The Master s Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 309: Chapter 308: Sudden Favor

Sheng Zijin glared at him angrily and reminded You Kezhou across several people’s seats.

You Kezhou shivered and snapped back to reality.

Receiving Sheng Zijin’s encouraging gaze, she mustered her courage and shouted at Lu Mian, “Fine, since you’re so amazing, why don’t you help me translate this page? What does it mean?!”

She flipped open a page of the original text at random, the dense array of letters enough to give anyone with a fear of foreign languages a headache.

Lu Mian scanned the page calmly and handed the book back to You Kezhou.

The other party was taken aback, “Can’t you translate it?”

“Place your school badge here.”

Lu Mian tapped the desk.

You Kezhou, out of spite, tore off her school badge and placed it on the table, “If you can take it, it’s your skill!”

Lu Mian, with hands behind her back, began to speak in a clear and pleasant voice.

Her pronunciation of the foreign language was as beautiful as pearls dropping onto a jade plate, exceptionally melodious and pleasant to the ear.

She recited an English passage from memory and then translated its meaning.

The whole class was dumbfounded!

She was translating without the text!

This was incredible.

What kind of brain did she have? She must be a scanner.

Lu Mian effortlessly translated the entire page of English without even glancing at the book again.

And You Kezhou stared at her own masterpiece, not a single letter was wrong!

She looked at the book, then at Lu Mian, and was flabbergasted.

How did she do that?

She had only looked at it for about ten seconds…

After Lu Mian’s translation, You Kezhou deflated like a frostbitten eggplant.

Lu Mian could not only translate but also do it without the text.

No matter how much You Kezhou wanted to argue, in the face of absolute strength, all her words became pale and powerless.

Lu Mian scoffed, picked up the school badge, and casually tossed it. The badge traced a beautiful arc and landed precisely in front of Su Luo’s desk.

“Place it properly.”

Su Luo grouped the school badge with those previously won, her mouth slightly agape: all three were won by Lu Mian…

She was truly too strong.

So powerful that one could only look up to her.

Lu Mian looked at the dispirited You Kezhou, “This book in Chinese is ‘Insect Records,’ a specialized biology textbook. It’s a required reading for us in first-year junior high. In your school, do you only start reading it in the first year of high school?”

“…”

You Kezhou bit her lip, her face flushing red.

How could she have known that Kunpeng School had Lu Mian? She had just casually brought a book to look impressive and slap faces.

Today, the people from Era Middle School had completely lost face.

Sheng Zijin looked at Lu Mian thoughtfully and pinched the bridge of her nose.

This girl would be a major threat in the future.

Watching their team’s badges getting fewer, she knew she couldn’t continue like this, or they would surely lose this exchange meeting.

Her gaze swept to a man standing outside the door; wasn’t that their school’s disciplinary director?

If the disciplinary director saw all this, shouldn’t he step in and manage it?

She flashed a look and called out directly to the man outside, “Director Qimo, is this how you always manage the students of Kunpeng High School? Just now, Lu Mian came in kicking and slamming the door; everyone saw it.”

Xiao Qimo was unexpectedly called out and squinted as he glanced at the stepped classroom, where the little rascals seemed to have settled down.

He then proceeded with an elegant stride, pushing his gold-rimmed glasses as he walked in.

As he entered, he brought a chill with him that seemed to freeze the upbeat atmosphere of the classroom.

Though the excitement had been high moments before, rules still had to be followed.

There was real concern that Director Qimo might take Lu Mian out, which would simply be a joke for those from Era Middle School to see, wouldn’t it?

Xiao Qimo, unaware of these students’ thoughts, strode in, his gaze never falling on Sheng Zijin from start to finish. His deep eyes briefly swept over the Kunpeng students and he said indifferently, “Yes, this is how I manage things.”

All students: ???

Three seconds later, their reaction exploded, Ahhh, madly praising Director Qimo!

Such unexpected favoritism!

“You…” Sheng Zijin shook her head, “Then you are far behind our own head of discipline.”

“But she won,” Director Qimo defended domineeringly.

“If you let such unruly students run wild, can you guarantee the safety of other students? This time it’s kicking doors, what will it be next time?”

“But she won.”

The classmates were struggling to hold back their laughter. Director Qimo was just too good at comebacks, greenening the other’s face with just a couple of sentences.

Defeated, Sheng Zijin sat back down.

Gu Jingyi consoled her perfunctorily, then turned her gaze back to Xiao Qimo.

After the commotion subsided, the English class had to continue. Lu Mian, holding her novel, walked to the last row amidst envious and admiring gazes of her peers.

As she passed by Lei Shuqi, he even enthusiastically offered her an empty seat, which Lu Mian ignored.

Xiao Qimo narrowed his eyes, taking an extra glance. He followed Lu Mian to the last row, where they sat side by side, separated by an aisle.

Gu Jingyi’s head kept turning with Xiao Qimo, to the point of almost not being able to turn back.

Lu Mian felt that Director Qimo shouldn’t have come into the classroom, disrupting the students’ learning.

——

Since Lu Mian had declared that all challenges were to be directed at her, the teachers and students of Grade 10 had it much easier. The teachers didn’t have to worry about being nitpicked, and the students could happily be onlookers, cheering with terms like “666” for the team of ten student representatives, with the remaining nine acting as cheerleaders.

Unknowingly, through various competitions, Lu Mian had already won seven school badges from the rival.

What did this mean? It meant that Lu Mian had surpassed Lu Xi’s ability from back then, who had only been a one-versus-five contender.

However, Xiao Qimo had recently noticed some annoying individuals hovering around Lu Mian.

One day, he finally lost his patience, pointing at Lei Shuqi and asking Ye Jinwen, “Who is he?”

Ye Jinwen shivered. Had Lei Shuqi gotten thunderstruck? He was told to stay away from Lu Mian, yet here he was, daring to actively pursue her.

He felt that Qimo’s patience was on the verge of snapping.

“Brother Qimo, cool down. That guy will be gone in a few days, just ignore him. Besides, I’ve already taught him a lesson for you,” Ye Jinwen said.

“Oh?”

Xiao Qimo, sensing something more from those words, crossed his arms, calmly and collectedly waiting for Ye Jinwen’s explanation.

The kind that he would die without.

Ye Jinwen slapped himself. Oh no!

Caught in the middle, he had no choice but to recount the story from start to finish.

“But Brother Qimo, I think Little Mianmian didn’t just beat him up because she was worried about the food getting cold,” Ye Jinwen, having survived between two power players, had learned many methods of salvation and self-salvation.

“What is it then?”

“I think she was in a hurry to bring food to you,” he suggested.

“Moreover, she clearly went out of her way to MM Ji Restaurant for the food, even though she was in the cafeteria. What does that tell you? It shows that she took to heart what Mo Nie said that day!”

Ye Jinwen felt like a clever little imp.

Xiao Qimo’s expression softened considerably, his lips curving slightly at this discovery, feeling joyous.

He, usually so good at controlling his emotions, was now like a young man experiencing the first stirrings of love, secretly delighted by his affection for the girl he adored.
