Chapter 803: Destined to Fail

It wasn't because Zu An's cultivation was too high; on the contrary, the measured result was surprisingly low, only a sixth-rank.

Many believed that while he defeated the Crown Prince of Qi because a mysterious master hidden in the shadows had given him an unfair advantage, to have fought the Crown Prince for so long, he should at least be seventh rank or at the peak of sixth rank. Yet, he was only sixth rank.

Officials from the Prince of Qi's faction immediately raised objections, believing the test was flawed. They did not want the Crown Prince to have too powerful an assistant once he entered the secret realm. The Crown Prince's faction, having anticipated this, had many officials immediately engage in a war of words, firmly rebutting their claims. The dispute was so fierce that they were practically insulting each other's parents.

At this moment, Qi Yaoguang scoffed, "Are you questioning our Imperial Academy's favoritism towards Zu An?" Her voice, though not loud, was extremely piercing, quickly quieting the entire area. The officials from the Prince of Qi's faction immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Miss Qi, you've misunderstood. How could we possibly doubt the Academy's integrity? Since Zu An tested at sixth rank, then sixth rank it is." They did not want to offend the Imperial Academy and push this neutral force towards the Crown Prince's side. Furthermore, they had already discussed it internally; someone around seventh rank would not significantly affect the overall situation. Their earlier actions were merely a show to make the Crown Prince's side uncomfortable.

At this moment, Bi Linglong heard a spiritual energy transmission from her father, Bi Qi, in the distance: "Linglong, did you give him an artifact to conceal his cultivation?" Bi Linglong was also somewhat bewildered: "No, I don't have such a magical artifact."

"Then is his true cultivation really only sixth rank? Is it just due to some unconventional methods that his combat power is far superior to others at the same level?" Bi Qi's tone was filled with speculation.

"Perhaps," Bi Linglong said, biting her lip. *Is that guy really only sixth rank? Then this trip to the secret realm might be dangerous.* However, recalling Zu An's solemn promise to her that night, she suddenly felt at ease again.

At this point, Bi Qi asked, "The Prince of Qi's side would at most agree to let us send in one seventh-rank person. You used the spot on him instead of Rong Mo; was it truly worth it?"

Bi Linglong took a deep breath: "I believe him!"

Bi Qi frowned, but knowing his daughter had always been capable and discerning, he saw no need to say more since she insisted.

While the father and daughter communicated secretly, Gu Xing gloated, "For Linglong to value him so much, I thought he was some great deity. Turns out he's barely sixth rank. Haha, who among us doesn't have higher cultivation than him?"

Liu Xian, standing nearby, coughed, indicating he felt offended.

Gu Heng, not showing his feelings as obviously, said to Bi Linglong in a deep voice, "Crown Princess, you are always kind. You don't know how wicked people in the common world can be. You were most likely deceived by him before."

Bi Linglong frowned and said, "His strength must be higher than sixth rank." But as she continued, her confidence waned. The Academy's cultivation testing instruments had never malfunctioned, and this time, under everyone's watchful eyes, he was tested at sixth rank.

Gu Xing chuckled, "Linglong, why are you so sure? In my opinion, some people don't focus on cultivation but rather hire a propaganda team to brag about their strength everywhere. If it weren't for today's Imperial Academy test, they probably wouldn't have been exposed."

"It's not impossible," Meng Pan chuckled. "His various deeds have been circulating throughout the capital these days. I don't believe there's no mastermind behind it."

Zhao Xi of Prince Liang's Manor snorted, "I actually admired him a bit before. Turns out he's only at this level."

Liu Xian, however, was nonchalant: "His cultivation strength aside, his skill at wooing women is real. Later, I'll have to ask him how, with such ordinary conditions, he managed to win the favor of Miss Chu."

The group debated animatedly, while Pu Duandiao and Jiao Sigun felt indignant. Unfortunately, the status gap was too wide, and with Zu An's proven sixth rank, they didn't know how to refute.

At this moment, Bi Linglong also began to waver, her gaze fixed on the figure on stage, her expression complex. She did not doubt his potential, but potential required time to be realized. If something went wrong with the Crown Prince's upcoming important examination, there would be no more time.

At this point, the people around her were led off-topic by Liu Xian. Zhao Xi scoffed, "What, are you interested in Miss Chu again? You were just showering Qi Yaoguang with attention."

