485 What Test Is It?
Su Xiaolu raised her hand. “That’s all I know. After that, I went home. It’s not good for me to eavesdrop on what Teacher Lin and his wife talked about.”
“Thanks to your information, I can guess a little. If Teacher knows, I’ll be at ease.”
Su Xiaoling pinched Su Xiaolu’s cheek and said with a smile.
Su Xiaolu snuggled against Su Xiaoling and asked, “Sis, what’s your guess?”
Su Xiaoling smiled and said, “Our eldest brother is also Teacher Lin’s disciple. Although he’s not as outstanding as second brother, he’s also a rare talent. Teacher has always liked eldest brother and second brother. After so many years, he has a lot of understanding of their temperament and character. Sister Yaoyao’s unmarried status is also Teacher’s worry. He would rather Sister Yaoyao not marry for the rest of her life than to casually entrust her to someone else.”
“Therefore, we can guess that they would be thinking after knowing that Big Brother likes sister Yaoyao. He likes her, but they have to think of a way to test our Big Brother. If our Big Brother passes the test, then the good things won’t be far away.”
Su Xiaoling heaved a sigh of relief.
The only thing she could not guess was what the test was like, when it would come, and how he could pass it.
However, everything was up to fate. If fate allowed it, they would definitely become husband and wife in the end.
“Then he doesn’t have to wait ten years.”
Su Xiaolu couldn’t help but smile. She was happy at the thought that her brother didn’t have to wait so long.
Su Xiaoling smiled and nodded. “Yes, it won’t take that long.”
Su Xiaoling thought about when the Lin family’s test would come. The imperial examination had already ended, and the test should follow. She just didn’t know if it had started or ended.
“Sis, I’m tired.”
Su Xiaolu yawned.
Su Xiaoling patted her gently and waved her fan. “Go to sleep. I’ll fan you.”
Su Xiaolu quickly fell asleep. Su Xiaoling closed her eyes and let her thoughts run wild.
Daniu’s marriage was over and the days returned to normal.
The next morning, Su Xiaoling quietly pulled Su Chong along. Su Chong followed her to the corner in confusion.
“Xiaoling, what’s up?”
Su Chong asked first.
Su Xiaoling looked at Su Chong. Her elder brother had an imposing appearance and was not inferior to others in terms of looks. His talent was not bad either. He also had good martial arts skills and was an outstanding man.
“Big Brother, you have to steel your heart. You will definitely get what you want.”
Su Xiaoling was very sure that Lin Yaoyao had feelings for Su Chong. Lin Yaoyao’s concerns were only because she was too old. As long as Su Chong passed the Lin family’s test, Teacher Lin and his wife would facilitate this marriage.
Su Xiaoling smiled at Su Chong and reminded him again, “Brother, no matter what happens, you have to be firm.”
Su Chong was at a loss. He could tell that Su Xiaoling was implying something, but what did she mean?
Su Chong couldn’t guess, but he still nodded. “Don’t worry, Big Brother knows what to do.”
No matter what it was, he believed that he could resolve it calmly. He had the ability.
Su Xiaoling smiled and nodded. Her eyes were filled with trust.
Although Su Chong did not guess it, his heart was definitely very warm. There was nothing more heartwarming than his family caring about him. He wanted to reach out and rub Su Xiaoling’s hair, but this thought disappeared. His sister had grown up, and many intimate actions were no longer acceptable.
Su Chong smiled gently and said, “Then Big Brother will go out first.”
He practiced with Qi Xingfeng every day. The two of them liked martial arts, so they naturally got closer.
Su Xiaoling nodded and reminded him, “Brother, be careful.”
Su Chong came out and watched Su Xiaolu teach Chen Shi swordplay in the courtyard. When she saw him, Su Xiaolu smiled sweetly and waved goodbye.
Chen Shi also stopped and said very politely, “Goodbye, Big Brother.”
Su Chong nodded and went out.
His daily life was very simple. He was either at home or on the training ground.
Since he was determined to take the martial arts examination, he naturally practiced even more.
When he arrived at the training ground, Qi Xingfeng had already arrived. The two of them bumped fists and greeted each other. Then, they started today’s training together.
The two of them first practiced the strength of their fists before riding and shooting.
Qi Xingfeng had always been known as a little general in the army. He had a wide range of connections, and there were often many soldiers who came to train with him. As time passed, they also became familiar with Su Chong.
“Little general, little general… bad news…”
Someone ran over in a hurry and said breathlessly.
Qi Xingfeng was sweating profusely and his face was red. He asked calmly, “What’s wrong?”
Su Chong also stopped and waited for the person to speak.
The soldier who came to report the news took a few deep breaths and said, “The third young master of the Chu family heard that we have a powerful person here and specially came to issue a challenge.”
Qi Xingfeng frowned. “Chu Jin, why is he looking for trouble?”
“We don’t know either.”
The soldier also shook his head in confusion. This was not something he could know.
“Is Qi Xingfeng here?”
A shout came from not far away. As soon as he finished speaking, the anxious horse had already arrived in front of him and was urgently stopped. The horse raised its front hooves high and let out a neighing sound. Its front hooves landed on the ground, and its breath blew up the dust on the ground.
Qi Xingfeng frowned.
Su Chong also sized up the person on the horse.
Chu Jin had big arms, a round waist, and rough eyebrows. He looked to be in his twenties, but the beard covering half of his face made him look very rough. It did not match his scholarly name at all.
Qi Xingfeng whispered to Su Chong, “Cousin, this person is very combative. In the past, he liked to challenge me and was evenly matched with me.”
Regarding Chu Jin, he really could not explain clearly with just a few words, so he simply explained it to Su Chong in a sentence.
Chu Jin had already gotten off the horse. His lower body was very stable. He cupped fists at Su Chong. “Young Master Su, I’ve long heard of your name. I’m Chu Jin. I’m here to seek guidance.”
Qi Xingfeng’s face turned red. “No.”
He had already broken the rules and his agreement with Su Xiaolu had to be postponed.
He tried his best to hold back the long speech that was about to come out of his mouth. He pointed at himself and said, “Fight me!”
He and Chu Jin were evenly matched and neither of them could defeat the other. However, they could fight until they were exhausted. Qi Xingfeng thought that he would deal with Chu Jin so that Chu Jin would not have the strength to challenge Su Chong.
Chu Jin reached out and pressed Qi Xingfeng’s hand down. He shook his head and said, “I’m not here today to challenge you. I’m here today to challenge him, Su Chong. I heard that he can also fight you to a draw. I’m very interested. Defeating him is equivalent to defeating you.”
After Chu Jin finished speaking, without waiting for Qi Xingfeng to speak, he looked at Su Chong and said, “Young Master Su, do you dare to accept the challenge? If you’re a man, answer me.”
Chu Jin did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. He looked at Su Chong without looking sideways and was forthright.
