Chapter 56
Si Yang was so angry that he almost burst an artery.
Me. Too slow? I came in third!
Such an achievement was clearly something to be proud of, but he was mocked when it came to Chu Liuyue! He couldn’t even refute her because she had come in second.
Even if he didn’t believe it, Chu Liuyue wouldn’t have the guts to lie in the presence of Elder Sun and the others.
After comparing their achievements, he felt his face burn as he recalled what he had said earlier. Si Yang clung onto his last hope as he struggled and asked, “You? When did you get out?”
If Chu Liuyue had been slightly faster than him, then…
“The girl came within less than half an hour of Si Ting, and you arrived one hour after her.” Sun Zhongyan smiled. Si Yang was a good kid in all other aspects, but he could get a little too proud and full of self-righteousness.
By using Chu Liuyue, he could knock down the boy’s ego by a notch.
Indeed, after Si Yang heard Elder Sun’s words, all his lucky thoughts were dispelled instantly. He lowered his head dejectedly. If there was a crack in the ground, he would have crawled into it immediately!
He looked like a joke now because he had been the one to provoke Chu Liuyue earlier.
He was a little disappointed, yet he knew that this was someone else’s secret. He was in no position to ask more. So, he muttered, “I told you. If you’ve been faking it, you could have just come in first place. I hear that this year’s first place will get to meet the ambassadors from the Tianling Dynasty!”
Chu Liuyue suddenly froze, and her pupils shrank.
