Chapter 199: The Last Time

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Shiyan only saw a flash of white light at her fingertip, and then the Yin-Yang Grass obediently settled down, winding itself around her slender finger.

Was it tamed just like that?

“While this grass is poisonous, it’s also a rare medicinal herb. It belongs to me now,” Lu Miao said without any hesitation.

If she were to auction it off at the underground auction, she could easily fetch at least five million.

She couldn’t miss out on this stroke of unexpected luck.

As she turned to go upstairs, she took a couple of steps and then turned back to him. “Are you sure there’s only this one? No other objects?”

After all, this was money, and it would be a waste if Gu Shiyan unknowingly discarded anything valuable.

Gu Shiyan: …

How could he still see a hint of excitement and wanting more in her eyes!

His little friend’s hobbies seemed a bit peculiar!

Pausing for a moment, he replied, “They seemed to have placed something in the tablets before.”

“What kind of thing?” Lu Miao asked earnestly, looking at him.

Gu Shiyan gave her a meaningful look. “By the time I discovered it, someone had already taken and disposed of it. Who do you think in the Gu family would have the ability to do that?”

Lu Miao shook her head, her face expressionless. “I don’t know.”

Then she sincerely offered her suggestion, “You have many relatives. You can install surveillance around the ancestral hall, with 360-degree coverage, to prevent any further tampering. Also, get some rest early. Staying up late can cause balding.”

Balding?

Gu Shiyan instinctively raised his hand to touch his hair. Did he have any signs of balding?

He quickly went upstairs to his room.

The midterm exam results were out, and the test questions were explosively difficult this time.

The highest score in the city was 689, and unsurprisingly, it was Lu Miao.

As for their class, which had previously ranked near the bottom in the third year, their average score had unexpectedly risen by 18 points, making them the second-highest after the experimental class.

Everyone in the class was ecstatic, clamoring for a celebratory dinner.

In the principal’s office, the atmosphere was completely different.

The Chinese teacher stared fixedly at Lu Miao’s score sheet, feeling dizzy and almost passing out.

The math teacher patted her on the shoulder, comforting her. “It’s okay, it’s okay. You didn’t write the Chinese essay, but you got all the other questions right.”

The physics and chemistry teachers chimed in, “Yes, you can just ignore the essay question. Lu Miao is still excellent in other subjects.”

The Chinese teacher glared at them angrily. “Are you all blind? Lu Miao scored full marks in math, physics, and chemistry! What if she hadn’t answered the last big question in your subjects?”

The math teacher touched his nose. “That’s impossible. I have a good relationship with Lu Miao, she wouldn’t do that to me.” The physics teacher nodded. “That’s right, we get along well too.” “Me too,” the chemistry teacher quickly added.

“Are you saying that I mistreat Lu Miao?” The Chinese teacher exploded instantly.

The test questions this time were so difficult that, except for Chinese and

English, there was only one student in the whole city who scored full marks in

each subject—Lu Miao!

She only deducted one point in English.

Zhenhai High School and those other teachers were taking all the credit!

Except for Chinese, Lu Miao scored 90 in each subject, barely passing the threshold. She didn’t write a single word for the essay, which was worth 60 points!

Ten minutes later, Lu Miao was summoned to the office.

The Chinese teacher gazed at her pensively. “Lu Miao, is there anything I have done to you that you find unfair, or any reason why you might be dissatisfied with me?”

“No,” Lu Miao replied, perplexed, as she cast a quick glance at the other teachers in the office.

They all wore smiles, except for the Chinese teacher, whose expression betrayed deep resentment.

“In that case, why did you score perfectly in all the other subjects but neglect to write the Chinese essay?” the Chinese teacher asked, filled with sorrow and frustration.

“Oh, that. The essay had too many words, and my hand was hurting,” Lu Miao responded matter-of-factly.

The Chinese teacher’s vision momentarily darkened, and she instinctively covered her head, almost fainting.

“You… You mean to say you didn’t write the essay for that reason?”

Lu Miao nodded casually. “Yeah, I mean, I already got first place, right?”

She had calculated during the exam that even without writing the essay, she would still secure the first place considering the difficulty level of the questions. That’s why she didn’t bother writing it.

The Chinese teacher was even more exasperated!

After taking a deep breath, the Chinese teacher advised her with earnestness, “Lu Miao, you mustn’t be so partial. You managed to complete all the other subjects, so why did you neglect the eight hundred words for the essay? Is Chinese literature the neglected child in your heart? Are you too biased towards math, physics, and chemistry?”

Observing the gleeful expressions of the nearby teachers, Lu Miao snorted. “If your hand hurts next time, you can skip a few math, physics, or chemistry questions to even things out.”

“Hey, what do you mean? Why should we skip math questions?”

“We can’t skip physics!”

The teachers in the office immediately erupted into a heated argument. Lu Miao: .

Why did she feel like she was unwittingly caught up in a competition for favor, reminiscent of concubines vying for attention in the palace?

Her lips twitched in resignation. “Fine, from now on, I’ll try to complete everything.”

She had merely wanted to take a shortcut.

Finally satisfied that the argument had ceased, the teachers dispersed. The principal requested Lu Miao to stay behind.

Covering his mouth, he cleared his throat awkwardly. “Lu Miao, here’s the situation. Next week, there’s a national knowledge competition, and after considering the overall performance in your subjects, the teachers and I believe that your scores are the most balanced, making you the best representative for our school.”

Lu Miao was at a loss for words. “Principal Xu, isn’t it a bit excessive to heavily rely on one student?”

“Lu Miao, last year we lost to Fengcheng No. 1 High School in that competition. We didn’t secure first place.

If we lose again this year, how can I face others with this old face of mine?

Even if it’s not for my sake, we should consider the honor of our school. Do you want to see other schools mocking Zhenhai High School?”

He appeared pitiful, as if Zhenhai High School would be immediately crushed and left unable to recover if she didn’t participate. Lu Miao raised her hand to press against her temples. “This is the last time!”

“Alright,” Principal Xu’s face instantly lit up with a smile.

With Lu Miao on board, first place was guaranteed for them.

Let’s see if that old man from Fengcheng No. 1 High School dared to boast in his presence!

In the afternoon after school, Lu Miao brought the Yin-Yang Grass and headed straight for the underground auction house.

The more renowned auction houses primarily dealt with jewelry, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, while the underground auction house specialized in a myriad of rare and extraordinary treasures. Anything you could imagine was within reach.

Even if the auction house didn’t currently possess what you desired, as long as you had the money, they would procure it for you.

The car came to a halt in front of an inconspicuous convenience store on the street corner.

Contrary to the unassuming appearance of the store, the parking spaces lining the nearby streets were filled with an array of luxury cars.

Lu Miao stepped out of the car and confidently entered the convenience store..
