Chapter 592: Chapter 592 Are you cheating?

"Goddess, do you realize you’ve been slandered?"

It took a moment for Shi Yaoguang to recognize who had sent her the message on WeChat before she replied.

The sender was a boy she had added during military training, seemingly named Lin Sizhe.

Remembering him, she immediately replied, "What happened?"

Lin Sizhe: "Someone’s bad-mouthing you on the Emperor University forum!"

Lin Sizhe sent several screenshots and the link to the forum.

Upon opening and examining them, Yaoguang’s eyebrows slightly raised.

Lin Sizhe: "I don’t like speculating with malice, but I can’t help feeling Ling Qingxue must be connected to the messaged on the forum."

Just as Yaoguang was about to respond, he sent another message, "I wouldn’t want to suspect anyone without evidence, but the person who did this was too clean. With my computer skills, if this was just a typical post to blacken someone’s name, I should have been able to track them down. But I can’t find the poster’s IP at all."

"This is clearly premeditated bandwagonning..." Lin Sizhe shared his thoughts with Yaoguang before asking, "Goddess, what’s your take on this?"

Shi Yaoguang replied, "I’m planning to sign up for the competition."

Lin Sizhe was taken aback for a moment before he understood what she meant.

The forum posts were accusing Shi Yaoguang of pulling strings behind the scenes, taking leave as soon as she enrolled, as if marking her absence wasn’t enough.

They slandered her by saying she had ``backers’’ and would not have been considered the face of Emperor University otherwise.

They even claimed those who voted her as the school goddess were merely her paid supporters.

There were allegations suggesting Ling Qingxue was the true beauty of Emperor University.

Of course, some people began to dig up and compare photos of Ling Qingxue and Shi Yaoguang.

Without needing to state the obvious, Shi Yaoguang decidedly defeated Shi Yiqing in a landslide victory.

Such an outcome was expected and understandable.

Fortunately, the focal point of the forum’s dispute was not about beauty.

Once the topic of beauty passed, the conversation returned to the main issue at hand.

The school held competitions each semester.

The official name of the competition was "Emperor University PK Competition".

The name might have sounded a bit tacky.

But the competitions at Emperor University were always spectacular.

Content like robotics, physics experiments, biological research, and more could all be seen in the PK Competition.

To describe it as a clash of titans would be no exaggeration.

The forum post hyped up the PK Competition to the skies, then ended with a remark.

Such high-end competitions like the PK Competition were not for the faint-hearted.

And Shi Yaoguang was precisely that kind of person.

Compared to someone like Shi Yaoguang, who wouldn’t even qualify to participate in the PK Competition, Ling Qingxue was the real goddess.

There followed comments praising Ling Qingxue’s prowess and what she had prepared for this contest.

...

Shi Yaoguang told Lin Sizhe that her decision to compete was sparked by reading the post.

Ling Qingxue had signed up for three different competitions.

The first was robot development.

The second involved extraction of biological cells.

The third was a medical research paper.

All of them seemed prestigious.

Yaoguang was also curious...

Well, she just wanted to see what Ling Qingxue, tutored by Heavenly Dao, was capable of.

By now, Shi Yaoguang naturally knew that Ling Qingxue, as Heavenly Dao’s chosen new female lead, was assisted by Heavenly Dao in some way.

She also understood why Ling Qingxue would appear at a hotel and claim to be Quan Sicheng’s girlfriend.

Speaking of which, it can only be said that Heavenly Dao has made yet another lousy move.

If it weren’t for Ling Qingxue stirring things up, netizens wouldn’t have paid so much attention to Quan Sicheng’s love triangle.

It was because Ling Qingxue declared that she was Quan Sicheng’s girlfriend.

Whereas Shi Yiqing was Quan Sicheng’s ex-fiancée.

Despite having a girlfriend, Quan Sicheng booked a hotel room with his ex-fiancée...

Under a combination of coincidences, the current situation unfolded.

Even until Shi Yaoguang decided to enter the competition, Quan Sicheng’s issue hasn’t been resolved.

Because of this scandal, he lost a full one million followers overnight.

Originally, he had only seven million followers, so losing one million left him only with six million.

For a celebrity with mass appeal, this was quite a blow.

Of course, there’s a reason why it’s only this number.

Everyone who uses Weibo knows it’s possible to buy followers.

As long as you have the money, you can have as many followers as you want.

Of course, these are just zombie followers.

Real followers have to be earned on one’s own.

Since his debut, Quan Sicheng was known for "not buying followers."

He aimed for authenticity.

Now... well, it’s certainly very authentic.

Quan Sicheng’s manager was nearly pulling his hair out.

"Sicheng, can you please explain to me, what on earth is going on?"

"The internet is practically cursing you to death right now, do you realize that? You are a celebrity! What’s the last thing celebrities need? A love affair!"

"Tell me, it’s bad enough that your romance was suddenly exposed, but to be stepping on two boats at once!"

"If it weren’t for someone online guiding the public opinion in your favor, you would have been done for, do you get that?"

As Quan Sicheng listened to his manager’s relentless chatter, he felt increasingly annoyed.

"I know, can you just stop nagging?"

The manager snorted coldly, "You know? What exactly do you know?"

"Do you realize that things have gotten as bad as they could get? You must choose between the two women!"

Upon hearing this, Quan Sicheng looked at him with a speechless expression, "How do you expect me to choose?"

The manager responded with a sneer, "You won’t choose, you say? Don’t tell me you really think that just because you’re an adult, you can have both?"

"I’d advise you to wake up sooner rather than later. You’re a celebrity icon, not some aristocrat! There’s no such thing as having multiple spouses nowadays, so you better not be dreaming about having the best of both worlds."

Quan Sicheng held his forehead, "That’s not what I meant, I don’t want to choose either of them."

"No way!" The manager immediately rejected his idea, "You have to choose one."

"If you choose one now, we can still salvage your reputation. But if you reject both at once, do you think anyone will still respect you?"

"Even if there’s no story, they can fabricate one! You must make a choice between them."

Quan Sicheng ran his fingers through his hair and said with a deep voice, "I really can’t choose either of them."

"What do you mean ’can’t choose’?" The manager was almost convinced that Quan Sicheng was doing it on purpose.

As his manager, he was still single at this point.

And there Quan Sicheng was, with two beautiful women to choose from, claiming he had no choice.

Isn’t that just a joke?

Quan Sicheng shrugged his shoulders, somewhat self-deprecatingly, "Do you know why Shi Yiqing became my ex-fiancée?"

"Why?" The manager asked, puzzled, then his eyes widened, "Don’t tell me you cheated?"
