The intermediate assessment for the category of calligraphy and painting had ended.
The person in charge delivered the collected forms to the panel of judges.
The judges began to check their answers against the submissions and scored them accordingly.
When it came to Zhong Pan'er's paper, a judge from Group A couldn't help but exclaim, "Not bad at all; finally, a correct answer—quite rare."
After Group B's judge took the paper, they were also surprised, "Group B's answer is also correct. Truly worthy of being Mr. Yao's top disciple; indeed extraordinary."
The paper was passed along, and surprisingly, all the answers were correct.
The judges became increasingly amazed.
They had all heard that this Zhong Pan'er had been studying under Yao Guhuai for less than three years.
Her passing the preliminary assessment for all categories was already beyond everyone's expectations.
Now, to think she performed this impressively in the intermediate assessment as well.
