The Rebirth of the Prince: Starting from Not Being a Doglicker

It was noon, and the time was approaching for the Palace of Literature to announce the results.

Su An prepared his carriage and headed to the Palace of Literature to check the list. Danqing reported,

"Sir, we have found the Koizumi Peak you are looking for."

"Where?" Su An felt happy.

"The back mountain of Nanfu Academy." Danqing said.

"Nanfu Academy..."

Su An pondered in his heart.

That secret technique was extremely important to him, and he was determined to obtain it.

But Koizumi Peak is in Nanfu Academy, so he can go to Nanfu Academy to practice first, and then return to Guanwenxue Palace after obtaining the secret technique.

Although the Nanfu Academy is not as good as the Guanwen Palace in all aspects, the Taoist books in the Sutra Library of the Nanfu Academy can meet his needs at the current stage.

Just do it.

But I still have to go to the Palace of Literature, at least to tell the deputy chief priest.

Su An brought Su Wan and Wang Shishi to the square outside the gate of Guanwenxue Palace to wait.

At the beginning of the Si hour, the staff of Guanwen Palace opened the door and posted a red list with the names of selected candidates on the wall outside the palace.

The square was filled with candidates and parents waiting for their results to come out, flocking to see the red list.

Su An asked Danqing to go and see the ranking.

Danqing took the order and left. People were crowded in front of the red list.

Many people were so crowded that their clothes were in disarray and they looked miserable. Some even lost one of their shoes.

Danqing had no intention of squeezing in with them. She released the aura of a third-level swordsman, and the parents and candidates who were looking at the list in front of her shuddered at the sharp aura.

They glared behind them, wondering which family was so domineering as to use their power to bully others at this time.

After seeing the ID card on Danqing's waist, they quickly suppressed their anger and took the initiative to make way for Danqing.

Unlike the last time he acted bravely, this time Danqing wore an ID card with the emblem of the Shenwei Marquisate.

Among this year’s candidates, it is estimated that no one has a greater background than Su An. As the only son of Marquis Shenwei, he always has many privileges.

Everyone made way for Danqing to come to the red list. She knew that Su An's grades were very good, so she started looking from the first place.

"First place, Xie Te."

"Second place, Sima Wanyi."

"Third place, Bi Chi."

Su An was not among the top three. Danqing was stunned and continued to look down to the fourth place.

"Fourth place, Qiu Kun."

……

……

"Tenth place, Li Hua."

Su An’s name was not in the top ten. Danqing frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, and continued to read.

"No. 11, Jian Bi."

……

……

"Two hundredth place, Shao Huo."

The Palace of Literature recruits 200 people every year. Danqing looked through the entire red list of 200 people several times but could not find Su An's name.

In the carriage, Su An, Su Wan and Wang Shishi were chatting while Danqing lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.

"How is it, which place is Su An?" Su Wan asked.

Although the deputy chief priest said that Su An was most likely to be the number one, he still felt a little uneasy without actually seeing the list.

"There is no prince."

Danqing was silent for a moment.

"What did you say?" Su Wan frowned.

"There is no prince on the list." Danqing said.

"What's going on? How could there be no Brother Su An?" Wang Shishi couldn't believe it.

"Sister Danqing, maybe you missed it."

"I read it several times from beginning to end, and there is indeed no prince." Danqing said in a deep voice.

Su Wan knew Danqing's character, she was careful and steady. If she didn't find it, then Su An was definitely not on the list.

"Why is Brother Su An not here?" Wang Shishi was puzzled.

Su An had some guesses in his mind.

"Let's go in and ask." Su Wan took Su An and Wang Shishi, and took Feiyue and Danqing with her, and got off the carriage.

"I want to see why the Palace of Literature removed Su An's name from the list." Su Wan's eyes were cold.

Everyone walked towards the Palace of Literature. Someone came up to ask them what they were doing there. Su Wan did not give a reason and said directly that she wanted to find the deputy chief priest who was in charge of admissions.

