Gong Yu came up with the fact that Gu Yanran was not qualified to participate in the Academy Challenge at all, and everyone in the Mansion Sect had a sluggish expression, and Gu Yanran was no exception.

However, Gu Yanran was really relieved when she knew that she was not qualified to participate in the Academy Challenge.

It's not that she doesn't have confidence in her four arts attainments, but she doesn't want to deliberately show off her knowledge to others, which is too ostentatious.

That's right, a few days ago, she did compete with Gong Yuyi's four artists in front of all the students and gentlemen of the academy.

But that was all in order to make others no longer question her four arts attainments, and she had to do it as a last resort.

And now, no one in the academy has any doubts about the four arts of 'Gu Yanran', and her goal has been achieved, so there is no reason to compete again.

I have to say that the new rules formulated by the Hanlin Academy have invisibly helped her.

Gu Yanran secretly breathed a sigh of relief here, and the other gentlemen were all depressed.

"Don't be like a lost dog." Xi Kun scolded the gentlemen with a dark face. "I lost the competition, but I want Mr. Gu to win glory for you......

How is this kind of behavior different from those who hire people to participate in the competition?

You are also one of the best artists in Yeyu Country, and if you lose the competition, you only blame yourself for not wanting to forge ahead!

The Academy Challenge is held once a year, which means that after each challenge, you have a full year to prepare for the next year's challenge.

But what about you?

If you don't work hard and don't say anything, you hope that the teenage girl will win back a game for you, don't you feel ashamed? ”

Everyone in the Mansion Sect was speechless when they were reprimanded by Xi Kun, and they couldn't find any excuse to refute at all.

"......" Gu Yanran sat in her place, also silent, she was not kind enough to rehabilitate others.

"But!" Xi Kun suddenly threw a sound, smiled and turned his gaze to Gu Yanran, announcing a news that shocked everyone. "Although Mr. Gu can't participate in the Academy Challenge this time, but

He will sit on the judging panel of the challenge in the dual capacity of 'External Bachelor of Hallym Academy' and 'Acting Governor of Shangheng Academy'. ”

Gu Yanran couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this. "(⊙_⊙) What?"

Of course, it was not only Gu Yanran who was stunned, but everyone in the Mansion Sect except Xi Kun.

"External bachelor of Hallym Academy? Acting Governor of Shangheng Academy? ”

"I'll go, this dual identity is too good, isn't it?"

"It's just an external bachelor from the Hanlin Academy, and he even has to ...... as the acting governor."

"So, the governor won't be the judge of the challenge this year?"

"Since Mr. Gu has been made the acting governor, he will definitely not be appointed."

"But in the past few years, the governor has taken the time to attend the challenge even if he is busy."

"Don't forget, the governor has another identity, he is a national teacher of a country, and he will attend the challenge at that time...... It's surprising to be so condescending, isn't it? ”

Xi Kun saw that everyone was very suspicious, so he took the initiative to explain. "The letter came to the National Teacher's Mansion early in the morning, and it was a letter written by the governor.

The governor had to deal with urgent matters and had left the imperial city overnight, and the time for his return was ...... The short is a few months, the long is several years, and there is no definite number.

For this reason, Mr. Gu has been appointed as the 'Acting Governor' of Shang Heng Academy, emphasizing that Mr. Gu will serve as the judge of the University Challenge. ”

Xi Kunyan knew the ins and outs, but for the people in the Mansion Sect, the decision of the Night Netherworld was too incredible.

No, someone is going to ask.

"How can Shangheng Academy say that it is also one of the top schools in Yeyu, and it is entrusted to a woman who has not yet reached the end of the year, what is the governor thinking?"

"Mr. Gu's talent and learning are obvious to all, we are convinced, but it is not easy to manage Shangheng Academy, how can she be competent?"

"If it's just a matter of a few days, it's just a matter of months, or years...... The governor's decision is too child's play, right? ”

Everyone made it clear that they were not at ease with Gu Yanran's management of the school, so there was a dispute between you and me for a while.

But Gu Yanran, the protagonist who was talking about it in everyone's mouth, couldn't even listen to a word.

I saw that her face was melancholy, and her eyes were dull, as if she had been hit extremely hard.

And in her mind, there are eight words hovering 'the period of return, there is no definite number', and they have been gathering for a long time.

Ah, don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, the reason why she looks gloomy is not because she can't bear the night.

She's just worried...... The departure of the night netherworld will cause the Netherworld Mansion to neglect the search for Nangong Xuanyi.

"Ahem." Xi Kun coughed vigorously, interrupting the commotion in the room. "Alright, alright, all quiet.

Maybe the old man didn't express it clearly, so let's elaborate again.

It is true that the governor appointed Mr. Gu as the acting governor, but he was only able to exercise the governor's rights during the challenge, not to hand over the decision-making power of all affairs in the government to Mr. Gu.

During the challenge, all the people in Shang Heng Academy, including the overseers and old men in the mansion, must look to Mr. Gu's head.

There should be no objection to this point, right?

If there are those who think that their knowledge can surpass Mr. Gu, or who think that they are more qualified to sit on the judging table, they are welcome to recommend themselves.

Even if the old man refutes the governor, he will definitely let you sit in the position of acting governor and assessor.

And then there's ......

Outside of the five days of the challenge, the affairs of the Fuchu will be handled by the Fuzong and the artist.

For the sake of fairness, if there is a disagreement between the government and the artist, a show of hands is required, and the opinion of the majority shall prevail. ”

As soon as Xi Kun explained this, everyone in the Mansion Sect was a little relieved, and their hearts were no longer as resistant as they were just now.

When Gu Yanran returned to Yingyue Mansion after the discussion of the Mansion was over, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

## #映月府, the main house

Zi Su was sweeping the scattered fallen leaves on the ground with a broom, and when he saw Gu Yanran and Gu Qiqiao coming from a distance, he leaned the broom under the tree and greeted him.

"Girl." Zi Su blessed Gu Yanran and asked. "Didn't you say you could go home by noon when you went out this morning? Why haven't you come back until now? ”

Gu Yanran smiled. "The temporary convening of the meeting in the school has delayed some time."

"I see." Shiso finally put his mind at ease. "You and Qiqiao have not returned for a long time, and the slave is still worried about whether something happened on the way."

"Oh, Sister Shisu, don't worry about coming." Gu Qiqiao put her hands on Zi Su's shoulders and pushed her in the direction where the stove room was. "Go and ask Sister Sitao to make some food, Miss Yan and I are dying of hunger."

Shisu was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. "Okay, you guys go into the house, I'll go to the stove room."

After Shisu finished speaking, he trotted away.

However, after only a few steps, Zi Su remembered a very important thing, so he turned around and shouted Gu Yanran. "Miss Yan, after you left the house in the morning, someone from the Netherworld Mansion sent a letter, and the slave maid put it on the bookcase in your house, remember to read it."
