"He agreed to take the assessment?"
"Yes."
"Yun'er, well done!"
A stretched Soul Tool Car traveled down the avenue in front of the Red-Walled, Gold-Tiled Imperial Palace, its body gleaming with a soft, cool sheen in the night.
Inside, Long Yue and Dai Yun'er were chatting happily.
Dai Yun'er had asked Tang San to give up his exemption and take the Monster Academy's assessment, but the idea had actually come from Long Yue.
Long Yue wasn't genuinely concerned about Tang San's reputation, nor was he hoping Tang San would fail to get into the Monster Academy. He intended to lure Tang San into a trap, one step at a time.
To that end, Long Yue had brought together his little circle-Su Mu, Hua Lantang, Ye Zhi, and Dai Yueyan.
"Ye Zhi, Su Mu, you're in charge of getting this news out," Long Yue instructed.
The interior of the car was astonishingly spacious. Even with six people in the back, it wasn't cramped at all.
"Sure." Su Mu nodded. "That's easy enough. I've already started taking over my family's businesses. It's just that Ye Zhi-"
"All it takes is a word," Ye Zhi said. "Don't picture me as some decorative princess."
Dai Yun'er, the actual decorative princess: "..."
"Then what about me-" Hua Lantang realized he had nothing to do.
Long Yue shook his head. "Keep serializing Tales of the Qilin Douluo. How have the readers been responding?"
Hua Lantang was a little afraid to answer. "A lot of people are calling the Qilin Douluo a cuck."
"He is."
"..." Everyone fell silent.
Long Yue said, "So nobody thinks His Eminence the Qilin Douluo is a murderer? Instead, he's become a cuck who avenged his mother and got played like a puppet by a woman?"
Hua Lantang said, "More or less."
