"Prefectural magistrate, we are the examiners. We are marking the papers." Registrar Zhou coughed lightly.
"Tomorrow, the Notre-Dame will send someone to take away this book. Today, we have to study it carefully!" Magistrate Dong said.
As Magistrate Dong spoke, he spread out the four pages of the book and placed them on the table. He then concentrated on reading each word carefully.
Feng Yuan Jun and Registrar Zhou stood at the side and read carefully. The three of them read in the same way. They didn't just read and memorize, but imprinted everything into their minds.
Not only did they have to understand the contents of the book, they also had to remember the strokes of each word. This was because when a book reached a high level, each word contained the author's charm. The author's thoughts and words would resonate. Others could also resonate with the author by reading the book.
In the process of memorizing the book, the three examiners' talent was gradually depleted.
Registrar Zhou was a High Scholar, and his talent was the first to be depleted. Not long after, Feng Yuan Jun started to rest. Magistrate Dong was the last one to persevere.
"Come and take a look." Magistrate Dong said to the other High Scholars before walking over to Registrar Zhou and Feng Yuan Jun to rest.
Magistrate Dong sighed and said, "I used to think that Fang Yun was talented in poetry, but not in other aspects. After reading his book, I realized how terrifying this person is. Although his solution was ingenious, it was only a summary of the past. But when it came to discussing the future, each word was like a star shining in the sky. "
"What I am most moved by is his writing. A few months ago, I said that his writing had the style of a great scholar. But now, his calligraphy has reached the threshold of the first level, and I am only at the same level. "Registrar Zhou said.
Feng Yuan Jun nodded and said, "His writing and the meaning of the book are deeply integrated. Especially when he talked about the future, I felt the same as Prefectural Magistrate Dong. I felt as if I was in the middle of a starry sky. The stars represented the meaning of the Holy Path, and the black sky represented the meaning of the Holy Path. And Fang Yun, it was as if he could pluck the stars from the sky. "
"Indeed. We are High Scholars and Half-saint. If we go to the Holy Land, we won't be able to see through the writings of Half-saint. Fang Yun's writing is more important to us than the writings of Half-saint. This Fang Yun was really strange. How old was he? The article actually has the meaning of 'scattered all over the place'. This is really too scary. "
"Scattered all over the place? Now that you mention it, I realized it! Indeed. It was said that it was written by Half-saint after he flew to outer space and traveled through the starry sky. The words were written with stars. It made the writing as exquisite as a chess game. Every word represented a world. There was a world in every coin. Fang Yun is so young, but he seems to know the secrets of the starry sky. It's really amazing. "
"Perhaps, this is his talent. However, it was still too early to call them scattered all over the place. He probably doesn't understand the Scattered Stars Chessboard, but because he has some understanding of the orbit of the stars, he was unknowingly influenced, thus giving the layout of the essay the shadow of the Scattered Stars Chessboard. "
"That makes sense!"
Registrar Zhou smiled coldly and said, "Now that I think about it, that Inspector Geng wasn't stupid. He was just too unlucky. He had the support of Gyeongo, Wu Guo, and the Quasi-saint family. Even if he was discovered by Half-saint, he wouldn't be severely punished. However, he didn't think that Fang Yun would write this essay with a layout similar to the Scattered Stars Chessboard. The three Half-saint observed a total of one million students, not missing a single one. They must have been the first to discover Fang Yun's Literary Achievements Spread the World, and then immediately covered it up. Even we were fooled. "
"At that time, who would have thought that someone in the capital examination would spread the scriptures to the world? It was impossible to connect the shock of the academy with Fang Yun's Literary Achievements Spread the World. However, I suddenly feel like laughing. Think about it, Fang Yun had just written a few words and there was a strange phenomenon, but it was covered up by the Saints. He must have thought that something had happened. How do you think he's feeling now? "
The rest of the people laughed.
"The Saints have hidden the secrets of heaven. As long as this essay doesn't reach Notre-Dame, it won't increase Fang Yun's talent. I'm afraid that he still doesn't know how the scripture is written."
Registrar Zhou said, "I know Fang Yun too well. He has always been cautious. I'm afraid that he's still suspicious. He won't relax until the results are released tomorrow."
"What a pity. I really want to see his frightened face. This kid is better than us in every aspect. This is a rare opportunity. We can't miss it! Before the results are released tomorrow, we'll go out together. "
"It's a deal!"
While the three heartless examiners were discussing how to watch Fang Yun make a scene, the family banquet in the Fang residence had already ended. Fang Yun drank a lot today and didn't study at night. He lay in bed and let his imagination run wild.
"Sigh, there must be a problem with that scripture. If there isn't a problem, it should have appeared in my Starry Sky Palace of Literature. However, it hasn't appeared in my Starry Sky Palace of Literature. It seems like there really is a problem somewhere. "
As he was letting his imagination run wild, Fang Yun fell into a deep sleep.
The next day was the release of the results. Fang Shouye specially came. Scholar Qian and the others wanted to come as well, but were persuaded to leave by Zhao Hongzhuang. Zhao Hongzhuang also didn't come this morning. She had gone to Notre-Dame. She knew that Fang Yun wasn't feeling well and didn't want to see anyone.
At nine o 'clock in the morning, a group of people arrived at Wen Yuan Street. Just like every other time, there was a sea of people and it was extremely noisy.
Fang Yun held Yang Yuhuan in one hand and Nu Nu in the other as they walked towards the entrance of the Wen Yuan Street.
