Chapter 113: Chapter 113

The two-day exam passed quickly.

Early on the second day, the rankings were posted on the honor roll in front of the teaching building.

At this moment, students were gathered in layers in front of the honor roll.

Gao Yuyue came over from afar and saw this scene.

Coincidentally, Song Xiaojing squeezed out from the crowd, her face a little pale.

"Are you going to fall out of Class A?"

Gao Yuyue walked over and asked.

Song Xiaojing bit her lip, "Almost."

Gao Yuyue raised an eyebrow.

When the rankings were released, some were happy, some were sad.

Dai Niantong found her name in the middle, almost jumping for joy. Great, she improved by ten places since the entrance exam, entering Class G was no problem.

Zheng Jinghan also did well, finally letting out a breath of relief. A whole summer of hard work was not in vain.

The two exchanged glances and simultaneously looked at the top of the list.

Apart from their own scores, everyone’s biggest concern with this release was the ownership of the top spot.

The biggest suspense this time was who among these top students could seize the crown.

The most talked-about rivalry was undoubtedly between Shen You’an and Gu Bichen.

Shen You’an’s legendary status needs no elaboration, but this Gu Bichen from Jingzhou was no less formidable.

Being the cultural, political, and economic center, Jingzhou was incomparable to the small Qingzhou.

Frankly, Shen You’an was like a toad in a well, only able to gaze at the sky. When faced with a real god from the big city, she was bound to falter.

This was also the thought deep down for many students; they all hoped someone could bring down Shen You’an’s prestige.

Gu Bichen was their biggest hope.

Even Yan Lu had many people suppressing her.

Shen You’an’s myth couldn’t hold in front of so many geniuses.

Dai Niantong and Zheng Jinghan both fixed their eyes on the top spot.

The suspense revealed.

NO.1 Shen You’an 748.

NO.2 Gu Bichen 747.5.

"I didn’t expect Shen You’an to be first again, she’s incredible, this time the questions were really hard."

"She’s only 0.5 points ahead of Gu Bichen; that’s not a huge gap. They’re still on par, which proves Shen You’an isn’t unbeatable."

"Even though it’s just a 0.5-point difference, in a duel between masters, the slightest mistake could be fatal. It seems Shen You’an has the edge."

"Am I the only one curious who Yan Lu is? She actually scored the same as God Liu, that’s awesome Plus."

"These top students from elsewhere did well. They truly live up to their status."

Everyone started discussing eagerly.

The bottom of Class L paid no mind to their own scores, focused solely on the talent feats unfolding in Class A.

Amidst the conversation, they felt as if they were part of it too.

"Qin Xiangge’s rank dropped significantly this time, twenty-eighth, almost falling out of Class A."

"Qin Xiangge still devoted half her energy to art and still did so well. She’s by no means inferior to those geniuses, okay? If she focused entirely, maybe she’d be first."

"Stop exaggerating; even the best tutoring doesn’t take you beyond this level, and she has to rely on art to save face."

At one point, Qin Xiangge rarely came to school. The Qin family hired top tutors for her, which was no secret across the school, purportedly for her artistic development.

Qin Xiangge stood at the outskirts of the crowd, her smile gradually fading, eyes fixed on the top of the list, with emotions shifting like clouds and sun in her eyes.

"What are you guys talking nonsense about?" Lii Yinyin scolded loudly.

Everyone turned to look and saw Qin Xiangge standing behind. The sarcastic girl quickly hid among the crowd, and everyone immediately dispersed.

"Xiangge, don’t listen to their nonsense. In terms of artistic talent and achievements, all the top ten combined can’t compare to even your little finger."

"Hey, Lii Yinyin, if you want to flatter Qin Xiangge, go ahead, just don’t step on me."

Gao Yuyue spoke coldly.

Gao Yuyue’s name happened to rank tenth.

"Apologize to me." Gao Yuyue never understood what it meant to forgive when possible.

Lii Yinyin pursed her lips, not expecting Gao Yuyue to hear it.

As soon as Lii Yinyin opened her mouth, Qin Xiangge cast a cold glance over.

Lii Yinyin swallowed back the words stuck in her throat.

"Gao Yuyue, do you find this amusing?"

Gao Yuyue crossed her arms and chuckled, "Finally couldn’t keep pretending, huh? It’s amusing, really amusing. Is this how your lapdog flatters you regularly? Now I know what’s said... you gotta look at the owner when you hit a dog."
