"What?!"
"The Daoist Master overtook the class monitor?!"
After dinner in the cafeteria, Chen Shi'an and Lin Meng Qiu had barely entered the classroom when they heard their classmates' shocked exclamations.
So much for keeping their lips sealed. Apparently, the seal was on a wide-mouthed jar.
News this earth-shattering was too much for the girls who had seen the results to keep to themselves. They went back to their dorms and shared it with their friends, and before long, the whole class knew-
"Seriously?"
"Wait, I still find this hard to believe. The class monitor really lost first place?"
"How many points did he get? Holy shit-how many points did the Daoist Master actually get?"
"We can't say any more. You'll know when the results come out later-"
"You're lying, right? I'm a loyalist of the old dynasty. I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death!"
"It's true. The new king has taken the throne-"
"No!"
As everyone gossiped about the results and spouted nonsense, they finally noticed Chen Shi'an and Lin Meng Qiu entering together through the back door and hurriedly fell silent.
They had thought no one would knock the Class Monitor out of first place in what remained of their high school years. Never had they expected the reversal to come so quickly.
And the person who had stormed to the top was none other than the Nine-Leak Fish Daoist Master, who had only enrolled a little over two months ago! Putting those two facts together felt like a dream. They could not have been more shocked-
Although the Class Monitor had fallen from first place, her authority remained. Curious as their classmates were, none dared approach her to ask.
Lin Meng Qiu could not be bothered to say much to anyone else either
