"Seeing how worn out all of you are, you must have obtained quite a few good things." Hua Ruge squatted beside Xiao Yuyan and asked.
Xiao Yuyan shot her a glance, and snorted: "It has nothing to do with you."
"Look at you, this is already confidential. You must have gotten a lot of good stuff. Is the Raksha Gang rich?" Hua Ruge was curious about the little baby's appearance, it looked harmless.
However, Xiao Yuyan's face darkened after hearing her words. Combined with her sorry state after running down the mountain, she looked more or less like a refugee.
"Look at how stingy you are. Tsk tsk, how boring." Hua Ruge patted his butt and got up, not wanting to chat with her anymore.
Xiao Yuyan really wanted to shout. If I can even see a single hair on his head, what is there to snatch?
However, he endured the thought of saying it out loud.
Mao Jun felt that Hua Ruge was too wicked, acting all good when he was lucky. Looking at Xiao Yuyan's face, he was already beginning to sympathize with him, provoking someone who would go against him and provoke this Demon Lord.
"It's a pity that we came too late, otherwise we would have gone with you to see the world. However, we've already alerted the snake by beating the grass. We still won't be able to go." Hua Ruge discussed with his team members.
Tuoba Yu nodded, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. "After all, the Raksha Clan has the advantage of numbers.
"Then listen to Brother Hua, let's go back." Yan Zixing also said.
Hua Ruge felt that he was also full of evil tricks.
Mao Jun stared blankly at these people who looked normal and normal, it seemed as if what they said were true.
"I think so too, don't you?" Su Nianxia patted Mao Jun's shoulder after he finished speaking.
Mao Jun still nodded blankly, and held back with one word: "Okay."
The few of them looked at each other and laughed without saying a word.
The group of people who came up the mountain was the same as Hua Ruge's group, and there were still two groups of people who arrived late. When they heard about what had happened up there, they also decided to return together.
This time, a few people died in the ambush, with more than a dozen injured.
Because there were some injured people, the speed of their journey slowed down by quite a bit. These people had only returned to the capital after half a month, and by the time they returned, all the injured people were already well.
This was something that Hua Ruge had not used all of his abilities with, otherwise, he would have done it a long time ago.
After returning to the palace, no one was able to take out the treasure they had stolen. The steward was so angry that smoke rose from his mouth. He ordered everyone to wait for the news before dispersing and leaving for the imperial palace to report back.
It had been so many years since such a situation had occurred. Otherwise, it would have been too comical for him to not have seen any treasures, or else he would not have gone up the mountain.
Everyone returned home, Hua Ruge declined the invitation and returned to the Academy alone.
The feeling of being shared after succeeding was still a little depressing.
Just as she arrived at the Royal College entrance, she saw a blue figure, who seemed to be waiting for someone.
Hua Ruge's heart was warm as a hint of a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth as he called out, "Xiao Binger."
When Lan Bing'er heard the voice, he looked over, but when he saw Hua Ruge, his indifferent little face immediately revealed a smile, and ran over: "Brother, you're back."
"I'm back, but how did you know I'd be back today?" Hua Ruge was a little doubtful.
"Bing'er doesn't know, but I think it should be in the next few days." Lan Bing'er said gently.
Hua Ruge was shocked, and blurted out: "You won't wait here everyday right?"
"I'll make some good food for big brother when we get back." Lan Bing'er laughed mischievously and changed the topic.
Hua Ruge felt her heart ache. Her young experiences had made her more or less shut down, lacking a sense of security. She had relied on herself too much.
"Bing-Er has learned a lot of noble food recently. What does brother want to eat?" Lan Bing'er asked cheerfully.
Usually, she would not talk to anyone else so much, but now that Hua Ruge had returned, she was full of energy.
Just as Hua Ruge was about to teach, he heard a voice from his side.
"Miss Bing'er, what's so good about a poor man?" This voice was extremely arrogant.
Hua Ruge raised his head and saw a tall and fat boy chasing after him from behind. He looked at him with disdain.
"Lil 'White's looks are useless. If you follow me, I'll definitely let you live a good life!" He saw that the two of them did not say anything, so he asked again.
"Zhao Jianfeng, don't insult my brother. I'll tell you again, it's impossible for me to be with you!" Lan Bing'er said with a cold face.
"Don't worry Miss Bing'er, you don't know the benefits of being rich. I can guarantee that if you get along with me, you will never leave again." Zhao Jianfeng advised.
"Impossible, get out of the way, or I'll make my move." Lan Bing'er rejected him flatly.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do about Lan Bing'er, Zhao Jianfeng turned to look at Hua Ruge and said, "It must be you, this pretty boy, making a fool out of yourself.
Hua Ruge did not know who this fatty in front of her was, but she knew that the Minister of Finance of the Great Zheng was surnamed Zhao. This person could not leave money with every word he said, so he was definitely a child of the Zhao Family.
"I don't have any money to earn, but if you grow old and crippled, there's no cure." Hua Ruge said, and then said: "I'm in a good mood, so I don't want to make a move.
No one dared to make a move at the Royal College, other than her, Hua Ruge.
Zhao Jianfeng had held his anger for several times, but in the end, he was unable to hold it in.
