I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 412 Shouldn't you honor your bet?
The Chinese language answer sheets were distributed amidst the standoff between Jiang Yingzhu, Mei Mengqian, and Li Yan.

Li Yan also scanned the class with his divine sense and found that there were only four people with scores above 130.

Besides him, Yu Qingya, and Mengmeng, the last one is He Shen.

Just then, Yu Bing, who had been crowding in the crowd to watch Li Yan's answer sheet, immediately returned to her seat.

She glanced at her score, beamed with joy, and patted Jiang Yingzhu on the shoulder:

"Zhuzhu! What was your score in Chinese?"

"120, how much is it?"

As soon as Yu Bing opened her mouth, Jiang Yingzhu knew what she wanted to do, and glanced at her answer sheet.

"Haha, I'm 126! ​​I'm taller than you, hehe."

You were just lucky.

Jiang Yingzhu snorted, not entirely convinced. What good is getting a high score in Chinese once?

Yu Bing knelt on the stool, straightened her back, and looked down at Jiang Yingzhu.

"high!"

"Hey!"

Jiang Yingzhu felt a lump in her throat from that one word, so she turned her head away, deciding to avoid seeing it altogether.

But Yu Bing wasn't going to give up so easily; she started comparing herself to the people around her.

"Fanfan, what score did you get?"

"119."

You're not as tall as me.

"Cailing, you..."

“Not as tall as you, I’m 125, just a little shorter.”

Guo Cailing was furious, even though they had all bowed to Li Yan.

She even sat in Li Yan's seat, yet she was a point lower than Bingbing.

Lin Yufan was even more puzzled, since Yu Bing and Guo Cailing's Chinese language skills used to be about the same as hers.

Who gets the highest score depends entirely on luck.

"Bingbing, how come your Chinese has improved so much this time? I didn't see you doing any practice tests, and neither did Cailing."

Yu Bing smiled smugly, took out a cup, and said, "If you get me some water, I'll tell you."

"Okay."

"And I!"

Guo Cailing handed over her own cup, and when Lin Yufan returned, she whispered in her ear:
"Because I prayed to Li Yan before the exam, I sat in Li Yan's seat."

Lin Yufan blinked, feeling that this was unreliable.

Is this guaranteed authentic?

"The results are out, so it must be real," Yu Bing said softly.

The three of them peeked out and glanced at Li Yan in front of them.

He thought he was speaking very softly, but Li Yan could hear him perfectly well.

Speechless. Feudal superstition is unacceptable.

During the morning self-study session, Li Yan's Chinese answer sheet was circulated around.

Even by the time class started, it still hadn't fallen into his hands.

Li Ping held his answer sheet, his tone serious.

"Composition is half of the Chinese exam, so today we'll start with composition."

Let's read aloud the essay written by our classmate Li Yan.

Everyone in the class had read Li Yan's essay, so Li Ping's reading didn't attract much attention.

Instead, some people muttered under their breath, "I'm speechless, another easy class."

Ten minutes passed by reading an essay aloud, complete with analysis.

Li Ping, still not satisfied, continued to summarize:

"So this topic is actually not difficult. Everyone knows that you should write about the advantages of modern times and make a comparison between ancient and modern times."

"However, we should be as original as Li Yan. Look, he uses patriotism to connect the past and present, elaborates on the differences between the present and the past, and indirectly highlights the beauty of this prosperous era."

"Instead of simply praising and exaggerating positively, that's the difference!"

Seeing that not many people were interested, Li Ping shook the answer sheet in dissatisfaction.

"Next, let's check the previous questions. Li Yan was able to score 140, which shows that he can still get high scores in Chinese."

"Don't complain about the mysterious nature of Chinese language; think more about whether you have put in the effort."

"Essays make up half the battle, but the rest is even more important!"

Li Ping said, "Not scoring points in the front is as foolish as the Song Dynasty not conquering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun."

Upon hearing this, some people looked bewildered.

What Song Dynasty? What nonsense.

You're talking about history with a science student?

I've long forgotten.

Li Ping didn't dwell on it. "Li Yan only lost ten points on the previous questions. Now let him share his experience with everyone."

Li Yan was speechless. Just a moment ago they were talking about the Song Dynasty, and now they've delivered him to the throne.

He stood up and looked around.

Seeing that Mei Mengqian and Yu Qingya also looked over, as if they were about to steal the Bible, he said:
"It's very difficult to get as high a score as me on the reading comprehension section. It requires a strong foundation in reading, a good sense of language, excellent test-taking skills, and patience and attention to detail."

In subjective questions, you need to not only know what to do, but also why to do it, and understand the meaning of the question setter.

Most importantly, a little bit of luck.

Everyone laughed.

Li Ping coughed twice. "Luck is also part of strength."

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed even louder.

Li Yan did not sit down, but continued:
"However, even without extensive prior knowledge, it is still possible to score 120 by doing more practice questions, mastering techniques, and writing a decent Chinese essay."

After saying that, he sat down.

"It really was just luck."

Lin Yufan stared wide-eyed at Guo Cailing and Yu Bing.

"You guys are cheating!"

After two easy Chinese language classes, and after the long break, during biology class, teacher Jiang Xinting handed out the answer sheets.

Jiang Yingzhu glanced at Li Yan's grades.

I was completely blinded by the two nines.

Although she felt that Li Yan was really going to lose this time, she couldn't feel happy at all.

