Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Is This a Photographic Memory?
Zhi’er puffed up her pink cheeks, "Sixth Brother, you still don’t understand!"
"Look, the magpie ruined the test paper, maybe it’s trying to tell Zhi’er that something obtained by cheating doesn’t count."
"In that case, I must go find the teacher and confess!"
After saying this, the little one turned decisively and walked into Yunzhi Pavilion.
Bai Xingye reached out but couldn’t catch her.
"You—!"
He was momentarily at a loss.
Why did it seem to him
that the magpie’s arrival was too coincidental?
As if it wanted to help Bai Zhi’er destroy the evidence, completely there to assist her.
Bai Xingye couldn’t think about it thoroughly, so he could only go in to accompany his sister.
Mo Yanchi saw Bai Zhi’er coming and beamed with joy.
"My little apprentice, your timing is perfect, I have something to tell you."
"I also have something to tell the teacher!"
Mo Yanchi raised his eyebrows, showing considerable interest and said, "Alright, let my little apprentice speak first."
Bai Zhi’er’s voice was soft and sweet, and she lowered her little head, "Teacher, I’m sorry. I cheated in the recent character exam."
As soon as she said this, the whole room was in an uproar.
The teachers exchanged glances, all very surprised.
The little princess seemed obedient and clever, and Mo Yanchi often praised her.
How could she cheat?
The Second Master also looked at Bai Zhi’er with a suspicious gaze.
Mo Yanchi’s eyes were deep, he squatted down and gently held Bai Zhi’er’s shoulders.
He patiently and gently asked, "My little apprentice, tell me, are you facing some difficulty?"
Bai Zhi’er shook her head, "I did cheat. The answers on the test were the ones I memorized after seeing Second Master write them earlier."
Mo Yanchi took a deep breath, "Since my little apprentice wrote them down, why did you choose to confess now?"
Bai Zhi’er opened her little mouth, "Because..."
"Because I did it, it has nothing to do with her!"
She hadn’t finished speaking.
On the side, Bai Xingye had already stepped forward to interrupt.
Mo Yanchi looked at Bai Xingye and asked in confusion, "What’s going on here?"
Bai Zhi’er tugged at Bai Xingye’s hand, "Brother."
Bai Xingye, however, grabbed the little one and pulled her directly behind him.
He lifted his head and looked into Mo Yanchi’s eyes.
"Just now when I came to Yunzhi Pavilion, I saw the questions and answers you prepared, so I memorized them."
"During the exam earlier, I was afraid my sister would be anxious if she couldn’t write the answers, so I wrote them for her."
"She didn’t know about this and came to confess as soon as she realized."
"I heard there are many rules at the academy, and cheating is strictly forbidden. If there’s punishment, just punish me, don’t touch my sister."
Mo Yanchi and the surrounding teachers were momentarily stunned.
They looked at each other.
The Second Master stepped up, surprised, "But the test we prepared had several hundred words."
"You could remember everything just after a few glances?"
Bai Xingye thought he didn’t believe what he said.
He frowned, "What’s so difficult about that? I can recite it now if you let me!"
Everyone gasped.
A photographic memory!
Bai Zhi’er’s big eyes were filled with emotion.
She sweetly said, "Sixth Brother, you’re amazing!"
Mo Yanchi, having understood the entire situation, now had a hint of approval in his eyes.
He asked Bai Zhi’er, "My little apprentice, do you know that before you came in, a magpie flew in and knocked over the inkstone, inadvertently ruining your test paper?"
"And yours was the first one, now completely covered in ink stains, unrecognizable."
