Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 384 - 267 The Amazing Choice of the Big Shot!_3

The servant happened to bring in tea, casting a strange glance at Elder Jiang.

What on earth did the old man just say?

She must have misheard.

Jiang Jiujue cleared his throat and sat down to one side, forced to put on the airs of a father in front of the servant, "So Xuanxuan, Yeye... she’s going to take part in the Academy of Sciences’ examination?"

Attending a university wasn’t enough, she had to stir up trouble at the Academy of Sciences too?

Jiang Xuan casually picked up a financial magazine, elegantly crossing his long legs, "The people who kidnapped Yeye years ago might be connected to the Academy of Sciences; she’s going there to investigate that matter."

Jiang Jiujue muttered under his breath, "With her bad temper, she’s made plenty of enemies; it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack, how can she possibly investigate?"

Jiang Xuan gave him a meaningful look, and Jiang Jiujue clamped his mouth shut.

But he was quiet for only a short while before he saw the wife of the head of the family, all smiles, carrying a bowl of medicinal cuisine out from the kitchen.

She was also holding a rather large blue and white porcelain medicine bottle.

Jiang Jiujue recognized the medicine bottle; it was from the same series as the one Xia Ye had given him before.

"Daughter-in-law, did you buy medicine from the... from Yeye again?"

Liu Manyi said with a smile, "Dad, that girl’s medicine is really good, worth every penny. I’ve been taking it for almost a month, and I truly feel invigorated, like I’m younger..."

Jiang Jiujue tapped the floor with his cane, his face a picture of someone on high alert. He didn’t voice his complaints this time; instead, he just grumbled to himself.

—’That little fairy really knows how to charm; everyone’s heart is with her. If this continues, even the wise and mighty Heavenly Dao might be bewitched into a foolish monarch...’

Before he could finish the thought, he received another look from Jiang Xuan and felt a sudden pang of fear in his heart.

Dead, dead, I forgot about Heavenly Dao’s special ability; he can hear what’s in my mind!

The scene shifts back to the lecture hall.

Twenty minutes had passed, and most students had decided on the level of examination they wanted to participate in.

To facilitate a clearer view later, Xie Yuan left the podium and sat down in the first row of the auditorium, with Professor Bian coming over to sit with him.

Professor Bian knew that Xia Ye, in her first foray, would not perform spectacularly in the experiment. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Truth be told, not screwing up would be good enough.

Keep in mind, competing alongside her were graduating seniors with plenty of experience.

Worried his master would be disappointed in Xia Ye, Professor Bian took the initiative to give him a heads-up, "Master, Yeye is just here to get some experience this year. She’s only a freshman and doesn’t really know how to conduct experiments yet. Give her a couple of years, and she definitely will..."

He was speaking cautiously, but before he could finish, his master, with a greatly exaggerated tone, interjected, "How old is she? What’re you expecting from a teenager? Why put so much pressure on her?"

Professor Bian: ...

You’ve got to admit, Yeye was born lucky, possessing a face identical to that of their Ancestral Master. Just one meeting and she won over such a difficult old man...

Dean Fan, after analyzing the abilities of the senior students, suggested, "Both of you are the steady type. The dean recommends you both... would be better off choosing level 3..."

The senior sister and brother looked at each other, "We’ll follow your advice."

Dean Fan nodded, then turned to Shen Zhiqiao, "Qiaoqiao, the dean also thinks level 3 is safer, but... I heard from Professor Bian that you’ve practiced the dialysis experiment in level 4 before. It’s tougher and offers a chance at higher scores. How about, do you want to try level 4?"

The older students, having spent several more years in the lab than Shen Zhiqiao, were not to be underestimated.

Yet at that moment, Shen Zhiqiao was staring at the big screen, her expression as confident as ever.

She had practiced that dialysis experiment many times and was indeed very confident about it.

While others hesitated between level 2 and level 3, she alone enunciated clearly, "Alright, Professor, I’ll go for the level 4 experiment."

Dean Fan smiled with satisfaction before turning to Xia Ye...

Those seniors who had chosen levels 2 and 3 gave Shen Zhiqiao looks of utter astonishment.

"She actually dares to take on level 4? How bold!"

"I heard she’s only a sophomore!"

"I feel like my four years in college have been a waste!"

Anyone else might have been thrilled by these remarks,

But Shen Zhiqiao wasn’t; she was unaffected, no stranger to such a reaction.

But just then, an indifferent voice from the seat next to her captured everyone’s attention, shifting it from Shen Zhiqiao. They stared at Xia Ye with disbelief, as if they’d seen a ghost, just because Xia Ye had just stated—

"I’ll take the level 5 experiment."
