Peerless Taoist

This was a fierce slap to his face in front of all the examinees.    

The prestige of a person was gathered bit by bit, and the first impression was extremely important.    

The Crown Prince was prepared to give all the newly advanced scholars an impression in the Palace Examination. Even though he was the Crown Prince, he still had control over the entire court. Even if Lu Yu's performance was outstanding, he could still cripple him with a single word.    

However, his plan still failed in the end.    

Not only was Lu Yu unharmed, he had even obtained Zhang Hong's personal recognition!    

If this matter was spread, it would only make Lu Yu's reputation even more illustrious. In comparison, the Crown Prince would inevitably be cursed for not knowing who he was.    

"I originally intended to let you go and train for a while, but speaking of which... What you did in the Yellow Millet Dream was rather outstanding. I originally planned to place you at the top of the list. What I said earlier... I only wanted to encourage you. Love Minister Lu, don't mind me. " The Crown Prince immediately changed his attitude and said with a faint smile.    

Hearing the Crown Prince's words, Lu Yu said faintly, "I will naturally remember what His Highness said."    

He didn't express his gratitude or resentment.    

Lu Yu was using invisible words to resist the Crown Prince.    

The Crown Prince still had a smile on his face. At this moment, he had no choice but to change his attitude.    

"The court examination has ended. Reveal the Newcomer Ranking!"    

A eunuch slowly opened the list that the Crown Prince had prepared. Immediately, a golden list appeared in front of everyone.    

Other than Lu Yu, the rankings of the other candidates had already been evaluated by all the examiners. In the end, they were all gathered in the Crown Prince's hands to make decisions. Other than Lu Yu, the rankings of the other examinees did not have much of a change.    

First place, Lu Yu!    

First place, second place, Xu Tiangang!    

First place, first place, third place, Li Si!    

Among the following placings, some were high and some were low. When some people saw their spots, their faces revealed a disappointed expression. Of course, there were also some who were overjoyed. However, those who were able to arrive here had already reached a certain level of cultivation. Happiness and anger would not be shown so easily.    

The rankings here were based on the overall results of the theory examination and combat examination.    

Li Si's theory examination and combat examination were not the best. However, he boldly changed the rules in the court examination and went through a series of measures. It actually allowed his provincial capital to become the most prosperous province in the entire Constellation. It had even become a sacred place on the planet, attracting countless cultivators to take a look.    

Those examiners had all seriously watched the entire examination process of all the examinees. Naturally, they knew how precious Li Si's methods were. Thus, they gave Li Si a very high evaluation!    

What Great Yu needed was not a mighty expert who could oversee everything. Instead, it was a person who could maintain the stability and peace of a place through all kinds of administrative methods. This was what they needed.    

Li Si was the descendant of the law. He had been cultivating in Jade Cauldron Academy for many years, and had long since mastered the art of governance. As the saying went, one's accumulation was more than enough to deal with situations like the Palace Examination.    

However, although Li Si was a dark horse, everyone's gaze was still focused on Lu Yu.    

In this Imperial Examination, Lu Yu took first place in the theory examination, first place in the combat examination, and first place in the court examinations!
