Chapter Twenty-Three: The End of the Graduation Exam

  Chen Ziyu looked at Zhang Zihans gentle breathing, and the big stone in her heart finally put down. She felt his pulse, and sensed that his pulse was calm, just like a normal warrior. Her doubts arose suddenly.

  This is impossible, what's going on? Zhang Zihuan was clearly on the brink of death, but now he's completely recovered. This defies all logic. Was it Zhang Wenfeng who healed him? No way, although he has the ability, he himself was just trying to save a hopeless case by sending Zhang Zihuan here. From what she's seen, apart from the healing medicine Qingling Dan, there's no way Zhang Zihuan could have recovered, and even if he had Qingling Dan, he couldn't have recovered so quickly. So there's only one explanation: Zhang Zihuan was healed by someone when he left. At that time, there was only one person by his side.

  At the thought of this, Chen Ziyu couldn't help but widen her cherry lips in surprise. Although she didn't want to believe it, everything pointed to Guo Ming, and when she rushed back, Guo Ming had disappeared without a trace, which explained some things.

  Could it be that he is also a hidden young master or a high-ranking expert in the pugilistic world.

  Chen Ziyu thought carefully about the scene just now, and the more she thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. She was flustered at the time, but Guo Ming was calm and collected, and instead of telling her to go find a doctor, he told her to go find an elder from their family. All these signs indicated that there was something wrong with Guo Ming.

  As she thought of this, Chen Ziyu's mouth curled up into a captivating smile, and Guo Ming's ordinary appearance became even more prominent in her heart. Once a woman becomes interested in a man, either the man will be unlucky or his good fortune has arrived.

  It's almost June now and more and more people are coming to the cold drink shop.

  Guo Ming finished his classes early and left school after helping Zhang Zihuan. He wandered along the main street, stopped in front of a cold drink shop, found a seat by the window, ordered a cold drink, and quietly looked out the window. For him, this was something he had to do every day, as he needed to gain insight into the world's various phenomena. Only then could his mental state improve faster, and his magical powers advance more quickly.

  Tang Feng was really excited this time, as the test paper was made by a top teacher from No. 1 Middle School, not only were there many questions, but they were also extremely difficult. Looking at his classmates' dejected faces, he felt particularly pleased with himself. He had written a lot this time and Tang Feng could feel it. Humph, this time I will definitely make Guo Ming lose face, he looked around but didn't see Guo Ming's shadow, haha, must be because he did too badly to dare show up. That's what Tang Feng thought.

  Classmates returned to the classroom in twos and threes, waiting for the arrival of the head teacher, because this time was the graduation exam, and the teacher had some important things to announce.

  The students all understand the importance of this exam, which involves the qualification for being a recommended student. Of course, most of them know that such an honor is not something they can attain. What they are more concerned about is who will be the recommended student?

  Shui Mengyao sat quietly beside Guo Ming's seat, her face calm as water, as if she hadn't just gone through an exam at all. Her classmates could tell from Shui Mengyao's face that she had done absolutely fine on this test, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm and collected. But how would they know that in her heart, she was already on the verge of exploding?

  "Guo Ming, you bastard, where have you gone to die?" Water Dream Jade cursed in her heart. As soon as the test papers were handed out, she knew something was wrong. If it were easy, Guo Ming might still have a chance to surpass Tang Feng, but this time's test paper was too difficult. Tang Feng wouldn't make small mistakes unless he didn't know the answer, and for Guo Ming, that would be fatal. Without accumulation of time, don't even think about taking a shortcut to success. Water Dream Jade thought of bringing Guo Ming and Tang Feng together to reconcile, despite not wanting to see Tang Feng again herself, but she didn't want Guo Ming to lose face, so she had to go against her heart to meet the other party.

  Now the host is not present, this matter itself does not ask for the host's opinion and itself rashly goes to say, isn't it finding trouble for oneself?

  As the students gasped in surprise, Teacher Li walked up to the podium with a smile, gesturing for everyone to be quiet. After the commotion died down, he glanced at the corner and saw only Shui Mengyao, but no Guo Ming. He couldn't help but smile slightly. This time's comprehensive exam was being proctored by him, and coincidentally, he was also proctoring Guo Ming's exam. The total duration of the exam was two and a half hours, but Guo Ming had submitted his paper in just one and a half hours, stunning everyone present.

  He was also shocked at the time, and hastily looked through it one by one. In the end, his face was completely replaced with shock. He didn't think that in his lifetime, he could really see a genius. Before, Guo Ming's ability to get from 50+ people to 15th place in over 20 days might only show how clever and quick-witted he is. But now, he has created another miracle. Having taught for 20 years, this exam paper was one that he had participated in reviewing, so the answers were naturally etched in his mind. His final comprehensive score was 145 - what a concept! In this subject, no one in the class except Shui Mengyao could rival him.

  Of course, one achievement can't explain everything, but will Guo Ming's other achievements be poor? He doesn't know now, but he understands that they absolutely won't be low. Haha, this kid! When Teacher Li thinks about the shock caused by the announcement of the little rascal's grades in the past, his heart becomes exceptionally expectant.

  "I suppose everyone has a sense of how many points they scored? This time, we have a two-day holiday, and tomorrow night, everyone will come to the evening self-study session. At that time, I will announce the results, as well as the number of students who will be exempt from the entrance examination, which is what you are all most concerned about. Hehe, I see that you all look tired too. These two days, go back and rest well, and then we'll continue to work hard for another month, welcoming the final middle school entrance examination. Class dismissed!"

  "Yeah! The whole class erupted in cheers. For students who are about to take the mid-term exam, there's nothing better than a holiday. Teacher Li timely withdrew himself, knowing that this was not an occasion for him to participate."

  "Everyone says, where shall we go tomorrow? Class monitor Zhang Kai stood up and said loudly."

  "Let's go eat barbecue on the ancient Yellow River road!" a classmate responded loudly.

  "It's better than going mountain climbing," a freckled girl retorted immediately.

  "What's wrong with us? We're no better than adventurers. Why don't we just go into the primeval forest?" Tang Feng said loudly.

  Shui Mengyao's face changed, and she hastily stood up, saying in a urgent tone: "You can't go there."

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo's voice was like a huge stone thrown into the calm water, and all the students in the class turned to look at Shuǐ Mèng Yáo, they were surprised, puzzled, no one had expected that Shuǐ Mèng Yáo would publicly express her own opinion.

  "Why? Tang Feng felt somewhat displeased in his heart, and he hadn't expected Shui Mengyao to openly oppose his opinion."

  Because, because, Shui Mengyao was in a hurry, fortunately she stopped the words in her mouth in time. She couldn't say that she had encountered a ghost, could she? Heaven knows what they would laugh at her for. Looking at everyone staring at her intently, Shui Mengyao took a deep breath and said softly: "I went there with Guo Ming last time, we unexpectedly found bloodstains there, and later heard that a murder case had occurred there. It's said that the murderer hasn't been caught yet?"

  Classmates didn't pay attention to the murder case because they thought it was too far away from them. What they were concerned about was that Shui Mengyao had actually gone to the primeval forest with Guo Ming, and that place was airtight, making it easier for something beyond friendship to happen. Their rich memories quickly linked up, and various different versions quickly emerged in their minds.
