Yang Wei's anger level increased by 222!

Zuan gave him a strange look, casually scribbled some notes on the paper, and finally wrote down the answer: The first peasant woman had 40 eggs, and the second peasant woman had 60 eggs.

Some busybodies took the answers back to check and immediately exclaimed, "You got it right! You got all 20 questions right!"

Everyone in the classroom was shocked and looked at Yang Wei with strange expressions. He had just said in the bet that if the other party could answer all 20 questions correctly, he would quit his job.

Yang Wei's head was buzzing. Everything that happened today was really defying common sense. He originally thought he had just taken on an easy task and could easily step on a useless student, but who knew that the other party would turn the tables and put him in a dilemma.

This plot doesn't make sense. The intelligence report said he was a notorious good-for-nothing in the city, so how come he's so good at arithmetic?

Zu An looked at the elegant Shang Liuyu beside him and asked with a smile, "Teacher Shang, right? You're the referee, so who do you think won?"

“Of course you won.” Shang Liuyu nodded, revealing a smile that only the two of them could understand.

Zu An then looked at Yang Wei: "This is Teacher Yang, right? I think someone said that if I get 20 questions right, he will resign automatically. I wonder if that still counts?"

Yang Wei's face turned bright red, and his middle-parted hair trembled as he said, "You cheated! Yes, you must have cheated!"

At this point, he no longer cared about losing face in front of the goddess; his main concern was preserving his position. Otherwise, he couldn't bear the shame of becoming the first teacher in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty to be dismissed by his students.

"Tch~"

A huge chorus of boos erupted in the classroom, clearly indicating that everyone was quite dissatisfied with his shameless behavior.

Shang Liuyu frowned slightly and couldn't help but say, "Teacher Yang, everyone was watching the whole process. How could he possibly cheat?"

As if he could sense the disdain in the goddess's eyes, Yang Wei smoothed the hair in front of his forehead and hurriedly said, "I remember now, I can actually guess these questions if I'm lucky, and the numbers aren't that big. He can just try the answers one by one."

“Look at the steps he wrote down, can you understand them? Obviously, he’s just guessing.”

Some students carefully examined the process described on Zu'an's exam paper and nodded in agreement. They really couldn't understand it. Was it really just a guess? His luck was just too good! But they heard that he had won 7.5 million taels in two rounds at the Silver Hook Casino. His luck was truly unparalleled.

Zuan couldn't help but shake his head: "Although I knew you were shameless before, I didn't expect you to be this shameless. You can lie through your teeth in front of so many people. Just tell me directly whether what I just did was completely correct?"

“What’s the use of just getting the right answer? If you don’t show the process, you still get zero points.” Yang Wei said with a forced smile, “This is the rule of arithmetic class, mainly to prevent those who copy answers and those like you who just happen to stumble upon the answer.”

Shang Liuyu chuckled and said, "Teacher Yang, what you're saying is a bit off. Even if he's lucky enough to guess one or two correctly, it's impossible for him to guess all 20 questions correctly. Could it be that his method is too novel and no one has seen it before?"

She was very beautiful and possessed a graceful and charming demeanor. Although she spoke only a few words softly, she evoked a sense of agreement in almost everyone present.

"Teacher Shang is right!"

"It's really impossible for it to be such a coincidence."

...

Yang Wei's eyelids twitched, and he felt a surge of anger. Was this woman deliberately trying to oppose him? With his position and reputation at stake, he couldn't care less about any goddess.

His face darkened. "Teacher Shang, you teach foreign languages, so I don't blame you for not understanding arithmetic. But these messy steps he wrote down, let alone me, even the arithmetic teachers at the Royal National Academy in Beijing would never be able to understand them. There is no such solution in the world. What's wrong with me saying he's just guessing? If you don't believe me, ask him to explain what these steps are all about."

He had already made up his mind that no matter whether the other party's words were reasonable or not, he would directly criticize them as utter nonsense. This battle had already staked his entire reputation, so he didn't care about appearances anymore.

Shang Liuyu frowned slightly. After all, the other party was a well-known arithmetic expert in Mingyue City, and his words carried great authority, leaving Shang Liuyu unsure how to help.

She could only look at Zuan beside her. This young man had given her too many surprises, and she wondered how he would handle this.

Zuan said calmly, "With your expertise in arithmetic, you wouldn't understand these processes even if I explained them to you."

Yang Wei laughed angrily: "Haha, did you hear that? What kind of arrogant brat is this? I've never seen such an arrogant student in my life. I'm going to report this to the school and have you expelled to set a good example for the school!"

Yang Wei's anger level has increased by 521!
