Ye Futian raised his head and looked at Ling Xiao's sarcastic face. He was as calm as ever.
"This is only a list of those who have passed. What are you so excited about?" Ye Futian asked calmly. He glanced at the people around him, who were all gloating.
"Haha." Ling Xiao laughed. He stared at Ye Futian and said, "Do you still think you can make it into the List of A? You've been dreaming for three years, and you're still so arrogant. Even now, you still haven't given up. You're still struggling. "
"You're laughing so arrogantly. If the results are different from what you imagined, won't you be embarrassed?" Ye Futian raised an eyebrow. He knew that Ling Xiao hated him, but there was no need to get so worked up. What did he hate?
"You won't give up until you see your own coffin. Let's just keep waiting," Ling Xiao said coldly. Ye Futian shook his head.
The lecturer in front of him was still busy sorting out the exam papers and making copies of the list. After a while, Qin Yi walked up with a list. She announced the seventy-two students who had made it into the top three. Ling Xiao's name was on the list. He looked at Ye Futian with arrogance, but he did not say anything to mock him. If he had to wait, then he would wait until the list was out. Then he would humiliate him.
Feng Qingxue was excited. Her name was not on the List of A, but she was confident that she would pass. So, her name was most likely on the List of B.
If she could perform well after the written exam, then her goal would be achieved.
"Feng Qingxue." The List of B began to be announced. The first name was Feng Qingxue. Her eyes lit up and she smiled. So, she had made it into the List of B.
"Yusheng." The lecturer continued to announce the names. Every name that was announced had some level of fame among the outer sect disciples of Qingzhou Academy.
"Murong Qiu." When the last name was announced, the lecturer put down the list in his hand.
Murong Qiu, who was sitting in his seat, suddenly paled. He did not look good at all.
The 36th place on the List of B might have been a great honor to others, but to him, not making it into the List of A was a failure.
Last time, he was ranked third in the First Division. This time, he was also aiming to challenge the arrogant girl. However, it was clear that he had failed once again. Furthermore, he had lost even more miserably this time.
The expressions of some of the important figures of the Murong Merchant Guild on the spectator stand were also rather unpleasant.
"Murong Qiu only got second place. He didn't even get a ranking." The leader said in a low voice. Only the top three had a specific ranking. The others didn't have a ranking.
The others were also confused, and they began to discuss among themselves. There were three places in the First Class, and the legendary girl and Yang Xiu should still be in the top two. So who was the one who pushed Murong Qiu into the second place?
It seemed that the more famous outer sect disciples were all in the First Two Rankings. They really couldn't think of anyone who had been left out.
"Who will amaze the world with a single brilliant feat this time?" Looking around at the crowd, everyone wanted to see who they had missed, but in the end, they couldn't think of anyone.
However, this had nothing to do with Ling Xiao anymore. He glanced at Ye Futian mockingly. Now that the dust had settled, Ye Futian still had the nerve to sit there calmly.
In front of them, the elders of Qingzhou Academy were holding the last three exam papers. There seemed to be some disagreement, and they were discussing something. It seemed like they were discussing the final results. Seeing this, Yang Xiu took a deep breath. Could he surpass Hua Jieyu this time?
He had already promised the Palace of Divination Arts that he would directly enter the Palace of Divination Arts next year. This was the last time he would participate in the Fall Quarter Examinations, which meant that it would be his only chance to surpass Hua Jieyu.
Finally, the elders of Qingzhou Academy seemed to have come to a decision. Someone on the side recorded it down, and one of the elders walked up and looked around at the students.
For a moment, the entire place was silent. Everyone was waiting for the final result to be announced.
"Yang Xiu, third in the First Class," the elder said the first name. After a moment of silence, the entire place burst into an uproar.
Yang Xiu, third in the First Class?
Yang Xiu, the genius who had always been inferior to Hua Jieyu, was also pushed out of the First Class like Murong Qiu?
"This is impossible." Yang Xiu, who was anxiously waiting for the results, seemed to have received a huge blow. He seemed to be in a daze. He muttered to himself, "This is impossible, this is impossible …"
He had always wanted to surpass Hua Jieyu, but this time, not only did he not surpass her, but he was pushed out of the First Class. It was hard to accept.
"Who is it?" Everyone became even more curious. Even the people in the spectator stands had sharp gazes as they stared at the teacher who was announcing the names of the top rankers.
"Second in the First Class, Hua Jieyu," the elder said again. His words were like thunder, exploding in everyone's hearts.
Hua Jieyu, who had been first in the Fall Quarter Examinations for three years in a row, was now second in the First Class?
