The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 35

The depressing, deep, and wild nature of Jiang Chen's life in the past and present suddenly appeared unstoppable when he had the idea to travel a little in the outside world.    

Of course, this trip was not something Jiang Chen could arbitrarily decide.    

First, he had to pass the Hidden Dragon Trials before leaving. Otherwise, leaving the capital without permission would mean canceling the Examination.    

The exam was Jiang Chen's first big goal when he arrived in this world – was unlikely for him to give up.    

One of them, he had to fight for his father's right to continue holding the rank of a duke.    

Moreover, the great power that formed in the capital made Jiang Chen have no way back – he had to fight!    

Jiang Chen got up early the next morning and went to practice at the palace training ground. He had been preparing to pay a visit to the Hall of Healing when he saw the sun had risen as high as the three connecting bamboo segments.    

He had signed a contract with the Hall of Healing and naturally would not break his promise.    

Except, he had no time to set foot outside before the fat Xuan and Hubing Yue rushed in. Their faces looked like the sky was collapsing.    

“Brother Chen, why are you acting as if nothing happened?” The fat Xuan almost ran to the door with a rolling posture, and came out from the start with this question when he saw Jiang Chen.    

"What about me?" Jiang Chen was confused.    

“Brother Chen, something big has happened!” Anxiety also enveloped the clumsy honesty of Hubing Yue, the kind of anxiety that accompanied the crumbling sky.    

"What?" Jiang Chen felt that the expressions of the two were no joke.    

“Brother Chen, you did not pass the basic exam!” Fatty Xuan almost cried out of her worry. “Brother Chen, you lectured us yesterday, how..”    

“No pass? Impossible!" Jiang Chen shook his head firmly. He was firm, that was absolutely impossible. “You also saw my test.”    

“We saw it was fine, you passed the first and second exams. However, you did not pass the third exam.”    

The third exam, the theory exam, but it was a test that no one else could witness.    

“I didn't pass the theory exam?” Jiang Chen thought back and resolutely shook his head. “I still can't believe it. I will not be wrong in any part of memorization. That's enough to guarantee graduation. I also feel like I have outlined the creative part quite well, unless the examiner is blind.”    

Fatty Xuan was like an ant in a hot frying pan in a hurry and he continued to walk around in circles.    

"No-no. Brother Chen, we cannot sit idly by against an enemy like this. Didn't you already have a relationship with Princess Gouyu? Quickly enter the palace to ask the princess to think of something. This issue cannot be redeemed when the final result is announced!”    

According to the basic exam rules, if one of the three basic exams has not passed before the deadline, then the candidate has not passed the exam.    

If the basic exam did not pass, then the candidate did not have the qualifications to participate in the Hidden Dragon Trials afterwards.    

Hence, there was certainly nothing to talk about regarding maintaining the rank of a duke.    

Although Jiang Chen was a little stunned, he did not panic. As he was daydreaming, Duke Jiang Han also dashed out of the palace quickly. He had obviously also just received the news.    

“Chen'er, you..” Jiang Feng walked towards Jiang chen.    

“Dad, I feel like something is wrong here. The only thing I can guarantee is that there is no way my answer will not pass the test.”    

Jiang Chen's tone was quite firm and there was no doubt.    

Jiang Feng originally wanted to comfort his son, but was silent for a moment after hearing his words. His brows furrowed, “Then, this means that someone is plotting against our Jiang family!”    

“Sial, dare to do something even on the Hidden Dragon Trials, isn't this giving the royal family face? No, Brother Chen, we can't let them get away with it!”    

“True, we have to investigate it thoroughly. We must understand the reason if we want to die!”    

Jiang Chen reached out his hand, “I have to resolve this matter. Dad, stay inside the palace and avoid making ourselves a mess. Your child will go to a Test Trial site to search for my answer scroll. If it really is my fault, then I, Jiang Chen, am not someone who cannot accept losses.”    

He paused, and his words turned the other way as his tone hardened. “But if I find out someone did something bad, then this time they managed to make me angry.”    

The news of Jiang Chen not passing the basic examination quickly spread like a plague throughout the capital. Some people felt it was inconceivable when they recalled how great Jiang Chen was in the first two exams, whereas others rejoiced at his suffering.    

Of course, more and more people are taking a wait-and-see attitude. Those with the slightest bit of brain could sniff out the conflict present and could hear the sound of bloodthirsty armored cavalry inside.    

When Jiang Chen arrived at the Exam testing site, the place was already crowded with people waiting to see the show!    

“I want to check my answer scroll!” Jiang Chen bluntly.    

There was nothing to be underestimated by Jiang Chen, because now someone had been bullying him.    

“Check your answer scroll? According to the rules, you are only entitled to apply after three days.” The eyebrows of the official in charge frowned slightly and he did not even raise his head. His voice was lazy, as if he was about to die.    

“I want to check it now!” Jiang Chen said shyly.    

"Who do you think you are? Check it because you said so? On what basis?”    

On this basis! Jiang Chen's palm slapped the table hard, and the dragon medallion symbolizing the royal family was completely embedded on the metal table, leaving a large, easily visible mark.    

"What?" The official in charge immediately woke up upon seeing the item. He frantically stood up and left behind a panicked and battered sentence. “Please wait here, I will tell my boss.”    

With the dragon medallion engraved on his path, this meant that he had the imperial edict of Eastern Lu at the Examination testing grounds. All hardships simply become a floating cloud in the face of royal power.    

