After seeing the results, all the fellow students were panicked.

But after all, those who follow the sciences are all future scientists without emotions. They quickly put aside useless emotions such as disappointment, sadness, guilt, and pain, and faced the bleak reality head-on.

"Let's have a meeting." The eldest brother immediately imitated his master and snapped his fingers, then was the first to squeeze out of the crowd.

The four fellow apprentices also followed out, and the five of them formed a circle, facing each other, and began to whisper.

"It's going to be bad. Looking at the terrible state of the examination, it's a bit difficult for us to pass and get the top scorer."

The second brother used scientific methods to calculate the probability and said, "Less than one in ten chances."

"I think I can have a 50%, no, 70% chance of success by myself!" The third brother was stubborn and refused to accept the result.

"Bullshit, most of the top scholars in history come from the top four in the imperial examination." Hua Shuyang rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are fifth, you are not good enough at all."

"I don't believe it, I don't accept it, I want to counterattack!" The third senior brother's face was red and his neck was thick, making people want to stick a talisman on his forehead.

So everyone ignored Wang Dingjue who was stubborn and continued to discuss.

"It doesn't matter if we don't pass the exam to become the top scholar, but if we can't get the coveted second lesson, we will all be in trouble..."

The eldest brother sighed and said, "Although the master may give in, as future scientists, we cannot pin our hopes on human factors."

"Then, how can I improve my grades quickly?" Yu Shenxing asked. Although he was taciturn, he was also very competitive.

I can’t bring shame to the hometown of Confucius and Mencius!

Before he finished speaking, everyone's eyes converged on one spot - they all thought of the mysterious closed-door special training that their master had given to their grandmaster, which seemed to be able to turn decay into magic.

"Even an old man like our master can be saved. Wouldn't it be easy to help our geniuses improve their performance?" Hua Shuyang rubbed his hands excitedly.

"I'm afraid you're just being disappointed. Last month, Master led the Grandmaster to retreat in the East Courtyard, and I pestered Master for a long time," the eldest brother poured cold water on everyone again.

"Alas, you have seen the result. Although I am such a big brother, I can't even get close to the gate across the courtyard..."

"Oh, yes, what should we do..." Several brothers were scratching their heads anxiously.

"Hehe," suddenly the seventh apprentice brother who had just joined the sect laughed and said, "This is because the eldest apprentice brother didn't use the right method. As long as the method is right, there is no need to worry about the master not letting go."

"Tell me quickly." Although they had not met for a long time, the brothers all knew that the Golden Monkey was very cunning.

"We do this, this and that..." Then Jin Xuezeng spoke out his plan with a wicked smile.

"Ah, is this still the case?" The brothers couldn't help but look embarrassed when they heard this. "How embarrassing is that?"

"Who are we?" The eldest brother made up his mind and asked in a deep voice.

"An emotionless scientist!" the fellow students responded in unison.

This caused the other candidates to look at them sideways, wondering what was wrong with these people?

"What is the essence of the problem?" asked the eldest brother again.

"To improve grades, to get top marks, to attend classes!"

"Just do as the Seventh Brother says!" The eldest brother patted the third brother's thigh. He then led his fellow brothers back into the crowd, moving westward while making a bitter face and preparing his emotions.

Southwest wall.

Zhao Shouzheng had been standing in front of his own name. Firstly, he was enjoying this dreamlike feeling, and secondly, he was drunk from jumping up and down just now.

Zhao Hao stood next to his father and didn't dare to move forward.

One is that he was afraid of being crowded, and the other is that he was worried that his disciples’ rankings were too bad and his little heart could not bear it.

Everyone will come here anyway, so just wait.

After a while, Tang Hezheng and Shi Jinchen came over with the crowd.

The former looked anxious, while the latter felt relieved.

Seeing the two people's eyes sweeping over his name, Master Zhao said proudly: "Don't look anymore, this is Sun Shan."

Tang Hezheng's eyes immediately turned red, and Shi Jinchen hurriedly whispered to comfort him.

"What's going on?" Mr. Zhao was stunned. Observe the mood and atmosphere? Don't force someone who is hungover.

"Brother."

When Tang Hezheng saw Zhao Shouzheng, tears started to fall from his eyes. He lowered his head and said sadly, "I am behind you..."

"I am ranked second..." Master Zhao scratched his head and said suddenly, "Oh, right, I am Sun Shan."

After saying that, he looked at Tang Hezheng in surprise and said, "You didn't win?"

The son of Tang Jingchuan won the second place in the Yingtian County Examination.

"There is something fishy going on. Lord Yu's son got the third place." Shi Jinchen said angrily immediately.

"So which place did you get?" Zhao Shouzheng asked.

"No. 181..." Shi Jinchen couldn't help but say, "It's actually quite fair."

"That's enough." Zhao Shouzheng patted Tang Hezheng's shoulder and said with a soothing smile, "How many times have you failed? You'll get used to it slowly."

Tang Hezheng burst into tears.

Zhao Hao hurriedly explained to Xiao Tang that his father was drunk and still drunk, so he should not blame him.

Only then did Tang Hezheng leave with the help of Shi Jinchen.

"Dad, you'd better say less, otherwise you'll ruin all your good popularity." Zhao Hao rolled his eyes at Zhao Shouzheng.

"Hehe, I talked too much and drank too much." Zhao Shouzheng laughed awkwardly twice and finally realized that he was getting too carried away.

So when he met acquaintances later, he would only say happy New Year.

"Brother Mingshou, what's your ranking?" Zhao Hao asked when he saw Wang Yongji coming over with a happy look on his face.

"Thanks for your good words, young master. I'm lucky enough to get the eleventh place." Wang Yongji could not hide his joy and bowed to Zhao Hao to report the good news.

"Awesome!" Zhao Hao naturally praised it endlessly.

"Congratulations." Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly clasped his fists and congratulated him: "The spring breeze is blowing, and the horse's hooves are galloping. I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."

"Thank you, Brother Shi. Congratulations to you." Wang Yongji was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

After he left, Zhao Shouzheng looked at his son proudly, meaning, how about it, did your father not offend anyone this time?

Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction, thinking that reciting poetry was a good way to talk nonsense.

After a while, Wu Kangyuan came again, also with a happy look on his face.

"Which place did you win?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.

"Twenty-one!" Wu Kangyuan said excitedly, "It's better than expected!"

"Congratulations." Zhao Shouzheng immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty is pleased to welcome the new Jinshi, and the people deserve a good official."

"Thank you very much, congratulations." After Wu Kangyuan congratulated Zhao Shouzheng, he sighed again:

"It's a pity that there is no Wei Ji Xian in the capital. We lack that flavor to celebrate..."

"I'll open another one later." Zhao Hao said with a smile.

"Really?" Wu Kangyuan immediately said excitedly: "Then I will have a good life in the next few years."

His uncle had already arranged a career for him, and was just waiting for Wu Kangyuan to go through the formalities.

So he knew exactly where to go next...

While the two were talking, Huang Jieyuan was seen moving sideways with a pale face, frowning brows, and squinting eyes.

"Huang Jieyuan, what's wrong with you?" Wu Kangyuan was also from Zhejiang, so he was naturally very polite to the Jieyuan from his own province.

Huang Hongxian turned a deaf ear to it and only squinted his eyes to look at the few names left on the list. His expression of not wanting to finish reading made us understand what it means to cherish.

It was not until he saw Zhao Shouzheng's name that he closed his eyes and fainted.
