Because the stakes were too high, and it truly depended on the examiner’s mind whether they were talented or not.

Only the standard ones, with one or two slightly outstanding highlights, and most importantly, the examiner could not find any mistakes, so they could be stable.

He was going to put on a good show during the imperial examination.

Shao Yunduan agreed deeply and bore that in mind. More importantly, after Master Yun’s teachings and his own hard work, as well as the precious materials he got from the Xie Family, he had made great progress. He was totally capable of making this examination work with an easy base, and he could make whatever articles he wanted.

After the gathering, it was already afternoon when they saw off Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou.

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan exchanged a look at each other and smiled. They were both smiling brightly under the bright sun.

“Darling, I have really become an Advanced Scholar!” Shao Yunduan took hold of Qiao Xuan and put his hands on her shoulders, as his eyes sparkled. “I will keep my promise, just wait and see.”

Qiao Xuan’s lips were raised, as she smiled brightly. She was in high spirits.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but did not know what to say. In the end, she nodded at him with a smile.

Shao Yunduan chuckled and took her into his arms. He was still feeling emotional inwardly – he had made it!

He had lived up to her parents, family and ancestors’ wishes, and his years of hard work had been justifed.

He did not care what position he was going to get. He believed that his wife would know that he only had her in his heart after he became an officer, and that he would not change his mind. It was time for them to become a real couple. She should not turn him down again, right?

Shao Yunduan felt so proud when he saw the beautiful woman in his arms and the name on the list.

He was the luckiest man in the whole world!

It was a day filled with heightened emotions. Laughter, tears, and even madness could be witnessed throughout the capital as news of the intermediate rankings spread like wildfire.

That night, families experienced contrasting emotions. Some reveled in joy and confidence, dreaming of achieving even greater success in the upcoming imperial examination. Others, with tears staining their faces, sighed and found it difficult to sleep. The shame of their performance lingered, and they could no longer face their fellow competitors. They awaited the day they could return to their hometowns, hoping to gather the strength to fight again in three years, or else abandon their pursuits.

Such was the cruelty experienced when thousands of soldiers and horses crossed a narrow bridge.

The imperial examination was scheduled to take place three days after the release of the rankings.

Despite its significance, the atmosphere leading up to the examination was notably different.

After all, even if one ranked last in the imperial examination, they would still carry the title. Most people were well aware of their position within the competitive intermediate field.

Only those who were exceptionally ambitious or those who had already achieved advanced status remained motivated to establish their reputation in the intermediate examination.

Prior to the imperial examination, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan decided to seek financial debt from Qiao Hongxi.

The reason? Gambling debts.

Shao Yunduan had a multitude of tasks to attend to after the imperial examination and lacked the time to address the issue himself. Moreover, being an official, it would be inconvenient for him to handle such matters personally.
