Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Shao Yunduan planned to discuss matters with Lu Min and the Escort Agency, so Qiao Xuan took Liqiu and Lixia for a stroll.

Opportunities were scarce, and Qiao Xuan didn’t hold much hope for new crops like potatoes. However, she came across numerous apple and pear trees.

Lixia and Liqiu were easily deceived. Qiao Xuan found a pretext to send them away temporarily. She casually purchased fruit tree saplings and discreetly found a quiet alley where no one was around. There, she stored the saplings in her secret space for safekeeping.

After two days, all repairs were completed, and supplies were replenished. They set off early in the morning, accompanied by the four escorts.

It was early March, and the weather grew warmer as they journeyed northward.

The sun beat down intensely.

Thankfully, the weather remained pleasant, making the travel much more comfortable.

Three days later, they arrived at the capital.

“We’ve finally arrived! ”

Shao Yunduan, Lu Min, and Gu Zhiyou all gazed at the capital with different expressions.

For scholars in the world, the capital represented not just a city but also the starting point of their aspirations.

No matter how ambitious one might be, if they didn’t pass the spring

examination, everything would be mere empty talk.

Only by advancing to the next level would they acquire the qualifications to pursue their dreams.

As for what lay ahead on their governmental path, it would depend on each individual’s luck.

Regardless, this place was undeniably sacred and brimming with hope for all of them.

They were well aware of how challenging it was to advance to the next level.

Many people spent their entire lives studying and still remained at the level of Child Student!

The candidates participating in the spring examination were all exceptional individuals, standing here at this moment.

Suddenly, all three of them became overwhelmed with emotions.

High-spirited, anxious, nervous, daring, confident…

Observing their reactions, Qiao Xuan understood what they were going through. She must have experienced similar sentiments during the college entrance examination.

The three of them sighed deeply and entered the town together.

Upon reaching the capital, they checked into a hostel. The mission of the four bodyguards had come to an end. They bid farewell to them after receiving their payment and departed from the hostel, making their way home.

Night fell, enveloping the city in tranquility.

The following day, the four of them gathered at a restaurant for a small celebration.

“Let’s toast to our smooth journey!’

“And may the spring examination go just as smoothly!”

“Yes, yes! Here’s to a successful spring examination! Cheers!”

The sanctity and opulence of the City of Son of Heaven filled them with a sense of freshness and excitement. Having the opportunity to visit this place in their lifetime was a worthwhile experience.

They were all in high spirits and didn’t dwell too much on the upcoming spring examination.

They chatted about their daily lives and shared their future plans.

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan had discussed their plans the previous night, deciding to purchase a small house in the intermediate area.

Staying at the hostel would pose inconveniences and potentially cause trouble for the Qiao Family. It could also negatively impact their performance in the spring examination.

Upon hearing their plan to buy a house in the capital, Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou gasped in awe and expressed their admiration.

“We should have known!”

“You’re incredibly generous! ”

Purchasing a house in the capital was a feat not achievable by ordinary individuals.

A small house of the same size would cost at least ten times more in the capital compared to the province..
