The battle for the throne in Kowloon starts with the steady prince

Qin Changge observed the top-tier classroom where the exam was being held.

Soon a Heart of Wisdom appeared, and Qin Changge took it without saying a word.

In this way, the four hearts of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness have been collected, and only the heart of trustworthiness is missing.

At this moment, Qin Changge, Qin Changle, and Qin Changliu looked at each other, all seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.

At this moment, teacher Lu Xingzhou looked at Qin Changge and said, "This student, please stop whispering and do your own test paper."

At this moment, many students in the top-tier classroom were somewhat surprised. They did not expect that Qin Changge, who was admitted through connections, not only did not study hard, but also had such poor character. Was he actually planning to plagiarize?

However, plagiarism is useless. On this kind of exam, every question is subjective, and everyone has to express their own opinion.

Qin Changge plagiarized other people's opinions, which was easily discovered by Lu Xingzhou. Wasn't this just bringing shame upon himself?

Lu Xingzhou was clearly giving Qin Changge a warning; he deeply despised this kind of nepotism.

Qin Changge nodded, indicating that he knew he was wrong.

After all, he still needs to find the last piece of trust through Early Autumn Academy, and now is not the time to talk back to his teacher.

Qin Changle and Qin Changliu both behaved quite well, because the Early Autumn Academy did indeed have something special.

In just two short days, they found the heart of etiquette and the heart of wisdom. They were only missing the last one: the heart of trust. So no matter what, they were determined to stay here.

At this moment, the class ended, and Qin Changge handed in a blank paper without hesitation.

At this moment, both Qin Changle and Qin Changliu were somewhat suspicious.

Qin Changle said, "Sixth Brother, what are you doing? If you hand in a blank paper, you'll be relegated to the Earth Class."

Qin Changge said, "What difference would it make if we went to the Earth-level class?"

Qin Changle heard this and it seemed to make sense. As long as they could stay at Zaoqiu Academy, there would be no problem.

After all, it's not that students in the Heavenly Class are guaranteed to possess the virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, while those in the Earthly, Mysterious, and Yellow Classes are not.

So it doesn't matter which class you go to.

At this moment, Lu Xingzhou looked at Qin Changge who had handed in a blank paper and said, "I said before that those who have poor exam scores will be transferred to the Earth Class."

Qin Changge cupped his hands in greeting and said, "This disciple is self-aware."

Lu Xingzhou nodded. It seemed that Qin Changge was quite sensible, knowing that he had no place in the Heavenly Class, so he went to the Earthly Class.

At this moment, Qin Changge, Qin Changle, and Qin Changliu left the classroom, intending to stroll around the academy and see if they could find any unexpected surprises. They wondered when they would be able to encounter the Heart of Trust.
Lu Xingzhou, meanwhile, took the exam papers of the top-ranked students back to his teacher's office.

At this moment, Bai Zaoqiu, the dean of Zaoqiu Academy, came to Lu Xingzhou and rubbed his hands together excitedly, saying:

"Mr. Lu, I heard that your top-tier class had its exams today. Please pull out Qin Changge's exam paper for me; I want to see it as soon as possible."

Lu Xingzhou looked at Bai Zaoqiu with some surprise and said, "Dean, don't you know what kind of person Qin Changge is? He handed in a blank paper today."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zaoqiu said in surprise, "That's impossible."

These words made Lu Xingzhou hesitate, and he said, "He got in through connections, so he doesn't have any real skills. If he doesn't submit a blank paper, how can he possibly submit a satisfactory answer?"

Bai Zaoqiu frowned and said, "Mr. Lu, you don't know this, but Qin Changge got in through real ability, not through connections."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingzhou looked completely bewildered and said, "How is that possible? What real skills does he have?"

After all, in Lu Xingzhou's eyes, Qin Changge was nothing more than a dissolute young master. He even brought two followers to study at the academy. He was really too arrogant.

At this moment, Bai Zaoqiu said, "He wrote three poems that won over my father and me as well."

Bai Zaoqiu began to recite: "The bright moonlight shines before my bed, I wonder if it is frost on the ground."

Upon hearing the poem, Lu Xingzhou was stunned. Bai Zaoqiu continued, "Let's drink, don't stop the cup."

Upon hearing the poem, Lu Xingzhou was completely dumbfounded.

Bai Zaoqiu continued, "Withered vines, old trees, and crows at dusk; a small bridge, flowing water, and a humble dwelling; an ancient road, a west wind, and a lean horse; the setting sun; a heartbroken traveler at the ends of the earth."

Lu Xingzhou stood up abruptly, his face filled with shock, and said, "He wrote this poem? That's impossible."

Bai Zaoqiu rolled her eyes at Lu Xingzhou and said, "Would someone who can write this kind of poetry work as a ghostwriter for others?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingzhou sat down looking utterly dejected, as if he had lost all his strength.

Indeed, the person who could compose these three poems would never have given them away to someone else; these poems are destined to be remembered for generations.

If Qin Changge bought them, what price would he have had to pay to acquire these poems?
This is impossible.

Lu Xingzhou said, "It must be because I was disrespectful to him before, so he deliberately handed in a blank paper and didn't want to study in my class anymore."

Lu Xingzhou looked ashamed, while Bai Zaoqiu frowned and said:
"Mr. Lu, as a teacher, don't you know the principle of education for all? I never expected you to treat such a gifted student like this. You have disappointed me greatly."

Lu Xingzhou stood up abruptly and said, "I'll go apologize to him right away."

Bai Zaoqiu nodded and said, "It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Once we've talked things out, everything should be fine."

Bai Zaoqiu agreed with Lu Xingzhou's idea.

Lu Xingzhou rushed out to find Qin Changge and apologize to him.

At this moment, Qin Changge was not in the dormitory, but wandering around the academy, trying to find someone with a trustworthy heart, but he couldn't find one.

With a whoosh, a figure descended from the sky.

This man was none other than the burly, bearded giant, Gan Tu, whom he had met once before.

Gan Tu stared fiercely at Qin Changge and the other two.

"We've finally found you, you lackeys of the devil."

"Now I'm going to twist your heads off."

Qin Changge, Qin Changle, and Qin Changliu all frowned. This Gan Tu was truly a persistent ghost.

Qin Changge clasped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, the reason we collected other people's hearts of benevolence before was because we wanted to go to the third level of Purgatory."

“We are not causing trouble, nor are we the lackeys of the devil. Please stop bothering us.”

Qin Changge still wanted to stay at Zaoqiu Academy, but if Tu Lai continued to cause trouble here, he might not be able to stay.

Gan Tu snorted and said, "Taking away the hearts of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, what are you but the lackeys of a demon? You'd better return the hearts you took, or I'll kill you."

Qin Changge calmly said, "Then there's no room for discussion, is that right?"

Gan Tu snorted and said, "No one has ever been qualified to discuss things with me. You are only worthy of obeying my orders."

Qin Changge felt that Gan Tu was no different from them.

Qin Changge said, "Let's change the location and have a match. Whoever wins gets to decide, how about it?"

Gan Tu revealed his gleaming white teeth and said, "Just what I wanted."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Changge, Qin Changle, Qin Changliu, and Gan Tu all vanished from the scene in a flash.

Outside Sanye City, they faced off in the desolate mountains, a great battle imminent. (End of Chapter)