Moreover, the person who defeated her was neither Yang Xiu nor Murong Qiu. Until now, no one could guess who the mysterious person was.
Even Hua Jieyu herself was a little surprised. She didn't know why, but she glanced at Ye Futian with a strange look in her eyes. Could it be …
Everyone's curiosity was at its peak. Who was it?
"Alright." Yu Sheng clenched his fists and looked excited. No one knew why he was like this, and no one knew why he was so excited. Only he knew. He was the only one who believed in and understood that person.
The elder looked at the crowd again. His eyes passed through the crowd and landed on a young man. There was surprise and surprise in his eyes.
He had been dormant in the academy for three years, and now he was going to surprise everyone?
"First place in the Fall Quarter Written Exam of Qingzhou Academy …" The elder paused for a second, then slowly uttered a name.
"Ye … Futian!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the noisy crowd suddenly went silent. It was as quiet as death.
The expressions on the faces of the students were very interesting. They had thought of all the possible candidates, but Ye Futian was the only one who did not appear in their minds.
A person who had given up for three years in a row and had not advanced in the Qi Condensation Plane was first in the Fall Quarter Examinations? Was this a joke?
The elders of Qingzhou Academy would not joke about the Fall Quarter Examinations. After the initial shock, the crowd burst into an even bigger uproar.
"Ye Futian, first in the First Class? I must be dreaming. "Some people thought they had heard wrong.
"Ye Futian?" Qin Yi was not far from the elder. She repeated the name in a low voice. She was in a daze. His name did not appear on the list. It was not because he had failed the written exam, but because he was on the List of First Class. But wasn't this a bit too dramatic?
Ling Xiao had thought that Ye Futian was going to be kicked out of Qingzhou Academy. He was about to gloat and humiliate Ye Futian, but the smile on his face froze. He stood up and stared in front of him. Ye Futian, first in the First Class? First in the written exam?
Feng Qingxue's jaw dropped. She looked at the elder who had announced the List of First Class in shock. Then she slowly turned to look at the young man.
At this time, Ye Futian was still sitting there quietly. His face was still wearing his usual faint smile. He seemed to be at ease. It was as if all of this to him was nothing to be excited or shocked about. It was as if this was how it should be … What a strong confidence.
He had been quiet for three years, just to surprise everyone today?
Hua Jieyu, who was sitting beside Ye Futian, looked at the young man beside her. Her record of first place in the written exam had been broken, but there was not much disappointment in her eyes. She did not look like Yang Xiu and Murong Qiu, who had a twisted expression on their faces. On the contrary, she did not seem to care. There was only curiosity and surprise in her eyes.
Her father had told her that Ye Futian's talent was not inferior to hers. She was not convinced. Today was the Fall Quarter Examinations, and she wanted to see what made Ye Futian so highly regarded by her father and why he was willing to accept him as a student.
During the written exam, Ye Futian had given her a surprise.
"There must be a mistake. This is impossible." Suddenly, someone shouted. Many people looked at the person in front of Ye Futian. It was Yang Xiu.
He had just gotten over the disappointment of being pushed to third place on the List of First Class. What awaited him was an even stronger blow. The person who had pushed him to first place in the written exam was the person he had been mocking not long ago. What did he mean by what he had just said? Wasn't he slapping himself in the face?
"Yang Xiu, do you have any questions?" asked the elder who announced the results.
Yang Xiu was stunned. He turned around and glared at Ye Futian coldly. "He sat next to Hua Jieyu. Plagiarism. He must have plagiarized Hua Jieyu's exam paper."
"Yes, he must have plagiarized." Ling Xiao seemed to have caught on to something. Many people's eyes lit up. It was as if they had found a breakthrough.
"Do you think that we, the examiners, are all blind?" The elder's cold words were like a bucket of cold water that doused everyone's hopes. Yes, their exam papers had not been written by just one examiner. Especially the three examiners' papers, they had been discussed and reviewed multiple times. If Ye Futian had plagiarized Hua Jieyu, how could he not be found out?
Ye Futian's fingers lightly tapped on the table. He had always been relaxed and natural. All doubts would be crushed in the face of the hard truth.
"Of course I believe in the examiners' abilities. However, everyone has their own preferences. I am still not convinced. I want to know why I am third in the written exam, and why Ye Futian is first." Yang Xiu seemed to have been greatly provoked. He continued to persist, as if he was determined to destroy Ye Futian's first place.
The elder looked at Yang Xiu with some disappointment. Was failure so hard for him to accept?
If he did not even have the ability to accept this, no matter how talented he was, his future would still be limited.
