That morning Yu Jie was ready to leave the inn, her appearance looked different from usual because she had had had time to buy several pairs of clothes for preparation.
The long hair that was usually draped now Yu Jie tied up, giving a neat impression in line with the simple robe on his body.
“Ehemm, I am Yu Jie, a scholar-to-be who has a thousand dreams," Yu Jie muttered in front of the room mirror.
Yu Jie nodded in satisfaction, she already looked different enough that it was almost impossible for anyone to recognize her.
Yu Jie then left for the city center, the academy's acceptance exam was today and Yu Jie wanted to take part in the exam.
Not how long Yu Jie walked, he finally reached where the royal academy stood, quite spacious and in the middle there were so many people there.
Every one who came was directed by the academy to gather in the field, those who came were indeed mostly prospective students similar to Yu Jie.
“As the head of the academy, I welcome your arrival the seedlings who support the progress of the kingdom, however you must not first be happy because to be accepted, you have to go through many things."
Yu Jie only listened lazily to the welcome given by a middle-aged man, even so Yu Jie could still catch what was delivered by him.
Scholars were similar to cultivators, they also had an important role in government. Like a counterbalance between strength and intelligence that can be a determinant of the kingdom's advance.
If cultivators were mostly placed in the military, scholars would be placed in the administrative part of the work and this was just as important even though most scholars were still looked down upon. Such is the case if the speech of the head of the academy to make the students happy.
“So welcome from me, I hope that you get rid of your inferiority mind just because you can't be a cultivator, because smart learners like you are also worth the work." The academy chief closed his speech.
“Omong is empty, no matter how smart they learn it will still not be able to survive if a cultivator wants their life," Yu Jie murmured.
Yu Jie and the other would-be disciples themselves were then directed to where the first exam was held, it was a large hall-like room with quite a lot of tables.
“Hey, look. Isn't that Jang Kao?"
Some prospective students seemed excited when a young man entered the room, where the young man was already famous in the capital as the smartest young man in terms of learning.
“Sial, if she takes her exam. Then it was confirmed that one academy bench was his."
“Not only certainty is accepted, the first stage of the acceptance exam also seems to have been determined by the owner."
The conversation continued to be heard from the prospective students talking about Jang Kao, making Yu Jie also glance at the young man in question because of curiosity.
The fragile body that might fly when hit by the wind was also a pale face looked sickly, the young man was the one who had been showered with praise.
“What is Smart?" muttered Yu Jie, quite disturbed by the noise that appeared.
Apes as Yu Jie muttered, the prospective disciple nearby heard it all, making an unwanted furore happen to Yu Jie.
“Hey, what were you talking about? Don't you even know who he is? He is Jang Kao, Young Master of the Jang noble family as well as the most genius young generation in learning. How dare you doubt her!!!"
Yu Jie patted his forehead, someone who spoke out loud enough that those who did not know at first were following him.
Yu Jie's words that seemed to doubt the quality of a Jang Kao were finally heard directly by Jang Kao himself, making Yu Jie's displeased gaze receive from the young man.
Sure enough, not long after that Jang Kao walked over to where Yu Jie was, making the two instantly the center of everyone's attention there.
“Did you really say that?" ask Jang Kao.
Jang Kao suddenly smiled gently no matter what he meant, after which he leaned closer to Yu Jie's ears and said, “It's definitely disturbing, especially if it's spoken by a commoner like you."
After saying this Jang Kao stepped away from Yu Jie, his gentle smile not missing making many people believe that Jang Kao is a kindhearted person to not be offended at something like this.
“Sial, already insulted even though Young Master Kao still not angry. Young Master Kao is indeed up to his reputation."
“You're right, if I were him, I might have scammed the trash out of nowhere."
Yu Jie could only let out a long sigh, he did not know what to do to resuscitate everyone there if the Jang Kao they praised was only a two-faced human, “It's so annoying this brat."
Yu Jie tried to hold back his emotions, what Jang Kao did was clearly a flutter of war flags so he could not keep quiet.
Amidst his boisterous disdain speech regarding Yu Jie while the complimentary sentence rained down on Jang Kao, Yu Jie suddenly raised her hand high signaling everyone there to be quiet.
What Yu Jie did managed to ease the fanfare, every eye was now fixated on him waiting for Yu Jie to convey his reason for doing that.
Similar to most people, Jang Kao who was in direct disagreement with Yu Jie obviously did the same thing.
“Does he want to tell you that I insulted him? Just do it, no one will believe it anyway" muttered Jang Kao.
Yu Jie immediately smiled cynically at Jang Kao's muttering, “You think I'm stupid to do something that will definitely fail?"
“Friends, please forgive me if my previous remarks seem offensive. Not that I meant to do that, but just an honest form of my innermost heart because I felt like everything about it was something exaggerated." Yu Jie with a innocent face without sin.
Many people there immediately looked at Yu Jie in disbelief, they questioned the contents of Yu Jie's head to the point of daring to say it all.
“Brother, why do I feel like you've come back to insult me with your words?" Jang Kao from his place, his face actually looked calm as he spoke.
Yu Jie could only curse inwardly, the faces of two Jang Kao really already did not help himself realize.
“Sial, you think only you can?" yu Jie muttered.
Yu Jie took a deep breath before letting out his best smile, after which said, “Brother Kao, maybe this is not wearing for you but the fact should still be your acceptance."
“What facts should I accept, Brother?" Jang Kao smiled back.
“The fact that Brother Kao is actually mediocre, even I'm sure your cleverness probably won't be a quarter of mine."
Yu Jie said it with a friendly smile, making Jang Kao as well as everyone who heard the strange stare, not understanding Yu Jie was now being low or was elevating himself.
“Really? Then what if we prove it in the test later, who gets the higher ranking will win, agree?" Jang Kao with a furious face but tried to be detained.
“Good idea, Brother Kao. I hope you are truly willing to accept defeat from me," Yu Jie said.
The two young men's competition finally started in the middle of the royal academy's entrance examination, the expressions of the two young men looked friendly but not with the contents of their heads.
“Damn, disgusting commoners," inner Jang Kao.
“Face two damn, if I'm here no interest, I've slashed your neck from the beginning," Yu Jie's inner.
