Before descending the mountain, Zhao Rong publicly made a bet with Wu Peiliang.
The bet was on the overall scores in the grand examination, initiated by Zhao Rong himself.
If he lost, he would have to give up his position as a teaching assistant in the Calligraphy class, which allowed close proximity to a certain Zhu teacher, to Wu Peiliang. Additionally, he would have to let Wu Peiliang drink the well water of Zhengguan Well.
However, if Zhao Rong won, Wu Peiliang would have to sincerely admit his mistake, personally copy the character '正' as punishment, and also bring his own Attendant Student for Zhao Rong to see. This carried elements of humiliation, as it acknowledged the Attendant Student's superior handwriting skills compared to Wu Peiliang's.
Someone slept during the morning exam and left swiftly in the afternoon, causing most of the Shuaixing Hall students to believe the outcome of the bet was already determined.
Then, Yu Huaijin spoke up.
