Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Exposing the Truth 1_1

The Guzheng Art Festival had officially ended, and all the classes orderly exited the auditorium.

Just as Xia Ningxing’s class reached the entrance, they were stopped by the judges of the Guzheng Art Festival.

"Student Xia Ningxing, could you please wait before you leave."

"May I ask what the matter is?" Xia Ningxing took a step forward, approaching the leading official with slight confusion.

"The thing is, Xia," they said, "we’ve seen your superb guzheng skills and would like to invite you to participate in the upcoming provincial guzheng contest. Would you be willing?" The judges eagerly extended the invitation to her.

It was coincidental that the provincial guzheng contest would be happening soon, and since she was now ranked first in the city, she naturally could be sent directly to the province.

If she advanced at the provincial level, she could then go to Capital City for the national competition.

"Don’t worry, we will cover all your food, lodging, and travel expenses. Your abilities are truly outstanding, and we believe that you will also certainly win first place in the provincial guzheng contest. At that time, you can get an extra ten points for your middle school exams, and also a prize of three thousand yuan." The judges, worried that her family was from a rural area, quickly added these details, fearful she might decline the competition due to financial concerns.

Ten points!

And three thousand yuan!

The classmates, who were originally just onlookers, suddenly had their eyes widen with envy as they listened, looking at Xia Ningxing with admiration.

It was well-known that during middle school exams, even one point could eliminate a whole playground full of competitors, let alone ten points—how many people that must be!

As for the three thousand yuan, considering the average wage of two to three hundred yuan at the time, three thousand was enough for a worker to go without eating or drinking for a whole year.

Xia Jiaojiao was so envious she wanted to grind her molars to dust, her eyes turning red with jealousy.

She now regretted it so much that her insides were turning green. If she hadn’t changed Xia Ningxing’s program, then Xia Ningxing might not have been able to win first place.

What’s more significant was that she wouldn’t have been affected by Xia Ningxing’s performance and perhaps, she would have been the one to take the first place in the city.

Then, she would be the one being recommended for the provincial guzheng competition!

The thought that she had personally handed over such a good opportunity to this vile creature made Xia Jiaojiao’s blood boil.

She truly hated it!

It felt as if her insides were on fire.

Xia Ningxing’s gaze lightly skimmed over Xia Jiaojiao’s distorted face and then, with a smile, she accepted the invitation letter: "Thank you, teachers, I will participate."

Later, Xia Ningxing indeed won first place at the provincial level and was recommended for the national competition.

Now returning to the topic at hand, after going back to her own school from City No. 1 Middle School, Xia Ningxing walked straight up to the desk of the class arts committee member, tapping on his desk with her pale fingers.

The young girl’s smile was ambiguous as she said, "Come out with me for a moment."

Although she had managed to turn danger into safety this time, sorry, she didn’t plan on just letting off those who had schemed against her.

The reason she was looking for the class arts committee member was twofold.

First, he was the one in charge of the registration for the Guzheng Art Festival.

Second, he often boasted in class that one of his relatives was a teacher in the city’s middle school, so Xia Ningxing surmised that it was very likely Xia Jiaojiao had asked him to directly arrange with the teachers there to get her name on the list.

Otherwise, if the class teacher or school principal knew that she had initially registered for the guzheng, they would surely have had her and Xia Jiaojiao practice together with a teacher.

Of course, all of this was still conjecture on her part, and she needed further confirmation.

"What, what’s the matter?" As soon as the arts committee member looked up and met the girl’s ambiguously smiling eyes, he instantly swallowed nervously, clenching the pen in his hands tight, not daring to follow her.

Xia Ningxing didn’t have that much patience; she scowled and grabbed his shirt collar, lifting him up: "When I tell you to come out, you come out. What’s with all the nonsense!"

Seeing the two leaving the classroom, Xia Jiaojiao bit her lip tightly, panic flashing in her eyes.

What is this wretch going to do!

It wasn’t until they were in the small woods that Xia Ningxing let him go.

"Xia Ningxing, what do you want with me?" The arts committee member was near to crying; what kind of monster was she, to be able to carry a six-foot-tall guy like him all this way?

Xia Ningxing crossed her arms and didn’t beat around the bush: "Tell me, why was the program changed, and what did Xia Jiaojiao offer you in return?"

"You, what are you on about? What does the change in your program have to do with me and Xia Jiaojiao!" The arts committee member instantly became agitated like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, vehemently denying any involvement.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but shrug, the truth was glaring in his face.

Buddy, if it wasn’t you who did it, could you not react so dramatically? It’s practically an admission!

"Are you sure you won’t tell me?" Xia Ningxing looked at him with clear-cut eyes, her face seemingly smiling, but the arts committee member felt a chill go down his spine, and the next second he saw...

She bent down to pick up a stone the size of a palm from the ground. With a little effort, the stone crumbled into dust in her hand.
