Then, all the students stared at Søren's score in disbelief.
Previously, King City College had exams every year, and without exception, Søren always came in last. As for the simplest basic theory exam, the full score was 200 points, and Søren had never scored more than 90 points.
Now, he had actually scored 172 points. That was way too awesome.
Seeing this score, Lan Ling could not help but be slightly surprised. This was about four points more than he expected. It seemed that he had guessed correctly on some of the questions.
Then, Lan Ling looked at the ranking. 172 points. Perhaps the score was not bad, but the ranking was not very good.
There were about 30 people in front of him, and he was ranked 38th.
However, this was completely within Lan Ling's expectations. The basic theory exam was the easiest for other students, but it was the most difficult for Lan Ling.
"That's amazing. Miss will definitely be happy. I'm also proud of you." Ye Jingyu came up and whispered in Lan Ling's ear, "Go home, have a good rest, and prepare for the second exam tomorrow."
Lan Ling nodded and turned to leave.
He got on the carriage and left King City College, returning to the Earl of Tianshui's residence.
However, just as he drove out of the noble students' avenue, a snow-white carriage stopped in front of him.
Lan Ling knew that it was Zhi Ning's carriage. She was going home after her marking work.
Sure enough, a moment later, he saw Zhi Ning come out like a moon surrounded by stars. Then, a little eunuch kneeled on the ground as a meat stool for her to step onto the carriage.
From the beginning to the end, Zhi Ning did not look at Lan Ling, even though his score was an unprecedented 172 points.
And Zhi Ning did not pay any attention to him, even though she was slightly surprised when she saw Søren's score.
After all, the basic theory exam was the easiest, and it was completely memorized. If he could not memorize it after a few months, then Søren was a real waste.
But there was no doubt that Søren's luck had come to an end. The second question would definitely expose Sauron's true colors.
Zhi Ning knew that Suo Ningbing was a talented woman. She must have helped Søren bet on many topics and wrote many essays for Søren to memorize.
However, the next exam's topic was unprecedentedly difficult. It was an unprecedented surprise, and it shocked everyone like never before.
It was absolutely impossible to bet on the right question.
Zhi Ning could almost guarantee that with such a difficult question, Søren was destined to fail miserably. It would be difficult even if he wanted to score 20 or 30 points.
If he wanted to obtain the Noble Warrior Medal, he could not fail in any of the examinations!
"Let's go," Zhi Ning said lightly.
Four snow-white horses galloped madly toward the Princess's Mansion. The eunuch at the side followed closely like a ghost. His feet did not touch the ground.
After returning to the Princess's Mansion, Zhi Ning alighted from the horse carriage and saw a white-haired eunuch standing at the door.
She was slightly taken aback. Then, she flashed a smile that she had never seen before. She quickened her steps and said, "Eunuch Li, why don't you come in? It's the middle of the night and you're getting older."
Zhi Ning's expression was always cold to everyone. It was as if she did not know how to smile. But now, she actually flashed a smile that she had never shown before. It did not seem fake, but sincere.
This person was Prince Zhi Li's trusted eunuch, Li Chenglian. She would be the future leader of the eunuchs in the Raging Wave Kingdom.
Then, the middle-aged eunuch who had been following behind Zhi Ning came forward and kowtowed respectfully. "Father, I kowtow to greet you."
The eunuch who had been following Zhi Ning was highly skilled in martial arts. He had never killed anyone in the royal city in more than one move. With him by Zhi Ning's side, she would definitely be safe.
At this moment, when he saw the eunuch with white hair and brows, he was like a mouse seeing a cat.
"Li Zhu, it's not appropriate for you to bow to me like this in front of Master," the eunuch Li Chenglian said lightly.
"It's appropriate. Why is it not appropriate?" Zhi Ning said coquettishly, "You've watched my brother and I grow up. If it weren't for you risking your life to protect us during the chaos, my brother and I would have been long dead. If it weren't for the rules of etiquette, I would want to bow to you when I see you. "
This vicious woman actually knew how to act coquettishly.
Li Chenglian's eyes were filled with tenderness. He almost couldn't help but reach out to touch her head. He actually did this when she was young.
Eunuchs did not have descendants. He brought up Zhi Li and Zhi Ning. He really doted on them as if they were his own grandchildren.
"How's Søren's result?" Li Chenglian asked. His tone was very calm. He did not use the words' playboy 'or' trash 'in front of Søren.
Zhi Ning said, "He's in the top 38. He's unexpectedly good. However, basic theory is the simplest subject. "
Li Chenglian nodded and said, "Young Master knows that the bet between the princess and Søren has caused a storm in the city. He thinks that the princess is a bit unwise."
"Yes, Zhi Ning knows her mistake." Zhi Ning lowered her head.
Li Chenglian said, "This should be Suo Ningbing's doing again. She's creating public opinion to pressure the royal family. She's very smart."
Zhi Ning's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of unwillingness. She just couldn't stand to hear that others were also very smart.
