Chapter 521 – Queen of the Night (Part One)

Ye Wanru ultimately failed to make it to the college entrance exam on time. The Map Hacking System had directed her to the most congested road section, making it impossible to move forward or even retreat. Even after calling the traffic police for help, they were powerless because the congestion was so severe that not even motorcycles could get through!

By the time the traffic was finally cleared and the exam-takers were escorted to the examination hall, Ye Wanru was a full hour late!

Despite the traffic police negotiating with the exam hall supervisors, no one had the authority to let her in after such a significant delay—far exceeding the 15-minute grace period.

Ye Wanru collapsed to the ground, her face ashen pale.

Ye Junlai’s expression was even grimmer. He had intended to thwart Ye Yunxi, but instead, Ye Yunxi had arrived on time, while his own daughter had missed the exam! Damn it, how could this happen?!

“Why didn’t you check the navigation? Why did you take the most congested route?!” he yelled.

Tearfully, Ye Wanru replied, “I did use the navigation! It showed the road was clear, but when I got there, it was jammed!”

“You took Red Flag Central Road—of course it’s congested! Anyone with common sense knows that place is a nightmare every morning!” Ye Junlai was furious. How could she have been so foolish?!

As for why the navigation showed green, regular users know that GPS systems sometimes have delays. No one suspected Ye Yunxi’s involvement.

But Ye Wanru had no chance of entering the exam hall now. If she wanted to take the test, she would have to wait for the next session!

Frustration and resentment boiled inside Ye Wanru. This meant that to have any hope of getting into Jun Yao, she would need to score above 140 on every remaining subject!

Otherwise, she would definitely fail!

Argh! This was maddening!

Ye Wanru clutched her head, utterly despondent.

Meanwhile, inside the examination hall, Ye Yunxi calmly worked through the test papers.

Throughout all exam centers in Y City, every student was scribbling furiously.

Heishui Cheng frowned, chewing on his pen as he struggled to recall everything Bai Jingchen had taught him.

Young Master Bai adjusted his glasses, answering questions with focused composure.

Ming Siye maintained an air of detached solemnity, confident in his preparations.

This was not just the college entrance exam—it was a watershed moment in their lives, a battle without gunpowder!

The two-day exam concluded quickly. No one knew their results yet; they would have to wait a month to find out.

After leaving the exam hall, Heishui approached Ye Yunxi with a grin. “How’d it go, junior?”

“Not bad, performed as usual,” Ye Yunxi shrugged indifferently.

“What about the proficiency exam?”

“Same, normal performance.”

That should be fine, right?

Heishui scratched his chin. “If we both get into Jun Yao, we’ll be classmates! Let’s look out for each other! Oh, and when you advance to Royal Duke, have you considered joining Berserker?”

Heishui was pulling out all the stops to recruit her.

Ye Yunxi smiled back. “I was rather hoping you’d consider joining Night Phoenix, senior.”

Heishui Cheng: “…”

He suddenly recalled Young Master Bai’s remark about switching teams!

No, no, he would never jump ship!

“Hey, you’re all here!” Young Master Bai emerged, beaming. He seemed to have done well, radiating satisfaction.

“Want to go somewhere to celebrate tonight? Now that the exams are over, let’s enjoy our freedom!”The pressure in senior year of high school was too intense, with endless days and nights of studying. Now that the exams were finally over, of course it was time to relax!

Heishui nodded vigorously: “That’s a great idea! Hey, I’ve always wanted to go to that place, hehe, you know what I mean!”
