Chapter 1986 - 1988: Congratulations in Advance

Chapter 1986: Chapter 1988: Congratulations in Advance

When asked about this matter, Young Master Liu sat there with a hint of embarrassment.

Today’s exam questions were somewhat difficult for him; he couldn’t answer them at all and was sweating profusely. In contrast, Yang Ming beside him was calm and collected, quickly taking up his pen as if the questions hadn’t troubled him at all.

Seeing the astonishment of the two, he was unwilling to accept it.

Back in the Academy, Yang Ming always outperformed him. After being away from the Academy for so long, he thought that with one year of difference, he could surpass Yang Ming this time. However, the result was still not in his favor.

His hand hanging by his side unconsciously clenched, but he didn’t want to let others laugh at him, so he still wore a smile on his face, "Today’s exam questions aren’t too difficult, we’ll see how the next two rounds go."

These words unmistakably conveyed to everyone that he did quite well in the exam.

Once he said this, everyone started congratulating him.

"Congratulations, Brother Liu. It looks like you’ll definitely pass this Autumnal Exam."

"I heard that Brother Liu had excellent grades in the Academy, and it seems that’s indeed true. Today’s exam was challenging for us, yet Brother Liu, you are more knowledgeable than us."

"Yes, Brother Liu, if you achieve high marks someday, don’t forget us, your fellow strugglers."

"..."

One compliment after another left Young Master Liu feeling a bit elated, as if he truly had passed; the feeling of being praised by others made him tremendously enjoy it and find it immensely beneficial.

"Everyone flatters me; if I do pass in the future, I certainly won’t forget any of you."

Just after saying this, Yang Ming entered with Xiaoxiao and the others, having heard those words as soon as they arrived.

Upon seeing Yang Ming, the complexion on Young Master Liu’s face immediately turned pale.

Yang Ming didn’t seem to mind and walked straight in.

After seeing Yang Ming, everyone inevitably wanted to ask, for after all, they were all staying in the same inn, as candidates, eager to know how others fared in the exam.

Initially, the atmosphere was awkward especially with Wang Kui present, making it hard to get acquainted.

However, after spending the entire day yesterday at the inn, Yang Ming managed to get acquainted with them, so now someone dared to ask. ℴℴ𝘮

"Brother Yang, how was the exam just now? Most of us didn’t do well, except Brother Liu who did pretty well. How about you?"

With a slight smile on his lips, Yang Ming replied, "I didn’t do too well either; the questions were quite difficult."

Upon hearing this, everyone started comforting him.

"No worries, no worries, none of us did particularly well."

"Yes, yes, you are still young. If it doesn’t work out this time, there’s always three years later, unlike us who are a bit older and running out of time."

"Yes, it seems that only Brother Liu from our inn has any hope now."

"..."

"..."

Upon hearing what Yang Ming said, the expression on Young Master Liu’s face was quite extraordinary, alternating between blue and white.

Seeing everyone turn to console Yang Ming, his face turned black with a trace of disdain for these people. Just a moment ago, they were flattering him, and now they were getting chummy with Yang Ming, leaving him with a feeling of being neglected.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard Yang Ming’s voice, "Brother Liu, congratulations in advance. Seeing you sweating profusely in the exam room, I thought you didn’t do well either. Initially, I thought of comforting you outside, but you disappeared as soon as you left the examination room."
