Zhou Rui looked at her brother's changing expression, feeling aggrieved. He was impatient with her, but so attentive to the great magician?

But why would the brother call the great magician sister?

"Didn't I participate in the magic competition? The great magician and I are roommates." Zhou Rui explained, "But brother, how did you two meet?"

Zhou Ye was surprised and blurted out: "How could you participate in the same competition with her?"

"Brother, who are you looking down on?" Zhou Rui was dissatisfied, even though there was a huge gap between her and Li Li, one was at the bottom of the class and the other was a genius with full marks.

"What are you doing standing there? Come and sit down." Jiangnan waved to Li Li and pulled out the chair next to him.

Under Zhou Rui's surprised gaze, Li Li walked forward and sat down without hesitation.

"Would you like some more?" Jiangnan had already prepared tableware for her and picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and placed it in front of her.

"No, I'm full."

"Okay." Jiangnan put the dish back into his bowl.

Zhou Rui's eyes widened. Didn't the fifth brother have mysophobia? Although the great magician had never touched the tableware, this action still made her feel something was wrong!

She had seen Jiangnan since she was a child following her brother. She was not afraid of her brother, but she did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Jiangnan. In her memory, Jiangnan was always as cold as ice and as noble as a god. When had he ever been so kind to others, even gentle?

Zhou Rui's dull expression was too innocent. Zhou Ye patted her head and asked, "What are you staring at?"

"Brother, you haven't told me yet, how did you two know each other?"

"It's a long story, kid, don't ask so many questions!"

"..."

She was a child, and Li Li was about the same age. Zhou Rui was indignant, but she didn't dare to show it in front of Jiangnan...

"Where has Ah You been on adventures lately? Last time I heard, he was able to stand upright." Zhou Ye asked, his eyes flashing with a strange light.

Li Li smiled and nodded, "Indeed, his recovery is extraordinary. Now he can stand for a long time and even wants to walk eagerly. Aunt Ling has to keep a close eye on him to prevent any accidents."

"Bang!" The crystal cup in Zhou Rui's hand shattered instantly. "What did you say? Brother You can actually stand up? How is this possible? I remember he..."

Before Ling You's secret recovery, this news was like a forbidden spell and had never been leaked. Even Zhou Ye did not tell Zhou Rui.

"Let me tell you, the one who cured your brother Ayou is this person." Zhou Ye pointed at Li Li, his finger seeming to break through the boundaries of reality.

Zhou Rui's pupils suddenly contracted and she was speechless. Why could she understand each of her brother's words individually, but when they were combined, she felt so overwhelmed. What? Li Li was actually Brother You's miraculous healer?

This world is full of wonderful magic. Li Li's existence constantly challenges Zhou Rui's cognition. She is too ordinary and actually looks at this extraordinary person with an ordinary eye.

Zhou Rui looked at Li Li in awe, "Your Excellency, from now on I will follow you. I will not go west unless you point me east."

Li Li couldn't help but smile bitterly. No wonder she was said to be related to Zhou Ye. Both brother and sister were peculiar beings.

After chatting for a while, it was already getting dark in Jiangjian, and Li Li and Zhou Rui boarded the magic carriage driven by Jiangnan and rushed to Huaqing City. Jiangnan's powerful magic made Zhou Rui silent all the way, and she admired Li Li who was chatting and laughing with Jiangnan.

"Fifth brother, see you next time." Zhou Rui said goodbye obediently.

"Goodbye." Li Li waved gently.

"I'll contact you after you complete the mission."

"Ah."

On the first night at China's top university, everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep. The conversation that transcended time and space lasted until late at night. When they met the next day, many people had dark circles under their eyes and yawned continuously. Li Li teased Li Yan: "You stayed up late too? In my impression, you are not a talkative person."

"I can't sleep because of Wen Ziyuan's talking in my sleep." Li Yan rubbed his eyebrows, and a trace of helpless resentment was hidden under his tired dark circles.

"I'm just excited." Wen Ziyuan argued confidently, and his momentum remained undiminished even though he was in the wrong.

Shen Jinzhu urged: "Hurry up, or you'll be late."

