At a quarter of a hour in the morning, the literary bells across the continent rang, and rays of holy light of different sizes rose into the sky. This was produced by the Confucian temples in all states.
As soon as the holy light came out, it suppressed the demon clan in each state. This also declared to them that the Holy Saint of Literature and Dao was sacred and solemn. These demons were prohibited from causing trouble, otherwise the consequences would be unbearable for them.
With a bang, the door of the examination hall was pushed open hard, and the watchmen from all the prefectural Confucian temples stood at the door, each holding the Four Treasures of Literature and Dao in their hands.
"The National College Entrance Examination Ranking Examination has ended, and the Literary and Dao Heavenly Rankings have been unveiled!"
Qi Qi's holy words spread quickly, so everyone in the state capital could hear the shouting.
Many people ran out of their homes and looked up at the list in the sky. They all had hope. They hoped that their families could go to high school!
In the hall, the students who took the exams walked out of the hall. They looked up at the sky one by one, praying in their hearts for their high school.
"Brother, the results are about to be released, let's..." Xu Fan suddenly stopped talking, because when he opened the door to Xu Que's room, there was no one...
"Brother Pingkang, what are you doing? The results will be announced soon!" Lu Zijian walked to the stairs and asked.
"Oh, here it comes!"
At this moment, countless students looked up at the sky, clenching their fists, waiting for the answer to be revealed on the Tianbang.
The holy light on the Heavenly List appeared, and the name of the first state was suddenly lit up: "Yuan Yuda, a student from Luzhou in Dayan, ranked 20th in the first class!"
Yuan Yuda, who was far away in Luzhou, cried with joy, and the students nearby danced for him.
On the sky list, as the name of the first state was lit up, it was followed by the second state and the third state: "Beimang Tiandu Prefecture student, Leer Tiger, ranked 20th in the first class Name. Yan Wujiu, a student from the ancient Xilou Kingdom of Luoyue State, ranked 20th in the first class..."
When the names of all the state capitals in the continent were lit up one by one, the names of the students above also appeared at the same time.
Xu Que, who was sitting on the eaves, said speechlessly: "I thought I started from the first place, but it turned out that I started directly from the last place. I was really disappointed..."
"In a state capital, being in the top twenty is already pretty good." Murong Yao said, "You have to know how many students are taking the National Examination."
Xu Que didn't say anything, just looked at the sky silently. He naturally knew how fierce the competition was, and he also understood that the students who made it onto the list were all really capable.
With the appearance of the twentieth number A, the nineteenth number A also began to appear slowly, and this time it was not a state in Dayan that appeared, but a state in Cangshan Kingdom.
"Students from so many states have to go to the capital of each country to take the palace examination. This is really a one-plank bridge thousands of miles away." Xu Que said with emotion.
"Yes." Murong Yao agreed, and then said with a smile: "However, you are not very lucky this year."
"How do you say that?" Xu Que looked at Murong Yao doubtfully.
"According to the information I know, many masters will participate in the Great Yan Palace Examination this year, and my brother is among them!"
Hearing Murong Yao's words, Xu Que touched his chin thoughtfully, and then asked: "Besides your brother, who else do you know?"
"That's a lot." Murong Yao showed a proud smile: "Because many people did not participate in the last palace examination, so..."
Before Murong Yao could finish speaking, Xu Que interrupted: "Why didn't many people participate in the last palace examination? What were they doing?"
"Four years ago, the capital changed. How could you forget this..." Murong Yao said.
After hearing about the changes in the capital, Xu Que finally came to his senses. Although he had not traveled through time at that time, he knew a lot of things from documents and elders.
"Why don't they participate?" Xu Que asked.
"Maybe it's to protect Mingzhe. After all, the incident involved too much, and your Xu family was also involved. Don't you know?" Murong Yao looked at Xu Que in confusion.
Xu Que was very embarrassed by Murong Yao. He didn't know if the original owner had this memory.
"Okay, let's continue talking about which well-known students have participated in the palace examination." Xu Que said as he watched the fifteenth name appear on the heavenly list.
