Chapter 141

"College entrance exam Chinese question setting?"

Ye Xuan was stunned when he received this call.

The person on the other end of the phone didn't seem to hear Ye Xuan's response, and their voice carried a bit of urgency.

"Mr. Ye Xuan, as a literary master like you, you can definitely inject new changes into our question setting..."

As if afraid that Ye Xuan would refuse, the other end of the phone sent wave after wave of praise.

By the time Ye Xuan reacted, the other side had praised Ye Xuan like a flower, making Ye Xuan himself have to sigh.

The mouths of literary people really push the power of language to the extreme!

The level of flattery they practice is also superb.

Listening to the voice on the phone, Ye Xuan also seriously considered the invitation in front of him.

It happened that *The Return of the Condor Heroes* had just concluded, and for the next period of time, there was nothing major at the pig farm.

The villagers were already familiar with the routine of the pig farm and didn't need him to worry at all.

Since that's the case, why not go and see?!

"I agree."

As soon as Ye Xuan's voice fell, it was the other side that didn't seem to have reacted yet.

"Mr. Ye, I represent the entire college entrance exam Chinese group to sincerely invite you to participate... What? You agree? That's great..."

Vaguely, Ye Xuan also heard the chaos coming from the other side, and it seemed there was even an 'ouch' sound from someone bumping into a table.

Chuckling, Ye Xuan confirmed a few more times about the time and address, then hung up the phone and began to arrange the relevant matters for the pig farm.

After all, during the college entrance exam question setting period, in order to ensure that the test questions are not leaked, all personnel involved in question setting need to be strictly isolated.

In this way, Ye Xuan could also be prepared for any eventuality.

By the time the work at hand was explained, a week had passed in a flash.

After saying hello to his parents and packing up a bit, Ye Xuan arrived in Yanjing by plane.

Following the information left by the previous call, Ye Xuan arrived at the "secret place" specially arranged for this exam center.

Seeing the weeds growing outside the nursing home in front of him, Ye Xuan couldn't help but rub his chin and sigh.

I heard that in order to ensure the confidentiality of the college entrance exam questions, the address for setting the questions is either in a prison or in a nursing home.

I didn't expect it to be true.

Shaking his head, seeing that he needed to verify his identity to enter, Ye Xuan began to contact Li Laoshi, who had called him before.

Not long after, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties wearing black-rimmed glasses walking toward him with excitement.

"Mr. Ye, it's my honor to be able to invite you; I've always been your fan..."

"Thank you for the recognition."

Ye Xuan followed Li Laoshi, who started a praise mode all the way, arranged his luggage, and then came to the conference room of this college entrance exam question group.

"Everyone, take a look at who I've invited?!"

As soon as he pushed the door open, Li Laoshi couldn't wait to introduce Ye Xuan to everyone, his tone carrying obvious admiration.

Ye Xuan scanned the people in the conference room; there were already ten or so people sitting there.

Among them were special-grade teachers from top-tier high schools and university professors, as well as experts and scholars in the literary world, and research personnel from the exam center.

Judging from the white hair of many people, they all belonged to the ranks of old seniors.

Seeing everyone's eyes fixed on him, Ye Xuan also greeted everyone politely.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ye Xuan."

As soon as Ye Xuan's self-introduction came out, a professor whose nameplate read "Wang Yongkang" took the lead in applauding.

"Welcome Mr. Ye Xuan, Mr. Ye Xuan, we've been waiting for you..."

As the voice fell, several teachers with glowing eyes also applauded in support.

However, more abruptly, several other old professors and experts and scholars with gray hair clearly turned their heads away and then continued to talk to the people beside them on their own.

It was as if they hadn't seen Ye Xuan at all.

Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

It seems that these people have an opinion about him?!

Ye Xuan's guess was not wrong.

The old professors and experts and scholars present were all old seniors in the literary world.

After struggling in the literary world for so many years, they didn't expect to be ridden on their heads by a kid in his early twenties?!

Who could swallow this breath?!

Besides, the explosion of *The Return of the Condor Heroes* and *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* not only created a new Wu Xia world, but the remake of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* also made Ye Xuan both famous and wealthy.

It also made many literary people who were envious, jealous, and hateful spit.

A literary person should have a backbone; how can they be so greedy for fame and fortune?!

It's simply not elegant!

In this unconvincing mentality, several old seniors naturally intended to play deaf and dumb, out of sight, out of mind, as if they hadn't seen Ye Xuan.

And at this moment, the door opened with a *snap*, and the attention of the conference room was attracted again.

The person who came was wearing a Tang suit, with gray hair, looking about seventy, but his eyes were bright, his eyebrows were imposing, and his figure didn't look hunched at all.

As the old man walked slowly, the conference room immediately caused a commotion.

"Isn't this Tang Lao? The question group actually invited Tang Lao too?!"

"Ever since Tang Lao won the Chinese Book Contribution Award, he hasn't appeared in front of the media; I didn't expect him to participate in the college entrance exam question setting this time?!"

"Tang Lao is the old senior who has won the most awards in the domestic literary world; the exam center really made a big move this time..."

Just as everyone was discussing, almost everyone stood up.

The person in front of them was Tang Lao, who had swept all domestic literary awards!

Tang Lao's works were even selected into the top 100 Chinese works of the 20th century by *Asia Weekly*, and he was hailed as one of the most influential writers in contemporary China.

Not only that, Tang Lao had students all over the world, and many students were teaching as professors in Chinese departments of major domestic universities.

In other words, several young high school teachers in the conference room might have been taught by Tang Lao's students.

It can be seen that Tang Lao's status and seniority are high.

At this moment, everyone in the conference room welcomed Tang Lao with excitement, and each of them took the initiative to reach out, hoping to meet Tang Lao.

In this way, compared to Tang Lao, who was surrounded in the center, Ye Xuan, who was ignored on the side, became eye-catching.

At this moment, Tang Lao greeted the teachers and experts and scholars, and also noticed Ye Xuan on the side.

Seeing that Ye Xuan was only in his twenties, Tang Lao's brows frowned slightly, clearly wondering why such a young person appeared in the exam center, and he asked subconsciously.

"Who is this?"

Hearing Tang Lao's voice, Li Laoshi, the leader of this college entrance exam question group, introduced him excitedly.

"This is Mr. Ye Xuan, whom I invited. It just so happens that Mr. Ye Xuan has just finished writing *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, so he came to our exam center in his busy schedule..."

Li Laoshi introduced him endlessly, and he originally thought he could see a scene of literary appreciation.

Unexpectedly, the next second he saw Tang Lao in front of him raise his hand to signal him to shut up, and said lightly.

"How did this college entrance exam question group invite just anyone?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Laoshi's words that he hadn't finished speaking were stuck in his throat.

And Ye Xuan's brows also twisted.

This Tang Lao is probably not here with good intentions. ===== CHAPTER 144 =====
