This time, everyone stood according to their rankings and sat behind the first twenty tables.

Lin Xiaoyue only realized now that Mo Fei, who had gotten second place, was actually an old man.

Moreover, among the twenty people who entered the rankings, there were very few young people. Almost all of them were middle-aged and elderly.

Mo Fei saw Lin Xiaoyue looking at him and he nodded at her.

When he was waiting for the results outside, he had also gone over like the others to listen to her explanation of some of the questions.

He realized that although this person was young, her mathematical attainments were really high. He was also impressed from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment before nodding at him.

“Clang!” At this moment, the gong was struck once again.

Everyone looked up.

Eunuch Da Hu raised his voice and spoke again.

“It’s time for the second test.”

“For this assessment, His Majesty will personally choose the topic. In the time it took to brew a cup of tea, you must write down the answer. Those who answered correctly could continue to participate in the assessment. Those who answer wrongly will leave.”

“The assessment will continue until there are only three people left.”

“If there are less than three people left after the elimination. Then, the final eliminated people will have an additional match.”

Eunuch Da Hu looked at the crowd.

“Does everyone understand?”

“Understood.” Everyone replied.

Eunuch Dahu looked satisfied and looked at Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan nodded.

Eunuch Da Hu then turned to the nearby guard.

“The first question.” He said.

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards handed over a scroll.

After that, he unfolded it.

The scroll was huge enough for everyone to see the contents of the questions.

“Clang!” A gong sounded, and Eunuch Da Hu announced that they could begin answering questions.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at the questions on the scroll and began to read them silently.

As she read, she noted down the key points.

Because her reading speed was relatively slow, she was still looking up at the questions when the others had finished reading and were calculating with their heads lowered.

Seeing this situation, Emperor Yan’s eyes were filled with sarcasm.

Surprise! The original question was changed.

This time, she couldn’t cheat anymore. He wanted to see how she could continue.

Liu Wuji saw Lin Xiaoyue’s calm appearance. Although it was a little strange, he admired her very much.

Looking at her calm and composed appearance, his granddaughter must have a plan in mind.

Finally, Lin Xiaoyue finished reading the questions.

Then, the corners of her lips curled up as she began to calculate on the draft paper.

This question was not too difficult. Compared to the questions on the previous assessment paper, it could only be considered as an intermediate level of difficult questions.

After a while, Lin Xiaoyue calculated the answer.

To be on the safe side, she also used a second method to verify it.

After confirming that there were no problems, she wrote the answer on the test paper.

After writing the answers, Lin Xiaoyue raised her head and waited for someone to collect the exam papers.

At this moment, he realized that other than her, everyone else seemed to still be calculatin.

Even Mo Fei, who was beside her, was no exception.

Emperor Yan, who was sitting in the upper seat, was a little surprised when he saw that Lin Xiaoyue had finished her calculations so quickly.

Then, there was a wave of disdain.

She was definitely just writing a random answer.

Lin Xiaoyue didn’t know about this. She just sat there obediently and waited for the exam to end.

The main reason was that the second round of the assessment was a round-based elimination system, and the interval between each round was too short.

Even if she handed in her paper in advance, she had to wait in her seat.

Instead of that, it was better to wait for the guards to come over later to collect the papers.

After waiting for a while out of boredom, the gong finally sounded.

The guards immediately came over to collect the scrolls.

Immediately, the examiner marked the papers on the spot.

As there was only one question and twenty papers, the examiner finished marking the papers in a short while.

After checking the papers, he gave the papers with the wrong answer to Eunuch Dahu.

Eunuch Da Hu received it and immediately announced the elimination list.

The result was somewhat out of Lin Xiaoyue’s expectations.

In the first round, four people actually got the answer wrong.

In other words, there were only sixteen people left.

Emperor Yan was even more surprised.

He thought that Lin Xiaoyue would be eliminated in this round. Who knew that she would get the answer right.

How was this possible?

Yes, it was most likely a guess.

After all, the answer to the first question was eight, which was one of ten.

It was not impossible for her to guess correctly..
