Ye Qiu couldn't bring himself to say that famous quote, so he could only suppress his laughter.
Zhou Taiqing's face darkened, and he remained silent.
He knew very well that if he spoke again, he might be met with even more outrageous ridicule, so he simply kept quiet.
Soon after, two hosts arrived at the Wendao competition area.
One of them is Wang Xiaocao, and the other is Gao Shao, a well-known host from Dalong.
Gao Shao is a very young and handsome man with an outstanding temperament and a large following.
He and Wang Xiaocao stood together, looking like a perfect couple, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, which caused a stir among the crowd.
The two collaborated to host the competition in the literary and artistic division. Their teamwork was quite good, and they quickly explained all the specific and detailed rules and arranged the first round of the competition in an orderly manner.
Soon, the first round of the Wendao competition began.
The purpose of this round is very clear, and the process is similar to that of the Tongcheng League, with participants being evaluated in four levels: A, B, C, and D.
Those who do not reach Grade C will be eliminated in the first round and will not be eligible to participate in the next round of the Wendao competition.
Those who were eliminated in the first round are not necessarily without a chance.
Because in the end, all those who are eliminated will compete in a martial arts contest to vie for ten revival spots.
Those who are successfully resurrected can enter the final ranking battle after the merger of the civil and military competition areas in another way.
However, it is obvious that many people will be eliminated. It is extremely difficult to win a spot in the next round among so many people. Those who can stand out from the crowd are definitely geniuses in cultivation.
The rules were almost identical, but this time, Ye Qiu was no longer a contestant, but the chief judge of the Wendao competition area.
Ye Qiu was not quite used to the change in his identity for a while.
Soon, the first round of the competition began. Thirty assistants distributed a total of six thousand test papers, as there were six thousand people participating in the Wendao competition.
The test questions on the exam paper are also different from those in the Tongcheng League.
In a high-level competition like the Dalong League, there are ten questions in total, covering poetry, prose, and etiquette.
Originally, there was no such thing as etiquette; it was added by Lin Xuanye.
Lin Xuanye followed Ye Qiu's advice and decided to build the Great Dragon Dynasty into a peaceful and courteous nation.
As the exam began, all six thousand participants worked hard to answer the questions.
Taking a break from her busy schedule, Wang Xiaocao quietly ran to Ye Qiu's side and poked Ye Qiu's back with her finger from behind.
Ye Qiu glanced back and asked with a smile, "Goddess Wang, is there something you need?"
"Oh, you're calling me a goddess? Tsk tsk, am I your goddess?"
If I were your goddess, why wouldn't you take the initiative to say hello to me?
Wang Xiaocao stared at Ye Qiu with a half-smile.
Ye Qiu shrugged: "Because I'm a male god."
"Ahem." Wang Xiaocao almost couldn't hold back: "Okay, okay, you're my idol, and I'm your little fan, is that alright?"
"Hehe, this is a completely pointless conversation," Ye Qiu chuckled.
Wang Xiaocao's face stiffened, and she immediately reached out and pinched Ye Qiu hard: "You damned Ye Qiu, now that you've become His Majesty's favorite, you don't recognize me anymore, do you? We're still business partners, be careful or I'll dock your pay."
"If you dare to deduct my salary, I'll persuade His Majesty to take you as a concubine."
"you..."
Wang Xiaocao stomped her feet in anger.
That stomp of the foot was quite something.
She was wearing a revealing dress, and something almost jumped out from somewhere.
Startled, Ye Qiu quickly reached out to catch her.
But when he reached out his hand, the situation became somewhat awkward.
Wang Xiaocao was also taken aback for a moment, then blushed and asked coquettishly, "What do you want to do?"
"I'm afraid the rabbit will escape."
Pfft.
Wang Xiaocao originally wanted to pretend to be angry, but Ye Qiu's words made her unable to help but laugh: "You pervert, you can take advantage of others in such a refreshing and unconventional way, only you can do that."
"How can you call this taking advantage? Goddess Wang, I was clearly worried about you," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"Pah, you scoundrel."
Wang Xiaocao slowly squatted down next to Ye Qiu and whispered to him, "Now that you've become the chief judge, many people will definitely try to pull strings for you and offer you all sorts of benefits. You'd better hold on tight and not mess things up."
“I know, I’m a man of integrity, and most people wouldn’t dare come near me,” Ye Qiu said.
"Oh dear, is that so?" Wang Xiaocao lowered her voice, "I was hoping to ask you for a favor."
"Uh, what kind of help?"
"Well, I have a good friend who's incredibly talented, but she's shy and doesn't dare to express herself. Her name is Qingluo. If you see her exam paper, could you please take a closer look and give her a chance, okay?"
Wang Xiaocao blinked her big eyes, looking completely harmless.
Ye Qiu's eyes widened: "What did you just tell me?"
“I know you’re a righteous person, but I’m not asking you to use connections, right? It’s just a matter of being a little more careful, it’s not a matter of principle, is it?” Wang Xiaocao reached out and hugged Ye Qiu’s leg.
Fortunately, there was a table blocking the view, so only a few people saw Wang Xiaocao's actions.
If someone else sees this, it could cause quite a stir.
"Get up right away. There's no room for negotiation. I will treat all contestants equally. If she is truly talented, she will definitely not be overlooked," Ye Qiu said.
"Hmph, you're such a nuisance! You won't even do the smallest favor. I hate you."
Wang Xiaocao opened her mouth and bit Ye Qiu's thigh.
Then, Wang Xiaocao stood up, turned around and left in her high heels.
