The students were amused by their conversation. Shu Nuan pushed Su Hai aside to look in the direction he’d been looking in. At the same time, Su Hai exclaimed, “What the…”
“From Class 10 to Class 1! You jumped straight to Class 1, and there’s only 13 students in it. Shu Nuan, how did you do it…?”
Everyone was shocked by Su Hai’s shout. One after another they cast their eyes toward Shu Nuan.
Throughout the day, the entire Yulin Academy was discussing the mind-blowing story of the girl from Class 10. The students of Class 10 were in particular talkative; they hadn’t expected such an intelligent person would be among them.
Shu Nuan was sought after all day, until she was called by Master Gao, who’d been teaching Class 10 for a lot of years. This was the first time one of his students had done such a brilliant job. He was delighted and explained, “You did great in this exam. Master Li recommended you, so don’t be afraid. Although Master Li didn’t praise you, he must value your achievement. After going to Class 1, you should study harder, since there may be opportunities to enter the Imperial Court.”
Shu Nuan was stunned, not because of the praise, but because Master Gao had said she had a chance to enter the court. At first she thought it was just Master Gao said offhandedly, but when she went to meet Master Li, he also claimed the same thing.
Shu Nuan couldn’t help but remind Teacher Li, “I am a young woman…”
Teacher Li understood what she meant, and snorted.
“Knowledge knows no boundaries, let alone the demise of the Qing Kingdom. You are now in Beiguo’s Royal Academy. With your ability, you are able to compete with other students.”
Shu Nuan probably hadn’t expected Master Li to say such a thing to her. After a long pause, she nodded her head and said, “Thank you.”
However, Teacher Li didn’t put on a good expression.
“Study hard and strive for good results at the end of the year, when there will be further opportunities.”
Shu Nuan knew what he meant and nodded gratefully.
“I understand.”

That day, the academy was undergoing a major reshuffling. However, the results of the top classes were not significant. Of course, the most striking thing was Shu Nuan jumping to Class 1 in one stroke.
Shu Nuan packed up her things and carried her bag as she followed Master Gao to where Class 1 was.
She found that Class 1 was much larger than Class 10’s yard, and the scenery was refreshing.
As Shu Nuan entered, she saw Master Ji, the invigilator for Class 10’s exam, standing on the platform at the front. He turned to look at her and found a rather calm exterior. Hooking up one corner of his lips, he said, “It’s you.”
The class assumed that Master Ji had noticed her existence while supervising Class 10’s exam. However, Shu Nuan felt that Master Ji was referring to when she’d witnessed his relationship with a female student. She hadn’t expected him to say it in front of the class.
Shu Nuan was given a seat near the window. However, when she sat down, she caught a glimpse of who sat beside her. Moving her head, she saw the student Master Ji had been having an affair with that day after the exam.
For a moment, Shu Nuan’s heart tightened. She didn’t know if Master Ji had done this on purpose.
