Gallinas y perros vuelan en el caos y el renacimiento - Capítulo 6
Chu Ge Xun smiled slightly: Uncle Zhen, just wait and see.
※※※※※
Chu Ge Xun seemed to see the shining, radiant title of "Top Scholar" above his head.
Just then, Chu Ge heard a voice.
He merely frowned at the time, never imagining that this sound would become one of the most feared and hated notes in his long life.
"Oh dear... I almost missed it..." The voice was cheerful and not at all serious.
It's not just that I was almost late, it's that I'm already late!
Chu Gexun leaned on his sword, unmoving, thinking: Damn, he really is a spoiled brat. How did I guess so accurately?
He didn't even bother to look back, because it would be a waste of time.
Then the script supervisor jumped out: "Young master, who are you...?"
"My name is Le Yan." The voice remained unhurried, carrying a slightly smiling and friendly tone.
Chu Ge thought to himself: Do you really have to do this? Do you think this is your home, trying to establish a family relationship?
"So it's Young Master Leyan! Oh... Young Hero Leyan, please, please come this way. You were almost disqualified, thankfully, you still made it in time." The script supervisor's attitude was unusually enthusiastic, as if he had recognized them as family.
Too late my ass!
Just a moment ago, he was hiding to the side cursing because he couldn't wait for the contestants. How come his attitude changed so quickly?
Chu Gexun reached up and scratched his neck. The sun was a bit hot, and he thought to himself: This playboy probably has quite a background.
"Thank you so much, thank you so much. You've really gone to a lot of trouble." The spoiled young master's soft, slow voice continued.
"It's nothing, it's my duty." The script supervisor's enthusiasm continued to rise.
Chu Gexun was so angry he felt like vomiting. What kind of people were these? It was clearly this brat named "Leyan" who wasted everyone's time, so why wasn't anyone scolding him? Did he have any competitive spirit at all? If he, Chu Gexun, were the chief examiner, he would have disqualified him long ago and kicked him out without saying a word! Of course, competitive spirit comes first. How could a dignified Tiger General like him wait for a spoiled brat, and possibly a greasy-haired, powder-faced one at that? What kind of nonsense was this?
When Chu Ge caught sight of a dazzling red robe flashing past in front of him, he scratched the itch on his neck and looked up.
Then he... was stunned.
※※※※※
Before me stood a boy with exquisitely handsome features.
She wore a dazzling red dress with a small shawl-shaped shoulder cape adorned with interwoven black and gold threads. Her belt was the same color, and thankfully, her boots were all black. They were all clearly of the highest quality.
He held a small, delicate red fan in his hand.
She stood there gracefully.
He was fair-skinned and delicate, with clear and bright eyes. His face was so translucent under the sun that it was almost transparent. His eyes seemed to see right through people's minds, yet he had a smile on his lips. What was he smiling about?
If it weren't for his exceptionally handsome eyebrows, typical of a man's arched eyebrows that slant upwards, if it weren't for the relaxed and unconstrained masculine air he exuded, if it weren't for the fact that his height was acceptable among men... Chu Ge Xun would definitely suspect: Whose young lady has run out here? Has she been reading too many idle books and started dressing up as a man?
Then Chu Ge Xun saw the very obvious pillow mark on that almost transparent white face.
This tells us that reality is never perfect.
When Zhong Chuge first heard Le Yan's voice, he thought that a spoiled brat had come.
When he suddenly looked up and saw his face, he was astonished.
It wasn't until Chu Ge Xun noticed the pillow mark on his face that he realized the Celestial was just a mortal, and more likely a sleepyhead who was late for the competition because he overslept.
※※※※※
"My lord, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting." The other party bowed very politely, his attitude extremely upright, like a humble and gentle gentleman.
Chu Gexun's anger suddenly vanished in an instant.
As expected of someone from a prestigious family, I'll forgive you for being late, considering your good upbringing. After all, you're still a child and need to get more sleep. Good boy/girl.
After getting to know Tang Leyan, Chu Gexun realized how deceptive a person's appearance can be.
He shouldn't have been fooled by Tang Leyan, because his family had a perfect example of someone who was all show and no substance.
But he couldn't resist, and couldn't help being deceived.
How wonderful it feels to be scammed!
It's like someone who has already eaten suddenly seeing a table full of delicious food, like a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, laid out before them. It's expensive but seems to be free. Even though they're not hungry, they still can't resist taking a bite.

"Seeking the Song of Chu".
Chu Ge Xun coolly announced his name. As the Tiger Might General, he had lowered himself to participate in this martial arts competition, and Chu Ge Xun's great name was already known throughout Shundu.
Whenever he introduced himself, he would always be greeted with flattering words such as "renowned," "I have long admired your name," "a young talent," and "a future with unlimited potential."
