The Rising Phoenix

Others frowned when they saw the girl blame the 12-year-old girl for her failure. She could not stand the pressure herself. She should not blame others. It was her own fault. Her parent immediately pulled their daughter away. At the moment, the attention was on the 12-year-old girl. It would not be wise to say something like that to that girl.

Bai Xifeng was oblivious about the matter. She did not say anything to the girl because she could not understand why the girl blamed her for her failure. The most important thing at the moment was to focus on the competition. She was too lazy to deal with the girl.

After the girl left with her parent, the competition continued. The host asked the three professors to review the answer written by the competitors. Most of them used the same method and formula to answer the questions. However, Bai Xifeng's method and formula were slightly different from others.

The three professors began to ask Bai Xifeng about how she knew that about the method and formula. There were some methods and formulas that only advanced mathematicians could use. Bai Xifeng told them that she had read them in the library. Everyone looked at Bai Xifeng like she had grown horns on her head. How could a 12-year-old girl stumble upon a journal about advanced mathematics and somehow use it to solve the equation?

Only 19 competitors were left. Bai Xifeng was in the first place. Other competitors did not dare to say anything about that. Because they knew why she was in the first place. They could just fight for it. It was still the first round.

The TV station was happy because it was their first time live broadcasting receive a high views. It was because of the 12-year-old girl.

Bai Xifeng took out a chocolate bar and ate it. She was hungry. She wondered how long it would continue. She wanted to eat.

The second round began. Bai Xifeng did the same thing that she did in the first round. After she finished answering her questions, she fell asleep. The cameraman zoomed in on Bai Xifeng's face. However, Bai Xifeng had already covered up her face. The netizens really wanted to know what this girl looked like.

After the second round, Bai Xifeng was still in the first place. The host announced that they would take a break for 15 minutes before continuing. Bai Xifeng went to her principal. The principal was smiling to her ears. She really did not know Bai Xifeng was this intelligent.

The TV station staff came and wanted to talk about something. She asked Bai Xifeng if Bai Xifeng could show her face once. The netizens wanted to know her.

Bai Xifeng refused flatly. She did not want others to know her face. If she did that, she was sure that she could not live in peace anymore. She was not stupid. Not to mention, she did not have parents to protect her in case something happened. Yes, she had the orphanage's director as her guardian, but the orphanage's director had many kids under her care. The orphanage's director could not focus on her only.

The TV station staff nodded understandingly. The break was over. The competition continued. Bai Xifeng dominated all the rest of the round. The second place was the 19-year-old man. He went to congratulate Bai Xifeng. He did not expect to lose to 12 years 12-year-old girl. However, he was not ashamed but impressed by Bai Xifeng's intellectual thinking.

Then, the three professors came over to ask Bai Xifeng if she was willing to study under one of them. Everyone knew that the three professors would ask the question to Bai Xifeng. Who did not want a genius student under their wings? However, everyone's jaw dropped when Bai Xifeng refused the invitation. The three professors asked about the reason why she rejected it.

Bai Xifeng replied by telling them that she had no interest in math. She liked chemistry more. Hearing that, the professors offered to take her to study chemistry at their universities. Bai Xifeng refused again. She told them that she wanted to enjoy school like other children should.

After finishing talking to the three professors, Bai Xifeng went to ask the organiser about the money prize. When could she get the prize? She asked if she could have a cheque so that she could cash out the money. The organiser told her that if that was what she wanted, they could arrange that.

She just needed to wait for the next day. So, she and the principal stayed at the hotel for another day. The news reported that the Olympiad Math Competition had a young genius who was only 12 years old. Everyone was asking to see the girl's face. They only had a girl who covered up. Only her bright eyes could be seen in the picture.

The next day, the organiser called the principal to come to the meeting room. The principal brought Bai Xifeng to the place mentioned in the call.

Bai Xifeng was still in the hoodie, covering all of her face. A few people from the Olympiad Math Competition came to congratulate Bai Xifeng. The three professors were also there. They asked if they could see Bai Xifeng's face. Bai Xifeng thought for a moment and made everyone promise that they could not take any pictures of her.
