Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1018: Chapter 59 Shocking! Great Emperor Targets Wang Anye?_3 Chapter 1018: Chapter 59 Shocking! Great Emperor Targets Wang Anye?_3 Together with Wu Zhixing, this “child,” five individuals were already seated separately, and tools such as brushes, ink, and white paper had been provided by an eunuch. To prevent cheating, they were spaced far apart, each constantly watched by an eunuch behind them.

Wang Liling and Wang Yuxuan were nearly scared to tears by this spectacle, having originally hoped to copy from Wang Anye, but their hopes were dashed, leaving them in despair.

Hehe~ Emperor Longchang greatly enjoyed the situation before him, and he planned to smear the children’s exam results in Wang Shouzhe’s face, mockingly laughing at him, “Wang Family School, huh? Is this the level?”

“You, Wang Shouzhe, with such little ability, dare to criticize and discuss behind my back? Better wash up and go to sleep, what’s the use of participating in the competition for the Emperor’s son? Acting as if you’re a hermit from another world.”

“Clang!”

The examination gong sounded.

Wang Anye didn’t start writing immediately but first cautiously reviewed the examination paper. Slowly scanning from the beginning, his expression gradually turned solemn and puzzled. What was going on with this paper? And what were these questions?

It was Wu Zhixing, however, who after glancing at the questions, picked up his pen and began swiftly working through them. Clearly, he too was well-prepared, and despite having forgotten much due to his age, his foundation remained.

But Wu Xuening was somewhat scratching her head. After working on two or three questions, she began biting her pen, looking deep in thought.

The two dunces from the Wang family didn’t even dare look at their papers. Stumbling through their own Clan School’s coursework, let alone testing on the Royal Clan Studies paper, which sounded much more advanced, wasn’t it obvious that even Anye was pondering?

None of the three Wang children had started writing, which made Emperor Longchang laugh even harder. Turning to Old Yao, he said, “Old Yao, you might guess whether these three little ones can score a perfect score combined?”

“Your Majesty, about these questions…” Wang Anye raised his hand, wanting to say something.

But he was interrupted by Emperor Longchang, “Focus on your exam, talk after it’s over.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Wang Anye reluctantly bowed his head to the test, writing slowly but with great steadiness.

Seeing this, Wang Liling and Wang Yuxuan also bit their lips, ready to give it their all. Now that things had come to this, they couldn’t just hand in a blank paper, right? If they did, they feared they might be beaten to death when they got home.

Well, may as well die with some dignity; let’s do what we can to die beautifully.

Then the two of them began to review the questions and start writing…

“Is this it?”

First, Wang Yuxuan’s eyes widened, finding it unbelievable. Could it be that the Imperial family’s paper started with a freebie question? Good, at least they wouldn’t have to hand in a blank sheet. Then swish swish swish, she completed the first question.

Looking at the second question, eh, the Imperial paper is so friendly? Very good, very good, Military God Wang Yuxuan takes another city.

The third question, the fourth question, the fifth question… Wang Yuxuan was unstoppable, sweeping through the exam.

“Awesome, I’ve never had such fun during an exam in my entire life!”. Wang Yuxuan’s heart began to swell, “It seems like the recent hard work and practice with the sisters were not in vain. I, Wang Yuxuan, am a true academic god, a hidden genius scholar-beauty! Wahaha~” Not just Wang Yuxuan, even Wang Liling began to solve problems smoothly, though her pace was slow and faltering. But this was already the fastest she had ever written in an exam.

As she was writing, her confidence grew: “Eunuch, come here and tie the pen to my claw; holding it is too tiring.” She felt she had suddenly become enlightened, “So it turns out, I, Wang Liling, am already a cultured dragon.”

Emperor Longchang’s expression gradually grew serious as he turned and said, “Old Yao, they weren’t just scribbling nonsense, were they?”

“Replying to Your Majesty, I have already summoned a teacher from the Royal Clan Studies; we’ll know once we review the test afterwards,” said Old Yao.

“Yes, after the papers are graded, their true colors will show.” Emperor Longchang reassured himself with a slight nap, waking up just as the exam ended, the papers graded.

He took the stack of papers from Old Yao, the first one being Wu Zhixing’s flawless paper.

Emperor Longchang nodded with satisfaction, “Zhixing, this child, is much more stable and diligent than others; reward him with one hundred thousand Qian Gold.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Wu Zhixing bowed in gratitude, without a trace of arrogance or impatience.

The second paper was Wu Xuening’s, with quite a few mistakes, scoring only sixty-five, but still a passing grade.

The one hundred point scale of Da Qian’s examinations was inherited from the Immortal Dynasty. The Immortal Dynasty’s grading scale was said to have originated from the Divine Martial Dynasty. Why the Divine Martial Dynasty used a percentage system is still undetermined by archaeologists.

Wu Xuening’s low score slightly displeased Emperor Longchang, who said to Old Yao, “Tell the Clan School teacher to pay more attention to Princess Xuening’s performance. If it happens again, I will take their heads.”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Old Yao complied.

Embarrassed, Wu Xuening hung her head low, not daring to breathe too loudly. Fortunately, with the Three Little Ones of the Wang Family anchoring the bottom, she wasn’t in trouble today.

She estimated that because this paper was harder than usual, Wang Anye might barely pass. As for Wang Liling and Wang Yuxuan, they exuded the familiar aura of academic dunces, just like her.

However, Emperor Longchang’s interest today was not in Wu Xuening. After a brief pressuring reprimand, he focused his attention on the next paper.

“Eh? Seventy-three points…” Emperor Longchang was momentarily shocked by this score. He looked closely, and it was written by Wang Liling. Although the handwriting wasn’t pleasing, it was meticulously done, clearly the result of hard work.
