The content behind the equal sign, just the same as in Shen Zhe’s notebook inside his head, was reflected in reality and could only be seen by Shen Zhe. Wang Qing thought that Shen Zhe was reading his answer from the paper. Little did he expect to see utter nonsense.

If he knew the precise answer, why didn’t he write it on the paper?

“Is he trying to keep a low profile, like how he helped Zhao Chen to build up his body?”

Wang Qing was greatly astonished.

Nobody would’ve believed that Shen Zhe could refine body-polishing herb liquid, helping a low-grade student reach stage six overnight, if the patriarch of the Zhao family hadn’t gone there in person.

It seemed that his friend was not as terrible at studies as he thought.

His friend was possibly a super genius who didn’t like unnecessary attention!

There were many such examples in history.

Xiao Jie, the founding father of the Abyssal Ocean Kingdom, had terrible grades and only illuminated four stars by the last semester.

Under normal circumstances, he couldn’t pass the trial and graduate. However, he illuminated three stars after one night and established a prosperous country.

Because of his example, students who illuminated only two or three stars in school were never kicked out.

Was it possible that his friend had such talent, too?

Wang Qing had complicated feelings as he began to see his friend in a different way.

…

“Shen Zhe, let’s head to my office. Ling Xueru, explain the rest of the questions to the class…”

Holding back the mess in her heart, Bai Yu gave instructions and walked to her office.

Shen Zhe could only follow her.

Being summoned to offices for two days in a row… It was truly great pressure for him!

Young but famous, Bai Yu had an independent office in the school. She laid down the crystal recorder after she entered the office and stared at the young man without saying anything.

“Let’s talk! I would like to hear your explanation…”

Shen Zhe saw four hours, forty-four minutes, forty-four seconds and forty-four milliseconds on the recorder!

“This is…”

“I examined your answer the other day, and this is the result. They are too identical… Shen Zhe, the worst student in my class and last place in the last semester… Don’t you think you owe me an explanation? How did you figure out a question that I couldn’t answer?”

Bai Yu simply asked what had been bothering her.

“The answer… has been proved?”

Shen Zhe was stiffened.

He was certain that it was a random answer!

He had checked the map of Mount Thorn, searched the routes and decided that it was impossible for the teacher to return in four hours. So, he had been worrying that he would be punished.

Little did he anticipate that his answer would be proven!

Was it possible that the notebook in his head could change both the guidance book and reality?

That would be fantastic!

It would mean that he could modify laws and rules!

“That’s right. The question in the class was part of my trip. I was hunted by the wolf king and ran to the mountaintop, where I accidentally found a crack leading to the bottom of the mountain. The time for my return is exactly the same as your answer…”

Bai Yu said with glittering eyes, “Don’t tell me that you got the answer correctly but you didn’t know anything about the crack!”

“I…”

Shen Zhe was stunned.

He was truly unaware of it before…

However, Bai Yu apparently wouldn’t believe him if he said so.

“Also, Mr. Zhao Fan claimed that you could refine herb liquid this morning. What’s that about?” Bai Yu asked again.

Shen Zhe didn’t know how to respond.

“Everybody has their secrets. I won’t force you to say anything if you don’t want to!”

Seeing his hesitation, Bai Yu stopped pursuing.

Every cultivator seemed transparent, but they all had their own secrets.

For example, the data of her speed and techniques were universally known for the students to answer questions, but she actually had secret methods that could significantly boost her speed and strength.

She barely resorted to such methods because they would reduce her longevity.

Other people had their trump cards, too, or they would’ve died a long time ago.

This student had been unattractive but was suddenly shining in recent days. He must have his secrets that he would rather not talk about.

“Thank you, madam…”

Greatly relieved, Shen Zhe bowed.
