Chapter 167 The Noble Young Master and the Bloodthirsty Demon Servant 48

Zijin nodded. Actually, he didn’t really like drinking blood. Compared to the blood of monsters, he preferred various human foods.

The reason why he sucks blood is that he can't control it. Whenever his body needs demonic energy, he will have the desire to suck blood. Normally, he will not be willing to eat blood even if you give it to him.

He had not been able to see clearly before, but after listening to Qingqing's explanation, he suddenly understood why he had been wanting to suck blood so much during this period.

He was probably about to become an adult, and now was the time of transition, so his body urgently needed a lot of energy. He had never known about this before, and coupled with all the hardships he had experienced, his body had lost a lot of energy, so he always had the desire to suck blood and absorb evil spirits.

But as long as he eats more things containing spiritual energy to replenish his body, he won't have these problems. After all, the corpses of those monsters have no other use for him except to replenish his monster power.

If you eat more, you may even be contaminated by them, making it easier for you to lose control of your evil nature. It can be said that there are only one benefit and a hundred disadvantages.

So if Zijin could not eat it, he would certainly be happier, as it was not like he didn't have meat to eat on a regular basis.

Not to mention the delicacies from land and sea every day, Mu Qing had never treated him badly. Today he ate chicken, tomorrow he ate sausages, and the day after tomorrow he ate grilled fish. Compared with these delicacies, the flesh and blood of the monster was not worth mentioning at all.

As for his bloodthirsty instinct, it actually has little effect on him. As long as he no longer lacks demonic power like before, Zi Jin can curb his instincts. Even if he is really greedy sometimes, he can eat some of the blood of his prey.

……

After talking about it, the relationship between Mu Qing and Zi Jin became closer. In addition to going to school, the two spent the whole day together. When Mu Qing was reading, Zi Jin would sit beside him and read the storybook, and occasionally take out paper and pen to draw a few pictures.

Although Zijin was not very proficient in poetry, his paintings were vivid and lifelike. Although different from the usual painting method, they looked unique and as if they were real.

Especially the various animals and plants, under his pen, they can't help but have a bit more spirit, as if they are about to jump out of the painting.

Mu Qing picked up the picture of an orange cat catching a butterfly that Zi Jin had just drawn and kept looking at it, his eyes full of praise and love.

"Zijin, your drawing is so good. It feels like the cat is about to jump over and catch a butterfly in the next second."

"They are just small things. If you like them, I will draw a few more for you." Zi Jin sat on the chair and looked at Mu Qing with a smile. There was something else in his eyes. Mu Qing's old face turned red and he turned his head away and ignored him.

Zijin chuckled, holding a brush in his hand and drawing on Mu Qing's body in mid-air, his eyes full of passion.

Mu Qing gave him a look of embarrassment and annoyance. Since they talked about the matter, Zi Jin seemed like a different person. He was no longer as shy and timid as before. Instead, he was like a hungry wolf, clinging to him all day long and couldn't be driven away.

Mu Qing had to study during the day and accompany him at night. She was so tired that she didn't have time to rest for 12 hours a day.

This little bastard even said he would take care of him and let him rest. Bah, if he believed it, he would be a fool.

Mu Qing glared at Zi Jin, but Zi Jin smiled, then reached out and grabbed Mu Qing's arm, holding him in his arms.

……

Hearing someone knocking on the door and calling him, Mu Qing pushed Zi Jin away, straightened his clothes, and walked out.

Seeing that it was a servant of the Mu family outside the door, Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and asked calmly.

"what happened?"

"Master Qing, the eldest master asked me to call you over."

"Is there something wrong?" Mu Qing was a little confused.

"I don't know about this, but the master and the others are here too." The servant shook his head, then thought of something and added.

Mu Qing nodded, glanced at the door behind him, then turned around and followed the servants out of the courtyard.

Seeing his uncle, aunt, cousin and others in the lobby, Mu Qing bowed and greeted them. After asking how they were, he stood up and looked at Mu Anzhi.

