The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

I guess those big bosses also occasionally look after their kids and give them gifts or something.

After Bai Jinxuan waited inside for a while, Yao Yao arrived with her family and friends.

Looking at the dense crowd outside the window, Bai Jinxuan was stunned.

"What's going on? Yao Yao, are you going to fight someone?"

Hearing this, Murong Yao sat down next to Bai Jinxuan, her cheeks slightly flushed, and replied somewhat awkwardly, "This trend started after the cultural performance. I originally wanted to sneak over, but someone spread the word that I was going to see my boyfriend... and that's how it ended up."

"That's a bit scary, isn't it, Yao the great singer?"

Bai Jinxuan withdrew her gaze, turned to stare at her friend's face, and smiled.

Hearing this, Murong Yao's face turned even redder, and she clenched her small fist and gently tapped Bai Jinxuan's body.

"Seriously, don't call me that. I only sang one song... and they were super annoying."

"Huh? Just how annoying is 'super annoying'?"

Bai Jinxuan mimicked Murong Yao's tone, drawing out the word "super" very long.

“Take today for example, I just came to meet you and have a chat, but it’s been turned into a riot.”

With a mournful face, Murong Yao threw herself into Bai Jinxuan's arms, feeling her warm body temperature.

Seeing this, Bai Jinxuan felt helpless. This little girl was still the same as when she was a child, always rubbing against her.

It's just that he's taller.

She reached out and, while tidying up Murong Yao's hair, took out a rabbit hair clip from her pocket and put it on her.

"After all, Yao Yao is so beautiful, anyone who sees her would be moved. Look, take a look."

He took a makeup mirror out of his bag and handed it to Yao Yao, adjusting the angle to align with the hair clip.

"How is it? I made it myself."

"So cute!" Murong Yao's eyes lit up. She excitedly took the mirror, put her hand on her head and touched it. "I didn't expect that you, Xiao Xuan, could not only make dolls, but also hair clips."

"Hmph, of course. And let me tell you, if you ever encounter danger, just break off the rabbit ears, and I will immediately turn into light and fly to your side to protect you."

Bai Jinxuan put her hands on her hips, looking quite smug.

"Really? Then I'll have to add a spell."

Murong Yao looked in the mirror, clasped her hands together, and created two new magic circles, which she then engraved on the eyes of the rabbit hairpin.

"This is... link magic? What have you linked to?"

"Protective magic! Such a cute hair clip, if I accidentally break it, I'll have nowhere to cry."

Bai Jinxuan pursed her lips and said seriously, "I'm not joking with you. This hairpin is a one-time life-saving item. If you encounter danger, break off the rabbit ears, and a very powerful magic shield will be deployed. Its duration is enough for me to save you."

"Alright, alright, Xiaoxuan, why are you so worried? I've already put an extra layer of protection on it. Besides, there's no danger at No. 2 Middle School. There are surveillance cameras everywhere! Xiaoxuan, you're overthinking it!"

Oh yes, yes, yes, I killed someone right under the surveillance cameras at your No. 2 Middle School.

See Murong Yao

Completely lacking the sense of crisis expected of a big star, Bai Jinxuan was prepared to give her a good lecture, but the other party preemptively asked about her situation.

"Xiaoxuan, I heard you went to No. 1 High School."

No, sis, are you that well-informed? I just got a smart bracelet.

Bai Jinxuan blinked, her bloodshot eyes filled with disbelief.

Murong Yao witnessed this scene and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"You don't think you can keep your number one ranking a secret, do you? Now, every science student at No. 2 High School knows your name: Bai Jinxuan, the genius girl from No. 5 High School, nicknamed 'White Flash'."

"What an awful nickname."

"And there are people who call you White Rabbit, Silver Demon, Silver Warrior."

As Murong Yao spoke, her tone gradually became dejected.

She sat up straight, placed her hands on her thighs, turned her head away, and dared not look at Bai Jinxuan's face.

Why...do you want to go to No. 1 High School?

"..."

The atmosphere gradually turned cold.

The hustle and bustle outside the window faded into the distance, and the hoarse cawing of crows was somewhat jarring.

Yes, why should I go to No. 1 High School?

Bai Jinxuan took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Various memories surfaced in her mind. Perhaps it was destined that this day would come from the moment she began to live alone in that big house eight years ago.

Going to school was never part of her plan from the beginning; the Fifth Middle School was entirely forced upon her by the Murong family.

Now, she's just come out.

Suddenly, Bai Jinxuan felt that she and Murong Yao were somewhat reversed.

As a child, due to her rebirth, Bai Jinxuan was much more mature than Murong Yao. She disliked moving around and always sat reading, learning the basic logic and general knowledge of this world, just like a sheltered young lady.

At that time, Murong Yao was very energetic and liked to run and jump around.

At this moment, Bai Jinxuan was the one running around everywhere, while Murong Yao became reserved and acted as the 'Holy Maiden' of the second sect, enjoying the love and respect of many disciples and elders.

Thinking of this, Bai Jinxuan smiled.

She pinched Murong Yao's face and their eyes met.

"If I don't go to No. 1 High School, how can I beat you? You're so outstanding, I don't even have money to buy medicine in my efforts to catch up with you."

"Because of this kind of thing..."

Murong Yao didn't understand; she really wanted to go to school with Bai Jinxuan.

We had clearly agreed that I would go to No. 2 Middle School first, and she would follow me shortly.

The two of them were always inseparable.

He trusted her so much.

But in the end, she suddenly changed her mind.

