None of them knew that the White Crane had arrived at the Capital days ago and that Chen Chang Sheng had requested it to stay.
Therefore, they couldn’t help but guess; was it Xu You Rong herself that requested the White Crane travel thousands of miles, from the South to the Capital, in order to especially provide assistance to her fiancé in the Grand Examination?
Luo Luo held onto Chen Chang Sheng’s sleeve, her little face beaming in joy, constantly praising his intellect.
Her praise was exceedingly genuine, to the point where it started to make Chen Chang Sheng feel rather embarrassed.
Tang Thirty-Six patted him on the shoulder, not saying anything else.
Xuan Yuan Po looked at him while shaking his head, he wanted to say this wasn’t good, but upon thinking that he was technically his Grand Master, all he could do was to drearily remain quiet.
Su Mo Yu approached, stared at him and asked: “Is this allowed?”
It was an honest question, without any ridicule or contempt, he was genuinely asking Chen Chang Sheng as to if any rules were being broken.
This question was one that many examinees present were also asking.
One of the scholars from Scholartree Manor had found an invigilator and was talking to them with a stern expression on their face.
The examinees turned their gazes towards that direction, waiting for a final verdict.
After a time, the invigilator walked up the students of Orthodox Academy, looked at Chen Chang Sheng and mournfully said: “This is not allowed.”
For the invigilators and other related personnel that were here today, at least half of them were from the Education Board and thus, leaned towards Orthodox Academy and Chen Chang Sheng, but this leaning only extended to the finer minutiae of the exam, such as the provisions of tea and stationary supplies, or the position of seating and such; with so many eyes bearing witness to Chen Chang Sheng crossing the river on a crane, they couldn’t favour him even if they wanted to.
