<h4>Chapter 401: The Future Will Definitely Be Better!</h4>


    “So many impressive young people emerged in such a short period! The Lou family of the Prefectural Governor’s mansion indeed lives up to its reputation!”


    “However, I heard that besides the two young people from the Prefectural Governor’s mansion, who had made a name for themselves at the Fenghua Banquet, all the others are rtively unknown. Could it be that the Prefectural Governor’s Mansion wants to keep them low profile to use them as secret weapons?”


    The crowd was still discussing when they saw a group of people from the Prefectural Governor’s mansioning from afar. Amotion instantly erupted.


    “Coming! They’reing!”


    “Huh? Young Master Qinghe is alsoing!”


    “And Young Master Feng and Young Master Wuxin!”


    “The young people from Fengyang prefecture who had made a name for themselves at the Fenghua Banquet have alle, except for...”


    “Except for the person who had clinched the first ce, Lou Qianxue.”


    “I heard that she has enrolled, but she’s not here. So it’s considered a forfeit.”


    “A pity! Really a pity! I can’t witness the demeanor of the person in the first ce... ”


    Amidst the crowd’s discussions, Lou Xiaoxiao and the others met Hong Qinghe, Yang Feng, and Mu Wuxin.


    “Miss Xiaoxiao, Young Master Ye, what a coincidence.”


    “Yeah.” Lou Xiaoxiao nodded. “I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon.”


    As she spoke, her gazended on Hong Qinghe. “Young Master Qinghe, I hope that we can duel again.”


    Hong Qinghe smiled. “Sure.” Thereafter, he looked at the surroundings. “Miss Qianxue didn’te? She has really nned to forfeit? If she misses this time, she may have to wait a long time for such a good chance toe again.”


    “Qianxue...” Lou Xiaoxiao frowned, and her beautiful face became sullen.


    After Lou Qianxue had left, there had been no news from her for so long. Lou Xiaoxiao was very worried.


    After engaging in small talks, all of them went their own ways.


    Half an hourter, the recruitment teacher from the Imperial Academy announced the rules of the final admission examination.


    The top hundred contestants would individually draw lots and decide their own opponents.


    “Number 03, Lou Xiaoxiao!”


    “Number 27, Ye Zhuixun.”


    “Number 31, Lou Han...”


    One by one, the juniors from Qingyun City obtained their own numbers.


    After the lot-drawing, everyone’s opponent had been decided.


    “Number 3 Lou Xiaoxiao versus number 98 Hong Qinghe!”


    “... I’m actually going against Young Master Qinghe again!” A sh of perseverance swept past Lou Xiaoxiao’s eyes. “It had only been an exchange at the Fenghua Banquet and losing was harmless! But this time... If I lose... I’ll be rejected by the Imperial Academy. I have to win! I must win!”


    Amidst the lively sounds of rejoicing, the final admission examination officially started!


    Pairs of young practitioners entered the stage and fought. They tried their best andpeted with one another.


    From time to time, exmations, sighs, and cheers rang in the entire ce...


    Everyone was engrossed in the fights.


    A short whileter...


    Lou Han from the Prefectural Governor’s Mansion won.


    Lou Qing from the Prefectural Governor’s Mansion won.


    Ye Zhuixun from the Prefectural Governor’s Mansion won.


    Lou Xiaoxiao from the Prefectural Governor’s Mansion... won!


    In just a few days, Lou Xiaoxiao had actually surpassed Hong Qinghe. Her talent in cultivation left others shocked.


    And what stunned everyone even more was that all of the young people from the Prefectural Governor’s Mansion in Fengyang prefecture who had taken part in the selection trial had won!


    All of them obtained the qualification to enter and study in the Imperial Academy!


    Lou Potian, who was amongst the crowd watching the battle, became so agitated that tears welled up in his eyes. “I didn’t expect... I didn’t expect such a proud day toe for my Lou family from Qingyun City!”


    However, he could not help himself from feeling regretful. “It’s a pity that Qianxue is not here. All of this is only possible because of her... But these little fellows have really worked hard!”


    Leng Qianhan, who stood behind him, also gazed at those juniors.


    He had been at Lou Qianxue’s side when they were in Liuyun Prefecture. Hence, he knew how the juniors in the Lou family and Lou Xiaoxiao were like at that time.


    Because of this, his emotions were even stronger, not any less than Lou Potian’s.


    He had a kind of confidence for no apparent reason. As he looked at those juniors, he firmly said, “Miss’s and their future will definitely be better!”
