Chapter 1998: Chapter 2000: Presumably to Investigate the Informant

Xiaoxiao thought that growing up to be like Wang Kui is really nice; at least during times like this, you don’t need to argue, just standing there could easily overshadow those people, no matter what they’re thinking, it’s a complete victory!

Yang Qiu looked at her husband, eyes full of admiration, the more she looked, the better her husband seemed!

Only Yang Ming, seeing his wife’s admiring gaze and his sister’s adoring eyes, for the first time felt that growing up to be like himself wasn’t of much use.

At key moments like this, even his gift of gab wasn’t very useful, deeply understanding his wife’s saying, ’If you can act, don’t bother arguing.’

Sometimes, arguing doesn’t really solve anything!

With a sigh in his heart, he thought, forget it, forget it, before this matter is resolved, there will be plenty of situations like this. If he were to argue in every single one, he wouldn’t manage to.

Better to use Wang Kui to deter them!

The group then returned to the guesthouse.

Upon entering the guesthouse, they sensed the atmosphere was a bit off, without a doubt, knowing that Master Liu was spreading rumors inside.

Yang Ming was too lazy to care; after all, these people are just passing through his life. Soon or tomorrow, they’d all be setting off back home.

So he didn’t bother with the strange looks from everyone, and just headed upstairs.

Seeing Yang Ming’s attitude, everyone couldn’t help but talk among themselves, but discussion was discussion; ultimately they had to leave as staying an extra night cost Silver.

After packing their bags, most people set off, even Master Liu left, and the guesthouse quieted down quite a bit!

Seeing everyone gone, Xiaoxiao sighed, "Ah, finally these people are gone!"

"Honey, I’m guessing many will leave tomorrow. By then, other guesthouses will surely have space. Should we switch guesthouses?"

Seeing his wife so discontented with this guesthouse, Yang Ming smiled and agreed with a nod.

After chatting for a brief while, Xiaoxiao got sleepy and lay down on the bed to sleep.

She slept straight until dusk, awakening due to the bustling noise outside.

She couldn’t help but ask, "Honey, what’s happening outside?"

Yang Ming was equally confused, "It seems those returning home have come back!"

"What!" Xiaoxiao was stunned. They clearly checked out and left. Why come back?

"I’ll go out and see!"

Yang Ming said as he went out, with Xiaoxiao puzzled, she decided to get dressed and head downstairs to take a look.

Just arriving at the stairway, she heard someone speaking.

"Brother Yang, this time it’s a big matter; you might be called up for a talk by the authorities."

"What do you mean?" Yang Ming asked.

One of them spoke, "Brother Yang, you might not know, we were all set to return home. But at the city gate, they didn’t let us leave, saying they need to thoroughly investigate your issue, making all us candidates stay until the inquiry is complete."

This indeed shocked Yang Ming; he didn’t expect the Proctors would act so fast, keeping all the candidates.

However, thinking it over, if they want to investigate the person who reported, it indeed makes sense to start with all candidates.

But why not notify everyone at the examination hall, and instead intercept us at the city gate afterwards?

Sighing faintly, he said, "Seems like they’re investigating the person who reported, so don’t just assume I’ll be summoned; you all might be as well. Otherwise, why would they hold you all back?"

This statement made everyone uneasy again.

"No one knows who reported; such a nasty deed, causing all of us unable to leave, and spending quite a bit more Silver."
