Xiao Yue jumped up and down, saying: "The chapter update is less than 50%, just wait until midnight and you can read it!" Wen He and Qing Yang looked at each other in dismay, their earlier excitement completely gone, replaced by shock.
Just a moment ago, she was still sleeping with Yunmeng and said "it seems that we have nothing to do with each other", but now her mouth is wide open and she can't make a sound.
There were so many little foxes on the east mountain of Qingqiu, most of whom had never heard of the name Yunmian. Previously, they all thought that the young master would choose Tianhu, the heavenly fox goddess of Qingqiu City, as his wife. No one expected that the legendary young master's wife would appear in their midst. In an instant, it was like a thunderbolt striking calm water, stunning all the little foxes. Everyone was too shocked to react, and could only stare blankly.
Yunmian sat there in a daze, her back tense, not daring to move at all. In fact, among all the people present, no one was more confused than she was.
The fox official calmly put away the announcement after finishing speaking and slowly said: "The four people who have just reported their names, please report to the East Xian Palace at Chen time tomorrow. I will make detailed arrangements for you later, and those who are late will not be allowed."
This should have been the time for the four of them to respond in unison, but the empty ground was still silent. The fox official didn't care about them either, and simply put the announcement into his sleeve.
"Hey!...... Sir!"
Yunmian thought Fox Officer was about to leave and hastily took a step forward, blurting out.
Previously when learning Tao in the dojo, Master Huo Guan always took on the role of instructor, so he subconsciously referred to him as such.
Even though she had always been muddle-headed, and hadn't spent that long in the Green Hills, she still knew it wasn't easy to be chosen as a companion for the young master of the Fox Palace. Although she couldn't quite articulate the difference between being the young master's wife and his study companion, such a huge unexpected blow had left her at a loss.
Yunmian originally wanted to ask if it was a mistake, but unexpectedly the main official fox officer put away the announcement and looked at her, calling out: "Elder Yunmian."
"Is it? Is it?"
"Madam Fox wishes to see you. The carriage is ready, please follow us."
When she heard that the Fox Mistress wanted to see her, Yunmian was slightly surprised, but before she could ask again, the host fox official had already calmly made way for a bit of space, indicating that she should follow him.
Yunmian unconsciously turned her head to look at Xiaoyue, but saw that Xiaoyue had also stretched out her neck to gaze back at her, their eyes meeting in a stare, and even wagging her tail excitedly.
Yunmian had no choice but to nervously follow the main fox official.
The two walked into the empty space and found a luxurious carriage parked there. The fox official personally lifted the curtain for her and motioned for her to get in.
Yunmian nervously swallowed her saliva, but having walked to this point, there was no one else she could turn to for help. She took a few more steps forward and jumped onto the carriage, but as soon as she saw the scene in front of her clearly, she froze in shock.
Yunmian had grown up in a mountain cave and had never seen such a beautiful and exquisite carriage. The interior space was even more spacious than it looked from the outside, with soft carpets on the floor, tea and fruit arranged inside, seats wide enough for four or five people to sit down, and fluffy cushions placed on top.
Such an environment undoubtedly made Yunmian even more uneasy, she walked past under the gaze of Huo Guan, carefully touching the cushion with her paws, seeing that Huo Guan had no reaction, and then sat down awkwardly.
The fox official closed the curtain, and the immortal carriage started moving steadily. Yunmian lay on the soft cushion, not daring to move, but after a while, he couldn't bear it and got up from the cushion, sticking his head out of the window, only to see the clouds flowing by the side of the carriage, with misty mountains outside the window, exactly in the midst of an immortal realm.
The carriage had not traveled far when it arrived at the Fox Palace. When Yunmian came in a fluster, riding in the immortal carriage, the Mistress of the Fox Manor was also nervous.
The lady of the fox host was waiting early in the main hall, at this time she was walking back and forth anxiously while flipping through the documents she had taken from the fox official.
That day, when Ting said he wanted to marry a small white fox she had never heard of, Mrs. Hu was taken aback. She had raised her son to be so big, but didn't know that he had such thoughts, so after Ting left, she immediately ordered someone to bring Yunmian's exam records and assessment results for this period of time, to take a look at who this person was. Who knew that when she saw the policy essay question, Mrs. Hu couldn't help but pause, then smiled slightly.
