Time psed.
Under everyone''s scornful gazes, Zhong Ling''er stopped writing and calmly walked toward the
middle-aged man on the tall tform. The entire venue quieted down with her action.
Long Yuan''s brows furrowed, and he ordered a eunuch to ept her paper. The eunuch walked up
as ordered and carefully held the paper, which was still wet with ink, as he walked to several old
men.
In the venue, besides the Emperor and Noble Consort who dictated the wholepetition, there
was also the group of examiners formed by the Empires'' imperial physicians. These imperial
physicians'' reputation spread far and wide, so there was nothing better than having them act as the
examiners.
One of the old men epted the paper and lightly skimmed it, but this nce alone caused
astonishment to appear in his eyes.
"Quickly,e and take a look." The elderly man''s expression was immensely shocked.
Hearing this, the other old men gathered around him. After seeing the contents of the paper, their
face exhibited the same expression.
"What''s going on?"
"Could it be that Zhong Ling''er''s rubbish angered these imperial physicians?"
The people beneath them all whispered in each other''s ears and spiritedly discussed.
Zhong Ling''er''s identity was out in the open. She was nothing more than a servant girl who came
here to be humiliated in ce of a prodigy from the Tianyun Kingdom, so how could she have
genuine abilities? If she was capable enough to impress these imperial physicians, she would
certainly not be a servant girl anymore.
However, the following reality was like a p that fiercelynded on these presumptuous people.
"Perfect! This answer is too perfect! Not a single word wrong and incredibly detailed!"
The imperial physicians all nodded their heads in praise. Although many prodigies came here, there
still were not many who could be this detailed in a short amount of time. It was no wonder that they
were so stunned earlier.
Tian Qi tossed down the brush in his hand with dismay and looked at Zhong Ling''er with turmoil in
his eyes as he asked, "You can''t be a mere servant girl, right?"
How could a servant girl possess such ability?
Zhong Ling''er lifted her chin. "I''m truly a servant girl. There''s no doubt about it."
"Miss." On top of the tform, an old man asked with a faint smile, "Can this old crock know who
taught you?"
Hearing this, a trace of pride entered Zhong Ling''er face and tone. "My teacher is my master, Yun
Luofeng!"
She was proud because she had a master like Yun Luofeng. Ever since she decided to vow loyalty
and devotion to Yun Luofeng back then, she had been fated to step onto an extraordinary road.
At this moment, Zhong Ling''er was quite thankful for the Crown Prince of the Longyuan Kingdom,
Gao Ling. If it weren''t for the imperial family''s precautions against the General Estate back then,
she, who had been born useless, would not have been selected into the corps.
The crowd turned into an uproar, moring about this news.
No wonder a person praised by the imperial physicians would be a servant girl! If Yun Luofeng was
incredibly talented in medicine as well, then they would wholeheartedly be willing to be her
servants. Of course, the prerequisite was that she had this ability!
In this world, there were a countless number of prodigies, so what if this servant received a
compliment? Her memory concerning medicinal herbs did not represent her ability.
In today''s gathering of prodigies, she did not have a good chance of winning.
Zhong Ling''er walked with her head held up high and her chest puffed out. Under the shocked,
doubtful, and disdainful gazes of those people, she left thepetition floor like a proud peacock
and walked to the side of Yun Luofeng.
"Master, I won''t disappoint you."
She must win against her opponent regardless of how hard she had to try.
"You''ve worked hard." Yun Luofeng faintly smiled before turning her sight onto thepetition floor
again.
After Zhong Ling''er left, the remainingpetitors also walked onto the stage one by one whenever
the eunuch called their name.
