Xia Wanli sneered without saying anything. Wang Yan let out a hoarse laugh from the side. "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but if an unaffiliated person wants to achieve something, it's still possible in the past. Yan Li isn't bad. You're well-known among the unaffiliated people, but it's impossible for you to enter the top three. "
"Unaffiliated people every time you open your mouth," Ji Hyun-woon cursed without any trace of politeness. "It's as if your Divine Armament Clan is that amazing. Wait until Xiao Wang leads the dragonriders through the Divine Armament Manor. Let's see if you can still say such words then!"
"Then the heir should be careful. The death of a dragonrider might cause the Overlord to die of heartache." Wang Yan said tit for tat. "Moreover, every member of my Divine Armament Clan can kill quite a few dragonriders. If we accidentally wipe out the dragonrider army, the Wei Imperial Territory might change owners!"
"You're just a trifling branch of the Wang family, yet you dare to be so arrogant in front of this heir?" Ji Hyun-woon's little head slowly rose to a height of arrogance. "Do you believe that I won't let you leave Tianjing?"
Wang Yan smiled insincerely. "I believe that Tianjing is a place with laws. It's not a place where Parting Hatred Palace can do whatever they want …"
At this point, he suddenly stopped, because the shadow behind him, which was cast by the setting sun, suddenly seemed to thicken a little, as if a new shadow had been superimposed on it.
"Speak, why aren't you continuing?" Huang Shaoyu's eyes turned and he laughed.
Wang Yan was already drenched in cold sweat. His expression gradually became grave. "What do you want to do in front of so many people?"
"I seem to have heard you say that the Wei Imperial Territory will change owners." A faint voice sounded by his ear. "Just because of this sentence, even if I cut off your head, the Divine Armament Manor wouldn't dare to let out a fart!"
Yan Li recognized Yuan Fulun's voice. He didn't think that Yuan Fulun would have the skill of hiding in someone else's shadow. It seemed like he had done some dangerous business in his early years.
This time, Wang Yan was speechless for a long time.
Huang Shaoyu crossed his arms and said in disdain, "If you don't have the ability, then don't act all high and mighty like others. Who are you trying to show off?"
Wang Dan looked over coldly.
"What?" Huang Shaoyu laughed coldly. "Do you still want to bear a grudge against me? Alright, take a good look at this Young Master's face and remember to offer three sticks of incense every day. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll die a violent death on the streets. "
He spoke with confidence, and in fact, he was very confident.
He was the young master of the Greenwood Forest. The resources he could mobilize were much more than a branch of the Divine Weapon Family.
Yan Li smiled and said, "Is three joss sticks enough? I'll give you double. Let him die on the street."
"Forget it. If I do that, what's the difference between me and this lackey who bullies others?" Huang Shaoyu chuckled.
"Is there a difference between the two of you?" Yan Li shrugged. "I can't tell."
"Of course there is!" Huang Shaoyu chuckled. "You see, I don't know how to call you Wanderer, right? Of course, it's not because I think highly of you that I don't call you that. Even a beggar has three years of luck, let alone you. If one day you become successful and climb up the branches of Confucian orthodoxy, won't I have to kneel down to you? "
"Then kneel." Yan Li couldn't help but laugh.
"Of course, I'll still be of some use if I kneel." Huang Shaoyu glanced at Wang Dan. "As for this dog, I'm afraid it'll be useless even if he licks your shoes."
Wang Dan's lungs were about to explode. He glared at the two with a livid face.
Xia Wanli looked at the people he hated biting each other. He was especially happy. However, he was still clear about which side he was on. He thought for a while and said, "Brother Wang is not only a member of the Divine Weapon Family, he is also a guest of His Royal Highness the Second Prince. Seniors of the Parting Hatred Palace, you should stop."
Ji Hyun-woon's face revealed a look of disgust. "A guest? Humph! Ji Wuyu, that idiot, has been selfish, hypocritical, and self-opinionated since he was a child. It would be strange if he would treat you as human beings. Wang Dan has the Divine Weapon Family behind him, while you, the young master of the Tianyi Sword Pavilion, are not even comparable to a dog. "
"What did you say?" Xia Wanli's face suddenly turned red. "His Royal Highness really treats me as a friend. You, you don't know, so don't talk nonsense!"
Ji Hyun-woon sneered. Before he could say anything, he suddenly found a commotion on the street. It turned out that the official who released the results had come out with the Imperial List. He stood in front of the notice wall and was clearing his throat while presenting the Imperial List to the public.
"The results are going to be released!" Xia Wanli seemed to have suddenly taken a pill of reassurance. He sneered and said, "I'm here to see if someone is qualified to step on this shit!"
Huang Shaoyu laughed gloatingly and said, "Yan Li, what on earth have you done? Even a dog looks down on you. You were an independent person just now, but now you've become someone."
Yan Li clenched his fists but did not say anything.
Ji Hyun-woon raised his fist and lightly punched his chest. "Pig, don't worry. Didn't you say that you did well in the exam?"
Yan Li shook his head and said, "I'm not worried."
Ji Hyun-woon said, "You look a little nervous."
"Am I?" Yan Li frowned and let out a breath of impure air. He relaxed his body. The feeling of his fate being in someone else's hands always made him feel uneasy.
"Maybe, but I have more important things to investigate. The top ten in the exam are qualified to enter the Royal Library, right? "He changed the topic.
