806: Examination

Examination

Chu Jian thought Xie Pinghuai should have had enough of throwing a tantrum. How was he not done yet?0

If it was not for the fact that he had been working hard lately, as his senior brother, he would definitely teach him a lesson!

"Don't you have a brain? You can't even understand such clear words?! I can't be bothered to talk to you!" Xie Pinghuai huffed angrily.

Chu Jian's temper flared up as well. "Xie Pinghuai! I'm your senior brother. You have no manners and don't know the rules at all. I thought you had grown up. I didn't expect you to still be so ignorant!" 

Xie Pinghuai huffed and puffed as he glared at him.

Who was ignorant?

Chu Jian kept bringing up the deceased, exposing his wounds, and even ruthlessly sprinkling salt on them. What good could it be?!

"That's enough!" Xie Pinghuai was very hostile and aggressive.

Chu Jian claimed to be a gentleman and would not quarrel. At this moment, he was very angry with Xie Pinghuai and left with a flick of his sleeves!

It was unusually quiet in the academy for today's exam. As the exam was very important, almost all the examinees were nervous. Each of them was holding a book in their hands and could chew on it for a while.

Xie Qiao's marriage was still more than half a year away, so she was not in a hurry to quit school. However, this exam was indeed the last important exam for her.

However, even if she got married later, she could still come to the academy to read. Xie Qiao was happy for that.

Xie Qiao still registered for eight exams according to the previous rules.

These exams were not difficult for her. After she finished them early, she would hand in her papers immediately and return to the Fortune Pavilion.

Also…

She reckoned that the news that she was alive could not be hidden anymore.

She still had to be prepared to bear the anger of her foolish brother.

She was worried. If that kid got angry, would he slice her in half?

The academy's exams lasted for three consecutive days. Regardless of whether it was the Peony Courtyard or the Begonia Courtyard, all of them had to take part in it. Therefore, the solemn atmosphere lasted for several days.

After the exams, it was the holidays. The academy's teachers had to mark the papers. The students felt as if they were waiting for a sentence. They were nervous.

Fortunately, the result came out quickly.

Xie Qiao knew her own ability and did not go to the academy to check the result.

In the academy, many people were looking at the notice board.

"Young Lady Xie scored the first place for eight exams again! Previously, when she was the champion of eight exams, there were people who said that it was pure luck. It must be a coincidence. This time, they will have nothing to say, right?" 

"Thinking back to Dong Xiyun..." someone brought it up and everyone chuckled awkwardly.

The Peony Courtyard was the loudest back when Dong Xiyun was around. Everyone said that Xie Qiao could not compete with the capital's number one talented girl.

Now…

The bold words from back then were still there, but she was gone.

Moreover, so what if Dong Xiyun was a good student? Her character was terrible, so how could she compare with Young Lady Xie?

However, what everyone cared about was not the eight first places, but the overall results of the two courtyards.

Seeing the result, the hearts of the Peony Courtyard's people turned cold.

The reason being in terms of overall results, there were actually quite a number of students from Orchid Courtyard who had surpassed the Peony Courtyard!

In other words, the hard work they put in the past few months had actually allowed the Orchid Courtyard and the Peony Courtyard to be evenly matched?!

Of course, those who had surpassed the Peony Courtyard were mostly female students from the Orchid Courtyard. There were also some male students from Orchid Courtyard, but there were fewer of them. After all, the Peony Courtyard would only choose the best students. After ten years of hard work, it was indeed difficult to surpass them in a few months.

However, there were very few exceptions. For the majority of the students, it was exciting enough for them.

The students from Orchid Courtyard were even more eager to learn now, and students from Peony Courtyard felt a sense of crisis.

Xie Qiao's ranking of the Orchid Courtyard was even greater. Fang Muxue and the others' ratings were very high, so high that even they were in a daze and disbelief.
