Observing Yue Siqing's strange reaction, Yue Taotian became puzzled and couldn't help but take a look at the answers beside him.
After seeing the answers, Yue Taotian suddenly understood why Yue Siqing had such an expression. In the answers, Yue Siqing had written a total of twenty-five solutions, while Xuan Yi's paper had twenty-six different solutions. Although it was just one more solution, the difference was significant.
Even Yue Siqing had only come up with twenty-five solutions, while Xuan Yi managed to produce twenty-six. This was quite terrifying.
"Siqing, is this extra solution correct?" Yue Taotian couldn't help but ask.
Yue Siqing remained silent for a moment before nodding. "Yes, it's correct. I overlooked this possibility."
Yue Siqing's expression was complex. This particular possibility was obscure, but it was indeed valid. She was aware of this possibility, but she had overlooked it until she saw it written on Xuan Yi's paper. Xuan Yi's performance served as a wake-up call for her.
"In that case, Xuan Yi's strength is truly remarkable!" Yue Taotian couldn't help but exclaim. The fact that Xuan Yi came up with a possibility that even Yue Siqing overlooked demonstrated how solid her foundation was and how terrifying her knowledge was.
However, as he spoke, Yue Taotian couldn't help but examine Yue Siqing. Being her older brother, he knew Yue Siqing's personality very well. Xuan Yi's outstanding performance undoubtedly overshadowed Yue Siqing, and it might even be seen as a blow to her pride. He wondered if Yue Siqing would be angry because of this. Sometimes, it was not necessarily a good thing for a disciple's abilities to stand out too much.
Yue Siqing nodded in response to Yue Taotian's words, her calm face revealing no hint of her thoughts.
"Yes, Xuan Yi is indeed a promising talent. If she becomes my direct disciple, it would save me a lot of effort in teaching and be more convenient."
Seeing that Yue Siqing wasn't angry about the situation, Yue Taotian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It would be a pity to lose the opportunity for Xuan Yi to become a direct disciple just because she performed exceptionally well. Once they recruited Xuan Yi, she would undoubtedly become one of Yue Family's shining stars.
Others also noticed the change in Yue Taotian and Yue Siqing's expressions, and they couldn't help but feel curious. What did Bai Li Hongzhuang write in her paper that caused such a strange reaction from Yue Siqing?
Bai Li Hongzhuang was also aware of this and noticed the attention, but she believed that there was nothing wrong with what she wrote in her paper. Therefore, she wasn't sure what had happened.
Ji Lexue felt anxious when she saw Yue Siqing looking at Bai Li Hongzhuang's answer sheet. This should have been her moment to shine, but it was completely overshadowed by Bai Li Hongzhuang. Moreover, judging from Yue Siqing's reaction, she seemed to admire Bai Li Hongzhuang.
If things continued like this, she would truly have no hope left.
Soon, Ji Lexue also submitted her paper. Upon seeing Ji Lexue handing in her paper, Yue Siqing couldn't help but take a look at it. Ji Lexue was originally her preferred choice for a direct disciple.
Seeing Yue Siqing's actions, a pleased smile appeared on Ji Lexue's face. It seemed that Master Yue Siqing hadn't given up on her yet.
