"Such a fine spring day, perfect for me to test you and see how you've done with your studies over the past few months." Gongliang Liao suddenly said.
Under the blazing sun, Liu Ji suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He looked up to see dark clouds rolling in, vaguely hearing the sound of thunder from within them.

Qin Yao leaned against the back door, holding the sunflower seeds sent by Liu the carpenter's family. As she ate, she watched Liu Ji answer cautiously, sweating profusely, and found the seeds in her hand even more delicious.
Little did he know whether it was his good luck or if the three days and nights of hard work hadn't been in vain, but he actually managed to pass this suddenly initiated examination smoothly.