Hua Ruge pulled Lan Bing'er and moved away from him, not wanting to fuss about it.
"Kid, do you dare to compete with me who is richer?" Zhao Jianfeng was also clamoring from behind.
Hua Ruge turned around and looked at him as if he was looking at a fool: "Do you want others to know how much money your family has embezzled from the country?"
Zhao Jianfeng's expression immediately turned ugly.
"As for the competition, that's fine. If there's a chance, let's do it." Hua Ruge said as he pulled Lan Bing'er and left.
She had just stolen more money than he had collected in a year. Even if she divided it into ten portions, one of them would be worth more than the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
"Bing-Er, there are a lot of people chasing after you right now. You must see clearly that they are not fooled." On the way back, Hua Ruge reminded them.
Lan Bing'er nodded and said, "Don't worry brother, Bing'er likes them."
"I think Tuoba Yu is a good person. He is good-looking, has a high position and a good personality. He will definitely treat you well in the future." Hua Ruge advised.
"Brother, Bing-Er is still young, so she won't think about this." Lan Bing'er said.
"You are indeed young. Then wait until you have grown up before you consider it." Hua Ruge agreed, in her eyes, Lan Bing'er was still a child.
After returning to his residence, Lan Bing'er changed into the form of a conch girl and busied himself with preparing dinner.
"It's a pity that they're not here and won't be able to taste your cooking skills today." Hua Ruge said as he reclined on the rocking chair in the courtyard.
Lan Bing'er had just filled up the pot and came over to help her fill up a cup of hot tea.
The sable jumped out of the space and lay on her lap. It was like a blanket in the middle of winter, warm and comfortable.
The Devouring Beast had been missing some sleep recently, so it also jumped out this time and continuously rubbed Hua Ruge's face as it tried to get a favor from him.
It seemed to be afraid that Hua Ruge would not like it after he had the sable.
"Little thing."
Hua Ruge placed her in the middle of his palm and caressed its chin with his fingers, allowing it to squint comfortably.
Seeing that, the sable was unhappy, and climbed up, A Pair of Purple Pupils looked at Hua Ruge with hidden bitterness, as though he was a lady who had been abandoned by someone.
"You're about to turn into a spirit." Hua Ruge casually threw out a bottle of pills from his spatial storage to it. The sable hid the pills under its body and continued to look at her.
Only when Hua Ruge reached out to stroke its head did its eyes reveal a look of satisfaction, and it lowered its head to eat the pellets.
Hua Ruge felt that he was coaxing the two children around, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Lan Bing'er quickly cooked a bowl of rice with four dishes and a soup.
As the two of them ate in the quiet little courtyard, Hua Ruge felt that it was quite warm.
The task before the competition had caused quite a stir among the higher echelons of the Zheng because every time, half of the people would be eliminated through various missions. But this time, no one had gotten their treasures back, so they didn't know what to do.
For hundreds of years after the establishment of the Zheng, such a rule had always been in existence. But today, it had been broken.
Everyone was curious. In the past, no matter how difficult the mission was, there was always someone who completed it. Why was it like this?
Many people saw that the treasury had already been cleared. Whether it was because it was originally not here or if it had been taken already, there was no solution.
In the end, because of this matter, there was a meeting of the Grand Examination.
It was suggested that the mission be repeated, and the Emperor felt that it was a great effort and that there was no proper task.
Someone suggested another match, and the Emperor said he was afraid it would be unfair to say that he had never set such a precedent.
In the end, someone suggested that they might as well not eliminate him and let everyone compete in the arena. They could see who was the strongest based on the skills they possessed.
Everyone felt that this was simple, straightforward and fair. Thus, for the first time, the three hundred people were promoted as they prepared for the next round of the competition.
Hua Ruge had given many people a chance, which had also increased the difficulty of his victory.
There were always gains and losses. She felt that she wasn't at a disadvantage at all.
She made a trip to the Clear Sky Auction House and took care of all the things she got and divided them into ten portions. She put them into her amethyst card, which was about two million gold coins each and distributed them to the group.
They looked at the numbers on the screen and were stunned for a long time. If they hadn't wasted so much money, they would have been rich for a lifetime.
Thinking about how his peers failed to reap anything from him, these people especially admired Hua Ruge.
Once they walked out of the street, Hua Ruge's footsteps were once again stopped. It was a green-clothed servant girl.
"Master Hua, my clan's young miss would like to invite you to have a chat with her upstairs." The young maid spoke in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Who is your young lady? I don't want to hear that kind of crap when I go up there. "
Hua Ruge looked at the restaurant in front of him, not remembering who he was friends with that could eat together with.
Seeing that she was straightforward, the young maid did not have much energy left in her to keep him in suspense. She could only say, "My young lady's surname is Fang, and she is very familiar with you."
"Fang Lanxin?" Hua Ruge frowned.1
She had thwarted Fang Lanxin's prestige a few times. That woman must have hated him to death, why was she treating him to a meal with such good intentions?
"That's right, my Miss said that we must meet. If we don't honor her this time, Miss will have no choice but to go to the academy to look for you." The young maid said again.
Without a doubt, going to the academy would cause an unnecessary sensation.
