Dongfang Buliang and Xifang Liang, Yanying Academy's main team suffered a crushing defeat in Area A and was eliminated in the first round, but the deputy team won with a complete record in Area B and defeated Yuqing Academy.

This made Master Liu overjoyed. Although there were huge challenges ahead, he defeated Yuqing Academy and let out a bitter breath in his chest.

At the end of the first day of the competition, the layout of District A has become clear. County School Affiliated School, Changqing School and Yuqing School won the first place in each group and entered the semi-finals.

Another place in the semifinals will be generated from the B.

After the first round of the battle in District B, the deputy teams of the four universities all performed well. Except for the Yuqing Academy's deputy team being eliminated, the deputy teams of the other three schools will enter the second round of competition.

The winner of the second round will receive the last ticket to enter the semi-finals. Who will win the final prize has become the focus of everyone's attention.

When leaving the county school, Xu Ji accelerated his pace and hit Fanning's shoulder hard from behind. He hurriedly held Fanning, "Sorry! I'm walking too fast."

He apologized, but while helping Fanning, he whispered in his ear: "If the mountains do not turn, the water will turn, one day you will fall into me. Then I will deal with you well!"

Fanning smiled coldly and replied, "Everyone is each other, but then I will kick you into the cesspool and make you smell bad for the rest of your life!"

"You!" Xu Ji was furious and clenched his fists.

At this time, the Master Liu behind suddenly realized something was wrong and shouted angrily: "Xu Ji, what are you doing?"

Xu Ji let go of his fist, he turned around and looked at Master Liu with great resentment, and then said to Fan Ning: "Boy, let's take a look!"

He left the county school with a quicker pace.

Yuanzhu Liu walked forward, gently held Fan Ning's shoulder, looked at Xu Ji's back and said, "I used to value him very much, but now I can see through his character. His mind is not upright and has no tolerance. At most, I can get a little bit of the embrace of my father and grandfather, and I will not be able to do big things in the future."

Fan Ning smiled and said, "Master, I am quite upright in my mind and have a lot of tolerance. I've been a little tight recently. If I get the ranking in this competition, will there be any heavy prizes?"

"Go! You little money fan, let's talk about it after you get the ranking!"

Fanning was not willing to let him go, and then reached out to ask for money. "There is no reward in the army, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. If the horse wants to run fast, the horse must eat enough. I know that the owner of the hospital has always been frugal, but it's okay to draw a cake!"

Master Liu was so pestered by him that he could only smile bitterly: "I have never seen a shameless student like you, so do this! If you can win the first place this time, as a reward, your father will be exempted from the rent in Yishengtang!"

Fan Ning was stunned, "Yishengtang is also your old man's property?"

Yuanzhu Liu patted his chest and smiled, "Don't I look like a pharmacy?"

Fanning rolled her eyes, "I think you are like a pawn shop who specializes in exploiting me, a poor student!"

"You little brat!" Master Liu was so angry that his beard was crooked.

After Xu Ji and the other two were eliminated, they went home. Xu Ji's home was also in Wuxian. After he returned home, he locked himself in his room and sulked.

If he hadn't been attacked by Fanning last night, he wouldn't have gotten sick in the morning, and wouldn't have performed poorly in the game, and he would definitely be able to defeat Yuqing School in the end.

Unfortunately, an unstoppable disaster deprived me of my chance, and the root cause of my illness was that bastard Fanning.

Thinking that his future was destroyed by Fanning's hands, Xu Ji gritted his teeth. If he gave him a knife, he would want to kill Fanning and get there soon.

At this time, his room rang with a "bang!bang!", and Xu Ji said impatiently: "I said not to disturb me!"

"It's me!" His grandfather's stern voice came from outside.

Xu Ji was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door. Grandfather Xu Chong walked in. His eyes were very strict and he stared at Xu Ji like a knife.

Xu Ji was very panicked. He was frightened by his grandfather's gaze and his whole body was cold, as if he was about to freeze his blood.

"The competition is over, why don't you go to Juxianlou to have a few drinks to celebrate?" Xu Chong said coldly.

"My grandson knows his mistake!" Xu Ji lowered his head and whispered.