Fang Shouye followed beside them. If anyone dared to attack Fang Yun, he would definitely step in.
Scholar Pang followed from a distance. From time to time, he would glance at the people around Fang Yun. He was extremely vigilant, but on the surface, he didn't seem to care.
Before they reached the entrance of the Wen Yuan Street, Fang Yun was recognized. Everyone was still warm towards him, but many students who were waiting for the results to be released couldn't help but reveal looks of pity. They began to whisper amongst themselves.
"It's a pity. I heard that Fang Yun had a problem with his scripture yesterday and was humiliated by Shi Dehong and Tong Li."
"Everyone makes mistakes. You can't blame Fang Yun."
"The problem is that if Fang Yun doesn't get into the top ten, he won't be able to go up to Book Hill. That means he has lost and will destroy his own Wen Yuan Street. It's such a pity."
"But this kind of thing can't be said for sure. Maybe Fang Yun didn't have a problem."
"Sigh, as a citizen of Jade Sea, who doesn't want him to be better? But I heard that Shi Dehong and Tong Li had already celebrated in advance. "
Fang Yun silently walked forward. Although these people sympathized with him and didn't mock him because of this matter, he still felt a little stifled in his heart.
Yang Yuhuan held Fang Yun's hand tightly and leaned against him, hoping to ease his mood.
Nuu also felt Fang Yun's mood and stopped playing around. She silently accompanied him and occasionally licked Fang Yun's hand.
The entire Jade Sea City was paying attention to Fang Yun's bet on Book Hill and the students who participated in this year's examinations all knew about it. Thus, when Shi Dehong and Tong Li spread the news yesterday, all the students knew about it.
"Fang Yun, we believe in you! Don't get injured by those vile people! "
"Yes, we believe that you are talented!"
A few students who didn't want to see Fang Yun fail started to encourage Fang Yun. Some of them were extremely excited and didn't believe that Fang Yun wouldn't even be able to pass the Elementary Scholar examination.
Fang Yun could only force a smile and nod to thank these people.
The students tacitly made way for Fang Yun and the two of them quickly walked to the wall where the Golden Roll was posted.
This was the most crowded place in the entire Jade Sea Manor, but the people in the surroundings were extremely courteous to give Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan some space. This was the only way for the students of the Jade Sea Manor to express their gratitude.
"Brother Fang, I heard that your scripture writing is excellent. At least in Ming Province, the title of Jade Sea Manor's Maocai this year will definitely be yours!" A familiar voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Fang Yun turned to look at Tong Li with an icy cold gaze.
Tong Li continued loudly, "Congratulations Fang Maocai! If I'm not wrong, from today onwards, your new nickname will be Fang Wujia! Tsk tsk, this is unprecedented in the Ten Nations! The day you become the top scholar, you will definitely become the famous Fang Quanjia. "
The students at the side could tell that Tong Li was mocking Fang Yun, and one of them couldn't help but say angrily, "Tong Li, how can you be so shameless? You joined forces with Gyeongo to harm the people of Jingguo. Do you still have any conscience? "
Tong Li asked in surprise, "Brother, are you a spy sent by the demons and barbarians to sow discord between the human race? The ten nations used to compete with each other, but ever since the thousand-year truce with the demons and barbarians became invalid, the ten nations were not allowed to fight each other and could only occupy each other's territory through cultural competition. It can be said that the ten nations are united. All these years, Gyeongo has also sent troops to help Jingguo kill the demons and barbarians. Now that I've learned from Brother Shi, how can I be shameless? "
"You …" The student was so angry that his face turned red. Although Tong Li's words were sophistry, they were reasonable. Gyeongo and Jingguo used to have a feud, but that was decades ago. The Notre-Dame had been diluting the conflicts between the nations, and strived to unite the human race before the demons and barbarians invaded, so that they could exert more power.
Therefore, even though Tong Li and Shi Dehong frequently interacted, many high-ranking Jingguo people didn't dare to reprimand Tong Li, lest they be accused of sowing discord between the human race.
"Brother Fang, don't you think so? I, a Gyeongo person, rushed here from thousands of miles away just to cooperate with the scholars of your country to fight against the demons and barbarians, "Shi Dehong, the disciple of Lord Shi, said with a smile.
Fang Yun was in an extremely bad mood, and after looking at the two of them, he didn't say anything. The two of them were obviously luring him to speak, so that they could make him angry. When the list was released, they would deal a fatal blow.
At this moment, the front door of the Academy of Literature opened, and many bailiffs in black walked out. They separated the crowd and made a path to the notice post.
After a while, many officials walked out of the Academy of Literature.
Among the group of people in official robes, a young man in casual clothes stood out. He stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens, and there was a faint sense of desolation in his eyes. He didn't look like a young man at all.
Everyone was respectful to the young man, and only a few officials were extremely flattering. However, the young man didn't even look at those flattering officials.
Many people didn't know this person, but Shi Dehong looked happy. He glanced at Fang Yun and the others proudly, and walked over to the young man with his head held high.
Tong Li hurried over and asked, "Brother Shi, do you know this person? He has such an extraordinary aura, he must be at least in the Hanlin Academy, right? "
"Hanlin Academy? You're underestimating him. He became a Grand Scholar four years ago, one step before my teacher. "
"How can you compare him to Lord Shi? Don't let your teacher hear this, "Tong Li said kindly.
"Hahaha, I'm not comparing him to my teacher, but my teacher keeps saying that he's not as good as this person."
