Chapter 74

"College entrance exam Chinese question-setting?"

Ye Xuan was stunned when he received this call.

The person on the other side of the phone didn't seem to hear Ye Xuan’s response, and the 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, wave after wave of praise came from the other side of the phone.

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

The mouth of a scholar really exerts the power of language to the extreme!

The level of flattery they practiced was 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 there was nothing major at the pig farm for the next period of time.

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 react.

"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 there seemed to be the sound of bumping into a table.

Chuckling, Ye Xuan confirmed the time and address a few more times, then hung up the phone and started 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 participating in the question-setting need to be strictly isolated.

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

After the work at hand was explained, a week passed in a flash.

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

Following the information left by the previous call, Ye Xuan arrived at the "secret place" specially arranged by the examination 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 question-setting, the address of the college entrance exam question-setting is either in 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 started 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 an excited face.

"Mr. Ye, being able to invite you is simply my honor, I have always been your fan..."

"Thank you for the recognition."

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

"Everyone, hurry up and see who I 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, and there were already a dozen people sitting in the conference room.

Among them were special-grade teachers from top 100 middle schools and university professors, as well as experts and scholars in the literary world, and research personnel from the examination center.

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

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

"Hello everyone, I am 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 have been waiting for you..."

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

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

As if they didn't see Ye Xuan at all.

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

It seems that these people have opinions about him?!

Ye Xuan’s guess was not false.

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 the head by a hairy boy who was only twenty years old?!

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 martial arts world, but the remake of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* also made Ye Xuan famous and profitable.

It also made many envious and hateful people in the literary world couldn't help but spit.

A scholar should have a backbone, how can he be so greedy for fame and profit?!

It’s simply not elegant!

In this unconvinced mentality, several old seniors naturally planned to play deaf and dumb, out of sight and out of mind, pretending not to see Ye Xuan.

And at this moment, the door opened with a bang, and the eyes of the conference room were attracted again.

The person who came was wearing a Tang suit, with gray hair, looking about seventy years old, but his eyes were bright, his eyebrows were prominent, and his figure did not look hunched at all.

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

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

"Since Tang Lao won the China 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 examination center really made a big move this time..."

Just as everyone was discussing, almost everyone stood up.

The person in front of them is Tang Lao who swept the 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 is known as one of the most influential contemporary writers in China.

Not only that, Tang Lao has students all over the world, and many students are professors in the 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 greeted Tang Lao with excitement, and one by one 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 twenty years old, Tang Lao’s brows frowned slightly, clearly wondering why such a young person appeared in the examination 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 excitedly.

"This is Mr. Ye Xuan whom I invited, it just so happens that Mr. Ye Xuan just finished writing *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, so he took time out of his busy schedule to come to our examination center..."

Li Laoshi introduced a circle, and he originally thought he could see a scene of scholars cherishing each other.

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

"In this college entrance exam question group, why are all kinds of people invited?"

As soon as the voice fell, Li Laoshi’s unfinished words were stuck in his throat.

And Ye Xuan’s brows also twisted.

This Tang Lao is probably not coming with good intentions.
