Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 13 They have met many people and know that I am extraordinary!

"Master, what does this mean?"

"Do scholars need a lot of money to enter the city?"

"Are you well off, Master? Do you need my help?"

...

Long Zhi, in Bai Yu's arms, doesn't understand human emotions. After seeing the current situation of the previous scholar who entered the city, she couldn't help but ask Bai Yu with concern.

Because in a sense, Bai Yu's identity is the same as the previous person's. She doesn't know if Bai Yu will also have to endure such humiliation.

Bai Yu lowered his gaze and shook his head gently, "Scholars don't need a lot of money to enter the city."

"But the previous scholar did."

"Those two soldiers were actually helping him."

"But he didn't listen to their advice."

Long Zhi: ?

"Report the name of the person who is coming and the purpose of entering the city."

Before Bai Yu had a chance to explain to her,

it was his turn. The two soldiers, with a majestic demeanor, their eyes shining under their helmets, scrutinized him and asked.

"I am Bai Yu, a student, coming to the capital to seek fame."

Bai Yu stood tall, his posture straight,

his gaze sharp, his words calm.

But there was no trace of the carefree and casual attitude he had when he was on the road.

"A scholar? The entrance fee to the city is 12 wen."

The two soldiers were taken aback, their voices trembling,

and there was no longer any hint of commanding tone as they spoke to Bai Yu.

However,

Bai Yu looked down on them with cold eyes,

as if he was looking at insignificant insects, and didn't pay.

He just took a step forward, without even explaining, and said calmly, "Make way!"

As if there was an insurmountable gap between them, not just a difference in class.

Momentum is a difficult thing to describe,

the emperor has the awe-inspiring dragon's might, sitting on the throne, and everyone obeys.

A fierce general on the battlefield has a killing aura, intimidating the heroes, and even gods and ghosts fear him.

Those in high positions, after sitting for a long time, also have an air of nobility, an aura of superiority that makes people instinctively obey them.

And at this moment,

the two soldiers felt that the young man in front of them, who was not very old,

had an indescribable aura,

Like a giant python swimming like a dragon, confident and proud, high above, destined to be extraordinary, not in the same league as them.

Such a feeling, when they enlisted in the army, they had never felt it from the generals they were fortunate enough to see.

"Sir, please come in!" x2

But the two of them didn't even stop Bai Yu for a moment, they directly stepped aside, bowed their heads neatly, and respectfully invited him in.

But they were completely different from the arrogant appearance they had when facing the scholar earlier.

...

"How about it? Long Jiejie, I told you it wouldn't cost much!"

Not long after entering the city,

In the blink of an eye, Bai Yu returned to his usual carefree appearance,

While leisurely looking around the bustling capital.

He smiled and said to Long Zhi, who was in his arms.

"Young master, why?"

Humans are really an interesting group.

Long Zhi rarely interacted with them,

But now that she had entered the mortal world,

She was a little confused about what had just happened,

And couldn't help but ask Bai Yu like a curious baby.

Clearly, they had the same identity, so why did they get completely different results?

"Let's talk about the person earlier, do you think he will pass the imperial examination?"

Bai Yu asked Long Zhi with a smile.

"Um... probably not, I don't know."

Bai Yu shook his head lightly, his voice somewhat indifferent but firm: "He won't!"

"This person is dressed plainly, covered in dust, with a mild temperament, and often humble when facing others. His social status is probably not too high. I speculate that he might be a rural teacher, making his first trip to the capital."

"This is the first impression from his appearance. The two gatekeepers have seen many people and can tell at a glance."

"Up to this point, he needs to pay 12 wen, which is the burden of his identity and must be paid."

"And these 12 wen have nothing to do with the soldiers, they won't get a penny of it."

"The imperial salary is too little, so they always have to make some extra money."

Bai Yu's eyes flickered as if he could see through people's hearts.

In just a few sentences, he thoroughly explained the scholar's identity.

"However, he showed confusion about paying more money."

"And instead of mentioning his background or revealing his identity, he brought up the most useless legal provisions."

"He doesn't even know that the extra money is not for the soldiers."

