As long as she won the championship in the math competition, the principal should agree to her grade-skipping plan, right?

“Ye Lengan, as long as you can secure first place in this math competition,” Zheng Anyang turned to Ye Lengan and spoke seriously, “then no matter what request you make, I’ll agree.”

Upon hearing these words, Ye Leng’an’s eyes brightened, and she was pleasantly surprised. “Principal, is that a genuine promise? You know, you can’t go back on your word!”

What a pleasant surprise it was! Before she could even state her request, the principal had already given his agreement. She just hoped that the principal would be just as forthcoming after hearing her request.

“l won’t go back on my word,” Zheng Anyang replied with a grin, “but remember, the condition is that you secure the first place!”

This time, all Ye Lengan needed to do was secure first place, and he could redeem himself in front of Principal Zhou. As for Ye Lengan’s request, Zheng Anyang was not concerned; it was likely something as simple as taking a leave of absence.

After all, he had hardly seen Ye Lengan throughout the entire semester, so a leave of absence wouldn’t be a problem. What mattered most was that even with a leave of absence, Ye Lengan could maintain her top rank in the entire grade, so he was quite confident.

With this in mind, he easily agreed to Ye Leng’an’s request. However, when the time came for Ye Lengan to make her request, he was genuinely troubled.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry,” Ye Lengan assured him. “Principal, just wait for me to bring you the first place!”

With that, Ye Lengan turned and entered the examination hall.

Ye Xiyuan, who had been strolling slowly, couldn’t help but smirk upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s boastful words.

In her eyes, Ye Lengan was being overly arrogant. The competition hadn’t even begun, and she dared to make such bold claims about securing first place. She couldn’t wait to see the moment when Ye Lengan failed to even complete the competition.

It was unclear whether it was a coincidence or fate, but Ye Lengan and Ye Xiyuan were assigned to the same examination room.

The exam began shortly after. After receiving the test papers, Ye Xiyuan quickly glanced through them and mentally called out to the system, “System, seize the opportunity now and knock out Ye Lengan immediately.” A mechanical voice promptly replied, “The system is about to attack Ye

Lens an.”

As Ye Lengan received her test paper, she immediately picked up a pen and began writing. The questions on the paper were quite straightforward for her, and she could answer them with just a quick glance.

However, as Ye Lengan diligently tackled the test paper, she suddenly felt an intruder in her consciousness.

Here it was!

A cold smile appeared on Ye Leng’an’s face, and she was certain that this was related to Ye Xiyuan. While continuing to write, she diverted her attention to investigate the intruder in her consciousness.

She quickly discovered a small, faint light in her consciousness. Evidently, this light had infiltrated just now. Yet, she had no idea what this light represented.

Thinking about it, Ye Lengan temporarily ignored that thing and trapped it within her consciousness. She intended to study it more thoroughly after the exam to determine its nature.

She then turned her gaze towards Ye Xiyuan. When she noticed that Ye Xiyuan had been observing her, she suddenly broke into a radiant smile, laced with malice and sarcasm.

Following the system’s attack on Ye Lengan, Ye Xiyuan had been discreetly watching for any sign of Ye Lengan fainting and being carried out.

However, after waiting for a while, she didn’t observe any abnormalities in Ye Lengan. She began to criticize the system for being too slow.

Suddenly, she saw Ye Lengan looking in her direction. Startled, she immediately averted her gaze.

Although she had withdrawn her gaze, Ye Xiyuan still sensed Ye Leng’an’s malicious stare directed at her.

Her heart began to race uncontrollably.

The mere thought of Ye Leng’an’s gaze made her feel as if she knew something. However, the existence of the system was something that others couldn’t possibly know about. Even if Ye Lengan possessed remarkable abilities, she couldn’t be aware of the existence of that elusive system.

Nonetheless, despite mentally reassuring herself, Ye Xiyuan couldn’t quell her racing heart.

She took a deep breath in an attempt to regain her composure.

Simultaneously, she continued to call upon the system in her mind.

At this point, she felt that the system needed to provide an explanation. The system had promised to assist in attacking Ye Lengan’s consciousness, yet Ye Lengan appeared entirely unaffected, continuing to write vigorously. In contrast, she felt increasingly uneasy.

In such a situation, she was at a significant disadvantage.

However, no matter how much she called, the system remained unresponsive.

Nevertheless, even without a response, Ye Xiyuan wasn’t too concerned. Since the system had disappeared for a period before returning, it would occasionally be absent like this after the system was upgraded.

Because of the system’s malfunction, Ye Lengan seemed to be fine.

Ye Xiyuan was worried, but she forced herself to stay calm. However, whenever she saw Ye Lengan writing energetically, her anxiety resurfaced.

In less than half an hour, Ye Lengan stood up, took her test paper, and walked towards the podium.

The invigilator seated at the front was baffled by Ye Leng’an’s actions. “Hey, what are you…”

In fact, it wasn’t only the invigilator; the other students present also raised their heads to look at Ye Lengan.

“Submit my paper.” Ye Lengan placed her test paper on the podium without hesitation.

“What?” The invigilator was puzzled. He subconsciously checked his watch.

“Uh, it’s only been half an hour since the start of the exam.”

“l know!” Ye Lengan nodded, stating matter-of-factly, “Isn’t there a rule that allows us to submit the paper after half an hour?”

“Indeed, there is such a rule, but are you certain?” The invigilator was skeptical.

Ye Lengan gave a straightforward answer. “Yes!” After that, she turned around and exited the examination room..
