Chapter 598: Chapter 598 How Did She Know This Secret

Ling Qingxue couldn’t help but call out to the System in her mind, wanting the System to tell her what this thing was.

But even after several shouts in her mind, she received no response from the System.

This left her feeling somewhat defeated.

At the same time, she belatedly recalled something.

It was something the System had told her after binding with her.

Never underestimate any enemy.

But upon closer thought, since binding her, the only enemy the System had marked for her was Shi Yaoguang.

So...

She...

Had she willfully provoked the person who the System strictly warned could not be provoked?

With that thought, Ling Qingxue’s heart suddenly turned cold.

No.

No, that’s not right.

Ling Qingxue thought carefully in her mind.

Perhaps the System was just warning her because it didn’t want her to be disobedient.

Shi Yaoguang was nothing more than an ordinary person; how could the System possibly not be able to handle her?

No sooner had Ling Qingxue finished this thought than she saw a pop-up window appear on the computer in Shi Yaoguang’s hands.

She didn’t recognize most of it, but... she could understand the IP address.

Looking at the displayed IP address, her feelings were incredibly mixed.

"Didn’t you say that you didn’t do it?"

Shi Yaoguang didn’t care about her mood; after searching out the IP address, she turned the computer to face her.

"I’m giving back to you the words you told me earlier."

"I didn’t slander you with baseless accusations, so..."

"As the culprit, is it time for you to apologize to me?"

Ling Qingxue’s complexion turned pale; she had thought the System’s involvement meant a sure win.

She could never have imagined that Shi Yaoguang would actually be able to find the System’s IP.

But how could that be possible?

Just as Ling Qingxue was suspecting that Shi Yaoguang was fabricating falsehoods, deliberately trying to deceive her, she heard Shi Yaoguang say, "If you don’t want to admit it, that’s fine as well."

"After all, you didn’t do this."

Upon hearing her say this, Ling Qingxue immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she felt that her earlier thoughts were more correct than ever.

Shi Yaoguang was just trying to dupe her with her words.

In fact, she hadn’t found out anything.

While Ling Qingxue was thinking this, she heard Shi Yaoguang say, "The thing inside your body is fundamentally a separate entity from you."

Ling Qingxue instantly felt guilty, though her face showed a resisting expression, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand; the thing inside you will understand," Shi Yaoguang said with confidence.

Hearing her certainty made Ling Qingxue’s heart sink again.

She had already called out to the System many times, but there was no response at all.

Yet Shi Yaoguang’s confident demeanor suggested that she had the upper hand over the System...

This completely overturned Ling Qingxue’s expectations.

Hadn’t the System said that with its presence, no hacker, no matter how formidable, could touch it?

But what was happening now?

No need for a formidable hacker, just a Shi Yaoguang, and she had found it.

This made Ling Qingxue feel the disgust as if she had swallowed a fly.

She even started to doubt Quan Sicheng.

Could Quan Sicheng, who was covertly protected by such a System, be just as unreliable as the System itself?

Shi Yaoguang couldn’t be bothered to watch her continue pondering and casually remarked, "You don’t need to doubt that thing’s capabilities."

Ling Qingxue startled, how did Shi Yaoguang know what she was thinking?

"Actually... I have mind reading abilities," Shi Yaoguang half-truthfully said.

Looking at her expression, Ling Qingxue really couldn’t tell whether she was being serious or joking.

If it was just talk, that would be fine.

If it was true...

She couldn’t even begin to imagine.

Shi Yaoguang looked at her terrified expression and curled his lips slightly, "Since I have the mind-reading technique, aren’t you worried I’ll see through some unspeakable secrets?"

"What unspeakable secrets could I possibly have?"

Ling Qingxue was still being stubborn.

"Let me guess, what exactly is that thing behind your back."

Shi Yaoguang chuckled, "Is it... a golden finger grandpa?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Qingxue’s previously worried mood instantly found some solid ground.

It was clear that Shi Yaoguang was just making wild guesses. What golden finger grandpa? She might as well be a magic fairy.

Impossible.

Just as Ling Qingxue was despising Shi Yaoguang for his guess and looking down on it, she heard him speak again with the same light tone, but this time, it made her break out in a cold sweat.

Because...

Shi Yaoguang had guessed it completely right.

Indeed, she had a System.

As Ling Qingxue broke out in a cold sweat, she was also wondering if she was overthinking it.

Maybe it wasn’t like that?

Perhaps Shi Yaoguang just happened to guess correctly.

After all, systems and such are quite common in novels these days, aren’t they?

She might just be a blind cat running into a dead mouse.

Before she could finish thinking, she heard Shi Yaoguang say, "Let me guess again..."

"Your system, it’s not an ordinary one, is it?"

"What do you mean?"

Ling Qingxue instinctively took a half step back, assuming a defensive posture.

Shi Yaoguang curled his lips, "Perhaps, your system..."

"Is one that can take you to the pinnacle of life."

"Heh, you really are joking," Ling Qingxue still wouldn’t admit it.

Such a thing, how could she admit it easily?

What if she was just bluffing her, wouldn’t she be walking right into a trap?

However... clearly, she had overthought it. Shi Yaoguang really wasn’t bluffing her.

Because, he quickly and accurately described the situation.

"You must be bound by the Top Student System, right?"

Hearing him say it with such certainty, Ling Qingxue’s heart sank.

At the same time, her look towards him contained a bit more fright.

She...

How did she know?

How could she know this secret?

Meeting her panic-stricken gaze, Shi Yaoguang curled the corner of his lips, "Don’t be surprised how I know about your situation."

"Wha... what do you mean?"

Shi Yaoguang chuckled, "Perhaps you don’t know that I have some connections with the system that’s bound to you."

"Ah?" Ling Qingxue was truly startled.

She tried to make sense of this relationship.

If what Shi Yaoguang said was true, then that would mean...

The system that had bound her knew Shi Yaoguang beforehand.

In other words, the system was on an equal footing with Shi Yaoguang.

And she, Ling Qingxue, was just someone bound by the system.

By comparison, she didn’t even have the qualification to sit on an equal level with Shi Yaoguang.

Thinking of this, her face turned extremely ugly.

Shi Yaoguang looked at her expression and shrugged, "You don’t need to feel too much pressure; it’s not a big deal for you."

"What do you mean it’s not a big deal?"

Ling Qingxue shouted instinctively, "What’s the deal with you and the system, exactly?"

If she could understand when the system showed more concern for Quan Sicheng than for her, now she truly couldn’t accept it.

Why the hell?

Why should she be considered inferior to Shi Yaoguang and Quan Sicheng?

Was the system binding her just to humiliate her like this?

If that’s the case, then why should she even be bound to the system?
