Chapter 276 How did you know this wouldn't be on the exam?
Long Qianxue chuckled softly, "Naturally—I'll extract your dragon bone!"
She agreed to Long Zhuochi's request for the ancient ominous formation, which required the dragon bones of the Jiaolong clan as the formation's core. If the dragons were of royal blood, their power would be greatly enhanced.
Long Zhuochi wanted to marry her father, but she insisted on marrying Long Mengyue!
She stretched out her hand fiercely.
"what!!!!"
A piercing scream echoed throughout the prison.
……
The following day, at Lulin Academy.
When Wei Wenlong saw Di Chong pick up the book, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Seriously, are you out of your mind???"
"We agreed to be academic underachievers together, so why are you studying now?"
"You're making me panic, bro!"
He spread his five fingers and waved them in front of Di Chong's eyes. "You didn't go to the Taoist temple and get possessed by some mysterious power, did you?"
He tilted his head to look at Qiao Jingyuan behind Di Chong.
"Hey, Qiao Jingyuan, do you think he's gone mad?"
Qiao Jingyuan glanced at Di Chong, then at Zhai Jiqing who was engrossed in reading a book not far away, and pursed his lips without saying a word.
One hand was under the table, tightly clutching his package.
Di Chong slapped Wei Wenlong's hand away, "Go away! Get out of here! Don't disturb my studying!"
"Miss Zhai said that reading a couple more pages of a book is always a good thing!"
"She's very accurate in her predictions, and I trust her."
"And another thing," Di Chong added seriously, "don't call me by my real name anymore, call me Guo'er."
"I will use this name temporarily before the scientific expedition."
Wei Wenlong looked at him as if he were a ghost.
"It's all been turned upside down. The world has finally turned into a shape I don't recognize anymore..."
He remained speechless for a long time before finally patting Di Chong on the shoulder.
"I wish you success, Brother Guo'er."
When Zhai Jiqing heard them mention Zhai Rongyu, his eyes glanced over slightly.
Is Di Chong also a follower of Little Sister?
When Di Chong met his gaze, he immediately slammed the book on the table and walked towards Zhai Jiqing.
"Hello, Zhai Jiqing."
Zhai Jiqing looked up at him.
Di Chong awkwardly avoided eye contact. "I apologize for what I did to you before. I'm sorry."
A look of surprise appeared in Zhai Jiqing's eyes.
Di Chong immediately raised his voice: "Don't be so smug!"
"I'm only being nice to you now because of your sister!"
"It's not that I'm afraid of you!"
He lowered his voice and muttered, "Besides, you always act so arrogant and cocky, who wouldn't want to punch you?"
Zhai Jiqing raised an eyebrow.
"Me, being arrogant?"
Di Chong nodded, about to voice his resentment at being exploited for years, when Zhai Jiqing added coolly, "That's because I'm entitled to it."
He's the top student in the school, so why can't he be arrogant?
"Besides, why don't you just say you're bad at it?"
Di Chong glared at him angrily, his words stuck in his throat.
Zhai Jiqing pushed the booklet in his hand over.
"With such poor skills, how much improvement can you expect from just reading those two pages of a book?"
"Let's improve efficiency."
He never took this group seriously and naturally couldn't be bothered with them.
Whether Di Chong treated him well or badly made no difference.
However, Di Chong is a follower of his younger sister. Now that he has listened to his younger sister's words and is studying hard, if he does not make any progress, he will only bring trouble to his younger sister for no reason.
He certainly didn't want his little sister's follower to be a useless person.
Di Chong glanced down at the booklet on the table, his eyes suddenly lighting up. "This is... your notes?!"
Zhai Jiqing hummed in agreement.
"Don't forget it."
The moment his finger touched the booklet, Di Chong snatched it away, saying, "Hehe, anyone who doesn't want it is a fool!"
He opened it and glanced at it, becoming even more excited when he saw the annotations and explanations inside.
The classics and historical texts that were difficult to understand just now are now exceptionally clear.
After flipping through just two pages, my brain, which had been blocked for years, suddenly cleared up!
"So that's how this can be understood!"
Di Chong became increasingly impressed as he flipped through the pages.
I felt an inexplicable sense of respect for this top student.
He slammed the booklet shut, clutching it to his chest like a precious treasure. "Zhai Jiqing! I hereby officially declare that I will never bother you again!"
"From now on, you are my brother! My own brother!"
He picked up the booklet and gave it two quick kisses.
Zhai Jiqing was speechless. "Don't pollute it with your saliva."
Di Chong chuckled twice.
Wei Wenlong shuddered at the sight of it from a distance. "Crazy old man."
Di Chong pretended not to hear, walked to his seat, opened Zhai Jiqing's review notes, and began to read them carefully.
Qiao Jingyuan glanced at the contents of the notebook behind him, and a hint of sarcasm rose in his gloomy eyes.
"Don't treat every piece of junk like a treasure."
He sneered, "You'd be better off reading a couple more pages of a book."
Di Chong turned his head disapprovingly, "I've been reading that book all day!"
"Those words seem to be fighting in my head, the more I look at them, the more dizzy I get!"
“But this one,” he said, picking up Zhai Jiqing’s booklet, “you know what, I actually understand a bit of it.”
Qiao Jingyuan curled his lips in disdain.
"What's the use of understanding it?"
"If these things aren't on the exam, then all your studying has been for nothing."
Di Chong frowned at him. "How do you know this won't be on the exam?"
Qiao Jingyuan suddenly fell silent.
"it's up to you."
Zhai Jiqing glanced at Qiao Jingyuan sideways before quickly looking away.
Zhai Rong arrived at Lulin Academy by carriage.
"Shuang'er, give all this food and clothing to the person in charge of the residence. I'm going to check on my second brother."
She jumped off the carriage.
With the imperial examinations approaching, many students temporarily moved into the academy to gain more time to review and prepare for the exams.
Zhai Jiqing also moved here a few days ago.
She had to come and see for herself, to help her second brother find the rotten apple that had caused all this trouble.
"Little sister!"
Upon seeing the figure outside the window, Zhai Jiqing stood up and went out to greet them, "What brings you here?"
Zhai Rongyu chuckled and said, "Father and sister asked me to bring you some things."
"Everything has been moved to your place. If you need anything else, just send a message home, and I'll run errands for you!"
Zhai Jiqing pinched her cheek.
"Aren't you busy enough with your wedding?"
"You still have time to care about me."
Zhai Rong waved her hand, "Hey! The wedding is being handled by Ah Xu and the Emperor. I can't find a way to help even if I wanted to."
They're both incredibly childish.
[The monarch and the regent, a dignified ruler, each consider themselves part of my maternal family, while the other considers themselves part of her husband's family.]
The two of them were secretly competing in something, though no one knew what.
They've really made my wedding more and more extravagant.
Zhai Rong sighed and rubbed her forehead.
Zhai Jiqing was secretly pleased to hear this.
Both the Emperor and the Regent value my younger sister highly, and they will certainly not mistreat her in the future.
Di Chong, with his sharp eyes, spotted Zhai Rongyu and quickly dragged Wei Wenlong out of the academy, shouting, "Second Miss Zhai!"
"Now that you've come, could you please give me another clear answer?"
Di Chong rubbed his hands together, his face full of flattery.
"Explicitly? What explicitly?" Wei Wenlong perked up as well. "I'd like to hear it too?"
Zhai Rongyu: ...
Qiao Jingyuan looked at the group of people laughing and talking inside the room, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he quietly walked to Zhai Jiqing's table...
