"Very well."
Upon hearing Old Master Bai's words, Elder Mr. Xu raised his eyebrows.
As it turned out, his good disciples indeed did not disappoint him.
The Examination Hall was a separate testing room. After the hall administrator brought the exam papers, Old Master Bai and Elder Mr. Xu sat inside to invigilate.
Naturally, Luo Ge and his wife were not suitable to remain inside, so they waited outside, drinking tea and awaiting news.
There were only two examinees and two invigilators, which meant that the entire process of Yun Mu and Yun Yi completing their papers was under the constant watch of the two elderly gentlemen.
The exam papers were finished right under their noses.
It was precisely because of this that Old Master Bai was increasingly surprised.
After the two brothers finished answering the questions, he nodded repeatedly while holding their exam papers.
These children had just turned six years old and had only been studying for a year.
Yet, their knowledge was more solid than that of the most outstanding children in the Middle Academy, and they had their own insights on many of the questions.
This old Xu had truly stumbled upon good fortune, managing to dig up two such promising seedlings.
"Good children, have you considered changing masters? Unlike him, I'm not so fickle. Including you two, I'd only have four disciples in total!" he said, putting on his most benevolent smile as he looked at the two children.
Here it comes! Again! He knew it.
Hearing Old Master Bai's words, Elder Mr. Xu irritably pushed him away.
"Get out of the way, you shameless old man. Trying to poach my disciples right in front of me, go away."
"Now you've seen the foundation of my disciples, I wasn't exaggerating, was I? You've seen the test results too, they're definitely qualified. They'll be arranged in my section from now on."
"We'll take it slow in the Middle Academy for now. When the time is right, I'll lead them to take another exam and come to the Upper Academy."
As Elder Mr. Xu spoke, his tone was filled with unstoppable pride and a strong sense of showing off.
Luo Ge also bent down and ruffled the two little ones' hair: "Do you want to study with the older brothers?"
The teacher's suggestion was one thing, but as parents, they naturally had to consider the children's own issues.
After all, being in an environment with peers of the same age was different from being with those of different ages.
Looking at Luo Ge and then at their master, the two little ones lowered their heads to consider carefully before nodding.
"We want to study with the older brothers."
They had already mastered what they were learning with their peers, and they felt they could handle the content of the Middle Academy's exam papers.
Moreover, they wanted to speed up their progress a bit, to fulfill the promise they had made to their aunt and uncle earlier.
Although they knew that the family's life had already improved,
Seeing their uncle and aunt busy every day with little rest, they still felt their hard work.
They wanted to grow up quickly, to become successful soon, so that their uncle and aunt wouldn't have to work so hard.
Then they could happily enjoy life.
Luo Ge and his wife didn't know the children's thoughts, but hearing their words, they chose to respect their decision.
"Alright, then we'll study with the older brothers from now on."
Seeing that the family had come to an agreement, Elder Mr. Xu nodded as well.
"If that's the case, go home and prepare. If everything is ready, you can come tomorrow, before 9 AM.
The Academy will provide lunch, and there are assigned living quarters for the children's midday rest. You can come to pick up the children at 5 PM."
"Understood." Hearing Elder Mr. Xu's instructions, Luo Ge nodded.
"May we see the living quarters now, so we can prepare some things at home?"
"Certainly, they can stay in my courtyard. I'll take you to see it."
"Then we'll trouble you, Elder Sir."
