SHOCKING VENOMOUS CONSORT: FRIVOLOUS MISS
28. My Little White Family is One of a Kind

'This young girl had a powerful monster as her mystical pet?' Ling Chuxi stared carefully around the girl to look at her pet, but she could not see such a creature around her.

Meanwhile, when Ling Chuxi peered out the window at him, Lan Xinyu was walking down the street on horseback looking extremely annoyed. He is not unhappy because there are many people who pay attention to his every move from the sidelines. After all, he had always enjoyed the feeling of being worshipped by others. No, it's not that at all. Lan Xinyu's bad mood was a result of her being lectured by her grandfather before she left the house this morning. He had told her that there would be a young girl with extraordinary abilities participating in the exam this year.

He said that his innate talent was beyond the level possessed by ordinary people, and even the stone monuments of judgment could not hold back his Qi Sea. Lan Xinyu's grandfather did not stop there. He kept rebuking her so as not to continue to be so proud and full of himself. Really joke. Clearly, this incident that Grandfather had heard was just an exaggerated rumor. How could the appraisal stone monument be unable to withstand one's Ocean of Qi? He doesn't believe it!

From the window, Ling Chuxi continued to judge the blue-clothed young girl. The girl seemed to feel her gaze as she suddenly lifted her head to lock the gaze with Ling Chuxi.

They both stared at each other without a word. After some time, one turned around to continue eating his food and the other raised his whip to his horse to continue the path faster.

Although it was not Ling Chuxi's intention, Lan Xinyu's heart stirred uneasily. It was just a cursory gaze, but he saw quite well the peerless face and sharp gaze held by the girl's clear eyes on the window. Who her? He has a striking attitude and temperament.

"What'sthis? Are you also worried about him having monsters?” ask Ling Yichen just like that. He had observed her peering into the streets below as Lan Xinyu passed by.

"No. My family's pets are more than enough. Little White was truly the only one,” chirped Ling Chuxi with a satisfied little laugh. He took out a piece of beef and placed it on the plate in front of Little White.

Little White swung her delicate tail forward and backward, expressing satisfaction with Ling Chuxi's words. He gently lowered his tiny head and began to eat a piece of beef elegantly.

After they finished eating, Ling Yichen took Ling Chuxi around White Stone City for shopping. The last time they visited, they did not take many walks and only stopped to buy weapons before leaving. This time, Ling Yichen decided to take Ling Chuxi to all the popular shopping spots in the city. Or so it seems. In fact, that reason was just a tasty excuse that Ling Yichen used in an attempt to allow Ling Chuxi to remember the location of all the shops in the famous city serving good food.

“The inspection will start tomorrow and so on. We do not need to be rationed to take it at the same time.” Ling Yichen spoke solemnly to Ling Chuxi at dinner. “Although we won't be able to help each other during the exam period, I'm sure you will definitely pass and be accepted into White Stone Academy. All will be fine as long as we work together after the exercise starts.”

"alright then. I've earned. Let's have a soup dumpling tomorrow morning before we go to the academy for the exam.” Ling Chuxi waved her hand indifferently. He recalled passing through the soup dumpling restaurant located near the entrance of White Stone Academy during their trip to the previous city. In his heart, he had already imagined many delicious dumplings in a steaming bowl of hot soup.

"... Sure." Sure." Ling Yichen agreed while showing a weak smile.

...🍗🍗🍗...

The next morning saw Ling Chuxi eating delicious soup dumplings at the restaurant she wanted to visit. After he finished, he went to the White Stone Academy with Ling Yichen behind him. He's ready to take the exam. It is not too late in the morning but there are already quite a number of people in front of the entrance of the academy. Someone comes in, someone goes out. Those who came out wore anxious expressions on their faces. They were unable to pass the exam this time.

Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen entered the White Stone Academy quietly. After they each showed their family tokens as proof that they were within the prescribed age range for the examination, they entered the hall designated for the assessment of the academy's innate talent.

However, problems arise when it comes to the next assessment.

