Chapter 594 - Things Never Went As Planned

At that thought, Jin Li almost fainted...

She wasn’t the only one shocked.

Feng Liu, Lady Wang, Mrs Duan, Duan Chaoyue, Duan Chaoyin... and many others were all watching what was happening in disbelief.

That exam permit was legit?

Feng Wu really had an exam permit?!

“No, it can’t be! How can she have one?! She has no spiritual essence at all! She’s just a crip-”

An idea came to Jin Li all of a sudden!

She remembered the exemption rule of Imperial College!

“She got recommendations from three members of the education board?!”

That reminded everyone else.

That was right. If that exam permit was authentic, that was the only possibility!

“But... but it can’t be! Feng Wu is useless! How could she have persuaded three elders?! I don’t believe it!”

“Oh god, it just occurred to me. That exemption indeed comes with a red exam permit!”

“No way! Is Feng Wu that well-connected?”

“Maybe the bosses still see some hope in her and think that she can get her abilities back with a little push?”

“You know what? So what if Feng Wu has a real exam permit? Does she have spiritual essence?”

“You’re so right —”

Seeing that His Royal Highness was losing his patience, Mr Lu waved at the teachers. “What are you waiting for? Go back to your inspection.”

“Yes, of course —”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The inspection went on smoothly.

Soon, Feng Wu and Chaoge entered the exam hall.

Chaoge was displeased and kept grumbling. “How stupid can those people be? Would anyone trying to forge an exam permit make it red?”

Feng Wu chuckled. “What are you mumbling about there?”

Chaoge frowned. “I’m just pissed. Did we get insulted for nothing?”

Feng Wu smiled. “It won’t be for nothing.”

“Huh?” Chaoge looked at Feng Wu in bewilderment. “Xiao Wu, are you going to beat them up?”

“Let’s start with some face-slapping.”

“But how?”

“You’ll see.” Feng Wu found her seat according to the number on her exam permit.

The exam hall was actually an open space.

A hundred candidates were arranged in a ten-by-ten square.

Feng Wu sat in the first row of the fifth column.

And an invigilator sat right in front of her...

Feng Wu’s stomach sank!

Luckily, as the other exemption, Chaoge sat right next to her.

Chaoge’s seat was on Feng Wu’s right.

That was to say, Chaoge was the first in the sixth column.

Chaoge didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the seating arrangement.

To their frustration, sitting in the first row, they were right under the invigilators’ noses.

The bright side was that they weren’t too far apart. At least they were still in the same exam hall.

Just then, Chaoge tugged at Feng Wu’s sleeve. “Xiao Wu... I...”

Feng Wu looked back at Chaoge, knowing perfectly well that Chaoge’s answers would be... hopeless.

Grand Secretary Fang suffered from the threat of a stroke every time he corrected Chaoge’s exam paper. It always took him a long time to calm down, and in the end, he just let Chaoge go out and play on her own.

Just then —

Other candidates began to enter the hall.

Each hall contained 100 candidates, but somehow, almost everyone Feng Wu knew was in this one.

Especially Duan Chaoyin, who sat right behind Feng Wu.

And Duan Chaoyue right behind Chaoge.

And...