Winter mornings in Kyoto are always shrouded in mist, moist and mysterious. Li Yanshuang took a deep breath of the morning dew, "How wonderful! It would be great if we could stay here for a long time." Everyone's face showed yearning.

The Huaqing students coming and going are in a hurry, some are rushing to class, some are working on experiments, and they mingle among them, as if they have become part of this magic academy.

From today, they will start a half-month study trip in Huaqing. The school specially allocated a spacious magic classroom for them to experience the magical life of the university in advance.

The classroom is large, and even with more than 60 people sitting there, it doesn't seem crowded. The instructor today is a competition instructor named Chen Zhirun, an experienced competition trainer who has coached winter training for math competitions eight times.

He walked into the classroom holding a stack of scrolls, and his sharp eyes swept over each student one by one. Everyone held their breath, inexplicably nervous. After a moment, Chen Zhirun smiled...

"I am Chen Zhirun, your arcane mentor. I know that many of you have been surrounded by countless praises and praised as the embodiment of miracles, but here, I ask you to abandon the past. No matter how brilliant your achievements were, they will disappear like an illusion. After all, you are now in the Huaqing Magic Academy. The talents of your colleagues here may be dozens or even hundreds of times greater than yours, so there is no place for pride."

“I hope you can get rid of your old selves and become the purest pursuers of mathematical magic. These short ten days are about to pass. Whether you quit halfway or stick to it, don’t forget why you love mathematics and why you devote yourself to it.”

The huge lecture hall was silent, and after a moment, warm applause rang out like thunder. Many people were moved by the sincerity of Jiang Hou, the passionate young man, while others silently restrained their inner pride and secretly reminded themselves that this was not an ordinary arena and they needed to be vigilant at all times.

However, there are always some inappropriate voices. Chu Hai turned his head to Wen Ziyuan's ear and whispered through gritted teeth: "He said the same thing last year."

Wen Ziyuan was originally a little touched, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard the words.

"Shut your mouth, no one thinks you are deaf-mute." Shen Jinzhu in the front row turned around and glanced at him coldly. He quickly fell silent. He knew that this lady was not to be trifled with.

"Let's get back to the point. The glory of the past has been reduced to zero. Now we are going to test your true level." Chen Zhirun changed his words and whispered like a devil, "Keep calm. It's only one test question, and the full score is 30 points. Giving you a gap in the river should be more than enough time. Everyone, show your talents to the fullest."

He began to hand out the test papers one by one.

A question in exchange for a gap in the river? A slight sigh came from the audience, which showed how difficult the question was.

Sure enough, the moment they received the test paper, everyone was dumbfounded. The questions left them completely confused!

No wonder it is said that a gap in the river is enough. If it can be solved, there is no need for the river, and if it cannot be solved, it cannot be solved even if given a day.

Under Chen Zhirun's intimidating gaze, everyone buried their heads in their test papers. The classroom was so quiet that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard clearly.

Zhou Rui had a splitting headache. She wondered if she had never been involved in the field of mathematics, otherwise how could she not even recognize the symbols in the question.

She wanted to peek at Li Li's answer, but there were two seats between her and Li Li. Lan Xinyu was sitting next to her, and then there were Shen Jinzhu and Li Li. Even if she stretched her neck as hard as she could, it was of no avail. After struggling for a long time, she finally chose to give up.

Li Yan frowned, obviously troubled by the problem, and hesitated to start writing. Wen Ziyuan had already put away his playful expression and looked focused. He was able to devote himself to the magical world of mathematics and study it selflessly.

Chu Hai originally thought that Chen Zhirun's words would be the same as last year, and the questions would be exactly the same, but he did not expect that this year's questions would be more difficult.

Lin Die, who was the most inconspicuous member of the same magic team as Li Li, wrote very fast, spent pages of draft paper calculating, but still could not come up with an answer...

Li Li's eyes sparkled with wonder. This puzzle was unique and full of personal magic. It was obviously created by the peculiar mentor Chen Zhirun. Her fingertips drew an elegant arc in the air, and then the tip of the pen gently fell on the magic parchment.
