Chapter 622: Su Xun. "Well said!"
A woman's voice suddenly rang out.
Someone abruptly set a jug of wine before the young man.
He froze, then looked up to see a stunning woman with gray-white hair.

Verdant Green Maiden smiled faintly and studied him as she asked slowly, "I heard you muttering something about it being merely a Grace Examination.
