Di Chen never thought that Xiao Shengnan's body would actually be so good, yet he had to disguise himself as a man, what kind of belt would he use to wrap his chest, it was truly a pity for his good figure.

Xiao Shengnan looked down blankly. Only then did he realise how bright it was, and his face immediately flushed red. He saw Di Chen staring at him without blinking.

He was so angry that he scolded loudly, "You hoodlum!"

He slapped Di Chen across the face and then kicked Di Chen's butt, sending him flying out of the room.

With a red five-finger mark on his face, Di Chen rubbed his butt as he walked step by step back into the room.

When Lin Tao saw this scene, his body couldn't help but twitch. He was obviously laughing.

Di Chen walked over and unhappily kicked him: "I'm laughing your head off. I said that the one I wanted to go to, was you, yet you ran away in the nick of time without a shred of loyalty. Don't expect me to bring you along for such a good thing in the future."

"Don't!" Lin Tao sat up and laughed: "It's not like I don't know how savage that Young Master Xiao is. I'm just protecting myself, isn't it better for you to suffer alone than for both of us? Furthermore, it's because of me that you have the chance to be alone with that beauty Xiao, right brother?

"Cut the crap, but I have to remind you, Xiao Shengnan is a girl, you must not go out, otherwise she will definitely kill you or me!" Di Chen said solemnly.

"Alright, I understand!" Lin Tao nodded his head.

Two days later, Di Chen and Xiao Shengnan finished their preparations and headed to the examination hall together. Shang Yu and the other two originally wanted to follow along, but Di Chen rejected them, because the Imperial Examinations were forbidden to allow outsiders entry. Even if they followed, they could only wait outside the walls far away.

The Jin Gongzi who came to look for trouble did not appear again. It was as if he had received a lesson and knew that Di Chen was not easy to deal with, thus he hid away!

"Why did you offend the Jin Gongzi?" The two walked side by side towards the examination grounds. Xiao Shengnan turned his head and asked.

Di Chen laughed bitterly: "There will always be bored people in this world. It's not that I want to provoke him, it's him who has come to cause trouble. But is the Jin Gongzi very powerful? It's all in the past now, why are you mentioning him? "

Xiao Shengnan replied: "Even if I say it's powerful, it's not very impressive. But the Jin family still has some power in the Hong Huang City, and the Jin family's Family Head is a fourth tier official in the imperial government. He has a lot of resources, and it's still easy to deal with someone like you who has no background or backing. I hope that Jin Gongzi will let bygones be bygones, or else you will definitely be in endless trouble! "

Di Chen raised the corner of his mouth and laughed disdainfully: "I, Di Chen, have never been afraid of trouble before. If he dares to come find me, I'll let him know how to write the wrong words."

"Don't be too confident, this is not Ling'an City!" Xiao Shengnan reminded his.

Di Chen laughed, and did not take it to heart. What could a little Jin Gongzi do to him?

"What about you? "Why are you helping me?" Di Chen turned his head and asked playfully.

Xiao Shengnan laughed: "Because I feel that there are more than one path for us to take!"

"Alright, we've arrived at the examination hall." The two of them looked up. In front of them was a large courtyard with only one entrance. Currently, countless examinees were entering the exam grounds. However, they would need to submit their test papers before entering the exam grounds.

Di Chen and Xiao Shengnan also followed the crowd into the examination hall. After showing their examination certificates, Di Chen discovered that the examination rooms were all one room, separated by one room. In the room, there was even a screen to separate the seats, preventing cheating and plagiarism. Coincidentally, he and Xiao Shengnan were actually taking the examination in the same room.

"How confident are you?" Xiao Shengnan asked Di Chen.

Di Chen woodenly shook his head: "I don't have confidence!"

When it came to the liberal arts exam, he really did not have much confidence. When it came to reading the four books and the five classics, he did not have much pressure and only regret was that his writing was too lousy. After so long, he had been practicing writing, but unfortunately he had not made any progress.

There were only the few formula s in the Heaven's Letter Sutra that he could write well, but the other words that he could write were like mud fish crawling around, hard to look at.

Apart from the examiners, there were also soldiers staring at the handle. The atmosphere was solemn, and no smiles could be seen on their faces.

Di Chen and Xiao Shengnan sat at their respective seats, the examiner gave out the exam papers, and then began to answer the questions.

Di Chen looked at the exam papers, and as expected, many of the questions were questions that he was familiar with, he had read them countless of times and had already memorized them thoroughly. Without stopping, he started to quickly answer them, and after finishing last night, all that was left of him were his essays.

The topic was "An Analysis of the Rules of Survival of the World".

This was a very profound question!

