Fang Yun vaguely understood what Fang Shouye wanted to say.
Fang Shouye said, "He is well-informed in Jade Sea City. When he found out that you were going to transfer to Jade Sea Prefecture, he immediately went to find his grandfather's good friend, General Gan Luohang, and criticized you for being despicable and shameless. He said that you were afraid you wouldn't be able to get into the top ten in Jade Sea Prefecture."
"This …"
"Tong Li wasn't afraid that you would take the exam, but that you would steal his title. However, he wasn't the only one stirring up trouble. Many scholars with backgrounds were also criticizing you. You have to know that only the top ten can go to Book Hill. If you take up a spot, then the one who could have gotten into the top ten won't be able to go to Book Hill. It would be a huge loss. Therefore, everyone said that you were afraid you wouldn't be able to enter Book Hill in the Great Source Prefecture and could only come to Jade Sea City to fight for the top ten. "
Fang Yun knew the importance of being a scholar and Book Hill. Not to mention that he was just a commoner, even if he was a descendant of an aristocratic family, those people would do their best to get a spot on Book Hill.
Fang Yun sighed helplessly and said, "I didn't want to come at that time, but I had no choice. Mr Wang and Registrar Zhou asked Sir Li Wenying for instructions, and in the end, it was Sir Li who made the decision. I originally wanted to finish the capital examination before coming. "
"You didn't do anything wrong. You can only blame the traitors and the demons! Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to harm you like Liu Zicheng. However, you can't lose face. If he wants to compete with you openly, you can't lose. "Fang Shouye said.
"Sigh, we're all scholars. He won't deliberately suppress me because of this, right?" Fang Yun said helplessly.
Fang Shouye sneered and said, "You think too highly of him. I suspect that they will work together to force you to give up on the capital examination. "
Fang Yun said anxiously, "Why? I was assassinated because I killed a demon. Even if it wasn't for the human race, I was forced here because I did something righteous. Why can't I participate in the capital examination? If they can use this as an excuse to mess with me, who would dare to kill demons in the future? "
Fang Shouye revealed a strange expression and said, "According to the analysis of our military intelligence, your identity as the Elementary Scholar before the Saint was not exposed. The people of Shocking City Peak wanted to kill you, so there must be some inside story."
"How could this be? Since the traitorous literati didn't know that I was a Scholar before Saint, why did they send so many people to kill me? That's equivalent to five Grand Scholars and dozens of High Scholars. Even the prefectural army is no match for them. How did I offend them? "
Fang Shouye said helplessly, "Actually, you were harmed by the Saints."
"Ah? A Saint wants to harm me? "Fang Yun was even more puzzled.
"No. Do you still remember that your 'Epigraph of My Shack' was published in yesterday's' Holy Road '? "
"I remember." Fang Yun was puzzled.
"Recently, the demons have been rather active, and there have been varying degrees of demon calamity in various parts of the Ten Nations. The rebellious scholars have contributed greatly. The Saints wanted to give the demons and the rebellious literati a warning so that they wouldn't act rashly. Your 'Epigraph of My Shack' happens to be a Gut-Refining Script, which is suitable for attacking the rebellious literati's Gut-Refining Palace. Hence, the Saints transferred the talents of the various Sacred Temples and sent them into the 'Epigraph of My Shack' of the 'Holy Road'. Ordinary literati like us would benefit greatly from reading the 'Epigraph of My Shack', but when the rebellious literati read the 'Epigraph of My Shack' that had been changed by the Saints, they would definitely trigger the hidden power. "
Fang Shouye drank a mouthful of water and continued, "You can guess what happened next. The rebellious literati were unlucky. They couldn't kill the Saints, so they came to kill you. Unfortunately, we didn't know at that time and just thought that your identity as a Scholar before the Saint was exposed. After killing them, we didn't hide your identity, but it's too late now. The demons are even more determined to kill you. "
"Am I a scapegoat now?" Fang Yun asked in a deep voice.
"That's probably the case. However, your 'Epigraph of My Shack' has made a great contribution to the human race after all. Even if something happens this time, the Saints will definitely help you, "Fang Shouye said.
"What if I'm really unable to participate in the capital examination because of them?"
Fang Shouye immediately said, "If they use despicable means to harm you, I guarantee that they won't be able to participate in the imperial examination for the rest of their lives! Not to mention that Tong Li's grandfather is the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, even if he's the Minister of War, our Fang family won't be afraid! However, if they use legitimate means to obstruct you, it won't be good for me to do anything. Since you're already a Scholar before the Saint, there's a higher chance of you being in the top ten next year. Why must you participate in the capital examination this year? "
"If I'm one step slow, I'll always be slower. The Left Minister's faction and the Liu family have their eyes on me, and those rebellious literati will also have their eyes on me. If I can't pass the capital examination this year and climb the Book Hill, not only will I be able to increase my talent and strength, but if I encounter any unexpected situations, I'll definitely die. Uncle, tell me the truth, is Jade Sea City absolutely safe? "
Fang Shouye was stunned. After a moment of silence, he said, "If the demons and the rebellious literati kill you at all costs, and the Demon Saint takes action, no one will be able to stop them. However, you don't have to worry, you won't make them pay such a huge price to kill you. If the Demon Saint takes action to kill you, the sages of the ten countries will dare to move the Notre-Dame into the demon world and cause chaos in the demon world! Therefore, you're absolutely safe in Jade Sea City. "
Fang Yun was irritated and said, "Those rebellious literati are really detestable. Even without my < Epigraph of My Shack >, the sages have other ways to harm them. Tong Li and the others are equally detestable. They know that it's the demons who are forcing me, but they still do things that the demons are happy about. To put it bluntly, since < Epigraph of My Shack > has harmed so many rebellious literati, it's a great merit. Not to mention Jade Sea City's examination, even if the sages personally confer me the title of Scholar, I can accept it! "
"Sigh … Some things are just so helpless. We're not afraid of that Tong Li, but if they spread that you're here to snatch the position of Jade Sea City's Scholar, the students of Jade Sea City will definitely ostracize and isolate you. "
Fang Yun pondered for a long time and didn't say anything.
