In the hall of Honglu Temple, the academic teachers who came to attend the final exam and had no duty to invigilate the exam were sitting casually and chatting.
"...So I said, the questions in this year's final exam are really too difficult."
Xue Che, the tall and burly Academy Secretary and Doctor of Physical Education, shook his head helplessly, "Listen to the banging sound of the table.
After the exam results come out, people from the Ministry of War will definitely come to the academy to cause trouble again.
Say we don’t recommend a life path to the Ministry of War. "
"Let them make trouble. No matter what year it is not like this, they feel that they are at a disadvantage. In the past, I never saw them protesting when the final exam was a strenuous exercise."
Dr. Sun Pu, a doctor of herbal medicine, said with a smile: "But this year's final exam is indeed a bit difficult. After all, the mountain chief chose the topic from Dongjun Tower's alienated materials.
By the way, it took me three and a half hours to unpack that wooden box. How long did it take you? "
Wei Shanjun, Doctor of Beasts, chuckled, "Then I'll hurry up, three hours and a quarter."
Qi Ju, a doctor of military science, shook his head and said: "Three hours. I was a little angry when I was solving it. I used a little strength and pinched off a corner. It was a trick."
"Hey, it's true. I was also angry when I solved it."
Dr. Sun Pu, a doctor of herbal medicine, laughed dumbly. He glanced at the palace secretary, Cui Yixian, a doctor of swordsmanship, and Chen Danqiu, a wine sacrificial wine man, who were silently playing chess not far away.
He scratched his cheek and wanted to ask but didn't dare.
"stop looking,"
Swordsmanship Department Cui Yixian said without raising his head: "Among our group, the fastest one is Brother Wen Yuan. He only took half a quarter of an hour."
"ah?"
All the doctors turned to look at Chao Wenyuan, a doctor of mathematics who was frowning and thinking in the corner. The latter felt the gaze, raised his head and smiled and replied: "I didn't use spiritual energy to inject it to show the wood grain, but used the great deduction technique to force the calculation. "
"Tsk, is the great deduction technique so powerful?"
Sun Pu smacked his lips, but then he heard Xi Yangyu say leisurely: "Brother Wenyuan is not in a hurry..."
The idle atmosphere in the hall condensed. The argument between Xi Yangyu and Chao Wenyuan just outside the Suzaku Gate was witnessed by all the doctors present.
"Brother Yang Yu, isn't it the same?"
Chao Wenyuan knew that what Xi Yangyu said about not being in a hurry was referring to Li Ang, who had no spiritual talent and might have an accident in the exam.
Without giving the other party a good look, he said directly: "The young master of Shangshu Zuopushe's family has not come out of the examination room yet.
Brother Yang Yu, don’t you go and take a look? "
"No need."
It was no secret that Xi Yangyu was a guest of many princes and ministers, but he still felt uncomfortable being pointed out like this by Chao Wenyuan in front of other colleagues.
"Since Brother Wen Yuan has used the great derivation technique to solve the wooden box, he should know how difficult it is."
Xi Yangyu said calmly: "Only the top students in terms of mind, spiritual veins, will, arithmetic, etc. can solve it - so this year's condition is to solve it as much as possible, not to solve it all.
It's a pity that the candidate didn't understand your kindness and insisted on taking part despite his own abilities..."
Tap tap tap.
Two footsteps sounded in the corridor, approaching from far away. Xi Yangyu's words were suddenly interrupted, and he stared directly at Li Ang and He Fanshuang who appeared outside the door with wide eyes.
And, the wooden curved sword hilt in their hands.
"Doctor, Si Ye, offering wine. Disciple Li Ang from Zhenzhou."
Li Ang cupped his hands towards the astonished academic doctors in the room, held up the wooden hilt of the sword with both hands, and handed it to Chen Danqiu, the wine-sacrifice.
"..."
Chen Danqiu glanced at the wooden sword hilts in the hands of Li Ang and He Fanshuang, and showed a rare smile. He waved his sleeves lightly, summoned the breeze, rolled up the wooden sword hilts, and swept them into the empty bamboo basket on the table.
Chen Danqiu nodded and said: "Very good, which one of you solved it first?"
"he."
He Fanshuang was the first to speak and pointed at Li Ang.
"Not bad."
Chen Danqiu praised twice and said: "You can go out now. Remember not to go out of the city in the afternoon and wait at home in the evening. Someone from the palace will come and invite you to the dinner at Liangyi Hall."
"yes."
Li Ang glanced at Chen Danqiu and Chao Wenyuan gratefully, then turned around and left the hall with He Fanshuang, leaving Honglu Temple.
Sun Pu, a doctor of herbal medicine, glanced at Chao Wenyuan, who was stunned and stood up by slamming the table, and Xi Yangyu, who was even more surprised and stunned, and almost couldn't help laughing.
After a moment, Chao Wenyuan came to his senses and chuckled: "Ha, Dr. Xi, it seems that your method of divination of spiritual veins may occasionally have accidents."
"..."
Xi Yangyu's face was gloomy and he said in a deep voice: "My calculations cannot be wrong."
He took a few steps forward, came to the table, picked up the wooden sword hilt from the bamboo basket, and glanced at it, "On these two wooden sword hilts, there are residual auras from the Qi Sensing Realm.
It is impossible to cultivate the Qi Sensing state by cutting off the sword hexagram with his skull.
Either he lied about his spiritual veins,
Either it's related to a different kind of person,
Either it's fraud or forgery.
No matter which one it is, it is related to the ranking of the top scholar in the final exam and the century-old reputation of the academy. You might as well let him come again and make a careful identification to prevent any accidents..."
"Yang Yu, Dan Qiu."
A lazy middle-aged male voice was heard from outside the house, and a middle-aged man wearing a robe and a sword, Shi Shiran, walked into the hall.
"Senior brother."
Many doctors in the hall stood up. The middle-aged man with a sword was named Shen Tuyu, who was worshiped by the imperial palace and a monk in the Zhuxiao Realm.
Although Shen Tuyu is now enshrined in the imperial palace and no longer a member of the academy, he was the senior of Chen Danqiu, Xi Yangyu and others when they were in the academy, so he is still treated as a senior when they meet.
"Brother, why are you here?"
Xi Yangyu asked with a frown. The emperor was required to take turns guarding the emperor as he served in the imperial palace, and he rarely left the imperial city.
"The babysitter is here."
Shen Tuyu waved his hand, casually picked up a full cup of tea from the table, drank it in one gulp, and said, "Where is the student from Jingzhou named Li Ang?
Your Majesty and the mountain chief asked me to ensure his safety today.
To prevent Mu Xiu from being destroyed by Lin Feng, Xiaoxiao, who is blind, will cause trouble for him.
Tsk tsk tsk, the mountain chief has never been so kind to me...
Hey, Yang Yu, why do you look so ugly? "
————
Suzaku Gate.
Li Ang and He Fanshuang stood under the imperial city wall, looking up at the arched city gate and the Suzaku Gate, which was as red as blood.
After stepping out of this door, are you a disciple of the Academy...
Countless days and nights of sweat and hard work, a lot of efforts, finally, the clouds opened and the moon shined.
Li Ang took a deep breath. Even he was inevitably a little excited at this moment.
"Together?"
Li Ang glanced at He Fanshuang and tilted his head towards the outside of the city gate.
He Fanshuang shook his head, "You first."
"good."
Li Ang did not refuse,
With a creaking sound, the Suzaku Gate was slowly opened by the Jinwu guards.
Li Ang felt the warm sunshine penetrating through the gaps in the city gate, caught the eyes of thousands of people, and took a step forward.