"You are not wrong. It's me that's wrong. I'm too strict with you and don't give you alcohol. This makes you drunk on the night of the game. It's me that's wrong!"

Xu Chong's tone was very plain, but his eyes could no longer control the anger in his heart.

Xu Ji knew his grandfather too well, and the more dull his tone, the more it meant the turbulent anger in his heart.

He would rather scold his grandfather like a storm than hear his grandfather's understatement.

Xu Ji knelt down, tears of regret poured out, and sadness began to cry.

"It's because my grandson is wrong. I'm too late to regret it if I did something wrong!"

Xu Chong looked at his grandson coldly, hoping that his grandson's crying would touch him, that would be wrong.

"The third family rules, blame yourself!"

Xu Ji raised his palm and slapped him hard in the face, and another palm in his left hand.

Each palm was slapped heavily, and the face was cleared. This was the Xu family's family rule. From the age of thirty, the palms must be slapped firmly. If you dare to slap a lightly, the groom will punish you again.

After thirty slaps in a row, the originally handsome face disappeared, turning into a purple fat pig face, and blood marks appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Xu Chong then sat down and asked, "I heard that you were plotted against me, who did it?"

Xu Ji didn't dare to say Fan Ning, that would only make his grandfather look down on him even more.

"Yes... it's the tall guard of Zhu Pei."

Actually, there is nothing wrong with Lu Youwei being caught by the female guard and thrown back.

Xu Chong frowned. Of course, the guards would not attack people for no reason. This must have been instructed by Zhu Pei.

"Why did the little girl do this?"

Xu Ji did not dare to hide it, so he could only whisper: "She formed a team to compete with the fisherman's son. His grandson felt angry, so he begged her to advise her not to participate. Perhaps she guessed that it was her grandson's intention, which angered her."

Xu Chong was so experienced. He immediately understood that his grandson's real target was probably the fisherman's son. After a while, he snorted: "I can't do anything small, and I'll humiliate myself. You really disappoint me!"

Xu Ji quickly argued: "Wu Jian originally wanted to spend money to bribe a few scoundrels and beat him up so that he could not get up the bed the next day, but his grandson disagreed."

"absurd!"

Xu Chong slapped the table so angry that he slapped, angrily: "If he reports to the official, once the county magistrate catches a few scoundrels and gives you a gift, you will never participate in the imperial examination in your life. Wu Jian has no brains and will not be with him in the future."

"Grandfather, what should I do now?"

Xu Ji hugged his grandfather's legs and cried, "The grandson has been eliminated and cannot participate in the boy test, and his grandson's future is ruined."

Xu Chong snorted coldly, "You know you're anxious now. Since you know that the future of the imperial examination is important, why should you go to drink?"

Xu Ji was extremely regretful, so he wanted to slap himself thirty more.

Xu Chong looked at his grandson's swollen face like a pig's head, and he was suddenly furious.

‘Liu Yantong, do you really think my grandson is dough, and you can pinch it if you want?’

As night fell quietly, Fanning sat alone in the room reading a book. He changed into a white linen gown and still wore a scholar's scarf on his head.

He was fascinated by reading the book and did not notice that someone walked into the room.

"What book are you reading? You're so fascinated!" someone asked with a smile.

Fan Ning raised his head and immediately startled him. It was Zhao Xuezheng who came.

He quickly stood up and saluted, "Student Fanning, see the academic administration!"

"You're welcome, Fan Ning and County Magistrate Li are here to visit you!"

Behind Zhao Xiuwen was the county magistrate Li Yun, who was looking at Fan Ning with a smile on his hands.

Fan Ning was in a hurry. If the county magistrate told him another reason, would he still sleep tonight?

But at this time he didn't want to think too much, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Students meet the Lord of County!"

He was a student to meet the county magistrate, and it was not rude not to kneel down. If he was an old country farmer, he would have to kneel down and give a big gift.

Li Yun has been a county magistrate in Wu County for four years, and it happened to be a turning point in his career.

It is precisely because it is a critical moment in his career that he attaches great importance to some things that are beneficial to his image and reputation, such as this child prodigy selection competition.
