Chapter 352

Only after many people threw comforting glances at Sun Yan did her expression improve slightly, returning them with a small smile.

“Balsam, Drosera burmannii, Millipede, Black Carp...Chinese Sumac, Pearl, Sodium Sulphate, Plant Soot...” freeweb novel.co m

The surrounding people didn’t care too much about it either and continued dictating.

Yet, the further they read, the more difficult it became. The sequence of the names didn’t have a proper rule of order. Two minutes later, someone standing on Sun Yan’s side of the answer sheet spoke up again, “Another two names are missing here again, also...the sequence is also wrong...”

“What about Jing Yun Zhao?” Someone directly asked.

“All correct.” Some of the people on the panel were also frustrated.

Compared to Jing Yun Zhao who’d skydived in, they naturally were more biased towards Sun Yan who had previously proven her worth and someone with a prospective future. They too wanted to help her, but although she didn’t have many mistakes, Jing Yun Zhao didn’t have any at all!

Sun Yan’s expression turned green again.

There were dozens more medicinal herbs in the back and everyone could tell that the further they went, the odds of Sun Yan making a mistake became higher. What’s more, her handwriting was practically illegible. Sometimes she crossed out her words, wrote something again, before crossing it out again. Everything was very messy and unclear.

Turning to look at Jing Yun Zhao’s words, they were as if they were printed on, neat and orderly. Looking at it was very soothing and enjoyable.

Someone’s handwriting could expose a lot about that person. Jing Yun Zhao’s personality and her handwriting were similar, rigid and cold.

More time passed before this round came to an end.

As before, no one on Jing Yun Zhao’s side brought up any mistakes, while Sun Yan’s errors ranged in the tens.

Honestly, although this error rate was quite high compared to Jing Yun Zhao’s, it was actually considered very good. After all, there were only five minutes to memorize the booklet. Some people spent as much time only to fail to remember the first 10.

“First round’s victor goes to: Jing Yun Zhao! No one has any problem with this, right?” One of the judges announced.

Everyone could only nod their heads.

What problem could they even have? She got everything right, even if they wanted to nitpick, there was nothing for them to work from! What’s more, even if they did manage to pick something out, it still couldn’t be more than what Sun Yan had!

Sun Yan bit her lip and squeezed out a small smile, “Jing Yun Zhao, I never thought your memory could be so powerful. No wonder your grades are so good...”

“Has Miss Sun not gone to school before? Although a good memory was one factor that could influence one’s studies, it isn’t the deciding factor,” Jing Yun Zhao was also smiling, but her voice didn’t match her expression.

Other than one’s memory, their ability to understand was also very important.

She always took first place in her grade not only because of her ability to memorize things, but because she had taken numerous mock papers and done countless questions.

Sun Yan felt stuffy.

“It seems I’ll have to give it my all for the next rounds. I won’t be giving in to you anymore, you have to work hard!” Sun Yan bluffed.

The corner of Jing Yun Zhao’s mouth raised, “So you didn’t use your full strength just now? That’s good, let’s restart the round again then. I don’t want to win a match like this. Miss Sun, it’s better to be true to yourself and to others. To win is to win, and to lose is to lose. Don’t always find excuses for yourself. Can you say with confidence that you were really giving it to me with your expression just now?”

Although Jing Yun Zhao didn’t like to speak much usually, she would never be disadvantaged in terms of how poisonous her tongue could be.

She didn’t want to be a spineless coward, didn’t want to admit to these accusations by lowering her head and bottling everything to herself as she got shot down with every word spoken.

Sun Yan was suddenly embarrassed. She did indeed put in all her effort, it was related to that root of ginseng after all. How could she have given in to Jing Yun Zhao?

The previous words she said were only for her to put up a front and let others see her in a more favourable light. After all, she was already used to speaking like this from a young age.

“Jing Yun Zhao, do you need to be so aggressive? At that time, I had to beg so many people for your sake...” Sun Yan said with a look of disappointment on her face.
