Quick Travel: When the host of Meimeijiao is bound to the birth system

Chapter 571: The Dark Prince vs. the Fishing Beauty 14

On the day of the guard assessment, Ling Su and Mu Ying were even more nervous than Qi Yunxiao himself.

Outside the training ground of the Marquis' Mansion, Ling Suzheng earnestly warned Qi Yunxiao: "Mo Chuan, when you face the Marquis later, don't be nervous. The more nervous you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. Do you understand?"

Mu Ying also warned: "The Marquis hates those who shrink and are cowardly the most, so no matter what, you must show a fearless attitude when facing him."

Qi Yunxiao understood their good intentions: "Well, thank you for the reminder."

Shen Yao watched with great interest from the side, not knowing what Ling Su and Mu Ying were thinking. Qi Yunxiao looked so calm and steady, not a bit nervous or timid, so why did they give such instructions?

Moreover, even if Qi Yunxiao failed the assessment, she would find a way to persuade her father to keep him.

Thinking of this, Shen Yao felt even more that she had nothing to tell him.

Just when she was about to leave first and find a shady place with Xichun and Yuezhu to wait for her father to come, Qi Yunxiao suddenly walked in front of her.

"I'm a little nervous." He said seriously, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Shen Yao narrowed her eyes slightly.

She finally understood what it meant to lie with open eyes.

Qi Yunxiao's calm demeanor now, as if he wouldn't change his expression even if the sky fell, is he saying that he is... nervous?

"If not, then I'll go there first..." There seemed to be a hint of loss in Qi Yunxiao's eyes.

Shen Yao's heart moved, and she spoke faster than she thought, "Yes."

Qi Yunxiao raised his eyes and looked at her quietly, waiting for her next words.

Shen Yao pursed her lips and smiled, her voice becoming softer in the breeze: "Don't be nervous, I believe you can do it."

Qi Yunxiao's eyes were already filled with smiles, "Thank you."

......

At noon, the Marquis arrived at the training ground on time.

Because Qi Yunxiao was the only person to be tested today, there were no other people present, only the people brought by Shen Yao and the Marquis's wife who came with the Marquis.

In his early years, the Marquis led soldiers to the battlefield and had the habit of practicing martial arts and training people all year round, so there has always been such a training ground in his home. Although he retired later, the training ground is still used frequently.

Shen Yao and Madam Hou sat in the shade not far away to rest, but their eyes were all fixed on the training platform.

Madam Hou took a sip of tea, carefully looked at the elegant and graceful Qi Yunxiao on the stage, and asked Shen Yao thoughtfully, "What's his name?"

Shen Yao replied: "Mochuan, Mo for ink, Chuan for mountains and rivers."

The Marquis's wife nodded, put down her teacup, and said meaningfully: "With such a good appearance and temperament, and good skills, how could he be reduced to being penniless? If you hadn't told us about his situation in advance, I would have thought he was a nobleman from a noble family, or, maybe, someone higher than a nobleman... someone else."

Hearing this, Shen Yao paused.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Madam Hou continued, "I have met so many people from aristocratic families, and I feel that they should not make mistakes easily. Yaoyao, tell me the truth, how did you two meet? Is the true identity of this Mo Chuan really as you said before?"

At the same time, the Marquis on the stage had the same question in his mind after observing Mo Chuan closely.

"Were you really penniless when you met my daughter?" he asked.

Qi Yunxiao replied calmly: "Yes."

The Marquis looked at him a few more times, and somehow, he felt that he looked more and more familiar. But he couldn't figure out what made him look familiar.

He thought about it for a while and decided not to think about it anymore.

Never mind. The important thing today is the assessment. The rest can be discussed later. There is still a long time to come and there are plenty of opportunities.
