Geng Xuncha was overjoyed when he heard this voice. Although this person was not a Semi-Saint of the Wuguo Nation, he had a good relationship with the Semi-Saint of the Shuguo Nation, Mi Fengdian, and also had a deep friendship with the Semi-Saint of the Wuguo Nation in his early years. On the other hand, his relationship with the Semi-Saint of the Jingguo Nation, Chen Guanhai, was average.

Without waiting for Zhou Zhubu to answer, Geng Xuncha immediately shouted, "I, as a scholar, have seen the Sage. The officials of the Jingguo Jiangzhou have formed factions and acted in collusion, disregarding the fairness of the imperial examinations for the sake of an accomplished scholar named Fang Yun. Although Fang Yun has literary talent, his understanding of the classics can only be considered average. However, these three individuals have been praising him excessively, and I suspect that they have ulterior motives. Even if I do not have a high opinion of Fang Yun's understanding of the classics, I would still rank him alongside another person as the top candidates. This is the best choice, but these people are relentless and have brought this matter to the Sage, which is a great sin!"

Unlike Geng Xuncha, who often frequented the Holy Academy, Zhou Zhubu, although he had the courage to speak up, could not calm his mind after feeling the immense and majestic power of the Semi-Saint. Coupled with his anger, he blurted out, "Geng Xuncha has harmed our talented individuals of the Jingguo Nation out of personal grudges. The Sage can see through this!"

After speaking, he regretted it. His words were purely out of temporary indignation and were far less organized than Geng Xuncha's.
