Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 49: The Announcement of the Examination Results, Instant Fame

A lot happened tonight.

For example, the secret operation of the Qingyi Guards, who secretly arrested officials involved in the examination supervision, marking, and copying.

For example, the terrified Yang Sizigongzi of Xinyuan Mansion and his gang of lackeys were captured and thrown into prison.

For example, the customers at the Flavorful Tavern were amazed by the mysterious scholar Bai Yu.

For example, the current emperor was shocked by the extraordinary talent of the millennium, the Qilin.

For example, the aloof and cold Long Xian, who had been cultivating for a thousand years, felt a sudden heartbeat, for reasons unknown...

...

Regardless, the night will pass.

Time will not stop for anyone.

The sun rose from the east the next day.

A new day has come.

"Your Highness, last night, His Majesty personally requested a meeting and invited a candidate named Bai Yu to the Diligent Governance Palace for a long discussion."

In the exquisitely decorated mansion,

A court-dressed eunuch bowed and reported to the young man sitting in the main seat.

"Bai Yu? A candidate?"

After a moment of contemplation, the young man asked, "What did they talk about?"

The eunuch shook his head gently and said, "I don't know."

"Hmm..."

"I see, you may leave!"

The young man nodded lightly at the words, waved his hand, and gestured for the eunuch to leave.

"Yes!"

The eunuch bowed again and slowly retreated.

"Bai Yu..."

Once again, only one person remained in the room.

He sat in the main seat, stroking his chin, silently pondering.

"Old ghost, do you know this person?"

He softly asked towards an empty space in the room.

"I don't know," a voice responded from the darkness, faintly visible.

"But..."

However, the voice suddenly changed its tone.

"Last night, I observed the celestial phenomena and saw a demonic star descending, an evil moon shrouding, two dragons entwined in conflict, and hidden dangers lurking everywhere. The heavenly mechanism is in chaos and unfathomable!"

"What? A demonic star? Unfathomable chaos?"

The young man's pupils suddenly contracted, and he slammed the table with a fierce force.

The immense power shattered the table, and wood chips flew in all directions.

"Is it Bai Yu?"

"I don't know!"

"Old ghost!!!!"

"You said that I would become the next king!!!! What is going on?!"

The figure flashed, and instantly appeared where the hoarse voice came from.

He grabbed the person's collar, his face twisted with anger.

"Your Highness, please calm down!"

"I have never said such words."

"I only said that your destiny is extraordinary, with the supreme command of the Black Dragon, slaying dragons and capturing tigers, swallowing mountains and rivers, becoming a hero in troubled times, a hero of the era."

"But..."

"People often only believe in what they are willing to believe."

"The theory of destiny is just the theory of destiny, Innate命, postnatal luck. No one can know how the future will be, where it will lead, ultimately it depends on Your Highness's fate and ability."

The man being grabbed by the collar in the darkness remained unmoved.

His voice was as hoarse and flat as ever, saying lightly, "Hmph!"

...

"Your Majesty, have you seen a candidate?"

"Check, who is he?"

...

"Bai Yu? He's not from the capital?"

"No need to bother with him!"

...

"Oh? The fourth son of the Xinyuan Mansion has been arrested?"

"Is it related to this person?"

...

The same thing happened in many noble mansions.

The name Bai Yu also entered the ears of many upper-class people.

Some may be interested and want to investigate further.

Some don't care and just treat it as information.

But how should I put it?

What Bai Yu said to Lansu earlier was correct.

What does it mean to be an emperor?

Too many people are watching you, too many people are plotting against you...

The security work in this palace is like a sieve, leaking everywhere.

Although it is not a secret that Bai Yu entered the palace in a high-profile manner,

Within half a day,

Many high-ranking figures knew about his plans...

Living these days feels like being live-streamed under a camera.

Who knows which card will be flipped over at night, and who will play poker with whom, everyone knows.

Bai Yu doesn't know what the old emperor is thinking,

But he definitely doesn't like it.

Bai Yu doesn't know that after one night of meeting, his name appeared in the sight of many people.

But... it doesn't matter.

It's a matter of time,

Even if he doesn't know now, he will know sooner or later!

For example, at this moment.

After three leisurely days,

The results of the imperial examination are out, and the golden list is posted throughout the city.

Scholars, enthusiastic spectators, ordinary people, and people in the political power center... all focus on this place.

Four thousand scholars sifted through the sand, five hundred heroes leaped through the dragon gate.

The unparalleled young man in the world, once famous, is known to all!

When the excited crowd looked at the golden list, the most dazzling name, Bai Yu, appeared before everyone's eyes.

Bai Yu!
