"Oh, I'm different from them. They used human life to promote their cultivation base. This is stupid. I just use this kung fu to refine my body. As long as I got other opportunityies, it's useless for me, isn't?" Qin'er scorned.
As they talked, the crowd made a din.
Prime Minister Gong Liang came out, followed by several civil officials and many guards.
"We've got the result of the literary examination!"
All members of aristocratic families squeezed into the front to wait for the announcement.
"Who will be No.1?"
"This exam is too difficult. I don't know!"
"I'm sure I must be No.1 of this literary examination."
All discussions were about the examination.
"Fang-fei, take it easy. You must be the first place. I asked three great scholars to come up with that answer." Wang Jingguo was full of confidence. He also bribed some of the examiners to destroy Xiao Naihe's paper, perhaps Xiao's paper was already gone.
Wang Jingguo fixed his eyes on the civil officials beside Gong Liang, then the smile on his face slowly disappeared. When he saw the civil officials didn't dare to make eye contact with him, he had a sense of foreboding.
"Things changed?"
As he pondered over, Gong Liang began to announce the result.
"The third place of the literary examination is Li Tiankong, from Li family. The second place is Wang Fangfei, from Wang family. The first place is from Xiao family... Xiao Naihe!" Gong Liang read out the result in a sonorous voice and his eyes seemed to be searching for Xiao Naihe in the crowd.
Many people were shocked when they heard the name of Xiao Naihe.
Wang Jingguo and Wang Fangfei both stared speechless at the other.
"It's impossible. Why isn't my granddaughter No.1? It is not true. There must be cheating." Wang Jingguo shouted at once. He invited three great scholars to prepare the answer for Wang Fangfei, but she was not the first place.
The most ridiculous thing was that he bribed three invigilators, but his granddaughter still was not No.1.
"The result is wrong. I also don't believe it."
How could it be him!
What was Xiao Naihe's identity? Many members of the aristocratic families did not know him before they came to the capital city, because Xiao Naihe was just an ordinary guy of an aristocratic family without any outstanding performance.
But his wife Yun Weixue was well-known. She was the most beautiful girl of the Dubhe Country and the first genius of the capital city. It was said that she reached the Sky Spirit Realm less than eighteen years old.
But she got married with Xiao Naihe, which made many people regret and jealous of Xiao.
In addition, many guys of aristocratic families didn't know Xiao Naihe almost molested Hao Li, the most talented girl, and was nearly died of anger.
In the eyes of other guys, Xiao Naihe was notorious.
How could such a jerk be the first place in the first pass of the family association meeting?
"I don't believe it. How can this boy be No.1 in the literary examination?" Wang Jingguo flew into a rage. He spent so much energy to try to make his granddaughter the champion. But now he failed to attain his hope. How could he not be furious?
Yun Weixue looked at Xiao Naihe with a surprised look. Yun Gongsheng also had mixing feelings. Although Xiao Naihe participated in the contest on behalf of Xiao family, he was a half member of Yun family, now Xiao family was destroyed, so the award for the first place he got should belong to Yun family.
Only Yun Hanbo's face was full of gloom. He stared at Xiao Naihe with envy and resentment.
Gong Liang was in a bad mood at this moment. An annoyed feeling flooded out as Wang Jingguo questioned him.
"I'm the invigilator, and the first three places are selected by me. Do you mean I'm not impartial or I don't have a good eye? "Although a smile still hanged on Gong Liang's lips, no one thought it was a genuine smile.
"What do you say, Patriarch Wang?" Gong Liang smirked and fixed his eyes on Wang Jingguo.
When Wang Jingguo made eye contact with Gong Liang, though he reached the Sky Spirit Realm, he immediately shivered. The pressure that he faced with prime minister was incredible.
"Of course, prime minister. I was wrong."
"You're right. Please forgive me, prime minister."
