Chapter 77 (2/2)
Everyone under the wall gave an exclamation, and couldn't guess who was the unnamed candidate from Xiling, getting the best results in a hundred years, then without taking a day of cla.s.ses and entering the second floor directly instead!
Hearing the candidate about Xi ling being be able to access to the second floor, the third son from Nan Jin Dynasty raised his eyebrows higher. His pupils were now in a dignified color. He was famous and arrogant after get ranked three in the Nan Jin examination in the last year. The result was unacceptable by himself. Therefore, he chose to prove himself in the academy admission test again. His ultimate goal was of course to enter into the extremely mysterious second floor of the academy. He was not expected that he was still slower than this guy.
The girl next to the girl in the feathered cloak is named Jin Wucai, and she is the youngest daughter of the high professor of the Tang Dynasty. From young she had a sweet personality and loved poetry and books, and had long heard about the third son of the Nan Jin Nation, she also have met up and spoke to him during the poetry gatherings in Chang’an City, and felt that he had the talent that was befitting of his name. When she saw him having a gloomy expression, she smiled and said, “You have six first cla.s.ses, among that is two A+, it is quite rare, at least there is no one higher for this time.”
Using the same reasoning, for this entrance exam, Zhong Dajun of Yang Pa.s.s has A+ for calligraphy, w.a.n.g Ying of Linchuan has A+ for music, while Mr. Xie has two A+ , who else can beat the three of you.
The girl in the feathered cloak was preparing to follow her friends to accompany Xie Chengyun for a talk, suddenly she remembered something, thinking about that guy’s declaration as he left, she subconsciously raised her head to look up the wall. She felt that that guy must be afraid of losing face and gave a lie, but as she thought about the black lightning at the exam hall, she actually believed that she would see his name on the top of the list.
His name is not on the top of the list for music, no, his name is not to be found on the entire list for music, this guy is just plain ignorant, Lan Lan you idiot, how could you believe him!
Situ Yilan, daughter of Yungui General, pulled the feathered cloak angrily. The girl didn’t want to look for the guy’s name anymore, but her sight just landed on the side of the lists without control—- hey!
Her eyes opened wide, looking at the top of the list for Mathematics, Imperial subject, and shooting, seeing the same name, was starting to wonder if her eyesight was failing, her red lips whimpered, reading it out subconsciously, “Ning Que…first cla.s.s upper! First cla.s.s upper! And first cla.s.s upper?”
Along with her voice, the words of congratulations by the other candidates became smaller and smaller, everyone would find their own name, then look at the name of those who had already made a name for themselves, not many people will look out for the name of a n.o.body on the lists, of course they did not see the same name.
“Three first cla.s.ses upper?” Someone looked at the wall, exclaiming.
Jin Wucai covered her mouth, her expression helpless, thinking about the words she heard, said disbelievingly, “So that guy was for real, he knew he would get first cla.s.s upper!”
Earlier everyone was admiring the third son from the South Jin Nation’s ability to get two first cla.s.ses upper, it means he must be the best for this year’s entrance exam, who would have thought that before the words of congratulations stopped, someone who got three first cla.s.ses upper just… bounced out like this.
“Who is Ning Que?”
“Ning Que is who?”
Those candidates who did not see the scene of the black lightning asked their companions, those who saw it start to talk about a tale of how a black horse turned from a ferocious beast to a docile creature.
Situ Yilan looked everywhere for Ning Que and saw he was standing at a far spot, and she hurriedly pulled Jin Wucai’s hand, pushed the crowd away and ran towards him,
The three youths were just as if they were forgotten, Xie Chengyun laughed softly at himself, a indistinguishable expression appeared on his face, and gestured Zhong Dajun and w.a.n.g Ying to escort the n.o.ble girls of Chang’an away.
The crowd split apart to form a path, like water in a stream, and joined together and moved towards the candidate named Ning Que who they never ever heard of.
Ning Que was not aware of what happened at the wall, and was talking about what to eat tonight at the hawker stall with Sangsang. Suddenly he saw the commotion that was going on and that the girl in the feathered cloak was at his front.
Situ Yilan looked at him stunned and said, “Three first cla.s.ses upper…… You…… You, how did you manage to do it?”
Ning Que was stunned, seeing the crowd that was gathering before him, answered, “Erm…… I revise diligently.”
Sangsang looked up at him, her leaf-shaped eyes filled with confusion, thinking ”Young Master do you know what is revision is?”
