Chapter 64: The Top Scorer in the Imperial Examination

  After the trip to Tiger Leaping Gorge, Xuan Qi and Xia Xiao Yu's relationship didn't progress as quickly as Lao Ding had imagined, but instead became a bit more distant on the surface.

  But that's just on the surface.

  Actually, after that night by the lake, the relationship between these two young people had become much closer. The distance between their hearts had narrowed a lot.

  However, Xuan Qi and Xia Xiao Yu understood that this was not the time to talk about romance. At present, Xia Xiao Yu was still too young, if she indulged in emotions too early, it would affect her academic performance.

  Xuan Qi understood the principle of "missing what's in front of you", so he deliberately kept a certain distance from Xia Xiao Yu. Sometimes, having an appropriate space and distance can make emotions even more beautiful.

  The feelings between Xuan Qi and Xia Xiao Yu were just like that, ambiguous yet beautiful. Although they didn't say much to each other, they could understand each other's intentions.

  Xia Xiaoyu understood that if she really wanted to develop this relationship, it would have to wait until after she went to college. At this point, she couldn't help but start worrying about Xuan Qi's college entrance exam scores.

  "Brother Qí, today seems to be the day for checking high school entrance exam scores. Aren't you going to go to school and take a look?" On the day before the high school entrance exam scores were announced, she arrived at Xuán Qí's house very early, preparing to wake up Xuán Qí.

  After returning from Hu Tiao Xia, Xuan Qi's days were extremely bitter. After competing with that female ghost, Xuan Qi felt that he still had room for improvement in his mystic skills.

  Apart from this aspect, his daily cultivation was equally diligent. The amount of spiritual energy absorbed by Xuan Qi every day had been steadily increasing, constantly accumulating in his body.

  Although it is said that spiritual energy became thinner and harder to absorb later on, Xuan Qi made up for the lack of quantity with time and diligence.

  However, because of such late-night training and early rising, he would take a short nap after finishing his training every day to recharge his energy and have the strength to continue with the next part of his training.

  The Xuanmen's path is vast and grand, its depths immeasurable. Xuan Qi was clear-headed, he knew that to truly preserve the name of the Orthodox School, he needed sufficient strength.

  To achieve all this, he must work hard.

  It is worth noting that among the five major systems of Xuanmen, namely "Shan, Yi, Ming, Xiang and Bo", any one of these systems can provide a lifetime of study.

  There's really too much to learn in here.

  Yanbu, which includes the secret techniques of cultivating one's mind and body. It is divided into five categories: Xianxue (Immortal Studies), Daofa (Taoist Methods), Huantong (Mystical Arts), Yuling (Spirit Control), and Bingzhen (Military Formations).

  The medical department, namely traditional Chinese medicine, includes three major parts: acupuncture, prescription and spiritual therapy.

  Destiny, also known as destiny technique, is to infer a person's life trajectory and six relatives' fortune information based on the time and space of their birth. Destiny mainly includes GanZhi method and astrology, which can be further divided into seven politics and four remainders, Ziwei Dou number, five-star technique, Jianchu technique, four pillars eight characters... and other schools.

  Divination, mainly used for predicting good or bad fortune. Divination is also divided into formula divination, hexagram divination, miscellaneous divination, and easy occupation. Among them, Taiyi, Qimen, Liu Ren are formula divinations; Mei Yi, Liu Yao are hexagram divinations; character measurement, dream divination, lottery drawing are miscellaneous divinations; milfoil divination, coin tossing are easy occupations... etc.

  Just some of these major skills are branches that will exhaust a person's lifelong energy, and they can only barely grasp some superficial aspects.

  Wanting to master it, but still don't know how much effort is needed.

  Now Xuan Qi is moving towards this goal.

  As for the college entrance examination results, it's not a big deal for Xuan Qi. He doesn't worry about this so-called college entrance examination results now either.

  For him, the college entrance examination is just an experience, and it's not something that needs to be particularly nervous or concerned about.

  After all, the outcome of a matter has long been known, so it is impossible to get excited. The only suspense is whether this time's champion can be taken.

  However, compared to his calmness, others cannot be calm.

  For a long time, Chinese people have attached great importance to the college entrance examination. The results of the college entrance examination determine the future fate of many people.

  Even Xuan Qinghe, who had been traveling abroad for a long time, called back and said that as soon as the results were announced, he would call to tell him, so that he wouldn't worry.

  Xuan Qi originally planned to go to school a bit later, but seeing Xia Xiao Yu's excitement, he helplessly shook his head and said: "Alright, I'll wash up immediately and then go take a look at the results."

  The current college entrance examination scores are not like the ones that can be inquired through hotlines or websites. At this time, most of the college entrance examination scores must be obtained from schools to know.

