After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 365 Weird

Li Siqi followed Xu Yingying's gaze and just happened to see the dazzling lantern. The lantern seemed to be larger than the other lanterns, but its refinement was still the same.

At just one glance, Li Siqi understood why Xu Yingying looked dazed. The lantern seemed to have some magical power that made people's eyes glued to it and unable to move their eyes away.

Li Siqi's mind moved slightly. Since Xu Yingying liked it so much, he might as well go and get it for Xu Yingying. He thought that this should make Xu Yingying's attitude towards him more moderate.

Li Siqi had a very beautiful thought. After a while of longing, Li Siqi said to Xu Yingying: "Do you like it, Boss? Wait, I'll get it back for you."

Xu Yingying was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she felt conflicted. She really liked the lantern at first sight, but there were so many people here, so she decided to give up as it would be quite troublesome.

Before Xu Yingying could say no, Li Siqi ran out.

Seeing that Li Siqi was about to run away, Xu Yingying quickly packed up the things at hand and ran after Li Siqi.

It was not until she squeezed into the crowd and listened to the discussions of the people around her that Xu Yingying realized that the lantern she had just set her eyes on was actually the one used by the Chrysanthemum Fairy to choose the man with whom to spend the night.

Xu Yingying suddenly felt speechless. Li Siqi rushed forward without knowing anything. If he was really favored by the Chrysanthemum Fairy and became her son-in-law, he would be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying suddenly felt a little sad for some unknown reason.

Li Siqi was completely unaware of this. He pushed through the crowd and walked towards the lanterns. Before he could get close, he was blocked by someone.

"Hey, sir, are you here to participate in the selection of Mr. Chrysanthemum as well?" The person who stopped Li Siqi looked like a guard. He had a stern face and seemed a little impatient.

Li Siqi was not angry when he saw this, and explained calmly: "No, I just like that lantern, so I came to take a look."

After these words were spoken, the other party was a little stunned. He did not expect that there was actually someone who could resist the temptation of the Chrysanthemum Fairy.

"That lantern is the token that the Chrysanthemum Fairy is looking for the Chrysanthemum Master. If you get this lantern, you can spend a good night with the Chrysanthemum Fairy. If you want to get that lantern, you need to participate in the selection."

Seeing Li Siqi like this, the person who stopped him thought he was a tourist who knew nothing and patiently explained.

Li Siqi was immediately fascinated when he heard this. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Yingying behind him.

It happened that Xu Yingying seemed to be in a daze at this moment and did not notice Li Siqi's gaze. A trace of loneliness flashed in Li Siqi's eyes.

"Then I'll join." Li Siqi hesitated for a moment, then nodded. He still wanted the lantern.

Xu Yingying naturally noticed what Li Siqi had just done, but for some reason, she didn't want to stop him. She also wanted to see what Li Siqi would do next.

With the joining of Li Siqi, the selection officially began.

The way of the competition is also very simple, which is the most basic flying flower order. You only need to catch the poems given by the questioner. The person who catches the most poems will win in the end.

But the people who came here because of the fame were not just young men who just wanted to join in the fun. There were also many scholars and literati who heard about what was happening here and came to exchange ideas with each other.

But Li Siqi was not afraid after all. He loved reading since he was young. He had read tens of thousands of books and was very good at reciting poems and composing couplets.

Just like that, Li Siqi went to the classroom with full confidence.

Even so, Li Siqi had to work very hard to come out on top and win the chrysanthemum lantern in one fell swoop.

Li Siqi held the finely crafted chrysanthemum lantern, came to Xu Yingying excitedly, and handed the thing in his hand to her.

"Brother, look, it's really beautiful." Li Siqi said in a low voice excitedly.

Xu Yingying's face couldn't help but be filled with a smile. She uttered a low "hmm". Before she could say anything, Li Siqi was grabbed by someone again.

"Where are you going, sir? The game hasn't ended yet." The man who had stopped Li Siqi before jumped out again.

Li Siqi looked back and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, can I withdraw from this game? The Flying Flower Order just now has exhausted all my life's knowledge."

"If I continue to compete, I'm afraid I'll be laughed at. I know that I'm not very talented and learned. I've reached my limit by taking down this lantern. I really can't go any further."

Li Siqi had said so much, no one could say a word of blame.

Seeing this, Li Siqi proudly took Xu Yingying and the lantern and walked out of the crowd.

Upon seeing this, the spectators around also made way for the two men. They originally just didn't think highly of Li Siqi, but they didn't expect that Li Siqi would be the one who could take down the lantern.

On the way back to the inn, Xu Yingying was in a pretty good mood.

She hummed a little tune softly and chatted with Li Siqi from time to time. Li Siqi was quite satisfied. After all, Xu Yingying's attitude towards him had improved a lot.

What Li Siqi and Xu Yingying didn’t know was that shortly after they left, the Chrysanthemum Fairy sent someone to say that the competition was over and that she had found her ideal Chrysanthemum Prince.

Everyone looked at each other, no one knew who was the one favored by the Chrysanthemum Fairy.

As for Li Siqi, not long after returning to the inn, he stayed in Xu Yingying's room and pestered her to pay attention to him.

Xu Yingying was also very annoyed, with an expression of disgust on her face, but Li Siqi still ignored her and continued doing his own thing.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on Li Siqi's door.

"Boom boom boom——"

The knock on the door could be heard particularly clearly in Xu Yingying's private room.

The two looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.

Li Siqi quickly opened Xu Yingying's door and looked at the person outside his room.

"Who are you looking for?" Li Siqi asked expressionlessly.

"This should be Mr. Xiao." The visitor said respectfully with a smile on his face.

"I am. Who are you? What do you want from me?"

Li Siqi looked at the other person and thought about it in his mind. He found that the other person's face was unfamiliar and he had never seen it before. He couldn't help feeling a little confused about this.

"Don't be afraid, sir. We are all servants of the Chrysanthemum Fairy. At the Lantern Festival just now, you made a stunning debut with your brilliant writing skills. My fairy fell in love with you at first sight. She immediately ended the competition and sent us to welcome you."

The man looked at Li Siqi respectfully and explained.

Xu Yingying heard it and found Li Siqi's expression somewhat intriguing.
