Huan Huan stared at the pill in the jade box curiously.
“What is this? It smells so good!”
Qin Chuan smiled. “This is called the Brainiac Pill.”
“Brainiac Pill?”
Qin Chuan smiled and nodded his head, “Eating it will improve your IQ[1], making you the smartest person in the world.
“In the future, you’ll be able to understand all the knowledge in the textbooks once you read them. You’ll get full marks for all your exams.”
“Really?” Huan Huan’s eyes were bright. She was skeptical.
“Of course it’s true.” Qin Chuan looked sincere.
This pill was actually called the Enlightenment Pill. It was specifically used to improve the intelligence of cultivators and their comprehension.
But Huan Huan was, after all, an ordinary person. Every medicine had its own toxic dose. If she were to consume it directly, it would be dangerous.
Hence, Qin Chuan made some minor changes to the Enlightenment Pill. He reduced the medicinal properties of the pill and changed some of the ingredients, making it suitable for an ordinary person.
Since it would help improve intelligence and Huan Huan was a student, Qin Chuan decided to change the name of the Enlightenment Pill on the spot, naming it the Brainiac Pill.
Wang Jiajun, who was standing behind Huan Huan, felt that Qin Chuan’s words sounded familiar.
It seemed very similar to those who recommended health supplements to the elderly.
Meanwhile, Wang Zhixing was particularly surprised.
He was familiar with medicinal pills and had never expected Qin Chuan to give them to his granddaughter.
“Huan Huan, quickly say thank you,” Wang Zhixing immediately said.
Huan Huan was very obedient. “Thank you, brother.”
Qin Chuan smiled, closed the jade box, and placed it back into Huan Huan’s hands.
When he saw this, Wang Zhixing secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He had feared Qin Chuan would go back on his words.
Then, he urged everyone to have dinner.
…
At the dining table.
“Jiajun, since you’ve decided not to return to the police station, what do you plan to do in the future?” Wang Zhixing asked.
“I don’t know yet. I think I’ll try to become a private detective for now!”
“I see! Actually, being a private investigator isn’t too bad. There isn’t much work pressure, and you’ll have a lot of free time. It’s pretty good.”
“Oh, right, Dad! Huan Huan is going on vacation in a few days. I’ll ask Lin Juan to apply for leave and I’ll bring them to the beach to play. Dad, you should join us!”
“Yes! Grandpa, the beach is very fun. Let’s go to the sea together,” Huan Huan said excitedly.
Wang Zhixing cast a glance at Qin Chuan. Considering that he still had to cultivate, he probably didn’t have the time.
Qin Chuan spoke, “Grandpa Wang, I think it’s good for a family to go out and relax. It will help you bond. You can go with ease!”
“Alright… alright then!” Wang Zhixing understood Qin Chuan’s intentions.
Ever since his wife passed on, he had been living alone all these years.
Now that his son had given up his job and suggested that the whole family go on a trip together, he was naturally very willing to do so.
Most importantly, Qin Chuan had agreed to it as well. In that instant, he felt exceptionally happy.
That night, Wang Zhixing was so glad that he drank several bottles of spirits.
As his son, Wang Jiajun would naturally go all out to accompany his father.
In the end, Wang Jiajun couldn’t handle the alcohol and passed out.
Wang Zhixing, on the other hand, was brimming with energy and vitality. His mind was exceptionally clear. He was completely unaffected.
“Dad, we’ll be heading back first. We’ll come over another day.”
“Juan! Drive safely. Remember to drive slowly.”
“Dad, I know. You drank a lot too. Hurry up and go upstairs to rest!”
“I know my own body. That bit of alcohol is nothing.”
“Dad, we’re going!”
“Goodbye, Grandpa!”
“Mm! Goodbye, Huan Huan.”
“Oh right, Huan Huan! Grandfather still has something to tell you!”
Wang Zhixing leaned forward and whispered in Huan Huan’s ear, “Huan Huan, listen to Grandpa. When you go back, immediately eat the pill that Brother Qin gave you.”
Huan Huan stared blankly at Wang Zhixing.
When the car started, Wang Zhixing shouted in an exceptionally serious tone, “Huan Huan, remember that.”
As he watched them leave, the smile on Wang Zhixing’s face gradually faded.
Qin Chuan walked down the stairs.
