After Qin Huai became the Top Scorer, the ones who reacted the most intensely were not the Wang Family, Duke Yong Manor, or the Empress in the palace.
It was Scholar Lu Yu. He crawled to the front of the rankings list almost immediately to take a look.
In his heart, when Qin Huai performed the test on the Six Arts of the Gentleman, he performed very well in every aspect. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell at a glance that he would definitely obtain the top score in the Six Arts of the Gentleman.
Although the Six Arts of the Gentleman only accounted for 30% of the score and wouldnât affect the overall situation much, as long as Qin Huai could score well in the written examination, he would definitely be on the list. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After all, most of the examineesâ performances in the Six Arts of the Gentleman were really unbearable to look at. Not to mention the poor scholars, many people could only barely pass. They usually didnât have a proper place to practice.
On the other hand, because those aristocratic children had everything at home, and there were also teachers to guide them on the subject, they could naturally learn it to a passable level.
At the very least, it could reach the above average standard.
When it came to Qin Huai, no one thought highly of him. He was too young.
The bows, arrows, and horses used during the Six Arts of the Gentleman examination were all distributed randomly. The age of the examinee didnât matter at all.
Many old men and youths couldnât even hold their bows, let alone hit the target.
Lu Yu felt a wave of regret in his heart. He deserved to be taught a lesson by someone. His self-proclaimed righteousness was nothing but a facade, and his actions were despicable and worthy of contempt.
If the other party was ranked on the Golden Ranking List, it was because he was capable. He deserved it.
But if the other person missed the list by a bit, considering that he had disturbed his peace of mind a few days ago, how would he handle the situation then?
âBrother Lu, why are you here too?â When the rankings were released, a few familiar students saw him and came to greet him. âDidnât you ask others to help you look at it in the past?â
This was the second time Lu Yu had participated in the Imperial Examination, but ever since he was young, he had liked to watch the grand commotion revolving around the Golden Ranking List. Every time, he would ask his servants to look at the results and report it to him.
âYes, Iâm here to take a look.â Lu Yu was not in the mood to care about these people now and only focused on looking for Qin Huaiâs name on the rankings.
During the exam of the Six Arts of the Gentleman, he had paid attention to this detail. Qin Huai was A7, and his name was easy to remember.
He thought that Qin Huai should have average results, but after looking at nearly 100 names, he didnât find his name.
How could he not be on the list?
Lu Yu rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had missed the name and wanted to take another look from the middle.
Someone at the side said, âEh, the Top Scorer is actually from our Wanning City. Previously, they even said that a poor student did very well and should be the top scorer. 1 didnât expect our capital to be so filled with talent!â
Lu Yu pretended not to hear and was still searching seriously.
Suddenly, he heard another person read out the name. âQin Huai? This name is very unfamiliar. When did such a person appear in the academy in the past few years? Iâve never heard of him!â
âIf youâre talking about Qin Huai, Iâve heard of him before. He should have studied in the Green Cliff Academy a few years ago. At that time, he didnât often stay in the academy, but every time the academy held a mock examination, 1 would definitely see him.â
âThatâs right, thatâs right. Now that you mention it, i remember that thereâs such a person. That person was really born to take the Imperial Examination. Even the teachers from other schools said that if Qin Huai participated in the Imperial Examination, he would definitely be a top scholar. Unfortunately, i havenât heard of him since. He should have participated in the first two Imperial Examinations. Why is he only on the rankings now? That shouldnât be the case.â
âFrom that description, is it Young Master Qin Huai from Duke Yong Manor?â
Hearing these words, Lu Yuâs face turned pale..