Damn it, is this even a score a human could achieve?!
Jiang Yingzhu glanced at her score of over seventy and wanted to roar to the sky.

After distributing the answer sheets, Jiang Xinting summarized the overall performance of Class 1.

Then she said, "I heard your English teacher has already gone over the biology exam."

"Yes, teacher!"

"Teacher, you might as well speak English."

A chorus of laughter and jeers erupted below. Jiang Xinting raised her hand to signal for quiet, then smiled.
"The English teacher won't go into detail. If you have any questions about the biology exam, you can ask me."

"There are still twenty minutes left in get out of class. If you have no questions, you can take out your textbooks and start reviewing."

Seeing this, everyone in the class felt a little disappointed.

However, previewing is always better than attending class.

Just then, Chen Xiyuan, who was sitting next to the podium, raised his hand.

"Teacher, actually, Teacher Zhou didn't explain some of the questions clearly. Could you please explain them again?"

These words immediately drew a chorus of curses.

"Damn it! What's with this bastard's act?!"

"Fine, Aruba, you're out of class."

Jiang Xinting was also taken aback; it was the first time she had ever heard such a request.

She smiled and shook her head, saying:

"Okay, mark the questions you don't understand, and I'll explain them again so we don't waste time."

Chen Xiyuan nodded slightly and recited several questions with unusual seriousness.

This has nothing to do with him being the class representative; he just really wanted to improve.

He only scored 83 points in this exam, which is quite far behind Li Yan's score.

Li Yan didn't care what he talked about; he just checked Jiang Yingzhu's test paper and highlighted the key points for her.

Highlight the key points for her.

Mei Mengqian doesn't need to, as she has already reached an excellent level.

"The main thing is to get more exposure to different question types and test-taking techniques."

"Then it's just memorization. If you can get these questions right just by memorizing them, how did you get them wrong?"

Jiang Yingzhu rested her chin on her hand, looking utterly dejected.

"Stop talking. I felt that was too easy. I thought the question setter had hidden a trap. It was correct at first, but I changed the answer when I was checking it."

Li Yan was speechless; it really was a classic example of a disastrous mishap.

"Trust your intuition, just check the name, exam number, and any blank spaces."

"Oh."

Jiang Yingzhu nodded, her brows furrowed as she pondered why Li Yan was always the one teaching her.

When her chemistry results came out in the afternoon, her brows furrowed even more.

Eighty, a score higher than expected, doesn't that mean she's going to exceed her plans?

"Mengmeng, let me see yours."

Jiang Yingzhu asked to see Mei Mengqian's answer sheet and looked at her score.

"Ninety! Mengmeng, you also exceeded expectations!"

Mei Mengqian nodded. "It seems everyone scored very high on this chemistry exam; it was relatively easy."

"But those questions were clearly very complicated."

"It's just complicated to read; we're scaring ourselves."

Jiang Yingzhu sighed and exchanged a glance with Mengmeng.

"Wouldn't that mean..."

"draw!"

Wednesday evening.

Li Yan had a phone in front of him, showing the scores of himself, Jiang Yingzhu, and Mei Mengqian.

He looked up at Mei Mengqian and Jiang Yingzhu.

"It seems we were all wrong."

Jiang Yingzhu nodded. "According to the rules, if it's a draw, both sides must either agree to the other's conditions or refuse to agree to them."

"Mengmeng, which one do you choose? I choose the first one."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan's eyelids twitched, and he immediately tried to dissuade him.

"Hey, what's so great about being the first one? I can wear a catgirl outfit, but can you guys even stand it?"

Jiang Yingzhu imagined the scene; it was somewhat funny, but even more cringe-worthy.

"Then let's change it to agreeing to one condition," Hua Junshu suddenly said, "which is exactly the same as mine."

It's Wednesday, and the citywide rankings haven't been released yet.

But she estimates it will be released tomorrow.

Unsurprisingly, she and Li Yan were both ranked first in their grade.

That's not important; we should look at each other's city rankings.

However, in terms of scores, she scored two points lower than Li Yan.

"This is good!"

Jiang Yingzhu's eyes lit up as she looked at Mengmeng.

"Mengmeng, what do you think?"

"I think it's okay."

"No, shouldn't you ask for my opinion?" Li Yan asked, puzzled. Wasn't he the one who made the bet?

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yingzhu, Mei Mengqian, and Hua Junshu looked over with strange expressions.

"Do you want to wear it?"

Jiang Yingzhu touched her chin.

"Could it be that since last time, you've opened the door to a new world? If so, that's not impossible."

"stop!"

Li Yan pressed his hand to her mouth.

My opinion is that I have no opinion.

"Tch, you're sick." Jiang Yingzhu and the other two rolled their eyes.

Li Yan didn't care. He pointed at Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian, coughed, and then pointed to the three catgirl outfits that had just been unpacked in the living room.

"Ahem! Now that the bet is settled, shouldn't you honor it?"

The two men's expressions changed; they hadn't expected Li Yan to do this now.

I wasn't prepared at all.

"No, we have to wait for my senior to come together."

"Exactly! And the clothes need to be washed first, otherwise they won't be clean."

Hua Junshu blinked and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Li Yan then asked, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"Save it for now," Jiang Yingzhu said, not having thought of anything else at the moment.

Mei Mengqian nodded, "Me too."

Li Yan nodded and urged them to wash the clothes.

Why aren't you washing?

"Those are clothes for you."
