Sun Xian wanted to speak up to stop it, but seeing that Gu Chengyu had already refused, he felt relieved. He had heard of the so-called poetry gathering that this group of people held, and it was not a place for Gu Chengyu to go. It was best that Gu Chengyu refused.
The examinee, seeing that Gu Chengyu refused without even thinking, appeared somewhat displeased, but he held back from erupting. He had heard that Gu Chengyu was good at poetry, so he wanted to invite him to the gathering, but unexpectedly, Gu didn't appreciate it! Could it be that he looks down on them, these scholars?
At this time, Gu Wanhua and Huang Ming also came out of the crowd. Before they could arrive, they heard a bit of the exchange.
Gu Chengyu's refusal made the atmosphere somewhat stagnant, as if it had suddenly cooled down. Fortunately, news came that the exam papers were going to be posted.
