Chapter 71: Chapter 71 She Has Already Reduced Her Strength by Ninety Percent

Editor: Inschain

“Are you done?”

Wu Xianfeng put down his pen, “All set.”

A total of 11 questions.

The classmates looked at the problems, their interest fully piqued, and they also picked up their pens to start solving.

Wu Xianfeng adjusted his glasses, thinking what a group of good students, so eager to learn.

Lu Xue was dazzled, “What is this? I can’t understand at all.”

Jiang Huai asked Lu Ting, “Tingting, can you solve it?”

Lu Ting picked up her pen and did some calculations on scratch paper, “Some questions are very simple, but the last few are quite difficult, especially question 11, I have no idea what it means.”

If she, a top ten student in the grade, couldn’t do it, Qiao Yun was even less likely to know how.

Qiao Yun walked up to the podium.

With a pen in hand, she glanced through the questions and, almost without thinking, quickly wrote down the answers.

Her speed was so fast that Wu Xianfeng first froze, then doubted, and then his expression turned grave…

In the end, he started to question his own intelligence, wondering if he really was qualified to be a teacher???

Five minutes later, Qiao Yun put down her pen.

The classroom fell silent.

The students were somewhat dumbfounded. Was she scribbling nonsense again?

“Don’t you want to double-check?” Wu Xianfeng asked her.

Qiao Yun shook her head, serious in tone, “The questions are so simple, everyone knows them, no need to check again.”

The classmates: “…”

Who is she insulting?

Qiao Yun intentionally extended her answer time by four minutes.

She just wanted to be an ordinary person. To prevent herself from standing out, she had already cut her true capability by ninety percent. This way, she should appear like everyone else.

Wu Xianfeng looked at Qiao Yun’s answers with a complex expression, feeling as if he had an epiphany, a sense of clarity and enlightenment that elevated his understanding of life significantly.

He eagerly asked Qiao Yun, “The last question, how did you solve it?”

“Quite a simple problem,” Qiao Yun didn’t think there was anything wrong with what she said. How could she not understand the problem she set?

Wu Xianfeng: “…” I need some quiet.

Had he encountered a genius girl? What a wonder of the human world!!

A genius from heaven?

After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and told the class, “The answer is completely correct. We can now prove that Qiao Yun did not cheat.”

The classroom fell silent, without a hint of noise.

A few seconds later, everyone unanimously turned to look at Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai’s eyes were filled with astonishment, his fists clenched, staring at Qiao Yun in disbelief as if trying to bore a hole through her.

Qiao Yun looked back at Jiang Huai with a gentle tone and indifferent voice, “I told you it was very simple.”

Whack! Jiang Huai felt like he’d been slapped hard in the face.

He dared to voice doubts about Qiao Yun cheating because she’d gotten in through the back door. If she could score so well, there must be a trick.

But now, seeing Qiao Yun solving the questions with ease, while he couldn’t understand a thing, did she even need a shortcut?

Lu Ting was completely stunned, her face drained of color.

How could this be.

Qiao Yun didn’t cheat?

She truly earned first place on her own merit!

How could she be better than me!

Wu Xianfeng believed now that Qiao Yun really had never attended school; no rural school could have taught her.

“Now that the truth is clear, Jiang Huai, I think you owe Qiao Yun an apology,” he said.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire class, after a long while, Jiang Huai managed to squeeze out a few words, “I’m sorry.”

He didn’t dare to look back at Lu Ting or gauge his classmates’ reactions—he had never been so embarrassed in his life.

He was seething inside. If you’re so capable, why take a shortcut? If you hadn’t, I wouldn’t have misunderstood.

He truly detested Qiao Yun now!
