# 269. The Last Day of the Exams
Lina was deeply moved by the concern of the Heaven and Earth Society, and began recounting her story of being deceived:
【FIVE: Thank you all for your concern. I'm currently in Yongzhou. This morning, I met an old Daoist priest who told me that I had extraordinary bones and was a one-in-a-million prodigy. I thought he must be a true master, otherwise, how could he see my uniqueness among the masses…】
*Wait, that’s just the typical con artist line! Are you really that gullible, or just overconfident?* Xu Qi'an restrained himself from sending a message to ridicule her.
【TWO: And then you just let him scam you without any precautions?】
Li Miaozhen asked, clearly exasperated.
She was furious at hearing about such injustice, yet feeling helpless that she couldn’t rush over to help. This feeling of powerlessness was infuriating, making her want to stomp her feet in frustration.
Lina hurriedly defended herself:【FIVE: Of course I’m not that foolish.】
*If you're not foolish, then who is?* The members of the Heaven and Earth Society silently scoffed.
