Chapter 277: The Academy is in turmoil

Zong Jincheng's voice of encouragement was getting louder and louder. If it was any louder, it might be heard in other courtyards.

Bu Yan was listening outside the door, remembering the same situation when someone challenged him to a fight as a kid. He felt frightened and scared, but he kept shouting "I'll fight you" in an attempt to gain courage with the slogan.

Young Master... you have come to this day.

He raised his eyebrows and held back his smile.

On the 13th day of the month of Ramadan, the day of the competition, early in the morning.

Xu Wan came to have dinner with the little devil. She thought she could see Miracle Chengcheng changing his clothes again, but he didn't insist on dressing himself up handsomely anymore. Instead, he sat at the desk obediently and read the defense speech and sorted out his thoughts.

Huh?

Doesn't this kid have a photographic memory? Now he even remembers to write it down on paper?

"Chengcheng." she called.

"Mother?" Zong Jincheng raised his head, his eyes clear.

Because he was going to compete with Qin Ye today, he woke up very early. But he was afraid that his mind would be confused, so he hurried over to look at the defense and sort out his thoughts.

Xu Wan subconsciously wanted to see the defense he wrote, but the boy threw himself on the paper and said seriously, "Keep it a secret. Not even mother can see it. I want to win fairly."

Xu Wan chuckled, took a step back and said casually, "Okay, then I won't watch it. Come and have dinner. We'll go over there right after we finish eating."

"Hmm!" The kid turned the paper over, pressed it with the inkstone, and turned to hold his mother's hand.

During the meal, Xu Wan said, "The dean has prepared a room for you. I will take Wen Xiu and the others over to watch. Master Pan and the others will not go. I will repeat the instructions to them when I get back."

Zong Jincheng nodded.

Xu Wan raised her eyebrows and continued, "The dean said that all the students in the academy know that Qin Ye challenged you, and they all want to come and watch. Mother hasn't agreed yet. What do you think?"

Zong Jincheng paused while drinking porridge and frowned.

If he had been like before, he would have definitely called everyone to come and see how he beat Qin Ye so hard that he would cry for mercy and flee in panic.

But now, because he knew the strength of both the enemy and us, even though he was well prepared, he was still not completely sure that he could defeat Qin Ye.

The little devil thought about it seriously and shook his head: "No, don't bring so many people, just let them see it."

Xu Wan nodded and said, "Okay."

Qingbo Academy was in an uproar early in the morning.

"The results of the joint exam for the four colleges have been posted. The first place on the science list is Qin Ye! It's Qin Ye from our college!"

"Oh my god! Is Qin Ye crazy? That's the imperial examination list, all of which are the scholars and boys who will take the autumn examination, and he actually got the first place in this list!"

"Hahaha, it's Qin Ye again. Now the entire Hanlin North Courtyard will have a psychological shadow on this name, right? They are going to start fighting and losing again!"

"It's settled, it's settled. The top scorer this year is definitely Qin Ye. This kid is a natural born test winner! A child prodigy!"

"Something big has happened! Something big has happened! Qin Ye has challenged Zong Jincheng to a fight. The two young men have started fighting. It's a showdown. Come and watch the match!"

"What? Are you kidding? A challenge from Qin Ye? He is the test god of our academy, and even the Hanlin North Academy has been defeated repeatedly. Would he take the initiative to challenge others?"

"Zong Jincheng didn't do very well in the exam this time. I don't think he even made it to the list of the four colleges' joint exam. The gap between him and Qin Ye is too big. Do you think he offended Qin Ye, so he was singled out by Qin Ye to teach him a lesson?"

"I don't know. I haven't heard of any grudges between them. Oh, let's go and see the excitement. I heard that the competition is held in the garden east of our academy."

“Let’s go, let’s go…”

A group of students rushed over to watch the excitement, and even some students who were walking on the street and didn't know what was going on were also infected by the excitement. A group of people quickly stopped what they were doing and ran over to watch.

The line grew longer and longer, with more and more people.

However……

The dean was guarding the gate of the garden, and he dispatched several teachers to stop the students who wanted to come in to see the excitement, and he also ordered people to drive away the students who were leaning on the wall to peek.

"Director, you are going too far. Let us go in and take a look. There is still a lot of open space inside."

"Yes, let's go in and take a look. Why is the door closed when there is something so exciting?"

"I also want to see how Qin Ye competes with others. Is it a competition of couplets or poetry?"

"I don't know. We want to see it. We really want to see it." All the students stretched their heads to look inside.

The dean was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He said, "What are you looking at? Even I can't watch. Give them some time, let them compete individually, and when the results come out, I will tell you naturally."

The students were comforted instantly.

It turns out that people still need comparison to gain a sense of happiness. Even the dean can't get in, so they should just give it a break.

But they were reluctant to leave, and some began to shout: "Come on, place your bets. A little gambling for fun. One penny per person. Bet on Qin Ye or Zong Jincheng. Who will win?"

"Need I say more? It must be Qin Ye!"

"Qin Ye! Qin Ye! You can't beat the God of Examination. Do you think that's just a boast?"

"Qin Ye, Qin Ye, don't bet a penny on Qin Ye. That kid named Zong Jincheng has no chance of winning at all."

"Not necessarily. Zong Jincheng is a virgin after all, so he's not bad."

"Yes, Zong Jincheng is indeed not bad, on the contrary, he is very good. However, the opponent is Qin Ye. Do you know Qin Ye? The existence that makes the entire Hanlin North Courtyard tremble in fear... This name will never lose."

“…”

The dean just listened to their discussion about Qin Ye with a smug smile on his face. Qin Ye and Zong Jincheng were the two smartest kids he had ever met. Regardless of winning or losing, they would graduate from his academy in the future. He was looking forward to seeing both of them get top marks next year.

There was a lot of noise outside the garden.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Zong Jincheng brought his four brothers, and Qin Shi also came and stood next to Zong Wenxiu waiting to watch the fight.

Xu Wan is the host and referee this time.

The room was just an ordinary classroom, which had been cleaned up by the dean in advance, leaving only two tables and chairs. The two of them gathered in the middle and sat down facing each other.

He Zheng nervously and excitedly pulled Wei along the way. The boys were rarely so quiet, all waiting to watch the battle.

Qin Ye was young but very calm, his eyes were still cold, and his emotions did not fluctuate at all, as if to him, this was just a very simple competition and he could easily win.

Perhaps Qin Ye was too calm, Zong Jincheng's pounding heart also slowed down. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, then opened them again, and began to become serious.

Qin Ye raised his brows slightly, seeming a little surprised.

This kid in front of me was a person who was easily angered a year ago, but now he has improved to this level, it's like he has been reborn.

Come on, let me see what treasure you have.
