The procession finally arrived at the entrance of the mansion.
The music stopped, and the Kong family members got off the carriage.
Apart from Kong Qianqian, the current prime minister, Kong Fang, also came.
The Emperor's Equal, Wang Lin, was already standing on the steps, greeting Kong Fang.
"Haha, Prime Minister Kong, you look so energetic today. Is this what they mean when they say that people are in high spirits during happy events?"
Kong Fang replied cheerfully, "Indeed, there is indeed a joyous event today. Your Highness will be able to witness it with your own eyes later."
"Of course, we will witness it together."
Lin Xia happily watched Kong Qianqian get off the carriage. She had already completely treated Kong Qianqian as her daughter-in-law.
Kong Qianqian wore a moon-white gauze dress today. She was beautiful and elegant. As she walked up the steps, she complemented the handsome Lin Fan, who was standing beside Lin Xia. They were a perfect match.
The procession moved forward and entered the mansion's courtyard.
Lin Xia had originally planned to temporarily close the gates to give the people inside a relatively quiet environment, but Kong Fang stopped her. "There is no need to close the gates. So many people are here today to watch the ceremony. This wonderful show cannot be without an audience."
After saying that, he turned to the crowd in front of the gate and said, "Does everyone want to watch today's show?"
"Yes!"
"Then open the gates as wide as possible and let everyone in. His Majesty will be here soon."
The people cheered loudly and swarmed in.
Soon, the mansion's courtyard was filled to the brim, leaving only the central area.
Lin Xia frowned slightly. This Kong Fang was not treating himself as an outsider. After all, this was the mansion. He did not even ask for his Highness's opinion.
However, today was a joyous day, so Lin Xia could not say much. She forced a smile. If there were more people, then so be it. It was a good thing anyway, and she was not afraid of people watching.
The drum band was in place and began to play a cheerful tune.
After some tense preparations, the host stepped onto the stage.
The person in charge of hosting this time was the vice dean of Emerald Peak's Civil and Martial Arts Academy.
Lin Fan's graduation exam results had not been announced yet. After all, Lin Fan had taken out the corpse of a Star Realm beast. It should not have belonged to a beast in the enclosure, so some people questioned Lin Fan's results.
Lin Xia actually didn't believe that her son could kill a Star Realm Demonic Beast, so she secretly communicated with the Vice Principal, hoping that he could announce Lin Fan's results as valid. That way, her son could be considered to have successfully graduated.
Last night, Lin Xia had even given the vice president a lot of money, and the vice president had agreed. Furthermore, he was going to be the host for the day. This made Lin Xia feel relieved.
The vice president stepped onto the stage, but before he could say anything, more spectators arrived.
"Marshal Hu Zheng has arrived!"
Lin Xia hurriedly went to welcome them. The crowd parted as Hu Zheng brought his son, Hu Feng, and his iron-blooded personal guards in.
However, these people were armed with swords and sabers. They were dressed in martial attire and walked in with murderous intent.
Only Hu Feng, this youth, was still dressed normally.
Lin Xia couldn't help but frown, but she still greeted him out of courtesy. "Marshal Hu, you're late today. I'll have to punish you with a few drinks later."
"Hahaha, Your Highness, this Hu has indeed come a little late. It's just that His Majesty summoned me for a temporary mission. I still have to carry out the mission in a while, so I came dressed like this. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Lin Xia laughed dryly. Since it was a mission from His Majesty, she couldn't blame him.
Hu Zheng brought his personal guards to sit in the audience seats. The fully armed soldiers immediately made this engagement ceremony a lot more depressing. The cheerful atmosphere from before had somewhat disappeared.
The vice president coughed to attract everyone's attention.
"Everyone, today is a good day …"
The crowd stopped their chatter and turned their gazes to the stage.
The vice president stood in the middle. On his left was Lin Fan, who was wearing a black suit, and on his right was Kong Qianqian, who was wearing a white gauze dress.
"Our Da Hua was founded on martial prowess. Back then, His Majesty and the Emperor Equal to One fought in the north and south. Only with a full army did he conquer our Da Hua's vast territory …"
The crowd listened solemnly. However, they felt that the vice president's topic was a little heavy.
"More than a hundred years have passed. His Majesty is still as valiant as ever. However, the Emperor Equal to One is long gone. Today, the Wang Residence has already passed down its fourth generation."
"The one standing beside me is the fourth generation successor of the Wang Residence. He is the son of the Emperor Equal to One, Lin Fan. He is also the young prince, Lin Fan."
The crowd's gazes fell on Lin Fan. There were all kinds of expressions. Some were envious, and some were disdainful.
"Back then, His Majesty had promised that the Emperor Equal to One would continue for three generations. When it came to the fourth generation, if he wasn't proficient in both civil and martial arts, he wouldn't be able to continue inheriting the throne."
"There is a standard for civil and martial arts. Lin Fan is also a student of our Emerald Peak Civil and Martial Arts Academy. The standard for success is the results of the graduation exam. As everyone knows, the graduation exam ended ten days ago. So, how is our student Lin Fan's graduation result? Let me announce it to everyone … "
Lin Xia smiled slightly. His son would definitely pass smoothly.
"Oh! Also, our female lead today is the beautiful Miss Kong Qianqian. She is also a student of our academy. Let me announce her results first. "
The crowd's gazes fell on Kong Qianqian again.
"Kong Qianqian is the beloved daughter of the current Prime Minister. She is an outstanding student of our academy. I am very honored to announce that Kong Qianqian has obtained second place in the entire academy in this graduation exam! She is also the first Silver Level Spirit Reader in our academy in this batch of students! "
Wow ~ ~ ~!
There was a burst of exclamations from below. Many people didn't expect such a beautiful girl to have such outstanding results.
In this era where everyone was proud of cultivation, such a person would naturally be respected and welcomed.
There was a burst of enthusiastic applause. Some people even shouted out loud for their goddess Kong Qianqian.
Kong Qianqian also smiled and returned the greetings. She was natural and graceful.
At this moment, someone shouted loudly, "Vice Principal, since Kong Qianqian has obtained second place, then the first place must be the young prince Lin Fan. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of marrying Miss Kong? Isn't that right, everyone? "
"Yes!"
The crowd cheered like a tide.
Lin Xia was a little uneasy. He had only agreed with the Vice Principal to let Lin Fan graduate. Why did this have to happen? Wasn't this putting Lin Fan on the fire?
However, he couldn't say anything now. He only hoped that this segment would end quickly and get to the main topic.
The Vice Principal smiled, "Everyone is also very curious about who the first place is, right? Then I will announce it here …"
His gaze swept across the crowd. Suddenly, he said loudly, "The first place of this academy's graduation exam is the son of our current Grand Marshal, Hu Zheng, Hu Feng! He is also the first student in our academy to become a Wargod in this batch of students! "
Following the Vice Principal's announcement, Hu Feng stood up and cupped his fists to the people around him with a face full of smiles.
He had already advanced to the Wargod Realm yesterday. He was in high spirits at a young age.
This should have been something to celebrate, but the crowd was suddenly silent.
So … the first place wasn't Lin Fan.
Today's scene seemed a little strange.
