Chapter 86 | My Cheat System Made Me Changming Sect's Richest Disciple

Luo Qingyu had transmigrated again.

This time, she arrived directly in the mortal realm, transmigrating into the body of a beggar in Nancheng. All the wealth she had accumulated in the cultivation world instantly vanished into thin air; everything had to start from scratch.

However, Luo Qingyu was clever and possessed an extraordinary business mind. Before long, she established a firm foothold in the bustling imperial capital and gradually gathered all the information about this world.

The dynasty she currently resided in was called the Dayong Dynasty. For convenience in daily life and future development, Luo Qingyu chose to disguise herself as a man, preparing to take the imperial civil service examinations.

By a stroke of luck, she entered Chenxi Academy. Much to her surprise, the headmaster here was actually named Qin Fanfan.

This Headmaster Qin had once been the Imperial Preceptor to the current emperor, holding an extremely high status. Later, due to his advanced age, he resigned from his official court duties and voluntarily remained at the academy to teach and enjoy a peaceful retirement.

Initially, Luo Qingyu thought it was just a coincidence. There were many people in the world with the same name, so she didn't think much of it.

But no one expected that after enduring years of bitter study and successfully passing various levels of the imperial examinations, the day of the palace examination—where she would meet the emperor—would finally arrive.

When she raised her head to answer the emperor's question, the moment she clearly saw the face of the person on the dragon throne, her entire body froze.

The current emperor of the Dayong Dynasty was actually Ye Qiao!

Only at this moment did Luo Qingyu fully realize that everyone from the Five Sects had actually transmigrated to this mortal realm along with her!

Luo Qingyu instinctively looked toward the right side of the grand hall and immediately spotted a familiar figure.

It was none other than the Dao companion she had always held dear in her heart back in the cultivation world—Ye Qinghan.

At this moment, Ye Qinghan was no longer the cold Sect Master of the Wenjian Sect; he had already become the Prince Regent of the Dayong Dynasty, wielding immense power that dominated the court.

Holy crap, does transmigrating have to be this bizarre?

It was one thing for her junior sister to become the emperor of the Dayong Dynasty, but the way she looked at her suggested she didn't even recognize her.

Luo Qingyu couldn't help but wonder if she was being affected by the power of her Third Senior Brother's Mountains and Rivers Scroll again.

She raised her hand and pinched her arm hard.

Hiss—that hurts!

Only then did she completely confirm that everything before her eyes was real and not an illusion.

Where had everyone else transmigrated to? Luo Qingyu was filled with doubts. Just as she was about to secretly look around the hall, a smiling gaze locked firmly onto her.

It was Ye Qiao!

Hidden within those seemingly warm eyes was an inexplicable sense of danger that made her whole body tense up.

Luo Qingyu swallowed nervously and lowered her voice, speaking respectfully, “Your Majesty.”

Ye Qiao looked at her with a faint smile on her lips and said softly, “First place in slacking off at work.”

Upon hearing this familiar secret code, Luo Qingyu's pupils shrank, and she froze instantly.

She dazed for a few seconds before immediately completing the code: “I'm the best at slacking off in cultivation.”

In the grand hall, the scholars and civil and military officials present were all utterly bewildered, exchanging confused glances.

None of them understood the secret code the Emperor and the newly minted Huiyuan Luo had just exchanged. They were completely baffled, having no idea what the two were talking about.

To the side, the Prince Regent, Ye Qinghan, quietly clenched his fists. His gaze was locked tightly on Luo Qingyu, as if he were trying his best to confirm a suspicion, a torrent of complex emotions churning in his eyes.

Ye Qiao ignored the strange looks from the crowd, calmly picked up her imperial brush, and personally finalized the top three rankings of this palace examination.

She had already made plans in her heart; the top spot naturally had to be reserved for her own senior brother.

The list was finalized immediately: the new Zhuangyuan was Luo Qingyu.

The subsequent Bangyan and Tanhua were also quickly decided, and the palace examination process came to a swift close.

The traditional parade through the streets for the Zhuangyuan was skipped. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Luo Qingyu was respectfully led by Eunuch Mu straight to the imperial study.

As soon as Luo Qingyu was led into the imperial study, she saw a group of people standing inside, all of their eyes snapping to her at once.

Ye Qiao sat upright in the center chair, smiling as she waved her hand. “Hi, Fourth Senior Brother, welcome to my territory.”

