Five days passed quickly, and the day of the exam finally arrived. As dawn broke, the area outside Xingyao Academy was already filled with examinees.

Lin Zeyang stood spiritedly in the crowd, looking at the nervous young faces around him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

After checking their belongings, the candidates entered the examination room one after another. Lin Zeyang found his seat, took a deep breath, opened his examination basket, and took out his writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

At this moment, he felt a sense of oppression around him. Many candidates seemed calm and collected, but their foreheads were covered in cold sweat.

Seeing this, Lin Zeyang couldn't help but shed a tear of sympathy for them. This was only the beginning, and they were supposed to stay in the examination hall for three days.

That kind of willpower isn't enough; you're still too young. You need to train harder!

Lin Zeyang thought about all sorts of things, and soon the invigilator handed out the exam papers. Lin Zeyang calmly reviewed the exam papers first and thought they were all quite simple.

Gradually, he began to take the questions seriously. Although the test papers were simple, he still treated them with care.

As time passed, the examination room became quiet, with only the scratching sound of pens touching paper. Lin Zeyang answered the questions smoothly, thanks to the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, which made the questions seem simple and easy to understand.

The candidates were busy and the three days passed quickly without them realizing it. The chief examiner put down his teacup, then tapped a clock beside him and said, "The exam is over. All candidates, put down your pens, take your personal belongings, line up and prepare to leave the examination room."

Lin Zeyang walked slowly out of the examination room with the group, a confident smile on his face!

He knew he had done very well on this exam!

As he left the examination hall, he was surrounded by anxious family members and servants. Lin Zeyang looked around and soon saw Cheng Ying and her daughter waving at him.

"Father, over here!" They stood next to their family's carriage, led by their coachman who had come with them earlier.

Just as Lin Ziyang was about to walk towards them, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder from behind. Lin Ziyang turned around and saw that it was Yan Rufeng, Xiao Pingzhi, and Chu Yu.

Because there were too many people, Lin Zeyang pointed to his horse and shouted, "Go over there!"

So the group arrived at Lin Zeyang's carriage. "Brother Zeyang, how did the exam go?" Chu Yu asked.

Just as Lin Zeyang was about to answer, Yan Rufeng spoke up, "Judging from your spirits, Brother Zeyang, you must have done very well on the exam!"

Upon hearing Yan Rufeng's words, the other two looked at Lin Zeyang's face. Indeed, as Yan Rufeng said, everyone else looked haggard, but Lin Zeyang seemed unaffected by the three days of exams.

Moreover, they were quite envious of Lin Zeyang's confident expression.

Xiao Pingzhi cupped his hands and said, "Judging from Brother Zeyang's current state, I can predict that this exam will go very smoothly!"

Although Lin Zeyang was very confident in himself, he couldn't say it like that, otherwise it would be too infuriating, so he changed his words.

"During this period, I have been nourished by my daughter and wife's tonic soups, which have made me stronger and stronger, enabling me to successfully cope with the three-day exam."

Lin Zeyang attributed the credit to his family's love and dedication.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, their servants found them.

So they got into the carriage together, intending to go back first!

There are too many people here, and if you speak softly, you can't hear them clearly.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Eunuch Yuanfu also received a reply from the Emperor. However, the Emperor's decree was ambiguous, only telling them to continue to observe and not to act rashly.

Grandpa Yuanfu considered that it might be what the paper said, that he would come to Fengqi City in half a month.

As for who is coming to Phoenix Perch City, they will have to continue monitoring them until His Highness Prince Rui and His Highness the Crown Prince find out.

In his reply to the Emperor, he mentioned this matter and sent the missing person notice back to the Emperor along with the note.

His guess was that the Emperor probably wanted them to wait a while longer to see if anyone else would come looking for Prince Rui and his group!

Because throughout this whole affair, it's clear that His Highness Prince Rui and his group were searching for someone with a specific purpose, and that they gathered together with a specific purpose in mind.

Once His Highness Prince Rui and his entourage have all arrived, they can go together to inquire about the cause of the matter, and then the problem will be easily resolved.

So it was as if the two sides had reached a tacit understanding, and they were all waiting for Cheng Ying's side.

Lin Zeyang's family, however, did not plan to wait for the exam results and wanted to go directly to Fengqi City, since the results would not be available for another two weeks.

Just as they were about to set off for Phoenix City, they were greeted by a group of unsurprising guests: people sent by Liu Haoyang and his sister's father to pick them up!

Moreover, Liu Haoyang's older brother, Liu Yuyang, was among those who came. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his two younger siblings were unharmed.
