Madam Ye pursed her lips and chuckled. She was very satisfied with Ye Wenxi’s performance.

Emperor Zhao’s gaze shifted to An Le. “An Le, what do you think?”

The moment Emperor Zhao finished speaking,

beside the Emperor’s throne, Eunuch Tong, who had his head lowered, slowly raised his eyes. A majestic aura suddenly surged on his thin body as he stared at An Le, indicating that he wanted An Le to answer properly.

Faced with this suppression, An Le smiled. The [Fearless Heart] Dao Fruit trembled slightly, and the [Heroic Qi Attraction] also attracted heroism to intertwine around his body.

“Your Majesty, if you really feel that this examination is not fair enough under your own eyes, then abolish the position of the top scholar. As for letting Miss Wenxi suppress her cultivation to fight me… there’s even less need. I’ll fight Miss Wenxi on the Little Sacred Ranking sooner or later.”

“It’s a little insulting to let Miss Wenxi suppress her cultivation and fight me. I don’t want to be such a top scholar.”

“Therefore, I’m also unwilling to fight Miss Wenxi.”

His tone was neither servile nor overbearing. He withstood the pressure released by Eunuch Tong and casually spoke in the palace with a hint of a smile.

If the Emperor felt that it was not fair enough, he could abolish the position of the top scholar.

There was no need for him to be the top scholar.

An Le’s words made the expressions of the List B scholars below become even more complicated.

In the court, the officials were in an uproar.

Emperor Zhao sat upright on the Emperor’s throne, and the expression in his eyes became even colder.

It was as if he did not expect An Le and Ye Wenxi to reject his suggestion.

He had clearly given An Le a way out and granted him a way to become the top scholar.

However, An Le’s words did not place much importance on the position of the top scholar.

Without this top scholar position, An Le’s legendary path would naturally collapse. He would also be stripped of his right to speak to the Sacred Teacher. How could he be so calm?

Suddenly, Emperor Zhao felt an inexplicable sense of disgust.

It was as if he had seen Ye Longsheng, who had repeatedly resisted his decree.

However, Emperor Zhao did not show his disgust. He leaned back in his chair and glanced around indifferently. Eunuch Tong, who was beside him, became even more overbearing. It was as if a real mountain was pressing down on them. He wanted An Le and Ye Wenxi, who were standing upright, to bend down and lower their backs towards him. However, An Le and Ye Wenxi stood upright.

A moment later.

Emperor Zhao gently slapped his hand on the armrest, and an unquestionable aura suddenly surged from his body. “Since the two of you are unwilling to compete, forget it. Since An Le is the top in both the martial and literary examinations, he will naturally be the top scholar. Ye Wenxi will be the second place, and Wang Qilin will be the third place.”

“There’s no need to discuss anything else.”

As soon as he said this, the civil and military officials below fell silent.

Even Prime Minister Qin did not raise any objections because he knew that since the Emperor had said so, he would definitely be unlucky if he came out to disobey.

Although An Le had become the top scholar, he had disobeyed the Emperor’s wishes. This naturally made the Emperor unhappy. Qin Lishi had achieved his goal.

Li You’an, Ouyang Xiangru, Madam Hua, and the others did not expect things to suddenly pass so easily.

Emperor Zhao actually didn’t continue pursuing this matter.

However, An Le’s words just now had indeed blocked Emperor Zhao from taking further action. After all, he had personally witnessed the sequence of the examination. If he continued to question it, wouldn’t it be as if there was something wrong with Emperor Zhao’s eyes?

Outside the Heavenly Profound Palace, the pressure suddenly dissipated.

An Le and Ye Wenxi seemed to smile at each other because of their tacit understanding just now.

Emperor Zhao sat upright on the Emperor’s throne.

The atmosphere in the court was heavy.

Eunuch Tong, who was beside the Emperor’s throne, slowly walked out. The spear, saber, and bow behind him immediately began to emit a majestic

Dharma treasure aura.

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

Light flickered.

The spear, saber, and longbow were instantly enveloped by boundless spiritual energy and energy and floated to the center of the Heavenly Profound Palace. The civil and military officials retreated and stood quietly on both sides.

Everyone was shocked. They looked at the three floating treasures with complicated expressions.

The top three of the Hall Examination could be rewarded with Dharma treasures.

This was also the highlight of the Hall Examination.

However, no one expected that the top scholar of this Hall Examination…

would be a youth that no one had ever thought of before.

It was an extremely dazzling young man who had gathered an invincible aura and was stepping on the legendary path.

Originally, everyone thought that Prime Minister Qin had facilitated the use of Storm Calming as a reward for the Hall Examination to force the Lin Residence to act.The source of thɪs content is novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.ɴet

Now that An Le, who was very close to the Lin Residence, had become the top scholar, Prime Minister Qin’s plan would probably fail.

His gaze was sharp.

He looked outside the Heavenly Profound Palace and spoke in a sharp voice. “Third place, Wang Qilin. Enter the hall and receive your reward!”

Wang Qilin was dressed in luxurious clothes. His entire body seemed to be burning with flames. He raised his head and puffed out his chest. Step by step, he stepped onto the stairs and crossed the White Jade Vermilion Steps.

Under the gazes of the civil and military officials, he stepped into the palace.

He cupped his fists and bowed to the high and mighty Emperor’s throne.

On the Emperor’s throne.

The corners of Emperor Zhao’s lips curled up as he said a few words. After Eunuch Tong lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, a hint of surprise seemed to flash across his pale and beardless face.

He walked forward and looked at Wang Qilin, who was cupping his fists below, before speaking again in a sharp voice.

“His Majesty said that the Wang family’s Qilin Son performed well in the Hall Examination. As the third place of the Spring Quarter Examination, he’ll be specially bestowed with the treasure saber, Storm Calming…”

As soon as this was said…

Hearing this, Wang Qilin’s scalp went numb. He looked up in disbelief. What the hell?

The entire palace fell into dead silence.

On the Emperor’s throne, Emperor Zhao’s gaze had a hint of mockery..