  Just as Xuan Qi was slowly brushing his teeth and washing his face, a sudden commotion was heard outside the door. Along with the commotion, a string of firecrackers suddenly went off with a loud crackling sound.

  "What's going on? Is someone in the village having a wedding or something? How come I don't know about it?" Xuan Qi looked at Xia Xiao Yu with confusion, but saw that Xia Xiao Yu was equally perplexed.

  Just then, a horn honked outside the door. Xuan Qi walked out to take a look and saw two jeeps and a small sedan parked outside the door.

  Xuan Qi took a closer look and saw that they were two Beijing Jeeps and one Audi official car. In later generations, such cars would not be considered rare items.

  However, in this era, these cars and jeeps were all precious and rare items. At this time, the entrance of the Xuanqi family was already surrounded by people, and children stood beside the car with admiration, but they did not dare to get close, fearing that they would damage these precious items.

  They knew that even if there were ten of them, they still couldn't afford this car.

  At this time, several middle-aged people got off the car. The one in front was Xuan Qi's head teacher. At this moment, his forehead was shining with sweat: "Xuan Qi, hurry back to school! Your grades are out, 730 points, first place in the country, champion!"

  "Boom!"

  Upon hearing this news, the children who were watching from beside the Xuan Qi's house immediately dispersed and ran towards their homes, wanting to spread this major news.

  At the same time, several people got out of the car. Xuan Qi took a closer look and found that these people were probably some leaders, their aura was much stronger than ordinary teachers.

  The principal of Lianxuan Qi School could only stand by and watch.

  Apart from these leaders, there were also hosts carrying cameras and holding microphones. At this time, they probably wanted to interview Xuan Qi as soon as possible.

  "Alright, got it."

  When he heard his class teacher tell him about his results, Xuan Qi simply nodded calmly, as if the person who got this result was someone else, and there wasn't much excitement in his emotions.

  Everyone thought he would be overjoyed, excited, thrilled and tearful. But he just nodded, his expression as calm as ever.

  "I've finally changed my own destiny!"

  Xuan Qi said to himself in his heart at this time, a memory of before he was reborn flashed before his eyes. At that time, after seeing the results, he cried uncontrollably and locked himself in his room for several days without eating or drinking.

  Compared to Xuan Qi's calmness, Xia Xiao Yu excitedly jumped up and said: "Qi Ge, you're too amazing! Over 700 points, how did your brain grow, it's so amazing!"

  "Xuan Qi fellow student, you are the pride of our Xiangling City. Today, I represent the city to award you a 10,000 yuan scholarship, rewarding you for bringing glory to our Xiangling City."

  At this time, a big shot who only appeared on TV, the mayor of Xiangling City, took out a big red envelope and handed over a thick stack of money to Xuán Qí.

  At this time, the camera also opened, followed by an interview with the host.

  Later, Xuán Qí was invited by them to the school and gave a report. After that, Xuán Qīng also returned and set up a three-day banquet in the village.

  At this moment, Xuan Qi's name was known far and wide, becoming a model and idol for everyone.

  Wherever he goes, he receives praise and applause. For the national college entrance examination champion, everyone gives a thumbs up.

  Xuan Qi received more courtesy this summer vacation than all the respect he had received in his past life. Cheers, praise and blessings poured in endlessly.

  Xuan Qi's heart was filled with complex emotions, and he didn't know what to say for the better.

  For him, this is a perfect start, heralding a bright future. After his rebirth, he finally did something that changed his fate.

  Before, all those things he did were mostly for others.

  Xuan Qi also understood at this time what it meant by "one move makes a name known throughout the world".

  However, at this time, Xuan Qi felt a little regretful. He thought that if he had been a bit more low-key at the beginning, it would have been better not to take first place, and it would have been even better.

  At least, he will get less attention and won't be so busy that he doesn't even have time.

  After being crowned as the top scorer in the college entrance examination, Xuán Qí's social engagements and interactions increased dramatically.

  These things are all very complicated, but for Xuan Qi, it is also an opportunity to temper himself. This social interaction has made him much more mature in his dealings with others.

  At least now he can talk fluently in front of TV cameras.

  The national media's enthusiasm for the top scorer in the college entrance examination is astonishing, with everyone talking about Xuan Qi, this living legend, discussing this strange person who scored 730 points.

  Xuan Qi's background, family and some messy private life were all dug up and exposed on TV and in the newspapers.

  Xuan Qi went from being unknown to a public figure overnight. His every move was splashed across the pages of many newspapers, and his college entrance exam essay was once again taken out for discussion.

  Xuan Qi understood that this was a temporary Gaokao effect. After the two months of summer vacation, everything would return to calmness. At that time, he would be his old self again.

  However, Xuan Qi didn't know that his fame had brought him trouble. At this time, several undercurrents were quietly surging towards Xuan Qi.

  It's just that he doesn't know about it yet.
