Chapter 521 Ticket to Fame and Fortune

Guagua: [Once the fake young master rises to power, he won't take anyone in the Chu family seriously.]

Preventing his son from studying, disrupting his studies, ruining his son's reputation...

Once discovered, it will all be retaliation!

With the protection of her biological parents and her own innate talent, Chu Yan was able to thrive.

The fake young master then took him to Baiyun Academy, where he successfully became a student of Zheng's father.

From then on, Zheng Yiqi grew up with Chu Yan's family.

The two were as close as brothers.

Shen Zhao looked around, his expression one of wanting nothing more than to kill the other person.

She really couldn't tell how good their relationship used to be.

[Guagua, what happened between these two?]

Ever since the onlookers heard those two voices, their eyes have inexplicably lit up.

Nonsense, we're here to hear gossip!

Although we don't know which kind person has such amazing skills, it has certainly benefited them.

Some customers even called the waiter over immediately.

A plate of sunflower seeds was served, and they were in high spirits.

Zheng Yiqi's friend was worried that things would escalate, so he kept quietly trying to persuade her.

Enraged, Zheng Yiqi was not about to let things go so easily.

So Zheng Yiqi raised his voice and complained.

"Chu Yan family, I treated you like a brother in vain."

It's just an exam, even if it's about the number of disciples of a great Confucian scholar.

Attending that lecture would guarantee we pass the imperial examination and become scholars.

I scored one point higher than you, and you're going to report me to the headmaster for cheating.

Cheating on an exam—do you know how absurd that is?

Every word was incomprehensible, every sentence was filled with resentment and discontent.

Upon hearing this, the people behind also began to whisper among themselves.

"Look at the man opposite, dressed in white, looking very well-dressed."

How can someone be so jealous?

He was about to ruin his junior brother, who was only one point ahead.

They've lost their conscience; what good is passing the imperial examination at the lowest level if they've lost all conscience?

"Hmph, to be an official, one must first be a good person; to study, one must first enlighten one's mind."

...

Shen Zhao: [Guagua, tell me quickly.]

what happened?

Did Chu Yan's family really do that?

Zheng Yiqi's father taught at the academy.

He wouldn't do such a thing, would he?

Guagua: [The truth is this.]

Both Zheng Yiqi and Chu Yan were taught by Zheng's father.

The two have similar talents.

In most quizzes, the two often get the same score.

It's not that someone writes good policy essays or has a knack for poetry.

With these two around, it's virtually impossible for their peers to overshadow them.

The two of them had been studying diligently for several years.

Finally, this year, they said they would give it a try.

Just then, a great Confucian scholar from the capital was about to give a lecture.

That great scholar was formerly a member of the Six Schools and was extremely experienced in the imperial examinations.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to even meet him.

He hasn't taken on any disciples for a long time.

But this year, an extra lecture was suddenly added.

It is said that this was to provide the imperial court with more talented individuals.

There are specific explanations for each exam section.

Some people asserted that as long as scholars attended the lectures, getting a good ranking in the exam would be a piece of cake.

It was also rumored that the top three academies in each city would each have one spot available.

Baiyun Academy hasn't had any promising students in recent years.

The most outstanding were these two fellow disciples.

Coincidentally, the two fellow students were on their way to take the imperial examination for the title of Xiucai (a scholar who passed the

This is also an opportunity to attend lectures and learn other things.

Because I heard that anyone who attends the course can attend any level of the course.

After listening, Shen Zhao sighed.

This lecture seems to be the ticket to passing the exams and achieving academic success.

No wonder all the major academies are so keen on this spot.

So, does Baiyun Academy select students based on that exam you just mentioned?