Ling Chuxi handed him a piece of paper that listed the name of the examiner in charge of the assessment he was going to make next. When Ling Yichen looked up and caught a glimpse of the name written on the paper, her always calm and steady demeanor faded away in an instant.

Ling Chuxi read what was written on a piece of paper in her hand, then turned to read what was written on the paper Ling Yichen. “Your examiner is Gu Liwen? Mine is Mu Lifeng.” Ling Yichen did not say anything, causing uncertainty to crawl over Ling Chuxi. He raised his head to look into Ling Yichen's eyes and saw that his normally unread face had turned white.

Besides feeling uncertain, Ling Chuxi now also felt surprised. Ling Yichen was known to be calm and steady without showing any signs of emotion on her face. However, the shadow of his face was now pale and it revealed all the unusual emotions Ling Chuxi needed to conclude that something was wrong. "What's the problem?"

He tilted his head slightly to see the reactions of others around them and realized that they looked at him differently after he read the name of his examiner. Amongst the gazes people were looking at him, he detected shock, pity, and even excitement over his misfortune... Ling Chuxi quickly deduced the archetype linking all these reactions—everyone thought with certainty that he would not be able to pass this exam.

"Chuxi, I don't think Mu Liufeng will be the examiner this year either." Ling Yichen furrowed her brows and spoke in a grim tone.

"Mu Liufeng ... What about this guy?" ling Chuxi asked as she rolled up a piece of paper inscribed with that name between her fingers. He needs context to be able to understand the reaction he has received so far.

"This guy... Well, this guy..." Ling Yichen tried to find the right word to summarize his worries about Mu Liufeng. He took a moment to ponder before slowly continuing in silence. “This person is someone that people find hard to read. No one knows what he's really thinking most of the time. Many said his skills and cultivating ability were very strong and he had a very carefree personality. Therefore, not even the head of the academy was able to handle it. He just did whatever he wanted without any restrictions. He had been a tester before, but none of the participants he examined had ever been accepted. He disappointed every single one of them so rudely that some stopped cultivating for good.” At the end of this speech, Ling Yichen's worries appeared in her voice. If Ling Chuxi failed the exam, it would not matter. However, if he was provoked by Mu Liufeng to the point of stopping cultivating, what was the result of that outcome...

After listening to Ling Yichen's explanation carefully, Ling Chuxi now understood why the other participants around him reacted that way as he read Mu Liufeng's name out loud. It seems like he is a true killer tester. Even if the principal had no way of handling it, what kind of origin or background did Mu Liufeng have?

"Don't worry. A wise man adapts to circumstances, as water molds himself into vessels, right?” Ling Chuxi replied to Ling Yichen's worried expression with a smile and reassured him with words of comfort using proverbs.

Ling Yichen fell silent once again. Observing Ling Chuxi's confident smile, he found himself thinking that perhaps, just maybe, he might be able to pass the impossible test set before him. He sighed. He never expected Mu Liufeng to be a tester again. Hadn't he long since stopped participating in this kind of exam? Why did he take part this year?

'Thou Liufeng, yes. What's he like? Why has no one ever passed the exam with him leading?' Ling Chuxi's curiosity was unavoidable given what she had just heard.

After being divided into several groups, Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen parted ways as each of them was ushered into different parts of the academy by those who oversaw the exam process.

At the forest border that lay behind the vast grounds of White Stone Academy, sat a thin man on a huge rock, looking up at the sky. He was dressed in black. The hue of his clothes matched the ink-like black color of his long hair that flowed from the top of his head and intertwined into an intricate knot held together by a white jade hairpin. There was nothing extraordinary about her face, but her eyes contained an evil charm and were filled with unspoken feelings. It was a striking mismatch with the rest of his face.

“Ck ck. Which little cat will be so unlucky this time?” The man in black clothes slightly opened his lips to speak. His voice was cold and had a cold effect, but it also contained an indescribable charm.

As he spoke, Ling Chuxi calmly walked to the forest border behind the academy grounds under the pitiful gazes of the teacher leading the way there.

“Your examination will be carried out in that place in front of the forest. I wish you all the best." The teacher ran away as if he had seen a ghost before he even finished speaking.