"Sigh, let's take one step at a time. Tomorrow, I'll accompany you to the Prefectural Literature Institute. I don't believe that they'll dare to obstruct you in front of me! "Fang Shouye said.
Fang Yundao said, "There's no need to trouble uncle. If they're willing to sit down and talk with me, everything can be discussed. Even if I don't take the exam this year, it's not a problem. But if they want to force me, then they've chosen the wrong person! I, Fang Yun, am not a soft persimmon that they can bully! "
"You really don't need me to go?" Fang Shouye asked.
"There's really no need! If I can't even solve this matter, how will I kill demons and barbarians in the future? "Fang Yundao said.
"That's good too! If they're in the wrong, you can make a big fuss. When the time comes and you drag Lord Li into this, let's see how they deal with it! They even dare to obstruct a meritorious official from killing demons, what else do they not dare to do! "Fang Shouye said.
Fang Yun said helplessly, "I originally wanted to go and take a look at the dragon boat competition, but I really don't want to go now. Right, where will the dragon boat competition be held? "
"There's a Jade Belt River between the North Vice City and the main city. Every year there's a dragon boat competition in the Jade Belt River. If you don't want to participate, then you can just stand by the river and watch. "Fang Shouye's mood was also not good.
"En."
The two of them continued to chat. Fang Shouye slowly introduced the people of Jade Sea City, the relationships between the various factions, the Dragons and Aquatic Demons, etc. Around ten at night, Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan finally left.
When he returned home, Fang Yun's mood was very bad. He constantly practiced calligraphy to calm himself down. After practicing for an hour, he finally calmed down and continued to study the Sacred Scriptures. Then as usual, he wrote a piece of scripture before going to bed.
The next day, around eight in the morning, one of Li Wenying's scholars came to bring Fang Yun to register for the next month's capital examination.
Fang Yun followed the scholar into the carriage and went to the Literature Institute.
They got off the carriage at the entrance of the Jade Sea Mansion's Literature Institute. The two of them entered the Literature Institute and went to the Register Institute. Not long after, Fang Yun saw a large door. The plaque above had the words' Register Institute 'written on it. However, there were more than ten people standing in front of the door. Among them, there were three scholars.
When the Elementary Scholar saw this, he frowned, but braced himself and walked in.
"Wait! This scholar, what's the name of the person behind you? "
The scholar lowered his head and did not speak.
Fang Yun had already guessed the identity of these people. He cupped his hands towards them and said with a smile, "Are you people from the Ministry of Justice or Notre-Dame's Punishment Hall? If you want to check my identity, please take out your token and I will answer truthfully. "
"Great Origin Prefecture accent! You are Fang Yun? "A scholar stepped forward and glared at Fang Yun.
"I am Fang Yun from Ji County." Fang Yun said calmly.
The scholar said, "Despicable! I thought you were an upright scholar. Who knew you would be so despicable and shameless! In order to enter Book Hill, you did not hesitate to use your authority to transfer students. I will never believe the words of others again. You are a bully! "
"We were really blind in the past!"
"Scram back to your Great Origin Prefecture. Our Jade Sea Mansion does not welcome you!"
"Scram back to the Great Origin Prefecture!"
Everyone shouted together, attracting the attention of the people not far away.
Fang Yun suppressed the anger in his heart and suddenly said loudly, "I have some things that I do not understand. I hope you can enlighten me! I did not come to Jade Sea City on my own accord. It was Lord Li Wenying who ordered me to come. If you doubt this order, why don't you look for Lord Li Wenying? "
"Who knows if you used despicable means!" Someone said.
Fang Yundao said, "Oh, so you do not know whether I used despicable means or not. You do not even know why Lord Li Wenying transferred me to Jade Sea City. In that case, you clearly do not have any evidence, but you use the banner of justice to slander me, Lord Li Wenying! You are the truly despicable ones! "
Everyone was speechless for a moment, especially those who were more timid. When they heard Li Wenying being slandered, they felt fear.
Fang Yun took a step forward and looked at the scholar who scolded him first, "Since you think that I snatched the position by force, then you think that the position of Elementary Scholar belongs to you? However, the position of Elementary Scholar does not belong to you. It is based on your own ability. How can you say that you snatched it by force? "
"You, why did you suddenly transfer students?"