He felt it was necessary to make this seemingly inexperienced child understand his own limitations and quickly get downstairs to avoid falling and hurting his hands or arms, then crying and yelling for his parents.
But this time, unexpectedly, it was eerily quiet.
"Leyan".
The other party followed suit, introducing himself without being humble or arrogant, and then... did something that made Chu Gexun gasp in shock.
The seemingly ridiculous little fan that he had been holding in his hand suddenly snapped open with a "snap".
Le Yan flicked her wrist and began to fan herself.
"Is it hot?" Chu Ge couldn't help but ask: Respecting the elderly and caring for the young is a traditional virtue.
“We all need to calm down,” the gentleman said.
Chu Gexun couldn't resist the urge to roll his eyes, and he did just that, then coughed: "Shall we begin?"
“Please…” the modest young gentleman said.
The moment Chu Gexun doubted that he had drawn his sword, this guy would immediately burst into tears, regretting that he had come here.
Although he felt a pang of pity for her, Chu Gexun reluctantly drew the sword out of respect for the competition.
Xiao Junzi didn't cry, and the smile on his face didn't change at all.
Chu Ge Xun began to suspect that he was an idiot... People say that idiots often come from wealthy and powerful families... That seems to be true, but I guess I also come from a wealthy family...
Chu Ge Xun thought as he made a gesture to swing his sword forward.
Then he was completely stunned.
※※※※※
The moment he moved, the modest young gentleman also suddenly moved.
It not only moves, but it moves extremely fast.
It's not the kind of speed that can be seen with the naked eye, but rather...
Vanished into thin air like lightning.
When Chu Ge Xun heard a sinister laugh coming from behind him, only one thought crossed his mind: It's over. He's met his match.
※※※※※
The historian of the Shun Kingdom recorded: In the fourteenth year of the Great Shun Kingdom, at the fourteenth Martial Arts Tournament, which was personally attended by Emperor Shun, Tang Shaoxuan, "Night Emperor" Tang Leyan, dressed in red and carrying a fan, defeated General Huwei Chu Gexun in nine moves, astonishing the world. Later, General Chu said, "That kid deliberately let me have three moves, which is shameful," which is disrespectful to the emperor. This is just hearsay and not reliable.

In the October PK, please save your PK votes for Fei! (His eyes are filled with tears as he gazes affectionately at **-**)
Chapter Four: Gifts
Prophecy is neither something that exists nor something that doesn't exist.
Even if many people believe it, it's still only half true and half false.
Two years ago, the young and impetuous Chu Gexun said, "I just don't understand why the Emperor and Uncle Zhen are both the same. They treat the Martial Arts Competition like it's something special every year, but after the champion is selected, they both lose interest. Tell me, why is that?"
"So what do you mean?" the person next to him asked.
"I suspect they're waiting for someone," Chu Ge said mysteriously.
"oh?"
"We are waiting for the true martial arts champion who can bring glory to Shun to appear."
Chu Gexun spoke with great passion, as if he wanted to slap his chest and declare with overwhelming force: "The true martial arts champion is here, everyone come and pay homage!"
"Pfft..." The person next to him spat out a mouthful of tea.
※※※※※
"Song Xun?"
"What are you doing?" Chu Ge turned around and looked at the person.
"If you want to participate in the Martial Arts Champion Competition, you'd better avoid this one two years from now."
"Why?" Chu Gexun was greatly puzzled.
“Because…” A faint smile appeared on the man’s lips, “Because with your skills, you could easily win in any competition, except this time, you will definitely… lose.”
"Brother, when did you switch careers to become a charlatan?" Chu Gexun asked in surprise.
“Holding a fan, he came from the west, a celestial being from beyond the heavens… You can’t stop that person…” he said slowly.
“Coming from the west with a fan? A flying immortal…” Although he still didn’t quite understand, Chu Gexun paused for a moment, then said, “Ha… Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I’ve ever heard in my life.”
"Then keep laughing." The man stood up, swaying as he left like a willow in the wind.
※※※※※
Chu Ge stared at the sword on the ground, the sun making him feel hot all over, yet he was sweating profusely.
A soft, gentle voice reached his ears. It was the cunning little fox named Leyan. He said, "Ah, Brother Chu, please forgive me. I'm so sorry for knocking your sword away."
Sorry my foot! A loss is a loss. A real man can lose and win, he can bend and stretch!
I had insomnia last night and misjudged you today, failing to recognize that you were actually pretending to be weak while actually being strong. I'll let this go for now.
But I still feel uneasy.
As expected, they lost.
—Holding a fan, he comes from the west, a celestial being descending from the heavens; that person…you cannot stop him.
