Chapter 618: Mo Siye's Plan
“What is this?” Inside the National Academy, Mo Siye looked at the letter in front of him with curiosity.
“Master Siye, could it be that you’ve forgotten? Every year at this time, the Flying Sky Courtyard holds a literature gathering to promote friendship through literature.”
“In the past, we used to go there to drink and compose poems to give the owner of the Star Seizing Tower a face. Do you think we should go this year?” A man asked respectfully.
When Mo Siye heard this, he remembered the matter and furrowed his brow, “The Imperial Examinations are approaching. Where would we find the time for such elegant activities?”
“This time, I want the students of the National Academy to take the top ten spots, proving to the world that scholars from poor backgrounds are just a joke!”
“In that case, the students will refuse the invitation. I also heard that students from the Peace Academy will be attending the literature meeting this time. If we were to be in the same place as them, wouldn’t that lower our status?” The man scoffed.
“Wait, did you say that students from poor backgrounds will also attend?” Mo Siye asked suddenly.
“Yes, that news has spread quite far. I don’t know what the owner of the Star Seizing Tower is thinking by allowing commoners to attend the literature gathering. Isn’t that a little too generous?”
“Besides, there are rumours that members of the imperial family will attend this time. However, most people are sceptical about this claim. Even though the Star Seizing Tower has a good reputation in the Imperial City, it’s quite fanciful to think that they could invite such figures,” the man explained.
