Aside from the matters stemming from the assessment results, Xia Liang had not forgotten that she still had other things to tell Larkspur.
Naturally, these concerned the chief examiner, Rose, whom she had met after leaving the maze, as well as everything Rose had said to her.
These were all matters that Xia Liang could not handle or decide on at her current stage, so she did not hide anything, describing every detail of what she had seen and heard.
