<h4>Chapter 83: Conversation with Old Master Nian</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios<strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios
The next day was Saturday. Nian Yue woke up early. The district she lived in was an upscale district in Jiang City. There was a gym and she did not go anywhere that was crowded.
She wasing back from her run when she saw a middle-aged man standing outside her building.
The man looked to be in his thirties, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed sses.
“Hello, Miss Nian Yue. I am Old Master Nian’s personal assistant.” Assistant Zhang walked over to greet her.
“What’s the matter?” Nian Yue had one hand in her pocket.
“Old Master wants to see you,” Assistant Zhang said respectfully.
He had been with Old Master Nian for more than ten years and this was not the first time he had seen Nian Yue.
Thest time he saw Nian Yue was two months ago. He had gone to the countryside with Nian Chaoyu to fetch Nian Yue back.
At that time, the youngdy was wearing faded jeans and her sneakers were muddy. When she saw them, her face was cold.
It had only been two months, but the little girl’s aura was getting colder. He felt an inexplicable pressure when he stood in front of her.
“Let’s go.”
Nian Yue turned around and followed him.
Assistant Zhang drove an ordinary car. Nian Yue sat in the back seat, holding her phone. She had earphones in her other ear and looked a little sleepy.
Assistant Zhang looked at her a few more times from the rearview mirror and realized that this youngdy was terrifyingly calm from the start to the end.
The car stopped in front of a sanatorium. Old Master Nian was ying chess with a group of old people in the sanatorium. When he saw Nian Yue, he got up.
“Yue Yue, it’s been a while.”
He greeted Nian Yue with a smile.
Nian Yue only smirked when she heard that. Her expression was not warm.
Old Master Nian seemed to have expected her expression and was not too angry. He went upstairs with Assistant Zhang’s help.
‘When the two of them returned to their room, Assistant Zhang poured a cup of tea for them and left, closing the door behind him.
“Yue Yue, this isn’t the first time you’ve seen me. Is there anything you want to ask me?” Old Master Nian asked with a smile.
“Li Shu’s death is rted to something else. You actually know about it.” Nian Yue went straight to the point.
There was no need for her to stumble in her conversation with Old Master Nian.
Old Master Nian knew some things better than she did.
Old Master Nian took a sip of tea and was a little shocked that Nian Yue was able to guess that there was something behind Li Shu’s death.
Over the past few days, someone had been secretly investigating Li Shu’s incident. However, the method of investigation was extremely strange, and he could not figure out who it was.
‘When he heard Nian Yue’s words, he had a rough guess.
“Have you been investigating the matter?” Old Master Nian asked.
“Yes.” Nian Yue nodded. “I have the right to know what happened back then. I can’t let the person who hurt Li Shu live freely.”
From what that man said, if he had not sent her to the countryside back then, she might not have lived until now.
“Your mother’s death was indeed not an ident.” Old Master Nian sighed, his turbid eyes filled with depth. “I had my suspicions back then and had been sending people to investigate, but could not find anything.”
“So it was left unsettled?” Nian Yue raised her eyebrows.
One was a woman from the countryside without any background, and the other was Nian Chaoyu’s current wife.
Old Master Nian would subconsciously side with Wang Meihua. Even though he knew that Wang Meihua could be the murderer.
Old Master Nian felt a huge pressure from that pair of sharp eyes. She was clearly a youngdy who was not even 18 years old yet, but her aura was terrifyingly cold when she looked at people.
“Ican leave the Nian family alone.” The corners of the cold girl’s lips curled up slightly, but her words were filled with force. “But I won’t let Wang Meihua stay in the Nian Family for long.”
Nian Yue left after saying this.
When Old Master Nian heard her words, he sighed heavily.
Ever since he had the intention to bring Nian Yue back from the countryside, he knew that the situation in the Nian Family would be broken sooner orter.
It was clear that Nian Yue was not an ordinary girl.
Assistant Zhang walked over from the side. “Old Master, I found this in the car just now.”