"Cousin, what do you want from me?"

Mu Anzhi looked at Mu Qing with a smile and repeated what they had just discussed.

"What? An exam?!" Mu Qing was stunned. It shouldn't be time for an exam yet, so why is there an exam now? What exam?

"Uncle, my cousin is taking the November examination now. It's not the Autumn Examination, nor the Spring Examination, and there is no special examination. What is the examination for?" Mu Qing's eyes were full of confusion. It had been less than two months since the Autumn Examination, so there should be no examination at all.

"It's an examination of the Imperial College. As long as you pass it, you can study in the Imperial College. When you come out three years later, you can directly enter the court without having to take the Spring Examination." Uncle Mu explained. Although Anzhi and the others are still relatively young, if they follow the traditional examination, it will take at least three years, and this is only under the condition that everything goes smoothly.

If they are not as skilled as others, it may take another six, nine or even more years.

But if they entered the Imperial College, it would save a lot of time, and when they came out they would be officials of the six ministries. Although the position was not high, it was enough for them.

"Well, the autumn exam is easy. I've passed it now, and I think you two will definitely pass it next year. But as for the spring exam, even if I'm given another three years, I don't have much confidence that I can get a good ranking.

Instead of fighting hard, it is better to try the Imperial Academy, which is also a shortcut reserved by the emperor for the children of noble families. "Mu Anzhi nodded and said as he sat aside.

Moreover, even if they could pass the Spring Examination and even enter the Palace Examination, based on the Mu family's status as a noble family, the Emperor would not send them to any important positions. They would most likely still be sent to the Six Ministries. Instead of this, it would be better for them to go to the Imperial College now.

After all, having their father as a member of the Mu family holding an important position in the court is enough.

The head and wife of the Mu family nodded silently, and then looked at Mu Lezhi and Mu Qing who were silent.

As the eldest son of the Mu family, Anzhi will definitely take over his father's position if there are no major problems in the future.

As for Le Zhi and A Qing, even though they have outstanding abilities, they will not be valued by the emperor in the capital. If they want to do something practical, they can only go to the local areas.

Fortunately, Ah Qing's family originally lived in Yue Qingcheng, and Le Zhi had been a heartless person since childhood and had no great desire for an official position, otherwise the head of the Mu family would probably be in a difficult position.

After all, even if he has two sons, he can only choose one, and the other one, no matter how capable he is, can only have a sinecure.

Mu Lezhi had no objection to taking the imperial examination or going to the Imperial College. He had no interest in these things in the first place, and he had understood this matter when he was very young, so he had no resistance.

Mu Qing naturally had no objection. If he wanted to take the imperial examination, he would have to stay in the capital for at least three years, and he might even have to stay there. But if he went to the Imperial Academy, he could apply to the emperor for a local position after three years, and then he could go back.

In comparison, it would be easier to go to the Imperial College, otherwise he would have to neglect Zijin in order to take the imperial examination. After all, the imperial examination requires real talent and knowledge, otherwise it would be useless even if he was smart.

Seeing that the three children all agreed, Uncle Mu and the others nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. In this case, it would be much easier. Anzhi and the others are now 15 or years old. Even the oldest Anzhi is not even yet, which is just the right age to go to the Imperial Academy to study.

Otherwise, when they get older, even if they want to give up the imperial examination and go to the Imperial College, Uncle Mu will not be able to ask them to do so.

Although the age requirement for the Imperial College was not that strict, most of the children of aristocratic families entered the College very early. If An Zhi and his friends were allowed to enter at the age of eighteen or nineteen and become classmates with boys who were only thirteen or fourteen years old, I'm afraid they would be too embarrassed to raise their heads.

"In that case, then you all should go back and prepare! Although the Imperial College examination is not very strict, you should at least leave a good impression on the teacher." The head of the Mu family nodded and said.

"Yes." Mu Anzhi and his brothers nodded.
