Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

What if her screaming makes Tan Mo lose her sense of hearing?

Qin Muye: “…”

Ha, ha, she couldn’t be bothered to fuss with Wei Zhiqian at the moment.

“Good lord.” Tan Wenci’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. What was he seeing? “This is probably the highest-scoring liberal arts major in City B.”

His daughter, a 15-year-old, was the highest-scoring liberal arts major!

“Ha, ha, ha, ha!” Tan Wenci was laughing like crazy as he said, “If Yuan Keqing wanted to harm Mo Mo, she can dream on.”

How gratifying!

“Mo Mo has become really good at giving people a taste of their own medicine.” Tan Jinsheng still remembered that when Wei Keli had heard Tan Mo say that she had screwed up on the exam, he couldn’t hide his expression of relief.

At this time, Xu Mingzhen’s phone rang.

Staring at the computer screen that was resting on Tan Mo’s lap, Xu Mingzhen still hadn’t recovered from the initial shock of seeing the score. She took the phone out of her pocket and saw that it was Old Madame Wei calling.

Xu Mingzhen came back to her senses and answered, “Old Madame.”

“Mingzhen, have Mo Mo’s grades come out? How are they?” On the other end of the phone, Old Madame Wei asked with concern, “Is Mo Mo with you? If the test results are not satisfactory, you can tell me in secret. Don’t make her feel uncomfortable by saying it in front of her.”

Old Madame Wei remembered that Tan Mo had handed in the exam early and rushed to the hospital.

She thought that no matter how capable Tan Mo was, the results of the exam probably wouldn’t be satisfactory.

Xu Mingzhen trembled with excitement as she repeated, “Old Madame.”

“What?” Because she couldn’t see her, Old Madame could only hear Xu Mingzhen’s trembling voice. Thinking that Xu Mingzhen was choking back her tears, she said, “Don’t be sad. It doesn’t matter if Mo Mo didn’t pass the exam this time. Don’t feel sad, let alone don’t let Mo Mo see you’re sad, or else she would feel sad too.”

“Mo Mo, she…” Xu Mingzhen took a deep breath and continued excitedly, “she got a perfect score on the exam. A perfect score of 750 points. She even got a perfect score on the essay.”

“What! Ah!” Old Madame couldn’t help laughing, and, without even hanging up the phone, she said to the Old Master who was sitting next to her, “Mo Mo got a perfect score! A perfect score of 750!”

“Hurry up! Let them all come over. Let’s set up a feast for Mo Mo to celebrate,” the Old Master said happily.

Xu Mingzhen didn’t expect that the two elders would be so happy. It was as if their own grandchild had gotten good grades on the exam.

Since the two elders were so happy, Xu Mingzhen didn’t rain on their parade. She didn’t ask Tan Mo or the others and directly decided, “Okay, we’ll be over in a while.”

After Old Madame hung up the phone, the Old Master slapped his thigh regretfully as he said, “It’s a pity that we can’t set off fireworks now. Otherwise, we should really celebrate with fireworks.”

“Mo Mo, you are even more astonishing than I knew. You even got a perfect score on the essay!” How impressive!

“I thought Yeqing was already very astonishing, but I didn’t expect you…” Qin Muye had already started counting with her fingers how many points she would have to get on the college entrance examination.

“Mo Mo, what topic did you write your essay on?” Tan Jinqi asked.

“The Battle of Chibi,” Tan Mo said. “However, I wrote it from a different angle according to the requirements of the essay.”

Her master, who had been practicing his powers for hundreds of thousands of years, had witnessed this war firsthand.

Firsthand experience wasn’t something history books could compete with.

History books were usually written by later generations or written by the victors, and were therefore inherently biased.

In addition, the history in them has been passed down from generation to generation over the years, and has undergone changes in the telling.

By modern times, much of the telling of what actually took place that day had disappeared.

None of the books are as truthful as the words of her master.

She had grown tired of listening to the Master’s lectures, so she had pestered Master to tell her stories.

Master told her about history.

Tan Mo dares to say with confidence that in this world no one knows the history of China better than she does.

She wrote about the Battle of Chibi from a perspective that was in accordance with what her Master had told her.

As for classical Chinese, she also dares to say with confidence that she is unrivaled.

She is a little snow fairy who has listened to classical Chinese being spoken for thousands of years.

“Mo Mo’s essay is on viral searches.” Tan Jinsheng forwarded the Weibo post to the family’s group chat.

“Forward it to us too.” Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing weren’t in the Tan family’s group chat.

Tan Mo forwarded her Weibo post to Wei Zhiqian, Qin Muye, and Ming Yeqing.

Wei Zhiqian clicked on Weibo to read it and saw the entry read: #B City’s only perfect score essay on the college entrance examination: #The Battle of Chibi#.

Because of privacy protections, the article did not mention any information related to Tan Mo.

“Tan Mo is so impressive. I’ve heard that even the scorer struggled to understand this essay and even needed to check a classical Chinese dictionary for some words,” Tan Jinyi said with pride.

“I’ve also heard that a scorer wasn’t sure about the usage of one of the words, but the whole essay showed that the candidate had a profound understanding of classical Chinese, so the scorer became unsure of his judgment, and he didn’t dare to grade it casually. After a group meeting, they made an exception and consulted an old professor at Beijing University. The old professor checked the usage of that word in many ancient books and determined that the word was appropriately used in the essay. Qin Muye read the last sentence of a news article about the essay.

“The leader of the scoring group said that with such a profound understanding of classical Chinese and such an accurate use of words, even as teachers, they felt put to shame. However, they also said that the examinee wasn’t being deliberately magniloquent, which is really rare. Furthermore, the essay was very enlightening and might even provide a new direction for research into the history of this battle. If such an essay didn’t win a perfect score, then there would be no essay worthy of a perfect score.

“Furthermore, after reading this essay and then looking at other essays, they felt that none of them seemed qualified for a perfect score.” The teacher who was the group leader spoke very euphemistically, but, in truth, he wanted to express that all the other essays paled in comparison with this essay. There were none that seemed to deserve a perfect score. Otherwise, how can they show the gap between this essay and the other essays?

　　 “Therefore, this essay has become the only essay with a perfect score in City B’s College Entrance Examination for this year.” City B’s College Entrance Examination used separate test papers.

Tan Mo: “…”

Had her essay cut off other people’s paths to a perfect essay score?

“I don’t know if anyone cares if I say that I didn’t do it on purpose.” Tan Mo pointed at herself with her index finger and said, “I didn’t expect this either.”

“Of course you didn’t do it on purpose.” Wei Zhiqian snorted and said, “Those people didn’t get perfect scores because they aren’t capable enough.”

What kind of devious thoughts could Tan Mo have?

She was just too excellent.

Ming Yeqing: “…”

Why were they all looking at him?

Were they going to diss him because he hadn’t praised her?

Qin Muye suddenly faced Ming Yeqing with an expression showing schadenfreude, and she said, “You are also one of the people who couldn’t get a perfect score after being compared to Tan Mo.”

Without Tan Mo’s essay for comparison, perhaps Ming Yeqing might have really gotten a perfect score.

Ming Yeqing: “…”

He had already said that liberal arts wasn’t his strong point!
