Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 39 How can you do this?
After Xu Xiaopang won the first place in the Tongshi exam, everyone in the Xu and Qin mansions were happy and festive during these days.

As a result, before the Xu and Qin families could recover from this happy event, another happy event happened.

Xu Xiaopang was selected as one of the diplomatic members of the Wu State to receive the envoys from the Qi State.

The other person was the son of the Minister of Rites, a fourteen-year-old young man, also a genius. He passed the imperial examination at the age of thirteen and was also famous in the capital at that time.

Recently, the Qi State delegation visited the Wu State, which was a big event. Xu Xiaopang was selected to be responsible for entertaining the Qi State delegation. If this reputation spreads, it will have a huge impact on Xu Xiaopang's future career.

The most important thing is that His Majesty will definitely review the list, and the name "Xu Pangda" will appear in His Majesty's sight.

And it was on this day that Xiao Mochen came to Xu Mansion in person.

Regarding the most talked-about man in the court today.

In fact, the feelings of the Xu and Qin families were very complicated.

It is naturally a great thing to be able to make friends with Xiao Mochen, a popular figure around the emperor.

But now the turmoil caused by Xiao Mochen is too big, and the Xu and Qin governments are worried that they will be regarded as "reformists" and thus cause dissatisfaction among the conservatives.

Actually, Xu and Qin are conservatives themselves.
They were very opposed to Xiao Mochen's reforms.

Fortunately, Xiao Mochen came under the name of "visiting Xu Pangda".

As Xu Pangda was the top scorer in the Beijing children's examination and also a small envoy of the diplomatic corps, it was understandable that Xiao Mochen came to visit him in person and understand the situation.

However, neither the Xu nor the Qin mansions publicized it widely, nor did they dare to hold a banquet. They even didn't want others to know that Xiao Mochen had come to the Xu mansion.

But I can't just drive the other person away, right?
So when Xiao Mochen came, they just pretended not to see him.

They didn't even care when Xiao Mochen entered the backyard of Xu's house.

Xiao Mochen is a well-known gentleman, and everyone is absolutely confident in Xiao Mochen's character.

Anyway, the Xu family has only one attitude: you came here in the name of "visiting Ponda", so you can wander around the Xu family however you want, we have no right to know.

However, Xiao Mochen did not go to Mrs. Wang's courtyard, but went to Xiaochun Courtyard.

"Please inform Miss Goose that I, Xiao Mochi, am here to visit you and have something to do with you, Xu Ming."

At the closed gate of Xiaochun Courtyard, the Tianxuan Goose was practicing squats. Xiao Mochen bowed to the Tianxuan Goose.

As an outsider, Xiao Mochen definitely couldn't enter the yard directly.

"Goose~ (Only Xu Ming is here, Madam Chen is not here, you can go in by yourself.)" The Tianxuan Goose called twice.

"Excuse me then."

Xiao Mochen pushed the door and walked into the courtyard.

The first thing I saw was Xu Ming practicing boxing in the courtyard.

Xiao Mochen felt vaguely familiar with this boxing style.

It seems to be the "Kai Tian Quan" of Wang Yushi's family.

Xu Ming’s level of mastery was very high, and even the courtyard was filled with the strong martial arts energy.

Even from the martial arts energy emanating from Xu Ming.

Xu Ming's martial arts realm is about to break through into the Wood Embryo Realm.

Because Xu Ming was concentrating on his practice, he did not notice anyone entering the courtyard.

After Xu Ming finished practicing, he took a deep breath and suppressed his martial arts energy, and applause came from the direction of the courtyard gate.

Xu Ming turned around and was stunned: "Mr. Xiao?"

"My dear friend Xu Ming, it's been two years since we last met." Xiao Mochen bowed.

Xu Ming also hurriedly bowed in return: "Hello, sir." "Please take a seat, sir. I'll pour you some tea." Xu Ming stood up and was about to entertain him.

Xiao Mochi shook his head and said straight to the point: "Young friend, there is no need to be so polite. I have something to discuss with you today."

"Sir, do you want to discuss this with me?" Xu Ming was confused.

What can Mr. Xiao discuss with me?
"Yes."

Mr. Xiao nodded and walked forward.

"Soon, the envoys from Qi will come to our Wu State. There are two child prodigies on the Qi side, one of whom is a natural literary talent. If the envoys from Qi ask the youngsters to compete in literary talent, I am worried that Pangda and his men will lose miserably.

Mr. Zhang from your Qingshui School said that if all the students in the world took the exam together, you would definitely get the first place.

Therefore, I hope you can join the Wu Kingdom’s diplomatic corps this time.”

Xu Ming blinked: "Sir, I am a bastard."

In the Wu State, illegitimate sons were not allowed to appear in public.

"That's right, so I'm sorry, I can only let you participate as a companion, just like a book boy. When Pangda and the others get into trouble, I hope you can help them.

Xu Ming, you should be practicing martial arts, right?

If you can agree, I have a Blood Spirit Fruit here that will help you, little friend Xu Ming, to temper your body."

"."

Xu Ming was not unaware of the Blood Spirit Fruit.

Before, Xu Ming had consulted Madam Wang about some matters concerning the physical training of warriors.

Warriors need to temper their bodies when they are in the mercury state.

Every top martial arts sect has its own method of tempering the body.

However, they all have one thing in common, which is that they use Blood Spirit Fruit as the main ingredient.

The Blood Spirit Fruit is not a priceless treasure, but it is also relatively expensive.

In any case, the Xu family would have to pay a high price to get the Blood Spirit Fruit, and even if they could take it out, they would not give it to Xu Ming.

"Thank you for your interest, sir. I will give it a try for now." Xu Ming agreed.

"Thank you very much." Xiao Mochen bowed deeply.

Seeing Mr. Xiao bowing 90 degrees and performing such a great ceremony, Xu Ming was shocked. He also bowed 90 degrees and returned the ceremony: "Sir, you are too polite."

Xiao Mochi stood up and looked at Xu Ming with a smile: "In that case, I'll trouble you, Xu Ming. Five days later, you and Pang Da need to go to the Hanlin Academy to learn the hospitality etiquette of our Wu country. I will pick you up then."

"Thank you for your help, sir." Xu Ming nodded without any objection.

Xiao Mochen looked at Xu Ming deeply, but didn't say anything else. After exchanging a few words with Xu Ming, he turned and left.

Looking at Xiao Mochi's gradually walking away, and then thinking about how Xiao Mochi bent over just now, I always felt as if he was vaguely guilty about himself?

"Maybe it's my illusion."

Xu Ming shook his head, retracted his gaze, and continued practicing his boxing.

No matter what, the body-tempering materials for the Mercury Realm have been found. As for some other adjuvants, although they are not cheap, they are not unaffordable. If it doesn't work, I can borrow some from Mrs. Wang and return it later.

Leave Xu Mansion.

Xiao Mochen stood at the gate of Xu's house, looking in the direction of Xiaochunyuan.

As he watched, Xiao Mochi sighed heavily and shook his head repeatedly, his eyes full of guilt and self-blame:
"Xiao Mochi, Xiao Mochi
How can you let a child in? "