“Young Duke Jiang, according to the rules, it will take three days before a request can be made to check your answer scroll. However, since you have the Royal Token, you do have the qualifications to get special treatment. Let's do it this way, wait a minute while I pull up your answer scroll. In addition, the inspection of the reels needs to be done under the personal supervision of our main organizers. Now, since our Mr. Du has not arrived yet, you may have to wait.”    

“No need to wait, I will supervise in person.” Right now, a sharp and loud female voice sounded from outside.    

The head turned and saw that it was Princess Gouyu, wearing leather clothes and boasting a very heavy body that caused nosebleeds.    

The royal princess and the royal token appeared all at once at the Test Test site. This immediately makes the atmosphere of the site a scene.    

Everyone knew that Princess Gouyu usually did not care much about the affairs of the Hidden Dragon Trials. He sometimes only controlled it remotely and sometimes had Du Ruhai give a report.    

Putri Gouyu is the main organizer of the first – in charge, by name. But, Du Ruhai had always been responsible for this matter. It was not unrealistic to say that Du Ruhai covered the sky with one hand.    

Except, no one would have thought that the usually aloof Princess Gouyu would come down personally today.    

"What's? Could it be that even I, who is the number one main organizer, do not have the authority to decide the matter of the Hidden Dragon Trials?”    

A cold expression appeared on Princess Gouyu's face.    

Organizer Ma's forehead was sweating and he didn't even dare to breathe. He immediately went to pull out Jiang Chen's reply scroll.    

After going through the process, the four answer scrolls finally unfolded one by one. The scroll examination begins under the testimony of several examiner authority figures.    

“This is not my answer roll!” Jiang Chen shook his head with a cold smile after taking a quick glance.    

Organizer Ma turned his gaze to officials from various subjects in charge of reading the exam. He asked, “You're the one who rated this answer scroll. Take a look and see if this is what Jiang Chen.” handed over    

All the officials saw and said, “This is indeed a roll of answers that we rated. Look at these answers, unbearable mistakes and omissions, answers that are irrelevant to the question, responses that make absolutely no sense. We really can't get past it with a roll of answers like this.”    

Various subject officials are chosen to read the exam naturally because they have authority, have integrity, and are able to gain acceptance from others.    

The observers' first opinion was that Jiang Chen's answer scroll was indeed very bad after hearing the officials' words.    

Princess Gouyu's phoenix eyes made a swift movement as she looked towards Jiang Chen.    

“Don't look at me. This stupid answer scroll certainly didn't come from me. You are the main organizer of the Hidden Dragon Trial, you take care of it.”    

Princess Gouyu inwardly clenched her teeth. Would it kill you, bad boy, to speak a little more fluently? He had to take a little change and take issue with the matter to create space to maneuver.    

“Everyone has their own explanation of this issue. As an organizer, I cannot side with any side. How about this, let's have Jiang Chen take the exam again now?” Princess Gouyu's proposal was born out of compromise.    

Various subject officials also did not care. It just read that scroll again.    

However, some disagree.    

“Princess, this should be avoided at all costs. The ancestors established a law that there should be no makeup if the exam does not pass after the deadline. The princess was the main organizer and a royal princess. How can an ancestor's warrant be written off only for the heir of a duke?”    

It was said that he had not come yet, but Du Ruhai appeared just in time.    

“Du Ruhai..” Jiang Chen vaguely guessed something when he saw Du Ruhai's face.    

“Jiang Chen, you disregard the law and discipline, greatly disturb the Exam testing place, your crimes are heinous!”    

“Bringing rules, tempting the princess into chaos, planning to abolish the orders of the ancestors, you traitors!”    

“You are only the heir of a duke, how dare you!”    

Du Ruhai's words sprayed one after another and one after another great evil was tied to Jiang Chen's head.    

The nose of the maker almost reached around Jiang Chen.    

At this moment, an incredible sight occurred!    

Jiang Chen's arm twisted as he ruthlessly slapped Du Ruhai's face.    

Jiang Chen, don't be rash! Princess Gouyu spoke in a hurry.    

But, a searing and stinging violent slap had landed firmly on Du Ruhai's face. The bright red mountain formed by the five fingers imprinted on Du Ruhai's face, looked even more conspicuous due to his gloomy and dark face.    

“Du Ruhai, I've warned you not to mess with me. But you can't be fixed. A man will not die if he does not seek death. Since you seek death, I, Jiang Chen, will satisfy you!”    

“Come, I want you to accompany me to the Aurum Imperial Hall. I'd like to face you in front of His Majesty. If my answer scroll is wrong, then I will obediently give up the rank of a duke. If someone is toying with him, then Du Ruhai, the head on your shoulders is mine!”    

Jiang Chen completely ignored the total chaos that occurred at the scene, completely ignoring that stunned expression as he stepped out like a shooting star, speeding straight towards the Aurum Imperial Hall.    

Leaving a site full of a crowd of dumbfounded people – is completely glued.    

Princess Gouyu was expressionless as she also left quickly, leaving Du Ruhai not even having time to shed tears if she wanted to cry.    

“Yes God! This Jiang father and son wanted to rebel! Defeating the organizers of the Hidden Dragon Trials, greatly interrupting the testing grounds of the Trials, abolishing the ancestral warrants! I would also like to present my case to His Majesty in the Aurum Imperial Hall. This official seat will destroy the Jiang family clan!” Du Ruhai's expression was grim!
