"You go back first!" Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Division, instructed the guard.

"Yes, my lord." The guards respectfully retired.

After the guards left, Luo Chuan picked up a document on the table and began to browse through it casually.

The first thing he saw was Machin's ink scroll.

On the questions on the ink scroll, Ma Qin answered sixty percent correctly, answered thirty percent incorrectly, and left one percent blank.

And the feedback that Princess Zhaoning wrote on the ink scroll was also very simple.

There is only one word - "read".

Luo Chuan smiled slightly.

This was exactly what he expected.

Luo Chuan knows the character of Princess Xiao Wanjun of Zhaoning very well, and knows that she is a capable and neat person.

Anything that didn't deserve her attention, she would never waste an extra second on it.

Then Luo Chuan put Ma Qin's answer sheet aside and began to read Gu Xu's answer sheet.

I saw that his neat and clear handwriting filled every question, almost indistinguishable from the standard answer, and there was no flaw at all.

Even the most rare and difficult exam questions, Gu Xu answered them in detail.

Luo Chuan knew that the only way to achieve this question paper to Gu Xu's level was to be familiar with the thousands of volumes of books.

If he wasn't proficient in the Heavenly Machine Technique, maybe he would suspect that Gu Xu, a kid, had entered the examination room with the answers.

Luo Chuan smiled and flipped the test paper to the back.

Princess Zhaoning's feedback is still very concise, with only one sentence-

"There is still a long history in this palace, dare to ask the head of the department if he is willing to endure the pain and cut his love?"

"Wan Jun, this girl, even wants to come and rob our exorcist people?" Luo Chuan shook his head lightly and muttered to himself.

Long history, in charge of the decree of the vassal palace or princess's mansion, supplemented by sarcasm, to correct the mistakes of the vassal king or princess, and lead the government officials to do their own thing.

It can be understood as the secretary general or the chief butler of the feudal palace or princess's mansion.

As the saying goes, "the prime minister has seven officials in front of him".

Because Princess Zhaoning has real power in the court, she is in full swing at this time.

The long history of her mansion, although the rank is not high, her status in the eyes of everyone is almost like a real and unknown Zaifu.

Although I don't know why Princess Zhaoning was so interested in Gu Xu just after seeing an ink scroll......

But if Gu Xu is not a cultivator of the Exorcism Division, but takes the secular development route, then becoming the head of the princess mansion is simply a step to the sky for him.

"Xiao Jin, you can go to the princess's mansion later, and relay my reply to Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning-'no'." Luo Chuan turned his head and instructed Shangguan Jin beside him.

"Yes." Shangguan Jin immediately agreed.

"Also, regarding Gu Xu's performance in this assessment, please be sure to keep it secret from the outside world, especially not to let the National Teacher know," Luo Chuan continued, "The National Teacher has been struggling to find a disciple with good qualifications who can inherit his Fu Dao recently. If he finds out that our Exorcism Division has a rune genius, he will definitely try to rob people by all means.

"But since Gu Xu has joined our Exorcism Division, he will be a member of our Exorcism Division in this life. I don't allow people outside to take him away casually. ”

Shangguan Jin nodded repeatedly.

She is used to seeing the light and breezy performance of the head of the department on weekdays.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he was unusually unusual, showing such an attitude of importance to the young man named Gu Xu!

This made Shangguan Jin more and more curious about Gu Xu.

"I really want to see that little genius in Yishui County as soon as possible!" She thought to herself.

…………

Yishui County, Exorcism Division Yamen.

Today, Xiao Han still didn't take the task.

She sat alone on the railing of the corridor in the backyard of the yamen, her legs swaying in the autumn wind, and a pair of bright apricot eyes staring at the ground intently, so bored that she began to count the ants on the ground.

“…… One, two, three, four...... 10 ...... Twenty ...... It's been so long, why hasn't that guy Gu Xu come out yet...... Twenty-five...... Thirty ......"

During this period, many onlookers also came to her side, greeted her warmly, and wanted to talk to her.

But Shi Xiaohan's attitude has always been very cold and ignores them.

Because she knew that the reason why these people were courteous in front of her was entirely because of her family background, because of her father who served as a five-grade official in Laizhou Mansion.

However, deep in Shi Xiaohan's heart, there has always been a kind of hypocrisy of an innocent girl.

She hoped that those who wanted to befriend her would not be attracted by her background, wealth, or looks, but would be spiritually like-minded.

"I don't know how Gu Xu performed in today's assessment......" she thought silently in her heart.

Although she has always had great confidence in Gu Xu, after all, Gu Xu's competitor has ten years of experience in slaying demons and demons - in terms of actual combat, Gu Xu may be difficult to take advantage of.

At this moment, a flood of noise suddenly erupted in the crowd not far away.

"They're out!"

Hearing this voice, Shi Xiaohan immediately jumped up, and then walked through the bustling crowd, trying to squeeze in the direction of the yamen lobby.

"Let's go, let's go!" She shouted over and over again.

The crowd was too dense.

The officials from the capital, the officials from the yamen of the next county, and the officials of the Yishui Exorcism Division were all crowded in this small courtyard one after another.

This made the hairpin on the top of Shi Xiaohan's head accidentally fall to the ground in repeated bumps.

But she didn't realize it.

At this time, she finally saw Gu Xu coming out of the yamen hall.

I saw that the young man's clothes were fluttering and his demeanor was beautiful, like a Zhilan jade tree.

Even under the watchful eye, he still has a calm smile and a quiet gaze.

The first sun is rising.

The golden light fell on his body, illuminating his clear and handsome face.

At this moment, he took over the scenery.

"Alas, if only I could grow a little taller......" In the crowd, Shi Xiaohan thought to himself rather depressed.

Because he was not tall enough, even if Shi Xiaohan tried to stand on tiptoe, he couldn't get past the crowd in front of him and see this picture completely clearly.

As a well-known "ruthless ghost slashing knife", a second realm monk who cuts ghosts like vegetables, she actually has a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart.

At the same time, Wang Yang, a die-hard fan of Gu Xu, climbed directly onto the stone pier in the courtyard and shouted at Gu Xu: "Brother Gu, what is the result?" ”

Gu Xu smiled calmly: "Lord Chu asked me to wait for a while. ”

"With Brother Gu's shocking cultivation talent, the promotion of officials must be a sure thing, and I am waiting for you to invite all of us to dinner tonight!" Someone else coaxed.

The corners of Gu Xu's mouth rose and he didn't respond.

At this time, he turned his head, and at a glance he saw Shi Xiaohan trying to tiptoe in the crowd-

The petite girl's hair was slightly messy, her eyes were bright, and she was looking up expectantly, like a fluffy fluffy chick waiting to be fed.

"Alas, this idiot, he didn't even notice the hairpin on his head." Gu Xu shook his head lightly and complained silently.

Then he walked straight towards where Shi Xiaohan was.

The crowd dispersed in both directions, making way for him.

He bent down, picked up the fallen hairpin from the ground, and wiped the dust with a handkerchief.

"Don't move." He whispered.

"Hmm." Shi Xiaohan stood still, motionless, his eyes completely falling on him.

He carefully inserted the hairpin into her bun.

Her long, jet-black hair was lightly scented.

"Alright," he said with a faint smile on his face, "you straighten my headscarf, and I'll wear a hairpin for you." Let's settle it, and no one owes anyone. ”

"No, you still owe me several meals!" Shi Xiaohan frowned slightly.

It seems to have changed from a cute chick to a fierce little beast.

"I'll pay you back, I'll pay you back."