When the man saw that the visitors were the son of Marquis Shenwei, the daughter of Marquis Shenwei, and the daughter of General Huoqi, he did not dare to stop them and took them to an attic, which was the office area for the teachers and gentlemen of the Palace of Literature.

Everyone went upstairs and came to a room, which was the room of the deputy chief priest.

Danqing walked up and knocked on the door, and a man in green who looked like a servant opened the door.

When everyone entered the room, the deputy chief priest was sitting behind a desk, reading a book on Taoism.

The deputy chief priest looked at the people who entered the room, Su Wan who looked unhappy, and Su An beside her, and his face turned bitter.

"Mr. Zhao, I want to know why Su An's name is not on the list?" Su Wan asked.

"Prince, Miss Su, originally the prince was ranked first in this assessment."

"But... Zhou Wenruo from the second branch of the Zhou family told me in the name of the Zhou family..." The deputy chief priest looked embarrassed and hesitated.

"What did he say?" Su Wan looked at him sharply.

"He said..." The deputy chief priest gritted his teeth and said what Zhou Wenruo said.

"The Crown Prince has a corrupt character and is unworthy of entering the Palace of Literature. The results of this assessment will be invalidated..."

Su Wan's face suddenly turned cold and she said angrily.

"What a great Zhou Mansion."

"Su An saved Zhou Qingyu's life, and it would be fine if they were ungrateful, but they even came here to cancel Su An's grades."

"Is there no one in my mansion bullying me?"

The deputy chief priest looked bitter.

He didn't want to cancel Su An's result, especially since he had assured Su An yesterday that he was the first.

He was just a small deputy chief priest, which seemed like a big shot to ordinary people, but he was nothing in front of the two behemoths, the Shenwei Hou Mansion and the Zhou Mansion.

He couldn't afford to offend either of them, but Academician Zhou was his boss's boss's boss, so in comparison, he couldn't afford to offend the Zhou family any more.

Zhou Wenruo asked him to cancel Su An's grades in the name of the Zhou family, so he had no choice but to do so.

"Make up for Su An's grades." Su Wan said lightly.

"Miss Su, this is inappropriate..." the deputy chief priest said with a wry smile.

"Does Zhao Jijiu also think that my Shenwei Marquis Mansion is easy to mess with?" Su Wan's face was cold.

"I..." The deputy chief priest felt helpless. He couldn't afford to get involved in the fight between the gods from the Zhou Mansion and the Shenwei Marquis Mansion.

"Zhao Jijiu has no choice. Wan'er, there is no need to make things difficult for him." Su An said at this time.

The deputy chief priest cast a grateful look at Su An, saying that the prince was really considerate.

"You've prepared for so long, but now you don't want to get in because the Palace of Literature says you don't want to get in." Su Wan was very unwilling.

It was Su An who saved Zhou Qingyu, but Zhou Wenruo cancelled Su An's grades. She couldn't swallow this.

Su An was not that angry. He just couldn't find a reason to go to the Nanfu Academy without arousing suspicion. This provided him with a perfect excuse.

As for having his grades cancelled, he wasn't worried.

Zhou Wenruo must have suspected that he was related to that group of evil cultivators, so he acted like this.

But Zhou Qingyu believed in him, so he could return to the Palace of Literature at any time through Zhou Qingyu.

"Wan'er, let's go find Qingyu. If she helps, Brother Su An will definitely be able to enter the Palace of Literature." Wang Shishi suggested.

Zhou Qingyu is the eldest granddaughter of Lord Zhou, the only daughter of Grand Secretary Zhou, and the most talented person in the Zhou family. To some extent, she can represent the Zhou family better than Zhou Wenruo.

Su Wan snorted coldly. Zhou Wenruo's behavior also made her impression of Zhou Qingyu decline a lot.

"Let's go to Zhou's house. I want to know why Mr. Zhou dares to criticize Su An's grades."
