Chapter 665: Heart Exploded Everyday, Si Fuqing Knows Medicine? (1)

Ji Qingwei had indeed performed commendably, and while a certificate of honor was within reach, to claim first place was perhaps an overconfidence.

With the full score capped at 750 points, could Ji Qingwei achieve 800?

Ji Longtai’s ears buzzed, momentarily unable to comprehend. ‘What, what?” he stammered.

“The top score this time is 750 points,” the other party patiently reiterated. “Even if your beloved daughter wrote the essay, securing first place would be out of reach.”

Ji Longtai’s body swayed as he grappled with the inconceivable. “750 points?!”

Even a rare genius like Ji Qingwei could only aspire to a maximum of 700 points; what then was the significance of 750?

It dawned on Ji Longtai that the professors from Great Xia University had not contacted the Ji family this time not due to their busy schedules, but because a perfect score had been achieved in the joint exam.

Against such a score, Ji Qingwei’s achievement paled in comparison.

Ji Longtai awkwardly ended the call without even mentioning the honor certificate.

The call left the professors from Great Xia University rather perplexed.

“Not that I felt it before, but the contrast is striking now,” Professor Xu sighed. “Student Si scored perfectly without seeking publicity, still humbly pursuing her acting career in the entertainment industry. It’s apparent she genuinely loves acting. ”

“Unlike some celebrities who can barely read but are already eager to strike gold,” he added.

Last year, he had served as a judge at an idiom contest where several celebrities on stage struggled with the simplest idioms, prompting him to shake his head in disapproval.

“Keeping a low profile is beneficial, those wealthy families always harbor some dark secrets,” Professor Chen remarked. “It’s best to keep her results confidential and let Student Si focus on her work without interference from malevolent forces.”

They had never met Ji Qingwei.

But Ji Longtai’s pride and concern for face suggested that Ji Qingwei, having been nurtured in the Ji family for so long, might also harbor a skewed disposition.

However, that was none of their concern.

The professors quickly dismissed the affairs of the Ji family from their minds and pondered how to entice Miss Si to their institute.

Meanwhile, Ji Longtai, reeling from the shock, he returned to the banquet hall, utterly distraught.

He had barely recovered from the shock of the 750 points when the butler informed him that Ji Qingwei had vomited blood again.

Ji Longtai, without thinking about anything else, rushed into the inner room.

Ji Qingwei had vomited a significant amount of blood, alarming Lady Ji to the extent that she instructed the family doctor to use up the remaining precious medicinal herbs.

Seeing Ji Qingwei unconscious, Yu Yao bit his lip, feeling a deep sorrow. “I’m sorry, I haven’t found the Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand yet.”

Encountering the Heavenly Doctor had been a stroke of luck.

Given Ji Qingwei’s condition, which could not withstand the cerebral wave impacts from a gaming pod, otherwise, he could have taken her into “Eternity” to seek medical NPCs.

“This isn’t your fault,” Lady Ji, wiping her tears, reassured him. “Without your relentless efforts to procure medicine for Qingwei, her condition might have been even worse.”

“She once saved me, and assisting her is the least I can do,” Yu Yao frowned, noting the depletion of medicinal herbs. “I’ll make another trip to the Ning family in Yan City.”

“Quick, please go invite Master Mingdeng,” Old Master Ji decided urgently after Yu Yao left. “Qingwei’s frequent vomiting of blood must have clashed with some malevolent force. We need Master Mingdeng to determine if there’s any evil at play.”

The birthday banquet was inevitably cancelled.

Ji Longtai then proceeded to see off the guests.

Director MO expressed indifference, but his demeanor was noticeably cold.

Ji Longtai bid farewell to the two directors of the Heaven Earth Alliance, feeling relieved that they were unaware of the perfect score achieved in this year’s Seven Schools Joint Examination.

Yet, he was also bewildered.

Such a score was a monumental honor; why had there been no buzz about it?

If Ji Qingwei could have scored perfectly, he would have invited families from abroad to celebrate grandly.

As the guests dispersed, Master Mingdeng arrived.

He was dressed in an ancient yellow robe, holding a Zen staff, walking neither slowly nor hurriedly.

He truly resembled a high monk who had attained enlightenment.

Upon seeing him, Mrs. Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

“Strange indeed,” Master Mingdeng remarked after examining Ji Qingwei. His eyes flickered with insight as he withdrew his hands. “The second miss’ energy was initially contained, but now it’s dissipating.”

“Life hinges on one’s energy. With her energy dissipating, it naturally impacts her body and soul profoundly..”
