Shen Tangning looked hesitant, thinking to herself, "The one you worship in your room is the Tathagata of Many Treasures, the Bodhisattva who controls wealth. Wouldn't it be too much to ask him to bless your son to pass the imperial examination?"
But seeing her devout expression, and fearing she might upset Chi's mother, she ultimately didn't say anything.
After a while, Chi Yan finally appeared.
Chi Yan was tilting his head as he listened to Ji Wuyai complain, "This question is just too difficult! Which teacher set it? I'd like to pay him a visit and give him some local specialties!"
With a sorrowful expression, he concluded, "Good brother, see you next year!"
"Dream on, who wants to see you again?" Chi Yan cursed under her breath, then paused, raised her eyelids and stared at him. "Didn't you look at that test paper?"
Ji Wuyai wore a bitter expression: "You think too highly of me. How am I supposed to memorize so many?" He lowered his voice furtively, "Besides, I think you're right. We can't do something so unethical!"
Chi Yan was somewhat surprised, and smiled slightly: "You've got some potential."
Ji Wuyai patted his chest triumphantly: "Of course! At least I participated. Even if I failed, my mother will be happy. Young Master Ji, you may have failed, but you are still honorable!"
Chi Yan curled his lips and chuckled softly, "You're so honorable, my foot!"
He had given all the necessary reminders, and if Ji Wuyai insisted on taking that path, he couldn't stop him.
"Ayan! What are you dawdling for, you brat?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Chi Yan looked up, a smile unconsciously appearing in his eyes.
Ji Wuyai followed his gaze, understood immediately, and said in a sour tone, "Oh, people who are married are different. Go ahead, I can walk home by myself."
Chi Yan nodded earnestly: "I'll go first."
Watching his retreating figure leave without hesitation, Ji Wuyai was stunned: "..."
If we weren't brothers, would you really not hesitate for even a second?
Chi Yan approached, his gaze sweeping over the group, and he chuckled nonchalantly, "Is it really necessary to make such a big fuss? It's not like I can't find my way home."
After saying that, Madam Chi Er slapped him: "You should be secretly happy that they came to pick you up!"
Chi Yan: "..."
Very well, his mother changed her attitude right after the exam.
Shen Tangning looked at him with a smile in her beautiful eyes. He looked a bit thin and haggard, but he seemed to be in good condition, and it seemed that he had performed well.
"How are you feeling, my husband?"
"Well..." Chi Yan frowned, his expression becoming serious. His stammering manner immediately made Chi Er and his wife feel uneasy.
Chi's mother stammered as she comforted him, "It's okay, son. If we don't pass the exam this time, there's always next time. Don't put too much pressure on yourself!"
Mr. Chi nodded repeatedly: "Failure is common. There was a person who was over fifty years old when he finally passed the exam!"
"..." Chi Yan suspected that he was referring to Fan Jin.
Shen Tangning seemed to have noticed something, but she smiled and remained silent.
Sure enough, his expression relaxed, and he smiled, "Just kidding. I did a great job this time. You could say I showed my true strength!"
The two elders exchanged a silent glance, their hearts sinking into a deep chill.
What is his son's true ability?
Then you're definitely going to fail the exam!
Despite her heart attack, Chi's mother forced a smile: "It's alright, son. I don't blame you. We've worked so hard these past few days, let's go back and have something good to eat!"
Chi Yan, enraged and embarrassed, exclaimed, "I really think this was a good time!"
Chi's mother said to Chi's father with a heavy heart, "Look at him, he's so tired he's hallucinating!"
Chi Yan: "..."
