Chapter 227 Heartbreaking

As for the opportunity that led the green-clad men to capture this group, it was purely by chance.

Coincidentally, someone discovered that the money wasn't real; coincidentally, someone said they had seen those people using the money; coincidentally, they encountered someone involved who talked about investing; and coincidentally, someone else had a sudden inspiration to investigate the matter. One coincidence after another led to the group being exposed.

The Heavenly Dao, once again concealing its merits and fame: Yes, that's right. As long as someone wants to harm my granddaughter, any coincidences are all my doing. Proud!

So no matter how hard those people thought about it, they never imagined that their exposure wasn't because they hid well, nor because there were problems within their ranks, nor because they had been targeted long ago. It was entirely, well, the work of the culprits working separately!

Who told this person to keep an eye on Little Peach Blossom and her friends, and even try to scheme against them?

So, it's not impossible that we'd suddenly be targeted by the Heavenly Dao.

After all, Grandpa Heaven is so busy, he can't keep an eye on all living beings all the time. It's just that the middle-parted hair is too conspicuous. Of all people to target, he had to target those that Grandpa Heaven is paying special attention to. Who else should he target if not them!

Fortunately, they didn't know; otherwise, they would probably be so angry they'd vomit blood. Not only would they be so angry they'd vomit blood, but they would also make the man with the middle parting feel like he was living a life worse than death. Yes, they could also take revenge on the man with the middle parting on behalf of Heaven, but that would only be possible if they knew.

But do they know?

Unfortunately, I don't know.

Even the guy with the middle parting was just an extra character; how could he compare to the main characters?

But because of this one person, all their hard work was wasted, and they may never see the light of day again!

But there's nothing they can do; they know nothing, and they never will.

Behind the dark iron bars, the group with the middle-parted hair got what they deserved. As for the translators, well, they were just too naive and got fooled by these people. But because they'd worked with them, their reputation is now terrible; everyone avoids them.

Then, the gossipy little peach blossom was caught by the professor.

"Student Lin Xiaotao." The professor was kind and approachable, his wrinkles on his face appearing particularly pronounced with his smile. The other professors around him shared the same expression, and the way they all looked at Xiaotao made her freeze.

"Professors." Little Peach Blossom looked blankly at the professors surrounding her, not quite understanding what was going on, and their smiles were a bit eerie.

Seeing that they had frightened Lin Xiaotao, the professor coughed and finally came to his senses: "Ahem, Lin Xiaotao, it's like this, we have some exercises here, could you see if you can solve them?"

"Sure," Little Peach Blossom nodded, "No problem."

The professors quickly handed the prepared exercises to Xiao Taohua, watching expectantly as she picked up paper and pen to begin solving them.

Xiao Taohua worked quickly and solved problems with ease. Originally, she thought it would take at least two hours to solve so many problems, but no one expected that Xiao Taohua would put down her paper and pen after half an hour and look up at the professor expectantly.

Actually, it was almost lunchtime, and she was a little hungry.

The professors' expressions had long since shifted from shock, excitement, and disbelief to numbness.

These exercises covered a wide range of subjects, including math, physics, and chemistry. They only showed them these problems to see which area Xiao Taohua excelled in, and they would have thought she was a genius even if she only solved half of them. They never expected that Xiao Taohua not only solved them all, but she solved them all correctly.

Not to mention that for some questions, Xiao Taohua used more than one solution approach.

The professors didn't want to talk anymore.

To be a genius to this extent is to be a prodigy.

Even the most respected professors looked at Lin Xiaotao with newfound respect; she was truly a prodigy.

Thinking about how we've neglected this prodigy for over a month, I feel a pang of heartache!

"Professor?" Little Peach Blossom asked when the professor remained silent.

"Do you know you're a genius?" the professor who had asked the question at the beginning asked again.

Everyone else also looked at Lin Xiaotao.

"I know, I've always been a genius."

Yes, not at all modest, but they have the right to be proud.

"Do you know what your genius means?"

"What does that mean? That you learn faster?"

Several professors: ...

What should I do if I feel like vomiting blood?

Is such talent only used to learn faster?

What a waste! Such a waste!

“You should have higher aspirations,” the professor said.

"I don't have any higher ambitions." Yes, Little Peach Blossom is just that laid-back. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed in that small clinic in Xiaolin Village. After all, she is Little Peach Blossom. If she really wanted a good job in the surrounding area, it would be a piece of cake. People would even welcome her warmly and wouldn't think that Little Peach Blossom stole someone else's spot.

After all, this is a little peach blossom.

It's an honor for them that Xiao Taohua can work there; they wouldn't even go if they were asked.

Unfortunately, Little Peach Blossom ended up staying at the clinic in Xiaolin Village, which initially made many people feel regretful, but later they comforted themselves.

No matter what, that's Little Peach Blossom's hometown, yeah, no problem.

Therefore, people from all around the village tend to overthink things to comfort themselves.

As for the professors who heard Xiaotaohua's answer: ...

I am heartbroken! And even more heartbroken!

"May I go back now? It's lunchtime, and I'm a little hungry." Not hearing what the professor said next, Xiao Taohua politely stood up to take her leave.

"Wait a minute."

"Um?"

The professor's voice was somewhat hoarse: "Such talent deserves higher aspirations." He sounded as if he wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet as he said this!

How could such a prodigy have no higher aspirations?

What are these people if they aren't geniuses?

I'm so envious, but I'm also so disappointed in them.

"But I have everything I need," Little Peach Blossom said innocently.

Don't you want to bring glory to your country?

"Yes, I do," Little Peach Blossom replied without hesitation.

The professors were delighted.

"But I'm a student right now." Shouldn't students be studying and eating? What's wrong with that?

Damn, the logic is crystal clear!

"Students can also bring glory to the country."

"Students just need to finish their coursework."

Several professors: ...

"Moreover, I am still a minor."

That makes even more sense now.

"Professor, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I'm really hungry, and my brother and the others are waiting for me." With that, she waved goodbye and left without a trace, amidst the strange silence among the professors...

No, just left like that?

No, all that damned logic is sophistry!

One of the professors finally realized what was happening and tried to bring the person back, but the professor who had spoken at the beginning stopped him.

"Why are you pulling me along? Such extraordinary talent should be seized every moment, otherwise it's all wasted!" The man who spoke was filled with grief and indignation, wishing he could find Lin Xiaotao immediately and then impart all his knowledge to her.