A page was densely filled with strange little symbols, squares and circles squeezed together, without any rules, but it can be seen that the writer wrote very seriously.
The hostess couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement as she flipped through it, and before long, she felt some surprise.
The fox officer who was waiting beside him couldn't help but smile and ask: "Milady, what's wrong?"
The mistress of the fox host replied with surprise and delight: "My future daughter-in-law has some talent."
The items of the imperial examination were numerous, but this was the only one that required written composition.
The hills and mountains are home to many young foxes, except for the heavenly fox gods in Qingqiu City who have inherited some families. Most of these young foxes haven't learned to read yet. From the start, they knew that 8 or 9 out of 10 young foxes wouldn't be able to answer this question. It's not a test of their political views, but rather a look at how much foundation they have in their families, whether they've prepared in the past, and how they react on the spot.
Is it really possible to learn such profound political theories in just one or two days? Those who can truly answer correctly are mostly from the aristocratic families of Qingqiu City, while the rest of the little foxes either scribble some fake characters to fill up the space or hand in a blank paper. Only a handful of exceptionally talented individuals can learn and answer correctly within a short period of time.
And the paper in front of her, although scribbled, has a certain order. Although it's not written language, the owner of the paper created his own writing system, but if you look carefully, you can make out the meaning, which is fundamentally different from a randomly scribbled and painted paper, and shows that he answered seriously.
The young lady fox carefully judged the meaning of the scroll for a while. The political views written by such a young fox were naturally cute to adults, but it was clear that she had listened attentively in class and made an effort to apply her knowledge. After grading the scroll, the official fox gave her a score and wrote comments and remarks on the side, seemingly stifling a smile as he read through the scroll.
It looks a bit clumsy at first glance, but it's not easy to come up with such a method unconsciously... or think of such a method in a short period of time.
The lady of the fox family smiled and shook her head, then flipped through other test results. The remaining scores were also good, ranking within the top 50. Fox officer, who was in charge of teaching at the dojo, had a high evaluation of Yunmian, which made him feel more at ease. The lady of the fox family looked delighted and couldn't help but flip back to the page with the policy essay. After reading for a while, she said to the fox officer: "She also has some talent in painting!"
The fox officer heard this and knew that the fox hostess was satisfied in her heart, smiling and replied: "It's good if the fox hostess feels happy."
The mistress was delighted, but after all, she had never seen her before, and there was still a little tension that had not dissipated. Thinking that she would soon see the appearance of her daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but continue pacing in the house, flipping through the documents in her hand several times in a short period of time.
Yunmian happened to follow the fox officer from outside at this time. The fox-shaped child was still young and small, and the fox officer's steps were big and walked too fast. Yunmian hastily tried to chase after him, but accidentally tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground with a thud.
The mistress of the fox host was originally strolling around when she was startled by Yunmian's fall and subconsciously went to support her in front of the fox official: "Are you okay?"
But before Madam Fox finished speaking, she was already stunned.
Yunmian happened to raise her head at this moment, revealing a small red lotus mark between her eyebrows.
His expression slightly solidified, and he couldn't help but reopen his eyes to see that the Wen Ting in front of him was standing steadily on the ground, calmly and composedly stretching out his tail to balance his body, without any signs of fatigue.
Xue Yuan had previously used his full strength in a moment of desperation, but it was still useless. Moreover, Wen Ting's divine power was freely released and withdrawn, able to be so agilely retracted, showing that he had an extremely good grasp on the divine energy. Xue Yuan was not a person without any brains, and in just this instant, he already knew that he was far inferior.
At this time, the remaining three foxes who were watching from the side were also surprised, especially Yunmian, who stood stupidly in place.
When Wén Tíng used his immortal technique, the light was too dazzling. Not to mention being approached by Xī Yuán at close range, even the three onlooking foxes couldn't see clearly. But everyone saw Xī Yuán's stunned and disheveled appearance in an instant, and judging from his look, it seemed that the white fox Wén Tíng had stopped in time, or else he would have been even more miserable.
Wenhe and Qingyang were both frightened, Zhang's mouth was agape as he looked back and forth between Xiyuan and Wenting. Not to mention that they had never seen anyone who could defeat Xiyuan before, in this situation, they were extremely worried that Xiyuan would fly into a rage.
