Chapter 318: True Value

"By the way, you say Xian Gu Kingdom? Is that the name of the mainland kingdom?" Ye Jiao decided to change the conversation.

"Yes."

"That means, the name of the Imperial Family is Xian Gu?"

Qin Zheng shook his head. "It's not. There are actually two surnames for the Imperial Family: Xian and Gu. As for why there are two, you'll naturally learn that with history lessons if you get accepted."

"Are you telling me to wait until I got accepted into an academy?"

"Yes."

"… Why can't you tell me now?"

"Because there's a chance for you not to get accepted into any of the academies."

Hearing his words, Ye Jiao got the urge to slam her fist into his face. Couldn't he say something nice? She felt as if he just wanted her to fail with the way he worded his words.
