When he returned to the capital, it was already past eight o’clock.
With only half an hour left before the exam, Ye Jiuliang hurriedly changed into her school uniform and rode her motorcycle to school.
Midway, soone burst forth like Cheng Yaojin.
She braked, Ye Jiuliang looked up at the person getting out of the car, and frowned.
Sitting on the motorcycle, one foot steadying on the ground, she was a dashing figure; even Aren was slightly shaken by the sight.
"Miss Jiuliang, the old master is very worried about you since you didn’t return all night."
"I need to take an exam now, if you keep blocking and I miss it, you can’t bla ," Ye Jiuliang said nonchalantly with a slight lift of her eyebrows.
Hearing this, Aren imdiately moved aside.
The old master was worried she had run away to avoid the exam, but it seed that was needless concern.
"Vroom, vroom, vroom－－"
The roar of the engine broke out, and the cool motorcycle zood away like an arrow released from a bow.
Aren watched the disappearing motorcycle, his heart pounding.
The classroom was silent as a graveyard.
The seat by the window was empty, strikingly conspicuous.
Ye Miao looked back and sneered with irony.
Ye Jiuliang, you better just not show up.
This month’s exam had everyone at Beisen on edge, all because of sothing Li Mochan had said before: anyone who fails this exam would have to leave Beisen.
This rule was tailor-made for Ye Jiuliang.
Xu Li walked into the classroom with the test papers, glanced over, and frowned at the empty seat.
He walked up to the podium, "Today..."
"Sorry."
A cool voice rose from the doorway, and everyone looked in that direction.
Rushing too fast, the girl’s hair was slightly ssy, her collar was disheveled, and her delicate features showed a touch of laziness, betraying not a hint of nervousness regarding the exam.
The instant Ye Jiuliang appeared, Ye Miao’s face darkened.
The damn girl, she’d actually made it.
Xu Li said warmly, "Co on in."
Ye Jiuliang nodded, stepped inside, and walked over to her seat.
She pulled out the chair and sat down, took a breath, and fished a pen out of her pocket.
Xu Li walked down to distribute the test papers. The faces of those who received them were complicated, a mix of joy and concern.
When he reached Ye Jiuliang, Xu Li rembered the "fifty-nine points" test paper and gave her a complex look.
Ultimately, he said nothing, placed the test paper down, and walked away.
Exhausted from the rush, Ye Jiuliang struggled to stay awake, yawned, her eyes were misty, and a wave of sleepiness powerfully overwheld her.
Action speaks louder than thoughts; she laid her head down and fell asleep.
This scene was fully witnessed by Xu Li.
He shook his head helplessly.
Ti quietly passed, the scratching of pen tips on paper making a slight noise.
With just twenty minutes left before the papers were to be collected, Xu Li couldn’t sit still any longer.
"Knock, knock."
He curved his fingers and tapped lightly on the desk.
The person lying on the desk stirred, and after a mont, Ye Jiuliang lifted her head, her cool eyes tinged with red blood vessels.
"Student Ye, there are only twenty minutes left before you need to hand in your paper," Xu Li emphasized.
Ye Jiuliang pressed her brow, "Thank you."
If he hadn’t reminded her, she might have truly overslept.
While the other students were still writing their exams, Xu Li didn’t say much. Glancing at her completely blank paper, he could already guess how poorly she was going to do.
Composing herself, Ye Jiuliang picked up the pen and began to fill out the exam paper.
Not far away, Ye Miao had already finished the exam and, seeing Ye Jiuliang just starting to write, a contemptuous smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.
Cramping for the exam at the last minute, she really thought she could pass.
Heh, what a joke.
In the last two minutes, everyone started to hand in their exams one after the other.
Ye Jiuliang tossed her pen into the desk drawer and stretched. She then took her exam paper and followed the others toward the lectern.
After handing in her paper, she walked out of the classroom without lingering.
By the ti she got to the cafeteria, it was packed.
She bought so food and went straight to the rooftop.
Before she had taken a few bites, Chu Chen called her.
"Yeah, I’m back. How is everything on your end?" Ye Jiuliang took a sip of juice, her clear eyes half-closed.
Chu Chen, "Didn’t you see the news?"
"I rushed to school for the exam as soon as I got back, and now I’m just having breakfast. Do you think I have ti to watch the news?"
"You really went to take the exam?" Chu Chen choked on his coffee.
He thought she was joking. Was this girl taking the wrong dicine?
Ye Jiuliang, "No kidding."
"Ye Jiuliang, this doesn’t sound like you. Would you actually participate in a school exam so honestly?" Chu Chen still couldn’t believe it.
"There must be sothing fishy going on."
If he were in front of her right now, she’d definitely give him a couple of punches.
Ye Jiuliang took a mouthful of rice and mumbled unclearly, "None of your business. I’ve taken care of the person already, and as for the i Organization’s piece of fat at, we won’t be polite. I had to travel back and forth in the middle of the night, so I need to collect so interest."
"All right, I’ll take care of this matter," Chu Chen laughed.
"Almost forgot to ask you sothing. If the i Organization falls, will the Dark Hall step in?" Ye Jiuliang suddenly asked.
Chu Chen teased, "What, you robbed their stuff, and now you’re scared?"
Ye Jiuliang scoffed, "I’m serious."
"A starving cal is bigger than a horse. Li Mochan’s goods were lost by the people from the i Organization; do you think Li Mochan would let them off?" When it ca to serious matters, Chu Chen’s tone beca earnest.
Ye Jiuliang fell silent.
After a while, she spoke slowly, "How about, we don’t get involved in this?"
"Ajiu, have you been provoking Li Mochan again?" As a friend for over a decade, Chu Chen imdiately sensed sothing was off about her.
On a normal day, this guy was tougher than anyone else. Now, hearing about Li Mochan, she had changed her mind right away.
Definitely sothing fishy.
"Cough, no way, I was just thinking we’ve taken their stuff, and they still have the Star of the Sea. We shouldn’t offend them too harshly; we might have other cooperative opportunities in the future," Ye Jiuliang explained calmly and evasively.
Chu Chen laughed, "That would be for the best. I’ll handle this matter. You, my old friend, just focus on studying and taking exams, and stop causing trouble."
"Screw you, end of friendship."
Cutting off the call, Ye Jiuliang put down her phone, suddenly losing her appetite.
She looked up at the dusky blue sky and suddenly rembered the person far away in City A.
He must be very angry when he sees the news, right?
...
"Master, the checkup results are out," Wei Bei reported after finishing the call, his expression slightly grim.
"Soone poisoned the red wine."
Wo Te had just arrived at the hotel last night and was imdiately targeted for assassination. Such coincidences just didn’t happen in this world.
