Chapter 263: Chapter 263 Fierce Wife Protects Husband_1

Other people also echoed one after another, saying that Ning Fan had ruined the ancient painting and all looked toward the judges’ seats.

On the judges’ panel, Hu Xinnian remained silent, while the other six shook their heads as if they were all very disappointed.

Finally, a judge surnamed Weng sitting beside Hu Xinnian slowly began to speak, "I announce that the third competition, the vision test, has ended. The sole winner is Ning Fan."

"Today’s Qingyun List literary evaluation has come to an end. The martial evaluation will take place tomorrow!"

After the judge surnamed Weng finished speaking, all seven judges stood up and left the stage from the backstage.

Whoosh!

Instantly, the hall erupted into a commotion.

"What’s going on? Why did the vision contest end like this? Why is this Ning guy the only winner?"

"What kind of joke is this? What exactly happened? That Ning guy was just spouting nonsense, how could he be the winner?"

"Could there be some kind of scandal involved?"

Doubt and discontent were written on everyone’s faces.

Kong Tiansheng and Hong Jinrui also widened their eyes in shock, as if they had seen a ghost.

Yuan Yonglin was staring intensely at Ning Fan, a strange gleam flickering in her beautiful eyes.

The literary evaluation of the Qingyun List included three categories: Financial power, capability, and vision.

The third category, the vision test, ended abruptly with Ning Fan suddenly declared the sole winner; didn’t that mean everyone else effectively scored zero?

Did Ning Fan just suddenly win?

Did he beat them all?

What kind of joke was this?

Just before, in the ’capability’ category, everyone had mocked Ning Fan when he failed to produce proof of his medical skills and scored zero.

Now, however, everyone was dumbfounded.

If the second and third categories were combined, Ning Fan had actually managed to pull his overall score back!

People wanted to argue with the judges, but the seven had already left the backstage.

Besides, these seven judges were all esteemed and reputable individuals, each one a once formidable figure in Jiang Province. Their decisions were unquestionable and required no explanations.

"Heh, Ning Fan, Ning Fan, I didn’t expect you to give me such a surprise in this third category. Well, I thought you had no chance of topping the list, but now it seems there’s still a slim possibility. We’ll see tomorrow then," said Mu Wanqing arrogantly to herself in the third-floor private room before she turned and left, taking the private elevator away.

In another room, Yuan Huaiyi stroked his beard with a chuckling smile, nodding repeatedly in praise, "Not bad! Not bad! Little Brother Ning, you really are remarkable! Keep it up tomorrow and give Yong Lin a good challenge, haha!"

After speaking, Yuan Huaiyi too did not linger and turned to leave.

In Zhao Xingyan’s private room, she watched everything with a vicious glee, "Heh, Ning Fan, I was actually worried you’d be eliminated today and just run away! Today, let you be proud for a little while, tomorrow at the martial evaluation, Fei Liang will beat you to death on stage!"

With that, Zhao Xingyan turned to leave and meet up with Fei Liang.

While the audience discussed amongst themselves and left, many angry competitors on the first floor had surrounded Ning Fan.

"Ning guy, what kind of trick did you pull? Why did the judges say you’re the only winner?"

"Spill it! Otherwise, you won’t be able to walk out of here today!"

The crowd roared angrily.

Kong Tiansheng and Hong Jinrui also watched Ning Fan with darkened faces.

"What? You can’t beat my boyfriend, so you resort to such tactics? If you’re not convinced, go find the judges! What kind of skill is it for so many of you to threaten him by surrounding just my boyfriend?"

A domineering voice then came from outside the crowd.

It was Xu Yourong, who swiftly walked up to Ning Fan’s side, protectively standing by him like a valiant wife defending her husband.

Su Qingcheng also followed Xu Yourong and stood on the other side of Ning Fan.

"Eh? Whose young lady is this?"

"Wow! She’s so beautiful!"

Xu Yourong had only recently returned to the provincial capital and had not shown herself around much. Moreover, not all of the competitors were from the provincial capital—about half were from outside, so many did not recognize her.

"Miss Xu?"

When Kong Tiansheng saw Xu Yourong, his eyes lit up, and he leered at her as he stepped forward to introduce himself, "Hello Miss Xu, you are really beautiful, may I get to know you? My name is Kong Tiansheng, my father is from the Kong Family..."

He knew of Xu Yourong’s fame and had seen her from a distance. Upon seeing her now, he was immediately excited.

If he couldn’t win Yuan Yonglin, getting Xu Yourong would still be pretty good.

Kong Tiansheng began to indulge in his fantasy of pushing Xu Yourong down on the bed...

"You’re from the Kong Family? Then what’s your relation to Kong Haibo?" Xu Yourong felt disgusted by Kong Tiansheng’s lecherous gaze and frowned.

Kong Haibo was the man who had been pursuing her relentlessly like a mangy dog and had once been taught a lesson by Ning Fan.

"Kong Haibo? He’s my cousin brother. What, Miss Xu, are you my cousin’s friend? That’s great, my cousin’s friend is my friend!" Kong Tiansheng said with a smile.

The next second, Xu Yourong coldly interrupted, "Mr. Kong, since Kong Haibo is your cousin, please do me a favor and tell him to stop bothering me. I have no interest in him whatsoever, and moreover, I already have a boyfriend. My boyfriend is Ning Fan!"

"Also, I’m not interested in getting to know you, so please step aside and don’t block the way between me and my boyfriend."

Having said that, Xu Yourong put her arm around Ning Fan’s arm, signaling their relationship to everyone present.

Though she hadn’t heard what Kong Tiansheng had said to Ning Fan during the competition earlier up on the third floor, Xu Yourong could tell from Kong Tiansheng’s expression toward Ning Fan that there was no goodwill.

She had deliberately spoken to Kong Tiansheng in this manner.

Her purpose was to defend Ning Fan.

Kong Tiansheng’s face turned ugly the moment Xu Yourong addressed him publicly like that.
