<h4>Chapter 940: Chapter 939 Shorthand</h4>


    Su Yang couldn’t help butugh, spitting out, "What prince and Cindere, you’re so into picking up girls, everything you think is dirty!"


    "No, I’m really trying to advise you," Hou Shilin said seriously, "Don’t think that just because it’s a ninth-rate academy, a Cindere might emerge. Let me tell you the truth, a real Cindere is someone who possesses both intelligence and beauty. If she has only beauty but no intelligence, what good is she? That’s like dog meat that can’t make it to the table. If she has intelligence but no beauty, that’s a bit better; at least we don’t have to look at her, and she can still work. A woman who has both intelligence and beauty, now that’s truly top-notch. Otherwise, why do you think the campus beauties from those famous colleges are so sought after every year? That’s the reason!"


    "You can cut it out!" Su Yang said helplessly, "I’m seriously going there to study, not to pick up girls."


    "Really?" Hou Shilin blinked, thought about it carefully, thenughed, "But, I believe you. Honestly, Ye Wan Tong, Ying’er, Hu Xiexie, and your own Qi’er, each of them is top of the line. If you can still stay unflustered around them, I truly believe you’re not going to chase girls. But, I still don’t get it, why on earth did you choose to go to such a school?"


    "None of your business!" Su Yang retorted irritably, "Enough, stop the chatter. Help me check if my admission ticket is readyter."


    "You’re actually going to take the college entrance exam?" Hou Shilin eximed in surprise, "Why don’t we skip this step? I’ll find someone to arrange it for you, get you into that school directly. Humph, I refuse to believe they’d dare to decline if I call them, or if this young master goes in person."


    "Enough with your antics," Su Yang said with a resigned chuckle, "I’ll take the exam myself. It’s just an academy; it should be easy to get into."


    Hou Shilin scratched his head, murmuring, "No, Brother Su, I’m thinking of your best interest. Think about it, if you take the exam yourself, relying on your actual skills, and you fail to get in, wouldn’t that be embarrassing? Shameful?"


    "Go to hell!" Su Yang responded with a middle finger.


    "No, really, you need to consider these things!" Hou Shilin insisted, undeterred, "Think about it, how long has it been since you attended sses? If you go there to take the test, you know the questions, but do they know you? If you end up scoring zero or something, wouldn’t that be embarrassing? Shameful? Oh, Master Su of Pingnan Province, scoring zero on the college entrance exam, if that gets out, won’t you be ridiculed for a lifetime?"


    "Shut your mouth!" Su Yang waved his hand, "Don’t worry, this year’s college entrance exam top scorer will be me, it’s predestined!"


    Hou Shilin: "Brother Su, are you feverish? This is the college entrance exam, not something you can ace by beating up the proctor. Maybe we should reconsider our ambitions?"


    Su Yang raised his hand, and Hou Shilin immediately chuckled and ran off, "Alright, I’ll arrange it for you. But, I still advise you, there’s still time for me to arrange a direct entry for you..."


    "Get lost!"


    "Got it!" Hou Shilin chuckled and ran off.


    Su Yang couldn’t help butugh. During his time in the Southern Six Provinces, his nerves had been constantly on edge. Hanging out with his friends, chatting andughing for a while, actually helped to regte his mood quite a bit.


    However, after theughter, he had to seriously consider what Hou Shilin had said.


    He was now a well-known figure in eight provinces, and the name Master Su of Pingnan Province carried a lot of weight. If he went to take the college entrance exam and truly scored a zero, that could spread even further than his reputation as Master Su. If he got into a quarrel with someer, they could just counter by calling him a college entrance exam zero-scorer, and Su Yang would have to shut up.


    So, he had to take this college entrance exam seriously. Perhaps, it was time to pull ast-minute cram session?


    After some thought, Su Yang suddenly remembered a memory technique recorded in Destiny’s Tome that could help memorize a lot of information very quickly.


    This technique was something Su Yang discovered while flipping through Destiny’s Tome at umted Cloud Mountain. He hadn’t paid much attention to it before, but now it seemed it might be handy. Last-minute cramming indeed required special methods!


    Back home, Su Yang opened Destiny’s Tome and reviewed the memory technique.


    The so-called memory technique was actually a method of engraving the material to be remembered onto the mentalyer using power. With Su Yang’s current strength, aplishing this was quite easy, though it did require some energy, which was also very simple.


    Having memorized the technique, the next day early in the morning, Su Yang returned to school, ready to cramst-minute.


    As he approached the school gates, Su Yang started drawing crowds.


    Not many people in the school knew the name Master Su, but they all knew that Su Yang was no ordinary person now.


    Moreover, having not attended school for a long time and suddenly showing up today naturally attracted even more attention.


    Su Yang was quite indifferent, walking slowly into the ssroom with his hands behind his back.


    All eyes in the ssroom were on him as Su Yang, under everyone’s gaze, walked over and sat next to Zhao Qiupeng.


    The guy was staring at Su Yang in disbelief. Seeing Su Yang sit down, he eventually eximed in amazement, "Wow, big brother, what are you doing here?"


    "Is that even a question?" Su Yang responded, "This is my seat. I’m back to school!"


    "No, big brother, you... you’re still studying?" Zhao Qiupeng almost burst outughing, "You’re not just messing with me, right...?"


    "I’m not messing with you; the college entrance exam is almost here, I’m back to take it," Su Yang said calmly.


    His statement silenced the ss. Soon, everyone burst intoughter, leaning back in their seats, as if they had heard the funniest joke ever.


    "Big brother, can you stop joking around?" Zhao Qiupeng said with an embarrassed smile, "Why would you participate in the college entrance exam? The top three colleges are inviting you directly, just go there directly, whye back to take the exam? It’s like taking off your pants to fart—totally unnecessary!"


    "Though the top three colleges have invited me, I don’t really want to go to those three schools. So, I’ve decided to take the exam myself!" Su Yang said earnestly.


    The room fell silent again, followed by another round ofughter.


    Zhao Qiupeng was speechless, "Dude, can we stop the jokes? You’re rejecting the top three colleges, so where do you n to go instead?"


    At that moment, a boy with sses at the front of the room said teasingly, "Old Zhao, you don’t get it, do you? He’s nning to study at a top university abroad!"
