Chapter 210 Qin Ye is simply not a human

"Check the candles again to see if there are any with empty wicks. Look at the bottom." Xu Wan continued, "Also, pack the rat repellent sachets. Don't forget any."

The little devil's position while lying on the table changed from time to time. Sometimes his head tilted to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes he looked up for a few times, and then lay down again.

Outside the house, insects chirped at night, and inside the house his mother was packing his luggage.

We will enter the Gongyuan tomorrow.

But he kind of hoped that time could stop, or even extend a little longer. He felt so comfortable now.

Xu Wan led the team to check everything again. After making sure nothing was missed, she walked over and said to him, "Have you remembered clearly where the things are placed?"

The little devil nodded and said, "I remember."

He remembered them all clearly because his mother had prepared them all for him.

Xu Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "You are so honest. You can stay quiet for so long. This is not like your usual style. Are you nervous too?"

Zong Jincheng was a little slow to react, and only when his mother sat over did he quickly say, "No, I'm not nervous. If anyone is nervous, it should be Qin Ye. Just wait and see how I squeeze him out of first place!"

Xu Wan couldn't help laughing, rubbed his head and said, "Do your best, don't be too impatient."

The little devil's eyes lit up and his heart was exploding with joy.

Do your best, she said. Do your best, she said to him...

This was the first time she said this to him. She had always used this method to comfort her brother and He Zheng in the past, but this time she actually said these words to him as well. So she began to worry that he would overthink it.

The little devil grinned and said confidently: "I will come back to bring you honor when I get good grades!"

Xu Wan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

That night, the children went to bed early.

Xu Wan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She was not worried that they would not do well in the exam, but that they would not be able to bear to stay in Gongyuan alone for three nights. The three of them were teenagers, and it was their first time to travel far away, so she didn't know if they could adapt.

Finally, in the middle of the night, Xu Wan couldn't help but curse the absurdity of the Tongzi exam. The exam is five days, so what's wrong with letting the children go home every day? Can't we just not hand out the test papers in one day?

"Behind and not considerate."

Xu Wan covered herself with the quilt and fell asleep with resentment.

The next morning, the large group of people from the Marquis' Mansion escorted the three children all the way to the gate of Gongyuan. Gongyuan was a remote place, and they felt a little cold as soon as they got off the car. Fortunately, Xu Wan asked them to wear thicker clothes in advance, so they didn't feel uncomfortable when they got off.

The three boys waved goodbye to them with their bags on their backs, then turned and walked towards the tribute courtyard.

On the way, Zong Wenxiu was still praying, mumbling the Nine Classics of State Governance: "There are nine classics for governing a country: self-cultivation, respect for the wise, love for relatives, respect for ministers, consideration for ministers, love for the common people, attracting all kinds of craftsmen, being gentle to distant people, and cherishing the princes."

The little devil suddenly interrupted and asked, "The last sentence says that only by adopting a gentle policy can we attract talents and enrich the country and strengthen the army. Did the Qin Dynasty attract talents from other dynasties through a gentle policy during its rise to power by unifying the six kingdoms?"

He Zheng was confused by the question: "I haven't learned this yet..."

Zong Wenxiu was also stumped by the question. Not only did he fail to cram before the exam, he also found that he was too far away from it.

He tried to calm himself and his brothers, saying, "It's okay. I don't know if I'll pass the exam."

"Oh..." The little devil nodded puzzledly.

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind, slowly saying a few names: "Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, Fan Ju, Li Si."

The three of them turned around quickly and met a pair of extremely cold eyes.

It’s Qin Ye.

With his appearance, there was a commotion at the gate of Gongyuan:

"It's the famous Qin Ye from Qingbo Academy. As expected, he came to take part in this year's Boy's Examination."

"It's over. Even the top Hanlin North Academy in the capital has been defeated by him repeatedly. Qin Ye will definitely take the top spot this time."

"Don't be too pessimistic. The child exam is a national exam. Maybe there will be a child prodigy from outside who can crush him."

"That's nonsense. There are not so many child prodigies. Didn't you hear the names he just mentioned? That's a summary of knowledge that is not even in the Doctrine of the Mean. Qin Ye's ability is far beyond that of a child prodigy."

“…”

The candidates were still discussing the matter. He Zheng stared at Qin Ye blankly and asked quietly, "Jin Cheng, is this the Qin Ye we all want to defeat every day? He doesn't look ugly or ferocious... He even told us the answers before the exam."

The little devil was also a little confused about what Qin Ye was doing. They were competitors, and if he helped them at this time, wouldn't he be making the exam more difficult for himself?

Zong Wenxiu quietly reminded him: "Qin Ye must have told us this out of kindness for Qin Shi."

It turned out that he was expressing his gratitude on behalf of his brother.

The little devil snorted and asked Qin Ye, "You dare to tell me the answers before the exam, aren't you afraid that I will do better than you?"

Qin Ye looked over with cold eyes and said coldly: "First of all, your brother is right, it is not necessarily that this point will be scored."

"What's next?" the little devil asked with narrowed eyes, to see what good words he could say.

"Secondly, I've said that first place is mine. If you want to surpass me..." Qin Ye walked up the stairs and looked back, "You're still a long way off."

Still a long way to go...

Still a long way to go...

These four words kept popping up in the little devil's mind, making him so angry that he almost wanted to jump up and fight him: "Qin Ye! You crazy bastard, what are you showing off for? Who asked you to pretend to be a good person here? This question may not be tested, you cold-blooded boy, are you here to show off? Damn it, I will crush you again and again."

Qin Ye ignored him and walked into the tribute courtyard first.

The angry little devil was dragged down by Zong Wenxiu and He Zheng to calm down. It was his brother who said in time: "Aunt is still watching you."

The little devil turned around and saw Xu Wan in the crowd. She didn't know what happened here, and her brows were wrinkled, as if she was worried that something might happen to him.

Zong Jincheng knew the importance of today's exam. He tried to calm down and walked into the tribute hall with a cold face.

Damn Qin Ye, just wait for me!

Just wait and see how I’m going to hang you up and beat you!

The boy's examination begins.

As soon as the test paper was handed out, the little devil followed the correct examination procedures, first checking the test paper for printing errors, and then began to roughly review what the test questions were.

There were a lot of questions on the test paper, so many that his hands would hurt just from writing them. Fortunately, many of them were questions he had done before, so he was able to answer them easily. But until he turned to the back...

When we saw the question just now, they said it might not be on the test.

Little Devil: “…”

Damn it!!

This Qin Ye is simply not a human being!!
