Time flies quickly in this bustling White Deer Garden, and before you know it, the day of the big exam has arrived.

  Outside Bailian Garden, the surging crowd grew larger and larger, apparently people from all over Tianxu Prefecture were rushing to watch this grand examination event.

  At the foot of Bailingshan Mountain, a sea of people packed the viewing platform, creating an electrifying atmosphere.

  In the front, there are some spacious and luxurious pavilions, which are prepared for the dignitaries from all over Tian Shu Prefecture.

  In a short while, the governor of Tianxu Prefecture, Shi Qing, and the old president of Nanfeng Academy, Wei Xiao, both made an appearance, attracting much attention.

  As the two with the highest status in Tian Shu County, they directly entered the central pavilion, and someone immediately presented them with fragrant tea, melons, and fruits.

  "Haha, Director Laos spirit is still as good as ever." Shifu said with a smile.

  The old principal of Weizhanchi, Pi Xaorou, said with a smile that was not a smile: "I heard that the Governor-General is not very satisfied with Nanfeng Academy being the number one academy in Tianxu County."

  "This is certainly a rumor." The Shifu Governor smiled and shook his head in denial.

  He immediately changed his tone and said, "This is the number one school in Tian Shu County, and its all about competing for power. No one can change that unless Nan Feng School is surpassed by another school."

  The old dean said lightly: "When our Nanyang Academy rose in Tianshu County, Governor Shi didnt even know which corner you were lurking in."

  These years, the governor has been in charge of Tianxuan County and has had many conflicts with the old principal, some of which even involved the reputation and interests of Nanfeng Academy. It is known that the old principal almost took the reputation of Nanfeng Academy as his lifeblood, and Governor Shi dared to hurt Nanfeng Academy in this regard, which is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.

  And every year, the Grand Summer Kings Court would conduct a performance evaluation of the provincial governors. As the old principal was in charge of the first academy in Tianxu County, he naturally had an important say, but given the grudges between them, how could the old principal possibly give a good evaluation? This led to the Provincial Governor struggling to get promoted all these years.

  As time accumulates, the grudges between them have also deepened. Now that they meet again, its only natural to engage in a war of words.

  Especially this year, if the governors performance appraisal still fails to reach a certain level, he will likely be transferred and assigned to a weaker prefecture than Tianshui Prefecture.

  This is also why Shī Kōng thought of every way to take down the signboard of Nán Fēng Academy, which was the number one academy in Tiān Shǔ Prefecture.

  The atmosphere in Zhongting was cold and condensed, while other places were extremely lively. The Song family, the Ti Fa family, the Bei family, and other prominent families of Tianxu County all made an appearance.

  The president of Jinlong Chamber of Commerce, Lyu, also came with a smile on his face. After all, in this big exam, his little niece was going to make a big show.

  In a pavilion, Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing also arrived. After all, as members of the Luolan Prefecture, they naturally had to pay attention to their own young masters performance in the imperial examination.

  Of course, its also because they are extremely close friends with Jiang Qinge, so when it comes to Li Luo, they all have a kind of feeling that treats him like a younger brother. Plus, Li Luo is handsome and his personality doesnt have the arrogance of the young master, although sometimes he can be a bit mischievous, but obviously still very likable.

  "Do you think the Lord of the Minor Prefecture can make it into the top ten this time?" Cai Wei leaned back elegantly in her chair, casually picking up a banana and peeling it open. Her sensual red lips opened and closed, and with a gentle bite, she broke off a piece of the fruit between her pearly white teeth.

  If there were men present at this scene, they would probably be flirted to the point of being set aflame with passion.

  Yan Lingqing tapped her jade finger on the table and couldnt help but say, "You fox spirit, can you tone it down a bit?"

  "There is no outsider."

  Cai Wei said with a hint of grievance, then she picked up a slice of melon from the fruit plate and handed it to Yan Lingqing, saying: "You eat more of this, nourish yourself."

  "Youre really pushing your luck now!"

  Yan Lingqin got angry, you look fierce just because of your appearance, and immediately stood up, directly pounced on Cai Wei, and started scratching her vigorously.

  Cai Wei was pinched until she trembled all over, and finally could only beg for mercy: "Spare me, I was wrong."

  That pitiful and delicate appearance, where is the calmness and rationality of Luolan Fus steward on usual days?

  Yan Lingqin snorted, then sat back down and said: "Li Luo should be at the Seventh Seals Xiangli level. Judging from his surface strength, it wont be easy for him to enter the top ten."

