Whenever someone submitted their booklet, the outstanding examination candidates in Jiying Hall couldn't help but quicken their pace. Soon, more candidates were submitting their booklets one after another. Su Ke was not in a hurry at heart; it was only a matter of completing a writing assignment before the sunset. Moreover, his pace was not slow.
When about half of the candidates had left the Jiying Hall, Su Ke finally finished writing his dossier carefully, collected it together, and submitted it as well.
The one responsible for collecting the dossiers was none other than Lord Xue himself, the Grand Scholar of the Hanlin Imperial Academy, while the Chief Examiner, Lord Gao, was sitting right next to him, with a few supervisors moving back and forth on both sides.
Upon seeing Su Ke coming forward, Lord Xue, as if he did not recognize him, took the dossier and casually asked, "You are Su Ke?"
Su Ke bowed with his hands clasped, "Your student is indeed Su Ke."
