"Shangguan You, this challenge is unreasonable, and you don’t have to pay attention to it. Focus on your studies and take it one step at a ti."
"I would like the Principal to be a witness for and Teacher Yang."
"Shangguan You, just cancel this challenge; it’s downright unfair to you," Lan Xuan’s gentle voice said.
"Shangguan You, are you out of your mind?" Even the usually silent Han Yachu couldn’t take it anymore and burst out, "The Principal is giving you a way out, and you still don’t appreciate it! Did a basketball ss up your brain? The senior year exams for a freshman are anything but fair, and to think about securing the top rank in the entire school—that’s just a pipe dream!"
"If Miss Shangguan You would apologize for the insults she just hurled at , I am willing to let bygones be bygones," Yang Liwen said opportunistically, noting the Principal’s attitude.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Principal. I will definitely participate in the college entrance exam, and I hope Teacher Yang won’t regret his grandiose claims today. If there’s nothing else, Teacher Chen, I’ll be leaving now."
Shangguan You spoke indifferently, then turned and left the office, leaving a room full of dumbfounded teachers behind.
"Shangguan You, are you seeking death?" Just as she stepped out of the door, two figures blocked her path. Han Yachu’s handso face was full of anger.
"Shangguan You, how confident are you about this challenge?"
Lan Xuan’s gentle voice carried a hint of worry. B City’s Number One High was the best school; if she were expelled, no other school would accept such a student. She was acting too impulsively.
"My affairs seem to have nothing to do with you two gentlen."
Pushing past the two in front of her, she ignored their gazes from behind and stalked off.
n, not a single good one among them. Moreover, in her mory, these two n usually never bothered with her. Why the sudden change of heart yesterday and today?
In just half a day, the bet between Shangguan You and Yang Liwen had spread throughout the school. So laughed at Shangguan You for overestimating her abilities—a freshman daring to take the senior year exams and aiming for the top rank of the entire school. It was a joke within a joke.
Their disdain for Shangguan You only grew; they whispered and pointed fingers behind her back.
"Foolish You, I heard you bet with Teacher Yang to take the third-year exam and even to rank first in the whole school, is that right?"
Shen Jia, Feng Shaoi, Gao Lili, Li Ruo, and Liao Si blocked Shangguan You’s path, giving her challenging looks. Their faces openly provoked the girl in nerdy glasses, who looked utterly frumpy. They had followed her from a distance as soon as she left the school grounds, intent on teaching her a lesson today for becoming increasingly arrogant.
"So what if it is?"
"You must have been hit in the head by a basketball! Not only are you competing with us, but you even dared to bet with Teacher Yang! You don’t even take a good look at yourself, daring to strike a stone with an egg. That’s hilarious!"
"Hmph! To look like that and still have the nerve to show your face is simply embarrassing."
The five of them ford a circle, trapping Shangguan You in the middle.
"Ugly people are always stirring up trouble," sneered Shen Jia as she pushed Shangguan You. At school, she had seen it very clearly: not only Lan Xuan but even Han Yachu had spoken with this ugly girl.
Those two had never taken the initiative to speak to them, and now a feeling of jealousy surged in her chest. She was determined to make Shangguan You kneel and beg for rcy.
"What do you want?" Shangguan You shifted slightly, dodging Shen Jia’s hand.
"What do we want? HAHAHA, to beat you until you can’t find your teeth!"
"Right! Pull out all your hair!"
"Make you too ashad to show your face!"
"If you kneel and beg us, maybe I’ll let you off!"
"How dare you try to charm Han Yachu and Lan Xuan! I’ll beat you to death!"
The girls shouted one after another, so yanking hair, so pinching, and so hitting.
"Idiots," Shangguan You snorted coldly. Her body rose slightly as she executed a beautiful spin in mid-air, kicking the five screaming girls to the ground.
"AHHH! It hurts so much!"
Their screams continued.
"You want to pull out my hair? You want to kneel and beg for rcy? That’s laughable." Shangguan You lifted Shen Jia’s pretty little face and spoke gently, then fiercely stomped on Feng Shaoi’s chest. This was the woman who had often bullied her in the past.
"What do you think you’re doing? I’m telling you, if you dare touch a hair on my head, my father will make your life a living hell!"
"Hmph, my cousin is the CEO of the Shen Group! If you lay a finger on , I’ll have my cousin Shen Cheng..."
"What? Shen Cheng is who to you?"
Shangguan You, who had only intended to scare them, never expected to hear the na Shen Cheng. Her usual air of nonchalance vanished, replaced by a murderous aura. Her grip on Shen Jia’s chin tightened, then tightened further.
"AH! It hurts so much! You’re going to crush my chin!"
SLAP! Shangguan You ruthlessly swung her palm across Shen Jia’s face. None of the Shens were good people.
"Speak."
"Shen Cheng is my cousin. He lived at our ho when he was a kid. Then, for so reason, he went abroad to study and later established the Shen Family in Beijing."
Hmph, cousin, cousin, Shen Cheng.
"Don’t provoke in the future, or I’ll make your lives worse than death."
She spoke coldly, then turned and left.
Only after her figure had completely vanished did two tall figures erge, their thoughtful gazes tracking the slender silhouette that had just departed.
"Han, what’s your take on this?"
"Your opinion is my opinion."
Shangguan You left the alley and headed to the nearest bookstore. She bought all the third-year high school textbooks, then returned ho with an armful of books and imdiately locked herself in her room.
A month. It wasn’t long, but it wasn’t short either. Her mory had improved—she could even boast a photographic one—and though she had once learned and been tested on this material, many years had passed. To be safe, she had to review everything ticulously. This exam was one she had to win, not lose.
Pressing her slightly aching forehead, she thought of the fruits in the space and couldn’t resist entering it to eat a few. The fruits she ate were called Spirit Fruits; eating them increased her Spiritual Energy and also dispelled fatigue.
