Chapter 384: Little Success
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qin Zhenzhen wasn’t surprised at all. She was well aware that Su Bin had been suspicious of her, especially considering that she had specially modified the Immortal Pill. She also had a hunch that he might have detected something unusual in his food.
Su Bin himself had become aware of the subtle changes in his body. He had initially believed he was ill-suited for martial arts, yet in just one year of training, he had surpa.s.sed those who had trained for three years or more. This transformation wasn’t due to his diligence but rather a profound change in his body.
What was once the physique of a frail scholar, unsuitable for martial arts, had now evolved into that of a martial arts prodigy. Besides learning from his two secret guards, he had also received guidance from Qin Zhenzhen. After a year, he could hold his own against his secret guards in combat, and facing ordinary adversaries posed no challenge. Running away was the last thing on his mind.
In addition to these physical changes, Su Bin felt his mind sharpening. His memory, which was previously ordinary, now resembled a photographic memory.
He had once been confident in his abilities, convinced he could secure a prominent place on the Capital Examination Board. Now, his self-a.s.surance had reached new heights.
Finally letting go of Qin Zhenzhen, Su Bin said, “Wife, I’m heading back to the residence to study.”
Qin Zhenzhen encouraged him, “Yes, study diligently and aim for outstanding results. ”
Su Bin rea.s.sured her, “Wife, rest a.s.sured and await good news.”
As he walked towards the entrance, Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t resist saying, “I’ll send you some food in a few days.”
Su Bin whispered, “I know. I’ll miss my wife, even in my dreams.”
Qin Zhenzhen blushed once again. “Stop with the nonsense. There are so many people around. Aren’t you embarra.s.sed? I’m embarra.s.sed.”
“I’m speaking so softly that no one can hear me. And even if they did, it’s completely normal. ”
Recognizing that the couple wanted to have a private conversation, Su Ning and the servants wisely kept their distance.
Su Ning even had a secretive smile on her face as she observed her third brother and third sister-in-law in this affectionate state.
Whenever Third Elder Brother and Third Elder Sister-in-law were together, they would both blush. Third Elder Brother would look at Third Elder Sister-in-law with such longing in his eyes.
It was evident that they had become a real couple.
Hehe, it looked like their family was going to experience double happiness!
The first cause for celebration was Third Brother’s partic.i.p.ation in the upcoming Capital Examination in the spring. He was destined to achieve a top-ranking position.
The second source of joy was the possibility that Third Sister-in-law might be pregnant now, which would make her an aunt next year.
Su Ning’s words carried a double meaning. “Third Brother, best of luck!”
Su Bin responded with a dual interpretation. “Yes, Third Brother will certainly give his all!”
While others might consider the bridal chamber as a small test, Su Bin regarded it as the pinnacle.
In his view, he needed to see things from a different perspective.
To him, the bridal chamber was the ultimate!
Qin Zhenzhen had no doubts that Su Bin would excel. The original text mentioned that the Eighth Imperial Uncle had successfully seized the throne through inheritance, and the composition of the civil and military officials had remained largely unchanged.
In other words, the same group of scholars who had devised the examination questions in the original text were likely responsible for them now. Even if the questions were not identical to those in the original text, they would likely bear striking similarities.
Given Su Bin’s current abilities, achieving first place was well within his reach.
However, she couldn’t be certain whether he would be chosen as the top scorer in the palace examination.
In the original book, the storyline was that the Eighth Imperial Uncle had taken a fancy to Su Bin.
But now the current emperor…..
It was impossible for the current emperor and the Eighth Imperial Uncle to have the same taste.
However, in the original book, Su Bin was sinister and scheming, which suited the Eighth Imperial Uncle.
Although the current Su Bin was also scheming, his personality was no longer gloomy and vicious. Instead, he could be called a bright young man. It would not be strange for such a talent to catch the Emperor’s eye..
