Although he was already very sure, after all, he had a false sense of understanding and performance that was far beyond ordinary times, and even when he was marking the papers in advance, the examiner repeatedly praised him, obviously he liked his articles quite a bit.

But before the final moment came out, he could not let go. Only when he saw his name appear at the top of the list with his own eyes can he truly feel at ease.

"No need to be anxious. What should be yours will naturally not escape." A familiar and sinister voice sounded in his ears, making his brows frown slightly.

He snorted coldly and said, "I believe in my own abilities. But you, you say so well on weekdays, why can't you even get into an imperial examination room? I'm afraid I have to reconsider my cooperation with you..."

"Hehe..." The voice sneered, "You don't know that the imperial examination is the key to the holy dynasty's vein. If any demon or ghost can go in and make trouble at will, then what kind of system will be? Wouldn't it be a big chaos in the world? Besides, even if I can go in, it will take a lot of effort, and compared with the reward, it will be a little bit less than the loss."

"You also know that you are a demon, so don't show up at will. I don't guarantee that there will be any righteous person to kill demons and eliminate demons!" Liu Xiuping was still worried and said coldly.

After the words fell, I heard no echoes, and probably I had indeed hid.

After all, it is hard to say whether the guy who could break his talisman a few days ago would be nearby. If he was caught, it would be a bad thing. At this moment, he was naturally much more cautious.

"Useless guy..." Liu Xiuping frowned, and then noticed that the crowd in front seemed to be making a noise, and the ranking was about to be announced!

He didn't care about the sound, and hurriedly followed the surging crowd and stepped forward a few steps, desperately standing on tiptoe, looking at the position of the list!

As the yamen runners untied the covering cloth, the highly anticipated list finally appeared in front of everyone!

Liu Xiuping immediately looked at the name at the top of the list, which was the position of the chief of the case he had been waiting for for a long time!

However, when he saw the text on it, his body trembled slightly, and his pupils suddenly shrank, as if he had seen something incredible!

"The head of the case...Lu Guiming..."

Not him?!

"How is this possible!"

He thought that it must be because of the list that missed his name, so he didn't remember it. However, soon, he found his name below "Lu Guiming".

"Second place!"

He widened his eyes, shook his head slightly, and staggered back two steps, as if he was in a state of dismay, and even if he hit someone behind him, he could no longer care about it.

"I'm not the head of the case..."

He naturally has an impression of Lu Guiming's name. He is a famous prodigy. It is said that he is only thirteen years old this year, four years younger than him!

However, talent is so unreasonable. Even if I have read so long, the child is still more literary than everyone else, and even more than him who has been working hard!

From afar, he could see the figure of the child surrounded by everyone. It was Liu Guiming. He had a little pride and pride on his face, and waved casually in the face of the compliments that everyone rushed to the front, "I have said it long ago, this county examination is just like this. Look, I just took the case head casually!"

"I will go to the palace for an exam next time, and I will definitely come back with the first test case! You can wait and see!"

Looking at the other party's relaxed and comfortable appearance, Liu Xiuping, who was ignored in the corner, seemed to have seen the most ironic thing in the world. The other party's casual attitude seemed to derogate his almost desperate efforts over the years to nothing. Now it seems so ridiculous!

He couldn't help laughing to the sky, but the scarlet in his eyes became darker and his face became more and more ferocious.

"Why! Why!"

He lowered his head again and staggered towards the inn where he had been temporarily staying for this period of time, but muttered to himself, as if he was questioning himself and others.

"Why did I get something that I tried my best to get? He can get so simply so much better than me..."

"Why should I have to suffer all the torture and humiliation to stand here, but he is so relaxed and at ease?"

"Didn't the examiner praise me three times? Why did he give the person the case leader?"

He seemed to remember something, and suddenly raised his head like a madman, roaring at the air where no one was around, "Didn't you say I'm just taking the case with you? Why did you lose to others? Are you talking! Are you playing tricks on me?!"

The pedestrians around seemed to be frightened by his crazy behavior, and they all retreated for a while. The look of looking at him was particularly strange, as if they were looking at a madman.

However, at this time, Liu Xiuping didn't care about these things at all. He just wanted to find an answer.

After a long time, the sinister voice sounded again, with a bit of solemnity in his tone, "Do you still remember that we gave up the monster's heart at that time? If we could eat that heart, our spell would be completely perfect. At that time, the case was naturally yours, and no one could take it away!"

The voice seemed a little regretful and gloating, "It's a pity that after an accident, your spells are endless, and your heart to open the orifice is missing... And that child named Liu Guiming seems to have an innate complete true heart to open the orifice. In this way, you will naturally not be able to beat him!"

Liu Xiuping was stunned and said angrily, "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

If he had known this, even if he had fought for this life, he would have to gain that demonic heart!

"You didn't ask me!" the voice sneered, "Actually, the position of the head of the case is not that important, you may not have to pay too much attention."

Liu Xiuping calmed down a little while hearing this. He ignored the strange eyes of others and walked back to his room.

"How do you say this?"

"If you don't mention the head of the county case, it's just a false reputation. You have to wait for the government examination before you decide. What's more, you are basically sure that you are the second place, and you can't escape the position of a scholar. Besides, the Liu family will never give up on you just because you only took the second place."

"What Mr. Liu needs is a promising person. In his eyes, there is hope that he can bring future juniors to the Liu family. The difference between the head of the case and not the head of the case may not be that big. As long as you are the best among all the members of the Liu family in this exam!"

"When you think about it, how can the candids in the Liu family who only know how to eat, drink and have fun be compared with you?"

Liu Xiuping thought about it carefully and felt that there was some truth. In addition, he was the second place, and the first place was a child of another small family. The remaining Liu family members could not beat him at all. The originally uneasy heart was a little more at ease.

In fact, he only wanted to get recognition from Mr. Liu. As long as the purpose was achieved, the difference between the head of the case would not be that big.

"Then just wait for the Liu family's reaction next..."

Liu Xiuping thought so, walked to the window, pushed open a gap slightly, looked at the people coming and going in the street market, and fell into deep thought...