Liu Xian stroked his small mustache: "Of course not. Married women aren't my type. I like those who are emotionally obedient and especially pure. I've decided, Miss Qi is my next target. I'll go study at the Imperial Academy, in her class, to get a head start."

Meng Pan scoffed, "Give it a rest. Students at the Imperial Academy are all exceptionally talented, and Miss Qi is a direct disciple of the Grand Master. She generally only teaches students qualified for the inner mountain. You definitely have no chance."

Zhao Xi's tone was also full of admiration: "Miss Qi is truly beautiful and capable. She became the Grand Master's closed-door disciple at a young age, and crucially, she can even glimpse heavenly secrets. She's truly powerful and mysterious."

"Glimpse heavenly secrets?" Liu Xian finally reacted. "No wonder she knew what I was thinking just now. Haha, such a woman makes one feel more challenged to conquer."

The others rolled their eyes, too lazy to indulge his daydreaming, and started chatting among themselves:

"I plan to go for further studies at the Imperial Academy after coming out of the secret realm. I only studied there haphazardly for two years back then, and now I regret not having learned the Academy's core teachings."

"That's right, I have the same idea. I heard there will be a selection exam for the Academy's inner mountain soon. With our qualifications, we should be able to apply directly. Only by entering the inner mountain can we learn profound cultivation techniques from the Grand Master's direct disciples."

"Which teacher do you want to study under? I prefer chess; Teacher Heibaizi's chess techniques are most appealing to me."

"I'd rather apprentice under Teacher Shenxuzi. You know, in later stages of cultivation, pills play a huge auxiliary role, and I hear he can also create combat puppets. If I had a few combat puppets, wouldn't my combat power increase severalfold?"

"As for me, I'm more inclined towards Teacher Jiang Luofu. She specializes in law, and her cultivation is extremely advanced. If I follow her, I'll definitely improve greatly."

"Pfft~ Do you really want to study law? We're not interested in exposing your true intentions."

"But Teacher Jiang's long legs in black stockings, they're truly divine! Who wouldn't want to learn from her?"

...

Although they spoke in hushed tones, being so close, Bi Linglong could still hear them clearly. Seeing the Gu brothers join in with ambiguous smiles, she felt speechless. These men were truly all lechers.

At this moment, Pei You said coldly, "You're still being picky. The selection exam for the Academy's inner mountain is extremely strict. Those who pass are geniuses, one in ten thousand. You'll be lucky if any teacher is willing to take you then."

"That's true, I don't even know if I can pass that selection exam."

"Heavens, I'd be eternally grateful just to be accepted by any teacher."

...

Thinking of the difficulty of being admitted to the Academy's inner mountain, the group looked like frost-bitten eggplants, their previous high spirits completely gone.

At this moment, someone with sharp eyes exclaimed, "Hey, those seem to be teachers from the Academy's inner mountain."

"That's right, Shenxuzi, Heibaizi, Wang Weiyang, Yin Shi. Wow, those long legs in black stockings, that must be Jiang Luofu!"

"Huh, why are so many inner mountain teachers out? It's been a long time since we've seen such a grand occasion."

Gu Xing reacted quickly, immediately flattering them: "Of course, with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess embarking on their journey, the Academy must also come to show their support." Although the others thought the Academy had always remained neutral and shouldn't overtly favor the Crown Prince's side, they couldn't think of any other reason, so they joined in agreement. At the same time, each of them quietly straightened their clothes and puffed out their chests, thinking how lucky they were to bask in the glory of being near the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. Later, when the teachers came to pay their respects to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, they would surely make a good impression. Perhaps they would be noticed and directly admitted.

At this moment, Zu An had already descended from the high platform and came to Bi Linglong's side, nodding to her with a smile. Bi Linglong thought, *This guy is quite composed. I hope he remains this way once we're in the secret realm.*

Although the young masters from other families had been cold and sarcastic towards Zu An earlier, at this moment, they had no mood to pay attention to him. Even the Gu brothers had nothing more to say, each puffing out their chests and eagerly gazing at the inner mountain teachers approaching them. Gu Xing, with the most active mind, immediately stepped forward to greet them: "Teachers, are you here to see off the Crown Prince and Crown Princess? They are over there; I'll lead you to them." The others cursed this guy inwardly for being cunning, then, one by one, mimicked him and rushed to curry favor.

