He glanced in the direction of the surveillance camera, hid his hand under the desk, quickly threw the crumpled paper over, then swiftly picked up his pen and pretended to answer the questions nonchalantly.

Wenling stood on the podium, looking at the students below, but did not let his guard down even though they were all focused on answering the questions.

Of course, Xie Li's seat direction was something he had been keeping an eye on.

He had noticed Qian Shujian's little tricks, of course. He frowned as soon as the other person tore the note, but didn't expose him immediately because he wanted to see who the other cheater was.

Unexpectedly, Qian Shujian crumpled the paper into his sleeve and then hid it under his desk. The obstruction of his view prevented him from seeing it clearly.

His eyes narrowed quickly, and he walked towards Xie Li's position.

He raised his hand and tapped on the desk, his eyes cold: "Hand over the note."

Xie Li held a crumpled piece of paper in his hand, raised his eyes slightly, and calmly asked, "Is there something you need?"

Wen Ling sneered inwardly. He was putting on quite a show, but unfortunately, he wouldn't buy it. He couldn't let Xie Li fool him so easily with such a good handle.

"Hand it over!" The voice unconsciously took on a stern tone. "I saw everything you were doing!"

Another teacher who was proctoring the exam quickly calmed down the other students and walked over.

However, he was deeply impressed by Xie Li, who had cleared the SSS-level difficulty mode of the encyclopedia. How could he possibly cheat?

"Could there be some misunderstanding?" he asked, glancing at the crumpled paper in Xie Li's hand. "Maybe it's just draft paper..."

Wenling interrupted him: "I have eyes, and I have my own judgment."

Seeing that Xie Li remained unmoved, his expression grew even colder: "Will you hand it over yourself, or should I search you?"

"I won't say much, because I want to save your self-respect. Don't blame me for being impolite later."

Xie Li: "Wait, are you saying I cheated? Do you have any evidence?"

Caught cheating, yet still so defiant? How can she be so shameless, trying to deny it even with irrefutable evidence?

Wenling had grown impatient and forgotten his past lessons, so he snatched the crumpled paper from Xie Li's hand.

"This is the evidence!"

Xie Li slightly raised the corners of his lips, propped his head up with one hand, and quietly looked at Wen Ling.

Beside her, Ming Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Yifan glanced at Qian Shujian without making a sound, while Qian Shujian buried himself in answering questions, seemingly unconcerned about all the commotion.

Wenling unfolded the paper and paused, his expression instantly vanishing from the righteous and awe-inspiring facade he had been wearing.

There were some words written on the crumpled paper, but they were not any of the formulas or answers he expected for the science exam.

Another proctor glanced at it and was also a little confused. What was all this?

It looks like some plants... uh, probably medicinal herbs. There are a few names written on it, they seem to be Chinese herbal medicines, but I can't understand them at all.

Next to it was a huge furnace, with a clear structure and perfect details, comparable to computer graphics, but it was clearly hand-drawn, and might even have been drawn by Xie Li just now, because the notes had blurred when touched.

The teacher was completely bewildered: "Why are you drawing this for the exam?"

Xie Li: "Is there a written rule against drawing? I just wanted to relax a bit."

No, is this a question of whether or not it's allowed to draw? You're taking an exam, an exam! He knows how difficult this science exam is; he just opened the paper and glanced at it several times, becoming more and more interested the more he looked.

I almost got the urge to sit down and try answering the questions myself.

With such a high level of difficulty and a large number of questions, instead of making good use of the time to do the questions, you're just idly drawing?
