Chapter 56: Cunning
The Seventh Young Master’s study.
It turns out that exams can be lighthearted and pressure-free—if you’re the proctor.
Having recently endured the monthly exam himself, Zheng Fa stood at the front of the study, experiencing a unique sense of satisfaction. It felt like the tables had turned; the dragon-slaying youth had finally become the oppressor.
Before him were three low tables, with Gao Yuan, the Seventh Young Master, and Little Sister Zheng Shan seated behind them.
Each wore a distinct expression.
Gao Yuan radiated nervous determination, clearly ready to tackle the challenge head-on. The Seventh Young Master, however, was fidgety, glancing around uneasily as if unused to such a setting. Meanwhile, Little Sister Zheng Shan, far from nervous, squirmed in her seat with wide, curious eyes as she took in the unfamiliar study.
Administering this surprise exam wasn’t purely for fun—though it wasn’t entirely devoid of entertainment value.
Since the Madam had tied the Seventh Young Master’s success in entering the Immortal Sect to Zheng Fa’s future, he had no choice but to bolster the Young Master’s knowledge of talismans. With only two months to prepare, a crash course was the only option.
