I have an exam tomorrow, I really can't read anymore. It's been seven days since I last updated, I have to come back and update

The imperial examination is held once every eighteen years. Both the civil and military examinations are held this week. Of course, the civil examination is held in Kyoto. Students from the entire empire gather here this week. The inns in Kyoto and surrounding cities are already overcrowded. If you take a few steps at night, you can see students who have no place to stay sleeping on the street. They don't feel ashamed and no one laughs. After all, in the Dimension Empire, scholars who have the courage to take the civil examination are worthy of respect.

But this week there was something different from the past. There were more people taking the martial arts exam staying in the inn than those taking the civil service exam. It was unclear why, but in this exam, the scholars taking the civil service exam tacitly gave up their beds to those taking the martial arts exam.

After a busy day, Yingying and Xin Yixi returned to the temple from Kyoto and soaked comfortably in the hot spring.

As the chief examiners of the martial arts exam, Yingying and Xin Yixi never relax for a moment of the whole day. Unlike the literary exam, the martial arts exam is extremely likely to result in death. In addition, the aristocratic families have become more and more active recently. It is necessary to prevent the chosen ones born into wealthy families from falling into the hands of the aristocratic families as usual.

"I'm so tired. I was so careless. I was distracted for a moment and almost lost my life."

Xin Yixi grumbled in a low voice while soaking in the bath.

"We can't help it. Black Falcon is short of people right now. It's totally not enough to rely on them alone."

Yingying felt a little overwhelmed when she thought that there were still twenty-four spirit generals of destruction who were still missing.

"I finally have a good life now, but now I'm busy again."

"Alright, alright, stop complaining. Go to bed early today. You have to get up early tomorrow to see how the literary exam goes. Then you have to rush to the martial arts exam location outside of Kyoto."

"Got it~"

Xin Yixi pouted her lips. During the day, many people doubted her identity. In addition, her and Yingying's behavior was very intimate, which made many people begin to doubt their relationship. This made her a little worried.

"What are you thinking about? You've been feeling depressed all day."

Yingying's puzzled question brought Xin Yixi back from her thoughts. Looking at Yingying's slightly red face, Xin Yixi felt inexplicably at ease, as if with her around, all she had to do was act cute and be her little baby. But she knew in her heart that Yingying was under a lot of pressure, and she had to work hard to share the pressure with her.

"Nothing, are you tired? I'll give you a massage later?"

Xin Yixi shook her head slightly.

"No, in fact, being just the examiner is a lot easier than usual."

"Then let's go to bed first."

"Don't want to play for a while?"

"It seems you are not tired yet."

"You, what do you want to do..."

Xin Yixi looked at Yingying who was getting closer and closer to her, her face slightly red as she stepped back.

"of course……"

Yingying gently lifted Xin Yixi's chin and kissed her softly while Xin Yixi avoided her gaze.

"Well……"

Although this has happened many times, Xin Yixi's heartbeat still speeds up every time. But every time under Yingying's subtle teasing, she would close her eyes and cooperate after a while.

About half an hour later, Yingying came out of the barrier carrying the exhausted Xin Yixi. Xin Yixi's legs twitched unconsciously from time to time, seemingly because of the pain.

Yingying gently put Xin Yixi into the bed, quietly walked to the window, looked at the night sky, then closed the window and turned off the lights and went to bed!

The crisp bird song in the early morning woke Yingying from her sleep. She gently patted the little one who was still sleeping in her arms, and lightly touched her forehead with her cherry lips.

"Xiao Xi, get up."

"Mmm, no no, I'm sleepy..."

Xin Yixi pouted and rubbed her little face against Yingying's chest unconsciously, muttering in grievance.

"If you don't get up now, it will be too late."

"do not do it……"

"Then I'm leaving?"

"No, no, I'm up..."

Xin Yixi opened her eyes aggrievedly and looked at the helpless Yingying with resentment.

Just as they had finished washing up and were about to go out, they met eight guards carrying Yingmeng's phoenix sedan chair passing by the corridor.

"My son, I send my regards to my mother."

"Xin Yixi has met Aunt Ying."

Yingying and Xin Yixi hurriedly bowed on the side of the road.

"So early today? Going to Kyoto?"

With her delicate hands, Yingmeng gently lifted the curtain and poked her head out to look at Yingying and Xin Yixi with interest. There was a hint of laziness in her tone, as if she had just woken up not long ago.

"Well, let's go to Kyoto to take a look at the literature exam."

"Be careful on the road, Xiaoxi. You've been busy running around with Ying'er these days."

"Aunt Ying, you are too serious."

"Okay, I won't waste your time. Go ahead and be careful on the road."

"Uh-huh."

Watching Yingying walking away holding Xin Yixi's hand, Yingmeng nodded with satisfaction.

They look more and more like a young couple.

The literary examination has come to the second day. In order to maintain a good environment for the literary examination, all practitioners in Kyoto are prohibited from fighting within 20 miles of Kyoto and surrounding cities. They are also not allowed to walk in the air using spiritual energy as a medium. Once discovered, they will be punished according to the law.

Walking on the once bustling and noisy streets, the hawking sounds have become much quieter, and the areas near the cultural examination hall are even quieter and noisier, with people talking and chatting in very low voices.

After showing the princess' order, Yingying and Xin Yixi were led by the guards to the examination site for the written examination.

The examination room was completely silent, with only the rustling of pens and the occasional sound of flipping papers being heard. The examinees sat at their desks, concentrating on answering questions, sometimes writing furiously, sometimes thinking hard. What they wrote was not only their official careers, but also the future of an empire's literary world.

The invigilators patrol the examination room and maintain order in the examination. Not only do they not give candidates the opportunity to cheat, they are also always ready to lend a helping hand to candidates in need.

The entire examination room seemed like a still painting, with only sparks of thought colliding silently. Here, every candidate was working hard for their own future and for the future of the imperial literary world.

Seeing Yingying coming, the five invigilators immediately bowed and saluted without saying anything. Yingying had instructed this before.

During the inspection of less than half an hour, only a very small number of candidates noticed the arrival of Yingying and Xin Yixi, while the rest were resting or concentrating on answering the questions.

On the other hand, the Xuanling sisters and the Chiye brothers have begun to act quietly in Kyoto and surrounding cities to prepare for the Black Falcon's first operation.

In an unknown corner, a woman in a black robe was performing some kind of ritual in a dim basement. The smell of blood flowed out from the body of a girl who had lost too much blood and fainted on the ground, and seeped into the strange formation that was faintly visible on the ground. Under the nourishment of the blood, the formation was faintly visible, and it also illuminated the woman's wrinkled gray face.
