The Education Palace within the Green Leaf World did not know day or night, and people inside also found it difficult to sense the passage of time, so they were unaware that in the real world, it was already the next day

As the time approached noon, the peddlers outside seized the opportunity to hawk their wares with all their ht The area beyond the perimeter of the stone pillars was incredibly lively, and of the various scents of food filling the area, that of osmanthus cakes was the most distinct

The common people who had come to see the Grand Examination encircled the Li Palace and discussed the news that would occasionally e spectacles on the testing grounds, but the mood was in no way affected by this The atmosphere was incredibly enthusiastic, and it h the contributions of the storytellers

In the streets outside the Li Palace, one would find a tea house every ten or so zhang An ordinary table could usually be found outside these tea houses, and in front of their respective tables, the storytellers, dressed in their long gowns or cotton jackets, with phleg, constantly described the events taking place in the Education Palace Either these storytellers or the bosses behind them had some sort of connection to the people in the Li Palace, as events that had taken place only a few rounds of the Grand Examination would soon after became the contents of their story, and without much deviation from reality

In the southwest corner was a relatively secluded tea house It was rather elegantly decorated, but not even this tea house was able to keep its refinement today It had especially invited a storyteller into its nificant sued storyteller, with his lean and focused expression, slapped his wooden clapper and said, ”It is said that one can faintly see their reflection in the waters of the Qu River Each exa on water to cross the river or transfor cloud Eventually, that youth from the Orthodox Academy was the last one For a moment, both sides of the river were absolutely quiet, everyone wondering just how this youth would cross the river Who would have thought that they would hear the cry of a crane on the horizon? The White Crane had returned!”

At this point, the storyteller clapped his wooden clappers again, giving the attentive patrons of the tea house a fright He then slowly narrated, ”At the ti at the banks of the Qu River, just about as duht now You were all shocked by this little old man, but those examinees were shocked by the White Crane Why? Because immediately afterwards, that youth of the Orthodox Acadele world, picked up his front lapel and sat on the back of the crane, soaring into the sky and reaching the other shore This was truly riding a crane down onto Jiangnan; that's hoondrous this sight was!”

The tea house burst into a hubbub of discussion

The storyteller chuckled ”Ladies and gentlemen, there is no need to discuss this After all, all the exa in the Grand Examination, whether from a sect or school, have all probably seen ie beasts, but ere they so flabbergasted? Because no one had ever thought that this sort of method could be used to cross the river Yet what stunned them even more was that this white crane was not any ordinary white crane, but the White Crane of the capital's Divine General of the East's estate!”

The noise of conversation in the roorew louder Many people of the capital knew that a white crane had been raised in the Divine General of the East's estate, but it had not been seen ement that had been the talk of the town and couldn't help but be curious over why the White Crane illing to carry that youth of the Orthodox Academy across

”It seeotten and should know that that white crane had followed Young Lady Xu to the distant Holy Maiden Peak in the south Why did it suddenly appear thousands of li away in the capital? Could it be that Young Lady Xu really has recognized that Orthodox Academy youth as her fiancé? Then what sort of reaction would those four brilliant disciples of the Mount Li Sword Sect have?”

The storyteller lightly coughed and took a sip of warh one or two patrons fu it today was cheating them of their money, the vast majority of people still obediently put out money

The storyteller was very satisfied at the copper coins in his plate, cleared his throat, and continued his story of the Grand Examination The patrons all attentively listened, so no one noticed aoff his tea and walking out of the tea house Thisit difficult to see his face After exiting the tea house, he mixed into the crowd and quickly vanished

After a while, this ed man appeared outside an inn four li away from the Li Palace He took two dark red pills fro, he was finally able to suppress his injuries As he lay down on his bed to rest, his baes could be seen in his black hair

In the afternoon, the business of all the tea houses got even better than before, but the narratives of the storytellers seerades for the Grand Exaers or assistants from the various tea houses went to the front of the Li Palace to copy down the rankings and then returned to relay them to their patrons

The nas was a student frotao The common people had no impressions of this name, so there was naturally little to discuss about it, only a few jeers and so run Xuanyuan Po's ranking was very poor, Tang Thirty-Six was ranked seventh, Zhuang Huanyu was ranked sixth, and the four scholars from Scholartree Manor had all done stupendously, every one of the up in the top ten Of course, what everyone cared about the most were the two na had been ranked first and second respectively, and the two na'

The patrons enthusiastically discussed the final rankings for the literary test, clicking their tongues in a as they sighed in praise Tourists fro provinces who had come especially to the capital to see the Grand Examination were very confused at this Even if they were ranked in front, what need was there for such praise?

One of the people of the capital explained that the literary test of the Grand Exa, and only theof exa' What was ' was that all the ansere correct That Gou Hanshi+ and Chen Changsheng were bothmeant that their answers had been perfect It ht It had been quite a few years since such a situation had occurred
