“Do you know him?” Lan Su looked at his astonished daughter, curiously inquiring. “Well… I’ve barely crossed paths with him,” Lan Xi replied, subconsciously touching her chest and blushing. Unexpectedly, such a person… would produce such an answer sheet? “Whale sharks roam the rivers and seas; do they care about the shrimp food small fish are fighting over?” The disdainful look of that person remained vivid. He wasn’t boasting… He presented such an astonishing exam paper. Even…-

“To fulfil the king’s worldly duties, gain posthumous fame, pity the white hair that was in vain…” In the martial arts arena of General Zhenyuan’s residence, an aged general with silver hair tightly gripped a lengthy spear, gazing at the worn-out armour before him, lost in contemplation. Zhenyuan Marquis, General Wang Piyue, a seasoned warrior for fifty years, a veteran of three dynasties, renowned for his military exploits. As the Zhenyuan Marquis, he held great esteem in the military, and his…

“Bai Yu… Bai Yu… Bai Yu…” In the refined chambers of Huayue Tower, where music and dance flourished, a group of charismatic gentlemen and scholars gathered, exchanging cups and engaging in lively conversation. Seated amidst the splendour, they discussed the hottest topics of the day. “Who is Bai Yu?” “Not a resident of the capital!” “A mere rustic, how can he claim the top honours in this scientific examination?” “I disagree!” “What does Brother Ji think?” “In terms…

“Bai Yu? “Isn’t the top scorer Ji Guangchong from the university?” “I thought it was the eldest son of the Liu Scout’s family who would come out on top!” “I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it! It turned out to be this person!” “I heard that His Majesty once ordered to meet the candidate Bai Yu. Is it the same person?” … Under the expectant and apprehensive eyes of countless scholars and the gaze of ordinary people watching the excitement, guards in military armour…

A lot unfolded tonight. For instance, the covert actions of the green-clad secret guards resulted in the apprehension of officers overseeing the administration of imperial examinations. The Fourth Young Master Yang from Xinyuan Mansion and his henchmen, frightened to collapse, were arrested and imprisoned. Diners at the Flavor Tavern marvelled at the mysterious scholar Bai Yu. The current emperor was astonished by the once-in-a-millennium talent of the unicorn. After a millennium of cultivation, the…

The exceptionally talented young man departed, and everything returned to calm within the Hall of Diligent Governance. The anger and joy on Lan Su’s face subsided. He sat quietly in front of the desk, watching the direction in which Bai Yu was leaving, narrowing his eyes slightly. “Go and investigate!” “I want all of Bai Yu’s background information.” “Also, everything he’s done since he came to Capital City, anyone he meets… check it out!” “And Yaoyun, investigate that…

“Your Majesty, I have another request.” Listening to the old emperor’s ramblings wasn’t as pleasant as returning to the room and embracing Dragon Sister. Bai Yu didn’t want to work overtime. He was about to leave. Before leaving, he seemed to remember something and gestured towards Lan Su. “Go ahead!” Lan Su gave him an annoyed look. This guy pretended not to know, never mentioning the concept of governing as discussed in his exam paper. Although expected, it still annoyed him. “In…

“What needs to be said has been mostly said, right?” “Your Majesty, look, it’s getting late!” “Can I leave? My wife is still waiting for me at home!” “I’ve always refused to work overtime!” In the beginning, he was confident, full of swords and murderous intent, claiming to be the one who would destroy the country and the dynasty. With deep eyes, he spoke of becoming a legend, the brightest star in the river of time. This playful and carefree young man was also him. Lan Su was…

“You… youngsters! Just for that remark, I’ll give you eighty lashes!” Looking at Bai Yu with a disdainful expression. Lan Su suddenly doubted his status as the Ninth Five Supreme. No one would be disrespectful or unadmiring! This person… Bai Yu shrugged, “Your Majesty, is there a problem with what I said?” Unnatural, what he said seems a bit unreasonable. Although I didn’t understand the meaning of ‘Nine-Nine Six,’ working late into the night seemed challenging. Lan Su twitched…

“You!” Facing the intense gaze of the young man and hearing his convincing words, Lan Su knew he couldn’t argue with or control him, so he simply waved his hand. “Ah… let it be, let it be!” “Good lad!” He finally softened. What Bai Yu said had a condition. Although it went beyond control, Lan Su felt some fear from what Bai Yu had just said. But Lan Su sighed lightly, trying to regain control of his emotions. He calmed down and addressed Bai Yu, “I can’t argue with you; you…
