Soon, the day of the exam arrived.
In the morning, there would be the martial arts exam, and in the afternoon, it would be the medicine exam.
When the time was up, Linlong and Mo Tian arrived at the Heavenly Fragrance Manor's inner courtyard.
Because Mo Huarong was the guardian, he couldn't enter the inner courtyard.
At this time, all the youths participating in the alchemy exam were gathered here. There were only about two hundred people in total.
There was still about ten minutes before the exam. Linlong and Mo Tian were bored to death as they sat on a long bench inside. The others were also gathered in groups of two or three.
The topic of discussion was what the exam would be.
At this time, there was a sudden uproar in the crowd. Everyone's eyes turned to look behind them.
Linlong followed their gazes and saw a young girl in a light red dress. Her features were exquisite, and she had an elegant demeanor. Her figure was graceful, and she was walking towards the crowd.
"Who is that? She's so pretty!"
"You don't know. That's Lian Chuan City's Murong Family's young miss, Murong Xue."
"Murong Xue? But why is she participating in the exam? With her talent, all the academies in the Southern Territory are fighting over her. If she wanted to join the Sky Evolution Academy, even if they didn't send eight palanquins to welcome her, she would still be admitted without having to take the exam. "
"Who knows? I'm afraid that the proud daughter of heaven just wants to experience the life of us mortals."
…
The surrounding people whispered to each other. With Linlong's strength, he could naturally understand what they were saying. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at Murong Xue.
She was indeed an outstanding beauty. Even when compared to beauties like Situ Feng and Lin Shiyin, she didn't pale in comparison.
When she saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her, Murong Xue smiled at them.
Many people wanted to go up and greet Murong Xue, but in the end, they gave up. The gap between them and her was too great. Even the arrogant Yang Zhe could only stare at Murong Xue's face and swallow a few times.
It was also at this time that a somewhat fat middle-aged man hurriedly came out with a few Sky Evolution Academy disciples to welcome them.
This middle-aged man was wearing the teacher's uniform of the Sky Evolution Academy, so everyone could tell that he was a teacher of the Sky Evolution Academy. It seemed that other than him, no one else was wearing such clothes, so he should be the chief examiner of the exam.
"Ah, Lady Murong, why are you here as well? If I knew that you would come, I would have made preparations beforehand." The middle-aged man smiled ingratiatingly at Murong Xue. His fawning expression made it seem as if he was about to kneel down and wipe Murong Xue's shoes.
Although the people around her did not receive the same treatment, no one envied Murong Xue. After all, her status and power were obvious.
"Even though Murong Xue is from the Murong clan, she's still just a normal person. She should be treated like everyone else. As for having a teacher greet her respectfully, Murong Xue doesn't dare. My father often tells me these things, and I've always kept them in mind. "Murong Xue smiled.
"Miss Murong, you are too humble. Alright, the examination is about to begin. Miss Murong, please go inside and rest." The middle-aged man then moved to the side and made an inviting gesture.
The people behind him hurriedly moved to the side as well.
Murong Xue shook her head. "Teacher, there's no need to be so polite. Murong Xue will be watching from outside. I'll go in when the examination begins."
"Miss Murong, there's tea prepared inside. You must be tired from the long journey. You should rest," the middle-aged man persisted.
"There's really no need. Please go inside and get ready," Murong Xue shook her head again.
"Miss Murong, please stay here for a while longer. I'll call you when the examination begins. If there's anything you don't like, you can tell the disciples at any time." When he saw that Murong Xue had no intention of going in, the middle-aged man could only helplessly give up on the idea.
"Mm." Murong Xue nodded gently.
Then, the middle-aged man walked back inside.
As for Murong Xue, she found a relatively empty spot and sat down.
So it turns out that fairies are just as easygoing as normal people. Looking at Murong Xue, some people couldn't help but think to themselves.
The difference between them and Murong Xue was far too great. Furthermore, they'd basically never seen Murong Xue before. So in their hearts, they subconsciously thought of Murong Xue as a fairy.
"Big Brother Lin, why don't we go over and strike up a conversation? I think you and Miss Murong Xue are a good match," Mo Tian whispered from beside Linlong.
In his eyes, Linlong's temperament was outstanding, and his actions were confident and at ease. Out of all the people here, he was the only one worthy of Murong Xue.
Furthermore, he had a strange feeling that if Linlong made a move, he would definitely be able to win Murong Xue's heart.
But Linlong shook his head. "Mo Tian, the examination is about to begin. Focus on the examination. Don't let your imagination run wild."
What do you mean by letting your imagination run wild? That's for Big Brother's own good. Mo Tian couldn't help but criticize him silently.
However, he didn't dare say anything.
Although Murong Xue's appearance had caught Linlong's attention, he didn't have any designs on her. Aside from the fact that his focus was on the Sky Evolution Academy, it was also because he already had many close female friends. Under these circumstances, unless it was absolutely necessary, he naturally wouldn't interact with her.
Not too long after, a disciple of the Sky Evolution Academy walked out, then loudly announced to the crowd, "The examination has officially begun. There are three batches in total. After one batch is finished, the next batch will move on. Now, the first batch will begin their examination. Those whose names I call out, please immediately enter the inner courtyard to take your examination … Murong Xue, Guo Lu, Hao Tian, Luo Datong …"
Murong Xue was the first to enter the inner courtyard. When the others heard their names, they hurriedly followed. Linlong and Mo Tian were actually in the first batch as well, so they followed suit.
When they entered, they saw that there were three rows of small tables. Each table had a small cauldron on top of it. There were roughly sixty or seventy of them, just enough to accommodate all of them.
Linlong's name was last, so he was the last to enter. When he entered, he was a little surprised. The only empty table was actually on Murong Xue's right.
Could it be that these people were afraid that Murong Xue's beauty would distract them during the examination? As he thought of this, Linlong shook his head slightly, then walked to the back of the table.
"Alright, we'll begin distributing the materials now," said a disciple of the Sky Evolution Academy.
With that, two disciples of the Sky Evolution Academy carried out bamboo baskets filled with materials and began to distribute them.
After distributing the materials, the young people present were all stunned. They realized that everyone's table only had one set of materials.
In other words, they only had one chance. If they made a mistake, they wouldn't be able to enter the Sky Evolution Academy.
If that was the case, things would be a little difficult.
