Face Slapping Scholars

" What a crazy farmer! How can he keep dogs and chickens together? Won't the dog kill the chickens?"

" That's really a tricky question." Another one mumbled. " Maybe, there will be only dogs left after killing the chickens?"

" Damn it! Who made the question number 3? I want to meet him!"

" Uhh, Should I write the answer to question number 3?"

" Let's see who is brave enough to write the answer."

Jia Hao laughed when he heard the questions. " Damn it, What the hell with these scholars? Are you sure they are scholars and not some charlatans who came here to freeload?"

Initially, Jia Hao spoke in a low voice. But somehow, all the people who were writing the answers heard Jia Hao.

" Hmph! Where did this arrogant brat come from?"

" Damn it! You dare to mock us!?"

Jia Hao was stunned. 

'Weren't you guys writing answers? Or you guys were just pretending to be focused while your mind wandering somewhere else?'

" Ahem, Fellow brothers, don't mind my slip of the tongue. Please, go ahead and write down your answers." Jia Hao hurriedly spoke with a smile. After all, he really doesn't want to bother people in an unknown world.

Besides, Cai Lingzhi was just beside him a moment ago. However, when he turned around, he saw she already vanished.

' Damn it! This girl is really unreliable!'

" What apology? You are still gloating!"

" You think these questions are child's play?" A scholar walked out as he shouted. " If you have the ability, then write down the answer."

Jia Hao's eyes narrowed as he felt it was getting a bit too much. Hmph, For these questions, you guys are getting so flustered?

A mocking smile appeared on Jia Hao's face as he walked forward and grabbed a brush and paper.

" Then let me write down the answers!"

" Haha! Look at him! There is only a time of a quarter of incense stick!"

" You think you can complete the answer in such little time?"

" What a braggart!"

Jia Hai snorted as he barely took a few minutes before writing down the answer and submitting it to the one who was collecting the answer sheets.

" Let's see then."

' Hmph! How dare you to belittle me? I, a cultured modern person who reincarnated eight times!'

' Let me show you the immensity of heaven and earth.'

Everyone gave a mocking smile when they saw Jia Hao giving the answer sheet so fast. After all, Without calculating for a while, how could he be able to solve those difficult mathematical questions? Not to mention if one would only focus on logical questions, they would stump at the literary and tricky questions.

Jia Hao noticed Cai Lingzhi coming back as he waved his hands. " Hey! How could you leave so suddenly without me? I almost got lost."

" Ah, I am sorry, Brother Jia. It's just that an important guest came so I hurried and went to check on him." Cai Lingzhi sighed as she looked around her. " Eh? Why are they looking at you with such a strange gaze?"

" Hmph! Why do you care about them? They are just some frail twigs who are calling themselves scholars." Jia Hao grumbled. " I just said the questions were easy. It was them whose frail egos got hurt by my mere comment."

" Easy questions, huh?" Cai Lingzhi paused as she also looked at Jia Hao with a strange look. " You know that all people here who came to participate are those who passed the Imperial Examination, right?"

" So? I stand by my words." Jia Hao couldn't understand why people taking these questions seriously anyway.

" Did you write the answer?" Cai Lingzhi asked again. Jia Hao paused as he spoke. " Uhh…Yeah, I guess? Those guys were being a bit too much so… I also gave my answer paper?"

" Ah, I guess you are also interested in my sister, huh?" A smile crept on Cai Lingzhi's lips as she looked at Jia Hao.

Jia Hao was stunned as he realized that. " I… I didn't mean that, Sister Lingzhi." He hurriedly explained himself.

" It's just a written test and I answered just out of spite." Jia Hao chuckled. " Besides, Isn't the decision still in Miss Yixue's hand? No way she will accept me."

 Cai Lingzhi remained silent as she changed the topic. " Actually, I wanted to ask you about something. Those Energy Recovery Medicines, Do you still have it?"

Jia Hao remembered there was still a bar of chocolate left from the previous time as he nodded. " There is one remaining. Why do you ask?"

" Do you wish to sell it?" Cai Lingzhi looked at her. " It's really a precious item. So, I wonder how much…"

Jia Hao pulled out the chocolate and handed it to Cai Lingzhi. " Miss Lingzhi saved me last time. I trust that you will give me an appropriate price for this thing."

" Do you trust me that much?" Cai Lingzhi raised her eyebrows as she looked at her. 

Jia Hao grinned as he took a step forward, leaning towards Cai Lingzhi.

" I do believe the woman who saved me and took my first time."

Cai Lingzhi, who always appeared to be composed and cheerful suddenly blushed as she glared at Jia Hao. Suppressing her voice, she looked at him.

 " Hmph, You are talking like I didn't give you my first time at all."

" So, Does that mean you like me now?" Jia Hao grinned widely. Cai Lingzhi blushed further as she pinched Jia Hao's waist, making him cry out in pain.

" OUCH! IT HURTS!"

" Serves you right!" Cai Lingzhi held the chocolate bar and walked inside. Jia Hao couldn't help but rub his waist as he activated his Sage's Divine Eyes.

[ Energy Recovering Bar: Can instantly recover all the energy of Profound Awakening Realm and below practitioners]

[ Cold Iron Sword: A sword made with cold iron tempered a thousand times. It's sharp and precise, perfect for a swordsman]

Dozens of information windows popped out before Jia Hao as he looked around him. However, to lessen the expenditure of energy, Jia Hao tried to focus on fewer things.

Following Cai Lingzhi, they went to the main courtyard, where Cai Yunhai was sitting with another middle aged man. Although he looked very skinny compared to Cai Yunhai's size, Jia Hao could feel he was a witty fellow.

" Little Chanzi, You truly helped us a lot this time." Cai Yunhai smiled as he raised the wine cup before gulping it down.

" No need for this, Patriarch Cai." Ruo Chanzi chuckled lightly. " You and master are old friend. Since you requested his help, it's natural that he will help you."

" So, How is that old geezer doing? Still buried inside his pile of ancient texts?"

" Hehe, Patriarch Cai sure knows master best."

 Ruo Chanzi gave a wry smile. After all, How many can call the Grand Tutor of Great Yan Kingdom an old geezer like this?

Cai Lingzhi walked to them and bowed before Cai Yunhai, passing him the chocolate. Cai Yunhai nodded as he sniffed it. " This… Little Chanzi, Can you check this?"

" What's this?" Ruo Chanzi took it and closed his eyes. " Hmm, It smells very delicious. However…This…"

As he looked at the bar of chocolate carefully, his expression filled with surprise and amazed.
