Ling Chen, Genius?

Soon, all results of the cultivation test were read out and Ling Xiao was happy with the results. They had over 15 youths in the latter part of Spirit Gathering Realm Stage and surprisingly, Ling kai had even achieved Spirit Warrior Stage. But in his heart, Ling Xiao was sneering. He very well knew that Ling Kun wanted the position of Patriarch and that he had possibly invested everything into making Ling Kai the main attraction today.

Since his own grandson Ling Chen had no talent in cultivation, there would soon be a move from Ling Kun in the future. But Ling Xiao was not worried at all. To be precise, he had ben worried about it till the previous night until Ling Xue brought him a bundle of papers. After reading through them, he was utterly shocked.

What she brought to him was Ling Chen's business plan for the coming year and what all he intended to do. Just one look and even an non-business person like him understood the immense value of Ling Chen. Hence he was no longer worried for Ling Chen.

He was brought back to reality when the Fifth Elder cleared his throat and said "Now I shall announce the results of the Scholar assessment."

"Ling Mei, 70 points"

"Ling Mu, 92 points"

The crowd went into an uproar as they heard the news. Scoring a 92 meant that he had essentially won the business quota of the Ling Family. Many people came forward to congratulate him. Ling Mu put on a smile and said "Haha it was just luck."

Ling Kai then haughtily looked over at Ling Chen to see his stunned expression...only to be disappointed. Ling Chen was yawning and acted as if he did not care what had happened.

Ling Kai became angry and shouted "Ling Chen, why are you still sitting and not congratulate Brother Mu for winning? Just because you lost doesn't mean that you have to hold a grudge."

Ling Mu also joined in and said "Yes, yes Brother Chen, although I won the slot I'll help you get a position in the family business in the future."

Ling Chen was still not bothered and casually replied "Why are you barking so loud and acting as if he has won? My results haven't been announced yet."

"Hahaha you think you can score higher than Brother Mu? If it really happens I'll kowtow and slap myself." Ling Kai mocked. But to his surprise, Ling Chen just replied "Just don't go breaking your promises later."

Ling Kai was now thoroughly enraged. He had lost face two times because of Ling Chen. He looked at the Fifth Elder and said "Fifth Elder, just announce the results. Let's see how he a trash like him can be still arrogant."

But as soon as he said that, he felt as if something was wrong. The people around were giving him weird looks and some started whispering. He suddenly realized that he had been too loud. He didn't think much of it, and just looked forward to the results.

The Fifth Elder waited for a moment for everyone to quiet down and continued his announcement

"Ling Chen, 100 points. I have to say, his answers were even better than I hoped and even there were some enlightening ones. He is a true genius!"

Hearing his words, the entire hall fell silent.
