The words of Empress Feng were decisive—the final results of the Written Examination were announced.
Murong Ziyue came first, Xin Lin second, and Jin Chen third.
Although the results had been made public, due to what Xin Lin said earlier, the looks that the other candidates gave Jin Chen had changed.
After Empress Feng left, the candidates dispersed.
Jin Chen's face was clouded with discontent, and he was about to leave.
"Young Master Jin, hold on a moment."
Xin Lin surged forward, blocking Jin Chen's way.
"Last name Xin, what do you want now?"
Jin Chen's face was full of anger.
Before participating in the Zixiao Palace Exam, he had vowed that he would definitely take first place to enter Qingtian Academy, but ending up third in the written part meant his top rank was in jeopardy. Moreover, once word got out, he would undoubtedly be ridiculed by his peers. All this disgrace was because of that damn foot washing maid!
