The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 33

A lot of time was given for the exam and Jiang Chen was not too worried. This third test was a walk in the park for him. With reading skills that her past life has developed over millions of years, she has developed an almost photographic memory for things that need to be put into memory.    

Therefore, this bit of memorization was not a problem for him.    

He wrote his name with his beautiful brush and began to answer questions.    

About an hour later, he had completed the rote with his satisfaction.    

The next creative part. The questions in this section will also be more flexible and in-depth.    

Of course, based on Jiang Chen's experience, these questions were still so low and rude that it was just a joke to him. However, he still drew up his answer very seriously.    

Although the topic is shallow, the answer will not be too deep. With the theoretical knowledge standards of the Eastern Kingdom, it is unlikely that the kingdom is able to digest something too convoluted.    

With Jiang Chen's knowledge, if he really answered too deeply, then it was no different from him handing over the blank test paper.    

Something too deep will not be understandable.. Then what is the difference between answering nonsense?    

Therefore, Jiang Chen racked his brain to start from the knowledge foundation of this world, and developed it with some innovation.    

These answers are actually classed as very low knowledge in his knowledge bank. But Jiang Chen was still a little worried that he had gotten out of the box and created unnecessary trouble.    

Therefore, he repeatedly held back and finally overcame the desire to explain further. He controls the summary of the creative part and keeps it at a level that is in line with the knowledge found in the Eastern Kingdom.    

Doing it this way actually creates more work for him. He double-checked his exam paper after an hour, found that the paper was perfect, and then handed it over.    

The organizers of this exam sealed Jiang Chen's exam into a box according to the rules.    

“Jiang Chen, this exam needs to be read by senior officials and assessed by officials from various subjects. Do you understand this rule?”    

There was indeed such a rule and Jiang Chen did not care about it. He's nodding.    

No matter who was judging, this exam must have passed. Jiang Chen was very sure about this.    

It was already dusk when he completed the three basic exams. Fatty Xuan ran over while following Jiang Chen. With his weight and body shape, it was difficult for him to keep up with Jiang Chen.    

Fatty Xuan gasped for air after a while. “Brother Chen, wait for your brother!    

Brother Chen, I have reserved a table at the Autumn Stork to celebrate your graduation in the three basic exams. I've known for a long time that Brother Chen must be a wolf in sheep's clothing. You didn't pass the previous exam to deliberately describe that you were weak. Heh, crippling enemies through strategy!”    

Fatty Xuan's fawning words flowed like a tide and he was not at all ashamed of doing so.    

“Do not go to Autumn Stork.” Jiang Chen said weakly, thought for a moment, and sighed when he saw the earnest Fatty Xuan and Hubing Yue. “Let's gather at my place tonight.”    

Hubing Yue nodded, “Yes, Brother Chen is right. My parents also said that there are too many things going on in the capital these days. We should avoid going to places like the Autumn Stork.”    

“Heh. If Brother Chen says not to go, then we will not go. Besides, going to Brother Chen's house means more faces for us, brother, right? Fatty Xuan was a relaxed character and went with the flow instead of stubbornly holding on to something.    

As a personal servant, it was time for Jiang Zheng to shine. He immediately spoke up when he heard Jiang Chen's words, “Your servant will return home to make preparations.”    

Fatty Xuan and them even became more relaxed after they reached the Jiang Han palace.    

This was also the first time Jiang Chen had gathered with his best friend since arriving in this world. He was excited, and listened excitedly to the fat Xuan and the others talking about everything that had happened before.    

“Brother Chen, didn't you say that Yang Zong was completely heartless? Thinking that you were so attentive to her back then, and she backed away from fear and was reluctant to take responsibility after something happened to you. He was crouching and too afraid to interact with us. This guy seems unreliable. And I even treated him as a brother before. What a shameful person!”    

Fatty Xuan was extremely excited when talking about Yang Zong.    

On the other hand, Jiang Chen easily laughed and decided to ignore the matter. Everyone has their own ambitions. Yang Zong chose to pursue profit and the side that favoured him rather than choosing his brother. That was his choice.    

Except, Jiang Chen naturally erased Yang Zong's name from his heart.    

Fatty Xuan put a damper on Yang Zong's crucifixion after seeing that Jiang Chen had not participated. He changed the topic to the Hidden Dragon Trials.    

“Brother Chen, do you really have ambitions when facing the Examination?” Fatty Xuan drank too much and his tongue became somewhat sagging.    

“Brother Chen, I, the fat Xuan, am a stubborn person. I don't think too much about one of those main dukes. I only feel a kinship with Big Brother Chen, so if Big Brother Chen flies triumphantly in the sky, then I will smile even in my dreams! Brother Chen, I hope you are eyeing that superior position!”    

