608 Can I Get Full Marks? 

“What?” Feng Wu was bewildered. “People are actually placing bets on that?”

“Of course they are. The gambling houses began to place wagers while you were taking the exam. Sister, those people are so stupid. Everyone put their money on you not passing the exam and the odds against you are sky-high!” Feng Xiaoqi’s cheeks were flushed with excitement.

“How high, exactly?” Feng Wu asked in resignation.

“It’s 1:1.1 on you failing the exam and 1:100 on you passing it… but everyone put their money on you failing it.

“Sister, do you have money to spare?

“I only have ten silver coins and that’s too little. Sister, Sister~” Feng Xiaoqi took Feng Wu’s hand and swayed her arm back and forth.

Feng Wu sighed. “Here are 10,000 silver coins. Have a little fun, but don’t gamble too much!”

10,000 silver coins was “a little fun”? Feng Xiaoqi was thrilled. He grabbed the bag and dashed off!

“Miss, is 10,000 enough? How about we take the chance and…” Qiuling was as excited as Xiaoqi.

Feng Wu shook her head. “Gambling occasionally can soothe the mind, but overdoing it will become a vice. Xiaoqi can have a little fun and that’s it.”

Putting too much money into it would bring about too much trouble in the future, which Feng Wu didn’t want to deal with. Moreover —

What was under Grand Secretary Fang’s manor was worth so much more. At that thought, Feng Wu jumped over the wall to look for the old man.

Grand Secretary Fang was marveling at some flowers under a tree when Feng Wu got there. He beckoned her over. “Kiddo, come over here.”

Feng Wu ran over happily and grinned. “Old Master Fang, you want to speak with me?”

“Yes.” Grand Secretary Fang then turned to walk into the room.

Feng Wu followed him right away.

Grand Secretary Fang took out an exam paper and handed it to Feng Wu. “There, finish this.”

Feng Wu knew that the old man was going to correct today’s exam paper for her.

Without another word, Feng Wu sat down and started writing down the answers.

It took her less than fifteen minutes to write down everything from memory.

Blowing the ink dry, Feng Wu handed in the paper. “Old Master, there you go —”

Grand Secretary Fang began to correct it right there and then.

As he ticked one answer after another, Feng Wu was a little fidgety, for she wasn’t sure about one of the multiple choice questions.

Then Grand Secretary Fang proceeded to that section.

Feng Wu thought her heart was going to stop.

Was today her lucky day?

Section three contained ten multiple choice questions.

Grand Secretary Fang paused a little at the last question, then —

He put a tick next to the answer!

Feng Wu: !!!

She finally thought she could breathe again…

After that, she was overwhelmed with ecstasy!

She made a wild guess and it was correct!

And it was a multiple choice question on a subject she knew nothing about! It was purely a guess!

“Old Master, I really got that one right?” Feng Wu felt as if she was dreaming.

“Of course.” The old man darted a look at her. “Are you not sure about your answer?”

“I guessed that one.” Feng Wu told the truth.

The old man didn’t know what to say.

He gave Feng Wu a long, brooding, and indecipherable look… then went back to correcting her paper.

Correct, correct, correct…

All the answers after that were correct. Her handwriting was neat and her logic was coherent. She didn’t write a single unnecessary word. It was impeccable.

The old man didn’t know what to say.

“Old Master, do you think I can get full marks?” That was Feng Wu’s main concern.

“That’s hard to tell.” The old man shook his head.
