Chapter 15: Jing Xin's Case, Xuantian Demon

After just getting an A+ in the exam, Zhao Xing found that his colleagues around him became much more enthusiastic. When he came out of the backyard, many people started to get close to him.

Zhang San said there was a grass-fighting show there and wanted to invite him to watch it. Li Si said his friends had organized a drinking party, so would they like to have a couple of drinks?

There was even an uncle who invited Zhao Xing to listen to some music. Excuse me...what is your name?

"My younger brother is Huang Siping, from Huangjiawan." A bald man with high cheekbones cupped his hands and said with some melancholy, "Brother Zhao, please don't use honorifics. I am one year younger than you."

"Uh, Brother Huang, forgive my words." Zhao Xing looked at the top of his head. You don't look younger than me.

"Brother Zhao is a forgetful person, so it's normal that he can't remember me." Huang Siping smiled and said, "I wonder if Brother Zhao is willing to go to Brother Li's music party with me?"

"Which Brother Li?" Zhao Xing was a little puzzled.

"Of course it's Li Chengfeng, who is known as 'Gentleman'." Huang Siping said. "And my brother and other colleagues who made the top list in this Xiaoshu exam."

The so-called music party is just another way of saying it. Li Chengfeng and Zong Shichang are quite wealthy, so they often invite some people to go, find some singing girls to play music and dance, and sleep with them.

"All expenses will be paid by Mr. Li or other young masters, including the singer's fee..." Huang Siping said very tactfully.

Of course Zhao Xing understood it. It meant he was asking his girlfriend to come?

"Thank you for my kindness, Brother Li. However, I have other plans, so I can only meet you next time."

It’s not that he is hypocritical. If Chen Ziyu or Qian Dong invited him, he would go without hesitation.

But Li Chengfeng and Zong Shichang are competitors! Can he go?

After getting you drunk, they arrange a singing girl for you, but this singing girl is actually a girl from a decent family (she has lost her citizenship), and then you go to the county government to file a complaint... Zhao Xing immediately thought of the deceptive operations he did when he was a player in his previous life.

"That's really unfortunate. I'll invite Brother Zhao next time." Huang Siping felt quite regretful. Seeing that Zhao Xing seemed to have the same expression, he made up his mind, bowed and left.

"how?"

"He refused, saying he was busy."

"Humph, so many people from the top list have been invited, but he is so arrogant. Does he want Brother Li and Brother Zong to invite them personally?"

"You can't say that. After all, I'm not very familiar with it."

Huang Siping told Li Chengfeng the news. Before the victim could say anything, many people started to criticize Zhao Xing.

Li Chengfeng was also a little unhappy in his heart, but he still smiled on the surface: "I want to make friends with people of the same descent, but I don't want to be abrupt, so I asked Brother Huang to invite him, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't invite him... It doesn't matter, if I invite him a few more times, maybe he will come."

After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, the people below praised him for his tolerance and magnanimity. In contrast, Zhao Xing seemed a little arrogant.

However, the topic was quickly changed and Li Chengfeng and Zong Shichang did not take it too seriously.

After all, it was only once, so it wasn't a big threat.

"Brother, you just passed the exam and you already have so many good friends. Congratulations." Qian Dong looked at Zhao Xing who walked out of the crowd, his tone a little sour.

"That's right. If this happens a few more times, Xiaodong and I might be forgotten by our brother." Chen Ziyu also followed Yin Yang.

Zhao Xing smiled. He understood the two people's feelings. It was like you thought you were best friends with someone, but you found out that the other person suddenly had a few more close friends...

"Don't worry, I will never forget the weird look of you two even if I become a ghost."

"..."

"Do you guys have nothing to do this afternoon?" Zhao Xing asked. "Yes, Zi Yu and I plan to go to the East Suburbs to take a make-up exam." Qian Dong said, "Where are you going, big brother?"

"To the temple."

"Brother, can you learn the Dharma again?" Chen Ziyu's eyes were filled with admiration. How long has it been since you learned how to make wind and thunder?
"Just give it a try." Zhao Xing nodded slightly. Although only a week had passed, the change that Dao Embryo Pill had brought to him was very obvious. The efficiency of gathering Yuan was much faster than before.

Of course, this is also because the food at home has improved.

Therefore, although he has not yet reached the third level of Ju Yuan, his [Cloud Moving] spell has reached the fifth level, and his [Thunder] spell has also reached the third level. On this basis, he can try to master [Rain Preservation].

"Then we won't waste Big Brother's time. Let's go, Zi Yu, we can't just sit there idle. Let's go to the East Suburbs!"

"Yes!" Chen Ziyu nodded heavily, as if he was inspired by Zhao Xing's progress.

Watching the two people leave together, Zhao Xing also walked towards the county government office.

"Moving clouds, raising wind, thunder, and spreading rain are a series of spells, and they are also the core skills of the Si Nong profession. Now I am still lacking the spell [Rain Spreading]. I hope Master Cao can give me some help this time."

The more magic you know, the better your chances of passing the assessment will be, and the greater your chances of becoming a regular employee.

In the short term, it is conducive to becoming a regular employee. Zhao Xing’s main concern now is to accept the position and become a ninth-rank official in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Why does he think so? Because Zhao Xing's long-term goal is to be immortal, but to achieve this goal, he must first survive the Dynasty version and wait until the Revival version.

The luck of the dynasty can increase the life span of officials! Otherwise, he would have become a "freelancer" long ago.

As I entered the government office, a familiar voice rang out.

"Brother Zhao, it's you again?"

"Brother Pang, yes, it's me." Zhao Xing looked at Pang Fei, who was the one who approved the document last time.

"You're here again..." Pang Fei was stunned when he saw Zhao Xing's application documents. "It's only been a short time, and you can receive the Dharma again?"

"I want to try my luck." Zhao Xing said modestly.

"No, Brother Zhao will definitely succeed." Pang Fei congratulated him, "The officials in the Ministry of Agriculture will not approve legal documents casually, I will..."

"Make way, urgent order from the Wubanfang, make way!"

Suddenly a loud voice came from outside the door, followed by hurried footsteps.

Zhao Xing looked in confusion, and only saw the backs of a group of soldiers with swords.

"Brother Pang, what's going on? Why are so many brothers from the Wubanfang dispatched?"

"Cooperate with the county's investigation."

Pang Fei suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Speaking of which, this matter is related to the Ministry of Agriculture. I don't know what happened, but recently, many small officials from the Ministry of Agriculture in the twelve counties of Nanyang County suddenly disappeared inexplicably. Do you think this is strange?"

"The little official from the Ministry of Agriculture is missing?" Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment. "Have you figured out the reason?"

Pang Fei shrugged and said, "Isn't this what we are investigating? I don't know anything else. Brother Zhao, take a rest. I will submit the application for you right away."

"Thank you." Zhao Xing sat on the chair with a frown, carefully recalling his experiences in his previous life. He had experienced the period of Emperor Jing, but he had never been to Gucheng, or even Nanyang County. However, this did not prevent him from recalling some key events.

"During the reign of Emperor Jing, a strange case occurred. Many agricultural officials were abducted by a group of demons who called themselves the Xuantian Sect... But shouldn't this have happened during the Dazhi period? Why did it happen during the Jingxin period? Did I remember it wrong? Or was this planned since the Jingxin period?"
