Chapter 1250 - 1248: Dragged into the Water
"After you left, I haven’t encountered any expert causing trouble at the school. Ask the children if they’ve seen anything," Old Monster was momentarily stunned when Lin Feng suddenly asked this, then immediately relayed his thoughts, not wanting to delay Lin Feng’s matters, wondering if something had happened again?
"Teacher Lin, we didn’t bump into anyone either!"
"We patrol in shifts every day, there really haven’t been any suspicious figures."
"Teacher Lin, has something happened?"
...
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s question, the children quickly responded one after another; indeed, they had not seen any experts, and although many journalists had suddenly appeared in the school, these were all ordinary people, whom they had never paid much attention to.
"It’s nothing, I was just asking casually." Seeing that both Old Monster and the children had said this, Lin Feng probably understood the reason behind it; whoever tampered with the situation must have fled immediately after, leaving no traces, and such matters were most difficult to handle, it was hard to trace these people.
After concluding that there was nothing amiss, Lin Feng began providing guidance to the children and the students of the special abilities class in their cultivation, and time passed by in this way.
In the blink of an eye, night had fallen, and Lin Feng found that Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei had not yet returned. After greeting the children, he left to see if Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei had encountered anything.
At this moment, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei were in the dormitory at the Language Institute, having heart-to-heart talks with the students, trying to get to the bottom of what exactly caused the students to underperform during the exams. As they were discussing, Lin Feng appeared beside them.
"Did you find out anything?" Lin Feng asked indifferently, looking at Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei chatting with the students. He would follow any clue that emerged.
"It seems like the students were influenced by something during the exam. Suddenly, they forgot everything they had studied, but these past few days they’ve been gradually recovering. Lin Feng, what do you think this situation is about?" Ding Wan’er immediately answered upon seeing Lin Feng, equally baffled by the students’ accounts, not understanding why such a thing would happen.
"Lin Feng, I think there’s something fishy about this matter. It can’t just be a coincidence that the problem happened during the exam!" Leng Mei added from the side. Though she didn’t know exactly what the issue was, she felt that there was surely something amiss.
"Teacher Lin, we really don’t know what happened; our minds just went blank at the time, unable to recall anything."
"Teacher Lin, for some reason, it feels like our learning capability has decreased a lot."
"Teacher Lin, it’s the same for all of us, though we’ve started to recover now, we’re still far from our previous level."
"It’s really strange; we can’t even understand our own test papers from before..."
...
The students in front of him were also speaking one after another at this time. They were truly frustrated and extremely dejected. They had eagerly anticipated the level examination, only to encounter such a mishap, leaving them deeply vexed.
After listening to the two women and the students, Lin Feng’s brow furrowed. He was certain that the matter was definitely man-made. After giving it a brief thought, he said to Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei, "I suspect this is man-made, but it’s difficult to remedy the situation as it stands now, especially with journalists wanting interviews, making it even trickier to handle. Wait here for me, I’m going to check if there’s any clue by the examination hall."
Having said that, Lin Feng vanished in a flash from the dormitory building, arriving at the academic building, where he began to carefully inspect the examination halls. This time, Lin Feng noticed something special; all these examination halls were on the same floor and adjacent to one another, which immediately gave Lin Feng a rough idea.
With this thought, he immediately called Ding Wan’er’s phone.
"Wan’er, bring the student who was most affected over here, I’m at the academic building’s examination hall." Lin Feng was direct, wanting to verify if his guess was correct.
"Alright, I’ll send him over right away." Although Ding Wan’er did not understand why Lin Feng was doing this, she immediately agreed and arranged for the most seriously affected student from the dormitory, named Sun Feng, to go find Lin Feng.
Sun Feng, of course, wouldn’t question the words of the principal and hurriedly proceeded to the academic building as per Ding Wan’er’s instructions, arriving smoothly on the third floor where Lin Feng was.
"Teacher Lin, did you need me for something?" Sun Feng, tall and thin with a very ordinary appearance, asked strangely upon seeing Lin Feng, puzzled about why Lin Feng had called him over.
"Do you remember where you sat during the exam?" Lin Feng asked directly.
"Of course, I’ll take you there." Although Sun Feng didn’t understand Lin Feng’s intention, he promptly led Lin Feng to where he had sat during the exam.
When Lin Feng saw Sun Feng’s position during the examination, his heart grew even more certain of his judgement. He smiled at Sun Feng, then gently patted his shoulder. There was no need for words; he fully understood what kind of trickery had been employed.
