“I know. Since no cultivation techniques are mentioned in Mother God’s memories, it means that it’s not time yet.”

Gu Chengrui hugged her tightly after hearing that. At the same time, there was a trace of panic in his heart. What if she could cultivate? What would happen to him? What would happen to their child?

He couldn’t possibly let her send them away again and again. That would be too cruel to her.

Zhou Ying felt his unease, turned her head, and kissed him. “Don’t worry. If we can’t cultivate together, we’ll grow old together.”

“We’ll see. Maybe there’s something good waiting for us in the remaining two rooms.” Gu Chengrui rubbed his face against hers.

“Yes, since Mother God can foresee the future, she will definitely be able to see you. She will have something for us.

After Gu Chengrui heard that, he also had the same feeling. He nodded and did not reply.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the exams. Gu Chengrui and Gu Chengen arrived at the examination hall in advance, looking at each other when they saw Mrs. Liu waiting outside the examination hall.

It must be said that Mrs. Liu was an excellent mother to Gu Chengye.

Soon, the students opened the doors and walked out.

Some were crying, some were wailing, and, of course, some were excited, but there were very few.

There were also those who were carried out by the soldiers.

After Gu Chengye and Gu Chengsi came out, although they did not look too good, they still looked normal. After Gu Chengrui greeted them, he went straight back to the residence.

He asked the servants to prepare a bath. “You two clean up. Eat something and have a good sleep. We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

“Thank you.” Gu Chengsi cupped his fists.

Gu Chengye nodded and went back to his room to wash up.

As for Gu Chengen and Mrs. Liu, seeing that Gu Chengrui did not ask about the exam, the two of them were too embarrassed to ask. Instead, they went to the kitchen to get food.

They carefully sorted out the things the two had brought back.

Gu Chengrui saw that he had nothing else to do, so he returned to his room to rest.

Five days later, the list was posted. Gu Chengsi had passed the examination but was ranked forty-third among the third-grade scholars.

Gu Chengye, on the other hand, failed.

After receiving the news, Gu Chengrui first congratulated Gu Chengsi. He said to Gu Chengye, “Don’t take it to heart. You did your best.”

Gu Chengye smiled and said, “You don’t have to comfort me. Actually, I’ve already expected it. After all, when I was in middle school, I was only below average. I just came to try my luck.”

He looked at Gu Chengsi. “Congratulations. You must treat us later; let’s have a good drink!”

“No problem. I heard that the restaurant opened by sister-in-law is doing quite well. Let’s go over and have a good meal.”

“Then it’s settled.” Gu Chengye replied with a smile.

Although Mrs. Liu was slightly disappointed, she said nothing when she saw that Gu Chengye was unaffected.

After the court examinations, Gu Chengsi’s ranking had risen by eight places, and his ranking was no longer as embarrassing.

The next day, the officers and soldiers arrived to report the good news.

Gu Chengrui personally received them and gave them a reward.

That night, Gu Chengsi treated everyone to a hearty meal at a restaurant in the city’s eastern part. Of course, Zhou Ying had Niu Fugui give them a 40% discount, which was the cost price.

Just as everyone was eating happily, they suddenly heard someone causing trouble.

Zhou Ying was about to get up when Gu Chengrui pressed her down and stood up. “I’ll go. You guys eat.”

After he left, Mrs.. Liu asked in surprise, “With your current status, there are still people who dare to come to the restaurant to find trouble?”
