To Shengyang!
"She did this because none of the schools and their students other than Jixia had offended or humiliated us. Student Qin Yan has clear morals. So don't you ever try to reason with her using morals. Also if you are not happy, you can keep your feelings to yourself. You don't need to spoil anybody else's mood including me," Director Guo warned sternly.2
Qin Muran was thus lectured harshly by Director Guo. She was extremely embarrassed and tears couldn't stop felling from her eyes. She excused herself and ran back to her room.
Even after Qin Muran left, the atmosphere still was somewhat tense. Director Guo and Mr. Lao sighed.
Today was such a great day but everyone's mood was spoiled by Qin Muran. Director Guo did not want to let Qin Muran off like this. He made a note in mind to mention this incident to the principal.
At this time, when everyone was in a solemn mood, Qiao Qing came to Qin Yan, "Qin Yan, you're really amazing!" Qiao Qing cupped her face and looked at Qin Yan, who was sitting next to her. She said with admiration, "How can you be so amazing?! I'm going to worship you!" She was good-looking! Her grades were good, her fighting skills were good, and had good morals. Did such a person really exist in this world? Being deskmates with such a person was a test of her spiritual acceptance!
"As long as you work hard, you will also be very amazing." Qin Yan was very friendly to this deskmate who had always been kind to her. She smiled and said to her, "After all, as the saying goes, a genius is one percent talent and ninety-nine percent hard work."
This was Qiao Qing's favorite sentence, and it was written on every textbook. Hearing Qin Yan's words, she blushed and muttered softly, "Although I have always believed in this sentence, I feel that this 1% of talent creates a huge gap."
The other teammates saw Qin Yan chatting with Qiao Qing and couldn't help but come over. The students who were still in school were all very simple-minded. When they saw Qin Yan's abilities, although they did not personally know her, they all extended friendly signals to Qin Yan and asked in a chattering voice, "Qin Yan, how do you usually study? You were so awesome on the stage!"
"Our big boss is out of the world! We mortals can never compare to her!" Han Jun praised Qin Yan wholeheartedly.
Before meeting Qin Yan, Han Jun always used to bully everyone. But today after the competition, he realised the feeling of bringing glory to the school.
When he saw Qin Yan shining on the stage, and heard cheers erupting from the audience, he got goosebumps all over his body. That was the time he had a feeling of Euphoria and extreme excitement. So, he felt that Qin Yan deserves all the praises!
"Exactly! The way you made the Jixia students cry was exceptional!" Chen Shihua said with glowing eyes.
Qin Yan was dumbfounded. 'Student, are you sure you are praising me? Doesn't your words sound like I bullied them?'
Director Guo laughed at their interactions. Finally, the students were back to their old state. He felt very happy and couldn't help smiling from eyes to eyes.
Director Guo stepped forward and said, "Today I am very proud of all of you. Jing Zhao and Wang Yuemu, although you didn't win the rounds, you did your best in gaining points. Any team requires efforts from everyone and you contributed fairly to your team's win." With that he clapped both his hands.
Everybody started clapping for Jing Zhao and Wang Yuemu. The eyes of both the boys turned red. Both of them had a feeling that they were useless. Their team won only because of Qin Yan. But seeing Director Guo acknowledge their efforts, they truly felt grateful.
Since Qin Muran was not present, Director Guo cleverly evaded her topic. He accepted the fact that he was a very vengeful person. Since she had spoiled everyone's mood and stood on moral high grounds, Director Guo was in no mood to praise her.
Director Guo continued, "Lastly, student Qin Yan, you were outstanding in the competition. You did a great job, no matter if it was answering the questions or showing Jixia Academy their place, you were great. You have contributed the most to this victory!" With that he raised the trophy towards Qin Yan.
Before Director Guo could clap, all other students started clapping thunderously. They had tears and shine in their eyes. They admired Qin Yan greatly and there was no doubt in this.
Director Guo and Mr. Lao also clapped heartily.
Qin Yan looked at everyone and smiled. She was happy seeing these bunch of people filled with happiness. She also clapped with everyone and raised the trophy, "To Shengyang!"
Others also cheered, "To Shengyang!"

"Okay, so the competition is over now. We will return to S city tomorrow. You have the evening free to yourselves. You can explore B city if you want or you can also choose to stay in the hotel to rest. It's all up to you," With that Director Guo and Mr. Lao returned to their respective rooms.
All the students started discussing their plans. Most of them were in the favour of exploring the city. They were in their teens unlike the two teachers and had endless energy. They did not need rest and their good moods facilitated their energy levels as well.
"Big Boss, let's have dinner at restaurant which has B city's specialities," Han Jun suggested to Qin Yan.
Pu Xinyan also added, "Yes, let's hang out together and know each other more."
Qiao Qing said, "I will search which places are famous and can be explored in the evening. We can explore the ones that are nearer."
Everybody nodded and started putting forward their ideas.
Just as Qin Yan was about to refuse them, her phone rang.
When she saw the screen, it reflected, "Elder Su."
