Days went by, and the day of the Imperial Examination soon arrived.
Huai Yu's injuries had almost entirely healed, scars still marked his waist and abdomen, but they were gradually fading thanks to the medicine Yan Xiaoliu applied, posing no hindrance.
These past days, Yan Wanqing had been preoccupied with matters of the Pine Crane Tower, meeting with Chai You to decide which students should participate in the Imperial Examination. She was so busy that she often worked late into the night, her exhausted figure noticeably more haggard.
Finally, the day of the Imperial Examination arrived, and Yan Wanqing had everything prepared early for the examination and personally escorted Huai Yu to the examination hall.
When Huai Yu walked in, Yan Lingzhen couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of her sister.
It was just like in those old days, a worried mother sending her children to the examination hall.
"Let's go," Yan Wanqing said as she turned to speak to Yan Xiaoliu.
