Nangong Qitao and his wife were flabbergasted; both Xiao Ye’s Two-tailed White Fox and the Golden Dragon of Xiao Ye and Nangong Siyan had scored full marks, tying as national scholars of the college entrance examination.
This means that Mang Yuan Base City has produced two national scholars this year!
Even more terrifying is that this year’s overall college entrance examination performance of Mang Yuan Base City has actually ranked ninth in the entire country! Nangong Qitao felt this was surreal, saying, "Wife, pinch me, are we dreaming?"
City Lord’s Wife Zhang Rou gave him a look and vigorously twisted the soft flesh on his waist.
"Hiss!" Nangong Qitao gasped in pain, cold sweat bursting out, and he expressed his shock in disbelief: "It’s really ninth in the nation!"
"Hahaha!" The City Lord was overjoyed, laughing the most jubilantly he had in ten years.
For ten years, Mang Yuan Base City had been the last in the national base cities; being the City Lord, he had felt so stifled! This year, finally, they were not the last but ninth!
Yun Bing, who had suddenly stood up, also widened her beautiful eyes in astonishment.
It was within her expectations that Xiao Ye and the others would be college entrance examination scholars.
But for Mang Yuan Base City’s overall college entrance examination performance to be in the top nine of all the base cities in the country was truly unexpected.
Keep in mind, Dragon Country has ten super base cities, and the top ten overall performances have historically been held by these super base cities.
The high school students from these ten super base cities were not supposed to be comparable to those from Mang Yuan Base City, yet Mang Yuan Base City made it to the ninth!
This means the performance of the lower-tier Mang Yuan Base City had surpassed one of the super base cities!
This was truly shocking.
"Dudu dudu!" The huge Communication Device hidden in Yun Bing’s chest rang; she took it out and connected: "Vajra Supreme, spit it out if you have something."
A deep male voice came from the other end: "Sister Kunpeng! You’ve stumbled upon a treasure."
"A treasure? What treasure?"
Vajra Supreme excitedly said: "The base city you’re protecting clinched the ninth, did you know? I’ll tell you why."
"To achieve ninth place with a low-tier base city, do you think that’s possible? It’s not. The ninth place in overall score was completely boosted by those two pairs of college entrance exam scholars, which pushed the average up!"
It’s like averaging the assets of an ordinary person with those of a billionaire; after averaging, that ordinary person also becomes a billionaire.
"Really?" Yun Bing found it unbelievable.
Vajra Supreme insisted confidently: "Truer than gold! The value of these two pairs of college entrance examination scholars surpasses those from hundreds of years."
After saying this, Vajra Supreme again and again advised: "Sister Kunpeng, you must pull these two pairs of scholars into our Modu Academy at all costs; even if it costs something, it’s worth it."
The seductive Sister Yun Bing frowned and said: "What can you do? If they apply to another super academy, I can’t stop them."
Vajra Supreme offered a strategy: "Start with the dual-contractual Xiao Ye. If you get him, those two pairs of scholars will be with our Modu Academy!"
Yun Bing said helplessly: "Do you need to say? Don’t you think I haven’t thought of that? The problem is how to get him!"
Vajra Supreme suggested: "Give young people what they like, we in Modu Academy Examination Department will reimburse you after the fact!"
"Or maybe you could sell your beauty a bit, seduce that Xiao Ye, hey, with your looks, you’re sure to succeed!"
Yun Bing’s beautiful eyes widened, angrily saying: "What kind of lousy ideas are these, scram!"
"Alright! But Sister Kunpeng, you must secure him, otherwise, if other top academy recruiters come, you might be in trouble!" Before hanging up, Vajra Supreme reminded her again.
Sending various things, or using beauty to lure? Yun Bing had her answer in her heart, deciding to find an opportunity to implement it.
Beside her, Nangong Siyan, seeing the City Lord laugh like a bloomed flower, also felt very happy; she saw her father’s usually furrowed brows finally relaxing.
This was even more joyful than obtaining the title of the college entrance examination scholar herself.
While Nangong Siyan was focusing her attention on the City Lord, Cheng Bingxi leaned her head towards Xiao Ye and whispered:
"Xiao Ye, hubby, now that we’ve secured the top score in the national college entrance exam, don’t you think you should reward me?"
Xiao Ye pretended to be confused: "What kind of reward?"
Cheng Bingxi furrowed her brows and cooed: "Oh, come on, you know what!"
"Which one?" Xiao Ye heard her coquettish voice and nearly lost his composure.
Cheng Bingxi blushed and said, "I’ll give you some fruit!"
Xiao Ye nearly fell over when he heard this, and quickly shook his head, "No, I won’t."
Cheng Bingxi’s cute face hardened, and she petulantly said: "No way, this is a reward, you have to eat it whether you want to or not!"
"This is what you promised during the exams!"
"Alright." Faced with Cheng Bingxi’s strong insistence, Xiao Ye reluctantly agreed with a troubled expression.
Nangong Siyan felt that Sister Bing Xi had moved away a bit, and immediately tilted her head to look over. When she saw Cheng Bingxi blushing and whispering to Xiao Ye, she suddenly got angry and lunged at them, scolding:
"Look at you two, whispering behind my back again. Tell me, have you been sneaking snacks without me?"
Cheng Bingxi blushed and didn’t speak, while Xiao Ye firmly shook his head and denied: "No, absolutely not!"
Nangong Siyan’s beautiful face was full of suspicion. I didn’t even mention what kind of sneaking, and you already knew what I was talking about? Such a firm denial.
So, the colossal Nangong Siyan doubtfully said: "Sister Bing Xi, really?"
Cheng Bingxi’s eyes darted around, and being someone who could not lie, she said somewhat guiltily: "Nope."
Knowing Cheng Bingxi’s character very well, Nangong Siyan immediately spotted the flaw and said: "Ah, Sister Bing Xi, you’re lying."
Xiao Ye inwardly panicked; ever since a certain switch had been flipped, Nangong Siyan had lost her reserve around him, becoming ferociously clingy.
This made him both happy and miserable!
But even an iron bull gets tired, Xiao Ye thought, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

Suddenly, Xiao Ye felt a burning gaze on him. He looked up, and it wasn’t Nangong Siyan or Cheng Bingxi, but the enchantingly charming Yun Bing, known as Sister Kunpeng.
Seeing the owner of that intensely hot gaze, Xiao Ye was shocked.
Yun Bing’s expression at this moment was extremely tempting!
