509 Su Chong Is the Martial Arts Top Scorer

It was not strange for Su Hua to have such a question. It was just that the rumors had been getting more and more exaggerated recently.

Some people even said that the white fish could bring people back to life.

In addition, Su Xiaolu had been buying fish every day recently. Others might be crazy about it because the rumors were too exaggerated. However, Su Xiaolu was the divine doctor’s disciple. If this white fish did not have any effect, she would not have bought so much for her family to eat.

Su Hua was worried that Su Xiaolu knew something and was deliberately hiding it. He looked into Su Xiaolu’s eyes and said, “Xiaolu, don’t hide it from me.”

Su Xiaolu looked at Su Hua helplessly and said, “Second Brother, this fish does have some magical effects. It’s not as magical as the rumors say, but it’s about the same. This white fish can heal the incompleteness and injuries of the body to a certain extent, but it’s useless after a certain point. However, it’s also very good for strengthening the body, so I want you all to eat more.”

“Recently, the price of the white fish has doubled. I think it’s about time, so I don’t plan to buy it anymore. Zhou Zhi said that it first appeared in Qinghai, Wuzhou. It’s a new species from the deep sea. I think this is just the beginning. There might be other new species in the future.”

Su Xiaolu told the truth. Su Hua fell silent.

After a while, he said, “The Crown Prince has already sent people to investigate. Let’s wait for the news to come back.”

Su Xiaolu nodded.

Now that her second brother and her sister’s weddings were imminent, she would not leave the capital.

Su Xiaolu did not buy the white fish again. The price of the white fish doubled again, and the supply could not meet the demand.

It was no longer available on the market. When Su Xiaolu went to see Zhou Zhi, Zhou Zhi told her the reason. Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu and said, “Xiaolu, the white fish are only available in the palace now, so they can’t be bought on the market. I got one today. Take it with you when you go home.”

If the emperor knew about such a good thing, he naturally wouldn’t let the fish out into the world. Zhou Zhi didn’t have it either. He got one and asked Su Xiaolu to bring it home.

Su Xiaolu shook her head. “No, you should eat it. I’ve already eaten a lot at home.”

Zhou Zhi smiled gently and said, “Xiaolu, I ate a lot. It’s no longer useful to me. I have a feeling that there will be more of such things in the future.”

Su Xiaolu was shocked. She felt this way because of the Space. Zhou Zhi had nothing, but he seemed to have understood, so Su Xiaolu was very surprised.

Zhou Zhi was very smart and very intelligent.

“Xiaolu, I’m not that smart. I have such a guess because the spies sent back news that a huge vortex has appeared in the Qinghai Sea. There are many white fish in that area. It’s just that they’re in the vortex and difficult to catch.”

Zhou Zhi smiled gently. He looked at Su Xiaolu and felt that she was too cute. She looked like an innocent little deer.

He shared his news with Su Xiaolu.

After hearing this, Su Xiaolu, “I see, but your guess might be right. The white fish is a new species. The changes in the sea will probably bring more than the white fish. While the white fish is worth a lot now, it might be the same price as ordinary fish in the future.”

Zhou Zhi smiled and nodded. “I think so too. That’s because there are too many white fish like this in that place. If they can all be caught and flooded into the market, it won’t be rare anymore.”

The world had changed, and this change was what he was looking forward to. Zhou Zhi’s eyes began to burn with eagerness.

When Su Xiaolu returned, Zhou Zhi gave her the fish and Su Xiaolu brought it with her.

She thanked him and went home.

Seeing Su Xiaolu return with fish, Su Xiaoling looked puzzled. She said that she was not going to buy it anymore, but why was she eating it again after just a day?

Su Xiaolu smiled and explained, “Zhou Zhi gave it to me. Sister, don’t worry and eat it.”

Su Xiaoling smiled helplessly. Since there was fish, she naturally had to cook it well for her family.

On the 21st of October, the results of the martial arts examination were announced.

Su Chong’s name stood at the top of the rankings. Su Chong had become the martial arts top scorer.

The people from the Ministry of Rites came to report the good news. It was very lively.

The street patrol would be held three days later.

In the past few days, the Qi family had come to congratulate them, and the Yan family had also come.

Yan Qingyun seemed to have aged a lot. He looked at Su Chong and Su Hua with a complicated expression. He wanted to get close to them, but that was not something he could do just because he wanted to. Therefore, he only congratulated them politely and was received politely.

The Qi family was different. Qi Xingfeng and Qi Xingzhi were at the Su residence every day.

Chu Jin also came to congratulate him personally.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao had been in the capital for more than half a year and had made some friends. Many people came to congratulate them every day.

This was a joyous occasion. The family had produced two top scorers. One was a scholar, and the other was a martial artist. If word got out, everyone would be envious.

Although they were envious, people didn’t discuss it for long. In all the teahouses and alleys, the white fish was the hottest topic.

Su Chong did not care much about the limelight. After all, he was also a martial arts top scorer no matter what.

The day of the street patrol was also very eye-catching.

The Su family, the Chen family, and the Qi family had already booked a room. From the best angle in the capital, they opened the window and waited for the street patrol team to pass.

There were people on both sides of the street.

The martial arts top scorer, the second scorer, and the third scorer rode their horses slowly across the street and waved at the people on both sides.

When Su Chong saw his family, he waved at them and smiled.

He was still searching for the figure that he yearned for. Lin Yaoyao had promised him that she would come to see him on the street patrol.

Along the way, Su Chong carefully observed both sides of the street. When he didn’t see Lin Yaoyao, he felt disappointed.

Lin Yaoyao was here. Hearing the commotion outside, she took a few deep breaths and opened the window to take a look.

The man riding over from afar was really dazzling. The top scorer’s uniform on him was really beautiful. The flowers on his official hat were also really beautiful. When he smiled, he was also beautiful.

Su Chong saw Lin Yaoyao. He reached out to her and his lips moved.

Lin Yaoyao understood. He was calling her ‘Yaoyao’.

Lin Yaoyao smiled and waved her hand gently. She moved her lips and whispered, “Ah Chong.”

Su Chong only saw Lin Yaoyao’s mouth move, but he didn’t know what she said. He also wanted to know, but he was too far away to ask loudly. He looked at Lin Yaoyao and smiled, returning an even brighter smile. His lips moved as he said, “Yaoyao, I love you.”

Lin Yaoyao blushed. She only retracted her gaze and closed the window after the street patrol team had walked far away. Then, she packed her things and went home.

Not long after she returned home, Lin Pingsheng and Madam Chen also returned. Madam Chen muttered, “You won’t go even if I ask you to. You’ll regret it in the future. Su Chong is very good-looking today.”
