However, after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find it.

"How could I miss it? It's impossible. I answered it so perfectly! But fortunately, the little prodigy also missed it. I didn't even see his name, haha. Let me see who is the first in the county case-"

The candidate talked to himself, raised his head and looked towards the front row of the red list.

When he saw the name ranked first, he felt like he was struck by lightning and his mouth opened wide.

No? May I ask?

When I asked you how you did in the exam, didn’t you give a wry smile?

But why is your name ranked first!

Play me, play me, right?

The candidate's mentality collapsed.

There were many candidates in the crowd who had the same mentality – they didn’t see themselves on the red case, but they didn’t see the little prodigy either, hahaha.

We failed the exam just like the little prodigy, but we don’t seem to be feeling that bad… Wait?!

"Oh my God!"

"He is actually the top case in the county? How is that possible!"

"He's only 9 years old, he's only 9 years old!"

"I am 47 years old this year, and I have failed the exam for 30 years. A nine-year-old child actually won the county's first place... I am not crazy, I am not crazy, hahahaha!"

Front row.

Several white-haired old men stared blankly at the two characters "Cui Xian" ranked first on the red table, and were so shocked that they laughed loudly, or should I say cried loudly?

The rest of the middle-aged candidates, young candidates, and teenage candidates, whether they passed the exam or not.

They all stared at the name at the top of the list, as if struck by lightning and fell silent.

This was probably the most bizarre county exam result announcement. People in the back were asking anxiously, while people in the front row looked dazed and speechless.

then.

The people in the front row silently stepped back, while those in the back row squeezed forward, and a new round of silence began.

They have studied hard for many years, so naturally no one understands better than them what it means for a 9-year-old to be the top scorer in a county case!

Seeing that overly young name listed first on the red case list, the scene seemed silent.

In reality, it was the deafening and miserable wails of countless people with their hearts broken!

The county chief can be nineteen, twenty-nine, or thirty-nine years old.

But it definitely can’t be nine years old!

If you do this, it will make our half-life of hard study seem like a joke.

Many candidates stared blankly at the name ranked first, and even felt a sense of suffocation due to inexplicable fear.

The last row of people.

Old Cui held Xian'er tightly.

Cui Zhongyuan, Cui Boshan, Old Lady Pei, Pei Chongqing and others held Pei Jian and the other four young masters separately, fearing that they would be separated by the crowd.

So many people!

And I don’t know why, but I always felt that the atmosphere of today’s announcement of the results was very strange, it was too quiet!

There was no crying or wailing, nor any excited laughter.

So weird.

Because there were so many people, Old Cui pulled Xian'er and raised her voice, saying, "Xian'er, there are too many people. It's not safe. Why don't we wait a while before going to see it again?"

In fact, Mr. Cui has never been able to remain calm.

She really thought that her child was still young and had no chance of making the list. That was why she didn't pay much attention to the list, but was worried that there would be too many people and that Xiange'er would be squeezed out.

After all, Mrs. Cui herself had cried and wailed countless times in front of this red case.

When she saw Hong'an now, her first feeling was fear.

The hysterical old Mrs. Cui was so eager for her son to pass the imperial examination that she went crazy. This topic was known throughout Nanyang!

But today.

In the silent crowd, everyone turned around after hearing the word "Xian Ge'er".

People looked at Cui Xian, their eyes filled with too many complicated emotions.

Old Mrs. Cui was startled and immediately protected Xian'er behind her.

Not only her, but also Pei Chongqing, Old Lady Pei, the Cui family, and a group of young masters including Zhuang Jin were all frightened.

What's going on?

then.

Under their dull, shocked gaze.

Someone in front shouted loudly: "Little prodigy, the little prodigy is here!"

Wow!

This voice was like thunder in spring, booming among the crowd.

Then, the people in the front row dispersed to both sides in tacit agreement. The crowded crowd just made way for a passage.

Make way for the new county case leader!

This scene was really shocking. The crowded and bustling crowd suddenly dispersed!

Old Cui, who was holding Xian'er's hand, and the Cui family, the Pei family, and Zhuang Jin suddenly stood in the middle of the passage, and the view ahead suddenly became clear.

Facing the red case list in the distance!

Old Mrs. Cui stared at the scene in a daze. She seemed to realize something and suddenly looked at her little grandson. Her heart beat faster and faster.

then.

She heard Xian Ge'er ask with a smile: "Grandma, now that you have learned, you must know your grandson's name, right?"

Recognize it, Old Cui must recognize it!

After she started to learn to write, although the handwriting she practiced every day was crooked, she wrote the names of her family members!

Old Mrs. Cui covered her mouth, so excited that she didn't know what to say, she just kept nodding.

Cui Xian grabbed Old Cui's hand and said, "Then, Grandmother, please take your grandson with you and go check. Check if the first one on the red case is my grandson's name."

Old Cui dared to swear that she would never forget that shocking scene for the rest of her life.

The crowd parted like a tide.

Countless gazes crowned them.

She pulled Xian'er and walked tremblingly through the crowd, and stood in front of the red table.

At the front of the Red Case List, the one ranked first, the shining name written in hot gold, different from other ink words, is——

Eight rows and nine columns, the first in the county, Cui Xian!
