Chapter 55
Chu Liuyue did not have a single clue about what was happening outside. The moment she picked up the flag, fireworks immediately flew up and exploded in mid-air.
She raised her brows in confusion. She initially thought that only the top scholar would have such treatment, but she did not expect that second place would be announced in such a high-key manner.
She purposely came in second to not get into too much trouble. However, this was not bad as well. At the very least, there would be no ignorant people that dared to cause trouble for her from now on.
“Are you Chu Liuyue?”
Chu Liuyue turned around and saw a kind old man sizing her up.
Behind him were two other middle-aged men.
A mini Xuan formation floated beside them.
She realized that these three men were the Xuan Masters controlling the Xuan formation in the forest.
She bent her knees and bowed. “Greetings, teachers.”
“Elder Sun is one of our academy’s five most esteemed elders,” reminded one of the middle-aged men.
I’m third! A smile finally appeared on his face when he thought of this as he hurried over and took one of the flags. Even though the journey here was very difficult, it was worth it to get such a result.
He then looked up.
In the woods, one could not hear sounds that came from outside the Xuan formation. Thus, he did not know who had come in first place and second place.
He looked up and saw a familiar, bulky figure. As expected, it’s Si Ting. He directed his gaze to the side, and his entire person froze when he saw the pretty face.
“Congratulations.” Chu Liuyue clapped her hands and smiled happily. “Third place.”
Si Yang was completely dazed as he asked instinctively, “Why are you here?”
Chu Liuyue blinked. “Because… I came in second place.”
“You…”
“It’s such a pity. You said we would battle it out on the examination grounds, but you didn’t catch up with me after I waited for you for so long. Thus, I could only make a move first.” Chu Liuyue shrugged her shoulders. “I didn’t expect you to be so… slow.”
