Surprise was not the sole preserve of Xin Lin; the faces of all the others who came to participate in the Zixiao Palace Exam were filled with astonishment.
"Silence, the examiners have arrived."
Captain Yang gave Xin Lin and Little Xinzhuo a meaningful glance, and as the Imperial Guards lined up in a row, two figures resembling court officials made their way over.
"These two are Mr. Wei and Mr. Huang, Assistant Ministers of the Ministry of Personnel. They will explain the relevant assessments of this Zixiao Palace Exam to everyone."
Captain Yang's voice boomed, echoing to every corner of the square.
Due to the unprecedented number of participants in this Zixiao Palace Exam, even North Square could not accommodate everyone all at once, therefore, it was said the assessments were to be held in three separate batches of people.
Xin Lin and Little Xinzhuo had arrived early and were grouped in the first batch, along with the son of the Grand Tutor, Jin Chen, and others.
