Chapter 240: I Like Watching Lions in the Dark

~7 min read 1,205 words

"The holy verdict hasn't come down yet; we just need to wait for His Majesty's decision." Liu Yunfeng glanced at Wang Xianshi and gently reminded him.

The impact of this matter is still unknown; they'd better not take the lead in speaking, otherwise a slight mistake could bring disaster upon themselves.

Wang Xianshi suddenly realized something, feeling as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him; he clasped his fists and bowed to Liu Yunfeng, saying nothing else.

"His Majesty's verdict: all papers will be re-examined to ensure the integrity of the test papers; all examinees, check the distributed papers to see if they belong to you." Xi Gonggong stood on the platform, looking at the students, his whisk constantly swaying, his face bearing its usual smile.

"Papers without problems, send them here."

"Papers with problems, find your own dean and register."

As soon as Xi Gonggong finished speaking, the teachers from each institute began to distribute the papers.

However, the children of Chun Hua Xue Yuan stood there honestly.

Jiang Yunchu merely flipped through, then pulled out three papers; on them were clearly the three names Ning Hanmo, Kang Wu, and Ning Qiancheng.

These three people are exactly the three who made the list.

As for the other nine papers, Jiang Yunchu knew at a glance that they had been swapped.

He Tang, He Tang, a perfectly fine dean not being one, insisting on courting death!

"Chun Hua Xue Yuan, nine test papers have been swapped." Jiang Yunchu held those nine papers, step by step ascended the platform, looking down at the students below, especially those from Fame Ranking Academy.

"This Princess Consort advises you all: do not risk your lives to claim our institute's test papers; otherwise… believe me, I will retain the right to pursue responsibility, after all, the petition drum, this Princess Consort has also struck it."

"I just don't know whether the consequences are something you can bear!"

When she spoke, she was smiling, her whole body seeming to be blocked by rays of light.

The children of Chun Hua Xue Yuan watched the dean standing in the sunlight; she was fighting for them, protecting them.

Their grades, they had heard of them, but their fluctuations were not significant; whether each person had improved, they actually knew in their hearts.

After she finished speaking, Bai Zhi moved a chair for her; she sat to one side, looking at the children's answers, which were actually somewhat interesting.

According to her estimate, these three children's grades were also suppressed after all; mainly one is the Young Master of the Regent Prince's Manor, one is the Young Master of Kang Fu, one is the prince of the Palace; the three's grades are all outstanding, wanting to replace them is fundamentally impossible.

"Princess Consort, please review." Xi Gonggong cheerfully handed over a stack of mistaken papers, first giving them to Jiang Yunchu.

Jiang Yunchu took it, lightly nodded, "Thank you, Xi Gonggong, but… I won't look at the papers; let the children find them themselves."

"Lately I've taken a liking to little lions; I don't know if Xi Gonggong knows where they are made."

She chuckled and casually passed the papers to Zi Su beside her; Zi Su didn't directly hand them to the children, but instead flipped through them herself and found eight.

She directly picked up a pen and changed the names on the papers.

"Little lion?" Xi Gonggong's eyes flashed; his memory is still good; there is a little lion in the dean's quarters.

"Is what the Princess Consort likes a stone lion?" Xi Gonggong probed further.

Jiang Yunchu glanced at him, then lowered her head: "I like watching little lions in the dark."

Dark skies…

In the dark.

Xi Gonggong's expression unchanged, he immediately performed a respectful salute: "This servant will go out to look; if found, I will naturally send the news to Wang Fu."

"That's very good." Jiang Yunchu nodded; the things to be said are also considered concluded.

"Princess Consort, the eight papers all match, or is one missing?" Zi Su gathered all the papers, also bringing the renamed ones.

Jiang Yunchu raised her eyebrows, quite interesting; in this situation, there's actually someone who doesn't care and won't even pass the buck!

"Whose is missing?"

"Replying to Princess Consort, it's Kang Zhi Chun's that's missing."

Kang Zhi Chun…

Jiang Yunchu smiled, then rubbed her brow, wondering why she felt so helpless; because Kang Zhi Chun's handwriting used to be the hairpin-flower style, but after seeing her own cursive script, she fell in love with cursive.

She often used her own writing as a copybook for practice.

Her writing may not have the same spirit, but the form already bears some resemblance; recognizing it is not difficult.

"Kang Zhi Chun!" Jiang Yunchu called out.

The person who had been standing straight immediately stepped forward: "Present."

She had always been smiling, a cheerful little girl; who would have thought her handwriting would be cursive?

"Your paper can't be found."

"But I'm lazy; you all know my nature; give me an hour's time, and I'll figure out who took your paper."

"Let her go look for them one by one? She doesn't have that time; just now she glanced at the list and already guessed who took the paper, but…"

Observation is also their required course.

"Zhi Chun's task is our task." Ning Hanmo stepped forward and looked at his companions.

"Now we will conduct a summary of the information."

As his words just fell, Kang Wu spoke: "Zhi Chun's sister's handwriting was learned from the dean; besides Ning Hanmo, she is the only one who studied cursive script, making her papers very easy to identify."

"I need two copies of the list." Kang Zhiqiu and Kang Nai Xin spoke in unison; even their words were identical, not a character more or less, completely consistent.

"I have the previous one." No one expected Zhang Cunwen to pull out the list from his pocket.

Everyone's gaze turned to Zhang Cunwen; knowing that last time twelve people were on the list, only he was absent, yet they were the ones who didn't keep a list, while he happened to have kept one.

Zhang Cunwen saw everyone's gaze, immediately embarrassed, scratched his head: "I just… wanted to collect them; I'll keep collecting from now on."

Even if he is not on the list, his companions are; he shares in their honor, which can also motivate him to strive forward, hoping that one day he can be on the same list as them, gathering all the names of Chun Hua Xue Yuan.

"Well done!" Kang Zhi Xia patted his shoulder and smiled satisfiedly.

"Zhang Xiao San, you can definitely do it." Jia Chuan smiled, looking at him with relief.

Zhang Cunwen, praised, felt a bit embarrassed: "Hurry up and look; finding the paper is real, don't let anyone ruin the paper."

Everyone, upon hearing his words, immediately became solemn.

"We don't have the new list; the place at Fame Ranking Academy to check the list is too chaotic; the dean didn't let us come over, I'll go ask Zi Su." Ning Hanmo finished speaking and immediately ran to Zi Su's place.
