The black off-road vehicle bearing a military license plate slowly approached the entrance of Xuanwu Mansion.
A middle-aged man dressed in security attire quickly stepped out from the guardhouse at the gate.
As the window rolled down, the security guard looked into the driver's cabin with a puzzled expression and inquired, "What can I do for you two?"
Just as Ning Yuantai was about to speak and reveal Xue Jing's identity as an examiner from No. 9 Examination Hall, a shout came from inside the gates of Xuanwu Mansion, "Uncle Zhang!"
A short-haired young man, handsome but with a somewhat sly expression that made him appear a bit shady, quickly ran over. With a suave leap over the gate, he approached the off-road vehicle.
The young man peered inside the vehicle, his gaze passing directly over the driver, Ning Yuantai, and resting on Xue Jing seated beside him.
