The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 319: The Omen of Disaster

"Why?" Elder Zhong sneered, "Because of your shallow knowledge! You think that being the top scholar is Bai Lin's greatest halo! In fact, it's just the opposite. The top scholar is his least worthwhile title!"

Zhong Jingyu's face was slightly shocked, and he looked unconvinced.

Zhong Ge Lao said in a deep voice: "Initially, there was a drought in Yuzhou, and no one wanted to go, but he went anyway and was a great success. Was this because of the number one scholar?

Then there is the Luxian Iron Mine, which was discovered by him and An Shizi. Was it luck? Why didn’t others discover it?

Next, he joined forces with young Jinshi in the court, and everyone was convinced. Even the previous top scholar Ji Yuanda worked under him. Was this because of his top scholar status?

He could have turned to Prince An, or to our Zhong family, and still have a bright future, but he didn't! He clearly stood in the position of a relative of Prince An's mansion, and even Prince An helped him, saying that he was repaying his life-saving grace!

Do you think this was achieved by the number one scholar? Or do you think this was achieved by a mere woman like the Princess of Showa County?

Last year, everyone thought that he was like an ant trying to shake a tree when dealing with Qin Ge Lao, but he fought his way out! Even Qin Ge Lao left a comment for him before he retired: "Young people are to be feared!" Was this due to the top scholar?

Finally, it's our Zhong family. It was obviously your uncle who accepted him as a student, but he reached a cooperation with us based on the Bai's Workshop. The Northwest Army alone gave him enough capital, and now the Xie Family Army has been added to the mix!

You say that all this is due to the title of top scholar?

Of course, his family resources and his status as a county lord paved the way for him, but his start was still not as good as many people, let alone you. So why did he become a household name?

Humph, I haven’t even mentioned that Master Guiyuan and the Goddess favor these halos!

You are not convinced, right? Well, even if you can rise to prominence in the future and shine in the court, by that time, Bai Lin should have already entered the cabinet!"

Zhong Jingyu had a complicated expression, but still said unwillingly: "My master said that the goddess's appearance was just the work of a strange person. Maybe Bai Lin brought her here himself!"

"Haha!" Zhong Ge Lao laughed twice, "Do you think you are the only one who doubts? Do you think the emperor has never thought about it? Do you think all the civil and military officials in the court believe it? Stupid!

But the river water is real, and the potatoes are real too. They don't need sacrifices or offerings, and they don't even need temples! Tell me, what's the difference between such a strange person who asks for nothing and a god? If you can, find one for me!

I tell you, as long as the emperor approves, it doesn’t matter if she is a capable person or a witch! "

Zhong Jingyu stood there in a daze like a mentally retarded person. Elder Zhong ignored him, stood up, straightened his sleeves, and slowly walked out of the ancestral hall.

It took Zhong Jingyu a long time to come back to his senses. It can be said that his grandfather's ridicule today dealt him a great blow, because that was the person he had admired since he was a child.

Six years ago, his master told him that in the future he would replace Lord Zhong and become the pride of the Zhong family. Therefore, he continued to study hard while traveling and learned martial arts from his master.

The master said that he was a genius in calligraphy and painting, and would surely rise to great heights in the future. Sure enough, wherever they went, he could compete with the famous talents of that place, and he went from losing more than he won to never losing.

Later, he met Zhao Lingxiao. At that time, that man protected his employer from the hands of the Demon Sect and became famous in one battle, so he went to challenge him.

However, Zhao Lingxiao was unable to avoid it, but he was unwilling to give up, so he came up with a plan, which was to assassinate Zhao Lingxiao's employer.

Of course, despite his repeated failures, Zhao Lingxiao's martial arts skills are indeed unfathomable. He is definitely one of the best among the younger generation in the martial arts world. Even several veteran grand masters have praised him highly.

Gradually, Zhong Jingyu was moved by this. He often inquired about Zhao Lingxiao's whereabouts and followed his footsteps.

But for some reason, Zhao Lingxiao disappeared two years ago. He searched for him for a long time and went to many places, but couldn't find him.

Later, the master told him that their relationship as master and disciple had ended and that he should return to the capital. The master also told him that he hoped he could marry a woman named Bai Zhaozhao.

He was shocked and resisted by this, but his master explained that this woman was a sign of endangering the throne and causing chaos in the world!

The Zhong family has been loyal for generations and can resolve this girl's fate. Marrying her is also saving her life!

He knew that his master was a true master of Taoism, but also a hermit with no fixed place to live, unlike Master Guiyuan who was so high-profile.

In the past few years, almost everything the master said came true, so this Bai Zhaozhao must be the future disaster!

So, Zhong Jingyu thought about it and finally agreed. Anyway, his heart was already given to an impossible person, so it didn't matter who he married.

Then, Zhong Jingyu returned to Beijing, but when he showed his talents and became famous in the capital, he was ridiculed. A student who was defeated by him was not convinced and said bluntly that he was just an ordinary talent. There were many young talents like him in various provinces, and they would all gather in Beijing for the next spring examination. It was not surprising at all!

He did not care at the time, but retorted lightly that he would not bother with ignorant people. However, the student was obviously angered and said that he was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. He also said that the only true genius in the capital was Bai Lin, a top scholar who came from the countryside and became famous all over the world once he passed the imperial examination!

As soon as these words were spoken, even the people around him began to agree with the student and praised Bai Lin, but he still did not get angry, because he knew that he was the future leader of the Zhong family and would enter the cabinet, so why bother with these ordinary people?

But the student became proud because of the agreement of the people around him, and said to him that he heard that Bai Lin would be one of the examiners in the spring examination next year. Even if a genius like him could stand out among tens of thousands of candidates, he would only have crossed the threshold of seeing Bai Lin.

These words successfully aroused his emotions, and he directly declared that he would definitely win the top spot in the next spring examination, and his future achievements would definitely be higher than Bai Lin.

However, what he did not expect was that since what he said spread, many people around him looked at him strangely, and even his parents hoped that he would be more humble. All these made him feel very aggrieved, and after the emperor also said that he was arrogant, he was confined at home.

Of course, he would still sneak out for a stroll.

Suddenly one day, a rumor spread in Beijing that Bai Lin had suffered from amnesia. Many people expressed their regret, but he felt a little secretly happy. This was right. God was jealous of talented people. Such a dazzling figure should die sooner.

What surprised him even more was that he actually detected Zhao Lingxiao's aura!

He became a secret guard again, and coincidentally, the person he protected was Bai Zhaozhao, the person his master asked him to marry.

Isn’t this good!

When he marries Bai Zhaozhao in the future, Zhao Lingxiao will have to stay by his side!

It’s really the best of both worlds!

Later, Bai Lin miraculously recovered, and he became depressed again. He could only continue to assassinate Bai Zhaozhao and take the opportunity to fight Zhao Lingxiao.
