Luo Luo’s situation was rather unique, at this rather sensitive time, she couldn’t possibly appear with Mei Li Sha before the crowds outside of Li Palace, this was because she represented the stance of the yao race; in the human race’s struggles and conflicts, she had to be very cautious, to the point where she couldn’t reveal any sort of position.
Chen Chang Sheng looked at her and said, in consolation: “It’s fine, you should return first, we’ll meet again at the academy.”
Luo Luo’s unhappy mood slightly lessened, she held his hand and said: “Then Sir, take care of your injuries.”
Having taken medicine and received a round of treatment, Chen Chang Sheng no longer had to lie upon the stretcher, he was supported by Tang Thirty-Six and Xuan Yuan Po as they followed His Eminence out of the Education Palace.
Luo Luo was currently staying in the Education Palace and thus, didn’t need to leave, she only needed to see them off.
Not long after, one elder and three youths, totalling four people, walked out of the Hall of Clear Virtue.
Taking in everything within sight, all that could be seen was the red tinted skies in the sunset, with the night fast approaching.
They discovered that it was actually already the second day’s evening; the Grand Examination had already continued for two days and one night.
Thinking of this, they couldn’t stop themselves from feeling fatigued; a sudden onset of lethargy.
Outside of Li Palace, it was teeming with people; a stretching dark mass.
The populace that were here to observe the excitement were loath to leave, with a lot of the crowd anxiously grasping onto the gambling slips in their hands, awaiting the final result.
Surrounding the stone pillars, a lot of teachers and Elders from various academies and sects were waiting for the examinees to come out.
The Grand Examination had finally ended and the final results had already been announced.
Those teachers and elders, in addition to being shocked, were in the end, most concerned with the status of their own examinees.
The examinees streamed out of the Hall of Clear Virtue one after the other, following the divine avenue towards the outside of Li Palace to meet their family and teachers; this gave rise to many different situations.
Some examinees yelled out repeatedly, their family crying from surprise and joy
Some examinees had dark expressions, whilst their family constantly consoled them.
Some examinees appeared dazed, with their academy teachers harshly reprimanding them.
With more and more examinees leaving the Education Palace, it gradually became quiet outside of Li Palace.
After leaving the Hall of Clear Virtue, the four disciples of Li Shan Sword Sect directly entered the guesthouse and didn’t appear again, but the crowd still continued to wait for something.
The slanting Sun sank to the West, as if the sunset was naught but a dream. Above the divine avenue, the stone steps towered.
Chen Chang Sheng was supported by Tang Thirty-Six and Xuan Yuan Po, slowly descending the steps.
His Eminence was to the rear, by the side.
Within and without Li Palace, it was silent.
The sunset fell upon the stairs, creating a span of tepid red; a stark contrast from the morning.
