After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 604: She’s The Only Exception

Chapter 604: Chapter 604: She’s The Only Exception

Ling Qingxue, with the idea of finding evidence, did not overturn her own speculation.

And she firmly stated, "Don’t think I’ll be scared of you just because you have more people! I’ll definitely find out the dirty tricks you’re up to."

"Since Miss Ling is so confident, I’ll just wish you in advance that your wishes come true."

...

Everyone present noticed the incident between the two.

Some even went to tell the school leaders about it.

Standing tall for a century, Emperor University is an institution with deep roots.

Anyone who becomes a director at Emperor University is someone with significant influence.

If you are just rich, you simply cannot sit in that position.

Ling Qingxue’s words undoubtedly stirred up trouble.

"Miss Ling." A representative from the university directors approached Ling Qingxue.

The competition hadn’t started yet, but Ling Qingxue was called away in advance, leaving the audience in the stands bewildered.

After all, people came to the Imperial University PK Competition not just for the thrill of the contest.

Many were there specifically because of Ling Qingxue’s fame.

Being one of the focal points of everyone’s attention, Ling Qingxue’s presence was naturally dazzling.

Her being asked to leave the stage was immediately noticed by everyone.

"What’s going on?"

"Why was Ling Qingxue called away?"

"Could there be a problem with the competition?"

"What kind of problem could there be? The competition is about to start, why don’t you just watch the game instead of whispering here?"

"We’re just here to watch the game, what’s the problem with that?"

"Ling Qingxue seemed to have had a conflict with Shi Yaoguang just now, and then she was taken away..."

Some observant people noticed this.

Upon hearing this, Ling Qingxue’s fans immediately exploded.

"What’s Shi Yaoguang’s deal? Is she so arrogant because she has a powerful background that she doesn’t even consider regular students?"

"Ling Qingxue is our idol! What right does Shi Yaoguang have to have her taken away?"

"No, I must find someone and demand an explanation."

"Could it be that Shi Yaoguang, afraid of losing to Ling Qingxue, deliberately had her taken away in advance?"

"All those online articles about Shi Yaoguang crushing Ling Qingxue made her sound so impressive, but is this all there is? Not to mention coming up with a decent work, but even her means to deal with an enemy are so low-level. Isn’t it clear she’s got a screw loose?"

"Ah, why are you guys so worked up? Haven’t I told you before? Most of today’s stars barely have a brain."

"Don’t just look at the personas they present online; those are just tools to fry up and gather fans."

"That’s true. Shi Yaoguang is just about her looks, and her acting is just barely passable, very mediocre."

These remarks were whispered in different parts of the audience stands.

Naturally, there were similar comments around Bai Zhantang.

At first, when he heard these, he couldn’t help but feel secretly delighted.

If Shi Yaoguang was really as brainless as everyone said, then he was safe.

He didn’t need to worry about anything anymore.

But then...

Upon further thought, he suddenly realized that he was probably the fool.

Who is Quan Jinbei?

Would a woman he’s taken an interest in be a fool?

Obviously not.

With that in mind, he couldn’t help but speculate in his heart about what this "rumor" was all about.

It was a fact that Ling Qingxue was taken away in full view of everyone.

That Ling Qingxue had a conflict with Shi Yaoguang before being taken away was also a fact.

If it weren’t for his confidence in Quan Jinbei’s woman, Bai Zhantang might think that Shi Yaoguang was sabotaging herself.

While everyone was busy discussing Ling Qingxue suddenly being asked to leave the stage, the first match on stage had already started to take shape.

Apart from those who were innately from the architectural field or interested in it, most people were still discussing Ling Qingxue’s situation.

The contestants who had just left the stage overheard this and started gossiping curiously.

"I see you’re all chatting, what are you talking about?"

"You wouldn’t know since you were competing just now, but Ling Qingxue was taken away! Here’s what happened..."

After getting the scoop, the person who had just come off stage glanced at Shi Yaoguang’s spot before saying with confusion, "Isn’t Ling Qingxue standing right over there?"

Upon hearing this, the one who had been speaking looked over reflexively.

And sure enough...

Ling Qingxue was indeed standing there.

When had she returned then?

This question successfully bothered them.

"When did Ling Qingxue come back?"

Someone in the front row interrupted, "I know!"

"Ling Qingxue was escorted back by the person who took her away earlier."

At that, some people said with exasperation, "Who’s asking you that? We want to know what she went off to do."

Feeling dismissed, the previous speaker was suddenly less willing, huffing indignantly, "I actually do know that."

"You know? How would you know?"

"That’s a long story, but I can make it short."

The young man’s girlfriend was volunteering at the laboratory building today.

She was the one who had taken Ling Qingxue away.

The young man knew what had happened only after chatting with his girlfriend.

"Ling Qingxue carelessly slandered Shi Yaoguang and the university officials, claiming she had connections and backing. The university officials weren’t happy with her unfounded accusations and took her in for a talk, even making her sign an assurance."

Upon hearing this, the crowd’s initial reaction was disbelief.

Ling Qingxue was their goddess.

The image of the goddess was always untouchable.

Since when did the goddess also gossip behind people’s backs?

Actually, she did it right in front of Shi Yaoguang, spouting off recklessly.

It was a bit like breaking her character.

Those who originally liked Ling Qingxue unconsciously began to back off.

Ling Qingxue didn’t know about these reactions.

She was forced to sign an assurance not to talk nonsense anymore before she was brought back.

If she hadn’t signed the assurance, the university officials had no intention of letting her return to continue in the competition.

Despite being treated this way, she didn’t reflect on herself.

Instead, she blamed everything on Shi Yaoguang.

If it weren’t for Shi Yaoguang, how could she have been treated like this?

Thinking this way, her malice towards Shi Yaoguang grew even deeper.

But Shi Yaoguang wasn’t afraid of her; when their eyes met, Shi Yaoguang simply curved her lips into a shallow smile.

It was precisely this nonchalant attitude that infuriated Ling Qingxue even more.

The calmer Shi Yaoguang appeared, the more Ling Qingxue seemed like a jumping clown.

The competition time quickly passed by for the most part.

It finally began to enter the exciting and tense stage.

The first displays were usually those that weren’t very important or, say, obviously lacking the potential to make the top three.

The later ones were more significant competitions.

Whether it was the works or the contestants, they had all been carefully selected.

There was one exception, however.

That was...

Shi Yaoguang.

When Shi Yaoguang registered, the organizers of the Imperial University PK Competition didn’t go through a rigorous selection process but let her through directly.
