C9 Am I Beautiful?

White Spring Academy's Martial Cultivation Hall.

Nine white fox tails bloomed like flowers. Helian Shu wiped the blood that dripped from the corner of her mouth and asked coldly, "Who else?"

There were more than ten wailing men and women lying on the ground. All the other examinees, both on and off the field, took a step back.

The three invigilators present could not help but frown.

"I, I admit defeat …" When Helian Shu turned to look at them, the remaining two men fell to their knees.

Helian Shu extended her bloodied hand. "Brand."

Trembling, the two of them handed the wooden plaque to her. Helian Shu walked over to the main invigilator with pursed lips. She placed the pile of tablets on the table and said, "I won. I'll reduce the tuition fee by half."

"You are?"

"Helian Shu."

Helian... The main invigilator knitted his eyebrows as he stroked his goatee. He didn't say anything.

The invigilator on the left sneered. "Helian?" the general who betrayed our Nanqu? "

"No wonder his daughter didn't care too much about it." The examiner on the right looked at her with disdain.

Helian Shu pursed her lips and didn't say anything. The fingernail hidden under her sleeve had been deeply embedded into her palm.

"Enough." The main invigilator said indifferently, "Alright, I'll remember this. You can go back first."

"Yes."

After leaving the venue, Helian Shu stopped at a corner where no one was around, her face pale as she leaned against the wall.

"Snap." She knocked on the wall.

Not long later, a brick was pushed out and a bottle of medicine was held in one hand.

"Big Sis, are you alright?" Helian Chu asked worriedly through the wall.

"No problem." Helian Shu took the medicine and swallowed it. The dull pain made her internal organs feel much better.

After passing the bottle back, Helian Chu knew that she didn't want to worry herself, so she said, "I'll go find you next time I study."

"Alright."

Helian Shu heaved a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall. After a while, she returned to her usual self and walked out. She could not fall down. As long as she fell down, she would be eaten by those people without even leaving a bone behind.

Helian Chu put the bottle back in its place, her face clouded with worry. Every time she took the test, she was afraid that no one would come back. According to Helian Shu's temper, she would either die on the scene or win. He would die in the exam grounds, along with subsidies. If he lost, everything would be gone.

"Chu, cough cough."

Helian Chu's heart skipped a beat. She quickly turned around and whispered, "Master."

The old man wore a long, beige robe, and his long, white hair was tied behind his head. He smiled at the people behind him and said, "In the future, let people enter with dignity.

Helian Chu looked at the old man in astonishment. "Teacher?"

"Chu, you are the child with the most talent I've ever seen in medical plants. Do not ruin your future by any means." The old man said in a serious tone.

"Yes." Helian Chu bowed in agreement.

"This is my medicine house, and you are my disciple. You can naturally use the things here." "I'm tired, ahem …"

Helian Chu held back the tears in her eyes. "Thank you, Master. Your disciple will help you rest."

The moment he returned home, Helian Qi saw the twins sitting on the doorstep. When they saw him walk over, they ran over excitedly.

"Big brother!" What did you buy? "

"Big brother!" "I need a flute ~"

Helian Qi laughed so hard that his teeth could no longer be seen. He felt great when someone was waiting for him. I'll go back first and buy you some candied fruits. Do you like it? "

"Sugar gourd? "Is it expensive?" Helian Xue tilted her head and asked.

Helian Zhen nodded. "One coin for one string!"

"You two little money bums, don't worry. Big brother found a job. The boss gave me five taels of silver and said that I would get thirty taels of silver a month." Helian Qi walked slowly with one hanging on each leg. He couldn't move fast enough even if he wanted to.

Qi Yue, who had just finished collecting her rice, couldn't help but laugh as she looked at them. "Come back quickly, let go of your big brother in the sun."

"Awesome." The twins let go of Helian Qi's legs and pulled at his pants. If they didn't keep up with their footsteps, then their pants would have been ruined.

After entering the room, the twins stared eagerly at the bag on Helian Qi's body.

Opening the bag, Helian Qi took out three skewers of candied fruits, "Here, take one and give it to Mother."

"Yeah."

Qi Yue didn't expect that she would still have one of her own. She held onto the candied fruits with a hesitant expression.

"Mother, the candied fruits taste pretty good, why don't you have some? I still have two more of Shu's skewers, and each of them needs to finish one. " Helian Qi smiled.

Only then did Qi Yue take a light bite. It was a sweet, sour taste that she hadn't tasted in a long time.

"Mom, take this box of rouge." Helian Qi took out an exquisite wooden box and handed it over.

Qi Yue looked at him in surprise. "How much is that?"

"Don't worry, I still have four or two here." Helian Qi took out the remaining money, "I found a job at Yunyang City, it's in the study room."

"Which study?" Qi Yue felt that her tone of voice was a little urgent, so she added, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that …"

"It's fine, it's called Yun Xi Book House. The owner is a very amiable Mr. White Beard. I worked the night shift here, so I got 30 taels of silver per month. He first gave me 5 taels as the deposit. "

Upon hearing Yun Xi Book House, Qi Yue nodded in relief, "This study room is indeed not bad. But why is it a night shift?"

"Well, between the tenth and the seventh hour, the library is guarded at the third hour. This is the agreement given by the boss, take a look. " Helian Qi took out the stamped paper.

After looking carefully, Qi Yue asked, "Will it be dangerous?" The latter part was very serious.

"How could the study be dangerous?" Perhaps … Helian Qi only wants the golden finger not to fail.

"Can you read anywhere, brother?" Helian Xue said as she chewed on her candied flakes.

