Chapter 315 – Keeping a Low Profile (Part One)

When Ye Yunxi reappeared at Junyao’s school gate, the campus atmosphere underwent a dramatic shift.

Whereas people used to either ignore her or keep their distance, today her arrival drew enthusiastic gazes from all directions.

Accompanying this change was the continuous sound of +10+10 Prestige surges.

“Look, that’s Ye Yunxi, the president of Night Phoenix!”

“She single-handedly earned over a thousand points and completely dominated the competition!”

“Suddenly I feel like both her and the Night Phoenix Club are incredibly cool and dazzling!”

While these whispers circulated, Sun Chao and others gradually approached, walking proudly alongside Ye Yunxi with their heads held high.

“Goddess, goddess, goddess! Wow, today people are treating us completely differently than before!” Fang You excitedly looked around.

“That’s absolutely certain – we’re the champions of the Ancient Martial Arts Competition!” Sun Chao couldn’t help but show off.

“Hahaha, the feeling of being noticed is super awesome!!”

The group was ecstatic, knowing all this was thanks to Ye Yunxi. President, you’re truly amazing!!

[Ding! Prestige +10+10+…]

However, despite this, there were still those who looked unfavorably upon Night Phoenix.

“What’s the big deal? Getting first place in one Ancient Martial Arts Competition and they’re all puffed up?”

“Hmph, probably Ye Yunxi is the only capable one they have!”

“Exactly, the others didn’t even compete!”

“And what’s the use of being good at Ancient Martial Arts alone? Both literary and military arts are equally important!”

“Right, when next semester’s academic exams come around, Night Phoenix will probably crash and burn!”

“Hahaha, I think so too!”

The mocking voices were loud, seemingly intentional to be heard. By now, not just Night Phoenix members, but surrounding students also showed changed expressions.

But thinking about it, they weren’t wrong.

The Ancient Martial Arts Competition allowed one person to dominate due to its rules, but next semester’s academic exams wouldn’t be like that.

This wasn’t something Ye Yunxi getting perfect scores alone could raise the average for!

Moreover, Night Phoenix students had significant academic disparities – some had terrible grades that would surely fail during exams!

“Ha, right, they’ll definitely fail. What Junyao First Club? They don’t deserve that title!”

“Hey, shut your mouths! Your jealousy is utterly ugly!”

Ren Qiao could no longer restrain himself, turning back to retort.

Qin Jieyi and others also stopped walking, casting cold glances toward the speakers.

But that group persisted relentlessly: “Are we wrong? Ren Qiao, Qin Jieyi, your grades are at the bottom, aren’t they? You never could answer questions in class. With members like you, Night Phoenix doesn’t deserve to be called the top club!”

“You!”

Ren Qiao grew furious, instinctively ready to throw punches, but Ye Yunxi pulled him back.

“President!”

They’re going too far!

However, Ye Yunxi merely curled her lips slightly, indifferently brushing back her hair as she pointed to the bulletin board behind them. “Ren Qiao, Qin Jieyi, take those test papers we worked on in the club last night and post them up for everyone to see!”

Test papers?

The two hesitated momentarily before remembering Night Phoenix’s rule: daily physical and academic training was mandatory. They snorted laughs and triumphantly pulled out their papers, slapping them onto the bulletin board with a crisp smack.Ye Yunxi cast a cold glance and pointed at the bulletin board: “We’re all freshmen in high school. If anyone in our grade can score higher than those two on this exam, I and everyone in Night Phoenix will shut up and keep our heads down from now on. But if you can’t surpass their scores, then from today onward, whenever you see me or Night Phoenix, you’d better shut up and keep your heads down too!!”
