The youth on the stage had a natural grace and in a day and night, he was able to defeat the enemy. Even though he was not old, his performance was not inferior to those older people. If one were to say that he had the capital to be arrogant, then he indeed had it. As such, the superior and inferior were immediately seen.
The young females below the stage were already stunned from watching. They would usually be doing things in the inner courtyard and would not have the chance to see such a scene. It was nothing more than the annual academy examinations that they were able to feast their eyes on. But even the academy examinations of the previous years were far from the brilliance that Xie Jing Xing showed this year. Most of the young females admired heroes and in addition to Xie Jing Xing's outstanding appearance and bearing, naturally he won over a batch of hearts.
There were some youths who were jealous but most of them were amazed. Su Ming Feng looked from the pavilion far away and smiled as he shook his head, "So the matter that he mentioned was worth celebrating was this. This kid is still as arrogant as before." But Su Ming Feng also knew that what was revealed today was just the tip of the iceberg. Xie Jing Xing was a person that was deeply hidden and did not reveal anything. Now that he was like this, did he want to express something to that person's actions? His expression gradually became serious as he was somewhat unable to see through his good friend's decision.
"That Little Marquis of the Xie family is indeed extraordinary." There was some worship on Feng An Ning's face, "I think that in the entire Ding capital or even the entire Ming Qi, there is no one in the younger generation that could be on par with him."
Shen Miao shook her head.
Xie Jing Xing's forte was after all not in competing here. What he was good at was the most refined combat experience. In fact, if he was not harmed by the Imperial family of Ming Qi in the past lifetime, otherwise with the Xie family's military strength and Xie Jing Xing's prestige in the army, he would be able to split half of the Ming Qi's Imperial family.
It was just that … The defeat of the Xie family was still somewhat of a mystery. Shen Miao sighed in her heart. In the past lifetime, she wholeheartedly helped Fu Xiu Yi and did not know much about the Xie family's matters. Now she was somewhat at a loss.
Xie Chang Chao and Xie Chang Wu were angered by Xie Jing Xing's words to the point that they wanted to vomit blood. Xie Jing Xing's actions looked light but only the both of them knew how serious his injuries were. But the surrounding people did not sympathize with the Xie brothers at all because Xie Chang Wu and Xie Chang Chao had used despicable means to sneak attack. The most important thing in the academy examination was fairness. The actions of the Xie brothers not only made the audience look down on them, but the examiner on the stage also looked down on them. After today, the good reputation that the two of them had previously accumulated would vanish into thin air.
"What a good plan," Shen Miao said softly as she looked at the purple-clothed youth standing with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
Today Xie Jing Xing had led the two Xie brothers by the nose, thus the two Xie brothers lost their usual sense of propriety and used underhanded methods to harm others. He had probably woken up by now, but it was already too late.
To play tricks in front of everyone, the difference between the Di and Shu sons of the residence of the Marquis of Lin An was very clear today.
Xie Jing Xing said lazily to the two of them, "The victor is already decided. Who else wants to challenge?"
The audience was silent.
Everyone could see how Xie Jing Xing dealt with Xie Chang Wu and Xie Chang Chao. It was as if he had knocked down two people with a single spear strike, and these two people were the cream of the crop. For a moment, no one spoke. Xie Jing Xing casually threw the spear in his hands and said, "Since there is no one, then one will take one's leave." Finishing, his sleeves fluttered and he disappeared. Naturally there was a burst of exclamation.
"This fellow's martial arts is not weak." Prince Zhou said, "But it is useless even if he has good martial arts. He is a hard bone."
Pei Lang however sighed in his heart. This Imperial family of Ming Qi looked astute but their eyes were short sighted. This youth was deeply hidden and his actions on the stage just now were intentional. Even though one did not know what it was for, but if it was not to establish prestige, then it must be related to the Imperial family.
He lightly glanced at Prince Zhou and Prince Jing. If the Imperial family were to go against Xie Jing Xing, one fear that they would be in a difficult situation in the future. Because that was a lion. Just like Shen Miao just now.
Even though the examiner was helpless when Xie Jing Xing left on his own accord, he still announced his first rank as usual. The servants of the Xie family's two brothers quickly helped both of them down and were too embarrassed to even greet them as they dejectedly boarded the horse carriage and left.
For the following few challenges, because of Xie Jing Xing's outstanding performance, the others looked very boring and there was no longer any excitement like just now. Thus everyone kept yawning when they saw it.
Shen Yue and Shen Qing would look up at Shen Miao from time to time. Today in the Shen family, other than Shen Miao, Shen Qing and Shen Yue were considered to have been overshadowed. Because of Fu Xiu Yi's relationship, Shen Qing had long hated Shen Miao to the point that she gritted her teeth and felt that Shen Miao had snatched something that belonged to her. As for Shen Yue, she was stubbornly haggling over the fact that Shen Miao had outshone her and her heart was extremely unwilling.
Shen Miao did not know the thoughts of both of them and even if she knew, she would not bother to haggle over it. She instructed Gu Yu to come to her side and whispered a few words to her. When Gu Yu heard it, her expression became stern and she quickly retreated quietly.
At the same time, Prince Yu who was at the male side of the banquet waved his hands and a guard appeared by his side. After respectfully listening to Prince Yu's orders, that guard quickly disappeared from the banquet like a shadow.
In the distant pavilion, Xie Jing Xing finally reappeared by Su Ming Feng's side.
Su Ming Feng clapped a few times and squinted at him, "Why? Are you in the limelight in the Ding capital today?"
"Small matter." Xie Jing Xing said indifferently.
"You are preparing to take action to tidy up the two younger brothers?" Su Ming Feng asked, "It is not your style to suddenly take action."
"Receiving pointers from others." Xie Jing Xing raised his brows, "For some things, the earlier the better. After staying for too long, I also cannot wait."
Su Ming Feng frowned. He felt that Xie Jing Xing's words clearly had other meanings. But he wisely did not ask more. Even though he had many years of friendship with this childhood friend, but the other party had some mysterious background and he would never probe further. His gaze suddenly stopped below for a moment before he said, "But the young lady that you just saved seemed to be in some trouble."
Xie Jing Xing's eyes swept past and saw that at the female side of the banquet, there was a guard handing an invitation to Second Furen of the Shen family, Ren Wan Yun, but his eyes were faintly glancing at the purple clad young female.
Ren Wan Yun held the invitation and was somewhat agitated, "His Highness Prince Yu's actions really make this official's wife's heart terrified. Fifth Lady, still not coming over to thank Prince Yu's invitation? "
Shen Miao's eyes congealed and she stared at Ren Wan Yun, and her lips hooked up into a sneer.
Really want to play the same old trick again?
Facing Shen Yue's and Shen Qing's gloating gaze, she lazily stretched her waist and there was a bit of darkness in her clear eyes.
"Alright." Her lips hooked up, "I will definitely 'thank' him properly."
A flash of interest appeared in Xie Jing Xing's eyes, "There is a good show to watch."
