God of Dragon - Chapter 42

Yan Xiangma tasted the antidote in person, and it was very effective.

After Li Muyang’s father Li Yan, mother Luo Qi, and younger sister Li Sinian took the antidote, there were no other sequelae in their bodies.

Li Yan got up from the bed that night and mended the walls of the courtyard. After a short while, he repaired the cracked bluestone wall.

His mother, Luo Qi, was cooking while his younger sister, Sinian, was studying and making trouble.

Yan Xiangma took the credit for killing Crow, and his family didn’t doubt it. In their eyes, Li Muyang was always the weak boy who needed their protection.

Life returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Li Muyang knew in his heart that something very important had happened.

He could sense Cui Xiaoxin’s estrangement, and he had also anticipated that something would happen in the end.

Li Muyang’s mood was very bad, but he did not show it.

After dinner, he rushed to wash the dishes. Luo Qi didn’t agree and asked him to go upstairs to study.

Li Muyang reached out to feel the pulse of his father Li Yan. Luo Qi looked at him confusedly and asked, “When did Muyang learn to feel one’s pulse?”

Li Muyang already had an answer in his mind. He said with a smile, “I learned it from the Taoist priest, but I didn’t have a chance to use it in the past.”

Li Yan nodded and said, “He is a talented master. If you can learn his medical skills, it will be a good skill to earn a living with.”

Luo Qi was enraged and said angrily, “Li Yan, what are you talking about? My son is going to study at Xifeng University. He will make great achievements in the future. How could he make a living with medical skills?”

Li Yan giggled and said, “Isn’t it good to be a doctor? It’s good to live a comfortable and easy life, and he will be respected by others.”

“As long as my son is willing to do it. If he likes it, I’ll naturally let him study it, and if he doesn’t like it, we can’t force him.”

“Well, well, well, you can decide your son’s affairs.” Li Yan did not want to have a dispute with his wife on the matter of Li Muyang, because he had never won.

Li Sinian ran over flatteringly, held Li Yan’s arm, and said, “Dad, you can decide my things. I will do whatever you want, okay?”

Li Yan stretched out his hand to stroke his daughter’s little head and said, “Okay. Now go upstairs and sleep.”

“Dad, it’s too early,” Li Sinian said with dissatisfaction. “I supported you just now. Can’t you also consider my feelings?”

“You said that you would do anything I want? Then stay with me for a while before going upstairs to sleep.” Li Yan really loved his smart and sensible youngest daughter.

Abruptly, he recalled the eldest daughter who was taken to the Lu Family—she should also be so beautiful and lovely, right? And she should be… happier than living with them, right?

“Dad, your pulse is normal, and the toxins in your body should have been removed. The most important thing now is to replenish your nutrition and restore your physical strength to the previous state as soon as possible.”

After Li Muyang finished speaking to his father, he turned to Li Sinian and said, “It’s your turn.”

“Brother…” Li Sinian blinked her eyes and said, “Let’s go to my room before you check my pulse, okay?”

“Why? I have to check our mother after you.”

“Oh, why are you so stupid? I’m a girl.”

“But…”

Li Sinian’s room was warm and elegant. It was not pink or light red like other girls’ rooms. All the decorations looked very aesthetic.

Her room was very large, which was two times bigger than Li Muyang’s.

Although her room was big, when she talked about something, she always ran in to Li Muyang’s room. Li Muyang rarely came to her room. Maybe he also felt that she was a big girl with her own privacy as she continued to grow up.

“Brother, you’re in a bad mood, aren’t you?” Li Sinian sat down on the chair, kicked off her slippers, crossed her legs like a little monk, and asked directly.

“No, of course not. How could that be?” Li Muyang said with a smile.

“You’re lying.” Li Sinian said with a disdainful look, “When we had dinner, I saw you looking absent-minded several times. I talked to you, but you ignored me. I gave you some coriander and you ate it—you had never eaten coriander before.”

“Maybe it’s because of what happened today, and it’s me who caused it, so in my heart…”

“So, in your heart, you really can’t let go of Sister Xiaoxin?”

“…” Li Muyang knew that he could not hide anything from this little girl.

“Brother, can’t you see it? Sister Xiaoxin wanted to make a thorough break with you…”

Li Muyang was silent for a long time, and then said with a smile, “I figured it out, and then?”

“And then…” Li Sinian sighed softly, stretched out her pink wrist, and handed it to Li Muyang, saying, “Feel my pulse. You’d better live a good life and be who you are. She is just a woman. If you don’t mind…”

“What?”

“I can be your temporary girlfriend for two days.”

“You want to rip me off again,” Li Muyang said.

“…”

Li Muyang took part in the next exams. The two exams were not difficult. Except for two small questions that he could not figure out the answers to, he answered all the other questions.

Li Muyang felt good because according to Cui Xiaoxin’s description, every answer he could answer must be correct—so wasn’t his answer almost perfect?

Li Muyang didn’t see Cui Xiaoxin again. When the exam was over, he deliberately waited at the entrance of the examination room for a while. Until the students were all gone, he didn’t see Cui Xiaoxin come out.

Li Muyang understood that she might have handed in the test paper and left in advance.

After the exam, the teachers asked all the students to go back to the classroom.

Li Muyang returned to his classroom and scanned the place at a 15-degree angle several times. As expected, Cui Xiaoxin did not come over.

However, Li Muyang’s appearance made the students in the class very surprised. They talked about him while looking and pointing at him.

Zhang Chen turned around, looked at Li Muyang, who was behind him, and asked with a smile, “How did you do in the exams, Li Muyang?”

“Not bad I think,” Li Muyang, who was disappointed at Cui Xiaoxin’s leaving, said with a poker face.

“What do you mean by ‘not bad’? I heard that Cui Xiaoxin had been helping you study recently. You will be admitted to Xifeng University of the empire, right?” Zhang Chen made a face at the people around him after he said that. Others all laughed when they heard Zhang Chen.

After the Liberal-arts Exam, everyone was relieved. They would not miss such a good show.

Li Muyang seriously thought about it before he said, “I think so. But no one can guarantee this kind of thing.”

“…”

The whole classroom was dead silent.

Zhang Chen stared at Li Muyang with wide eyes and said, “Li Muyang, are you crazy? Do you know what I was asking just now?”

“I’m not crazy.” Li Muyang also stared at Zhang Chen with sharp eyes and said, “If you continue to laugh at me like this, you will surely know what I am going to do.”

Zhang Chen was really afraid Li Muyang would beat him, but if he stepped back, people would know he was scared. Therefore, he said stubbornly, “You can’t go to Xifeng University, nor can you be with Cui Xiaoxin. Even if you work hard, it will be in vain. You are still a good-for-nothing piece of trash.”

Li Muyang grabbed Zhang Chen by the collar and lifted him up in front of the whole class. Then he walked toward the lotus pond outside the classroom.

“Plop—”

Li Muyang suddenly exerted all his strength and mercilessly threw Zhang Chen into the pool.

“Li Muyang, you are so crazy!” Zhang Chen struggled in the pool and shouted, “Wait and see. I won’t let you off this time!”

Li Muyang’s eyes reddened, and with an irrepressible rage in his voice, he said fiercely, “I will go to Xifeng University, and I will be with Cui Xiaoxin.”
