“Too over the top.”
“But it’s a good idea.”
A faint voice came from the air. Everyone’s hearts stirred, and they all looked toward the empty sixth Gourd.
So even the still-invisible Heaven-Abandoning Emperor thinks the rebellion idea is good?
“Hmph, none of your business!”
“But it’s rare for you to agree with this Young Master.”
“Then let’s decide it just like that.”
“Let us assist the Old Man in becoming emperor!”
The Peerless Young Master swayed proudly, then with a pop, fell from the gourd vine, bouncing and hopping as it crashed toward Xu Xian’s windowsill.
Xu Xian was staring blankly at the window.
The news of his failure in the imperial examination had already been known by his sister and brother-in-law.
They comforted him a few words, then brought up the old matter again, wanting him to become an apprentice at a pharmacy.
He was unwilling.
But there was nothing he could do.
After all, he knew.
If his sister and brother-in-law were not already unable to continue supporting his studies and examination attempts, they would not have spoken up to make him give up studying and become a pharmacy apprentice.
At the end of the day, it was still a matter of money.
If only he could earn money…
Xu Xian’s thoughts were interrupted. He stared blankly as a gourd smashed through the window paper and landed on his desk.
Somewhat dazed, he opened the window and looked around, but saw no one.
So where did this gourd come from?
Xu Xian glanced at the gourd trellis in the courtyard, a full ten paces away. It couldn’t have been blown in by the wind, could it?
Puzzled, he reached out and picked up the gourd.
“Grandpa! Grandpa!”
The Peerless Young Master shouted excitedly, instantly getting into character, fully committed.
Xu Xian was startled badly, watching the gourd in his hand transform in the blink of an eye into a palm-sized Gourd Brother.
The word “demon” had already reached his lips.
But Xu Xian forcefully swallowed it back down.
Because he felt like he had seen this Gourd Brother somewhere before, and his intuition told him that the Gourd Brother was good.
“Grandpa, don’t be afraid.”
“I am the Gourd Brother you planted with your own hands.”
“I’m here to help you.”
The Peerless Young Master pinched his voice, speaking in a sickeningly sweet, cutesy tone.
“And besides me, I still have six brothers.”
“If you don’t believe me, Grandpa, look outside.”
The Peerless Young Master pointed toward the gourd vine in the courtyard.
The remaining six gourds on the gourd vine fell silent for a moment.
Finally, under Xu Xian’s gaze, they forced smiles, swaying with the wind, and softly called out: “Grandpa.”
Ah, the Peerless Young Master really deserved to die!
