Lin Zhuifeng’s carefree voice resounded throughout the Lin Residence and instantly broke the inherent silence.
An Le, who had just stepped into the Water Pavilion, was about to exchange a few pleasantries with Madam Hua when he saw Lin Zhuifeng, who had a fire stick on her waist and was holding Lin Qingyin’s hand, jumping around like an ape in the forest.
The two maidservants, Xi Xiang and Liu Xiang, were already extremely curious. They looked at Lin Zhuifeng inquisitively.
Liu Xiang’s small eyes sparkled like stars. “Young Master An is on the list now? Who’s on List A Scholar Ranking?”
Even a maidservant of the Lin Residence like Liu Xiang knew the ranking of the Spring Quarter Examination Imperial Examination quite well.
The Spring Quarter Examination Imperial Examination was divided into List A and List B. List B results were announced two days ago.
At the top of List B was the scholar called Liu Yue. He was the pitiful scholar who had been imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison with An Le in the Spring Quarter Examination fraud case.
Initially, everyone thought that Liu Yue would never have the chance to enter List B. However, they did not expect him to be ranked first on List B.
That day, the entire Lin’an Prefecture was in an uproar. Many scholars were also extremely emotional. Being able to be ranked first on List B meant that Liu Yue had not cheated after investigating.
Otherwise, Prime Minister Qin would not have let Liu Yue be ranked first on
List B. After Liu Yue reached the top of List B, someone in the Literary Department, First Headmaster Zhu Huoxi, would take Liu Yue in as a student.
As soon as this news was released, many scholars were completely envious.
First Headmaster Zhu Huoxi was a famous Great Confucian. He was talented in literature and researched science. He was a famous literary giant in the Great Zhao Dynasty.
In the court of the Great Zhao Dynasty, many Great Confucians and officials were students of the First Headmaster.
Liu Yue was personally taken in as a student, which was equivalent to having connections in the court. It was definitely not a problem for him to rise in the future.
Although he had not cultivated, as the top of List B, he could at least be ranked as an eighth-grade civil official!
This Liu Yue had really soared into the sky!
However, everyone knew that the real attention was not on List B, but List A. Two days after List B was announced, List A finally appeared and hung on the public announcement board at the entrance of Jing Street.
At the top of List A, it was a name that had caused waves in Lin’an Prefecture recently.
An Le.
The top of the List A Scholar Rankings, An Le! novelbuddy(.)com
List A was a ranking that only cultivators could enter. Furthermore, only the top ten of List A had the chance to enter the Hall Examination and become the top scholar of the Spring Quarter Examination Imperial Examination!
Not only did he have to have enough talent, but he also needed extraordinary cultivation!
This Master An, who was known throughout Lin’an for his ink bamboo painting techniques, had reached the top of List A. This name would sweep through the huge prefecture city like a storm again!
The top of the List A Scholar Rankings and the Hall Examination meant that even if An Le performed abnormally in the Hall Examination, he could at least obtain an official title above the seventh-grade!
If he could perform well in the top scholar examination, his future would be unimaginable. He might even be another Legendary Top Scholar, Li You’an!
In the Lin Residence.
Lin Zhuifeng was extremely excited. When she saw An Le in the Heavenly Wave Water Pavilion, her eyes lit up and she ran over quickly.
“Mr. An, you’re ranked first on List A! You’re so powerful!”
Lin Zhuifeng had a whole new level of respect for An Le now. On top of admiring An Le’s good looks, her admiration for him had increased!
He was too powerful. He dared to kill Qin Qianqiu in the Lake Gazing Building and bet with Prime Minister Qin that he could perform well and enter the top three to participate in the Hall Examination.
Now that List A had been announced, An Le was indeed number one!
Without any suspense, he entered the Hall Examination.
Lin Qingyin panted slightly after being pulled by Lin Zhuifeng. She looked at An Le with excitement and admiration in her eyes. “Sir, congratulations.”
An Le smiled and nodded.
Madam Hua, who was lying on the couch, had already stood up and closed the book in her hand. A smile appeared on her beautiful face. 𝒻𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝒷𝓃𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
“That’s right. However, the true test is to enter the Hall Examination.”
“If you can’t enter the top three in the Hall Examination, the laws of Great Zhao will indeed punish you. However, as long as you enter the top three, or even the top scholar, everything will not be a problem.”
“In addition, you’re currently gathering an invincible aura. If you fail the Hall Examination, it will naturally be a huge blow to you. Therefore, you can’t be complacent and let your guard down just because you’re ranked first on List A. You have to prepare well for the Hall Examination and not underestimate it.”
Madam Hua said seriously.
A spring breeze blew through the hall, stirring An Le’s wide sleeves.
An Le stood up and bowed. “Thank you for your warning, Madam Hua. I understand.”
Madam Hua nodded in satisfaction and admired An Le’s confident and humble qualities. “The Hall Examination is divided into two rounds, the written test and the martial test. The test method over the years is unknown, and it’s all decided by His Majesty. As there aren’t many people participating, it’s directly held in the Heavenly Profound Palace. In the end, the combined scores of the written test and the martial test will be ranked to determine the top scorer, second place, and third place. The Hall Examination is actually a ranking of the scholars on List A.”
“Although you’re ranked first on List A, your ranking on List A isn’t really ranked.”
An Le naturally knew about this. List B was a true ranking, but because List A had an additional Hall Examination, although it was also arranged according to the score, strictly speaking, it was not ranked.
“How’s the invincible aura gathering on your body?”
Madam Hua stopped talking about the Hall Examination because she believed that An Le would be prepared.
An Le smiled and said, “That day, after defeating the Demon Subduing Master from Lin’an, the invincible aura condensed and became more and more majestic. Now that my Body Tempering has stepped into the fourth realm and developed Mystic Intent, I naturally have some confidence in winning the Hall Examination..”