Sun Feng felt puzzled, not understanding why Lin Feng would pat his shoulder. But at that moment, he suddenly felt his mind clear up. The things he had learned before returned to his thoughts. This made Sun Feng incredibly happy. Looking at Teacher Lin, he said excitedly, "Teacher Lin, my mind is so clear now. It would have been great if it was like this during the exam. What a pity, it’s too late now!"
Sun Feng now wore an expression of deep frustration and regret. During the actual exam, his mind had inexplicably become muddled. Now it had suddenly cleared, and he could remember everything he had learned before, but what was the use of being clear-headed now? The grade examination was already over, thinking about these things was pointless.
Seeing Sun Feng’s current state, Lin Feng smiled faintly, fully understanding what was going on in Sun Feng’s mind, and comforted him, "It’s okay, don’t overthink it. There will be a retest. The reason you didn’t do well in the exam is that someone tampered with it."
"Impossible, the exam takes place only once a year. If we fail this time, we can only wait for the next year. Moreover, the key issue is that even though we now know there was tampering in the exam, the outside world won’t believe it, so a retest is simply out of the question."
Sun Feng voiced out his inner thoughts with a vexed expression. He couldn’t understand why someone would tamper with their exam, it was utterly despicable, wasting a whole year of their time. How could someone be so malicious!
Hearing Sun Feng say this, and seeing his vexed look, Lin Feng spoke calmly, "If they don’t believe it, then we’ll just have to retest and show them your true abilities. Then, they will all shut up!"
These words made Sun Feng freeze, completely befuddled by what Lin Feng meant. A retest seemed impossible, so why was Teacher Lin still talking like this? Sun Feng thought, what exactly is Teacher Lin planning to do?
Lin Feng saw the expression on Sun Feng’s face but didn’t want to explain too much. He directly asked Sun Feng, "In this matter, which schools were the most troublesome? Do you know?"
"Of course, I know. They are Tianhai Vocational College, Tianhai Jiaogong University, Tianhai Ship Engineering University... Teacher Lin, what do you want to know this for?" As Sun Feng heard Lin Feng ask this question, he was initially stunned, but then he quickly shared what he knew with Lin Feng. However, in the end, he couldn’t hold back his curiosity and wanted to know what Lin Feng was going to do.
"You’ll know by tomorrow. Let’s go back together." After saying this, Lin Feng led the still confused Sun Feng away. He had already made his preparations for what to do next. By tomorrow, he would stir up the waters of Tianhai, and then no one would oppose the retest.
Soon, the two of them headed back to the dormitory. By then, the sky had completely darkened, and they returned to the villa with Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei.
"Lin Feng, what are we going to do about this?"
"Yeah, Lin Feng, tell us."
The moment Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei entered the villa, they couldn’t hold back anymore and grabbed Lin Feng to question him. Lin Feng hadn’t said a word on the way back, making them anxious, really eager to know what method Lin Feng would use to solve the current issue.
"It’s simple, drag the schools that jumped the highest into the water with us, and then force them to co-sign for a retest with us," said Lin Feng to Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei with a faint smile, and then he spoke very seriously. He had already thought about exactly what to do.
"What does that mean?"
"Drag them into the water too?"
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei were both stunned. They didn’t understand how Lin Feng planned to do this, dragging those boisterous schools into the water—how was that even possible when they had no problems...?
"You will naturally understand by tomorrow. Now, I’m going to cook for you both," Lin Feng intentionally left them hanging with his words before turning around to cook for the women.
"What exactly is he going to do?"
"It’s so frustrating; I don’t understand either..."
"The other universities are now laughing at us. Lin Feng wants to drag them down too?"
"That seems utterly impossible. How are we supposed to drag them down when they’re perfectly fine?"
...
After Lin Feng entered the kitchen, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei began to discuss among themselves, but no matter how they talked, they couldn’t come to any conclusion. In the end, they had both given up entirely...
By the next morning, at the very center of the Heaven Profound Spirit Immortal Formation, Lin Feng made special preparations. Under the control of his Divine Sense, he had the two Great Demons lay out many of the talismans he had crafted throughout Tianhai City. Combined with the Heaven Profound Spirit Immortal Formation here, he could extend his Divine Sense across the entire Tianhai!
The two Great Demons didn’t say a word, staying obediently by Lin Feng’s side, while Lin Feng now sat on the ground with his eyes closed like a statue, his Divine Sense enveloping the entire Tianhai...