However, the teachers each wore cold expressions, seemingly indifferent to them. However, the young masters of the aristocratic families showed no dissatisfaction; instead, they considered it natural. It was well-known that the Imperial Academy never valued family background, only talent, especially the Grand Master's direct disciples from the inner mountain, who were all extremely arrogant. Not to mention them, even if their fathers were here, these individuals would likely maintain this cold attitude.

The teachers, led by Shenxuzi, approached the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. They casually cupped their hands as a sign of greeting, then their gaze fell upon Zu An, who was standing nearby. The indifference on their faces instantly melted away, replaced by expressions of eager attentiveness:

"Mr. Zu, why didn't you tell us you were coming to the Academy? I tried researching the steam engine you mentioned last time, and it feels like it has opened a completely new door!"

"Fourth brother, don't hog him! Move aside... Mr. Zu, I've made progress on the male sterile plant you mentioned last time. Perhaps I'll find it by the time you come out of the secret realm. I'll need your guidance for the follow-up work then."

"Pfft, all of you step aside! Mr. Zu has already promised to play chess with me after he comes out."

"What's the point of chess? Clear conversation is better; only then can we discern the truths of the universe."

...

The few people quickly began to bicker. Zu An seized the opportunity to approach Jiang Luofu: "Sister, why did you come? I was worried it would affect your family's relationship with the Prince of Qi."

Jiang Luofu smiled, pressing her lips together: "I was a bit worried initially, but coming with them, it's fine now."

"That's true," Zu An chuckled.

"Eighth Senior Sister, you must be careful. This guy is a charmer. Don't let him trick you into bed. It wouldn't be good if you got pregnant secretly and then he abandoned you." Qi Yaoguang popped her head out from somewhere.

Jiang Luofu's face darkened: "If you don't know how to use idioms, don't misuse them. Mind your own business. You're foolish all the time; you're the type who would get pregnant and not even realize it."

"Oh, I'm still young! You're talking about such naughty things to me. I'm going to tell the teacher!"

"..."

The Gu brothers and other aristocratic youths nearby were instantly dumbfounded. What was happening before their eyes? Their cold, aloof gods and goddesses seemed to have changed completely, their attitudes towards Zu An not just enthusiastic, but almost... fawning?

Seeing their crestfallen expressions, Bi Linglong's lips couldn't help but curve slightly upward. For some reason, at this moment, she felt a greater sense of triumph than if she had achieved something herself. *Hmph, a bunch of self-righteous idiots.*

In the Prince of Qi's faction far away, Chu Youzhao saw Jiang Luofu and Qi Yaoguang gathered around Zu An, her gaze involuntarily falling upon the proud, long legs in black stockings.

Murong Qinghe's voice, full of admiration, came from beside her: "Teacher Jiang's legs are truly long and beautiful. Even as a woman, I can't help but love them."

"Hmph, she's just a vixen. My sister's legs are just as beautiful; she just doesn't wear revealing clothes like that normally." Chu Youzhao snorted.

Murong Qinghe's expression was a bit strange. *Are there really men in this world who don't like Jiang Luofu's long legs in black stockings?* However, she didn't think much of it, assuming it was simply because of her sister.

At this moment, Chu Youzhao spoke: "Come, follow me." Murong Qinghe didn't understand why, but she followed anyway.

Before Chu Youzhao even reached Zu An, she shouted loudly from afar, "Brother-in-law~ I've been waiting for you." She deliberately emphasized the words "brother-in-law," seemingly reminding other women that he was a married man.

Zu An turned to see her, a smile appearing on his face: "Oh, it's Youzhao."

Chu Youzhao walked over, unknowingly nudging Jiang Luofu and Qi Yaoguang aside. She then took out a bag and pulled out many items, stuffing them into Zu An's arms: "Brother-in-law, these are things I prepared for you. I hope they'll help you on your secret realm trip. These are pastries; eating might be a big problem once you're in the realm. This is insect repellent to avoid bug disturbances. This is medicine to clear heat and detoxify, to prevent fevers and such. These are healing medicines for both internal and external injuries; you'll definitely face many battles, so it's good to be prepared. These are antidotes, to a certain extent preventing poisonous insects and plants..."