Helian Zhen licked her lips and said, "Once you're done reading, can you tell us more about it?"

Helian Qi lightly pinched her cheek and smiled, "Of course you can."

"Big brother is the best!" The twins shot forward like artillery shells.

Helian Qi almost lost his balance. Being hit by his sister or something was too embarrassing, he still had to train his body.

Qi Yue looked at them and laughed without saying a word. Ever since they woke up, their temperament had changed drastically, and the twins were sticking to him. She was clear that it was because they had no father. No matter how much Helian Qi hit them in the past, children would always remember to eat and not hit.

"Hey, can I make a clarinet after I finish cooking dinner? It may take two days to finish. "

"Awesome."

Helian Xue whispered, "Brother, what are we having tonight?"

"What does Snowy want to eat?" Helian Qi asked.

"It's a free meal. I don't want to eat anymore." Helian Xue cringed, afraid that people would say she was being naughty.

Helian Qi said with a pained heart, "Then let's eat."

"But, I don't have much rice left at home. I will be gone by tomorrow." Helian Zhen frowned in distress.

"Tomorrow morning, big brother will bring back a big bag. We can eat however much we want."

"Yeah!"

Helian Qi patted their little heads, "You guys should be concerned about what dishes to eat, do you understand?"

"Then what do you want to eat tonight?" The twins asked out of respect.

"Yes, red-braised pork, Amaranth and a carrot scrambled egg. You're too skinny, so you need to make up for it." Touching meat was not comfortable at all, but a child should be fat and fat to look at.

Helian Zhen was more concerned about the meat, so she asked, "Brother, what are we going to do with this?"

"After boiling the kelp in a while, stew it with the bones and eat it tomorrow. "Oh right, each of us will get a hairpin." Helian Qi said as he took out a wooden hairpin with their names engraved on it, "Do you like it?"

"I like it. I want it on." Helian Zhen fondled her hands lovingly.

"Alright." Helian Qi gave the two of them separate hairpins.

The twins excitedly asked Qi Yue, "Mother, what do you think?"

Qi Yue smiled and nodded. "Yes."

"Big brother is going to cook in the kitchen, you two be good." After saying that, Helian Qi was about to leave, but the twins immediately followed him. They had no choice but to bring the two henchmen to the kitchen.

Not long after, the door was pushed open.

Helian Chu shouted, "Mother! We're back. "

"Where's Shu?" Qi Yue stuck her head out of the window curiously. Wasn't it usually Helian Shu who called for people?

"I'm here, Mom." Helian Shu smiled uncomfortably. When she saw Qi Yue's face, she was slightly startled. "Mother, you've smeared rouge on your face?"

Qi Yue couldn't help but become bashful, complaining and happy at the same time, "It was Qi who bought it, what do you think? Is it ugly? "

"Good." "There's something wrong with your expression," Helian Shu said indifferently. "Mom, I'm tired. Let's go to sleep first. Don't call me for dinner. When I'm hungry, I'll go to the kitchen and find something to eat." Then, without waiting for Qi Yue to reply, he walked straight into his room, listening to the sound of the lock being locked.

Qi Yue frowned and asked worriedly, "Chu, is Shu angry? Qi bought it with the deposit he made, so it's not random. "

Helian Chu's expression was a little unnatural. She forced out a smile and said, "Mom, don't think too much. Big Sis is tired from this afternoon's exam, so sleeping will be normal."

"That's true too." Qi Yue let out a sigh of relief when she heard this.

"Huh?" Helian Chu sniffed and asked, "What kind of delicious food is Big Bro cooking?"

"Oh, braised pork and scrambled eggs with carrots. Let's go take a look?" As she spoke, Qi Yue excitedly closed the window and tiptoed like a child to peek outside the kitchen door.

Seeing this, Helian Chu couldn't help but laugh. Qi Yue waved at her, silently saying, "Come here."

Unable to refuse, Helian Chu quietly walked over and the two of them laid on the ground at the door to watch.

Helian Qi, who was in the kitchen, answered the twins' questions in a good-natured manner while cooking methodically. He looked very reliable.

First, he cooked the Red Braised Meat, then he cooked the carrots in a wok. The rice was cooked on another stove and cooked on both sides of the pot at the same time.

Finally, the Amaranth soup was cooked and the pots were cleaned. He said to the two of them, who had been looking at him for a long time, "Mom, Chu, come in and eat. You two have been looking at me for a long time, am I beautiful?" After saying that, he even feigned a bashful expression and blinked his eyes.

The two of them were successfully amused by him. The twins also laughed heartily and said, "Big brother, you're so carefree ~"

Helian Qi's ears trembled, "I can't take it anymore. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. Don't let me make you lose your appetite."

He did not hear the expected sarcasm, so he looked up and asked, "Eh? Where's Shu? "

The smile on Helian Chu's face froze as she replied, "Big Sis is tired from the exam and has gone to sleep."

"What exam?" He remembered that he couldn't wait to finish the exam and eat two big bowls.

Helian Chu paused before saying, "Body Arts."

Helian Qi blinked, "Alright then, let's eat first."

Hearing that, Helian Chu didn't say anything. When they left the house, Helian Qi gave her the wooden hairpin that belonged to her, "Isn't it beautiful? Do you want Big Brother to give it to you? "

Helian Chu stared blankly at the hairpin for a moment before handing it to him with a smile. "It looks good."

Helian Qi put on the hairpin for everyone and the twins clapped, "Wow! Second Sister is so carefree! "

Helian Chu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Where did these words come from?
