Chapter 48: More and More Chaotic (2)_1
This was indeed a perfect opportunity laid out before him. For his son and daughter, for his cousins, he could finally vent his frustration.
Shangguan You, like an outsider, coldly watched Vice Director Feng’s insufferably smug face and Yang Liwen’s triumphant expressions, then shook her head. These people are truly incorrigible. Then, she turned slowly and left the meeting room.
That day, the television, internet, and newspapers were all abuzz with the scandal of cheating at City B First Middle School, as well as the hot gossip of test questions being bought and sold. As soon as the news broke, the entirety of B City boiled over. Many students preparing to enter First Middle School, along with their parents, were especially concerned about this situation. After all, this was a school that affected their children’s entire lives, so they considered it of utmost importance.
News spread that the top student from the end of the term would retake exams in front of all the school’s students and teachers just three days later. This had the whole of B City buzzing. Regardless of whether the cheating and question selling were true or false, what parents and students cared more about was the standard of the school.
Therefore, the Education Bureau set exam questions similar to the national college entrance exam. The whole country acted as witnesses. Consequently, people’s attitudes towards Shangguan You varied: some felt sympathy, others scorn, and many were simply waiting to see what would happen. The questions raised by the students and teachers of her own school garnered high attention from everyone.
Shangguan You had originally planned to return to Beijing five days later. Instead, she went back to the villa and shut herself in the Space, where Spiritual Energy was abundant and time passed much faster than outside; a day inside was equivalent to just a few short hours in the external world. This greatly increased her review time. Thanks to the Space, she felt refreshed and clear-headed, her senses keen and her memory improved. Everything she reviewed was deeply engraved in her mind.
It was as if a book were firmly etched into her memory.
After circulating the Medicine King Canon once within her body, she opened her eyes, a dazzling light flashing from within them. She stood up from the Purple Lotus, stretched lazily, and threw the book in her hand out of the Space. After taking a wonderful bath, she flew out the window and disappeared into the dark night.
