Even though 167 was looking at the fierce-looking man in front of him, he dared not hide anything.
So he spilled the beans about the eldest son of the Fan family selling newspapers at the Earl's villa.
Of course, it was also made clear that this newspaper was supervised by the imperial court on the emperor's orders.
After listening, Si Gu Jian did not make things difficult for him.
Just snorted coldly.
"The emperor's reach is so far!"
Having said that, he unleashed a burst of energy.
The framed newspaper was shattered into tiny snowflakes.
Wang Shisanlang was engrossed in reading the gossip about Nanqing.
Before I could finish reading it, the newspaper was shattered by my master's shock.
It was a bit of a pity, and we felt like we hadn't had enough.
However, compared to him, the tavern owner was truly heartbroken.
He bought this from the young master of the Fan family at a high price.
Wang Shisanlang shook his head.
I admire my master's style of doing things; he's always been reckless and determined.
He felt a little embarrassed, after all, the boss had just treated them to drinks.
However, they have no money to pay back, and the idea of paying on credit next time is utter nonsense.
Who knows when they'll come back to this little place?
But maybe.
After all, we were drinking just now.
Then I overheard the people in the shop talking.
The tutor of the young master of the Fan family is none other than Su Yu, the number one scholar in the world today.
Mr. Su stayed in Danzhou for more than a year back then.
From this perspective, Danzhou might be a good place.
Moreover, the tavern owner said that Mr. Su really liked the plum wine in his shop.
Hmm, this wine is indeed not bad.
This also prompted Wang Shisanlang to ponder something further.
Si Gu Jian shattered the newspaper and stood up.
"Let's go, to Kyoto."
Wang Shisanlang nodded and downed the wine in front of him in one gulp.
He then quickly followed in his master's footsteps.
Before leaving, I decided to leave a promise for the boss.
"Boss, I'll pay you back for the newspaper next time I come."
……
Kyoto, Aoyama.
Su Yu had already eaten a grilled fish that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Now I'm enjoying a steaming bowl of mushroom and fish soup, how wonderful!
Wu Zhu stood quietly to the side, not eating.
Fan Xian was drinking fish soup while chatting with Lin Dabao.
"Little Xianxian, why is the sky blue?"
"Because the sea is blue, don't call me Xiao Xianxian."
Why is the ocean blue?
"Because light turns blue after it gets into the seawater."
"Xiao Xianxian, why is the water in the pool green, not blue?"
"Hmm... because the water in the pool is shallow."
"Also, don't call me Xiao Xianxian."
Fan Xian rubbed his forehead, suddenly regretting that he had come to the back mountain to find his teacher.
Because her husband apparently asked him to help take care of the child.
And why does this unlucky big kid insist on calling himself Xiao Xianxian?
The two of them seem to get along very well.
Su Yu turned her gaze back to the examination room.
Soon, the major exams were all over, but why didn't many talented people emerge?
Are there really only a handful of people with exceptional talent?
Chapter 164 A Calm and Steadfast Killer! A Born Assassin!
In the morning's major exams, including humanities, chess, and mathematics, some students displayed remarkable talent.
However, they were all his old disciples, like Fan Xian and Li Chengze.
Ruoruo even became Fei Jie's assistant examiner in the medical skills examination room.
But what Su Yu really wants to see is fresh blood.
It's the rise of those kids who haven't even formally become apprentices yet.
Unfortunately, after looking around for a long time, I still couldn't find any suitable examination rooms.
Most of them are mediocre people, especially from aristocratic families, where many are useless.
Among students from impoverished families, their academic performance is actually quite decent.
Shi Chanli and his three companions, plus He Zongwei, are all quite good.
Shi Chanli has some business acumen, Cheng Jialin has good literary skills, and Hou Jichang is a good chess player.
He Zongwei has a high level of literary talent; although he is not as good as Fan Xian, he is better than Cheng Jialin.
However, compared to the average person, it's only considered quite good.
Compared to the top talents of those old disciples, he was still slightly inferior.
Yang Wanli, this roughneck among scholars, turned out to be a natural talent for martial arts.
His martial arts talent is even higher than Fan Xian's.
It was an unexpected surprise.
Another person who surprised Su Yu was Guo Baokun, the "Phoenix Chick of Nanqing".
This idiot, I don't know what got into him, actually signed up for exams in dozens of subjects.
All morning, I saw him frantically running around between different floors and exam rooms.
The archery and music exams drove many students and examiners crazy.
However, he actually discovered a talent: gambling skills.
No one could have imagined that Guo Baokun would actually have the talent of a gambling god.
Su Yu certainly didn't expect this.
Of course, this was also thanks to Guo Baokun's incredible luck.
However, despite Shi Chanli and Cheng Jialin's outstanding students.
In addition, there were two exceptionally talented individuals, Yang Wanli and Guo Baokun.
But overall, the outlook is not very optimistic.
In any case, it did not meet Su Yu's expectations.
He also looks forward to taking on a group of top-tier talented apprentices.
They'll be reaping rewards like crazy from now on.
Therefore, in Su Yu's imagination, these young geniuses...
There should be at least a dozen, if not dozens.
As a result, only this many came out after a whole morning.
Although there are many students in the academy, many are still queuing up for exams and have not yet had a chance to perform.
But the afternoon will be over soon, and the big exam will be finished.
Su Yu propped her head up with one hand and took another sip of tea.
He couldn't help but frown and sigh softly.
Could it be that there are really only a handful of people with exceptional talent?
He started to think, or rather, to comfort himself.
He thought to himself that there were only a few disciples with high talent, which was understandable.
Where in the world are there so many geniuses?
Being more talented than the average person is already quite good.
We can't force it, we can't force it.
At worst, we can just win by sheer volume (167).
However, before he could think about it for long, the situation in the examination room changed.
Su Yu soon realized that he had been worrying for nothing.
