Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Three hours might be more than enough time for the teachers, but it was not adequate for the students.

The moment the bell rang to indicate the end of the contest, it also marked the National Quiz Contest’s end. Regardless of their ranking, these students would have no problem getting into Tsing University in the near future. It was a testimony of their growth and talent.

All of them had studied day and night for the contest and felt empty when it came to an end. Many students even cried when they came out of the exam hall.

The Principal and the Dean waved at her when Huo Yao came downstairs. She paused before walking over.

“Huo Yao, how did you find the questions?” asked the Principal. An anxious expression was visible on his face.

The Dean swallowed some saliva as he awaited Huo Yao’s response.

Huo Yao’s lips twitched when she caught sight of their nervous expressions. She replied modestly. “It was okay.”

The Principal and the Dean glanced at each other quietly before both of them asked her. “What do you mean by that?”

Huo Yao touched her nose and replied softly. “I’m not sure if I can get full marks.”

If she was merely unsure, then she still stood a high chance of getting full marks. They inhaled deeply and were flabbergasted.

It had been a mistake on their part to ask such a question to a prodigy like Huo Yao.

Shortly after Yi Lianfan came downstairs, he got called over by the Principal and the Dean as well.

The Principal cleared his throat and turned to smile kindly at Yi Lianfan. “Lianfan, how did you find the questions?”

The question remained the same.

Yi Lianfan went quiet for a couple of seconds before he raised his head and glanced at Huo Yao. “It was okay.”

Their faces turned grave instantly when they heard him saying the same thing as Huo Yao. “And?”

Could these kids not make themselves any clearer?

Were they trying to mess with the teachers?

Yi Lianfan could not help feeling startled when he detected the strange expression on their faces. “I think... I will probably come second again.”

Both the Principal and Dean were speechless yet again.

His reply resembled Huo Yao’s words yet again. Did these two gang up or something? Could they not elaborate on their replies?

Yi Lianfan had no clue about the thoughts going through their minds. Instead, he turned to look at Huo Yao. “I solved the last question using the method you showed me this morning.”

Huo Yao raised her brow and nodded. “That works too. They are similar, all you need to do is apply the knowledge.”

“Oh, in that case, I will definitely score the second highest marks.” Yi Lianfan nodded seriously.

The Principal and the Dean gave each other a look when they heard this. These bandits were definitely colluding with each other.

Yi Lianfan raised his head to check the time before asking Huo Yao. “My cousin offered to take me around Tsing University. Do you want to join us? I heard their canteen is famous for good food.”

Huo Yao wanted to turn Yi Lianfan down until she heard him talking about the food. Instead, her eyes glinted. “That’s really nice of your cousin.”
