"Could it be that he simply gave up on the exam?"
Under the Vermilion Bird Gate, dressed in a wide-sleeved robe, Xi Yangyu raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
At this moment, Chen Danqiu had finished reciting the obscure, lengthy, and tedious pre-exam declaration, and the candidates began to enter the venue one after another.
Pei Jing, Yong Hongzhong, Chou Jinghuan…
Those familiar names surfaced in his mind as they entered through the Vermilion Bird Gate one by one. The queue behind was getting shorter, and the face from Yizhou was nowhere to be seen.
Not coming is perhaps for the better.
Xi Yangyu's lips curved into a faint smile.
How coincidental.
Pei Jing looked at the list of exam venues posted on the wooden board in the courtyard, slightly raising his eyebrows in surprise.
He Fanshuang, Li Ang, Pei Jing, Chou Jinghuan…
All were familiar names. But…
"Did that young man really not come?"
