The only thing that showed some sincerity was the gold necklace, but then he said it would enhance my "rich lady" image, which honestly made me feel old!

"Oh, Xiao Yang put his heart into it. Look at my Xiao Li, that's what you call perfunctory!"

Oh, a bunch of pigeons she said were for me, a few bottles of wine she said were for her dad, and some other miscellaneous things...

I suspect—no, I'm pretty sure—that a whole bunch of those were leftovers she brought home as gifts. Ha, what kind of daughter is so deserving of a good scolding?

"Um……"

"Uh……"

"Admit it, don't you miss your child?"

"Aren't you the same? You had a cold face when you chased them away, but now you're already thinking about them again after such a short time?"

"Where did they go to stay? Did they go to a tavern? Or did they stay at someone else's house? Is it safe?"

"Oh, the child can already fly, he's amazing, you're just worrying unnecessarily."

"That's true... the two little fleshy balls rolled around a few times, blinked their eyes, and in the blink of an eye, they ran up to the sky. How should I put it, I was quite happy, but also quite reluctant to part with them."

I feel like I should let go, but I don't want to, so I have to force myself to...

"Sigh, who isn't?"

"Tell me, are we really going to let our child wander outside all this time?"

"Ah... well... a couple of days or two is enough, right..."

"Can you really train like that in just a couple of days?"

"Children grow up in the blink of an eye; any longer and it becomes torture for us..."

"makes sense……"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter Shocking! The legendary 61st episode extra!

"Da da da."

The teacher held a pointer and rhythmically tapped it on the lectern, trying to dispel the drowsiness brought on by the bright midday sun in summer.

In the classroom, three or four of the nearly thirty seats were empty, while the rest were occupied by a group of children with childish faces.

Even students who usually love to chatter in class are too lazy to speak at this moment.

Five minutes left...

four minutes...

three minutes……

The adorable little girl lay listlessly on the table, her rosy cheeks looking as if they had melted, curled into a small ball...

I kept counting down the time until get out of class ended in my mind. Why did that second feel so long?

My breathing rhythm was unconsciously skewed by the mental countdown, and it took me a while to remember that people can actually breathe...

"clatter!"

The sound of the pointer striking the glass stopped abruptly, making the quiet room even more deathly still. Only the occasional coughs and panting could be heard intermittently, making the room even more stuffy.

three minutes……

three minutes……

Why is it still only three minutes...?

"cough!"

The old man on the podium suddenly coughed, trying to get the students' attention.

"It's been getting hotter and hotter these days, and everyone probably already knows that there will be a break at the cram school."

The specific details are the same as in previous years, so I won't go into further detail. Apart from that...

The old teacher picked up a stack of papers from the podium and squinted his eyes.

"The results of the quiz before the holiday are out, and I have a general understanding of everyone's learning progress during this period..."

After a pause, the old man pulled out a few sheets of paper, put the rest down, cleared his throat, and his brows remained furrowed.

"Of course, this is just a test, not an imperial examination, and it doesn't reflect everything. The rating doesn't represent your full ability."

After the test papers are handed out, except for a very few cases where I need to speak with the parents individually to understand the situation, the rest can simply reflect on their own performance.

"call……"

Immediately, many students in the classroom breathed a sigh of relief, showing expressions of relief after surviving a disaster.

Some students who looked like cultured people remained unfazed; to them, it was just a minor incident.

Of course, there were also some students who, although the teacher did not call their names, knew exactly whose students the teacher was referring to as "a very small number." They immediately turned ashen-faced and felt utterly dejected.

But none of this mattered to the little girl; all she wanted to do was get out of school.

Two minutes...

Two minutes...

Victory is just around the corner...

"I'll announce the results now, and I'll hand in the test papers after school."

Okay, I won't read out the names of the students in grades C and D. I'll just announce the names of those with the higher scores.

I estimate it will only read to about ten people, so it shouldn't take too much time...

The little girl thought to herself silently.

"Class B: Luo Xiao, Bai Fu, Ji Xiaoju..."

First-class, Luo Zhi'en, Huang Qiong..."

As the old gentleman slowly called out names, only one exam paper remained in his hand.

"Finally, congratulations to Hong Li for achieving the top prize!"

"what……"

The little girl felt many eyes on her, so she sat up straight and politely thanked the teacher: "It's all thanks to your excellent teaching."

"Your talent ranks second among all the students I have taught!"

The old man showed a pleased expression and said earnestly, "The oldest student in the class is fifteen years old, and you are only nine years old. You have learned to this extent in just one year."

To be honest, if you still want to pursue the imperial examination path, I can recommend a few classic texts for your reference and study.

Of course, you can also choose to pursue the path of martial arts. In that case, you will be considered to have officially graduated and will no longer need to attend classes.

Of course, I think with your talent, you might be better suited to the imperial examination system...

"Don't go."

Hong Li's voice drifted over: "I won't take the imperial examination."

It's time for get out of class to end, sir, please stop chatting with me!

Hongli wailed in her heart.

"Is that so...that's true..."

The old teacher was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled helplessly. He had almost forgotten that the child in front of him was from the Wu family.

For the Wu family, the main reason for sending their children to school here was to help them learn to read quickly and efficiently, so that they wouldn't become illiterate.

Besides that, reciting a few lines of poetry occasionally is acceptable.

But if they were to take the imperial examination route and study diligently year after year according to the questions set by the court…

To be realistic, the Five Colors Clan, which has the shadow of a celestial sect behind it, could even overpower this mortal dynasty if they joined forces.

Sending disciples of the Five Colors family to participate in the imperial examinations and become officials in the royal family is really... well, that's a bit much...

"Ahem, since that's the case..."

Realizing he had said something foolish, the old man sighed and waved his hand.

"It's time to go home. If you have no questions, you can come up and take your test papers and go home."

"Wow!"

The students, who had seemed dead just moments before, suddenly sprang back to life, pounced on the podium, and amidst shouts of "Don't grab it!" "Don't grab it!", quickly found their exam papers and ran outside.

Hongli, who had been anxious, relaxed at this moment. She was too lazy to squeeze with the group of students at the door. She could easily walk out in ten seconds at most.

Suddenly remembering something, Hongli walked over to the old man who was tidying up the podium and asked softly under his curious gaze.

"Who are you referring to as the most talented person?"

There's actually someone who dares to be more talented than Miss Hong Li? Such a person shouldn't exist!

"Ah, this..."

The old man paused for a moment, then sighed, "That boy named Heiyang, if his parents hadn't explicitly told me that he had never been taught to read by any other teacher before, I would have thought they sent that boy to deliberately make fun of me."
