"That little illegitimate girl really got admitted!"
The release of examination results naturally brought joy to some families and sorrow to others, but most of the children from the big families in Capital City were okay. Even if some of the children primed for intensive training didn't get admitted, most didn't envy those illegitimate children momentarily succeeding. Although they envied the opportunity to stay in a place with such high spiritual energy, those truly promising descendants generally had the breadth of mind to accommodate others.
Moreover, many descendants simply spent too much energy focusing on inheriting techniques and had too little time to engage with rational learning, leading to their failure. Yet, those with exceptional talents were mostly quite confident in themselves. A temporary setback didn't affect their mindset, and many believed that they could catch up and gain admittance to Jiangnan in at most half a year.
