He even tried to save face by saying he did okay on the exam, which was ridiculous.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. "Xiaoxiao, you've gone to the advanced class, don't forget about your good friends."

Ming Xiaoxiao: "How could that be? You'll always be my best friend."

As the two were talking, Qian Shujian also walked over and glanced at Jiang Yifan.

He looked visibly unwell. Although the school didn't cancel his exam results in the end, the incident left him distracted and unsettled during the rest of the exam.

There were still two big questions left to answer, and I knew I had definitely bombed the science exam.

Even though he wasn't particularly interested in studying, he couldn't help but feel flustered this time.

It would be too embarrassing for him to be demoted from the international class to the regular class; he couldn't bear such a consequence!

His mom will beat him up, beat him really badly!

Ming Xiaoxiao also saw Qian Shujian. Seeing that Jiang Yifan didn't greet her, she hesitated for a moment, then smiled at Qian Shujian as a greeting.

When Xie Li arrived at the shop window, his expression still carried a lingering sense of weariness.

She's been confined to the alchemy room these past two days, making medicine, which is really exhausting.

To others, this demeanor would appear as one of guilt, fear, and despair, especially to Wang Wenxuan, who greeted Xie Li with his hands behind his back, "Oh, the perfect student is here."

Someone in the crowd deliberately chuckled.

Even Qian Shujian perked up a bit, looking at Xie Li with a mocking smile, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

He might not have done very well on the test, but Xie Li was about to embarrass himself in front of the whole school, which was really funny and worth being happy about for a while.

Shen Wanwan arrived a step later than Su Ying. The two exchanged a glance, and Su Ying crossed her arms and stood in front.

"What are you laughing at? Have any of you ever gotten a perfect score in any subject? If you're so capable, try passing Xie Li's exam first."

Both she and Shen Wanwan had great confidence in Xie Li and guessed that Xie Li was very likely to be among the top five in the grade.

However, saying that Xie Li should get a perfect score is really going too far; it's like putting Xie Li on the hot seat.

Anyone with a brain knows that the probability of this is extremely low, almost zero.

Shen Wanwan walked over to Xie Li and comforted her, "They can only make things up to slander you, you don't need to pay attention to them."

Wang Wenxuan's face stiffened. Wasn't this something he had made up out of thin air?

Soon, the teacher who posted the list came over. He was surprised to see Wang Wenxuan, but greeted him with a smile.

Wang Wenxuan perked up; he couldn't wait to see Xie Li make a fool of himself.

Ideally, Xie Li would do very poorly on the exam, not even making it into the top 100 in her grade. Then he could put on his teacher's airs and give her a good lecture, telling her what it means to not listen to elders and suffer the consequences.

He's eaten more salt than Xie Li has eaten rice; Xie Li should just obediently accept his teachings.

The list was posted from bottom to top, so Wang Wenxuan first looked at the top 100, starting from the bottom.

As expected, none of the students in Class 19 made it into the top 100. Although they were unhappy and felt a bit embarrassed, at least they had mentally prepared themselves beforehand.

This year's joint entrance exam was unprecedentedly difficult, and he had also consulted with other schools, so it was quite unexpected.

He kept looking at the top fifty or so, but still didn't see Xie Li's name. His mockery deepened, and he gave Xie Li a smug look.

Jiang Yifan found his name at number 98 and breathed a sigh of relief. This ranking wasn't too bad; at least he was in the top 100.
