Chapter 1406 I guess he wants to poach people
Shu Yu never expected things to develop to this point.
"Is Ah Yun alright?"
Xia Yan shook his head, quite proudly, "Young Master was the top scholar in the academy examination. He is well-read and learned. Those scholars asked one question after another, but to Young Master, they were all very simple questions. He could answer them without even thinking. These people were no challenge for Young Master."
Not only did they not find it difficult, but many people now greatly admire and respect their young master.
Upon hearing this, Shu Yu became somewhat curious.
She looked around and saw a stone pier about half a meter high not far away, with a potted plant on it.
She smiled and said to the abbot of Dongqing Temple, "Master, it's noisy here. Let Yingxi take you to the main hall to sit for a while. I'll check the situation first."
The abbot of Dongqing Temple nodded and followed Yingxi out of the backyard, where they found a stool in the main hall to sit and wait.
Shu Yu had already walked to the stone block, taken down the potted plant that was on it, and stepped onto the stone block without saying a word.
The stone pier wasn't very big; when Shu Yu climbed it, he could only barely place one foot on it while the other foot was dangling in the air.
Xia Yan, who was standing next to her, felt a jolt in his eyelids and quickly helped her up, saying, "Miss."
"It's nothing, I'm just taking a look."
Standing on the stone pier, the view was indeed much clearer.
There were people everywhere, but a large area in the middle was left empty, with tables, chairs, pens, and inkstones placed there.
Meng Yunzheng stood right in the middle. The students and examinees around him were talking to him all at once, and some even wrote on the table for a while before handing him the finished paper.
Meng Yunzheng, on the other hand, was methodical, nodding as he spoke and writing.
Xun Sheng was also beside him, and besides him, there was another person standing on Meng Yunzheng's other side.
Shu Yu lowered her head slightly and asked Xia Yan, "Who is that person next to A Yun who is wearing a light brown robe and has a beard? He doesn't look like one of the candidates in this batch."
Xia Yan knew who she was talking about as soon as he heard it.
He lowered his voice, becoming even softer, "That's Master Geng from the prefectural school. He heard that you were here, so he came here specifically. I suspect he wants you to study at the prefectural school."
Shu Yu's expression hardened, and he seemed to be deep in thought.
Just then, Meng Yunzheng raised his head, and Shu Yu's figure, who was half a head taller than him, unsurprisingly came into his view.
In fact, it wasn't just him; most of the people facing this side saw Shu Yu.
After all, she stood tall and was a woman, making her particularly conspicuous among the group of scholars.
Meng Yunzheng paused, about to come out immediately.
Shu Yu's expression changed slightly, and she quickly signaled him to stop.
Meng Yunzheng was stunned for a moment. Shu Yu then made two more hand gestures, indicating that she was going back to the courtyard first and that he should take his time and come back when it was over. She was going back to the courtyard to prepare a celebration for him.
Meng Yunzheng frowned, looking somewhat disapproving.
Shu Yu glared at him firmly, then jumped down from the stone pier.
Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief. "Miss, I'll go in and bring the young master out now. Please wait a moment..."
"No need, I've already spoken to your young master. We'll go back first, and you can wait for him here until he's finished with his work."
Xia Yan was completely taken aback. "It's settled? Did she say anything just now? He didn't hear a single word. How could it be settled?"
