Hearing the Empress's voice,
everyone present turned their gazes to Li Chang'an, who stood not far away.
They exchanged looks of confusion.
'Did Empress Liyang wait here today just to win this young man over?'
'What's so special about him?'
No one knew what the Empress was planning.
The young monk from the Buddhist Sect bowed and said, "Your Majesty, your eagerness to recruit talent is understandable. But shouldn't you at least wait for the Martial Arts Examination to conclude before enlisting new members?"
"To keep someone here before the examination has even finished... isn't that a bit against the rules?"
The young monk didn't know why the Empress had come specifically to recruit a mysterious youth with an unknown background, but he knew he couldn't let her get her way so easily.
