Chapter 143 Preoccupied
Chapter 143 Worrying
The competition venue on the other side was already buzzing with people and a sea of people.
The finals of this conference were for the strongest among the strongest to compete against each other. It attracted the vast majority of people in the capital, and even some high-ranking officials came here.
The competition started and all the players were seriously composing poems. Suddenly, there was a sudden movement on the field.
Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, and found that a contestant's eyes suddenly became dull, staring at a place in front of him, and even knocked over all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table.
Ink was spilled on the ground, making it all dark, but the contestant seemed not to notice it and sat down on it. Everyone watching couldn't help but curl their lips.
The examiner at the door frowned and walked towards the troublemaking contestant with a reproachful look in his eyes.
"What are you doing? Please sit down and work hard, otherwise you will be kicked out of the competition." The examiner looked serious, but it had no effect on the contestant.
Murong Qing had just finished writing a poem at this time. When he looked back, he was instantly surprised.
It turns out that this crazy scholar was the one who was hypnotized last night.
The scholar was babbling something, smiling stupidly all the time, and he still seemed to be in a very abnormal state of mind.
"Forget it, let's take this person down." At this time, the examiner also discovered that this candidate had some mental problems. He was afraid that he would disrupt the order of the entire competition, so he quickly asked someone to take him down.
There was a small commotion on the field, but it soon calmed down as the scholar was taken away from the scene.
Murong Qing suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart and couldn't help curling his lips.
"Did the hypnosis last night go too deep? He can't relax now. If it weren't for me, he would have gotten a ranking today, right?"
Murong Qing thought in his heart, feeling more and more guilty, and had to make up his mind to send someone to compensate him after the game to make up for his inner uneasiness.
Thinking of this, she felt a little quieter in her heart, and hurriedly finished the remaining lines of the poem and handed it in.
In the last round of the competition, there were only five people in the field, but these people were quite talented and were the best among the celebrities in the capital, so the judges watched them very carefully.
The onlookers sitting in the audience were also very anxious, staring at the faces of the judges above, looking forward to who would win in this competition.
After a long time, the judges finally selected the work they thought was the best after careful selection.
The host took the work, glanced at the name on it, and announced in front of everyone: "Congratulations to Miss Murong Qing for winning this competition."
"Oh no!"
There was a burst of cheers from the audience, and they all cheered for Murong Qing.
Murong Qing was also invited to the stage at this time and saluted everyone with a smile.
"Congratulations to Miss Murong. According to the rules of this competition, that night pearl will be yours!"
Yan Jingtian walked to the stage confidently, stood next to Murong Qing, first congratulated Murong Qing, and then turned to everyone.
Murong Qing couldn't help but give him a roll of her eyes.
"What this guy said is true, as if there really is a luminous pearl."
She couldn't help but secretly admire Yan Jingtian's acting skills.
"I'll see how you end up after a while." Murong Qing shook his head helplessly.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a subordinate suddenly rushed to the stage in a hurry, looking anxious.
"Report to the Marquis, the Night Pearl...the Night Pearl is lost!"
Such confidential matters should be spoken in a low voice, but this servant shouted loudly so that everyone present could hear it.
Yan Jingtian pretended to be surprised and widened his eyes.
But Murong Qing knew that they were acting, so he just smiled lightly.
"ah?"
On the other hand, the spectators in the audience could not sit still and were in an uproar.
In fact, they came to visit the competition this time, on the one hand, to witness the talents of the talents, and on the other hand, to see the priceless night pearl.
In other words, seeing the night pearl is the most important purpose, even more than appreciating the poetry competition.
"Don't worry, everyone. The loss of the Night Pearl was an accident, but I believe I will get it back. Let's all disperse!"
Yan Jingtian hurriedly clasped his fists on the stage, saluted the visitors, and then left the stage with Murong Qing.
Although everyone still had disappointment on their faces, they had no choice but to shake their heads and leave after seeing the situation.
After the game, Murong Qing, Pei Mo and Yan Jingtian went to the tavern for dinner.
At the banquet, Yan Jingtian and Murong Qing toasted with a glass of wine.
"Congratulations to my sister-in-law for winning the competition today. What a joy!"
"Same joy." Murong replied calmly, but lowered his head, as if thinking about something.
Seeing Murong Qing's worried look, Yan Jingtian thought she was unhappy about Ye Mingzhu, so he quickly comforted her with a few words.
"Sister-in-law, your performance at the competition today was really great. I admire your literary talents very much. If I have the chance, I will study hard with you." Yan Jingtian joked with a smile.
After hearing this, Pei Mo smiled and shook his head, feeling a little helpless.
But Murong Qing's reaction was even more dull, exceeding Yan Jingtian's expectations.
"Actually, it's nothing. You deserve the award."
Murong Qing thought to himself that he was not really talented and learned, he was just dreaming about the works of literary giants from his previous life.
Besides, Ye Mingzhu has not been found yet, so she has no interest in caring about other things.
"Oh, sister-in-law, please don't worry. I know you are unhappy because of Ye Mingzhu." Yan Jingtian also felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained, "But this competition has allowed everyone to see your talent.
A good thing.”
Yan Jingtian carelessly took a mouthful of food and put it into his mouth, and vowed: "When I find the luminous pearl, I will give it to you personally."
Murong Qing was shocked when he heard this, and quickly stopped him: "No, I don't have to ask for that night pearl. Since I can't find it, just give it to me. Doesn't that mean you don't have to worry about it?"
Originally, he got the Night Pearl just to help Yan Jingtian, but now that the Night Pearl is no longer in his hands, there is no need to go to such trouble.
"Why?" Yan Jingtian was even more confused.
If Murong Qing was not doing it for Ye Mingzhu, then why was he so depressed?
"Sister-in-law, do you really not want that night pearl?"
"Although I know you are a very indifferent person, the Night Pearl is priceless after all. How can you just say you don't want it?"
Facing Yan Jingtian's series of questioning, Murong Qing was a little embarrassed.
But Pei Mo interrupted him: "You talk so much, why don't you just listen to your sister-in-law?"
