Under everyone's scornful gazes, Zhong Ling'er stopped writing and calmly walked toward the middle-aged man on the tall platform . The entire venue quieted down with her action .
Long Yuan's brows furrowed, and he ordered a eunuch to accept her paper . The eunuch walked up as ordered and carefully held the paper, which was still wet with ink, as he walked to several old men .
In the venue, besides the Emperor and Noble Consort who dictated the whole competition, there was also the group of examiners formed by the Empires' imperial physicians . These imperial physicians' reputation spread far and wide, so there was nothing better than having them act as the examiners .
One of the old men accepted the paper and lightly skimmed it, but this glance alone caused astonishment to appear in his eyes .
"Quickly, come and take a look . " The elderly man's expression was immensely shocked .
Hearing this, the other old men gathered around him . After seeing the contents of the paper, their face exhibited the same expression .
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that Zhong Ling'er's rubbish angered these imperial physicians?"
The people beneath them all whispered in each other's ears and spiritedly discussed .
Zhong Ling'er's identity was out in the open . She was nothing more than a servant girl who came here to be humiliated in place of a prodigy from the Tianyun Kingdom, so how could she have genuine abilities? If she was capable enough to impress these imperial physicians, she would certainly not be a servant girl anymore .
However, the following reality was like a slap that fiercely landed on these presumptuous people .
"Perfect! This answer is too perfect! Not a single word wrong and incredibly detailed!"
The imperial physicians all nodded their heads in praise . Although many prodigies came here, there still were not many who could be this detailed in a short amount of time . It was no wonder that they were so stunned earlier .
Tian Qi tossed down the brush in his hand with dismay and looked at Zhong Ling'er with turmoil in his eyes as he asked, "You can't be a mere servant girl, right?"
How could a servant girl possess such ability?
Zhong Ling'er lifted her chin . "I'm truly a servant girl . There's no doubt about it . "
"Miss . " On top of the platform, an old man asked with a faint smile, "Can this old crock know who taught you?"
Hearing this, a trace of pride entered Zhong Ling'er face and tone . "My teacher is my master, Yun Luofeng!"
She was proud because she had a master like Yun Luofeng . Ever since she decided to vow loyalty and devotion to Yun Luofeng back then, she had been fated to step onto an extraordinary road .
At this moment, Zhong Ling'er was quite thankful for the Crown Prince of the Longyuan Kingdom, Gao Ling . If it weren't for the imperial family's precautions against the General Estate back then, she, who had been born useless, would not have been selected into the corps .
The crowd turned into an uproar, clamoring about this news .
No wonder a person praised by the imperial physicians would be a servant girl! If Yun Luofeng was incredibly talented in medicine as well, then they would wholeheartedly be willing to be her servants . Of course, the prerequisite was that she had this ability!
In this world, there were a countless number of prodigies, so what if this servant received a compliment? Her memory concerning medicinal herbs did not represent her ability .
In today's gathering of prodigies, she did not have a good chance of winning .
Zhong Ling'er walked with her head held up high and her chest puffed out . Under the shocked, doubtful, and disdainful gazes of those people, she left the competition floor like a proud peacock and walked to the side of Yun Luofeng .
"Master, I won't disappoint you . "
She must win against her opponent regardless of how hard she had to try .
"You've worked hard . " Yun Luofeng faintly smiled before turning her sight onto the competition floor again .
After Zhong Ling'er left, the remaining competitors also walked onto the stage one by one whenever the eunuch called their name .
