Chapter 198: Crisis!

As April rolled in, the aftermath of the Imperial Examination gradually faded.

Failed candidates had already embarked on their journeys back home.

Some, having witnessed the glory of the Advanced Scholars, secretly vowed to work harder during the next four years in preparation for the next examination.

Others, disheartened, abandoned their dreams of being listed on the golden roster, opting to pursue other paths.

For the new Advanced Scholars, it surely was a time to bask in success.

Those assigned near Chang'an had eagerly begun their appointments, while those with farther destinations were on their way to assume their duties.

Though Ministry of Rites was not far from home, Li Nuo had not rushed to report there but was instead teaching Jiaren and Yiren swordsmanship at home.

He dedicated odd days to Jiaren and even days to Yiren.

The insights Li Nuo had gained from the assassin on the Heavenly Mountain Sword Technique, he shared with them without reservation.
