Chapter 551: Hahaha —
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Duan Chaoge had been wondering what her sister was going to show off, and she snorted when she heard Duan Chaoyin’s announcement. “So what if you’re taking the entrance exam for Imperial College?”
“So what?” Duan Chaoyin and Duan Chaoyue exchanged looks and both saw ridicule in each other’s eyes.
“Did you think that you can become a student of Imperial College just by applying? Of all the candidates in the empire, only ten thousand people can take the written exam. The top one thousand can go on to the physical tryout, and only the top one hundred from the physical tryout will be admitted. Do you have any idea how hard it is to register for the exam?
“However, both of your two elder sisters here successfully registered.” Duan Chaoyin gave Chaoge a sidelong glance. “Do you think that’s an easy thing to do?”
Chaoge rolled her eyes. “That’s it? You got registered for Imperial College’s exam? So did I! Big deal!”
“Hahahaha —”
“Ouch, my belly aches —”
Duan Chaoyin and Duan Chaoyue laughed until their stomachs ached. Especially Duan Chaoyin, who laughed so hard that she had to gasp for air.
“Hahaha — Duan Chaoge, I didn’t know you could be so brazen. I never knew you had this side to you. You registered as well? Ouch, my belly… I’m cracking up here.”
Duan Chaoyue, the more aloof one who didn’t talk much, couldn’t help but smirk. “Chaoge, did you forget the part of the rules where only a Level 9 Spiritual Master or above can take the exam?”
Chaoge rolled her eyes. “Of course I didn’t.”
“Then stop bragging! Are you hearing yourself?” Duan Chaoyin snorted.
Chaoge threw them a dirty look. “That’s the only way you know of to register for the exam? You people are so ignorant.”
Duan Chaoyin racked her brain in order to prove that she wasn’t ignorant. She then remembered the exemption, which was rarely used.
“The three recommendation letters from three members of the education board? Is that what you’re talking about?” Duan Chaoyue and Duan Chaoyin exchanged looks.
“Yep!” Chaoge grinned.
“Hahahaha —”
Duan Chaoyin and Duan Chaoyue burst out laughing again, even louder than before.
“My tears are coming out… Since when was Duan Chaoge so funny?”
“Can you believe what she just said? She has such a wild imagination… Does she take us for a pair of fools?”
“I’m telling the truth!” Chaoge snapped. “It’s true! The three members are Mr Lu, Grand Secretary Fang, and Old Master Wu. They wrote those recommendation letters for me!”
“Hahahaha —” Hearing those words, Duan Chaoyin and Duan Chaoyue, who had finally stopped laughing, guffawed again.
“This is hilarious. Gosh, I’m in tears…” Duan Chaoyin wiped away her tears. “I won’t even begin to talk about Mr Lu and Grand Secretary Fang. Old Master Wu himself is a well-known formation grandmaster in our empire. You can’t even get close to him. Who are you kidding?”
“I can’t, but Xiao Wu can!” Chaoge gloated. “Xiao Wu had the three bosses write the letters for us.”
“Xiao Wu? Which Xiao Wu?”
“You mean Feng Wu? The one you used to follow everywhere?”
“Yes!” Chaoge was very confident every time Feng Wu was mentioned. “Xiao Wu is the best! Not only did she persuade Old Master Wu and Grand Secretary Fang, she even got help from Mr Lu as well. Oh, right, and there was His Royal Highness. He put in a good word for us, too —”
“Hahahaha —”
