68 Told you, right? (2/2)
However, there was no respond. Gum Xuan only looked at Jin Rou without blinking.
Jin Rou was not affected by this and in fact, he was welcoming it. Because he knew what made this Gum Xuan act like this.
Seeing that there was no response from Gum Xuan, the Master Alchemist had turned into Ma Han and asked, ”Master Han, what.. what happened?”
However, just like the same, they had not received any response at all!
This alarmed the crowd and even the participants.
What was happening here?
Did the world stopped revolting?
Silence. The First Hall was filled with silence that even a needle falling to the ground could be heard. No one dared to talk for a while. Waiting for the High Elders to talk.
After a long silence, Gum Xuan breathed in and out and finally regained his wits. However, his face was still pale. He looked at Jin Rou with indescribable emotion, ”Young man, what is your name?”
Jin Rou chuckled and answered, ”Jin.”
”So it's Jin. Great name.” Gum Xuan praised, ”Then where are Young Noble Jin from?”
”Young Noble..?” Jin Rou found this amusing. ”I don't have any ties with any empires, I am a vagrant adventurer.”
”Oh..” Gum Xuan did not find this believable, but he felt that he could not push the matter through so he let it be, ”Then I hereby declare that Young Noble Jin passed the test! You may now proceed to the Second Hall upstairs. The Second Stage will be held there.”
”Thank you.” Jin Rou said as he walked passed by the two High Elders without even gesturing respect! He walked upstairs with leisure expression.
The crowd was instantly dumbfounded by the scene.
He passed?
HE GOT ALL THE THOUSAND QUESTIONS CORRECT?!
This was the only possibility they could think of as getting perfect marks on the paper exam was the only way to pass.
Even the participants could not believe what they just heard! This.. is not possible at all! At least, in their point of view.
Ma Han gritted her teeth as she finally regained her composure. Although this was something completely ridiculous, the action was right in her eyes and she was being forced to believe it!
She kept grinding her brains how the hell did the lad do that. However, she bore fruit of nothing. All the possible she deduced that this was a wolf in a sheep clothing! After all, cheating was already not possible since her eyes were very fixated to Jin Rou and Gum Xuan when he was checking.
If a while ago, she was underestimating Jin Rou, now she was conscious and wary. Her heart even born fear.. The stakes were so high that she could not afford to lose!
If she could just renege, she already done it! However, the leeway was already blocked and all she could so was step forward.
Suddenly, a playful voice upstairs drifted down the First Hall saying in full of mockery, ”Told you. Right? You will be slapping your face. Hahaha! Idiot!”
Ma Han's expression turned darkened and livid for the worst. Of course, she knew whose voice was it !
