"The Sixth Princess has arrived!"

With a loud shout from outside, the hall instantly quieted down.

The students who had failed to make it on the list made way for her and knelt on the ground to greet the Sixth Princess, Xuanyuan Fei.

Everyone in the hall got up and kneeled down, even the extremely tall Liu Tinglan.

"We pay our respects to the Sixth Princess!"

As Xuanyuan Fei walked in, the crowd's cheers rang out once again.

Xuanyuan Fei stopped right in the middle of the hall. She looked at the four teachers who were kneeling on both sides of the pedestal, but did not even dare to lift their heads.

"The competition outside is not over yet. You guys are already setting up the Peach Blossom Meet inside. What are the rules?"

Xuanyuan Fei's words silenced everyone.

A freshman raised his head after kowtowing and said in a flattering manner, "Reporting to the princess, the exam is already over. The people outside are just some idiots who aren't even going to admit defeat. They're not worth mentioning."

"Is that so? If you are unwilling to give up this opportunity, then you are an idiot. Then, how can you be considered as a smart person? "

The student choked and mumbled to himself for a while before saying, "I'm dull. I also heard from Miss Hee Lian He to Senior Mu Jiu."

Mu Jiu frowned. He knew that it wasn't a good thing and didn't say anything.

Coincidentally, there were some people who didn't see it coming. Seeing someone mention their name in front of the princess, Hee Lian was surprised, but he did not forget to express his opinion. He quickly said: "Princess, the competition is already over. Amongst those idiots, there seems to be a toad who has no self-knowledge and wants to eat swan meat, and is currently making a ruckus in the exam grounds. "

As soon as Hee Lian said this, someone immediately became interested and asked the "toad" for its name.

Hee Lian was overjoyed to be watched by so many people, but he purposely didn't want to show that he was being too hypocritical. He immediately straightened his back and even raised his head a bit.

"This person is a great sinner of our Goldman. Last year, he even got disqualified from the exam because he contradicted the academy's teachers."

Everyone whispered among themselves as they tried to guess who Hee Lian was talking about.

"This kind of person still has the face to take the exam?"

"Hurry up and tell me who this person is. It's so urgent!"

After a while, Hee Lian saw that everyone's curiosity had been raised to a higher level. He then looked at Xuanyuan Fei and said, "This person is the pitiful sinner's daughter, Nangong Wan."

"If she's not crazy, then she's just a fool. If I were to hide deep in the mountains, then she would never show her face again!"

"That's right! To dare to come for the examination despite offending his teacher!"

"How can she have the nerve to come to the exam when her father is so rebellious? Do you still want to enter the imperial government to seek a job? "

"..."

"She's the shameless girl that you all are talking about. At this moment, she got the perfect score for the third course of Wenshu and beat up Lin Ruofei and Xu Qiyan."

Xuanyuan Fei's cold voice once again silenced the noisy hall. Everyone was shocked. They looked at Hee Lian and then at Liu Tinglan in disbelief.

Hee Lian's previous pride had been stepped on. If it wasn't for the princess personally saying it, she wouldn't want to believe that Nangong Wan would have such a result!

Although Liu Tinglan still didn't do anything, her expression finally changed.

No matter who it was, they wouldn't feel comfortable having their first place being snatched away.

Hee Lian's face was pale as he said in a high-pitched voice, "She must have cheated. Otherwise, how could she get a perfect score?"

"The exam is taking place right under the noses of several hundred people. Moreover, the academy has already perfected every aspect of the exam system in the past hundred years. With the exam grounds' supervision system being so strict, who could cheat? If you have the intention to belittle others, you might as well learn from it seriously! " Once she said that, Xuanyuan Fei turned to look at the only man standing there. "Xiao Xiao, come with me!"

Xuanyuan Xiao walked to Xuanyuan Fei's side, looked at the kneeling crowd and said, "Sister, if I don't participate in this Peach Blossom Meet, what about the royal family's inner selection?"

Xuanyuan Fei turned around and walked away. Without looking back, she said, "This year's new batch's top rank belongs to Nangong Wan, and Nangong Wan is already seventeen years old, so the Emperor will not use her. Even the Emperor will not use her, and they will all feel that it's not worth directly skipping the Imperial examinations and taking care of her.

Xuanyuan Xiao nodded and answered with a "Oh", as if he understood something. Then he followed Xuanyuan Fei and left the hall.

Liu Tinglan's face was calm, but her eyes were fixed on Xuanyuan Fei's back, hatred slowly spreading.

On the other side, when Hee Lian saw Xuanyuan Xiao's expression and was noticed by Liu Tinglan, Liu Tinglan finally let out a sneer when she heard Nangong Wan's name coming out of her mouth while gritting her teeth.

She, Xuanyuan Fei, as a princess, could easily enter the academy with her identity. What qualifications did she have to say that she, Liu Tinglan, was inferior to Nangong Wan? Did she know how much effort she had put into getting today's results? Why did she deny him with a single sentence!?

In the front yard.

When Nangong Wan came back, the scene had already been tidied up. Xu Qiyan was helped down to treat his injuries, and the martial arts examination platform was also in the process of being dismantled.

When Xu Yujiao went to attend the Peach Blossom Banquet, Nangong Wan felt a little regretful that she wasn't able to see her angry to death.

With so many people watching, the exam was obviously done. Now that Nangong Wan had taken first place, she should be going to the Peach Blossom Meet, but since she had just come back, the banquet should be going on soon.

Nangong Wan didn't like that kind of scene. Although she said it was a celebratory feast for the freshmen, in reality, it was a place where the academies robbed people.

Hee Qinglan, who was standing to one side, had an ugly expression on her face.

The crowd had not dispersed yet, so Nangong Wan searched around for a while before finally finding Xie Ying, who was sitting at the foot of the tree.

Seeing Nangong Wan return, Xie Ying immediately got up and said in a bad mood, "I thought you left me behind. Why did you come back?"

Nangong Wan rubbed her slightly painful forehead, then she took out a candied fruit she bought on the way back and handed it over to Xie Ying. "I was in a hurry just now, so I didn't have the time to explain it to you. Our Xie Ying will definitely not blame me for being so considerate, right?"

Xie Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Do you take me for a child? This kind of thing can only be eaten by childish ghosts. "

"You can only temporarily forget that you're an adult if you occasionally eat something that belongs to a child. Then, you can truly relax for a while, don't you think?"

Nangong Wan's beaming smile caused Xie Ying's heart to tighten.

Xie Ying knew that Nangong Wan was doing this for her own good. She wanted to make herself forget Chen Feng, but in this world, who could possibly have a smooth sailing life?