  However, if Lü Qinger from Nanfeng Academy can take the first place, then Nanfeng Academy will get an additional 15 quotas. Among these 15 quotas, its not difficult for Li Luo to get one.

  Cai Wei smiled lightly and said, "I think its not difficult for Shaofu to enter the top ten."

  Yan Lingqin looked at her in surprise, clearly unaware of where she got such great confidence.

  "Dont look at him being gentle and humble every day without any airs of a young master, but deep down hes still very proud. After all, hes the son of those two people, and also the one who has a marriage contract with Qinge... With his personality, he might not have much obsession with being the firstborn, but he probably wouldnt accept being brought into Shengxuan Academy either." Cai Wei said.

  "Of course, most importantly, intuitively, I always feel that this young master is not as simple as he appears on the surface."

  Yan Lingqin seemed to be lost in thought, but in fact, Li Luo sometimes did give people an inexplicable feeling. Although he had only just started his business not long ago, the things he had accomplished in this short month were by no means few.

  "I hope he can make it into the top ten with his own abilities and secure a spot, otherwise, someone like him who was brought in by association will feel embarrassed when he arrives at Holy Spirit Academy. Moreover, hes also the young master of the Luo Lan estate and Qinges fiancé... thinking about this makes me wonder if Li Luo going to Holy Spirit Academy is even a good thing." Yan Lingqing adjusted his silver-rimmed glasses, a hint of sympathy flashing across his calm face.

  Cai Wei also nodded slightly, she was also from the Great Xia Wang City and had a good understanding of the Shengxuan Xuefu. At the same time, she was also very clear about the reputation that Jiang Qinge had there, it was not an exaggeration to say that she was in the spotlight of all eyes.

  Li Luo is now hiding in Nanfeng City, which is somewhat better. Those waves cant blow over there, but once he goes to Shengxuan Xing Academy, hes likely to face the pressure brought by Jiang Qinges dazzling aura that makes people blind.

  If it were someone else with a weaker endurance, they probably wouldnt be able to hold on.

  As they spoke, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became lively. The two womens eyes met and then they saw that teams from various schools had entered at this moment.

  Their eyes swept across, and at a glance, they saw Li Luo in the Nanfeng Academy. After all, that head of silver-gray hair and his extremely handsome appearance were too recognizable.

  "Shaofu looks really good with his new hairstyle, and after changing the hair color, hes even more handsome." Cai Wei smiled and commented.

  Yan Lingqing said irritably: "Looks-obsessed, superficial."

  However, she did not deny that Li Luo, who inherited the excellent genes of his parents, was indeed flawless in appearance.

  Innumerable gazes focused, a figure clad in a starlight robe appeared on the high platform, with stars bursting forth silver radiance on the starlight robe.

  That is the mentor attire of the Sacred Star Academy. Apparently, the person who came is a supervisor sent by the Sacred Star Academy.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, students of Tianxu County, I am An Lie, the instructor of Shengxuan Xing Academy. This years academy exam will be ranked according to a point system." The instructor named An Lie looked like he was around thirty years old, and being able to become an instructor at Shengxuan Xing Academy at this age was also considered young and promising.

  As his voice fell, the leaders of each school took out a crystal card and distributed it to their respective students.

  Li Luo and others also received crystal cards. The crystal card was about the size of a palm, with the school emblem of each academy engraved on it, as well as their names.

  "When the big exam starts at that moment, all of you will enter two review checkpoints. Through these two checkpoints, you will get some basic points."

  "In these two assessment checkpoints, trainees are prohibited from fighting each other. Once they pass these two checkpoints, everything will become free-for-all, snatching crystal badges from others and taking away their points. This is the third layer of elimination, of course, between schools, its not possible to snatch points from each other."

  "Your destination is in the depths of the southwest direction of White Spirit Mountain, where there is an ancient city ruin called White Spirit Ruins. When you arrive, you will learn the final rules."

  As An Lies calm and unhurried voice fell, the expressions of all the students gradually became solemn, and the air seemed to be filled with tension.

  And after saying all the rules, An Lie looked up at the sky and immediately revealed a brilliant smile.

  "Idle chatter ends here, I hereby declare that the Grand Examination of the Academy officially begins."

  As soon as he finished speaking, the tense atmosphere in this space suddenly burst open, turning into a boiling air that spread out and covered the sky.

  The big exam has finally started.

  One update today, two updates tomorrow.
