"And then?" Nangong Wan raised her eyebrows as if she was a spectator.

"Wan, with your current identity, you cannot become an official in the imperial court. Your career as a official is not open to a traitor's daughter. It is already difficult for you to even survive in the capital. You should leave quickly and find a place to live."

Nangong Wan raised her right index finger to scratch her nose, smiling politely and charmingly, "Thank you for your concern, senior. I appreciate your kindness. I have long forgotten your vow, but I will still take the exam. No matter the circumstances, I have to pass it, no?"

Mu Jiu was shocked by Nangong Wan's laugh for a moment and then coughed awkwardly.

Hearing that Mu Jiu had come to find Nangong Wan, Lin Ruofei ran over hurriedly with Xu Yujiao as if they were facing a great enemy. She grabbed Mu Jiu's arm to declare their ownership while at the same time, she didn't forget to bombard Nangong Wan with bombs.

"Nangong Wan, you, a mouse that crawled out of a stinky ditch, actually had the nerve to take the exam? You don't know your own limitations, but I'm still busy preparing for this year's Peach Blossom Meet. Right, the recruitment for the one hundred and fifty new students has been completed.

With that, Lin Ruofei pulled Mu Jiu and was about to leave.

As far as Nangong Wan knew, Lin Ruofei had entered the same year as Mu Jiu, and her grades were pretty good in all aspects.

For some reason, Mu Jiu didn't move, which made Lin Ruofei a bit embarrassed.

After hearing Mu Jiu's words just now, Nangong Wan was clear about his character. She didn't want to have anything to do with Mu Jiu anymore. Plus, with so many people watching, she didn't want to lose her title as a grudge.

Mu Jiu, there is no need for you to be ashamed of me in the future. I am only doing this exam for myself, I will decide what to do. It has nothing to do with you.

Nangong Wan looked at Mu Jiu with a sharp gaze. She was decisive and did not hesitate at all.

Mu Jiu took a deep breath and hesitated to speak.

Nangong Wan felt that all the men in the world were heartless, selfish and greedy.

Seeing that Nangong Wan didn't say anything more, Mu Jiu just let Lin Ruofei pull him out of the yard.

As she passed by Xu Yujiao, Lin Ruofei shot her a look. Xu Yujiao nodded with a complacent look on her face.

Nangong Wan turned a blind eye to their little actions. She walked up to Hee Qinglan and asked, "I wonder when I can take the exam?"

Hee Qinglan did not expect Nangong Wan to have yet to give up. After a brief moment of shock, she ridiculed, "Now that so many people are looking at you, are you sure you want to take the exam? If I lose, I'm afraid your perseverance will become a joke. "

"It doesn't matter. If everyone thought about success or failure before doing something, and if they were seen as a joke by others, there probably wouldn't be many people who would succeed in this world. Could Teacher He please tell me when I can take the exam? "

Hee Qinglan pretended not to be able to bear it any longer and sighed. Then, with a contemptuous laugh, she ordered the people behind her, "Have them bring all the examination tools from the four major departments over."

In front of everyone, it seemed like they were sure that Nangong Wan would make a fool of herself.

As expected, Hee Qinglan continued to speak to Nangong Wan, "For a sinner's daughter like you who might cheat, it's more reliable to let everyone take the exam together. It's almost dark now, and there's still the school's Peach Blossom Banquet to prepare. We're all busy, so we'll give you a total of two hours for the four major departments to come according to the rules of writing, counting, medicine, and martial arts. "

As soon as Hee Qinglan finished her sentence, the surroundings were once again filled with sighs.

The formal rules for the exam were: one subject for two hours, while Nangong Wan needed two hours to complete four subjects. This was simply impossible.

Xie Ying was so angry that she almost made a move again. She shouted, "How can you bully others by relying on your strength? How can you complete the four exams in two hours? You guys don't follow the rules!"

"I am the rule!" Hee Qinglan glared at Xie Ying, admitting that she was relying on her power to bully others.

Nangong Wan shook her head at Xie Ying, signalling for her not to say anything, and agreed immediately, "Okay, I can finish it in two hours, but I want to ask the doctor to count the papers together and hang them up so that everyone will know whether I cheated or not. When the time is up, I will start answering the questions, and the martial arts exam will be at the end."

Nangong Wan's words shocked everyone present, including Xu Yujiao and Hee Qinglan.

However, no one believed her words. After a moment, waves of ridiculing laughter followed, laughing at the fact that she dared to say such big words.

Xu Yujiao and Hee Qinglan were obviously very happy. The more Nangong Wan said, the happier they were. This meant that Nangong Wan was going to be even uglier.

Hee Qinglan couldn't wait to see Nangong Wan make a fool of herself. She immediately instructed the servants who had just finished setting up the examination hall to hang up the papers according to Nangong Wan's request.

As an outsider, Xie Ying was blocked from the exam grounds. The crowd was still discussing amongst themselves as they lit an incense stick in the air. Then, amidst everyone's laughter, Nangong Wan began to answer the questions.

Dipping the ink in the inkstone, Nangong Wan raised her head to take a look at the questions on the paper and quickly wrote them down. Without even thinking, she started writing like a god and as she lowered her head, rows of questions appeared on the white paper.

Nangong Wan's speed shocked everyone to the point that they stopped taunting her. The examination hall became extremely quiet. Everyone nervously looked at the pen in Nangong Wan's hand, as if it was their own test taker.

With such speed, even if the questions were not correct, it would still be impressive. In today's world, there were not many people who were able to do such a thing.

What they didn't know was that Nangong Wan was obviously not an ordinary person. The former Feng Yaohua had been able to become the female emperor not only because of luck, but also because of her ability.

As far as Feng Yaohua was concerned, this kind of test was not even worth mentioning.

Just as the incense was half burned, Nangong Wan put down the brush.

"The third round of examinations is over. The final round will now begin."

Nangong Wan's words brought everyone back to reality. Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Only then did they realize that they had already finished the test.

What? Finished? After recovering from the shock, everyone was even more shocked. The sounds of discussions and exclamations rang out again and again. The entire courtyard was bustling with noise and excitement.

Hee Qinglan's face turned livid. She walked forward and kept Nangong Wan's answers, then sent someone to invite the teacher who was reading the scripts to come over. She was prepared to show off her results in front of everyone.

So what if the answers are fast? Even if he did not answer the question correctly, he would still embarrass himself in front of everyone!

Nangong Wan didn't mind Hee Qinglan's actions at all as she stood to the side, quietly waiting for the teacher to finish his paper.

For Nangong Wan, reading the papers in front of everyone was the best. At the very least, her results couldn't be faked.
