Lu Xia inhaled deeply and sorted her priorities. Right that moment, she stopped feeling sad. Taking a screenshot of her National Quiz Contest results, she posted it on Weibo.
Lu Xia placed her phone under her desk and turned to look at Chang Yingying, who was looking at her phone with her head lowered.
Although it was just a small National Quiz Contest, she was not keen on seeing Huo Yao’s cocky face.
It put her in a bad mood.
**
Huo Yao stood first after obtaining full marks for the National Quiz Contest again. Most of the students were unsurprised by this outcome. After all, she was like a god, and ordinary students like them could only look up to her. They did not even have the right to feel jealous.
Huo Yao planned on visiting Meng Ying’s father with her at the hospital after their last class.
Shortly after leaving the classroom, Huo Yao raised her head and spotted a boy leaning lazily against the railing nearby. His refined profile looked awfully familiar.
Huo Yao combed through her mind and recalled him to be the youth whom she had met at the quiz contest venue. Out of the blue, he had challenged her after the National Quiz Contest’s previous round. Yeah, he certainly was that guy.
“He’s Yi Lianfan from the Rocket Class,” said Meng Ying softly, standing beside her.
Meng Ying had a feeling that this long-standing top student was probably here because of Huo Yao.
Meetings between kings sent sparks flying all around.
Meng Ying’s eyes lit up at the prospect.
Huo Yao raised her brow. She turned to look at Meng Ying and said, “Does this mean what you said came true?”
Meng Ying was waiting to find out what was going on, but she suddenly got blamed for this.
“!!!”
She had merely said that Huo Yao would become his number one competitor!
Huo Yao straightened her bag strap and shifted her eyes away calmly. She continued walking as though she was unaware that Yi Lianfan was waiting here for her.
Meng Ying secretly put her thumb up behind her back. Huo Yao was awesome. Despite the presence of this formidable foe, she remained utterly composed.
No, correction.
She treated him like air.
Just as Huo Yao was about to walk past him, Yi Lianfan straightened up from the railing. He stepped forward unhurriedly to stop in the middle of the corridor and cut off Huo Yao’s path.
The 18 year old youth had an arrogance befitting his age. Since he was also a campus legend, there was an intensely cocky air about him.
Huo Yao halted and crossed her arms. She raised her head unhurriedly and looked at Yi Lianfan without the least bit of anxiety.
Students from other classes were walking out one after another. But they halted in their steps the moment they spotted the two school legends standing in front of each other.
[Oh my God. Are they going to fight?]
[Sure looks like it. Big boss, Huo Yao, stole so many number ones from the God of Study after she entered No.1 Middle School.]
[If it were me, I would also begrudge the person who stole my glory and seek revenge.]
[Both these gods look so powerful. I can’t help feeling excited. I wonder who will win.]
[You dumbass! When gods fight, it’s people like us who get into trouble.]
The students standing around started retreating a few steps surreptitiously. This included even Meng Ying. She cautiously inched over to somewhere safe in a timid manner.
None of them wanted to become collateral damage.
In an instant, the atmosphere became unusually quiet.
The students stood on the sides eagerly, almost holding their breaths, waiting for the clash of the gods to commence.
