Jin Chen's question, however, stumped the chief examiner.
The countless examination papers, reviewed repeatedly by a hundred examiners, led to endless disputes in the end.
Especially for this examination, involving a contest between Spirit Warriors, this old dignitary was a thoroughbred civil servant.
He was a veteran minister from the Emperor's era, naturally holding the Emperor in the highest esteem, thus more biased towards Xin Lin.
However, when it really came down to the details, the old dignitary couldn't quite articulate a clear reason.
"Jin Chen, are you not convinced? Fine, I'll let you understand why you only deserve third place. Do you want to know why your answer only merits third?"
Xin Lin did not say much; she turned to Captain Yang and requested a set of brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Then, with the swish of her brush, three sets of examination papers appeared in front of her after a quarter of an hour.
