Life was good for De'an in Yueli Hall. In contrast, Zhao Jing was having a rough time over in Xiaocheng Hall.
Yin Xichen was a difficult man to deal with. That much was clear from the way he had deliberately given Zhao Jing and Chen De'an a hard time during the entrance exam.
But in reality, Yin Xichen was far more difficult than anyone had imagined.
Take, for instance, how Yin Xichen had negotiated terms with Zhao Jing and accepted the exceptionally talented student. One might have thought this was a sign of burying the hatchet, but as it turned out, they were all overthinking it.
When Zhao Jing joined Xiaocheng Hall, the twenty senior students inside hadn't even had a chance to give him any trouble. Instead, it was Yin Xichen who was already repeatedly "challenging" Zhao Jing.
Whenever he called on students to answer questions in class, Zhao Jing was always picked. And it was never just one question; he would grill him relentlessly, as if chasing down a cornered foe.
