Chapter 696: Chapter 0696: Tang Ming Wins

Mo Hongsheng had been unaware of Xiao Wen’s actions, but now that everything had come to light, even if he felt anger, he definitely wouldn’t reproach Xiao Wen in public. Instead, he took responsibility for everything very capably. His ability to control the vast Jun Tianhao hotel was certainly no accident.

"You’re right, a good phrase indeed, ’All’s fair in war’. I accept it."

Tang Ming smiled and waved his hand to stop Li Xiaoli and Chen Cang, who still wanted to say something.

"Hmph, that’s right, we accept it."

Chen Cang nodded fiercely and said with a cold laugh, "So what if you’ve beaten the Chen Group, I’ll make you cry without knowing where to turn."

"Let’s look at the results."

Mo Hongsheng ignored Chen Cang and turned his head to calmly look at the announcement board, feeling very dissatisfied with Xiao Wen’s behavior in his heart.

"Yes, let’s look at the results. I’m not necessarily bound to lose."

Tang Ming smiled and didn’t want to waste his breath either.

Halting their quarrel, Liu Mengting and the other two girls looked anxiously at the announcement board. No matter the outcome of the bet, they were all eager to see whether Tang Ming or Mo Hongsheng had performed better in this final exam, and they were very hopeful that Tang Ming could pull off a miracle.

After a while, when the appointed time arrived, the school staff members lifted the red cloth from the announcement board.

Liu Mengting and the others didn’t care about their own scores at all, their eyes fixed intently on the very top of the list.

"Ahhh! Brother Tang Ming won!"

A moment later, Li Xiaoli screamed excitedly.

"First place, Tang Ming is number one in the school year, that’s great."

Liu Mengting clenched her fists with excitement.

"This is just wonderful!" As she saw Tang Ming’s name at the top of the list, Xia Wei’er’s eyes couldn’t help but moisten.

"This surprise is a bit too much." Seeing that Tang Ming was actually first in the school year, Chen Cang completely blanked out, standing there in disarray, dumbfounded.

The Chen Group had already been ruined by him, but now that Tang Ming was actually first in the school year, it meant that the Chen Group was still the Chen Family’s asset and hadn’t been lost to Mo Hongsheng. Did that mean that the mess he’d caused in the last two days had to be cleaned up by the Chen Family? Truly, his luck had run out.

"I actually lost."

Mo Hongsheng stared at the list, his score ranking second.

"How could this be?"

Xiao Wen, pale-faced, muttered to himself in disbelief, "Only one point apart, how is this possible, how is this possible?"

Tang Ming’s score this time was 707 points, while Mo Hongsheng scored 706. Tang Ming was only one point ahead of Mo Hongsheng, yet it was this single point that decided the outcome of a grand bet.

"Impossible, this absolutely can’t be possible."

Xiao Wen suddenly turned to Tang Ming and shouted through clenched teeth, "You didn’t answer the listening and writing sections in the English exam; that’s a loss of fifty points. Even if you scored full marks in the rest of the exams, it would only add up to seven hundred points. Where did these extra 7 points come from? There must be a problem."

On hearing this, everyone looked at Tang Ming with doubt, and Mo Hongsheng was also puzzled by this question.

"This can only mean I’m lucky."

Tang Ming smiled lightly and breathed a sigh of relief. Passing Mo Hongsheng’s exam was purely by luck. Before the results were announced, he too was sweating bullets in secret. He didn’t care about losing money, but if he lost Xiaobai, those three girls would definitely fight him to the death.

"What do you mean?"

Mo Hongsheng asked Tang Ming, puzzled.

The others didn’t understand either. How should they interpret Tang Ming’s "lucky"?

"It’s quite simple, it means although I didn’t hear the listening part, all the listening questions were multiple choice, and the answers I wrote were all guesses."

Tang Ming smiled and said with a sense of wonder, "To get this score, I must have guessed at least fifteen out of twenty listening questions correctly. That really is lucky."

"That’s possible?"

Zhou Dafu looked at Tang Ming with a face full of shock. He couldn’t believe that someone could guess fifteen questions right on the listening test without even hearing it. That luck was too unbelievable.

"You really are impressive; I still lost to you..." Upon hearing this, Mo Hongsheng twitched at the corner of his mouth. If what Tang Ming said was true, his luck was just too outrageous.

"Just average, I won this time purely by luck, thanks for being generous." Tang Ming grinned, looking indifferently at Mo Hongsheng. Although he spoke of luck, without absolute strength, even with good fortune, he couldn’t have scored so high in the other subjects. In the end, it was his formidable strength that counted.

"You’re just one point ahead, what’s there to be smug about?"

Xiao Wen looked at Tang Ming with disdain and unwilling acceptance.

"Hehe, if someone hadn’t played dirty tricks, letting Tang Ming have no time to finish the test, then who knows how many more points he would’ve scored than your young master."

Liu Mengting laughed mockingly with a strange tone.

"Humph humph, how do you feel now, convinced or not?" Li Xiaoli looked triumphantly at Mo Hongsheng and scoffed, "My brother Tang Ming scored full marks in the foreign language exam during midterms. If he had enough time, his score would definitely be higher than it is now."

"He scored full marks in foreign languages during the midterms?" Mo Hongsheng frowned and looked uncertainly at Xiao Wen.

"According to intelligence, that is the case." Xiao Wen nodded with an ugly expression. Knowing that foreign language was Tang Ming’s strongest suit was precisely why she took action just before the foreign language test.

Hearing this, Mo Hongsheng’s eyebrows lifted, his frustration eased. Before he was somewhat unconvinced, but now knowing how well Tang Ming did in foreign languages, if given enough time, his score would certainly be even higher. In terms of true ability, Tang Ming also surpassed him.

"Tang Ming, I am thoroughly convinced this time."

Mo Hongsheng said to Tang Ming grandly, "In academics, I, Mo Hongsheng, have never been convinced by anyone, but this time I truly admire you."

"It was just a fluke." Tang Ming smiled and walked towards Mo Hongsheng, "Even though I am only one point ahead, it seems I have won the bet. You can tell me that piece of information that can help me restore my cultivation, right?"

"A bet’s a bet. There will be a Martial Arts grand event in a while, where all the big sects and families from the Martial Arts world will send representatives to participate. At the grand event, every big force will bring out some rare treasures for trading and showcasing. I believe there will definitely be something that can help you restore your cultivation," Mo Hongsheng said candidly, quietly passing the information to Tang Ming.

"So you have no way to help me restore my cultivation, and you just tell me this vague news?"

Tang Ming was taken aback and stared at Mo Hongsheng dissatisfied.

"I never said I could restore your cultivation." Mo Hongsheng gave Tang Ming a glance, speaking righteously, "I only said I would tell you a message that could help you restore your cultivation. Now I’ve told you, and I have fulfilled the terms of the bet. Also, do you think just anyone knows about this news? Try asking Xin Badao and Chu Batian if they know about this event."
