Chapter 597: Chapter 597: Where did this upstart come from daring to mess with our goddess?

Shi Yaoguang’s fans discovered the messages online, and a war of words on Weibo was about to erupt.

"Who is this wild chicken Ling Qingxue? Someone like you, worthy of clashing with our goddess?"

"Don’t think that just because we’re not from Emperor University, we don’t know. It’s true that someone used to be the campus belle of Emperor University for three consecutive terms, but that honor was broken when Yaoguang entered Emperor University. Now it’s Yaoguang who is the number one scholar and campus belle, alright?"

"Hahahahaha, it’s quite funny, a top student daring to challenge our scholar-goddess, who gave you the gall?"

Ling Qingxue also went online and, seeing these messages, got so angry her face was contorted.

Why is it that she’s just a top student, and Shi Yaoguang is the scholar-goddess?

What does she lack compared to Shi Yaoguang?

Shi Yaoguang is so irresponsibly absent from school as soon as she arrives.

And her?

She’s been focusing on her studies all along.

Everyone around her knows how serious and diligent she is in her studies. Can Shi Yaoguang even compare?

Feeling indignant, Ling Qingxue could not help but want to reason with her and tell her not to hog such honors.

However...

This wasn’t something that could be resolved by reasoning.

Shi Yaoguang looked at Ling Qingxue, who stood in front of her, looking like she wanted to argue, and revealed a mocking smile.

"Miss Ling, don’t you think your demands are being unreasonable?"

Ling Qingxue looked at her with a forced smile, "I don’t think I’m making any excessive demands."

"I’m merely making a reasonable suggestion and questioning the title you’re monopolizing."

Shi Yaoguang tilted her head, "Now I’m curious, on what grounds does Miss Ling question me?"

"As just an ordinary alumnus, or... as a rival who wants to climb over me but is standing on a cliff’s edge, teetering on the brink?"

Indeed, Ling Qingxue had accepted the System’s arrangement to rise above Shi Yaoguang, but now that Shi Yaoguang was stating it so bluntly, Ling Qingxue refused to acknowledge it.

"Movie Queen Shi, you need to be responsible for what you say."

Ling Qingxue looked at her with disdain, "This principle, as an artist, it’s normal for you not to understand, Movie Queen Shi. I can understand that."

"However... understanding doesn’t mean acceptance."

She paused, then looked at Shi Yaoguang with a critical eye, "So I advise you to think carefully before you speak."

Shi Yaoguang saw her self-righteous expression and raised an eyebrow slightly, "What are you implying..."

"Nothing much," Ling Qingxue shrugged, "I just think that your actions..."

"Yes?"

"I just think that as a public figure, you should take responsibility for what you say."

She said and gave a light chuckle, "Right now, it’s only me who knows that you slander me with empty talk, Movie Queen Shi. But if this matter spreads and more people learn about it, wouldn’t everyone think there’s an issue with you?"

"Of course, that’s not my thinking. In my view, Movie Queen Shi is certainly beyond reproach, but... there are always exceptions, don’t you think?"

"There are always exceptions, so what?" Shi Yaoguang scoffed, "Are you planning to use this to threaten me?"

"Threaten is a bit much," Ling Qingxue shook her head, her smile carrying a hint of condescension, "Consider it a lesson for you. I’m sure Movie Queen Shi will take this to heart, right?"

"Wrong."

Shi Yaoguang was not intimidated, "The nature of the online discourse about you and me is something we both are acutely aware of."

"But... others don’t know that, do they?" Ling Qingxue spoke with certainty, "What counts as common knowledge if only we know about it?"

"Or is it that..." she paused, a hint of malice appearing in her eyes, "Movie Queen Shi believes that her current status is secure, and she’s not worried about facing any backlash?"

"Of course." Shi Yaoguang smiled nonchalantly, "I have absolute confidence in myself."

"Heh," Ling Qingxue sneered disdainfully, "you say you have confidence in yourself, and that makes it true? Have you even considered..."

"Consider what?"

Shi Yaoguang narrowed her eyes as she looked at her, her gaze carrying a hint of intimidation.

Taken aback by her attitude, Ling Qingxue was dissatisfied with her own reaction.

Why had she been scared off?

Immediately, she mustered her courage, glaring at Shi Yaoguang, and said, "Don’t think for a moment that you can scare me; I wasn’t brought up to be frightened by you."

Shi Yaoguang shook her head, "I had no intention of scaring you."

"However..."

"Right and wrong must still be resolved in an orderly manner."

As she spoke, a computer suddenly appeared in her hands.

Seeing the notebook in her hand, a sense of dread washed over Ling Qingxue.

How could she have forgotten that Shi Yaoguang was a possessor of the Space Button?

The Space Button was still rare, and as one of its holders, Yaoguang was naturally coveted by many.

Unfortunately, whether it was those who desired the Space Button or those who sought to harm Shi Yaoguang for its technology, none had achieved their goal to date.

To this day, Shi Yaoguang was still doing fine.

She had even made a name for herself in the entertainment industry.

To her, this was simply humiliating.

Although Ling Qingxue should have been the more dazzling presence, it was Shi Yaoguang who consistently proved more attractive to others.

This even led her to question her own charm.

However, more than anything, it was her resentment towards Shi Yaoguang that consumed her.

Why on earth should she?

Even the System regarded Shi Yaoguang as her number one rival.

Observing the malice in her eyes, Shi Yaoguang chuckled lightly, "That look on your face, how familiar it seems."

"What do you mean?" Ling Qingxue asked in confusion.

If she hadn’t forgotten, they hadn’t had any in-depth interactions before, had they?

What was so familiar all of a sudden?

While perplexed, she heard Shi Yaoguang say, "That expression of yours, it’s very similar to a role I played in a drama."

"Which drama?"

"That hateful glance of yours, it’s as if I stole your man, abused your son, squandered your money, usurped everything you had..."

With each word Shi Yaoguang uttered, Ling Qingxue’s expression grew darker.

Although she didn’t want to admit it, well...

Shi Yaoguang’s words made a lot of sense.

However, she would never admit to being jealous of Shi Yaoguang.

She hadn’t personally done anything, after all.

Even the articles online slandering her were the work of the System.

The System had claimed that in the world of the internet, it was king!

With this declaration from the System, Ling Qingxue felt invincible.

Even if Shi Yaoguang found the most formidable hackers, they could never compete with the System.

Knowing full well that Shi Yaoguang could not be a match for her, she naturally held no fear towards Shi Yaoguang.

Unexpectedly, after Shi Yaoguang opened her laptop and tapped a few keys, a black page popped up.

On the screen, characters leapt out continuously.

Although Ling Qingxue fancied herself a top student, she couldn’t understand a thing about the content displayed there.
