Tong Li's face darkened, and his worst fear had come true.

Fang Yun had no conflicts of interest with the talented scholars and presented scholars of Yuhai City.

Although his grandfather held a high position as a third-rank attendant, and had a good relationship with Li Wenying, and had some influence in Yuhai City, it was ultimately the territory of the Holy Academy and Li Wenying. Since Fang Yun had gained Li Wenying's favor, naturally Li Wenying's people would help him.

The examination for the presented scholar was held throughout Jiangzhou, so it didn't matter which prefecture Fang Yun was in. Therefore, the middle-level scholars in Yuhai City not only did not resent Fang Yun, but rather looked forward to him leaving a great literary reputation in Yuhai City. Many people even hoped to bask in his glory and leave behind a good name for themselves.
