My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

At the main gate of Lanting Tower.

Because Li Zhiwei and Lin Qinrou had invitations, and Jiang Xiaobai was wearing armor, the group entered very smoothly.

As soon as Jiang Xiaobai entered the Lanting Tower, he couldn't help but look up and his expression flashed with amazement.

It must be said that the design of the Lanting Tower is indeed exquisite.

From the outside, the building appears simple and dignified, but once inside, one discovers a hidden world within.

From the first floor, you can see the second floor, the third floor, and even... all the way up.

Each floor has a connecting corridor, which is not the usual straight line, but spirals upwards, gradually rising, yet very smoothly.

Standing on the first floor and looking up, one feels that the layers upon layers are like circles of literary energy supporting the building, giving the impression of lotus blossoms with every step.

"Young Master, this building is truly extraordinary!"

Zhang Xinnian also looked up and couldn't help but speak up.

"really."

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, his gaze continuing to sweep over the area.

At this moment, quite a few people have arrived at Lanting Tower, but most of them are concentrated on the first four floors.

The fourth floor had the fewest people, while the bottom three floors had the most.

Some were standing, and some were sitting.

After all, everyone got different results from yesterday's building entrance assessment, so where they can stand today will naturally be different as well.

Those who answer one question correctly can only enter the building, while those who answer two questions correctly can have a seat.

As for those who won the first prize, they were placed separately on a high platform at the front of the first floor.

The view from there is excellent; you can see upstairs and the people upstairs can see you.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at it and immediately understood that this was a display of the people who had won the armor, shown to everyone.

"Young Master Jiang, we'll go upstairs now."

At this moment, Lin Qinrou looked at Jiang Xiaobai and spoke softly.

"it is good."

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and smiled, "You guys go up first."

As Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, Lin Qinrou led Li Zhiwei and Qingyi toward the stairs.

But Li Zhiwei was clearly worried, and before leaving, she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xiaobai one more time.

Jiang Xiaobai noticed this, smiled at Li Zhi, and winked.

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Li Zhiwei's eyes before she turned her head away.

After the three left, Jiang Xiaobai turned his gaze to Zhang Xinnian and Tang Ningshuang: "Let's go, let's go sit in the Jia section too."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhang Xinnian responded, while Tang Ningshuang, carrying her sword, followed beside Jiang Xiaobai.

Soon, the three arrived at the Jia section, where several people were already sitting.

Jiang Xiaobai recognized one of them at a glance.

It was none other than Du Chong.

At that moment, Du Chong was chatting with two scholars next to him.

The others, however, sat there calmly.

Some people closed their eyes to rest, while others lowered their heads to drink tea.

As Jiang Xiaobai and his group approached, everyone's gaze fell upon them.

Du Chong naturally saw Jiang Xiaobai as well. His expression first darkened, but soon a smile appeared on his face.

"Young Master Jiang."

Du Chong looked at Jiang Xiaobai and slowly said, "This is where those who achieve the highest score in the assessment sit. You..."

Before he could finish speaking, his voice stopped, and Jiang Xiaobai slowly raised his left hand.

On his left hand, the character "甲" (jia) was clearly imprinted.

"It's just the character '甲' (jia), I have that too."

Jiang Xiaobai said something casually, and without waiting for Du Chong to speak again, he sat down in a seat on the side.

Zhang Xinnian and Tang Ningshuang stood behind Jiang Xiaobai.

Does Jiang Xiaobai also have the character "甲" (jia) in its name?

Du Chong frowned, and a scholar beside him glanced at Jiang Xiaobai with a somewhat indifferent look in his eyes: "Is he... the Jiang Xiaobai who bought the top scholar title?"

The sound wasn't loud, but in this Jiazi district, it was just loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Hehe, with family connections, you really can get whatever you want."

The other person chuckled softly, his tone mocking: "I didn't expect that they could even get their hands on the character '甲' (jia).

"You scholar, are you looking for trouble...?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinnian's eyebrows immediately furrowed, and he placed his hand directly on his broadsword.

If his son relies on his family background, then he won't say anything.

But his son relied on his own true abilities, and upon hearing these yin-yang words, he naturally became furious.

He had just taken a step outside when Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand and said, "Step back!"

Although Zhang Xinnian stepped back, he still glared fiercely at the scholar.

"You brute!"

The scholar's face was pale, perhaps due to fear.

"A brute?"

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at the scholar and said, "Hmph, without the 800,000 brutes of my Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, what makes you think you can shout here?"

"You brutes? How can you fight on the battlefield if you're not brutes! Are you going to fight with the books in your hands?!"

"Studying? I think all of you have wasted your time!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai picked up the teacup beside him and continued calmly, "Also, this character '甲'..."

"What, didn't you all just take a casual test and get those qualifications?"

Jiang Xiaobai paused for a moment and said, "How come I feel like... I didn't even have to think, yet I got everything right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Jia section fell silent.

Du Chong frowned, but soon he sneered inwardly.

It has to be said, Jiang Xiaobai is indeed quite arrogant.

But once those words were spoken, they offended... not just one or two people.

Sure enough, the two men beside Du Chong immediately turned pale.

On the other side, the people who had been sitting calmly turned their heads to look over, their expressions clearly showing displeasure.

They all have their own pride in getting an A grade.

But in Jiang Xiaobai's mouth, it became something that could be obtained with just a casual test!

Such words naturally made them uncomfortable.

Tang Ningshuang stood behind Jiang Xiaobai, watching this scene, but didn't think much of it.

Although this guy is sharp-tongued, she felt there was nothing wrong with what he said this time.

At this moment, Zhang Xinnian also felt much more at ease!

Despite the angry glares directed at him from District A, Jiang Xiaobai remained calm.

He finally understood why his cheapskate father disliked intellectuals.

Isn't this the kind of literati that's so annoying?

After reading a few books of sages and saints, he became arrogant and disdainful of everyone!

Screw him, let him curse if he wants to!

Yes, he is not afraid of offending people, nor is he afraid of offending even more people!

In a situation like today's, it's not something that can be resolved simply by being amicable.

Moreover, most success requires stepping on others to rise to the top.

One or two... are not enough for him.

A total of thirteen people received the A grade, right?

After he leaves, there are still twelve people left. It would be even more interesting if all twelve of them went up!

After all, only through absolute comparison can we achieve a better highlight.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai gently blew on the teacup and began to drink the tea.

Meanwhile, the rest of the people in Zone A were glaring at Jiang Xiaobai, trembling with anger!

Yes, this young master of the Jiang family is far too arrogant!

Du Chong sneered, preparing to add fuel to the fire.

But just as he was about to speak, he noticed something and immediately stood up.

Even at this moment, he voluntarily bent down...
