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

Chapter 85: September's Talented Individuals Announced, My Name Known Throughout the City

"Click!"

The door gently closed.

Hu Yu'er sat in place, seemingly still in a daze.

That impressive man,

Left with the words, "Shall we go on a date next time~" and departed in a carefree manner.

She had never seen someone like him before.

Passionate and direct, without any pretense, full of aggression.

Completely lacking the reserved and hypocritical nature of a scholar.

Expressing a concept that was completely different from the subtle affection of this world.

Speaking frankly about his admiration for her beautiful face, straightforwardly inviting her.

She had once charmed and captivated countless men, causing them to fall for her, to be infatuated, to abandon their wives and children...

But later, a sorcerer cursed her with the grievances of countless women,

Ruining her appearance, destroying her voice, cursing her to never experience pure and beautiful love.

Although she killed that sorcerer, the curse remained unresolved.

Later, she came here,

Presenting herself as "Hu Yu'er," making a name for herself with her stunning appearance.

She enjoyed watching these ordinary people fall for her beauty,

Enjoyed seeing them conceal their true intentions, wrapped in deep affection, chasing after her in various amusing ways.

And then mocking, despising,

There was no deep affection in the mortal world, no pure love.

It was all just lust.

Until now,

This exceptionally talented and stunning man,

In front of everyone's eyes, presented her with those beautiful poems.

Then he entered her room and, with a burning gaze, said, "Would you like to have a sweet romance with me?"

She had never seen someone like him before.

She walked to the desk,

Picked up the line "In my thoughts, clothes are like clouds, and your face is like flowers" from the poem.

Staring at it blankly, thinking of that man's handsome face.

Unconsciously, she touched the corner of her lips,

Does this count as... being attracted by appearance?

"She's on the gold list!"

"She's on the gold list!"

"She's on the gold list!"

"The top scorer, Bai Yu! Haha, it really is Bai Yu! This outsider is really amazing!"

"The second place is again Ji Guangchong."

"Bai Yu... truly extraordinary. I heard that the daughter of a wealthy family would pay a fortune for a single word..."

"Bai Yu seems quite young, right? Is she married?"

In September, the gold list is posted, and the whole city knows my name!

These were the words Bai Yu said to the Li brothers she met on the way to the imperial examination.

And now, as time passes by,

Everything seems... effortlessly realized!

The palace examination is the final test,

Just like the college entrance examination in the previous life, it naturally attracts everyone's attention.

The excitement is higher than the previous provincial examination.

And the person at the top of the list naturally becomes the focus of everyone's attention.

The top scorer!

Bai Yu!

Everyone thinks it's only natural,

But when it actually happens, it still astonishes people.

That talented young scholar from another place,

Like a rising and brilliant star, enters everyone's sight and becomes the hottest topic of discussion.

In the tavern,

"Hahaha, Young Master Bai became the top scorer!"

"Today, everyone can eat and drink as much as they want!"

"All expenses are on the house."

The whole city is discussing Bai Yu's name.

It's the same here!

The innkeeper Li waves his hand and laughs heartily.

He has encountered a true dragon!

That day, the young man with dazzling eyes confidently told him about the three strategies worth a hundred gold.

He immediately felt that this person was extraordinary.

At that time, he had already vaguely foreseen today.

...

He really did it.

And all of this... is just the beginning!

Could this ordinary person also leave a simple name in the glorious epic legend of this person?

"Hahaha, great! We can also bask in the glory of the top scholar!"

"Hey, we can't call him young master anymore! We have to call him sir!"

"Innkeeper Li, did Sir Bai really stay here before?"

"Did Sir Bai leave behind any poems or treasures of calligraphy?"

The patrons in the tavern were also in high spirits, raising their glasses and making noisy cheers.

The same situation was happening in various other corners as well.

At the gate of Lietian City,

Three strong men carrying simple luggage paid the toll and entered the city.

"Brother, where should we look for Lord Bai?"

As soon as they entered this bustling city,

The three brothers who grew up in the countryside were a bit at a loss.

They looked around,

Coincidentally, they saw a guard posting a notice on the city wall, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

"Old man, what does it say on there?"

The eldest brother remembered what Bai Yu had told them before they left,

Pointing at the notice, he couldn't help but ask the kind-looking old man.

The old man glanced at them and smiled, "This is the list of the imperial examination! It shows the final results of the exam."

"... Old man, who is listed on there?"

"The top scholar is Bai Yu, the second place is Ji Guangsui, and the third is Zhi Jie."

"Do you know who they are?"

The old man cleared his throat, wanting to share his knowledge with these country bumpkins.

But he didn't see that

When the three brothers heard the first name he mentioned, their whole bodies trembled.

Bai Yu!

Zhuang... Zhuangyuan Lang!

This is true!!!

What His Excellency said that day... it actually came true.

The brothers exchanged glances, but they saw the shock in each other's eyes.

His Excellency... truly extraordinary!

The two guards at the door also trembled.

The name Bai Yu...

They actually had an impression of it.

After all, he was the one who didn't pay them and boldly entered the city, paying for his own transportation expenses out of his own pocket.

There aren't many people like him.

Luckily, they had good judgment... luckily, they didn't offend him!

*******

"Your Majesty, Saint An!"

Famous throughout Lieling, the person everyone in the city is talking about?

In the Hall of Diligent Governance,

Bai Yu approached the Supreme Ruler,

As always, he didn't kneel, only bowed: "Minister Bai Yu, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

From now on, he would start his official career!

Thinking about it, he felt a little excited.

Looking at this young and elegant scholar, the expression on the old emperor's face was a bit strange.

As soon as he saw him,

He remembered that infuriating test paper.

In history, such a test paper could only produce the top scholar, it was unique!

But, unexpectedly, such a talented person entered the court,

And he was extremely delighted.

Which normal emperor wouldn't be delighted to have an SSR in his court?

Complex emotions intertwined in his heart,

For a moment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Someone, grant a seat to our top scholar!"

Ps: Tomorrow is the college entrance examination, I wish all the candidates to achieve outstanding results like Bai Yu!
