The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223: 083 Tremor, Lianlian’s Ranking (Second Update)_2

The people from the affiliated high school hadn’t slept well for two days, checking all the problems one by one.

Be a person.

Thank you.

Jiang Fulai put away his phone after replying and glanced at Bai Lian, “Shall we take a look next door?”

Next door was the closed Xingyi Martial Arts School.

It was exactly what Bai Lian wanted.

When the two reached the door next door, a dark-skinned middle-aged man was shooing away two men in suits, “Scram, I’m not selling!”

It was nearing November, and the weather had turned cool.

Most people were wearing coats.

The middle-aged man was still in a T-shirt, and when he lifted his arm, the well-defined muscles were visible, his eyes were sharp, and at a glance, one could tell he was a powerful martial artist.

He glanced at Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai, “Are you here to buy the property too? I’m not selling.”

“No, Hall Master Jin,” Bai Lian just smiled, “We just want to see what the old martial arts school looked like.”

Today was Saturday, and Bai Lian was wearing a light brown pleated skirt with a loose jacket of the same color series, lazy and relaxed, only embroidered with delicate white auspicious cloud patterns at the cuffs and neckline.

Her long hair was still casually tied up behind her head.

Her appearance was always deceptive, polite and modest, winning the affection of elders.

Even Hall Master Jin was no exception.

“I haven’t been the Hall Master for a long time,” Hall Master Jin opened the door, letting them in, “Feel free to look around.”

The Xingyi Martial Arts School was much larger than the Calligraphy Association.

Upon entering the school, there was a huge practice ground.

To the right of the practice ground were eight rows of wooden posts, ten in each row, spaced one meter apart, with three stone tables behind them and stone stools stacked next to them.

A large space was left open.

In the middle was a one-meter-wide flagstone path, with grass growing in the cracks between the stones.

To the left was a practice ground enclosed by stone bricks, with two rows of weapon racks near the surrounding wall where weapons used to be placed—but now they were empty.

Following the flagstone path straight ahead, one could see a porch, and walking through it revealed many rooms on both sides.

There were changing rooms, meditation rooms, sandbag rooms…

Passing this long corridor, one could see the accommodations in the back, with a well. Hall Master Jin lived in the corner and was drawing water, with huge dormitories on both sides.

This indicated how prosperous the martial arts school once was.

After looking around, Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai politely said their goodbyes.

“What do you think?” Jiang Fulai opened the gate, slightly bowed his head and asked.

Bai Lian shook her head, stretching out her hand to shade the sunlight in front of her eyes, and spoke softly, “I’ll ask around some more.”

She still didn’t know how the martial arts school had gone under.

Monday.

All the high schools in Beicheng were tallying student scores.

Xiangcheng High School was no exception.

The principal had arrived at the school early and convened a meeting with the homeroom teachers.

“Teacher Lu,” as soon as Lu Lingxi arrived, the principal and head of education urged her, “Quick, see how many points Ning Xiao from your class got.”

Lu Lingxi knew they were anxious. Sitting in front of the computer, she logged in with her homeroom teacher ID, retrieved the class student scores, and directly searched for “Ning Xiao” in the search bar.

The page kept spinning.

Today, all the high schools in Beicheng were pulling up scores, and the Beicheng education network was clearly overwhelmed.

It took nearly a minute to display:

Name: Ning Xiao

Subject, Score, Ranking

Chinese, 122, 74

Math, 121, 5

English, 131, 109

Science Comprehensive, 248, 25

The other teachers were much more relaxed than before, “Student Bai, her chemistry is a bit weak, not sure how she did in math. Last time she scored five points more than Ning Xiao in math, Ning Xiao missed a multiple-choice question.”

“Could she also be in the top ten in math?” one teacher boldly speculated.

Most teachers didn’t know much about Bai Lian, but they knew she was a girl, “I doubt that. I feel Bai is good at Chinese, and this time math was so hard, she can’t have scored higher than Ning Xiao.”

Everyone was guessing casually when Lu Lingxi chuckled. She knew Bai Lian very well, “Don’t underestimate girls, okay? Just watch, student Bai Lian might even have a score of 120 in math.”

After all, it was rumored that Song Min only had 130. Lu Lingxi knew her students well but didn’t think about competing with someone like Song Min.

As they spoke.

“Swoosh”

Bai Lian’s results came up.

Name: Bai Lian

Subject, Score, Rank

Chinese, 150, 1

Math, 150, 1

English, 126, 137

Natural Sciences Comprehensive, 182, 966

Total score: 608, Rank: 97

Beneath the computer screen, these few lines of scores were so clear. The several teachers who were still joking, including Lu Lingxi, were motionless.

They just silently looked at the first two lines—

[Chinese, 150, 1

Math, 150, 1]

The principal, who was on the phone with Director Pan, naturally saw it too and went silent in an instant.

The whole classroom was as quiet as could be.

For about a minute.

The usually refined homeroom teacher of Class 8 quietly uttered a word: “Damn.”