“Indeed Brother Chen, Bai Zhanyun it's just that. You truly have the potential to obtain a position as one of the four grand dukes. Hubing Yue was also very excited at the thought of Jiang Chen's appearance that night.    

“Four grand dukes?” Jiang Chen muttered lightly and then smiled widely. “Four grand dukes is not my final destination.”    

"Ah? Brother Chen, then what is your goal? It would be great too if you could get into the top ten rankings.” Hubing Yue said.    

“Hubing Yue, are you silly pig?” Although Fatty Xuan was drunk, his mind was not. With his understanding of Jiang Chen, his tone did not mean that he could not obtain any of the places as one of the four grand dukes, but he did not deign!    

As his mind traced this path, Fatty Xuan's massive body trembled for a bit, his calmness immediately returning. An incomparable look of spirit emanated from his rapidly darting eyes under his plump eyelids.    

“Brother Chen, could it be that your goal is the position of the Eastern nobility? Haha, that's my brother Chen, alright! Big ambition, really!”    

Fatty Xuan was also a bit of a bastard. Plus the influence of alcohol, and it resulted in him completely losing all doubts while speaking. He probably did not think that these words would make him a suspect of rebellion.    

“This... Brother Chen, are you real?” Hubing Yue gasped and her breathing also grew heavy.    

Jiang Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry seeing how serious the two were. “Fatty Xuan, your imagination is overactive. When did I say I wanted to replace the Eastern nobles?”    

"Then what?" Fatty Xuan scratched his head and put on a puzzled expression.    

“I am a cultivator. It would be a waste of my life if I chased the weather for a moment. I, Jiang Chen, want to pursue martial dao with my life. To me, all wealth and wealth is just a floating cloud.”    

Fatty Xuan became lethargic at the sight of how serious Jiang Chen was.    

“Brother Chen, looks like this isn't you. What happened to our previous oath? Didn't we agree to go crazy together, enjoy everything together, be wild and free together, and face all the storms together?”    

Fatty Xuan pouted while muttering a complaint.    

“People should change.” Jiang Chen let out a light breath. “Fatty, since you two are my brothers, I will not say any false words. Although ditching is fun, those days won't last long. Do you know how many eyes are staring at the rank of a duke you hold, let alone another? If not for the rank of a duke, on what basis would you have to be a dandy? What ability do you have to be wild and free?”    

Fatty Xuan was speechless. How did he not know that being wild and free together was only a temporary dream.    

How can you be wild without power? Who would allow you to be so arrogant?    

In the end, they can be wild and free together because of a good father and a good reincarnation.    

But after their generation walked without burden, what about the next generation?    

It is very aligned with Hubing Yue, “Fat, Brother Chen is right. I also think that only power is the real law in this world. Look at Brother Chen's experience over the past few days, isn't this a perfect illustration of this rule? People usually challenge us wherever we go. And now? Everyone who saw Brother Chen did not even dare to look towards us. This is the change brought by power!”    

Fatty Xuan had become an old and lonely man when he was desperate, “But you also know that I am a fat man who is not taken seriously by anyone. Training is a luxury for me. I only reached this step because my parents hit me with their hands and feet. ”    

Fatty became even sadder as he spoke. Although she is usually high-spirited and looks like a dandy, she has a side in her that no one else can see, a fragile side.    

His size and weight had brought many problems for him that no one else had experienced. It also engenders discrimination and ridicule that no one else can understand.    

Sensitive in the heart, the fatty had always been very concerned about this, but he had to pretend not to care at all. He learned to self-deprecate and joke about himself.    

Except, he met Jiang Chen when he arrived at the capital for the Hidden Dragon Trials. He had met the only person in this world who did not discriminate against him and even called him brother.    

At that moment, the fat Xuan felt that Jiang Chen was his –-brother confidant for the rest of his life, and that someone who would make that fat Xuan die.    

“Brother Chen, did you know? When I first arrived at the capital, I tried hard to assimilate with the world of the other heirs. But I was faced with discrimination and ridicule from them wherever I went. You were the first to call me fat without a mocking smile on your face. At that time, I decided that I would listen to whatever you say for the rest of my life!”    

Fatty Xuan rubbed his red eyes violently as he paused at this moment. “Brother Chen, you just did it. If we don't have a good father, what right do we have to be lazy, acting crazy? Moreover, to ensure my descendants have the ability to be dandy, I must maintain the rank of a duke!”    

A resolute desire that would make others become serious appeared for the first time in Fatty Xuan's eyes.