"Thank you, Youzhao." Seeing her pull out various items, Zu An felt a moment of daze. Back in the Bright Moon Academy's secret realm, Ji Xiaoxi had also given him all sorts of things, which truly saved his life in the end.

"Brother-in-law, don't be a stranger. My sister told me to take good care of you when she left." As she spoke, she deliberately shot a provocative glance at Jiang Luofu and Qi Yaoguang, thinking she had to protect her brother-in-law from these vixen taking advantage of him.

The Prince of Qi's party members in the distance secretly discussed the situation they were witnessing. Murong Tong came to Qin Zheng's side and said with a grin, "Raising daughters really is a losing venture. Even their children turn their elbows outwards. Chu Chuyan has already divorced Zu An, yet Youzhao still calls him 'brother-in-law' so affectionately and gives him all sorts of gifts, proving that Chu Chuyan's relationship with him is still very good."

Qin Zheng's face turned ashen: "Youzhao is truly improper. She's completely ruining her sister's reputation like this."

Rage points from Qin Zheng +358 +358 +358...

Murong Tong, standing nearby, was all smiles. He had been having a rough time lately, but seeing his old friend's children all turning their elbows outwards, he finally found a glimmer of amusement.

Just then, Murong Qinghe handed a bag to Zu An: "Brother Zu, I don't have much to give you, so I'll give you this storage bag. It can hold a lot of things; everything Brother Chu just gave you can fit inside, and it's convenient to carry."

Zu An felt a warmth in his heart: "Thank you, Sister Qinghe." Although he had a Glazed Pearl with even more space, it was inconvenient to use openly on a daily basis. With the one she gave him, he could openly and freely store and retrieve items.

Murong Qinghe's face flushed slightly: "Brother Zu, you're too kind. I've benefited greatly from your care and help these days."

Murong Tong's smile froze on his face in the distance. Qin Zheng's gloom vanished, and he stroked his beard, laughing heartily: "Indeed, raising daughters is a losing venture!"

Murong Tong: "..." *How could he have known that fortunes would turn so quickly?*

Rage points from Murong Tong +399 +399 +399...

Soon it was time to enter the secret realm. The group of ministers led by the Prince of Qi, regardless of their true thoughts, verbally wished the Crown Prince a successful start. Bi Linglong knew the Crown Prince wasn't very adept at such exchanges, so she responded on his behalf.

After a period of undercurrents and subtle clashes, the Prince of Qi's gaze fell upon Zu An: "Lord Zu, we'll have to rely on you for this trip to the secret realm."

Hearing his words, many aristocratic young masters, including the Gu brothers, showed indignation. *Why! He's merely sixth rank; do we need to rely on him?*

Rage points from Zhao Xi +477!Rage points from Meng Pan +477!Rage points from Pei You +477!...

There were also intelligent people among them, and someone quickly realized a problem: *Why does the Prince of Qi value him so much?* Although they belonged to different factions, they still acknowledged the Prince of Qi's formidable strength. He was the leader of the opposing faction, a figure on par with the Emperor. Even their fathers, or grandfathers, would have to defer to him. Yet, he was showing such concern for a mere Zu An?

Being in the imperial palace herself, Bi Linglong was well aware that the Prince of Qi and Zu An had actually clashed several times, with neither gaining an advantage. So it was normal for the Prince to see him in a new light. However, the Prince deliberately chose this moment to express his regard for Zu An, clearly aiming to stir up discord among them.

Zu An felt no ripple in his heart despite the constant rage points received in the background. He no longer took these people seriously: "Prince of Qi, rest assured, I will definitely help the Crown Prince complete this important examination."

The Prince of Qi's eyes narrowed. After a long moment, he said meaningfully, "It's good for young people to be ambitious, but too much pride can lead to ruin."

Zu An said with a smile, "Besides me, the Crown Prince's entourage has so many masters from aristocratic families. How difficult could it be to hunt a Sky-Measuring Jade Moon Dragon? Why does the Prince of Qi seem unoptimistic? Could it be that you've made some arrangements that will lead to our downfall?"

Originally, Zhao Xi, Meng Pan, and the others, hearing Zu An praise them, unconsciously puffed out their chests, thinking, *This guy sure knows how to talk.* Who knew he would immediately claim that the Prince of Qi had set a trap for them? Their faces changed drastically. *Does this brash young man not understand the rules of officialdom? Even if two people are mortal enemies in official circles, everyone must maintain a harmonious front.* *Saying whatever he thinks, he's truly a boor from the common folk.* Each of them was full of contempt, while simultaneously worrying that the Prince of Qi would turn hostile, potentially implicating them all.

