Chapter 240: I'm here to fall in love_1

Since Li Xuan was going to observe the ceremonies and enjoy the festivities, he decided to invite Xue Yunrou along.

Although he hadn't seriously pursued romance in his past life, he knew that women treasured companionship. He didn't want to risk being outdone by other men, so he decided not to leave his girlfriend behind.

When they arrived at the external academy of the Guozi Bureau at Yuhuatai for the second time, escorted by Wang Jing and Long Rui, they found it already teeming with people, with crowd rubbing shoulders and jostling for a sufficient view.

Li Xuan found the Guozi Bureau's selection competition rather dull, yet the number of onlookers proved considerable.

Apart from scholarly students and noble maidens from Nanjing, the majority of the crowd were local residents.

Although most of these average folks had no understanding of the scholarly arts, it didn't prevent them from joining the lively gathering.
