When everyone saw Yang Yuhuan's name, they were stunned for a moment. Then, they were incomparably envious. With a Half-saint personally teaching her and eating all kinds of divine items, Yang Yuhuan definitely had the qualifications to be a great scholar. Even if Yang Yuhuan followed Fang Yun's path and directly promoted from a scholar to a scholar before four saints in a year, no one would be surprised.
It was the first time for the human race to have two saints before a family. It was also the first time for the human race to have two saints before a husband and wife.
Some scholars sourly said that if there was a next life, they would definitely be women, and Half-saint women at that.
A few hours later, the peaceful and even sour atmosphere of the Ranking Discussion suddenly became lively.
It turned out that among the seventy-one scholars before a saint, there was a famous courtesan of Qi, Lu Mei 'er.
This Lu Mei 'er was not the kind of person who only sold her skills and not her body, nor was she a prostitute. Her beauty and other reputations were extremely resounding in the capital of Qi. Almost all the words used to describe prostitutes could be used to describe her. She had always been in contact with customers. She had been harmed and betrayed others' hearts. She had been infected with diseases and had an abortion.
After seeing Lu Mei 'er and learning about her, the ranking discussion immediately set off a wave of crusading frenzy.
Countless scholars petitioned to abolish Lu Mei 'er's qualification as a scholar before a saint and deprive her of her talent.
There were incomparably righteous scholars who listed all kinds of rules and laws to prove that even if a man did those things, he was not worthy of being a scholar.
There were people who had passed the examination after many years who were flustered and exasperated. They scolded that this kind of withered woman was not worthy of studying, let alone participating in the imperial examination. Letting this kind of person participate in the imperial examination was equivalent to infecting the entire human race with venereal disease.
There were more peaceful people who thought that this kind of woman was a disgrace to the human race. Even if she was not punished, she should not be allowed to become a scholar.
Many scholars could not hold back and began to make all kinds of malicious remarks.
"Lu Mei 'er, thank you! No matter if it's against a saint or for a saint, whether it's for men and women to take the same examination or not, whether it's for Gyeongo or Jingguo, whether it's for the miscellaneous family or the Fang family, no matter who it is, at this moment, everyone is united because of you! "
"I used to be disappointed in the human race because even when the demons and barbarians invaded, the human race was still fighting among themselves. However, you made me regain my hope for the human race! Thank you, Lu Mei 'er. "
"It's said that those who uphold justice start with the butchers, while those who betray justice are mostly scholars. That's right! Where was Lu Mei 'er's benefactor? Come out and say a few words, I haven't tasted the taste of a girl yet. "
"Sigh, I'm a step too late. From today onwards, Lu Mei 'er will earn at least a thousand taels a night, and that's in gold!"
"The person who is best at advertising in Saint Origin World has appeared. Lu Mei 'er, the business genius!"
…
Under the various articles on the rankings, it was filled with extremely humiliating words towards Lu Mei 'er.
At this moment, Lu Mei 'er became the public enemy of the entire world.
It seemed that if Lu Mei 'er was not cut into a thousand pieces, she would not be a human.
All the articles and replies on the discussion board exceeded ten million overnight, and no one objected.
On the second day, the various places announced the Scholar Rankings.
The capital of Qi Nation was packed with people.
When they saw Lu Mei 'er's name on the top of the country-level exam, all the scholars in front of Gyeongo Academy were furious.
"Against Lu Mei 'er becoming a scholar!"
"This is the greatest insult to the Qi Nation and even the human race!"
"Lu Mei 'er, get out of Qi!"
"Kill Lu Mei 'er!"
Following that, a large number of scholars from various places gathered in front of the Academy of Arts, protesting against Lu Mei 'er becoming a scholar.
The opposition was too great, and it even surpassed the opposition to the male and female examination previously.
Previously, when the male and female examination was held together, many scholars did not dare to do anything out of line due to the righteousness of the human race.
However, if the enemy was just a prostitute, then they had endless courage and were fearless.
