Chapter 81: Collective Cheating
“Master Wu, we’ve known each other for so many years—you must help me this time! What’s the answer to the third question? Just give me a little hint!”
“Don’t even mention it! My sect’s four elders and I studied it together all night and couldn’t even solve the second question. Why don’t you tell me the answer to that one first?”
“Sigh, that Fellow Daoist Yun—no, I mean Instructor Yun—her exam questions are just too difficult. I even used a recording talisman to capture her entire lecture and listened to it more than ten times, and I still can’t solve the problem.”
“Huh? You’re Elder Kui from the Shadow Mountain Sect, right? Aren’t you a specialist in formations? Even you couldn’t figure it out?”
“These questions are too profound. I’ve searched through every ancient text I could find, and not one of them helps. They’re so hard I’m beginning to doubt whether there even are correct answers!”
“Hall Master Xu, are you there? How are you doing? Your Tianshi Hall is full of experts, and you’ve sent dozens of people to attend this class. With that many brains, how many of the ten questions have you solved?”
“Shameful to admit… only three. I can’t make sense of the rest at all!”
“You solved three! Hall Master Xu, why not share your answers so the rest of us can study them too?”
“Yes, yes! I’ve only done two. Every extra answer helps!”