Di Chen frowned, the final article had a huge number of points, but in reality, he only had forty points for the answer questions, while the final article only had sixty points, so to most scholars, this final article was something that would give them a headache.

Many of the examinees had expended much more energy on the last article compared to the previous ones.

Di Chen looked at the question, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly thought of something, the words surged in his head like a tide, he could not help but write it down in the article, in the beginning it was fine, just a bit of restraint, but afterwards he completely let go of everything, he could not control himself at all.

He was completely unaware that while he was writing, the energy around him fluctuated because of his writing. One character after another spun around him, forming a circle with him in the middle. Fortunately, there was a barrier that blocked everyone's exam. Otherwise, if anyone saw him like this, they would probably be scared stiff.

This kind of essay should have at most ended with three thousand words, but Di Chen had written five thousand words in an extremely lively and lively manner.

"The heavens and earth are heartless, everything is a ruminant dog, the saints are heartless, the commoners are a ruminant dog. All living things cannot be avoided, there is no limit to the cycle. Man has his structure, and his morality has fallen …"

After he finished writing, Di Chen was drenched in sweat, his entire body was relaxed and comfortable, he had never experienced such a feeling before, the words around had also disappeared, he held his breath, looking inside his body, he realised that the power of speech had increased by a large amount, no, it was a breakthrough. Although his cultivation had broken through to Lifestealer Realm previously.

However, the rank of the scholar had always remained at level eight without many improvements, and this exam had actually raised him directly to level nine, or even more. He was only one step away from level ten, and with this progress, he should be able to break through to level ten very soon.

What surprised him even more was that the words written on the paper were beyond his imagination. He did not understand!

The words on the exam paper were extremely hard and strong, it was something Di Chen had never written before.

What was going on?

Could this have something to do with his cultivation of the power of speech? Was it because he had been cultivating as a scholar and had a broken brush in his hands that he had entered that state?

Di Chen could not understand, this matter was too profound, he had to study it carefully first.

After handing in the exam papers, all the examinees left. Di Chen and Xiao Shengnan left together with ease, and couldn't help but want to discuss the results of the exam. Xiao Shengnan asked: "Regarding the last question, what do you think?"

Di Chen shook his head: "I don't really understand, I am just writing as I please, but in reality, I don't know if it's good or not, I will have to rely on the main examiner to judge."

Xiao Shengnan raised the corner of his mouth and laughed: "In truth, that question is very interesting. It is worth pondering over, do you know? Part of the questions on the paper were given by the examiner of the school, while the other part was given by the son of Heaven. From the way things were going, the last question was definitely given by the son of Heaven. As for today's question, if one were to write it in reverse, not only would they not be able to hit the top scholar, but they could also take on the name of rebellion in succession through the nine generations. If you write too poorly, you will naturally have no connection with the top scholar. That is, to take the middle ground! "

When Di Chen heard this, he immediately widened his eyes in shock. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat;

Did he touch a sensitive point? Is it a rebellion?

In fact, he wrote that article in great detail today, which mainly discussed a point of view. That is, people are all selfish existences. Whether it is in the big world or small markets, people are all rushing for their own benefit. And finally, he explained that in this world, people were only one species. Loving oneself was the way to go!

His article was a bit ahead of schedule, and he wondered if His Majesty would be able to accept it today.

Xiao Shengnan revealed a smile: "Don't be nervous, you're already sweating from fright, it's not that serious. The results will be released in ten days. Then we will know the result! "

Di Chen shook his head and laughed bitterly: "I do not have any hope, but Young Master Xiao, since you understand it so well, you should definitely be able to go to high school.

Previously, he could not cultivate, so he had hoped for this shortcut to allow himself to stand up. But it was different now, he could already cultivate, and with the various opportunities that he had, getting on the list was no longer his only choice. His insistence on taking the Imperial Examinations was only to hone the power of speech in his body.

There were some benefits to this – at least he had broken through to level 9 as a scholar, and his body was brimming with power of speech!

While talking, Di Chen returned to the tavern and prepared to take a good rest. Today's exam had a huge mental drain on him.

However, the moment he stepped into the inn, he saw Lin Tao lying on a chair by the side with a bloodied face. He was beaten black and blue, and it seemed as though he was struggling to even breathe.

Di Chen frowned, he anxiously leaned over and asked: "Lin Tao, what's the situation? How did you get beaten up like this?

Lin Tao looked at Di Chen with his swollen eyes, and emotionally grabbed onto Di Chen's sleeves and said with all his might: "The Jin Gongzi came again, and brought his men to capture Shang Yu and Qin Suer. I wanted to stop them, but they beat me up like a pig head. Di Chen, go save them quickly, you can't let that beast harm them! "
