Chapter 219 The Spring Examination Day Arrives

Time flies like a white horse passing by, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the Spring Examination has arrived.

This spring examination is the path to success that all students in the world dream of, and it concerns their fate and future in life.

Qu Xinzhu is tasked by the system to become the top scholar. Qu Qingyan knows this very well, and she will not let Qu Xinzhu succeed easily. She is determined to win the title of the champion in this imperial examination.

Outside the Imperial Examination Hall, there was a crowd of people. A large number of students from all over the world gathered here with full of dreams and ambitions, ready to show their talents in the examination room.

Qu Qingyan disguised himself, still using the alias "Yan Qing", hiding in the crowd and walking steadily towards them.

Soon, her sharp eyes caught sight of Qu Xinzhu, who was also dressed as a man.

The Qu Xinzhu in front of him was a completely different person from before. His face was bloodless, showing a sickly paleness, fragile and haggard.

The bruises under her eyes were so heavy that even though she tried hard to cover them up, they still showed inadvertently. It was obvious at a glance that they were caused by long-term use of Wu Shi San.

Long-term dependence on such drugs has drained her energy and spirit, making her look extremely weak.

Qu Xinzhu is surrounded by a group of young talents.

Among them were the elegant No. 1 scholar Xiu Qing, the grandson of Marquis Pingyang Yan Changbai, and the genius doctor in white. Their eyes showed their concern for Qu Xinzhu. They either whispered to each other or took care of her attentively, always surrounding Qu Xinzhu, like the moon surrounded by stars.

"Zhu'er, don't worry. After all the careful advice I've given you over the past few days, with your intelligence, you will definitely stand out in this spring exam and win the top spot." Xiu Qing was the top scholar of the previous year, and his talent and knowledge were highly praised both inside and outside the court. He leaned slightly, with a gentle smile on his face, his eyes full of trust and expectations for Qu Xinzhu, and his tone was firm and confident, as if Qu Xinzhu's winning the top spot was a foregone conclusion.

Seeing Qu Xinzhu's pale face, which showed a bit of fatigue and worry, Yan Changbai's heart tightened, and he hurried forward to comfort her softly, "Zhu'er, your talent is obvious to all. Those poems and songs are just a piece of cake for you. In this imperial examination, in terms of talent and ability, who else can be worthy of the title of the top scholar except you? Don't worry, you will definitely pass."

"Zhu'er, don't be nervous, just let everything take its course. Your health is the most important thing right now." Liao Wuchen stood aside, his white clothes fluttering in the wind. Although his expression was calm, his eyes were full of deep concern for Qu Xinzhu.

Qu Xinzhu listened to their comforting words, but she was still worried.

In her previous life, she was just a person who loved fun and had no intention of studying. Although she could barely remember a few poems, the difficulty of the ancient imperial examination was beyond imagination. With only the shallow knowledge in her belly, she wanted to stand out from this group of students who had studied hard for many years and were dedicated to learning. It was really a slim hope, almost a fantasy.

[What is there to be afraid of? With this master here, the top spot this time belongs to you! ] At this moment, the weak but disdainful voice of the little one suddenly rang in my mind.

Hearing this, Qu Xinzhu couldn't help but snorted coldly and asked, "Didn't you swear before that you wouldn't interfere too much in this scientific expedition? How can you help me now?"

[If I hadn't been seriously injured, the top scholar this time would have been yours.] As Xiaoyaoer said this, he recalled the double attack of immortal arts and national destiny that day, and his voice trembled unconsciously, [Of course, since this master is not feeling well, it is inconvenient for me to take part in this spring exam. However, even so, this master will help you copy... and borrow other people's exam papers.]

Hearing this, Qu Xinzhu immediately reacted, "Borrowing? You mean plagiarizing, right?"

[How can something that is done by cultured people be called plagiarism? This is borrowing! "] Xiaoyaer said in a firm tone, and then he promised solemnly, [You can put your heart at ease. If for nothing else, just for the points you can get by completing the task, this master will never watch you fail.]

It was seriously injured and dormant for several months before gradually recovering. Even so, most of the energy in its body had dissipated.

