Chapter 283 The Tenth Place in Tacit Understanding

The moment Chanyi posted her update, the comments under Wen Xiaoxiao's update immediately contrasted with the trend of the comments.

The fans on both sides quickly started arguing.

[Do you think century-old ginseng is so easy to find? Out of fifty or sixty candidates, only Kong Wange found it. What else could that be but skill? I really don't understand some of the comments; they think it's justified that she didn't get into the experimental class.]

Sisters, let me summarize someone's sarcastic remarks: "I worked hard, I memorized everything, my feet were blistered, and I still didn't get into the honors class. What did I do wrong? I was just unlucky."

[Hahaha, the lady upstairs, if you're so good at talking, then say more!]

In response to these comments, Wen Xiaoxiao's fans rushed in and started a whitewashing campaign. In the end, no matter what Wen Xiaoxiao's fans said, Chanyi's fans would just use one sentence to refute everything.

Wen Xiaoxiao's supporter: [Don't be angry, Xiaoxiao baby. The school changed the rules. Speechless!]

A fan of the "Cicada Robe" series replied: "Your Xiaoxiao is so amazing, did she get into the experimental class? Hehe."

Wen Xiaoxiao's supporter: [Xiaoxiao, don't hold back! Kong Wange got into the experimental class by luck, shameless!]

A fan of the "Cicada Robe" series replied: "Your Xiaoxiao is so amazing, did she get into the experimental class? Hehe."

Wen Xiaoxiao's supporter: [Don't cry, Xiaoxiao baby. It's pitiful that you have talent but nowhere to use it. It's so frustrating!]

A fan of the "Cicada Robe" series replied: "Your Xiaoxiao is so amazing, did she get into the experimental class? Hehe."

It has to be said that Chanyi's fan base is far larger than Wen Xiaoxiao's, and soon the comments overwhelmingly sided with Kong Wange.

Wen Xiaoxiao tried to post a few more tea-themed posts, but they were quickly ridiculed by Chanyi's fans.

After a while, casual fans started to dislike her, and in order not to attract too much negative attention, she was forced to delete these posts.

Kong Wange looked at the "deleted" status and clicked her tongue twice. Wen Xiaoxiao's fighting power was simply too weak.

She hadn't even had a chance to perform properly before she was forced to leave the stage?

She shook her head and began to seriously browse other professional posts discussing medicine and toxicology.

After only a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.

"Miss Kong, please come to the main hall. The master of the house has something to discuss with you." The door opened, and the servant said respectfully from outside.

Kong Wange put her phone away, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "Okay, you go ahead, I'll be there in a bit."

After the maid left, Kong Wange casually gathered her disheveled hair and braided it into a simple plait before leaving the room.

On her way to the main hall, she hadn't gone far when she sensed a different kind of low pressure in the house than usual.

As she rounded the corner of the corridor, she overheard two servants whispering and finally understood the source of the oppressive atmosphere.

"I just came out of the hall and I felt that the head of the family and the second aunt seemed a little unhappy."

"Don't you know? Today was the exam at Yudao Academy, and Miss Kong took Miss Xiaoxiao's spot in the experimental class. Do you think they're happy about that?"

"Oh, isn't Kong Wange a country bumpkin? How did she manage to snatch Miss Xiaoxiao away?"

"Tch, she's just lucky. Just you wait, with her disregard for the rules and daring to steal Miss Xiaoxiao's honor, the head of the family and Second Aunt will definitely not let her off easily!"

The maid carried the tray into the main hall as she walked, completely unaware of Kong Wange emerging from the corridor not far away.

Watching the maid's figure disappear into the main hall, Kong Wange let out a soft scoff.

According to them, Wen Zhengning and Wen Zirou, the brother and sister, were waiting in the main hall to interrogate her.

She wanted to see what tricks these two could pull.

A sarcastic smile played on her lips as she strode into the main hall, her chest held high.

Inside the hall, upon seeing Kong Wange arrive, Wen Zirou indeed did not greet her warmly as usual, but instead said indifferently, "Wange is here, please sit down."

Kong Wange, adhering to the strategy of "if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move," obediently nodded: "Okay, Auntie."

Across from Wen Zirou, Wen Xiaoxiao saw Kong Wange and glared at her fiercely.

Kong Wange received her murderous glare and feigned surprise: "Cousin Xiaoxiao, are you in a bad mood? Your eyes are practically spitting fire!"

She then said earnestly, "If you're in a bad mood, you should try to control it; anger damages your liver."

Wen Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth: "I'm in a great mood, don't worry about me."

"That's good. I guess I was overthinking it. If Cousin Xiaoxiao is really in a bad mood, she can just write a few short essays to express herself. After posting them, if she's worried that others won't like reading them, she can just delete them and pretend she's dead. It's so convenient."

Even if Wen Xiaoxiao was stupid, she could tell that Kong Wange was mocking her.

Damn it, Chanyi's post just now must have been made by her.

What exactly is the relationship between this country bumpkin and Chanyi? How could he persuade Chanyi to help her time and time again?

Wen Zhengning sat in the head seat, glanced at Kong Wange, and went straight to the point: "Wange, I've heard about today's exam. You came in tenth place?"

Kong Wange smiled calmly and composedly: "Yes, Uncle."

Wen Zhengning's eyes darkened slightly: "If I remember correctly, your result in the Spiritual Pivot Competition was also tenth place?"

Kong Wange nodded: "Ten is my lucky number. I never expected to be so lucky twice."

Across from her, Wen Xiaoxiao snorted coldly: "What kind of skill is it to rely on luck? If the exam rules hadn't changed this year, this spot in the experimental class would definitely be mine."

Kong Wange wasn't annoyed at all, still smiling: "Cousin Xiaoxiao is right, but what can we do? It's a pity it's not you~"

Wen Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back any longer. She slammed her chopsticks down, pointed at her, and yelled, "Kong Wange, who are you mocking with such sarcasm?"

"Xiaoxiao." Before she could finish speaking, Wen Zhengning interrupted her in a deep voice: "Wange is right. No matter what the exam content is, the winner takes all and the loser is nothing. Your cousin got into the experimental class, so you should learn from her and stop acting like a spoiled princess."

“Uncle, why are you siding with an outsider? I thought you called this country bumpkin over here to stand up for me!” Wen Xiaoxiao stood up tremblingly and pushed her chair away: “Hmph, since she’s so nice, you guys talk to her. I’m leaving.”

Seeing this, Wen Zirou quickly pulled Wen Xiaoxiao to sit down and said, "Brother, don't blame Xiaoxiao. After all, with Xiaoxiao's strength, she could have entered the experimental class. Who knew that she would encounter this rule this year? It's understandable that she's complaining. Sigh, digging for ginseng depends on luck. If it were really about strength, Xiaoxiao wouldn't be so angry."

Wen Zirou's words implied that Kong Wange got into the experimental class by luck, and everyone present could understand that.

Sitting in the main seat, Wen Zhengning remained silent, his gaze shifting back and forth between Kong Wange, his expression unreadable. It was unclear what he was thinking.

Kong Wange always adhered to the principle of "I won't move unless the enemy moves," so if Wen Zhengning didn't speak, she wouldn't either.

After a while, Wen Zhengning raised his eyelids and looked at her, his tone serious: "Wange, to congratulate you on your good results today, your uncle has something to tell you."
