It seems that for Xiao Huai, this was just a trivial matter that he was used to.
"Impatient for quick success? You don't seem to have a very good opinion of this person!" Wan Qiqi pressed.
"What's so good or bad about it? Isn't it all the same?" Xiao Huai sneered. "Who wouldn't want to rise to prominence on this path?"
At this point, a fleeting sadness crossed Xiao Huai's eyes, barely noticeable.
Wan Qiqi happened to see this.
She guessed that Xiao Huai must also have a past in the capital.

In her memory, the poet expressed his revenge and regret in his poems.
This leads people to mistakenly believe that passing the imperial examinations is truly for the purpose of building the nation and not for personal fame and fortune.
After listening to Wan Qiqi's words, Xiao Huai stopped talking and began to savor the food in his hand.
Since he's already being manipulated, he'd really be at a loss if he didn't take his revenge!
