Godly Empress Doctor

Chapter 557: Exam Papers

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

He figured it out almost right away. “There’s another explanation for that incident, isn’t there?”

By that incident, he obviously meant the one five years ago when Feng Wu lost her cultivation ability.

Feng Wu said, “Yes...”

Grand Secretary Fang nodded. He now understood why the girl had to hide her real ability at the cost of all those insults and contempt.

It was incredible that she could be this level-headed at such a young age.

The old man liked Feng Wu even more.

“But,” said Feng Wu, “Xuan Yi doesn’t know about my recovery...”

Feng Wu didn’t finish the sentence, but Grand Secretary Fang knew what she meant.

He nodded. “Your top priority now is to prepare for the written exam.”

Grand Secretary Fang then asked the old steward to fetch a stack of exam papers, then had the servants transcribe two copies.

Meanwhile, Steward Fang was instructed by the old man to set up a couple of desks and chairs in the main hall.

The papers, which still smelled of fresh ink, were laid out.

Grand Secretary Fang casually sat down in the head seat and waved his hand. “Finish the papers in two hours.”

Feng Wu and Chaoge looked at each other in bewilderment. Neither of them had studied the subjects or read the relevant books. The stack of papers was completely foreign to them.

Feng Wu picked up the first paper.

The first section was filling in the blanks.

A few characters were missing from a verse and one had to fill in the missing parts.

Feng Wu was well-versed in books and could finish five out of the ten problems. Chaoge, on the other hand, was at a complete loss. She knew next to nothing about literary works.

Feng Wu looked up at Chaoge and shook her head with a wry smile.

Although there were only ten questions, they covered a very wide range.

The study of nature, history, cultivation theory, formations, medicine... you name it. If one wasn’t well-read enough, they wouldn’t even be able to understand the question.

Poor little Chaoge...

Feng Wu then moved on to the second section.

One had to write something from memory.

And the subjects covered were just as diverse.

There was a random paragraph taken from some book and the candidate had to write down the rest of the passage from memory.

One could only answer the question if they had memorized the passage. Even after reading the passage, they might not be able to write down everything. However, if one hadn’t even read it, then...

This was the case with the sentence Feng Wu was reading. “Courtesy is the standard by which intimacy and remoteness is determined.”

Feng Wu was dumbfounded. Where was that sentence from? Although she had read a lot of books, she had never seen it before.

Because she didn’t know that sentence, she left the entire section blank.

The third section consisted of multiple choice questions.

“Write down the option(s) you deem correct in the bracket. The answer is only correct when it contains all the correct option(s) and only the correct one(s).”

Feng Wu read the questions, then rubbed her forehead.

They were incredible.

The subjects mentioned covered everything from astronomy and the universe, to medicine refinement... No subject was left out, and candidates who weren’t well-read enough would fail miserably in this section.

Section four was short answer questions.

The name of a practice manual was mentioned and the candidate needed to elaborate on the theory, techniques, and innovations.

The name of the manual on Feng Wu’s paper was “Ice Everywhere.”

Ice Everywhere? Feng Wu was elated!

She didn’t have the ice attribute herself, but she had a peerless beautiful master who knew all the attributes and all professions.

Her beautiful master used to explain all the attributes and skills to her. With his encouragement, she memorized everything, even though she hadn’t understood most of it.
