Chapter 200: Chapter 200 It Was My Doing

"The surveillance in the archives indeed captured nothing because someone had changed the position of the camera ahead of time, that is to say... the camera ended up pointing at a blind spot."

"But what I have here is different."

Shi Yaoguang purposely acted mysterious, which irritated everyone greatly.

"What’s so different about it?"

"If you’ve already brought the stuff, why play coy?"

"You’re not setting up some sort of suspenseful plot, are you?"

"Most likely just showing off."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, but Shi Yaoguang remained unhurried.

"What’s the rush? If the main party isn’t anxious, what are you nervous about?"

Accompanying her, Mu Tiantian chuckled and said, "Isn’t there a saying, ’The Emperor isn’t in a hurry but his eunuchs are’? I think that’s exactly what they are like."

The eunuchs: "..."

Shi Yiqing: "..."

She felt Shi Yaoguang was implying something about her but had no evidence.

"What exactly do you mean?"

Shi Yiqing was getting somewhat anxious too.

She had no idea what Shi Yaoguang really wanted to do.

But...

She felt slightly panicked at the bottom of her heart.

She always worried that something beyond her control would happen.

Before Shi Yaoguang could speak, Mu Tiantian did.

"Of course, Yaoguang came here to find you."

Shi Yiqing asked weakly, "To find me for what?"

Grinning, Mu Tiantian said, "Isn’t it because the results of the monthly exam are out? With Yaoguang scoring so well, it’s inevitable some will be jealous and suspect cheating or copying. This isn’t a small matter; we have to take it seriously."

"So... what about it?"

"So, that’s why we came to find you, of course."

Shi Yiqing still didn’t quite understand, "Find me for what?"

Mu Tiantian puffed her cheeks slightly and huffed, "Are you really clueless, or just pretending?"

Of course, Shi Yiqing really didn’t understand.

With her level of wit, she couldn’t figure out Shi Yaoguang’s intentions.

Not knowing how Shi Yaoguang would play her hand made it impossible for her to respond.

She could only wait anxiously for the next move.

After enjoying her fearful expression for enough, Mu Tiantian finally spoke, "Ay, how can you be so dull? Isn’t Yaoguang’s intention obvious enough?"

It wasn’t just Shi Yiqing; even the other students watching were completely befuddled.

Shi Yaoguang’s intention was obvious?

How was her intention obvious?

They had no idea what she was planning to do at all.

Seeing the crowd’s confused faces, Mu Tiantian sighed resignedly and said, "I can’t believe you’re all so dense."

"Well, since you’re so clueless, I guess I’ll have to tell you myself."

As she said this, she smiled proudly, "Do you know why Yaoguang scored seven hundred and forty points this time?"

"Why?"

"Because... she did it on purpose!"

The onlookers: "As expected!!"

Mu Tiantian was pleased, "You guessed it?"

The person who spoke said, "Who doesn’t know it was intentional?"

Blinking, Mu Tiantian asked, "How do you know? Yaoguang only mentioned it in our class. Did someone deliberately tell you?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Tang Jiu, who had live-streamed Shi Yaoguang drawing wild chickens, said, "We just guessed. She intentionally cheated to score seven hundred and forty points, but as for what she wanted to do, we’re not worms in her stomach; how would we know?"

Mu Tiantian was dumbfounded, "Excaseme? What are you talking about? I don’t understand?"

Tang Jiu scoffed, "Talking about what? Talking about Shi Yaoguang cheating!"

"What, Shi Yaoguang came over, isn’t it to apologize to us?"

"Apologize?" Mu Tiantian burst into laughter, "Yaoguang did nothing wrong, apologize? What the heck is there to apologize for?"

Tang Jiu was speechless, "She cheated, and she doesn’t need to apologize?"

"Eh, seriously." Mu Tiantian hummed, "How else to say your brains aren’t that bright? Has reading made you stupid?"

Everyone: "..."

Angry, itching to retaliate, but helpless.

Mu Tiantian continued: "Not to mention, with Yaoguang’s intelligence, she basically doesn’t need to cheat, even if she really did cheat, it’s not something you people would notice."

After she finished speaking, she lightly slapped her own mouth: "Ptooey ptooey, I misspoke, our Yaoguang would never cheat!"

"As for your curiosity about our purpose, hehehe, it’s actually very simple."

She sneered with a malicious grin, "We, Yaoguang, came to seek justice for everyone here, remember to thank her later."

"What do you mean by that? She is seeking justice for us?"

A few people looked at her with eyes full of skepticism.

Mu Tiantian chuckled, "Right."

"Aren’t you guys suspecting that someone cheated, which is why you dropped in the rankings? Yaoguang is here to help you reclaim justice."

"Mu Tiantian, you’re not here to joke around, right?"

Tang Jiu retorted with scorn, "That Shi Yaoguang, helping us seek justice?"

"Her not cheating is the biggest justice she could do us."

Mu Tiantian rolled her eyes, "You idiot."

Tang Jiu: "..."

She couldn’t be bothered to deal with Tang Jiu anymore, and turned to Shi Yaoguang and said, "Yaoguang, look, they don’t believe you, come on, show them what you’re made of!"

Tang Jiu: "Tch, putting on an act."

Mu Tiantian curled her lip, "Just you wait and see."

...

Shi Yiqing looked at Mu Tiantian’s confident expression, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Shi Yaoguang couldn’t possibly have any real evidence, could she?

Thinking this, she saw Shi Yaoguang open something from the disk.

From the shooting angle, it seemed to be...

Under a certain tree opposite the archives room.

Just seeing one angle was enough to send shivers down Shi Yiqing’s spine.

She had maneuvered the potentially incriminating surveillance camera to a blind spot, but had never guarded against Shi Yaoguang following her.

Yes, Shi Yiqing chalked it all up to Shi Yaoguang’s stalking.

She glared at Shi Yaoguang with resentful eyes, her heart filled with peak hatred.

"I’m not seeing things, am I? The person entering the archive room is..."

The surveillance... more precisely, the video footage quickly revealed a figure.

After some had seen it, they looked at Shi Yiqing dubiously with glances that measured her up.

Being recognized, Shi Yiqing felt a sense of relief, as if a weight had lifted.

Before anyone could continue watching, she spoke up, "That’s me."

Everyone looked at her in astonishment, "Is that really you?"

Shi Yiqing pursed her lips, her head down in a panicked expression.

Seeing her like this, the way everyone looked at her instantly changed.

Shi Yiqing, afraid that Shi Yaoguang would pin everything on her, took the blame upon herself before Yaoguang could speak.

"It’s my fault, I let everyone down, it’s my... wrong..."

With a choked voice, she finished speaking and was already in tears.

The students from the Rocket Class looked at her unbelievingly, "Why would you do this?"