Li Chenglian continued, "Tianshui City is going to move ahead of time."
Zhi Ning was stunned. "Is it necessary? Those high-ranking warrior lords are very greedy. "
Li Chenglian said, "Young Master promised them that every high-ranking warrior lord who rebelled would be conferred the title of Baron, and their territory would be hereditary."
Zhi Ning was stunned. She didn't think that Zhi Li would actually agree to such an outrageous condition. However, she didn't have any doubts and bowed. "Yes."
A quarter of an hour later, dozens of black shadows dashed out from the princess's residence and Zhi Li's residence. They used the fastest speed to rush towards Tianshui City in the southeast.
…
After returning to the Earl's residence, Suo Ningbing immediately came to greet him. Her beautiful eyes looked at Lan Ling. Although she didn't ask, her big watery eyes seemed to be able to speak.
"172 points, ranked 38." Ye Jingyu said.
Suo Ningbing's beautiful eyes lit up. "Little brother, you're really amazing."
Ye Jingyu said, "This is just the beginning. The third and fourth exams will be when Søren shocks everyone. At that time, he will make everyone's eyeballs pop. "
Suo Ningbing said, "Gui Qinshao has always looked down on Søren and felt that he has no future prospects. Now that Søren is so outstanding, I want to let him see. "
Lan Ling changed the topic and said, "Sister, how many warriors of our Suo Family are there in Monarch City?"
Suo Ningbing said, "About a hundred. They have been guarding the Suo family for generations. Half of them used to be in the manor. Now that the manor has been given to Duke Fang Ting, these warriors are in the Earl's residence. Little brother, what's the matter? "
Lan Ling said, "Let them be prepared. It's not long before we leave Royal City."
Suo Ningbing was stunned. She nodded and said with a little excitement, "Okay, I can't wait to return to Tianshui City."
Lan Ling opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
"Sister has stewed ginseng soup for you. After you drink it, immediately rest and prepare for tomorrow's exam." Suo Ningbing said.
…
The next day, the bet between Søren and Zhi Ning had spread throughout Royal City.
Almost everyone was discussing this matter. They were all fantasizing about which part of Zhi Ning's body Søren would kiss if he won.
Countless men discussed excitedly. When they got excited, they couldn't help but feel like their bodies were on fire. They hurriedly went into the brothel to extinguish the fire.
In short, Søren was once again popular. Last time, it was the Nineteen Beauties of Royal City. This time, it was even more popular than the last time. Almost everyone knew about it.
Unfortunately, no one in Royal City was optimistic about Søren's chances. The Silver Casino was still open. The odds for Søren to win the Noble Warrior's Medal were still 1 to 10. However, other than the previous bet of 10,000 gold coins, there was almost no more than half a gold coin.
This was because no one in Royal City thought that Søren could pass the graduation exam, let alone enter the top 10 and win the Noble Warrior's Medal.
In the first exam, Søren scored high and entered the 38th place, changing his previous embarrassing situation of being last. However, this was something that had to be memorized. It was the easiest subject, wasn't it?
Today's second political theory exam was still held at night. It was the same exam hall and the same examiner as yesterday.
In the evening, Lan Ling once again rode a carriage into Royal City College. There was still half an hour before the exam began. He entered the exam hall and took his seat.
The content of the second political theory exam was simple. He just had to write a policy paper on a topic.
However, this was also the most difficult part. This was because a policy paper could test a person's breadth of mind, ability, and wisdom.
Whether a person had talent or not, it could be seen from a single article.
Moreover, the exam papers were read by ten examiners in turn. This eliminated the unfair influence of the examiner's personal views and preferences.
Lan Ling had thought of a lot of questions for the political theory exam. Furthermore, he had also prepared a number of essays on the topic, combining them with ancient Chinese classics.
The key now was to see if he could bet on the right topic.
Half an hour later, all the candidates were at the exam hall. The 20 examiners also entered the hall. Princess Zhi Ning and the grand cultivator from the Dragon Temple were still sitting in the center.
Looking at Søren's face, Zhi Ning thought that Søren was probably dreaming of betting on the right topic so that he could use the policy paper Suo Ningbing had prepared for him.
He was dreaming. The difficulty of the policy exam was unparalleled.
If Søren wanted to score high, the sun would rise in the west.
…
"Dong!" The bell rang, signaling the start of the second political theory exam. The 20 examiners began to hand out the papers.
The paper was simple. There was only one line of questions and two blank sheets of paper.
Lan Ling's heart skipped a beat when he saw the question. He looked at the paper again in disbelief.
And at this time, almost all the noble students let out startled cries. Without a doubt, they were also very surprised by this question.
Lan Ling had thought of many policy questions, but this was the first one he had thought of.
"How many years does the Raging Wave Kingdom have left? When will the kingdom fall? What will happen to the kingdom? "
This policy question had shocked everyone. It was unprecedentedly difficult and no one could guess it correctly.
