It's All for Your Own Good!
As soon as she finished speaking, four options suddenly appeared in her eyes.
[Option A: A domineering reply, "After all, I'm just a new transfer student, so I still have to give face to the top students." Completion reward: Star Source +30]
[Option B: Humbly admit the mistake, admitting it was accidentally overlooked, and promise not to repeat it next time. Completion reward: Ferocious Springwater +1]
[Option C: Bravely admit, "I did it on purpose!" Completion reward: 20+ Strength]
[Option D: Free to answer. Completion reward: Speed +5]
Ling Mengxue was shocked. What kind of bizarre option was this?
Choosing option A is definitely not a good idea; it might lead to death. But the other rewards are too few.
After thinking it over, she made a decisive choice and looked seriously at Liu Yan.
"Teacher, actually I did it on purpose."
"??"
"I'm sorry, teacher. I shouldn't have left it blank on purpose. I won't do it again next time. But I am a new transfer student, and I still have to give face to the top students, right? I can't let my own mistakes damage my classmates' confidence, or I'll be a sinner."
Liu Yan took a deep breath and forced herself to suppress her anger as she listened to her finish speaking.
But upon reflection, she felt that what he said actually made a lot of sense.
It left people speechless in an instant.
"You... you should go back first. Be more careful next time, otherwise some teachers from other classes have suspected you of cheating. They said you copied the answers and were worried about getting too high a score, so you deliberately left a few questions blank. In the end, the teacher believed you and helped you suppress the doubts."
Thank you, teacher.
Ling Mengxue nodded with a smile, looking like a well-behaved and sensible model student. Seeing this, Liu Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of pity, and she sighed helplessly.
After everyone left, she began to think about the question again.
If this child really thinks that way, then she's far too kind, always thinking of others.
At this moment, Liu Yan was completely unaware that she had fallen into a trap.
If Ling Mengxue were replaced by an ordinary-looking boy who said such things, she would absolutely not believe it, and might even think that the student was crazy and throw him in the school clinic.
But now, all she could think about was Ling Mengxue's sweet smile and her words of humbly admitting her mistakes.
Walking down the corridor, Ling Mengxue looked relaxed and at ease.
"I didn't expect the 'Charm Technique' to actually work. Even with the power level turned down to the lowest setting, the effect is still quite noticeable. If I used it on a guy, he'd probably be completely bewitched, right?"
Fortunately, the impact won't be too great; he should regain consciousness in a few minutes.
There was no other way; if she didn't do it, she would die.
[Ding! Star Source +30 (40/100)]
[Ding! Ferocious Springwater +1 (Use with caution!)]
[Ding! Strength +20 (40/100)]
[Ding! Speed +5 (Current: 15/100)]
Ling Mengxue paused slightly as she listened to Xi He reciting the names of the dishes in her mind.
She originally just wanted to try exploiting a bug, but who knew it would actually work.
'I hope this account won't be banned again?'
Last time it was due to the fair rules of Law of Destiny, but this time it's been a gradual accumulation of my own efforts.
Back in the classroom, most of the students were delighted to see that she was perfectly fine. Apart from one or two who looked at her with some odd curiosity, everything seemed normal.
Liu Yinxuan a question, the topic would soon be steered to the very popular school festival.
This is actually just a variety show or school anniversary dance, used to assess students' interest in art and leisure activities after class.
Each class must submit at least one group or individual project; participation by an individual is also acceptable.
Ling Mengxue used to treat it as just a performance and didn't take it too seriously. That's just how she is—low-key. 'I'll just sit in the audience and quietly watch your performance~'
In short, just treat it as a variety show, comedy, or music program. At least that day is relaxing, there are no classes, so you can just enjoy it quietly.
She didn't attend the last New Year's Eve party, and this time it's a group activity at school, so she can't just say she's not interested and leave.
Ling Mengxue sat back down, looking relaxed. But her arrival had already made many classmates restless, and they all extended olive branches to her, inviting her to perform a show together.
Among them was even a distinguished young master from a wealthy family, who, despite his young age, already wore a Rolex watch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, clearly indicating his privileged background.
Although he had an ordinary appearance, he possessed an air of arrogance and walked with a steady gait.
Ling Mengxue was very familiar with this aura; she had only ever seen it in martial artists and had never paid attention to it before. She never expected that there would be such a person in her class.
However, this person is too low-key, almost never showing off, which explains why no one remembers him.
"Hello, Ling. My name is Shangguan Li. You may not have heard of me, but I've been watching you ever since you arrived. Would you do me the honor of dancing with me at the school festival?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, it seemed no one expected that someone would be so bold as to step forward and invite Ling Mengxue to dance.
Although the school festival is still some time away, this is practically a done deal, and this scene naturally made many people grit their teeth, wishing they could go up and beat that guy up.
"Damn it! Can't you see that we're all still undecided about what to perform? And you're already trying to steal someone away?"
"Hey! Do you want to die? He's the eldest son of the Shangguan Family. It's normal that many people don't recognize him because he keeps a low profile, but I'm still warning you in advance, don't look for death." A knowledgeable person quickly reminded him.
"The Shangguan Family? Which Shangguan Family?"
"How many Shangguan Family are Linzhuo?"
