”Mislead?” Fang Zhengzhi glanced at Ping Yang with disdain. How could he have misled Yan Xiu when the examination was in such an open area.
However...
How could he fail?
Even though he did not know what were the key pointers to look out for in a policy paper in this world, he was confident about his ”New Six Nations”.
”If what Wu Feng says is true, how is it possible that both of you didn’t receive the invite to meet with the Emperor?” Wen Dabao was confused.
”The meaning of the policy.” Yan Xiu said softly.
”The meaning?” Wen Dabao was confused. He had no idea what the question was, so he had no way of understanding what Yan Xiu meant.
However, at this point, the melodious music wafted out of the Intellectual Loft. It was intoxicating and calming.
”Let’s go inside first. How can we enjoy the music at the door?” Ping Yang did not seem bothered about whether Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu passed or failed.
Before Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu could say anything, she dragged them both into the loft.
Wen Dabao followed behind without any objection.
Once they were inside, Fang Zhengzhi realized that the ‘fireworks’ here were quite different from those he knew. There was no intoxicating lights here, only poetic and elegant art.
The inside of the loft felt like a circus tent. It was completely empty inside, with four staircases leading up to the second floor.
In the middle of the loft were dozens of tables filled with snacks and wine. There were scenic paintings all over the ceiling.
On the second floor were eight slightly raised platforms. There was a lady in a long dress on each platform, their faces covered by a white veil.
Each one of them had a different instrument.
On the third floor of the loft were four floating stages. They were in the directions of north, south, east, and west. There was a lady in a long dress on each stage.
Their dresses were in four different colors - green, red, gold, and white.
Fang Zhengzhi glanced at it. He had a feeling that the Intellectual Loft was set up rather uniquely. There were four staircases, eight stages in the middle, and four floating stages at the top.
”Four Symbols, Bagua!”
...
”Oh? Fang Zhengzhi is here!”
”And Yan Xiu... greetings Princess Ping Yang!”
Very quickly, all of the talents at the center table saw Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu. Then, when they saw Ping Yang between the two gentlemen, they all stood up.
The owner of the Intellectual Loft recognized Ping Yang instantly.
The moment Ping Yang was seen, a thirty year old lady in a white dress came to them.
”Your highness, do you want your usual seat?”
”Of course.” Ping Yang raised her head haughtily.
”Your highness, please hang on a moment. I will arrange for it right now.”
”Do it quickly.”
”Yes your highness.”
Before long, they were all led to a table in the middle of the loft. From this position, Fang Zhengzhi could see all of the art inside the Intellectual Loft.
PIng Yang looked at the seat, then blinked at Fang Zhengzhi. It was almost as if she was showing off her experience to Fang Zhengzhi.
”Not bad.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
”Hahaha... of course it’s not bad.” Ping Yang smiled immediately when she heard this.
All of the other talents looked on scornfully. The talents who had just been chased out of the seat brooded by the side.
”They will always be failures!”
”We will see who has the last laugh when the results are announced tomorrow.”
”Young Master Wu, tell us more about your policy. It will also allow some others to understand their lack of abilities.”
”Hahaha...”
Very quickly, chuckles could be heard from around them.
”Today’s meeting should be about making friends and sharing knowledge. We should all make merry and enjoy the art. Let’s not talk about the policy paper.” Wu Feng waved all the other talents off, smiling as he did so.
”Young Master Wu, you are wrong there. The policy paper is the only component of the court theory examination. Anyone who can produce such stunning work is better than those who just memorize the Law of Dao!”
”Exactly. Young Master Wu already called this a gathering of intellectuals, why hold back?”