“Sect Master, do you think Jiajun can start cultivating?” Wang Zhixing asked.
“If he is willing, I have no objections.” Qin Chuan casually replied.
“After we get back from the trip, I’ll find a time to talk to him.
“Since he doesn’t want to go back to being a police officer, cultivating is a good option. ”
“Mm! Then are you going back to the sect or staying here?”
…
Eight days later, vacations successively began for all schools across the country—high schools, middle schools, and primary schools.
Beichuan City Number One Primary School ended the final examination. Some boys and girls walked out of the examination hall happily, while others looked dejected.
“Huan Huan!” Wang Jiajun was already waiting at the school gate.
“Huan Huan, how did you do this time? It shouldn’t be a problem for you to get into the top ten!” Wang Jiajun had always been very confident in his daughter’s results.
Although she could not get first place, she would always remain in the top ten places of the cohort.
This time, Huan Huan was frowning, looking like she had screwed up the exam.
Wang Jiajun had gone down this road before and was very open-minded. He comforted her, “It’s just an exam. If you don’t do well this time, you can work harder next time.”
Huan Huan shook her head. “Dad, it’s not what you think.”
Wang Jiajun raised an eyebrow. “Then what?”
“The questions for the exam were too simple. They’re like questions for kindergarten, not third grade. They weren’t like my other exams.
“I was just wondering if the teacher gave us the wrong set of questions. ”
Wang Jiajun smiled. “If the test was so simple, why do you look like you did badly? Shouldn’t you be happy? You made Dad worry for nothing.”
“Dad, think about it! If the questions are so simple, it means that there’s no competitiveness, and the scores won’t be spaced out.”
Wang Jiajun thought for a while. That seemed to be the case.
“Forget about it. Since the exams are over, I’ll take you to the seafood restaurant and treat you to big lobsters.”
“Oh yeah!”
…
Two days later, the results were out.
But only Huan Huan’s were missing.
Because of this, Wang Jiajun went to the school and found her form teacher to ask about the situation.
“Ma’am, why aren’t Huan Huan’s results out yet?” Wang Jiajun asked with concern.
The form teacher lifted her silver-framed glasses and took out Huan Huan’s paper from the drawer.
“This is Huan Huan’s test paper. Take a look for yourself,” the form teacher said with an expression.
Wang Jiajun picked up the test paper and flipped through it. The test paper for the third grade was quite easy for him.
After all, he had graduated from a top university. When he looked at the question, the answer would pop up in his head.
He finished looking through the test. He thought that all of Huan Huan’s answers were correct.
But, these weren’t the kindergarten questions like Huan Huan had mentioned. Some of the questions were still a little difficult.
She got everything right, so why didn’t they release her results?
This puzzled him.
“Ma’am, aren’t Huan Huan’s answers pretty good? I think they’re all correct.” Wang Jiajun smiled awkwardly.
The teacher said in a sarcastic tone, “That’s right. It was done quite well. She gave the correct answer for every question. She completed the test very cleanly.”
Wang Jiajun thought he had caught the teacher’s strange tone.
Still, he wanted to be respectful to his daughter’s teacher. He still smiled. “I don’t understand what you mean.”
The teacher huffed coldly. “I know that Huan Huan is very outstanding. Her upbringing is also very good. After all, you’re Beichuan’s… Director… Oh, you no longer are.”
At that moment, Wang Jiajun’s face suddenly darkened, and anger rose in his heart.
“I’m asking about my daughter’s results now. Please don’t change the topic.
“Also, a statement has been released regarding my matter.
“As a teacher, an educator, please pay attention to your tone and speech.”
The teacher lifted her glasses and smiled disdainfully. “I won’t mark Huan Huan’s test paper.”
“As for a reason, look at these questions yourself. There are only answers with no working. Those who understand will naturally understand, so I won’t say much.[a]
“I admit that Huan Huan usually has good grades, but using such tricks in order to get first place? Do you really think that we’re blind? ”
Wang Jiajun finally understood why Huan Huan’s results were not released.
“Are you saying that Huan Huan cheated in the exam?”
“I never said that!” The teacher shrugged.
“I understand.” Wang Jiajun took the test paper and walked out of the office angrily.
After he left, the form teacher muttered to herself, “If you were still the Director, I wouldn’t have said anything.
“But now… you’re nothing. ”
[a]What is she trying to say here?
