It turned out that the members of Class 1238 had not truly fallen apart. Earlier, Zhu Tong had flown into a rage because Yin Kuang intended to deal with Zhuo Yihang, declaring that she would wage war at any cost. For a moment, Class 1238 had indeed descended into brief chaos. But afterward, Zhuge Lian came up with a plan: to use this opportunity to make Class 1238 appear to split before Class 1239!

It was truly a plan that killed two birds with one stone!
