Chapter 491: 250 Sister Lovers (First Update)

Fen Lin could not hide his admiration, “I’m really envious that you can be seated with Xiao Liulang.”

The two were placed consecutively either in the front or at the left rear.

Du Ruohan rolled his eyes, “What’s there to envy? If you’re so keen, you can take my seat!”

He didn’t understand how, when he and Fen Lin were best friends as children, Xiao Liulang, a newcomer who spent less time with them, manage to push him aside?

Fen Lin said, “I’d love to, if the invigilator agrees.”

Lin Chengye also showed extreme admiration, wishing to sit beside Xiao Liulang.

Du Ruohan didn’t understand and asked, “What’s happening with you two? Do you hope to copy his test paper or something else by sitting by his side?”

Fen Lin gave him a meaningful glance, “You don’t get it. As long as I sit beside Xiao Liulang, I feel at ease.”

Lin Chengye nodded in agreement.

He felt the same way.

Fen Lin was a native of Song County. Even though his family lived in the county seat, in reality, his grandparents and relatives lived in the countryside. He was just an ordinary country lad who had never seen the world.

The Palace Examination was fast approaching. The thought of meeting the Emperor of Zhan Country made his knees weak.

Although Lin Chengye was the son of the wealthiest man in Youzhou Provincial City, merchants were considered lowly throughout history and were not respected.

Discussion about him among the Guozijian students often revolved around his family’s wealth, and some even claimed that his rankings were bought with money.

In short, Lin Chengye was even more afraid of meeting the Emperor than Fen Lin.

Xiao Liulang turned to the two of them and said, “Don’t overthink it. Just take the exam as you normally would. The Emperor is not a dangerous beast. He’s not going to punish candidates over trivial matters.”

Du Ruohan grumbled, “How would you know? You haven’t met him.”

Xiao Liulang did not respond.

In reality, he was under enormous pressure. He had an intuition that once he entered the Imperial Palace, he would definitely attract the Emperor’s attention.

Although he had complete confidence in handling the situation, he could not guarantee what the Emperor’s attitude would be.

Fen Lin was annoyed with Du Ruohan, who was always finding fault with Xiao Liulang. He said, “Let’s drop it. Let’s go back. Du Ruohan, are you going back with us or back to the Zhuang residence? We’re planning to go to Xiao Liulang’s house to discuss potential examination questions.”

Du Ruohan initially didn’t want to go, but he thought about something and asked, “Is Gu Jiao home?”
