Huang Chen's excitement hadn't faded yet when one announcement of good news after another rang through the teahouse.
It was worth noting that the crowd seemed to have faintly heard the name Tao Yanxun.
Wang Xiao had just given the announcer a tip when he heard Ding Shutian and De'an ask in unison, "Is Tao Yanxun in the teahouse too?"
"How am I supposed to know? I don't know him. Even if we walked right past each other, I wouldn't be able to tell if he was Tao Yanxun or not."
"He must be in the teahouse. Ninth place. Heh, and with that kind of skill, he wanted to be the top scorer in the provincial examination?"
The words had barely been spoken when they faintly heard the "CRACK" of a teacup shattering from a private room not far away.
The sound was so sharp it silenced the entire teahouse.
A man's gloomy voice came from nearby. "My apologies, my hand slipped. Laishun, when you settle the bill later, remember to add the compensation for this."