"This shows that he is unfamiliar with the officialdom and ignorant of human relationships, rigidly adhering to the law."

Bai Yu asked her in response, "Do you think someone like him has a high possibility of becoming an official?"

"Um... not really."

"Since the probability of achieving a class leap is low, then tell me, is the position of a city guard higher or the position of a poor scholar higher?"

"City guard."

"You've been in the river for a long time, do you know that big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp?"

"I know."

The laws of heaven and earth, Long Zhi is well aware of.

Bai Yu made a gesture with his palm, indicating a big fish eating a small fish.

Smiling, he said, "Scholars are shrimp, city guards are small fish, what's wrong with you asking for money from both?"

"..."

"The matter should end here."

He looked up at the majestic palace not far away and continued, "However, this scholar is unreasonable and wants to cause trouble, wanting to report to the authorities."

"What is this? This is called having no political sense, not understanding the rules, not understanding the situation, this is stupidity."

"Two soldiers dare to stand at the city gate so boldly, setting different fees for entry and exit, obviously everything has been arranged from above, like a tight net, with a complete system of specifications."

"You, a poor scholar, dare to break into this power system's high walls all by yourself? Are you qualified?"

"Going in... is like a mud cow entering the sea, a stone falling into a deep pool..."

"It's useless."

"Will he be afraid if you go and report him?"

Bai Yu's gaze was deep, and his voice was particularly cold.

Long Zhi fell silent.

Her mind, filled with cultivation, suddenly had trouble processing these things.

She needs to think more.

"Lastly, the dumbest point."

"When he saw that the other party didn't yield to force and wasn't afraid of threats, he softened."

"He even begged the two guards at the city gate, and even showed them his underwear, exposing everything."

"Begging a stranger is the stupidest approach!"

"The other party is not his parents, so why would they have any pity for him?"

"They know very well that this person has no background or talent! Isn't he just a piece of fat to be taken advantage of?"

"What is this like?"

"It's like a stunning beauty stripping naked and running into a den of evil demons and bandits."

"With tearful eyes, I pity him, begging the other party not to violate him!"

"Is that even possible?"

The little snake in her arms paused at the words: "Hmm..."

"Narrow-minded, lacking in spirit, not worth much!"

"If he doesn't pay, who will?"

"The person in charge is lost in their own dreams, while the onlookers see clearly."

"Although the two guards at the city gate harbor ill intentions, they are also teaching him, telling him that he's dreaming and that this place is not suitable for him. He won't pass the exam, so he shouldn't waste his time and money coming in..."

"But he stubbornly refuses to understand and insists on coming in~"

Bai Yu shrugged, his tone casual but his words cold and indifferent: "In the end, it's like carrying water in a bamboo basket, just a big dream~"

You should know that now is not the time for the redistribution of power cake when the world is just beginning to settle. It is already the later period of the dynasty, and the resources have been divided and consumed. At this time, what is needed is not a lot of people who can recite books and speak logically, but people with vision, perception, and background.

The people who rush to the capital for the imperial examination are as numerous as the carp crossing the river, but only a few can truly pass through the Dragon Gate. This kind of scholar who has no background, no strength, no vision, is weak, rigid, and ignorant, it would be really ridiculous if he could pass.

"Oh."

Long Zhi seemed to understand but also not understand, digesting this information that was difficult for her to comprehend. As a newcomer to the mortal world, everything seems to be different from what she imagined. Her young master seems to be different too~

"What about you?"

She asked somewhat absentmindedly.

"Me?"

"They have seen many people..."

Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, pointing at himself, his eyes full of confidence.

"I am extraordinary!"

Long Zhi was taken aback, feeling that this person was somewhat different from what she had imagined and known.

Before she could think too much, in the blink of an eye, this person changed into a playful and smiling appearance.

"Thanks to Sister Long's protection, they wouldn't dare to trouble me~"

He said with a playful smile.

Long Zhi:...

Deceiving the dragon!

PS: Who likes the N-word! Don't insult me! This is what I mean by "black skin"! Haven't you heard of dark elves? Or someone like Yagami Light from Death Note! Damn it! I'm getting impatient!
