Yilin said, "Senior Sister Yue, I originally came to Hengshan City with Senior Sister Yihe to meet up with the other fellow disciples, but we encountered bandits and then that scoundrel Tian Boguang, who immobilized me by striking my pressure points and kidnapping me. Fortunately, Senior Brother Linghu came to my aid and protected me, preventing Tian Boguang from succeeding."

Yue Lingshan nodded slightly, "It's not long at all. Senior Brother said it's a long story."

Linghu Chong: "..."

That's it, the junior sister from before is gone forever.

Linghu Chong asked, "Junior Sister, have you seen Master? Where is he?"

Linghu Chong really wanted to ask her face to face whether it was he who married off his junior sister, or whether she had been deceived by some random man.

Yue Lingshan shook her head and said, "I don't know. My husband and I were on our way to the capital for the imperial examination. We just passed through Hengshan City and unexpectedly ran into you, my senior brother."

Linghu Chong was stunned for a moment: "Going to the capital for the imperial examination?"

As someone in the martial arts world, although I have read some books, they are mostly related to martial arts manuals. I was truly stunned by the idea of ​​going to the capital for the imperial examination.

Yue Lingshan proudly said, "That's right, my husband is a scholar who passed the imperial examination."

Murong Fu smiled slightly, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "I am the top scholar from Suzhou. I am confident that I will achieve the highest honors in all three categories when I go to the capital for the imperial examination."

"You're the top scholar in the provincial examination."

Linghu Chong's expression changed drastically. A Jieyuan was already considered an official, belonging to a different circle in the martial arts world.

Murong Fu smiled without saying a word. His title of Jieyuan was not fake; he had truly earned it through the examination, though it had cost him a considerable sum of money.