Rage points from Zhao Xi +222!Rage points from Meng Pan +222!Rage points from Pei You +222!...

Surprisingly, the Prince of Qi didn't get angry; instead, he smiled genially, "Lord Zu, you worry too much. This king was merely offering a reminder. I wish you all a smooth journey once again." Even Bi Linglong, who loathed him, had to admit that it was no wonder the Prince of Qi held such high prestige both in court and among the populace. Such magnanimity was indeed beyond ordinary people.

Soon, Zhuxie Chixin walked over, seemingly concerned that the Prince of Qi might act against them. The Emperor was not present today, only sending trusted ministers like Meng Yi, Bi Qi, and Zhuxie Chixin. However, with them guarding the secret realm entrance, there was no need to worry about the Prince of Qi's party doing anything underhanded on site.

At this moment, Qi Yaoguang slowly walked onto the high platform. Her half-closed sleepy eyes became beautiful and profound like the starry sky. Holding an astrolabe, she murmured incantations. Soon, the surrounding air rippled like water. Those with profound cultivation could feel the spiritual energy around them changing violently, and space itself seemed to be reconstructing.

The mustachioed Liu Xian's eyes widened: "Shouldn't the Grand Master open the secret realm? Miss Qi... can she really do it?" He wasn't the only one with this doubt. Qi Yaoguang's appearance was too youthful, even somewhat childlike, like those innocent young ladies from prominent families. It was difficult to associate her with something as monumental as controlling a secret realm.

As the Crown Princess, Bi Linglong had more comprehensive information. Hearing this, she explained, "Qi Yaoguang is the Grand Master's closed-door disciple, studying profound and mysterious subjects like Ziwei Dou Shu and the wheel of fate. So you mustn't judge a book by its cover. Moreover, this Academy's secret realm opens once every four years, and the Academy has hundreds of years of experience controlling it. Naturally, the Grand Master doesn't need to personally attend."

Liu Xian's lips curved into his signature greasy smile again: "I'm becoming more and more interested in Miss Qi. After coming out of the secret realm, I must use my masculine charm to completely conquer her."

The others around him rolled their eyes. The broad-shouldered, thick-waisted Zhao Xi, being the most straightforward, directly said, "Stop talking! My breakfast is almost coming back up."

Liu Xian snorted, "How would a crude fellow like you understand a young lady's heart? Talking about this with you is like playing a lute to a cow."

"What did you say?!" Zhao Xi's eyes widened in fury upon hearing this, and he rolled up his sleeves, ready to confront him. Liu Xian reacted quickly, immediately shrinking behind his cousin. Gao Ying wore a helpless expression but could only stand in front of Zhao Xi. Zhao Xi frowned. This Gao Ying was famous, and his cultivation had just been tested at the peak of sixth rank. If they truly clashed, he might not fare well. Yet, to just let it go, he couldn't swallow his anger, leaving him in a dilemma. Meng Pan, who was always at odds with him, was itching for them to fight, almost ready to start cheering. Pei You stood far away, holding his sword, his face indifferent. The Gu brothers were even more excited. They wished to see these scions of top families fight, preferably to the death, so that second-tier families like the Gu family would have a chance to rise.

Bi Linglong finally couldn't stand it and said irritably, "What are you doing? Do you still respect the Crown Prince and me? You're already fighting among yourselves before even entering?" Zhao Xi and Liu Xian quickly used this as an excuse to back down, apologizing to her simultaneously.

Zu An, standing nearby, didn't care about their little incident. He was pondering something: Qi Yaoguang had just said the secret realm opened once every four years, but Jiang Luofu had previously mentioned the last opening was three years ago. That meant it wasn't yet time for this opening. It seemed it was being opened a year early for the Crown Prince's important examination. *But would that really not cause any problems?* Secret realms were essentially spatial rifts, connecting to independent worlds. If anything went wrong, they might never return. However, Zu An saw that the Academy didn't seem too worried about this, and if there were any issues, the Emperor wouldn't just stand by. So, it should probably be fine... right?

