The commercial mutual-praising session before the examination was basically just a matter between the four families of Dan, Cao, Bai, and Qiu.
The people of the Ye Family, ever since entering the grand hall, had remained completely silent without even whispering to each other. Or rather, they didn't dare to.
Even so, when it was time for the dissing session, the Ye Family still inevitably became the primary target of attack.
After all, you were the only soft persimmon present; if they didn't squeeze you, who else would they squeeze?
Squeeze the Dan Family or the Cao Family? Stop joking.
Those two weren't soft persimmons; they were sea urchins!
"Ye Zhong, it's been several years. I wonder if your Ye Family has prepared candidates for the examination this time?"
The first to speak was someone from the Bai Household. The old lady leading them didn't look like any kind of righteous figure, and the one Xiao Yan had slapped later was estimated to be this very person.
The juniors of the Bai Household also began whispering among themselves after their elders initiated the group attack.
The decline of the Ye Family had already been reflected during the previous examination.
Among all participants in the examination, the people of the Ye Family successfully separated themselves from the rest with a cliff-like score, lagging far behind.
The kind that couldn't even catch up to eat exhaust fumes.
"This doesn't require your concern."
Ye Zhong took a deep breath, evaded the question raised by Old Madam Bai, and feigned composure as he spoke.
However, Ye Zhong's entirely lacking-in-confidence response only caused Old Madam Bai to intensify her efforts, her words becoming even sharper.
Seeing the two arguing heatedly, the Qiu Family couldn't help but join in and mock them for a few rounds.