Assistant Zhang was holding a stone that looked like an egg. The stone was glowing. Under the sun, there was a faintyer of blue light.
Old Master Nian received it and sighed heavily. “This thing has ended up in her hands afterall.”
“Then… should we return it to Second Mistress now?” Assistant Zhang asked with uncertainty.
“Keep it. You’ll get a chance to give it to her.”
Nian Yue had a cautious personality, so the possibility of this thing being identally dropped was not high.
Leaving this here was only a warning to him.
However, it looked like the Nian Family was going to undergo a huge change.
*
The monthly examination was already a routine for students from Year One to Year Three No.1 Middle School.
After azy month, it was finally time for the second monthly examination.
In the first monthly examination, Nian Yue made it to the top 100 as a dark horse. In this examination, almost all the Year Three teachers were watching her.
In the third-year teacher’s office, a group of teachers were chatting.
“Will taking the test papers from the Imperial Capital affect these children’s confidence?” a teacher asked worriedly.
After all, it was only the second monthly examination of the third year of high school. There was still a round of revision to be done, yet this group of students had to do the college entrance examination papers.
Once this exam was over, the group of students would probably be dealt a huge blow.
After all, the students from Imperial Capital had a different starting line. When their papers were used these students from No. 1 Middle School, they would be tortured until they doubted their lives.
Even some teachers might not be able to solve these questions.
“It’s precisely because they’re toockadaisical that this group of children think that the college entrance examination is a very simple matter.” The Year Head was arranging the examination hall when he heard the conversation. “It’ll be a good opportunity for them to do the papers from the Imperial
Capital. Let them know the difference and they’ll learn to revise properly.”
However, the papers at Imperial Capital were infamous for being difficult.
“Do you want to change the physics paper? This physics paper seems to have been used in the Imperial Capital for the physicspetition…” the physics teacher asked.
There were a lot of physics questions in Grade 12. If the question setter were to make things difficult for the students, thetter hand in nk papers.
Therefore, even Imperial Capital No.1 Middle School would deliberately change their physics papers in order to not hurt the students’ pride.
But this time, he did not even change his physics paper?
“No need.” The Year Head shook his head. “In any case, there won’t be just one person who doesn’t do well. I want to see the true standards of those children.”
If they could not withstand the blow of a set of physics papers, they would not be able tost in the Imperial University.
The exam had not started and the students in the ss were in a mess. This group of second-generation heirs had never taken the exam seriously.
“Hey, have you guys heard? This time, Old Yang seems to have gotten the test papers from Imperial Capital No.1 Middle School. He said that he wants to test our standards…” Some students in the ss were discussing fervently.
“No way! Who doesn’t know that their physics papers are ridiculously difficult?” a ssmate wailed.
Duan Yu walked to the podium with the test papers. She was full of smiles as she ruthlessly interrupted the students’ fantasy. “This time, the physical test papers will not be changed. They will be using the test papers from Imperial Capital No.1 Middle School.”
“If Old Yang wants to kill us, he should have said so earlier!” a ssmate wailed.
“Such a difficult paper. Why don’t we hand in nk papers together…” a ssmate suggested.
Anyway, this group of students had always beenwless. When all the students handed in their nk papers, the school leaders would definitely be unable to do anything.
“Cough cough…”
Duan Yu coughed ironically. “Don’t worry too much. This exam is jointly held with Imperial Capital No.1 Middle School. You can do as much as you can. If you hand in the nk paper, no one will cover up for you when you y tricks in ss next time.”
After Duan Yu sent the message, these people stopped thinking about handing in nk papers.
“Yue Yue, I heard that the papers at Imperial Capital No.1 Middle School are famous for being difficult…” Wang Zhizhi hugged her books and looked like she had nothing to live for.
“Yes.” Nian Yue scratched her head. She had flipped through a few pages of the chapter on electromaic field for high school physics.
“Don’t be too stressed. You can just try your level best…” Wang Zhizhiforted her.