Soon, a wormhole-like gate of light appeared before them. Bi Linglong waved her hand, and Pu Duandiao and Jiao Sigun led some Eastern Palace guards to enter first and investigate the situation. Zhao Xi and the others also waved, sending some of their subordinates to follow and assist. Not long after, Pu Duandiao and the others' voices came from inside: "All clear."

Only then did Bi Linglong nod, signaling the nearby guards to help the Crown Prince enter. Seeing this, the Gu brothers and others hastily gathered around her, appearing as if to protect her. Zhao Xi, Meng Pan, and others also approached the Crown Prince. The two of them were the most important, so their safety naturally had to be protected first.

Seeing the group jostling to curry favor, Zu An smiled, not bothering to join them. He intended to stay at the back to guard the rear. Who knew that at this moment, Bi Linglong would turn back and wave to him: "Lord Zu, why aren't you coming? The Crown Prince and I are counting on you for our safety!"

The people around them, who had been bickering earlier, now looked at him with envy, jealousy, and resentment. *Why did the Crown Princess trust this guy so much? Is it just because he's a bit of a pretty boy? First Miss Chu, now the Crown Princess. Hmph, are all women so shallow?*

Seeing the constant rage points received in the background, Zu An gave a wry smile. *This woman is trying to put me on the spot.* However, he also understood her thoughts. There were unknown dangers in the secret realm, and crucially, they didn't know the Prince of Qi's schemes. So every step had to be taken carefully. She would only feel secure with the person she trusted most by her side.

Seeing them enter the secret realm one by one, Chu Youzhao in the distance had a strange expression: "Does the Crown Princess have feelings for my brother-in-law?"

"That shouldn't be the case," Murong Qinghe was startled and quickly signaled her to switch to voice transmission. "There were rumors about the Crown Princess and Brother Zu before. If there was anything truly going on, she should avoid suspicion more. This instead proves her clear conscience. Besides, she's the dignified Crown Princess; only you treat your brother-in-law like such a hot commodity, as if everyone wants to snatch him."

Chu Youzhao immediately got annoyed: "Is my brother-in-law not good enough, not charming enough?"

"Brother Zu is pretty good, actually." Murong Qinghe secretly glanced at Chu Youzhao, and seeing his handsome face with red lips and white teeth, her pretty face couldn't help but blush. She secretly added in her heart, *In my heart, you're the best.*

After Zu An and his group entered the secret realm, these individuals, all elites carefully selected from various families, naturally had prior experience entering other secret realms. Therefore, once inside, they quickly established clear roles and formed a strict formation. Among the aristocratic youths, some scouts quickly dispersed in all directions to scout ahead and give warnings. The outer circle consisted of the remaining aristocratic warriors, the middle comprised Eastern Palace guards led by Pu Duandiao, and the innermost circle contained the Crown Prince, Crown Princess, Zu An, and others.

The group had already completed their intelligence gathering and soon arrived at the Azurewater Cold Pond, the habitat of the Sky-Measuring Jade Moon Dragon. Everyone was exceptionally tense, preparing for a bloody battle. Unfortunately, no matter how they tried to lure it out, there was no movement in the Azurewater Cold Pond. Next, they unleashed elemental attacks into the Azurewater Cold Pond, attempting to provoke and draw it out. Unfortunately, the water surface remained perfectly still. Finally, they even sent suicide squads into the water to search, but still, there was no sign of the Sky-Measuring Jade Moon Dragon.

"That thing is indeed not here; there's no trace of its aura inside." Zu An was uneasy, so he squatted by the cold pond. After a long moment, he finally withdrew his hand from the water. He had just tried to use his jade cong to summon small fish in the cold pond to check, but unfortunately, there wasn't a single fish or shrimp inside. Luckily, he still had his Azure Duck skill, which gave him a strong affinity for water elements. Feeling the water element fluctuations in the cold pond, he determined that there was no Sky-Measuring Jade Moon Dragon inside.

Meng Pan, nearby, muttered under his breath, "Pretentious. The suicide squads already went down to investigate. We don't need you to tell us it's not here."

Zu An smiled, not bothering to explain.

"What do we do then?" Bi Linglong's beautiful brows furrowed. The Crown Prince's important examination task was to hunt the Sky-Measuring Jade Moon Dragon. Now, with no target, didn't that mean the examination was doomed to fail?
