Chapter 27

The teacher held up the test paper, speaking earnestly: “Much to my surprise, the student who scored full marks is Miss Luo’er.”
Inwardly, the teacher thought, no wonder Xing Luo hadn’t been paying attention in class and finished so quickly, she knew everything.
“What? Full marks?” The woman sitting next to Xing Luo was shocked. The answers she had given Xing Luo were her own, and she hadn’t even scored full marks herself. There should have been one or two mistakes. Even so, she could have used the questions to her advantage. After all, Xing Luo was a new student and hadn’t been attending class, how could she possibly get such a score on her own?
Unexpectedly, Xing Luo had answered everything correctly. But perhaps it was just a fluke.
“Teacher! I object!” the woman raised her hand.
The teacher asked, “Qi Xue, what’s the matter?”
Qi Xue was, of course, Qi Xuan’s younger sister, and her actions today were all under her elder sister’s instructions.
Pointing at Xing Luo’s desk, Qi Xue said, “Teacher, Luo’er cheated! I saw a paper ball in her desk, and it must contain the correct answers!”
“…” Xing Luo side-eyed Qi Xue. So the paper ball wasn’t meant to help her, it was a trap.
The Magic Palace was truly a dangerous place; someone was always scheming against her.
Fortunately, she had Ye Lixiao as her protector. even if she acted a little recklessly, it shouldn’t matter.
“Oh?” Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Xing Luo. The students behind her could clearly see the paper ball in her desk.
“Teacher! What Qi Xue says is true! There really is a paper ball in Luo’er’s desk.” a student from the back chimed in.
Hearing this, the teacher furrowed his brows and walked over to her. He took the paper ball from her desk, and Xing Luo did not stop him.
Qi Xue had accused her assuming Xing Luo was incompetent, but Xing Luo had real talent. Even if the paper ball was discovered, she had no reason to worry.
The teacher opened the paper ball and indeed found the answers inside. There were one or two minor mistakes, but it was easy to imagine that Xing Luo might have altered them slightly and accidentally gotten everything correct.
“Miss Luo’er, don’t you want to explain?” the teacher asked seriously.
Although she had been personally sent by Ye Lixiao, the expectation was that the teacher would teach her properly. And now, on only her second day, she was accused of cheating.
Xing Luo looked at the teacher lazily. “The questions on the test were so simple, only a fool would cheat, right?”
The teacher was stunned. Xing Luo had been caught cheating, yet she had this kind of attitude?
Qi Xue had expected her to be more flustered, but instead she seemed fearless, probably relying on Ye Lixiao’s current favor. though she wouldn’t enjoy it for long.
No matter Xing Luo’s attitude, the result wouldn’t change. Qi Xue said, “You talk a good game, but if you’re so disdainful of cheating, how do you explain the paper ball found in your desk? Don’t dodge the main point!”
“Do you not know where the paper ball came from?” Xing Luo looked at Qi Xue with a half-smile, her eyes icy cold.
Meeting her gaze, Qi Xue suddenly felt uneasy.
“How would I know?!” Qi Xue snapped.
Xing Luo said, “This test is so simple. Even if we take it a few more times, it won’t be a problem. Teacher, if you don’t believe me, you can verify it anytime.”
