But Shao Yunduan had indeed become the Primus!
The news hit Qiao Hongxi especially hard, and his heart ached upon hearing it.
He, an Advanced Scholar, couldn't help but feel humiliated by the fact that Shao Yunduan had achieved the prestigious position of Primus. It stung even more when he thought about how Shao Yunduan would soon be working at Hanlin Academy, and how their paths would cross in the future.
However, within a mere half day, news of Shao Yunduan's accomplishment spread throughout the capital. He was being touted as the recommended man of the Tian Family!
In that moment, Qiao Hongxi couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. The thought of Shao Yunduan's success and the attention he had garnered from the Tian Family made him envious.
But a mischievous smile crept onto Qiao Hongxi's face as he considered Qiao Xuan's situation.
It seemed like a fitting retribution.
