and go in. The exam is about to begin.”

Zhouzhou nodded and waved to Qin Lie and Mu Xuan, “Dad, Eldest Senior Brother, I’m going in.”

“Go ahead.”

“Good luck.”

“Yeah! I’ll make Big Fool Cen call me Grandpa!” With that, she proudly took a big step with her chubby little legs and walked in with her head held high.

Upon hearing her words, the person in charge’s eyelids twitched. The “Big Fool Cen” she mentioned, could it be the person he was thinking of?

If that’s the case, this little girl really doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.

Senior Cen is not someone she can afford to offend.

Thinking this, he shook his head and followed them inside.

Looking at Zhouzhou and Wen Jing, he spoke, “The first round of the exam has a time limit of one hour. Let’s begin.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Jing raised an eyebrow. “Wasn’t it two hours before?”

“That was before. Our standards are definitely getting higher. Not just anyone can pass casually.”

Is that so?

Wen Jing smirked, her gaze sweeping over the little girl next to her, who was squatting on the chair due to her short height, completely unaware that she was being targeted. She didn’t say anything more.

“Old grandpa, I want a hundred sheets of paper.” After practicing for the past two days, she could write ten characters on a single sheet.

“What do you need so many sheets for?” the person in charge asked.

“For answering the questions,” Zhouzhou looked at him strangely. What else can you do without answering the questions? She blinked her eyes and asked, “Is that not allowed?”

Glancing at Wen Jing next to her, the person in charge swallowed his “no” back down. After all, there were other people around, and it wouldn’t be good for their reputation if it got out.

He nodded and brought over a stack of paper. “It’s been five minutes already.”

Zhouzhou didn’t say anything. She lowered her head and took out a pen from her bag, then started writing.

The person in charge glanced at her, seeing her struggling to hold the pen in her hand, and shook his head. It seemed that Senior Cen was worrying too much. She couldn’t even write characters, let alone pass the first round, let alone the third round.

That’s fine.

Otherwise, if she had contact with that evil spirit, even if they managed to rescue her, she would likely become a fool.

That evil spirit loves to devour souls.

If any of the three souls or seven spirits are lost, the person will become foolish. It would be better if she didn’t pass.

But looking at her current state, it seems that there’s little hope.

Zhouzhou didn’t know what he was thinking. Just by glancing at him, she knew which sentence to fill in the blank space with the scripture.

As for how to interpret it, she didn’t understand, but her master had said it before.

Her senior brothers didn’t like to listen to their master’s nagging. They would run away as soon as class started, so the master could only drag her and force her to listen.

She didn’t understand what he was saying, but she could memorize it word for word.

Zhouzhou recalled what Li Yuanming had said. With her chubby hand clutching the pen, she wrote them one by one. Looking at the final sentence, “Do you understand?” she crossed out “understand” and replaced it with “see.”

Perfect.

She looked at the test paper, and nodded in satisfaction.

“Time’s up,” the person in charge said, punctuating the moment.

Zhouzhou also put down her pen, and there was a pile of papers on the table.

She had arranged them in order, saving herself the trouble of organizing them.

Because there were only the two of them, they would be grading the papers on the spot.

Wen Jing had no issues. She passed by the passing score, not a point more or less, just right.

She was quite lucky.

The person in charge thought as he took out Zhouzhou’s stack of papers. The words written in the naive handwriting came into his view. He had initially intended to pretend and take a quick look, but after a few pages, his expression slightly changed. He looked at Zhouzhou in astonishment.

Although the handwriting was ugly, it was word for word.

How was this possible?

He continued flipping through the papers, and the result remained the same. Even the last interpretation question had a depth that many of them couldn’t reach, surpassing the standard answer.

How young was she? How could she have such a profound understanding?

“Can we proceed to the second round?” Wen Jing urged impatiently, seeing him staring at those few sheets of paper, his eyes wide open and no reaction for a while.

“Yes.” The person in charge looked at Zhouzhou with a complicated expression.

It seemed like he had underestimated her.

Perhaps she really had a chance to advance to the third round.

At that time, he couldn’t be blamed. He had no choice either.

Noticing his gaze, Zhouzhou suddenly turned her head and stared at him, observing his facial features for a while. Then she grinned, a harmless smile that made her look honest and simple.

Another unfortunate soul.
