Chen Shi frowned slightly, "Why have the Heaven Listeners set their sights on me again?"
The last time, during the stone boat incident, he had been targeted by the Heaven Listeners, though they later disappeared, seemingly clearing him of suspicion.
Why target him again?
"Could it be because of the Mazu Temple incident? But in that case, shouldn't Granny Sha and her group be the ones under scrutiny? Why target me?" Chen Shi was quite puzzled.
Returning to Huangpo Village, when Yu Zhu's grandmother saw him, she exclaimed joyously, "Scholar Lord is back! Did you pass the imperial examination and become a Scholar Lord? Don't bother cooking tonight, come eat at my house!"
Chen Shi replied awkwardly, "The governor was killed, the Academic Officer is also dead, the autumn exams were invalidated, I did not succeed."
"Are you still a Scholar now?" asked Yu Zhu's grandmother.
Chen Shi nodded.