In order to recover from its injuries and regain its previous peak strength, it must help the host complete the system tasks.

After being comforted by the system and the men, Qu Xinzhu finally felt in a good mood and gained confidence in this scientific expedition.

Before entering the Imperial Examination Hall, Qu Xinzhu looked a little nervous, and her steps were slightly heavy. She pretended to be calm and approached Wuchen. She leaned close to him, lowered her voice, and asked with a bit of anxiety and worry: "Did you bring enough Five Stone Powder?"

Liao Wuchen nodded slightly, a trace of helplessness and heartache flashed in his eyes, and he responded softly: "Don't worry, I have prepared three days' supply and quietly mixed it into the cakes and water bags."

After saying this, he sighed heavily in his heart.

He was a doctor, so how could he not know the disadvantages of Wu Shi San? However, in order to relieve the pain of his beloved woman, he could only watch her sink step by step.

Not only her, but he himself, since some time ago, had been deeply harmed by this poison.

Forget it, no matter what the future holds, he will stay with her.

Upon learning that there was sufficient supply of Wu Shi San, Qu Xinzhu's heart finally settled down.

She turned around, said goodbye to the men beside her one by one, then picked up her bag and walked towards the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall with slightly heavy but resolute steps.

Qu Xinzhu's disguise as a man this time was not really that exquisite, and the flaws were quite obvious. Anyone with a little bit of vision could see the clues.

What was surprising was that the officers in charge of checking the admission seemed to be blindfolded. They turned a blind eye to her abnormality and let her into the Imperial Examination Hall without any hesitation.

What was even more strange was that the other students who were taking the exam together seemed to be completely unaware of what was happening and no one cast any suspicious glances at him.

Witnessing this scene, Qu Qingyan immediately understood. Apart from the dog system secretly causing trouble, he could not think of any other reason to explain such a strange situation.

Moreover, Qu Xinzhu was able to take part in the Spring Examination so quickly, and the "help" of the dog system was definitely indispensable.

You have to know that if ordinary students want to embark on the road to the imperial examinations, they have to go through layers of selection such as county examinations, prefectural examinations, academy examinations, and provincial examinations, one after another, which is extremely difficult.

However, Qu Xinzhu simply skipped these necessary steps and stood in front of the door of the Spring Examination Hall without any obstruction.

But then again, in order to rush to participate in this scientific expedition, Qu Qingyan herself was not completely innocent, and she also took some unknown "shortcuts". In this way, she and Qu Xinzhu are really the same in this matter, and neither of them is much more noble than the other.

Thinking of this, Qu Qingyan couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head gently and collected his thoughts.

After the inspection was completed, she straightened her clothes and walked steadily and calmly towards the depths of the Imperial Examination Hall.

Qu Qingyan came to his own cell. As soon as he stepped in, his eyes inadvertently swept to the next room. He was slightly startled for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes - the figure in the next room was Qu Xinzhu.

At this moment, Qu Xinzhu's mind and eyes were completely occupied by the upcoming scientific examination. His expression was tense and he was concentrating on making the final preparations. He didn't notice the appearance of Qu Qingyan at all.

Qu Qingyan walked into the cell, gently put down the package he was carrying, and methodically took out the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone and placed them in place.

After she was ready, she closed her eyes lightly, circulated her spiritual power, and carefully extended her consciousness to the next room.

Qu Xinzhu's condition suddenly became abnormal, as if he was controlled by an invisible force. He became restless, like a fish stranded on the shore and on the verge of suffocation. He eagerly reached out to grab the water bag, tilted his head back and drank the water in big gulps.

The corners of Qu Qingyan's lips slowly curled up, and a cold sneer quietly emerged.

It seems that the addiction to Wushisan has come back. In this state, he still wants to win the first place in the scientific examination? It's just a foolish dream!

Thinking of this, Qu Qingyan no longer hesitated, slowly opened his eyes, a look of determination and confidence flashed in his eyes, he raised his hand and held the brush steadily, dipped it in thick ink, and began to write quickly on the white paper.
