"Hold on, my lord. Let me pick them up." An official with a mustache hurriedly stooped to scoop up papers.

 

Gong Liang picked up two pieces, and then stopped to read one of them carefully.

 

"Manners make the man. Without etiquette, people won’t worship gods at festivals. Without etiquette, people won’t have respect for seniority, so the emperor should manage the country with the rules of etiquette.” Gong Liang was surprised, "Ordinary people don’t have this thought. Since ancient times, plenty of sages took it as a core idea. Unfortunately, time changed their heart and it was gradually forgotten. Today, I don’t expect I can still see this kind of speech. Whose paper is this? Why isn’t it one of the thirteen good papers? "

 

A civilian officer beside him was stunned and responded quickly, "I think this man's thought is too rebellious, so I put this paper at the bottom."

 

"Nonsense! We rule the country with etiquette and govern the court with rules of culture and education to absorb the essence and discard the dregs." Gong Liang's tone was serious. He scanned the paper in his hands and slowly said, "He not only gives a brilliant answer, but his calligraphy outdoes many sages in the court, with bold and vigorous strokes. He is a talent."

 

"Xiao Naihe? Why haven't I heard of this man?" Gong Liang thought carefully.

 

Other civilian officials were startled. They looked at each other and hurriedly explained, "I’ve heard of him. He was born in a declining aristocratic family and harassed the most talented girl. He has a bad personality, so we didn’t choose him."

 

"The rumour is incredible. Since he has such thoughts, I believe he is certainly not a lecher. The most gifted girl you mentioned temporarily resides in a brothel. She is also invited to add to the fun for the meeting." Gong Liang waved his hand, "Well, this paper is better than that of Wang Fangfei. It should be No.1."

 

"Please think again, my lord!"

 

"What are you doing trying to persuade me? Don’t you forget who the chief invigilator is today? ", glared Gong Liang.

 

 

The five civil officials were bribed by Wang Jingguo with ten thousand inferior crystal stone and were asked to remove Xiao Naihe's paper, but they did not expect Gong Liang still saw it.

 

They took the money but didn’t make it. They were immediately scared and didn’t dare to reply again when Murong Fengjian got angry.

 

Gong Liang, without hesitation, put Xiao Naihe's paper in first place and Wang Fangfei's paper in second place.

 

 

Yun Wei Xue and other members of Yun family all took part in the literary examination expect for Yun Yonghuai who just wanted to join the fun.

 

Yun Yonghuai was a chatterbox. It was about time to announce the result, and he yelled, "How do you feel, sister and Han-bo?"

 

"Good!" Yun Weixue only said one word and then closed her eyes to restrain her breath and refresh qi.

 

"Wei-xue really works hard. You even cultivate during the period of examination. No wonder you can become the third master who reaches the Sky Spirit Realm under eighteen years old in Dubhe Country." Yun Hanbo looked at Yun Weixue with an envious and crazy look.

 

"But before I left home, the patriarch asked us to guard against the Prime Minister, Gong Liang. He was said to object to family members of the capital city serving in the court. This time he is the chief invigilator. I’m afraid he may put obstacles in our way." Yun Gongsheng expressed his worry.

 

Yun Weixue opened her eyes and responded slowly, "Mom also told me the prime minister was unfriendly to aristocratic families, but I had a few conversations with him, and found he was not such a person, and that speech was also not true. Where did mom hear this story?"

 

Yun Gongsheng glanced at Yun Weixue and said, "I don't know. I’ve been told long time ago."

 

While they were talking, a comely girl walked over and chuckled, "Yun Weixue, people say you are the first genius in the capital city. I don't believe it. Today let the examination result tell us who the real first genius is."

 

Yun Weixue didn’t reply, while Yun Yonghuai couldn’t help but scoffed, "You really have a face, don’t you? You just have reached the highest level of the Earth Spirit Realm, but my sister has reached the Sky Spirit Realm, how could you compare with her? You don't know, her teacher is the immortal... "

 

"No, Yong-huai!" Yun Weixue suddenly stopped Yun Yonghuai.

 

"Immortal what?" Wang Fangfei heard it and asked.