Originally, Murong Yao had no intention of talking after being interrupted by Xu Que just now, but now that Xu Que asked, she still said: "As far as I know, there are no less than ten people in the capital, namely: Prime Minister Qu's family. Two young gentlemen from the Ministry of War, two young gentlemen from the Ministry of Rites, a young prince from the ancestral family, a young prince from the Ministry of Punishments, and, oh, there is also my brother!"
Hearing that these young masters were all going to take part in the palace examination, Xu Que was very surprised, but then he calmed down.
"Any more?"
Murong Yao recalled carefully: "Then there are those from various famous academies, but here, there is also a monk with the most famous reputation..."
"Can a monk also participate in the palace examination?" Xu Que was very surprised.
"I heard he returned to secular life. I don't know the details..."
Xu Que was speechless. He wanted to complain, but when he thought about it, there was no reason to complain. After all, he was no longer a monk.
Alas, well, maybe I am short-sighted, after all, how many people can resist this worldly prosperity...
Just as Xu Que was thinking about these things in his heart, the tenth name on the Heavenly List gradually appeared. A dozen names, more than twenty names... appeared in the eyes of the people again.
Just when the last name of the tenth place was displayed, a student below suddenly went crazy.
"I, I got it, I got it!"
The students next to him were startled by this student who passed the exam, but when they saw it, the Queen Zhou of Shanyu County also understood.
Zhou Ling is a student from Shanyu County, Nanfeng Prefecture, but he is not a member of the main lineage of the Zhou family. To be precise, he has nothing to do with the Zhou family at all, but because he is a collateral lineage of the Zhou family, his surname is Also changed to Zhou surname.
"Congratulations to Brother Zhou for high school." The students next to him gave a slight salute.
"Thank you." Zhou Ling returned the favor excitedly: "Thank you very much, everyone can call me Mi Ling from now on!"
Regarding Zhou Ling's identity, some students understood what was going on, and they did not look down on Zhou Ling. After all, being able to marry into a wife in this society is a skill, and it is better than those refugees who starve to death...
As this little episode ended, Xu Fan stood in the distance without saying anything. After all, this was a matter involving the Zhou family in Shanyu County, and he, a member of the Xu family, could not interfere.
Xu Que sat on the eaves and looked at his elder brother's expression. He smiled. He knew his elder brother's character very well.
As the name of the ninth student on the Tianban List appeared, another student below shouted.
"Look, it's Jie Mofan!"
This Jie Mofan is not simple. He was originally a student of Nanfeng City and a person of the same level as Nanfengzhou Shixiu. Because when Beimang attacked Nanfeng City, he took his family and fled to the riverside area. No one expected that, He actually came to take this exam, and he's still in high school...
At the same time, Xu Fan's brain was feeling dizzy, and the sweat on his palms already showed how nervous he was.
"It's over, I guess it will fall again this time..."
Before he could even utter the word "failed", Lu Zijian next to him seemed to have gone crazy.
"Brother Pingkang! You, you got it, you got it!"
Xu Fan didn't react and subconsciously looked up at the Tianbang...
When he saw that the top of the seventh place on the sky list was Xu Fan, a student from Fengzhou in Dayannan, seventh in the first class, his brain seemed to have shut down and went blank...
After a long time, a loud shout rang out: "I won, I passed the exam in high school!"
At this moment, Xu Fan was just like other high school candidates, both happy and crazy...
"Little brother, I'm in high school, where are you?" Xu Fan shouted in the crowd.
As for the congratulations from the students around him, he turned a deaf ear. He just wanted to find Xu Que and tell Xu Que the great news.
What Xu Fan didn't know was that his madness had long been seen by Xu Que. Even Xu Que didn't expect that his elder brother would be so crazy...
What Xu Fan and Xu Que don't know at this moment is that the eyes of the Beimang students around them are bursting with anger. They hate it, they hate Xu Que and Xu Fan, because so far in Nanfeng Prefecture, there are only two Beimang students who have passed the high school examination. …
