The Marquis Mansion's Elite Class

Chapter 110

Zhao Rong left behind a mess and walked away.

Xu Wan and Cui Zhi sat in silence for a long while before Xu Wan finally regretted, "Why did I have to blab about wanting to play cuju outside?"

Can I just go back in time half an hour ago?

I’d definitely keep my mouth shut and just be a modern-day mute who only thinks but never speaks.

Cui Zhi worriedly said, "Young Master Cheng really dislikes the Eighteenth Princess. If he plays cuju with her tomorrow, he’s not going to hold back."

Xu Wan was surprised, "Is Jin Cheng that good at cuju?"

Cui Zhi nodded, "He has no match among his peers."

Xu Wan was stunned, "He’s that strong??"

Cui Zhi continued nodding, "Whether it’s horse racing, cricket fighting, arrow throwing, or chuiwan, Young Master Cheng is a master at all of them."

The number one young playboy in the capital, after all, knows how to have fun the best.

"..."

Xu Wan was truly impressed. She hadn’t expected the little devil to be so skilled in sports. She suddenly felt that this kid was actually quite impressive. Someone who loved running around outdoors had actually sat down and studied diligently with her for five months.

The more she thought about it, the more she realized how rare that was.

Xu Wan even started considering whether she should be less strict with the little devil in the future. Maybe give him a day or two off each month to go out and play?

After the monthly exam ended, Xu Wan waited at the gate for the two children, but no matter how long she waited, they didn’t show up. The number of students coming out was also fewer than usual.

She glanced at the sun. The exam was definitely over, so could something have happened inside?

"Cui Zhi, let’s go in and take a look."

Zong Wenxiu’s exam had gone very smoothly. He had been quite worried about it initially, but when he saw the questions, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had actually done most of them before.

Inside the room, Zong Wenxiu continued to stand up for his brother, "Friend, please watch your words. My brother just finished the exam quickly; it doesn’t mean he couldn’t do it. Don’t assume that just because you can’t do something, others can’t either."

Luo Chen arrogantly asked, "And who are you?"

"I’m his cousin, Zong Wenxiu."

"Zong Wenxiu..." Luo Chen suddenly realized, "Nineteenth place in the joint exam, right? Eighteen places behind me."

Zong Wenxiu paused for a moment, immediately recognizing the name.

In the two joint exams he had taken, he might not have paid attention to the second-place Qin Shi, but he always checked who was in first place.

That person was Luo Chen.

Luo Chen looked him up and down and sneered, "What’s the matter? Did your brother jump to the ten-year-old class, and you went to the twelve-year-old class?"

Zong Jincheng shouted angrily, "None of your business, you rude brat!"

Zong Wenxiu continued to shield his brother and replied, "Yes, I took the twelve-year-old exam, and I think I did pretty well. Do you have a problem with that?"

Luo Chen scoffed, "You people from the Yangyuan Marquis Manor are ridiculous. You’ve only studied for a few months and yet you’re so arrogant. I don’t know where you get your confidence from."

Zong Wenxiu couldn’t stand seeing his brother being bullied. Instead of being intimidated, his courage only grew.

He spoke with a calm and confident tone, "Our confidence comes from our abilities. When I came in, I heard you wanted to join the Child Prodigy Class. That’s perfect. In a few days, I’ll also be signing up for the entrance test. Let’s see who can get in first."

"You?" Luo Chen looked down on Zong Wenxiu. Every year, there were self-proclaimed prodigies who wanted to join the Child Prodigy Class, but most couldn’t even pass the entrance test, becoming the butt of endless jokes.

"Yes, me. Do you dare to compete with me?"

Zong Wenxiu was actually very nervous. His hands were trembling, but the excitement made him forget his fear, timidity, and hesitation. All he could think of was what Madam had told him.

He had the best teachers, the best private tutors, and the best study methods. He could surpass his peers in less than a year... so, he could definitely do it.

Defeat Luo Chen, who had always been in first place.
