"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.
Qin Zheng smiled slightly. "You should pay more attention in the examination. Even though this time there's no direct confrontation with the other youngsters, there are two more people like you."
Like her?
Ye Jiao understood almost immediately that he must mean her talent. There must be two more people who have the same talent as her from a different place. She smiled slightly. Who said that those with S talent are rare? There were already three people just this year.
Little did she know that the next few years after this, there won't be any S Talent. However, it would be for the future.
"It's going to be an interesting comparison," Ye Jiao remarked.
"Make sure that you're not at the bottom, little lady," Qin Zheng raised his hand and messed up the girl's hair.
"Stop that!" Ye Jiao quickly moved away from Qin Zheng. She glared at the young man. "Like I will stay at the bottom."
"We shall see about that," Qin Zheng looked over at Ye Jiao's face and pondered for a moment.
"What is it?"
"You keep on staring at my face. To be exact, my lips. Is there anything there or are you trying to read my lips' movement?"
Hearing his words, Ye Jiao was stunned. She didn't expect that he would find out about her hearing problem so soon. Even though she looked at his lips to know what he was talking about, she still did it covertly.
'He's so sharp.'
Looking at the girl's troubled face, Qin Zheng raised his hand and touched her left ear. Ye Jiao was alarmed and tried to pull back, but he didn't let her go by putting Eon Energy to block her. Pouring his Eon Energy to probe, he soon found out that the inside was broken. She couldn't hear his words properly.
"You…. what happened?"
Before he went his separate ways with this young girl, she was still healthy with no problem whatsoever. In addition, she was also a fine assassin who had trained her senses to reach high sensitivity. Having a broken eardrum like this would surely reduce her capabilities.
"I want to," Qin Zheng took out a bottle from his storage bracelet and seriously looked at the young girl. "This pill can cure any kind of illness. You should take it and recover your ear before it's the time for the examination."
Ye Jiao stared at the bottle that Qin Zheng showed to her. It was tempting as she did find it troublesome to be looking at other people's lips every time she wanted to know what they were talking about. However…
"I don't have anything that I can give you, Brother Zheng. I don't want to be in your debt."
"I didn't ask you to pay me back," Qin Zheng pondered for a moment. "How about this, let's have a spar again after you enter the academy?"
"Even without you asking, I'll gladly accept the offer," Ye Jiao clasped her fist together, eager to send a punch to the man before her.
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows. "I mean the formal one."
"I'll surely challenge you, so it's not really a favor on your side."
"You're stubborn."
"Don't try to put me into your debt," Ye Jiao rolled her eyes. She didn't really want to get associated with this annoying young man. "Why do you even want to help me?"
"I want to see how far you can go in the examination. Besides, if you're defeated by me when you're in this bad condition, I wouldn't feel the satisfaction of winning."
"Winning?" Ye Jiao frowned. "What do you mean?"
"You'll know later when the examination starts."
"You… You're so annoying!" Ye Jiao truly wished to drag this boy out and pummeled him to the ground. If only it was possible, she would gladly do that!
Smiling lightly, Qin Zheng felt that this young girl was truly hard to handle. Well, in the first place, she was the one who forced her way to interact with him. Thanks to that one meeting, he could survive and fulfilled his task in the Four Kingdoms.
"Do you really don't have anything valuable?"
Ye Jiao frowned. She was about to repeat that she didn't have any when she recalled the three storage bracelets that she plundered from Eon Energy Master Rank 4. To be exact, it was Lin Ruoyun who plundered them, but she gave them all to her.
She had checked the content but didn't find any medicine that could possibly help her. There was also some money and weapons, but most of them were only filled with useless items that she didn't know the use for.
Ye Jiao took out the three bracelets. "I don't know if any of these can be of use. Do you want to check the content?"
"Where did you get them?" Qin Zheng took it and scanned it using his Eon Energy. Since Ye Jiao didn't claim it to be hers, he still could see the content. To his surprise, many things were supposed to not exist in either Four Kingdoms and the Xian Gu Kingdom.
"Just from a battle."
"This should have belonged to Eon Energy Master Rank 4 at least," Qin Zheng looked at the girl with a frown. "Why did you pick a fight against someone at that level?"
"I didn't pick a fight!"
"Also, I can say for sure that if someone knew that you possess this bracelet, you would be in a lot of trouble."
Looking at the bracelet that Qin Zheng showed, Ye Jiao knew that it was the one from Elder Jing. She had checked the content herself, so she knew what was inside. Honestly, it was his bracelet that contained numerous items that she didn't understand what was the use for.
So many strange rocks, medicine, and also herbs. Even Lu Wan was confused, though that boy took all the herbs, so all that was left in this bracelet was some money, medicine, and rocks.
He didn't even have any books. As for weapons, the previous owner had taken it out during the battle and Lin Ruoyun didn't bother taking it again.
"I don't see anything valuable there."
"That's because you don't know the value," Qin Zheng pointed to a rock inside the storage bracelet as he showed it to Ye Jiao. He didn't dare take it out for he understood that it could be dangerous. "This is Meteorite Lava Metal. It's one of the best ore if you wish to forge a weapon with a fire attribute."
"There's an attribute for weapons too?"
"Of course there is, are you an idiot?"
"..."
Even though Ye Jiao was displeased by his rude comment, she chose not to bother with it. It was partially her fault too that she never received proper education, so she didn't know anything about that.
"How great is the weapon from that metal?"
Qin Zheng didn't directly reply. He thought for a moment. "If it's given to a Grandmaster Forging Master, you can get a weapon that can withstand even the heat from erupting mountains."
Lava?
Ye Jiao was stunned speechless. She knew that lava was practically the hottest item in the entire world. If this metal could even withstand that… she could not imagine how great it would be.
"If it's me, I still can't make anything that amazing," Qin Zheng frowned. He had longed to be able to create a great weapon, so he has been collecting some good material. However, he still needed a lot of practice.
"So… is it possible to trade this sto-metal ore with the medicine?"
"You're just about to call this a stone?"
Hearing his displeased tone, Ye Jiao just stuck out her tongue. She didn't have any knowledge regarding minerals and so on, so in her eyes it was nothing more than a stone. Of course, she knew that in Qin Zheng's eyes it was truly a treasure.
"Sure, I'll gladly trade it," Qin Zheng took the Meteorite Lava Metal and placed it in his Spatial Ring. Ye Jiao looked at the ring at the man's pinky finger with widened eyes. Was that also a storage item?

"Yes."