Luo Qingyu looked closely and saw that the room was filled with familiar faces. Duan Hengdao, Ye Qinghan, Song Hansheng, Miaomiao, as well as her Senior Brother, Ming Xuan, Xue Yu, and the others—they were actually all here.

She felt as though her brain couldn't process this. Pointing at everyone in the room, she said, “Did you guys transmigrate as a group?”

To the side, Xue Yu sighed. “It's a long story.”

Luo Qingyu retorted without standing on ceremony, “Then make it short.”

She looked at the group of people before her, each dressed in luxurious clothes, living a highly comfortable life.

Recalling how she had struggled to survive, desperately earning money, and burying her head in studies to take the imperial exams, while they were here living in luxury, Luo Qingyu felt incredibly annoyed.

“If you don't explain this clearly, none of you are leaving today!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Qingyu blocked the doorway, staring at everyone in the room with a smile, making it clear she would not back down.

Ming Xuan gently swayed the folding fan in his hand and slowly spoke, “This matter has to be told from when we first transmigrated here.

“‘He’ told us that only by stabilizing the order of this mortal realm and keeping the world running normally would we have a chance to return to the cultivation world.

“So, the few of us discussed and divided the work. Someone became the emperor, others entered the court as officials, each performing their duties to gradually patch the loopholes in the world and maintain the stability of the entire Dayong Dynasty.”

Luo Qingyu was somewhat puzzled and asked, “Then why were you all willing to let Junior Sister be the emperor? Weren't you afraid she would accidentally break this world?”

Ming Xuan lowered his head and remained silent, silently retreating behind Xue Yu, finding it rather embarrassing to bring up.

Mu Zhongxi, who was eating nearby, had no choice but to step forward and explain.

“At first, no one agreed to let Ye Qiao be the emperor, and quite a few people were disgruntled. But among this group, Ye Qiao has the highest cultivation. No one could resist her decisions, so in the end, we all had to submit.”

Hearing this, the corner of Luo Qingyu's mouth twitched slightly. Thinking about it carefully, it did make sense.

“Alright, since everything is cleared up, I won't hold a grudge. Because of this stupid imperial exam, I haven't had a good night's sleep for days. I'm going to get some proper sleep first, and we can talk about everything tomorrow.”

Without waiting for Ye Qiao to speak, Luo Qingyu turned around, pushed the door open, and walked out.

Just as Luo Qingyu walked out of the palace gates and was about to take a carriage back to her residence, Ye Qinghan quickly caught up from behind.

Luo Qingyu crossed her arms, looking at Ye Qinghan inside the carriage, and said with a smile, “The dignified Prince Regent squeezing into the same carriage as me, a newly appointed Zhuangyuan. If word of this gets out tomorrow, it's bound to cause a lot of gossip.”

Ye Qinghan immediately reached out and tightly grabbed her hand, his eyes serious and persistent as he said softly, “I don't care, A-Yu.”

Luo Qingyu raised her eyebrows, leaning in slightly to whisper in his ear with a playful tone, “Ice-Face, but we aren't Dao companions anymore.”

“Not Dao companions anymore?”

Hearing this, Ye Qinghan's pupils shrank suddenly, and panic instantly surged in his heart.

He stared blankly at the smiling, incredibly alluring Luo Qingyu before him. His mind couldn't help but recall how she had repeatedly teased and flirted with him back in the cultivation world, a myriad of emotions instantly flooding his heart.

In the next second, Ye Qinghan tightened his grip, firmly holding her hand. With a serious and resolute expression, he said earnestly, word by word, “No, you are mine.”

Luo Qingyu chuckled upon hearing this, deliberately raising her eyes to look at him, her tone carrying a hint of mischief. “Oh? Really? But right now, I'm technically a man.”

Ye Qinghan's ears instantly turned red. His gaze fell upon Luo Qingyu's soft, pink lips. No longer able to restrain the feelings in his heart, he leaned forward slightly and kissed her deeply.

“Mmh... Ye Qing... han.”

“You...”

“...”

After the kiss, Ye Qinghan looked at her flushed face and the slight redness at the corners of her eyes. He raised his hand to gently wipe away a tear that had slipped from her eye, his voice deep and stubborn. “If we don't try, how will we know?”

Both embarrassed and annoyed, Luo Qingyu immediately kicked him lightly. Her ears were flushed red as she spoke in exasperation, “Go away! It's broad daylight, and we're still in a carriage!”