"Yes, the top five can also enter the Tianyuan Plains to be enlightened," Ji Hyun-woon said.
The official cleared his throat and shouted, "In accordance with the will of the heavens, the emperor has decreed that the top ten in this year's Soaring Dragon Roll are as follows: Ju Yingshu from the Pure Yang Shrine, the winner of the Prime Leader Award …"
When this name was announced, there was a commotion among the crowd, but it was not too intense. It was obvious that many of the examinees already had an idea.
"Second place, Yu Qiuyu from the Heavenly Sword Peak of the Court Of Sword!"
When this name was announced, the commotion became stronger. They all knew that Yu Qiuyu was a genius swordsman, but they did not expect him to write such a good essay.
Yan Li was also slightly surprised that the usually quiet Yu Qiuyu was able to get second place in the essay. This was already a considerable standard.
"Third place, disciple of the Five Elements Court, Liu Xiangxiu."
When this name was announced, the crowd was in an uproar. They, who had seen the latest volume of the Book of Heavenly Secrets, did not buy it at all and started to make a ruckus.
The official was pushed left and right by the crowd, and he could not help but fly into a rage out of humiliation. He said, "This paper was personally reviewed by Master Huofeng, and the emperor personally reviewed it and finally decided on the rankings. Whoever dares to make a ruckus will be questioning Master Huofeng and the authority of the imperial court. When you are arrested and thrown into prison, don't blame me for not warning you!"
When this was said, the examinees immediately became listless. Even if they were given a hundred guts, they would not dare to challenge the Holy Dynasty and the Confucian orthodoxy at the same time.
Huang Shaoyu glanced at Liu Xiangxiu and sneered. "The disciples of the Five Elements Court play around with the spells of the five elements, so they can easily create 'farts'. They just need to say something and it will be enough. But it is this' fart 'that is ranked third. The five elements are really living together, rotating endlessly, and keeping the goodies within the family! "
Ji Hyun-woon could not help but laugh. "Fart? What a brilliant description."
Liu Xiangxiu's face turned green and red, but he quickly calmed down. "Don't be too happy just yet!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
"He left just like that?" Ji Hyun-woon was stunned. "Does he not care about your ranking?"
"Perhaps he already knew the results." Yan Li's eyes flickered, and his heart was shrouded in a layer of haze.
"Fourth place, His Royal Highness Ji Hyun-woon of Parting Hatred Palace," the official continued to shout.
"Only fourth place …" Ji Hyun-woon mumbled unhappily.
"Fourth place," Yu Qiuyu suddenly said.
"Yes, fourth place," Huang Shaoyu looked at Yan Li. "If you can't get into the top five, it is almost impossible for you to make it into the first list."
Yan Li said calmly, "Let's continue listening."
"Yes, let's continue listening. You will all feel despair," Xia Wanli shouted fearlessly.
"Shut up, Xiao Wang!" Ji Hyun-woon said fiercely.
Xia Wanli snorted, but he didn't dare to provoke him.
"Fifth place …" The official paused and frowned slightly. "Fifth place, Xia Wanli, the young master of Tianyi Sword Pavilion."
"Ha!" Xia Wanli immediately clapped his hands and laughed. "Did you see that? This is the difference in strength!"
Yan Li's heart gradually sank. If he couldn't get into the top three, the road ahead would be even more difficult. He might not even be able to make it out of Tianyi.
His chest was gradually filled with resentment. The anger that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time was suddenly ignited, burning his head and making him feel dizzy. He also felt that his True Qi was in chaos, and the injuries that had not fully recovered were still faintly aching.
While his mind was in chaos, his brain suddenly exploded. He felt that his Qi and blood were flowing against his meridians, and his injuries were relapsing. A mouthful of heart blood rushed to his throat.
This mouthful of blood must not be spat out.
With such a strong thought, he forcefully swallowed it down.
When his consciousness returned to the present world, he heard the official reading, "Tenth place, Independent Cultivator Yan Li."
"Hahaha, tenth place, hahahaha …" Only Xia Wanli's ear-piercing laughter could be heard on the roof. It was a hundred times more unpleasant than the howling of an owl.
Yan Li resisted the urge to tear him apart and turned to leave.
"Yan Li!" Ji Hyun-woon glared at Xia Wanli fiercely and hurriedly chased after him.
Huang Shaoyu and Yu Qiuyu looked at each other and hurriedly chased after him.
When the three of them returned to their residence, they saw Yan Li sitting in the courtyard, shrouded in an ominous aura.
The three of them looked at each other, and Huang Shaoyu's expression changed drastically. "Could it be that he's possessed by the devil?"
"It shouldn't be!" Ji Hyun-woon felt the power of death's resentment and saw the faint shadow of a curse mark on Yan Li's forehead. He worriedly shouted, "Lu Hanqing, Yuan Fushun, quickly come and see what's wrong with this pig head!"
Two experts from the Parting Hatred Palace suddenly appeared in the courtyard. After carefully observing for a while, Yuan Fushun frowned and said, "I've cultivated for so long, but I've never seen anything like this. According to the appearance, he seems to have been devoured by his true name. But since ancient times, there has never been a case of a true name killing its master, so I can't be sure. "
Lu Hanqing said in a muffled voice, "I think he just can't figure it out right now."
"Stay away from me!" Yan Li suddenly opened his eyes. Accompanied by a low roar, the surrounding area was filled with murderous intent.
