Shi Dehong saw that Fang Yun did not dare to answer, and became even happier. He said to Tong Li, "Tong Li, how is your talent in classical studies?"
Tong Li was clearly very happy, but still pretended to be indifferent and said, "My talent is far inferior to Fang Yun's. However, I have a deep understanding of 'rituals' in my studies, and my talent in classical studies is one foot and six inches."
Fang Yun looked at Tong Li in astonishment. He knew that Tong Li had good talent, but his level of classical studies was only barely at the county level before. But now, he actually had a talent of one foot and six inches, which meant that he had made great progress in addition to being very lucky.
Shi Dehong immediately laughed and said, "Tong Li, you are amazing! Jing Kingdom is truly a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. When I was an accomplished scholar, my talent in classical studies was only one foot and four inches! How about your talent in impromptu speeches and poetry?"