Qi Nation, Wang Residence.
"Old Wang, how's your illness?"
"Bastard, seeing that I'm sick, you even changed the way you address me? You've really become arrogant! "
"What do you think of my Mysterious Ice Wine?"
"Hmm … I actually quite like the name Old Wang."
"There's also Heavenly Fire Rain Wine, which is a perfect match with the Mysterious Ice Wine."
"Okay, okay, okay, you can call me whatever you want in the future."
"I also have Myriad Peach Light Wine, after drinking it, you'll fall into any illusion you want."
"Hmm …"
"There's also the newly discovered Pure Black True Wine, the color is frightening, and the feeling of entering the throat is amazing. Sacred intent will be continuously sucked in by the wine, and then spurted out. This will definitely give you an unprecedented magical experience."
"You can go."
"Hmm?"
"Taking out four types of divine wine to tempt me, it's definitely something I can't do."
"Then you really don't want to drink these four types of wine?"
"No!"
"Okay, then I'll give it to someone else …"
"Wait, tell me what you want me to do first."
"Take Lu Mei 'er as your disciple in three days."
"You … you … four types are not enough!"
"Five types."
"Ten types!"
"Six types!"
"Deal!"
"Oh right, Old Wang, I want to hold a literary event, you can help me be a judge."
"Add three more types."
"At most one type, if you don't agree, I'll find another Half-saint."
"Deal!"
As night fell, the discussion board became more and more heated, and a large number of articles scolding Lu Mei 'er appeared.
Some Jingguo people noticed that the Zaji family and the Gyeongo family were trying to take advantage of the situation. They kept hinting that Lu Mei 'er was related to Fang Yun, and that Fang Yun had deliberately chosen her. They were just short of saying that Fang Yun and Lu Mei' er were having an affair.
The Jingguo people were worried, but they couldn't stand up for Lu Mei 'er at this time. It was too risky. They couldn't take the initiative to defend Fang Yun either. That would be forcing Fang Yun and Lu Mei 'er to be together.
All the Jingguo scholars could see that Fang Yun's situation was far worse than before. Even going against the Kong family was not as dangerous as this.
If Fang Yun didn't take away Lu Mei 'er's position as a scholar and let a prostitute become a scholar, he would probably be cursed for eternity.
If Fang Yun compromised with the scholars and took away Lu Mei 'er's position as a scholar, it would seem that he was accepting criticism in the short term, but in reality, he would lose his prestige. It would be difficult for him to control the Notre-Dame in the future.
This was Fang Yun's first time presiding over an imperial examination. As the chief examiner, if his position as a scholar was taken away by someone else, what prestige would he have?
The Jingguo people were worried.
Suddenly, a golden article appeared at the top of the discussion board.
Everyone saw that it was Fang Yun's article and hurriedly flipped through it. After reading it, they were confused. What was Fang Yun playing at?
It turned out that this wasn't an ordinary article. Fang Yun had used Half-saint's ability to set up his article as a debate article.
The topic of this debate article was "Should Lu Mei 'er become a scholar?"
Fang Yun had made it clear that everyone could see the replies after entering the article, but they couldn't reply directly.
If they wanted to reply, they had to use their spiritual sense to select the words "Participate in the debate" at the end of the article.
Once they chose to participate in the debate, they would be randomly given an identity. It could be "should" or "should not" be on the opposing side. This identity would be automatically displayed when they replied.
The replies to this article couldn't be nonsense. The content had to strictly respect the topic and reply according to the rules listed in the article.
Those who chose the "should" side had to prove that Lu Mei 'er should become a scholar.
Those who chose the "should not" side had to prove that Lu Mei 'er should not become a scholar.
If they simply proved or even went against their identity, they would be disqualified from replying. At the same time, they would be banned for ten years for disturbing the discussion board.
This discussion board debate was hosted by the five Half-saint incarnations, Wang Jinglong, Mi Fengdian, Feng Shu, Chen Qingzhi and Fang Yun.