After all, besides Chinese, Nian Yue had scored full marks for all the other papers. However, it was her first monthly examination, so it was not difficult.
This time, the papers from the Imperial Capital were used. It would be extremely difficult for Nian Yue to get full marks like the previous time.
“Are you talking about yourself?” Lin Nan crossed his legs and nced at her. “With Sister Yue’s standards, I think she’ll perform even better thanst time.”
“Not necessarily.”
The studymittee member chimed in, “None of the students from Imperial Capital No.1 Middle School have scored full marks in the entire subject. Nian Yue was just lucky thest time.”
“Besides, have you seen her in ss?”
‘What she said was the truth. Nian Yue had azy personality and usually only yed a few games with her phone when she had nothing to do. Usually, when her ssmates came over to ask her questions, she would answer them with a few words.
She definitely had the ability.
However, it was a little unrealistic to get full marks for every subject likest time.
“Can’t my Sister Yue do what she wants in ss?” Lin Nan rolled his eyes at her. “Go do what you have to do.”
The subject representative red at him angrily and packed her bag to go to the examination hall.
In any case, she heard that the teachers from Imperial Capital No.1 Middle School had changed the test paper this time. She wanted to see how Nian Yue would continue being arrogant.
On the other hand, Nian Yue did not have much interest in the exams. Other than the fact that she did not know much about Chinese, the rest were not difficult for her.
After the exams, Duan Yu was looking at the results when Teacher Li sat beside her with his legs crossed. “Teacher Duan, how did the students in your ss do?”
“Not bad.” Duan Yu smiled.
“A student in my ss got 650 this time and scored over 80 for physics.” There was obvious pride in Mr. Li’s voice.
He had seen it just now. There were more than 30 sses, and none of them had scored more than 60 points in physics.
“Is he your ss’s number one again? Qu Jing?” a teacher asked curiously.
ss B had a top scorer who usually came in first in the exam.
Although he studied sports, his academic performance was not bad. With such results, he would be able to get into the Imperial University for the college entrance examination.
“That’s right. That child usually doesn’t talk much. He came in first again this time.” Mr. Li could not hide the pride in his voice. Instead, he looked at Duan Yu. “If I remember correctly, besides Chinese, Nian Yue from ss A scored full marks for everything else, right? I wonder how she has done this
time?”
“That’s right, Teacher Duan. Nian Yue should have done well this time…”
Another teacher asked.
They were also very curious about Nian Yue’s score this time.
“think so. I haven’t seen the test paper yet.” Duan Yu smiled.
After all, the papers were graded online. The answer cards were with the Year Head.
Nian Yue’s results were not out yet, so she could not say for sure.
Mr. Li sneered and treated Duan Yu’s words with scorn.He did not believe that Duan Yu did not know about the results of the previous monthly examination.
In fact, Duan Yu really did not know Nian Yue’s results.
Because her paper was not in the teacher’s hands at all. It was with Principal Wang.
Inside the principal’s office, Principal Wang fell into silence as he looked at the answer sheet in front of him.
He could not quite work out how Nian Yue had solved all the questions in such a simple manner.
Before Principal Wang could figure it out, he received a call.
“Principal Xu, why did you call?”
Principal Xu was the principal of the Imperial University and used to be schoolmates with the principal. They had a good rtionship and would keep in contact asionally.
But it was the first time he had called without a word.
“Theard that someone in your school scored full marks in physics this time,” Principal Xu said with a smile.
“There’s a student…” Principal Wangughed.” However, I heard that there are quite a number of top students in Imperial Capital No.1 Middle School…”
“Tve already asked around. There are two students who scored full marks, but only two of them were guaranteed admission to the Imperial University.” The students of Imperial Capital No.1 Middle School had better foundations than the students of Jiang City No.1 Middle School, so it was not surprising
that the students there had scored full marks.
However, out of thousands of people in a high school, only two of them scored full marks. One could imagine the difficulty of the test paper this time..
