Inside Jingchen Hall, the score tallying for the Six Halls students reached the most critical moment.
Sixteen female scholars from the six halls paired up, compiling the score summaries of their respective Art Studies subjects, and presented them to Meng Zhengjun.
These tables ranked the examinees by subject from highest to lowest, listing only exam numbers without corresponding names.
Meng Zhengjun took the tables, swiftly scanning through them, seemingly noticing something, and she momentarily froze. Then, she directly got up and walked to the large Red List newly pasted on the north wall by two female scholars.
This was a blank red paper over six feet wide and a foot long.
Seeing Meng Zhengjun holding the score tables in her hand and walking over, the sixteen female scholars immediately held their breath, and the teachers sitting a little further away in the hall put down their pens and looked up, some expectantly, others calmly sipping tea while taking a glance.
