Although Ye Ling wasn’t sure what Zhao Siyu was planning, his main interest now was to find out who would challenge him.
Zhao Siyu might have her own little schemes, but she didn’t seem to harbor any ill intentions toward him, so Ye Ling didn’t say much.
After taking a good photo, Zhao Siyu sent it to her class’s chat group and also added Ye Ling to the group.
The Vermilion Bird Class had its own chat group, managed personally by the supervising teacher.
Zhao Siyu’s Vermilion Bird Class was the top class in the entire grade.
The top three students of the grade were all in this class, making it incredibly formidable.
So, the moment the photo was posted, the group chat exploded.
“Whoa!! Isn’t this Ye Ling?! Boss Zhao, what’s going on?!”
“Yeah, yeah! What’s happening here? Could it be… Ye Ling is joining our class?!”
“Wow! I said before he might join our class, is it really happening?”
“Haha! The only male student in the Academy is coming to our class! The other classes will be so jealous!”
…
Just one photo caused a sensation in the chat group, with all the girls discussing it non-stop.
Ye Ling, who was added to the group, was overwhelmed by the flood of messages and couldn’t help but sigh. No matter where you go, there are always gossipers.
Zhao Siyu chuckled and waved her chat interface.
“Hehe! Junior Ye Ling, look at how popular you are. Just one photo and it caused such a stir. How about saying a few words?”
Since he was already added to the group, Ye Ling naturally had to say something.
“Hello, seniors. I’m Ye Ling, who just skipped a grade. Please take care of me. I’m currently in Senior Zhao Siyu’s group.”
After Ye Ling sent this message, the previously lively chat group suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Not a single message came through, as if everyone was staring at Ye Ling’s message.
After a moment of silence, the chat group suddenly erupted into a heated discussion.
“(⊙o⊙) Wow!! It’s really him! We caught Ye Ling himself!!”
“Welcome, welcome! Junior Ye Ling! When can we meet?!”
“Yes, yes! Let’s meet up!”
“So envious that he’s in Zhao Siyu’s group!”
“Wow, you skipped a grade and joined the top group of the second year. How did you do it, Ye Ling?”
“I want to be in Zhao Siyu’s group, and Ye Ling’s group too. It’s such a pity I got neither! T_T”
“Stop dreaming, just stay in your group and don’t think about impossible things.”
…
They thought Zhao Siyu’s photo meant Ye Ling had joined their class, but which group he was in wasn’t decided yet.
Unexpectedly, Ye Ling had directly joined Zhao Siyu’s group.
The enthusiasm of the chat group was palpable, even through the screen, Ye Ling could feel the seniors’ excitement.
“Ahem!”
He cleared his throat twice; some of the seniors’ comments were quite bold, making Ye Ling a bit embarrassed.
Can he blame himself for this?
No!
He could only blame his own excellence; wherever he went, he couldn’t hide his damn charm.
Just then, a message in the chat group interrupted everyone’s discussion.
“Ye Ling, I want to challenge you. Since you could skip to the second year and join our Vermilion Bird Class, it proves your strength is up to par.
In that case, I, Wu Xuan, formally challenge you. If you lose, you must leave the Vermilion Bird Class.”
As soon as this message appeared, the lively chat group turned into a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.
Seeing this message, Ye Ling looked up at Zhao Siyu, who was smiling knowingly.
Clearly, this Wu Xuan was the person Zhao Siyu had mentioned.
He had just made a brief appearance, and unexpectedly, someone challenged him.
Goodness!
How little must they think of him to target him so directly upon arrival?
“No way? Wu Xuan is the third seat in the grade, so strong, and she’s challenging Ye Ling, who just skipped a grade.”
“Yeah, isn’t this a bit much? And if Ye Ling loses, he has to leave our Vermilion Bird Class. Isn’t that too harsh?”
“I think so too. A challenge shouldn’t have such stakes.”
“You all know Wu Xuan’s temper. Ye Ling broke the school’s rules, and in her eyes, that’s wrong, and wrongs must be corrected.”
…
Zhao Siyu looked at Ye Ling and smiled.
“So, Ye Ling, do you want to accept her challenge? Wu Xuan is our second year’s third seat. If you defeat her, you’ll have the right to challenge me, and I can’t refuse.”
Her words were clearly meant to provoke Ye Ling.
But she didn’t hide it at all, because she believed that if Ye Ling was eyeing her top position, he would definitely accept.
