Hearing this voice, everyone stopped talking and focused their attention on the gate of the Shun Tian Manor.
Two people walked out from the gate, each holding an Imperial Roll. One of them hung the Imperial Roll on the notice wall, then cleared his throat and shouted, "The second round of the Rising Dragon Roll, the ranking of the Test of the Limits is out. As usual, those behind the top ten can look at the roll. Now, I will announce the top ten winners. "
Those who didn't think they could make it to the top ten naturally rushed over to see if their names were on the list. Naturally, some were happy and some were sad, some were happy and some were sad.
Ji Hyun-woon quickly glanced at the list and didn't find Yan Li's name. Only then did he listen carefully.
The official read to himself, "The Leader of the Test of the Limits: Yan Li."
Ji Hyun-woon almost cheered, but he remembered to be reserved and only said two words, "Not bad."
"That's it!" Huang Shaoyu clapped his hands. "The Leader of the Test has always been the leader. With a Leader, it will be much easier to get into the top three."
Yu Qiuyu nodded in agreement.
"You pig head, you're pretty good." Ji Hyun-woon grinned.
"Just a little good." Yan Li wasn't so optimistic.
"The second place of the Test of the Limits: Yu Qiuyu." The official continued to read.
"Good job, Qiuyu!" Huang Shaoyu was very excited when he heard this. He patted Yu Qiuyu heavily and said, "You've brought honor to all of us from the Woods Union!"
Yu Qiuyu said expressionlessly, "I'm not a member of the Greenwood people!"
"So what? Who doesn't know you're my father's adopted son? Hahahaha …" Huang Shaoyu laughed with his hands on his hips.
"This idiot." Ji Hyun-woon rolled his eyes.
"The third place of the Test of the Limits: Ju Yingshu." The official continued to read.
When this voice rang out, there were instantly people cheering. They were all examinees who supported Ju Yingshu, and each of them was flaunting their prowess in front of the examinees who supported Yan Li.
According to the inference, Yan Li would only be able to become the top scholar if he ranked seventh in the verification of the book. Now that Ju Yingshu was judged to be ranked third, it meant that Yan Li could only be ranked second.
"Even if you're not the top scorer, it's not bad to be ranked second," Ji Hyun-woon said.
Yan Li was noncommittal. His intuition told him that things were not that simple.
His intuition was confirmed in the next moment.
"Fourth place in the verification of the limits, Liu Xiangxiu." After the official finished reading, he deliberately raised his head and swept a glance at the examinee's reaction.
The people who were either cheering or dejected were now petrified.
"Isn't Liu Xiangxiu dead?" After a while, Huang Shaoyu couldn't help but shout, "How did you come up with the list? It's ridiculous!"
"Don't be noisy!" The official said in a deep voice, "This is the result of the negotiation between the holy dynasty and Confucian orthodoxy. It's not up to you to interfere!"
"You're negotiating to deal with an unaffiliated examinee, aren't you?" Ji Hyun-woon said angrily.
The official's face darkened. When he turned around and saw that it was Ji Hyun-woon, his expression softened a little, and he said, "I'll let Young Master Wei know that this is the decision of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and it is completely in line with the rules and regulations of the examination."
"How is it in line?" Ji Hyun-woon angrily pointed at the official's nose and questioned him.
Yu Qiuyu rarely spoke, "There have been cases in the past where the examinee died and the subsequent examinees were automatically filled in."
"It's undeniable that there are cases." The official naturally didn't dare to offend the Court Of Sword, so he patiently explained, "But it's different this time. Once someone is filled in, there will be a huge change in the ranking, which is unfair to some people. What's more, this was deliberately caused by someone. It's a very bad thing. It's already a rare act of mercy that the imperial court didn't pursue his crimes. "
Ji Hyun-woon wanted to say more, but he suddenly felt his hand being grabbed and pulled back. Seeing that it was Yan Li, he frowned, "Do you know that once you admit to this ranking, you won't be able to enter the top three?"
"I know," Yan Li said.
"If you know, you still …"
Before Ji Hyun-woon could finish, he was interrupted by Yan Li, "It's already happened, there's no point in saying so much!"
"You!" Ji Hyun-woon angrily flung his hand away, "If you don't fight for your own fate, how can you call yourself a man? Don't blame others for looking down on you, because even you look down on yourself! "
With that, he left angrily.
Yan Li turned back, but didn't catch him. His hand hung in the air for a moment, and then he silently put it down.
"Hey, hey, hey, why did they make trouble …" Huang Shaoyu glanced at Yan Li, then looked at Ji Hyun-woon, not knowing who to comfort. In the end, he stamped his feet, "What's going on! Qiuyu, you look after him, I'll go see what that little heir is doing! "
The official grinned and continued to read, "The fifth place of the End Verification, Ji Hyun-woon."
Yan Li was no longer in the mood to listen to the following rankings. Even if he didn't use his brain to think, he knew that this was another trick made by Ji Wuyu and his group. A dead person said that the ranking was ranked, it was simply pointing a deer at a horse.
With authority in the hands of the other party, it was not a big deal to point a deer at a horse.
After all, he only had the Soul Sword Peak behind him, not the entire Immortal World.
