"You little Azure Dragon of Primordial Water," Emperor Longchang gave her an odd look, "seem quite adept at playing dumb to catch the wise. Not an easy feat for a dragon to achieve such scores. Reward... five, no, one hundred thousand Qian Gold."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Liling showed a smug expression, an air of conceited pride as if to say she was an academic overachiever all along, dispelling her previous slump.
It must have been a fluke.
Wang Liling was likely the best student among the Three Little Ones of the Wang family, Emperor Longchang consoled himself as he flipped to the next exam paper.
"Ninety... ninety-eight points!" That glaring score stung Emperor Longchang's eyes and his heart alike.
Upon seeing the name, it turned out to be Wang Yingxuan.
Another master of trickery. Why do you display the temperament of an underachiever when your grades are so stellar? This is clearly a deception against the throne.
