The gigolo kept by the matriarch turned out to be the heir to a wealthy family.

Chapter 63 National Unified Examination

With the national unified exam just around the corner, Wu Chen and his friends were the most worried and anxious. They heard from Han Wenqian that Yun Yao hadn't studied properly at all. She went to the amusement park on the first day, slept on the second day, and went shopping on the third day. That was fine, since they hadn't had high hopes for her anyway. But Han Wenqian said that since Ge Xiaoxiao came back from Yun Yao's house, she had been absent-minded, often daydreaming, and even getting simple practice questions wrong one by one.

Their Imperial University's archaeology department was already short of talent. Although Han Wenqian was studious, he simply didn't have the talent. All the professors in their office had pinned all their hopes on Ge Xiaoxiao, and now they were being told that Ge Xiaoxiao wasn't in the right state of mind either.

"Old Song, what are we going to do? Whether our archaeology department at Imperial University can redeem itself depends on this unified exam, but these kids are all so unreliable!" Gu Feng was so anxious that he kept slapping his thigh.

Liu Yanzhi sighed repeatedly from the side.

The archaeology department at Imperial University already has ridiculously high admission scores, so naturally very few people are capable of getting in. The archaeology department at Imperial University is depleted of students; for so many years, it hasn't even produced a decent student. This has led to Imperial University's archaeology department being unable to hold its head high in the archaeological community and always playing the role of being ridiculed and mocked.

Wu Chen shook his head and plopped down in a chair.

"Now we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate. If neither Ge Xiaoxiao nor Han Wenqian makes it into the top 100 in the country in this unified exam, I will resign from my position at Imperial University. University A has already extended an olive branch to me." Wu Chen said calmly.

With the final layer of secrecy broken, the remaining two professors also revealed their true intentions. It turned out that they were all prepared to change jobs.

Therefore, success or failure hinges on this one move.

On the day of the unified examination, the entrance of the National Language University was noisy. While waiting for the exam, the candidates were all flipping through their materials, and their faces were full of tension.

Han Wenqian looked at Ge Xiaoxiao, who was looking around, and became somewhat impatient.

"Can you stop swaying around? It's really affecting my studying!" Han Wenqian looked down at Ge Xiaoxiao, his eyes full of disdain.

Just last night, Gu Feng suddenly approached him, saying that the three professors had placed all their hopes on him and that he must do his best.

Doesn't this mean I'm better than Ge Xiaoxiao? It seems that when it really matters, those professors still have to rely on themselves!

As Han Wenqian thought this, he straightened his back considerably.

"Ge Xiaoxiao, it's already this late, why aren't you taking the time to read a book? What are you reading? You're not... looking for Yun Yao, are you?" Han Wenqian followed her gaze, his eyes full of mockery.

In that case, I should thank Yun Yao, who always drags me down. If it weren't for her, how would I be ahead of Ge Xiaoxiao now?

Ge Xiaoxiao ignored the gossip and her eyes showed a hint of worry.

The exam was about to start in half an hour, but Yun Yao was nowhere to be seen.

I reminded her several times yesterday not to be late, but it seems she didn't take it to heart at all.

Ge Xiaoxiao took out her phone, about to call Yun Yao, when she heard a commotion not far away. She glanced up and caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure in the crowd.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled foolishly at the figure approaching her.

Even though Yun Yao had anticipated this scene, she was still utterly speechless when she experienced it firsthand.

"Isn't that Yun Yao from Imperial University? The one who claims to be the patriarch of the archaeological world!" As soon as the words were spoken, a burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.

"This is hilarious! I want to see how many points this patriarch of the archaeology world can get. I don't know where she gets such a big face. She's really disgracing Imperial University!"

"You bet! If she even passes, I'll eat shit while standing on my head!"

Although Yun Yao had anticipated this scene, she was still speechless when she experienced it firsthand. She glanced at the person who said he wanted to eat shit upside down, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

I never imagined that in the 21st century, people would still place such a huge bet.

"Yun Yao!" Ge Xiaoxiao's voice cut through the crowd and reached Yun Yao's ears.

Upon hearing Ge Xiaoxiao's voice, Yun Yao's body stiffened for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal.

Looking up, she saw Ge Xiaoxiao squeezing through the crowd towards her.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, only Ge Xiaoxiao was willing to stand by her side and face these rumors with her. At that moment, Yun Yao was moved.

Before Ge Xiaoxiao could come over, Yun Yao took a step towards her. The people around her were shocked by Yun Yao's aura and unconsciously made way for her.

Ge Xiaoxiao was already short, making it even more difficult for her to squeeze through the crowd. Just then, someone held her wrist, and a cold touch came from her wrist. She suddenly looked up.

Then, he met Yun Yao's eyes, which could hold the stars.

"Goddess... Goddess." Ge Xiaoxiao felt her heart racing, and she stammered.

Seeing Ge Xiaoxiao like this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Yun Yao's eyes.

This little girl is usually so carefree, but why does she become so timid and hesitant in front of me?

"Silly girl, stop standing there, it's time to go into the exam room," Yun Yao said, reminding everyone as they rushed towards the door.

Ge Xiaoxiao then came to her senses and somewhat embarrassedly pulled her arm away from Yun Yao's grasp.

"Goddess, I'll be going now. Good luck!" Ge Xiaoxiao lowered her head, not daring to look Yun Yao in the eye.

If she looked up at that moment, she would definitely see the doting look in Yun Yao's eyes.

"Okay, good luck to you too. If you do well on the exam, I'll give you a gift," Yun Yao said softly.

Ge Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with starlight.

"How do I know if I did well on the exam?" Ge Xiaoxiao couldn't hide her excitement.

This question stumped Yun Yao. Seeing Ge Xiaoxiao's expectant eyes, Yun Yao didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm. After thinking for a long time, she finally said, "Top ten, I guess."

Ge Xiaoxiao: "..." Love came too fast, like a tornado.

Ge Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she agreed.

"Okay, I will do my best!"

Looking at Ge Xiaoxiao's confident and determined face, Yun Yao resisted the urge to pat her head.

"Go."

Under Yun Yao's watchful gaze, Ge Xiaoxiao skipped and hopped into the examination room. Perhaps she was too excited, because she almost twisted her ankle when she went up the steps.

Yun Yao looked helpless and turned to walk towards the examination hall in the opposite direction.

The exam bell rang, and the students picked up their pens and buried themselves in the exam papers.

However, there was one person who was different.

Yun Yao stared at the contents of the test paper, lost in thought.

What is this thing? Briefly describe the deeds of Zhou Wan, the Imperial Preceptor of the Qingyue Dynasty?

Why are the words "Zhou Wan" appearing so frequently? Is everyone really interested in Zhou Wan's story?

Looking at the topic above, Yun Yao was stumped. Putting aside their intentions, asking her to write about her own life story seemed rather strange.