As mentioned earlier, it was in his nature to not be bullied by others. The anger that had gradually subsided after the death of Liu Xiangxiu and the other two came back at him with unprecedented momentum.
He looked calm on the outside, but inside, he was like a volcano that had erupted.
"This year's Soaring Dragon List, Ju Yingshu, the top scorer!"
By the time Yan Li came back to his senses, another official had already pasted up the Soaring Dragon List. Of course, as usual, it was still the last forty.
Huang Shaoyu was ranked 37th.
The official was already announcing the top ten, and the first was the top scorer.
There were cheers in the field, but the person involved did not seem to show up.
"This year's Soaring Dragon List, the top scorer, Yu Qiuyu!"
Yu Qiuyu was second on both lists, so it was expected that he would be the top scorer.
"This year's Soaring Dragon List, the third flower, Liu Xiangxiu!"
According to Liu Xiangxiu's ranking, he was third on both lists, so he could indeed be the third flower. However, he was the first to be the third flower, and this would definitely be a topic of discussion. Nobody knew what was wrong with the Sacred Dynasty.
All the candidates looked at Yan Li. There was disdain, contempt, and jealousy, but most of them were sympathy and pity.
The fourth was Ji Hyun-woon, and the fifth was Yan Li. However, the fifth place was meaningless to him.
Ji Wuyu had said that if he did not enter the list, his result would be invalid. It did not matter if he was fifth or fiftieth. Anyway, he would not be able to get special treatment.
However, something worse happened. After the list was announced, a large group of people from the Eagle Magistrate's Office rushed over, led by Lone Eagle. Behind him, Li Yong was staring at Yan Li with a malicious look.
"Yan Li, I am now arresting you for colluding with the Greenwood Gang and killing the entire Jian Clan!"
Lone Eagle raised his hand expressionlessly. "Catch him!"
Yu Qiuyu frowned and was about to unsheathe his sword.
"Yu Jianzi, I advise you not to move." Lone Eagle narrowed his eyes slightly.
Yu Qiuyu only felt a copious amount of pressure pressing down on his head, rendering him unable to move at all.
Seeing Yan Li being taken away by the people from the Eagle Magistrate's Office, he was secretly anxious. After thinking about it, there was only one person who could save Yan Li.
…
When Ji Hyun-woon returned to the residence, he realized that Yan Li did not chase after him. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He sat on the chair in the living room with a sullen face and did not say a word for a long time.
The two followers looked at each other. Lu Hanqing shrugged indifferently and said, "Master Xiao Wang, as the saying goes, adversity can best show a person's character. At least this Yan Li is brave enough to face the truth. It is already good enough that he did not collapse on the spot."
Yuan Fuzhang nodded and said meaningfully, "At this time, what a man needs the most is support and comfort."
"He is the one who did not live up to expectations!" Ji Hyun-woon said angrily.
"Now that things have come to this, it is useless to say anything more." Yuan Fuzhang said, "In my opinion, his calmness is extraordinary. However, based on my many years of experience in reading people, he should be trying his best to suppress himself.
Ji Hyun-woon thought about it and said, "You two go to a place immediately."
"Where?" Yuan Fuzhang asked.
"The Dual Instruments Bureau." Ji Hyun-woon said.
"For what?" Yuan Fuzhang asked.
"Let the people of the Dual Instruments Bureau change the verdict." Ji Hyun-woon said calmly.
"This …" Yuan Fuzhang and Lu Hanqing looked at each other. "The Emperor has already reviewed the verdict. How can we change it?"
"Grasp the key points of the dead list." Ji Hyun-woon said.
"They have sufficient reasons. I am afraid that even the Court Of Sword cannot interfere in this matter." Yuan Fuzhang said carefully.
Ji Hyun-woon said to himself, "If necessary, we can use force!"
"The dead list is unprecedented. If they do not change the verdict, then …" He said with a solemn expression, "I will take their lives!"
The two followers were stunned for a moment. Then, they suddenly knelt down on one knee and said sincerely, "Your will is the direction of our swords!"
Ji Hyun-woon could never have imagined that his unreasonable decision would completely subdue two experts.
How could he have imagined that the current him already had some of the demeanor of the Hegemon?
"Old Hei, let's go to work." Yuan Fuzhang stood up and walked out.
Lu Hanqing sighed. "My true love has just left me. Can't you just let me rest for a moment?" Although he said that, his footsteps were even bigger than Yuan Fuzhang's.
Huang Shaoyu walked in and cupped his fists with a smile. "Master Xiao Wang is very courageous."
"Hmph!" Ji Hyun-woon raised his head arrogantly. "What are you doing here? Do you think Xiao Wang needs a little thief like you to worry about? What a joke. "
"If I didn't follow, how would I know that Yan Li is so important to Master Xiao Wang?" Huang Shaoyu grinned.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ji Hyun-woon glared at him angrily. "Do you think I won't tear your mouth apart?"
Huang Shaoyu was about to speak when Yu Qiuyu walked in hurriedly. "Yan Li was captured by Lone Eagle!"
"That lackey!" Ji Hyun-woon stood up abruptly.
