In the end, Shen Yi still managed to send Wu Yong away.
Before leaving, Wu Yong looked at Shen Yi with the eyes of a wronged woman.
Shen Yi sighed.
Then, I stepped into the hotel.
The lobby was magnificent and empty, with only a few service staff standing there.
A boy came out.
Shen Yi happened to meet his gaze.
He paused for a moment.
Then he immediately ran back.
"Chen Yi is back!"
What's going on?
Shen Yi was both amused and exasperated. He wasn't some vicious killer, so why was he being reacted to like this?
The next second.
The boy's shouts echoed throughout the entire hotel!
"Chen Yi is back!?"
"Oh my god, Chen Yi! Quick, quick! Go check it out!"
A series of noisy footsteps approached.
Countless heads popped out from the first, second, and third floors at the same time.
Pairs of curious eyes stared intently at Shen Yi.
Shen Yi was completely dumbfounded. What was going on?
He didn't do anything!
"Chen Yi, you're amazing!"
"Yeah! I wouldn't even dare to dream of a necromancer ranking thirty-fifth!"
Shen Yi then understood the gist of it.
His ranking at number one on the overall leaderboard was not leaked.
However, one of the weakest professions can rank thirty-fifth on the overall list.
This is already incredibly incredible.
"Besides Mu Qingxue, Shen Yi is ranked the highest, and he's a necromancer!"
"Who is Mu Qingxue? She's a Thunder Mage! It's normal for her to be ranked high, but I wonder how much effort Shen Yi put into getting her ranked!"
"That's right! Shen Yi, you are the pride of Jiangnan No.1 High School!"
Shen Yi wasn't used to this feeling of being fawned over, but she was still touched.
That makes sense, considering it's just a separate instance of Jiangnan No. 1 High School.
Even if Shen Yi achieves great results, even if he comes in first place, there will still be people who feel dissatisfied.
This is human nature.
But things are different now.
Once outside of Jiangnan No.1 High School, the students naturally banded together.
To put it bluntly, it's called uniting against external threats.
Mu Qingxue and Shen Yi have certainly brought honor to Jiangnan No. 1 High School.
"He is not ranked thirty-fifth overall."
A clear, cold voice rang out.
The air in the entire hall seemed to freeze suddenly.
Instantly, there was complete silence!
Mu Qingxue stepped out from the crowd and stared intently at Shen Yi.
"There's something wrong with that list."
"Shen Yi's ranking shouldn't be thirty-fifth."
Chen Yi felt helpless.
It seems Mu Qingxue is still struggling with this matter.
Two girls pouted.
"She's just Mu Qingxue, what's so great about her?"
"Don't say that. He's ninth on the overall list, so what's wrong with him being a little arrogant?"
"She's ninth on the overall list, but that's only because she's a Thunder Mage! Shen Yi is a Necromancer!"
Shen Yi frowned.
Thanks to the attribute bonus, Shen Yi's ears were extremely sensitive, and he naturally overheard the two girls' whispers.
He had heard that Mu Qingxue wasn't popular, mostly among the girls.
Where there are admirers, there are bound to be envious ones.
In addition, Mu Qingxue has a cold and aloof personality, and many times others think that she is pretending to be cool and acting like a spoiled young lady, but in fact Mu Qingxue is not very good at getting along with people.
Despite Mu Qingxue's illustrious reputation, she was the subject of much gossip behind her back.
Shen Yi was different. He had better grades than Mu Qingxue, but he was easygoing and usually treated people very gently.
In the eyes of the students at Jiangnan No.1 High School, it was just that Shen Yi was unlucky to awaken as a necromancer, which was even a bit of a pity.
Now that Shen Yi has achieved good results, everyone is naturally happy for him.
He thought for a moment, "Mu Qingxue, we can talk about this later."
"Why?" Mu Qingxue frowned. "This matter is so important that everyone should know about it."
You're not trying to let everyone know, you're trying to mislead everyone!
Shen Yi couldn't do anything about Mu Qingxue's personality.
He had no choice but to quickly pull Mu Qingxue away to prevent her from saying anything more outrageous.
...
"Where did you go just now?" Mu Qingxue thought for a moment, "To find Chief Ye?"
"You've misunderstood. I was just handling some things."
Shen Yi sighed, "As for the rankings, I've already taken care of it."
He gave a brief account of his conversation with Ye Dingtian, but omitted a few important points.
After hearing Shen Yi's words, Mu Qingxue's icy expression finally softened.
"Elder Xing personally crafted your equipment... and Senior Blue Rain too?"
“That’s right, I’ve gotten what I wanted.” Shen Yi chuckled.
"Since you put it that way, I won't say anything more."
Mu Qingxue paused for a moment, then said, "I just feel that the honor should belong to you."
"It's not important." Shen Yi waved his hand. "Living with a halo is exhausting."
"You've always been this kind of person, even during exams."
Mu Qingxue pursed her lips, "Every time the rankings come out, you glance at them and leave, as if you don't care at all what rank you are."
She wasn't a competitive person, but Shen Yi always calmly ranked above her.
Mu Qingxue secretly began to compete with Shen Yi.
However, the result wasn't very good.
Shen Yi smiled and said, "I don't care about such things."
"So what do you value?" Mu Qingxue asked directly.
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment.
Ye Dingtian had asked him the same question earlier.
He thought for a moment and gave the same answer.
"It's about strength."
Mu Qingxue blinked. "Wouldn't that... leave me lonely?"
Shen Yi was taken aback. "These two things are unrelated, aren't they?"
"If someone is introverted, they can't possibly have many friends just because they're not very capable, right?"
“I meant…”
Mu Qingxue wanted to say that this wasn't what she meant, but seeing Shen Yi's bewildered expression, she felt inexplicably annoyed.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
Mu Qingxue glanced at Shen Yi, "Are you aware of the notice that was just issued?"
"What notification?"
"Regarding the college entrance examination reform."
"ah……"
Shen Yi recalled what Chief Ye had just told him, but he hadn't expected the notice to be issued so quickly.
"I heard it from Wu Yong."
Which school do you want to apply to?
Shen Yi shook his head. "I haven't decided yet. What's wrong?"
Mu Qingxue frowned. "You don't want to tell me?"
"That's slander!" Shen Yi retorted. "I really haven't thought this through."
"Then tell me when you've thought it through."
Shen Yi instantly became wary. "What do you want to do?"
"I……"
Mu Qingxue opened her mouth, and a blush instantly appeared on her cheeks.
"You came in first place in this competition, and I'm not convinced."
Mu Qingxue snorted, "I'll beat you at least once."
"When the university's internal admissions come around, I'm going to beat you there!"
Shen Yi's lips twitched.
Are all women this scary? Just because someone didn't do as well as you in a test, does she have to be superior to them?
