I Studied Abroad in Modern Times - Chapter 56

Chapter 56 Cleverness

The seventh young master’s study.

Facts have proven that taking exams can be relaxing, stress-free and even fun – as long as you are the invigilator.

If you happen to have just taken the monthly exam, you will, like Zheng Fa, experience the inexplicable excitement of a boy who slays a dragon and turns into an evil dragon.

He stood in front of the hall, with three short tables in front of him. Behind them sat Gao Yuan, the seventh young master, and his younger sister Zheng Shan.

The expression on everyone’s face is different.

Gao Yuan is nervous and full of fighting spirit, and seems to be quite ready to fight.

The seventh young master was restless, looking around, as if he had never experienced such an occasion.

The younger sister, Zheng Shan, was not nervous. Instead, her body was twisting and turning, her eyes were wandering around, and she was looking at this strange study curiously.

Giving the three of them a surprise exam was certainly not because they wanted to have fun, well, at least not entirely.

The madam linked the success or failure of ascending to the Immortal Sect with the position of the eldest lady’s personal entourage, so the only thing Zheng Fa can do now is to improve the seventh young master’s attainments in talismans.

In two months, the seventh young master could only be given special training using quick methods.

But this requires the cooperation of the seventh young master, and he must at least study harder.

How would you describe the seventh young master’s current learning status?

…He sleeps extremely well while reading.

In Zheng Fa’s opinion, the seventh young master is not stupid, but his lazy and willful life for more than ten years has made it difficult for him to study hard and focused.

It is indeed difficult for this young master who has been pampered and grown up to have him study as hard as Gao Yuan did.

The main purpose of this exam is to make the seventh young master realize his current level, to make him realize his shame and then be brave, at least to become more energetic in a short period of time.

This method is the same as when some teachers give students a sudden and extremely difficult test when they just return to school after vacation – to make students give up their nostalgia for the vacation, understand that they are trash, and then study with their tail between their legs.

Zheng Fa observed the seventh young master silently.

The sun has been shining brightly since this morning. The maids all hid in the house, and the whole courtyard was silent.

The seventh young master’s expression was even more anxious than the temperature outside, and he kept looking around.

This look was very familiar to Zheng Fa – the scumbag entering the examination room looked like the pig entering the slaughterhouse, with a sense of fear that his death was imminent.

The seventh young master first looked at Gao Yuan, frowned and thought about it. He seemed to think that Gao Yuan was better at learning than him, and his face became a little more anxious.

He turned to look at his little sister Zheng Shan again, his expression brighter.

Zheng Fa knew what he was thinking by looking at his changing expressions – Master Seven seemed to feel that no matter how bad he was at studying, he would never be as bad as a six-year-old child, and he could not be ranked second among the three.

Zheng Fa’s evaluation of this is naive.

He captured his younger sister Zheng Shan just to give the seventh young master the final blow.

He is very aware of the level of his younger sister Zheng Shan. In his opinion, the worst among the three should be the seventh young master.

Gao Yuan is undoubtedly the best among the three. He originally had some basic knowledge and was unable to learn “Junior High School Mathematics”, but he started to learn “Elementary School Mathematics” with no difficulty and made rapid progress. He has already begun to enter the knowledge of higher grades.

Although the younger sister Zheng Shan has no foundation, she is still interested in reading for the time being. She has a simple mind, is not stupid, and is not slow to learn.

As for the seventh young master – he is old, has complicated thoughts, and has not developed good study habits. He is lazy and gets sleepy when he reads. He really doesn’t study as well as his younger sister.

Zheng Fa took out the test paper he had prepared, distributed it to three people respectively, and said, “One hour, let’s get started.”

When the three of them heard this, they all immersed themselves in the test papers.

Gao Yuan and the seventh young master used calligraphy brushes. The younger sister Zheng Shan had not practiced calligraphy yet, so she used charcoal pens specially made for her by Zheng Fa.

For a moment, there was no other sound in the study except the sound of Zheng Fa’s gentle footsteps.

But the seventh young master did not focus on the exam for too long. After burning the incense, Zheng Fa saw him secretly raising his head and looking left and right.

