Even after the provincial examination, Qin Bai's life was no different. He mainly focused on cultivation, and the strength to break through had been freely released.
He specifically spent some time cultivating one of the paper swords, and as a result, there were some blood spots on it. It seemed that the paper sword could also be promoted to a blood sword.
Now he could control Huang Qiongjian flexibly in the guest room, but only within five meters. For this reason, he made a lot of noise, and the fat boss downstairs dared not speak out.
Of course, the talisman has not been left behind. Qin Bai has already started to practice the Jin Gucheng Armor Formation, and he should be able to master it in a short time.
Because he had unlocked many achievements during this period and his points had become abundant, he naturally wanted to strengthen the power of the Golden Hammer.
One morning a few days later, when the rooster crows, Ning Caichen got up early and went with Qin Bai to watch the results of the provincial examination.
He had been so worried recently that he hadn't had a good night's sleep. There were obvious dark circles on his face, and his big face made Qin Bai laugh.
The list of successful candidates will be released in front of the Gusu Urban and Rural Examination Institute. At this time, people have gathered here, and many students are among them. Their faces are either confident or nervous, and they all have different tastes.
The crowd was much more crowded than during the scientific examination, but after seeing the students, they would still separate a path to let them pass.
After all, there might be candidates among them who could be named to the gold list in the future, so it wouldn't be good if they were offended.
Of course, compared to the others, Qin Bai's intimidation was naturally not on the same level. He took Ning Caichen and stood at the edge of the crowd.
Passers-by rushed to clear the way for Qin Bai. Compared with the distance that other students could just pass by, his path was enough to pass cars and horses.
Qin Bai was used to it and walked in quickly. As long as he was not embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.
And this other person was obviously Ning Caichen. He covered his face with his sleeves and followed behind, but maybe his face was too big and he could only barely cover half of it.
There were already many students standing in front of the house. Although Qin Bai didn't know most of them, everyone seemed to have heard about him, and they were talking in low voices in groups.
Only Zhang Zizhi came up to say hello to the two of them. He had specially put on new clothes today and had his hair styled.
When Geng Yu saw Qin Bai nodding slightly, the latter looked a little confused. He knew him, so why should he be so sympathetic?
This time the results will only be released to determine the candidates from Gusu City. The overall rankings in the provincial examination will be announced in a few days. At that time, the number one, second and third place winners will be announced.
Less than half an hour later, only the sound of firecrackers was heard, and the crowd began to cheer. Two rows of red-clad government officials walked towards here beating gongs and drums.
The government servant carrying the gold medal walked in front of him. They separated from the crowd and went directly to the open space in front of the house.
The students present were a little excited for a while, and some even almost fainted.
Zhang Zizhi's dark face also had a slight blush. He subconsciously turned his head and took a look and found that Qin Bai was the only one standing quietly in the crowd, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
In fact, Qin Bai's heart was very complicated. He recalled his ambition to study more than ten years ago. If he was at that time, he would probably be in the same mood as these students.
Now it feels very normal. Regardless of whether he is successful or not, he plans to leave Gusu City.
The students gathered in front of the results and were extremely excited. Those who made the list were all ecstatic, while those who failed the list bowed their heads in despair. Many of them secretly wiped away tears and cried.
Geng Yu looked up from the end of the gold list and couldn't help feeling nervous.
When he found out Qin Bai's name at the end, he was even more surprised than he was if he failed.
However, when Geng Yu saw the other party's indifferent expression, he couldn't help but feel relieved. I'm afraid he just regarded his fame as dust. After various speculations, he almost bowed his head and bowed.
He then looked up and saw that the nineteenth person was a student named Ning Caichen. He had inquired before and seemed to be a good friend of Qin Bai.
Eighteenth, seventeenth...fifth, fourth, third...
However, when Geng Yu saw him in second place, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He had absolutely no problem with his performance, which could only mean that the opponent was better.
The name "Zhang Zizhi" was prominently written at the top of the list. This unknown student from a poor family suddenly rose up and became the head of the case in Gusu City.
Zhang Zizhi had a lot of influence among the students, and even Ning Caichen got a lot of credit.
But Geng Yu was aloof and arrogant, standing on the edge with Qin Bai.
"Brother Qin is planning to join the court as an official?"
"no."
Qin Bai glanced at him and thought to himself, who are you brothers? What the hell is that inexplicable admiration on your face? Maybe you have a penchant for philosophy.
After hearing the answer, Geng Yu secretly said that it was indeed the case, and he didn't say anything more, as if he recognized the other party's noble character.
At this time, there was a student who couldn't bear to lose his reputation and ruffled his hair as if he was mad.
Then he rushed in front of Qin Bai and grabbed the other person's clothes.
"Why!!!"
He pushed, but Qin Bai didn't move at all. Instead, he took several steps back.
The student looked at the other party's calm eyes, and his heart felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and he immediately calmed down.
But in an instant, his back was soaked with cold sweat. What madness had he gone out of his mind to provoke this murderous man?
The surrounding students retreated one after another, leaving an open space. The people watching the excitement were also looking forward to Qin Bai teaching him a lesson.
Ning Caichen rushed over as soon as he saw it. Qin Bai's hand had already been raised, and various scenes of brains and corpses immediately appeared in his mind.
But Qin Bai didn't react at all. He just glanced at the other party and ignored him.
I don't understand people's joys and sorrows, I just think they are noisy.
Seeing this, Ning Caichen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled away the student who was paralyzed with fear. Zhang Zizhi came to him with a smile and asked why he was so nervous.
Ning Caichen's eyes were empty. You have no idea what the consequences would be if you punched him just now. Not even a demon can stop you, let alone an ordinary person.
However, this episode also diluted Ning Caichen's joy at winning the exam.
In fact, Qin Bai's attention was all on the Lu Pan pen in his arms. When he got the last place on the gold list, the pen was like the air conditioner suddenly turned on to dehumidify, exuding a yin energy.
He took out Lu Pan's pen, and the original wooden pen holder turned white-gray, as if it were made of bone.
Just when Qin Bai was stunned, the big people in the crowd had been waiting for a long time, and they rushed forward with their servants.
Although they are competing to select the successful students as their son-in-law, it seems that it is no different from an open competition. This is to catch a son-in-law under the ranking.
