Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 69: Using the Same Trick

The young man on the stage was charming and defeated his opponents in one go. Although he was young, his demeanor was not inferior to that of an older person.

The girls below the stage were already stunned. They normally didn’t get the chance to see such a scene. However, even the past years’ tests combined were far from as exciting as Xie Jingxing’s performance this year. Most of the girls admired heroes, and with Xie Jingxing’s looks and aura, he naturally attracted another batch of fans today.

Some of the young men were jealous, but most of them were shocked. Su Mingfeng looked from afar and shook his head with a smile. “So this is what he mean by something to be happy about. He is still as arrogant as ever.” However, Su Mingfeng also knew that what Xie Jingxing showed today was only the tip of the iceberg. Xie Jingxing was a person who hid his strength. Now that he revealed his ability, did he want to challenge the royal family? His expression gradually became solemn. He could not tell what his good friend was thinking.

“That Young Marquis Xie is indeed extraordinary.” A hint of admiration appeared on Feng Anning’s face. “I don’t think anyone in the younger generation of the capital, or rather, the entire Ming Qi, can compare to him.”

Shen Miao shook her head.

What Xie Jingxing was best at was not competing here. He was good at fighting battles. In fact, if not for the fact that he was eventually killed by the royal family of Ming Qi in his previous life, with the power of the Xie family and the prestige of Xie Jingxing in the army, he could get at least half of the Ming Qi empire.

However… The decline of the Xie family was still a mystery. Shen Miao sighed in her heart. In her previous life, she was focused on helping Fu Xiuyi and did not know much about the Xie family. Now, she was at a loss what to do to help him.

Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu were so angry that their faces turned livid. Xie Jingxing’s attack looked light, but in fact, only the two of them knew how serious their injuries were. However, the people around them did not pity the Xie brothers at all, because Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were the ones who launched a sneak attack first. In the test, the most important thing was fairness and justice. Not only did the audience look down on the Xie brothers, but the examiners on the stage also looked down on them. After today, the good reputation they had accumulated would disappear.

“What a good move,” Shen Miao said softly as she looked at the purple-clothed youth standing on the stage with his arms crossed.

Xie Jingxing had led the two brothers of the Xie family by the nose today, which was why the two brothers of the Xie family lost their usual sense of propriety and used despicable methods to harm people.

Today, the difference between the legitimate son of the Marquis of Lin’an and the illegitimate sons was clear.

Xie Jingxing said lazily to the two of them, “It’s clear who won. Who else wants to challenge me?”

There was silence.

Everyone had seen how Xie Jingxing dealt with Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao just now. He almost knocked down the two of them with a single shot, and these two were among the best. For a moment, no one said anything. Xie Jingxing casually threw the spear in his hand to the side and said, “Since there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.” With that, he brushed his clothes and disappeared, causing the girls to shout with excitement.

“This guy is strong,” Prince Zhou commented. “But apparently he’s a tough nut to crack.”

Pei Lang sighed in his heart. The Ming Qi Royal Family looked smart, but they were short-sighted at evaluating people. This young man must have done it on purpose on the stage. Although Pei Lang didn’t know why, he could vaguely guess Xie Jingxing was aiming at the royal family.

He glanced at Prince Zhou and Prince Jing. If the royal family confronted Xie Jingxing, they would probably end up miserably, because he was a lion, just like Shen Miao.

The examiner couldn’t stop Xie Jingxing from leaving wilfully, but he still announced that Xie Jingxing was the winner. The servants of the Xie brothers quickly helped the two of them down. The two of them were too embarrassed to stay any longer and left immediately in a carriage.

In the next few rounds, because of Xie Jingxing, the rest of the challenges looked very boring. Therefore, everyone yawned.

Shen Yue and Shen Qing looked up at Shen Miao from time to time. Today, in the Shen family, except for Shen Miao, Shen Qing and Shen Yue were upstaged. Because of Fu Xiuyi, Shen Qing had long hated Shen Miao to the core. She felt that Shen Miao had stolen someone who belonged to her. As for Shen Yue, she was unwilling to accept the fact that Shen Miao outperformed her in the competition.

Shen Miao did not know what the two of them were thinking, or rather, she did not care. She instructed Gu Yu to come to her side and whispered a few words to her. When Gu Yu heard this, her expression turned serious, and she quickly left.

At the same time, Prince Yu waved his hand, and a guard appeared beside him. After listening to Prince Yu’s order respectfully, the guard quickly disappeared from the table.

In the distant pavilion, Xie Jingxing appeared beside Su Mingfeng.

Su Mingfeng clapped his hands and looked at him from the corner of his eye, asking, “Are you ready to deal with your half-brothers? It’s not like your normal way of doing things.”

“I was enlightened by someone.” Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows. “Some things need to be taken care of the sooner the better. I can’t wait anymore.”

Su Mingfeng frowned. He felt that there was a hidden meaning in Xie Jingxing’s words, but he did not ask further. Even though he had been friends with Xie Jingxing for many years, he had never crossed the line of what a friend should do. His gaze suddenly landed on the audience below and said, “However, the girl you helped out just now seems to be in trouble.”

Xie Jingxing glanced at the women’s section and saw a guard handing something that looked like an invitation letter to the second madam of the Shen family, Ren Wanyun while looking at the girl in purple.

Ren Wanyun held the invitation and was a little excited. She said, “Shen Miao, come and thank Your Highness for the invitation.”

Shen Miao’s gaze focused on Ren Wanyun, and her lips curled into a cold smile.

Was he really going to use the same trick again?

Facing Shen Yue and Shen Qing’s gloating gazes, she stretched lazily, and her clear eyes suddenly darkened.

“Sure.” Her lips curled up. “I’ll definitely ‘thank’ him.”

A trace of interest flashed across Xie Jingxing’s eyes. “There’s a good show to watch.”
