Huo Yao refused to accept her score. Her eyes turned dim as she furrowed her brows hard and said, “I got all the questions right. There were absolutely no mistakes. How could I get a 10 mark deduction?”

A complicated look crept up on Meng Ying’s face when she heard Huo Yao. Sure enough, she had no clue how a genius’s mind worked!

Since Meng Ying was incapable of answering Huo Yao’s doubts. She hung her head and went back to the National Quiz Contest official web page to look at the national ranking.

Meng Ying took a deep breath to calm her nerves before she tapped on it. The national ranking page swiftly loaded.

st – 250 marks – Huo Yao.

nd – 195 marks – Yi Lianfan.

rd – 193 marks – Chen Jie.

...

Meng Ying did not continue going through the ranking list. She stared fixedly at Huo Yao’s name, which was ranked first. Despite knowing Huo Yao would do brilliantly, she was still stunned.

Meng Ying raised her head and placed the phone in front of Huo Yao and said, “Sister Big Shot, stop thinking about those 10 points. You already came in first.”

Huo Yao glanced at the list and continued sternly. “It’s not about the ranking.”

It was a matter of casting doubt on her capabilities.

Meng Ying’s lips twitched and she asked. “Why don’t you find out what happened?”

Huo Yao felt Meng Ying’s suggestion made sense. She stood up and said, “Yup. I can’t disregard the inexplicable point deduction just because I came in first.”

It was a matter of pride!

Meng Ying, “PFFT...”

No no no, Sister Big Shot, I just said it randomly. Do not treat it seriously!

As Huo Yao left the classroom, Meng Ying covered her face. Fine, she inexplicably found Sister Big Shot cool!

Lu Xia was about to check her contest results on the phone when she heard someone speak up.

“Xiaxia, do you know what your foster sister’s score is?” asked Chang Yingying as she held her phone.

There was a blatant look of shock on her face.

Since Huo Yao had come first during the preliminary test, Chang Yingying paid attention to her score this time as well. She did not even check Lu Xia’s score and went straight to the ranking list.

After she saw the results, she hurried over to find Lu Xia.

Lu Xia’s hand froze as she held her phone. Yet her expression appeared normal. “Oh? What’s her score?”

“It’s unbelievable, I tell you. She scored 200 marks!”

Chang Yingying did not know how to describe her mood when she saw the result. She cringed when she recalled how she had suspected Huo Yao of cheating earlier.

There was room for suspicion when Huo Yao scored full marks that one time. But to say that she got these marks from cheating again was as good as raising doubt on the integrity of the contest itself.

After all, the quiz was not held at the school. The city’s Education Center had hosted and invigilated it.

When Lu Xia heard Huo Yao’s score, her mind went blank. It felt as though something snapped in her, and she could no longer keep her composure. Her face had turned pale.

200 marks... How could she score 200 marks?!

Something must be wrong. It was inconceivable!

Lu Xia’s mind was in complete chaos. She wanted to clear her mind and ponder on it calmly, but she couldn’t do it.

“Xiaxia, are you okay?” asked Chang Yingying when she noticed Lu Xia’s face.

She looked so pitiful in that moment that Chang Yingying slapped her mouth in remorse.

How could Chang Yingying have brought up Huo Yao in front of Lu Xia and upset her?

Chang Yingying smiled sheepishly and quickly clicked on her phone. She said, “Hey, why talk about her? Let me check your score first.”