"Could it be the Shangguan Family dominate the entire Linzhuo? I've only heard that they're a powerful family, but I don't know much about them. My dad owns a small company, so I only know a little bit about them. Who would have thought we'd run into a young master from such a powerful family who's out here for training? This is too low-key! Too pretentious!"
[img=700,463]htt Will things get better after that?
Chapter Ninety-Five: It's all for your own good!
Ling Mengxue sighed inwardly, and was about to refuse when three more options popped up in her eyes.
The multiple-choice questions came so quickly, doesn't that mean I can max out my attributes very quickly?
[Option A: Decisively refuse. Completion reward: Star Source +10]
[Option B: Agree and request a deposit of 1 million. Completion reward: Speed +20]
[Option C: The aloof goddess will not answer; choose to ignore. Completion reward: Law of Space +5%]
Hmm? The second option is a bit unethical.
"Sorry, I don't like dancing with strangers."
Ling Mengxue answered calmly, and those around her breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Putting aside whether she can dance or not, so what if her dancing skills are maxed out? She can just be a decoration.
She didn't like this thing at all; she mainly stayed with those two young ladies.
[Ding! Star Source +10 (50/100)]
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Li shook her head helplessly, her gaze quickly dimming. Without uttering a word, she silently returned to her seat.
Those who saw this were furious but dared not speak out. According to the law of word of mouth, many people probably already knew his identity.
You can't curse them directly, but behind the scenes, there are definitely many people spewing profanities.
"You think you're so great because you're the goddess? What kind of attitude is that?!"
Who would have thought that such an awesome person would be so low-key?
Everything was normal until lunchtime, with classes resuming as usual, and everyone was waiting for the parent-teacher meeting on Friday.
Liu Yinxuan found her after school.
"Xiaoxue, wait a moment."
"??"
"You should still be careful around Shangguan Li. Although he's a low-key person, I don't really know what kind of person he is. I'm worried he might be a threat to you, so I'm just giving you a heads-up."
"Fine."
"..."
After some explanation, Ling Mengxue roughly understood, while Liu Yinxuan herself wasn't entirely clear either.
In other words... Shangguan Li is a direct descendant of the Shangguan Family. As the young master of an ancient family, he holds a superior position. In fact, the entire Linzhuo can be considered their territory. With just one phone call, they can reach the mayor or bureau chief and have someone arrested and imprisoned.
However, no one expected that such an important person would study here, and so humbly, going to and from school by reading his own books.
Ling Mengxue didn't care how Liu Yinxuan knew these things; she figured it was just meddling.
Dragon Soaring High School
During school dismissal time, a Bugatti LVN supercar was parked at the school gate. This luxury car, priced at nearly 20 million yuan, attracted attention even from those who know nothing about cars due to its imposing appearance.
"Who is this rich kid from another wealthy family? So pretentious!"
"What do you have to do with me?"
"..."
As one of the top five schools in the city, Dragon Soaring High School often has luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan parked at the school gate to pick up and drop off students, so most people have gradually gotten used to it. However, there are not many top-of-the-line luxury cars like these.
"Peach, what brings you here today? Did you miss me?"
In the car, Shangguan Li joked with a hint of amusement.
Don't let his low-key aristocratic demeanor in school fool you; once he leaves the school gates, his inherent air of superiority instantly takes over.
He might be a bit pretentious, but he's generally very restrained and low-key.
"Brother... I heard there's a new transfer student at your school... named Ling Mengxue, do you know her?"
Shangguan Tao, sitting in the driver's seat, suddenly blurted out this sentence.
Shangguan Li was taken aback. "Ling Mengxue? What do you need her for? She's a student in our class, quite pretty. I knew she just transferred here."
Shangguan Li's tone was noticeably uneasy as he spoke, but he hid it well, and it was impossible to detect unless you listened carefully.
Although Shangguan Tao was still just a high school girl, she was incredibly perceptive. She glanced at her brother through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but chuckle.
"I did need to see her, it's about a friend of mine... But you, brother, you didn't go and confess your feelings to her... and get rejected, did you? Weren't you supposed to be a cool, aloof god? How come you gave up so quickly?"
Shangguan Li's lips twitched. She stopped beating around the bush with her glib-tongued younger sister and suddenly became much more casual.
"Just tell me straight, you've never been so kind as to come pick me up from school before. What do you want? To help you make an appointment?"
"Wow! I didn't expect my brother to understand me so well~"
Shangguan Tao chuckled, "That's right, help me arrange to meet her. Anytime in the next few days is fine, see when she's free~ What goes around comes around~"
Seeing her younger sister's smiling expression, Shangguan Li couldn't help but feel helpless and sighed inwardly.
"I'm warning you beforehand, she might not agree. If you can't arrange a date, don't bother her. She's... a really nice person..."
"No way, bro? You've really fallen for her? Is she really that pretty? She can't be prettier than me, can she?"
As she spoke, Shangguan Tao casually pointed to herself.
She's at least an idol star, so she's extremely confident in her looks.
"..."
His younger sister's expression was clear, but Shangguan Li found it difficult to speak and ultimately remained silent, because he felt that self-esteem was very important.
With a sigh, he turned his gaze to Dragon Soaring High School and began to mutter to himself.
"I originally planned to interact with you as an ordinary person, but instead I've been met with estrangement. I'm not pretending anymore; I'm a rich young master, and I'm laying my cards on the table!"
After returning home at noon, I was still alone in the empty city.