Looking at his paper again, Zheng Fa understood clearly:

Good news: it gets done.

The bad news: Not much will be done.

To sum up, Guizhou donkey has no skills.

The seventh young master also seemed to be very worried. He quietly raised his head and observed the opponents on both sides.

If Gao Yuan’s concentration made him feel uneasy. The young girl Zheng Shan’s vigorous writing probably shattered his low confidence.

He stared at the large blank space on his test paper, as if he expected the answers to the test questions to grow on the paper by themselves like crops in the field.

Just when his expression became more and more desperate, a childish cough suddenly sounded in the study.

Zheng Fa squinted his eyes and watched the little girl quietly raise her left hand, which had gradually become rounder.

As if she was afraid that Young Master Seven could not see clearly, she deliberately moved her test paper in the direction of Young Master Seven.

In order to block Zheng Fa’s gaze, the little girl tilted her **** and tilted her whole body to the left, trying to hide her little movement.

Zheng Fa shook his head helplessly. After the seventh young master tormented Wang Gui, the younger sister was very fond of the seventh young master and started copying answers for him.

The seventh young master stared at the little sister’s operation in stunned silence, and his expression became extremely troubled. Zheng Fa could feel his dilemma – which one is more embarrassing, failing the test or copying the answers of a six-year-old child?

After a while, Zheng Fa saw the seventh young master’s head turning slightly, and he should be browsing the younger sister’s test paper with his peripheral vision.

Zheng Fa did not expose the two of them, but just shook his head and smiled pityingly towards the seventh young master.

…

As expected, the results of the exam made the seventh young master realize that the dilemma he had just faced had the most embarrassing answer – he copied it, but he still failed the exam.

Looking at the seventh young master who looked gloomy and looked like he was about to break, Zheng Fa winked at Gao Yuan and Zheng Shan who were standing aside. After the two left silently, he sat next to the seventh young master.

“Zheng Fa, am I stupid?”

The seventh young master suddenly spoke.

“Young master, you are very smart.” Zheng Fa shook his head. He was telling the truth. In his opinion, the seventh master’s problem is not his brain.

After a brief comfort, Zheng Fa began to fool the seventh young master: “It’s just that you need better learning methods, young master.”

But the seventh young master was obviously not comforted, and he still doubted himself: “I can’t even compare to your six-year-old sister, how can I learn talismans in the future?”

“Actually, I have a secret method that can help the young master improve his talismans without having to learn mathematics.”

“A secret method again? I can’t learn it and I’m not interested.” The seventh young master said that he was very hurt.

“Just pass it on to you, not to them.”

“Really?” The seventh young master’s eyes lit up.

“Yes, only you can learn it, and they don’t know how to draw symbols.” Zheng Fa said in a persuasive tone.

For the seventh young master, it doesn’t matter if he fails in the exam – Mr. Shen’s grades have always been very poor in his assessment, and his mentality has been developed long ago.

But losing miserably in front of two other people, especially a six-year-old child, was what troubled him.

Hearing that this secret technique can only be learned by oneself, the seventh young master immediately regained his sense of superiority: “Then… is it easy to learn?”

“It’s done quickly! I just need you, young master, to accept my special training in the past two months. I will ensure that your attainments in talismans will improve by leaps and bounds!”

“You really don’t need to learn this bad math?”

“Keep it safe!”

“I’ll learn! I knew you were the best to me, Zheng Fa!” The seventh young master, who was severely beaten by the other two, was immediately full of good impressions of Zheng Fa, and asked with great interest: “This secret method is called What name.”

“Tihai, oh no, Tuhai tactics.”

“What sea?” The seventh young master seemed not to understand the two words and muttered: “I have only heard of the boundless sea of ​​suffering…”

Zheng Fa was silent for a while and said with admiration: “Young master, although your hearing is not very good, your understanding ability is great!”

“This doesn’t sound like a compliment to me.” The seventh young master looked at Zheng Fa suspiciously: “Are you scared by my mother once and are you planning to torment me?”

“No way! This is my method to get the best results. It works very quickly. I only leave it to you!” Zheng Fa promised firmly.

Sure enough, I know my son better than my mother—

This seventh young master always has some inappropriate cleverness.
