This Great Emperor Is Also My Friend

Chapter 17

The month test came to an end.

In this monthly test, Du Heng was like a ruthless dark horse, dashing and flying into the sky, shocking everyone in Zhuangqiu Academy.

I originally thought that Du Heng was just “relying on his face”, but I didn’t expect that… Du Heng’s food is soft and hard to eat, relying on strength.

No wonder he can be favored by Chi Ying. Sure enough, Luanfeng doesn’t work with Ravens and Birds and has no real skills. How could he be recognized by Chi Ying?

It’s just…You are so obviously a big guy, but you want to pretend to be on the street, is it interesting?

Everyone looked at Du Heng’s eyes full of resentment.

Chi Ying was also very resentful, “Du Heng, it’s okay! Deliberately pretending to be low-powered, who are you teasing?”

“It’s really not pretending.”

Du Heng smiled and shook his head, “I used to be really low-powered, and the current Cultivation Base is all from Ascension these days. And…thanks to you! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to get promoted!”

Hearing this, a flash of shame flashed across Chi Ying’s face.

What is “thanks to me”? What do you mean by “If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t be promoted”? You… what do you mean!

Such words…hear my heart pounding.

“Talking nonsense!”

Chi Ying suppressed his shyness, gave Du Heng a fierce look, and turned and left.

These days, no one believes the truth.

Du Heng shrugged and looked down at the transcript in his hand, with a smile on his face.

The overall ranking is second, second only to Chi Ying.

In Zhuangqiu Academy, this achievement is already a genius among geniuses.

More than twenty days ago, I didn’t even dare to dream of such a result. Today, this has become a reality.

In the future, as long as I continue to add friends, I can go higher and further. The future…there is no limit.

Lifting his eyes to look at the gate of the academy, Du Heng put away the transcript, straightened his clothes, and strode forward.

It’s time to go back and solve the problems of the Black Tiger Gang.

Smashed my shop? Take away my family business? Haha, now… I will lend you a hundred courage!

……………………

After the monthly exam, the college will be closed for three days.

The students of the academy stepped out of the academy with a heavy heart carrying their monthly test report.

If it was before, Du Heng was also in the “heavy mood” ranks. This time, Du Heng was in a good mood and his spirits were very bright.

“Brother Du, go slowly!”

“Goodbye Brother Du!”

When I went out, all the students I met on the road greeted Du Heng with a big smile.

Du Heng’s stunning performance in the monthly exam quietly changed his status.

Strong strength is bound to be respected.

“Old Du, come! My carriage is here.”

Fan Tong Fatty, as always, did not pay attention to the change of Du Heng’s status.

“coming!”

Du Heng smiled and nodded, and walked up.

Riding in the carriage, Fan Tong Fatty spread out a greased paper bag, pointed to the chicken wings, chicken feet, and duck neck inside, and said to Du Heng, “Give it to Mrs. Shantang Wang, try it?”

“Gave it to Aunt Wang? I’ll go, Aunt Wang really loves you!”

Du Heng smiled and teased, stretched out his hand and took a chicken wing and gnawed it.

“That is!”

Fan Tong Fatty didn’t seem to understand the connotation, but was rather proud, “Aunt Wang is really good to me, and she will accept me as an apprentice, saying that she is learning cooking with her. Hey, Lao Du, I think… Auntie is also pretty good at learning cooking.”

“It’s really good.”

Du Heng smiled and nodded, thinking: You are so greedy, learning cooking is really in line with your hobby.

While talking, the two gnawed chicken wings and claws.

Soon after, the carriage stopped at Chaoyang Lane in the east of Zhuangqiu City.

Du Heng’s house is in Chaoyang Alley.

“I have arrived!”

Du Heng picked up a kerchief and wiped his hands, rolled over and got out of the car, and waved to Fan Tong Fatty, “Thank you, Lao Fan, I’m going home first!”

“You are welcome!”

Fan Tong Fatty gnawed chicken wings and waved to Du Heng.

Du Heng smiled and walked into Chaoyang Lane.

Walked in all the way along the mottled old bluestone alleys.

When he met two aunts in the neighborhood, Du Heng stopped and said hello with a smile: “Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wang.”

“Ah? Du Heng is back? Is the academy out of school?”

The auntie neighbour looked up and responded with a smile.

After walking away, Du Heng vaguely heard the two discussing.

“Old Du’s life is not easy.”

“Yeah! Old Du doesn’t know what to think, so what book to send Du Heng to read! Is he that piece of material? So much money was spent in vain.”

“It’s not that piece of material, I still think about being a scholar and noble person, and I don’t weigh myself!”

Du Heng smiled and shook his head when he heard the auntie’s discussion.

If it was before, Du Heng would still feel uncomfortable. Now? The transcript in the pocket has proved everything.

With a flick of his robe sleeves, Du Heng continued to move forward.

Soon after, Du Heng came to his tofu shop.

The tofu shop, which had a good business in the past, did not see any customers at the moment. This is probably related to the Black Tiger Gang.

Du Heng snorted coldly and walked into the shop, “Father, mother, I’m back!”

“Heng’er, are you back?”

Du’s mother was carrying the soaked beans. Hearing Du Heng’s shout, she turned her head and looked over, then turned her head and shouted into the backyard: “Old Du, Heng’er is back!”

“Brother, are you back?”

Little Sister Du Wei, who was holding a bamboo bat to drive away flies, looked up and saw Du Heng, dropped the bamboo bat, and ran up.

“Brother, how are you doing this monthly exam?”

Du Wei remembered what Du Heng said to her that “this monthly exam will definitely get good results”, and quickly asked Du Heng.

Du Mu also turned her head and looked over, a hint of hope flashed in her eyes, but she secretly sighed in her heart.

Although I really hope that Du Heng can get good grades in the exam, but… this hope is really slim!

I heard people say that Heng’er’s grades are very low in the academy, and he may not even get the graduation papers. I hope this time, Heng’er’s performance can be improved!

Ugh! This is fate! In the Du family, there is no life of scholars and nobles.

At this time, Du Heng stretched out his hand and took out a transcript, and shook Little Sister Du Wei, “I did a good job on this monthly exam! Very good!”

“real?”

Du Wei was full of surprise, and quickly grabbed the transcript.

Little Sister Du Wei is also literate, taught by Du Heng. Du Wei picked up a single result and looked at it, and it really said “ranked second.”

“Great! Great!”

Little Sister raised his transcript and exclaimed happily, “Father, mother, come and see. Big Brother took second place in the exam, and Big Brother took second place in the exam!”

“What? Second place?”

Du Mu, who was saddened, heard this and suddenly screamed, the dustpan in her hand shook, and the beans spilled all over the floor.

Father Du, who just walked out of the backyard, stepped on the scattered beans and fell to the sky, still shouting: “Heng’er took second place? Heng’er took second place?”

Du Heng hurriedly stepped forward, reached out his hand to support his father, glanced at his father and mother, and nodded seriously, “Yes! I got the second place in the exam. Dad, mother, your son, you are promising!”

“Hahahaha! Great! Great!”

Father Du stayed for a while, and there was another burst of joyful laughter.

Two lines of tears rolled out of Mother Du’s eyes, and she muttered to herself: “God bless, God bless!”

“Brother, you are amazing! Haha!”

Du Wei shouted and jumped with joy, her eyes full of admiration when she looked at Du Heng.

“Yeah? Are you smiling so happy? It seems that your money for next month is ready?”

The door of the shop was kicked, and two idle men with tiger head tattoos on their arms walked in swaggeringly.