"You...you hate me?"

Tears welled up in Murong Yao's eyes and slid down her cheeks.

She choked up as she asked the question.

That pitiful, abandoned look made Bai Jinxuan's heart ache.

She reached out and pulled Yao Yao into her arms.

"How could I hate you? Don't overthink it. I just prefer peace and quiet. You have too many fans, it's terrifying! During the talent show before, I went to look for you under the stage and got knocked over by one of your fans! Unbelievable!"

As they talked, Bai Jinxuan's temper flared up.

"Yaoyao, you really need to control your brainless fans, they're like lunatics! Do you know how painful it is to be elbowed? And those people are supposed to be the young ladies of No. 2 Middle School, they're not ladylike at all, ugh! They hit so hard!"

"If they hadn't outnumbered me, I would have beaten them to a pulp. Damn it, no one has ever dared to elbow me like that before!"

Hearing Bai Jinxuan angrily berate her fans, Murong Yao wiped away her tears and laughed.

"If I manage to keep them in line, will you be able to come to No. 2 Middle School?"

"I've already signed a contract with No. 1 Middle School. Besides, the teachers there have been very kind to me. To be honest, if I come to No. 2 Middle School, wouldn't I be stealing your thunder? That wouldn't be good. Besides, I can still hang out with you occasionally at No. 1 Middle School."

After Bai Jinxuan's barrage of words, Murong Yao was completely subdued, no longer crying or making a fuss, and Yao turned into a well-behaved child.

"Then you have to come visit me often. You can't lie to me. If you lie to me, you're a little dog."

"Mmm, I'd be a dog if I lied to you."

"By the way, does the competition still count?"

Murong Yao stared into Bai Jinxuan's eyes and said, "We are both ranked first, but I am one point higher than you. Does that count as me winning? And then you have to do something for me?"

"You think you're so great? You didn't beat me. My total score, including magic, is even higher than yours. Ranking is ranking. We'll talk after you beat me." Bai Jinxuan was very unconvinced.

"Oh...then let's take the joint entrance exam next time."

Bai Jinxuan was stunned for a moment.

"You really want me to do things for you that much?"

Upon hearing her words, Murong Yao looked somewhat flustered: "No...no, I just wanted to beat you, really."

"Then you're doomed to lose." Bai Jinxuan sized up Murong Yao while revealing a wicked smile: "The competition at No. 1 Middle School is fierce. In the long run, their progress will only accelerate. In comparison, No. 2 Middle School's resources are far inferior."

"I...I won't lose!"

The black-haired girl had a determined look in her eyes, high spirits, and an aura that was in no way inferior to that of the silver-haired girl in front of her.

In the small reception room, they represented No. 2 Middle School and No. 1 Middle School respectively, and then made another bet.

"I must win!" x2

Volume 1: Chapter 83: A Smart and Sensible Girl

After saying goodbye to Murong Yao, Bai Jinxuan went to the lower city and brought Yao's parents to her house.

"Oh, that's a house that No. 1 High School gave me, it didn't cost me a penny!"

The two middle-aged men were somewhat skeptical of Bai Jinxuan's explanation.

"The school is giving you such a nice house? You must be joking..."

What appeared before them was a magnificent villa, complete with a garden in front—it was incredibly beautiful.

If Bai Jinxuan hadn't gone up and opened the door, Yao's parents would have thought that Xiaoxuan had gone into the wrong house and wandered into a rich man's home.

This place is kind of scary. If I break something, I'll have to pay a lot of money to fix it.

Seeing the two terrified people, Bai Jinxuan sighed and gave them the magic key to unlock the door.

In the Upper Town, houses are unlocked using magic keys. These magic keys are actually a type of password, which comes in both magical and physical versions.

The "magic version" refers to the source code of the password. As long as the key to the magic version is known, the user can construct a magic circle at any time to unlock the room.

The physical version is usually rented out. For example, the house where Bai Jinxuan lives in No. 1 Middle School has a smart bracelet as its magic key. Every time she needs to unlock the house, she needs the smart bracelet to unlock it. Otherwise, she cannot enter the house and all the functions inside will be unusable.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the way to quickly identify the owner of a house is to see if he has a magical key.

Now, Bai Jinxuan has handed this thing over directly. It can be said that, apart from failing the official appraisal, it's no different from giving up ownership of the house.

It was at this moment that Yao's parents finally became certain that the owner of this luxurious villa was the silver-haired girl in front of them.

------------

They finally agreed to come in.

Looking at the person sitting on the sofa

Faced with the two trembling middle-aged men, Bai Jinxuan was at a loss for words.

This isn't an execution ground, so why be so afraid?

They've already given them the magic key, so why do they still act like outsiders?

She reluctantly brewed the newly bought tea for the two of them, then introduced the furniture and the overall structure of the house. After doing all this, she asked, "Do you understand the general idea?"

"I understand. It's definitely better for us to stay in the lower city area."

"Why? Don't you want to see Yao Yao? It's close to No. 2 Middle School here, and the standard of living is better."

They looked at each other, then replied seriously, "But this is Xiaoxuan's house. How can we move in so easily?"

Bai Jinxuan spread her hands: "I live at No. 1 Middle School. Are you suggesting I just leave this house empty? You provide me with free food and drink, I'm just staying here temporarily, it's no big deal..."

Seeing that the two were still reluctant, Bai Jinxuan gritted her teeth and began to unleash her ultimate move.

"Yaoyao did very well in No. 2 Middle School, and I also got into No. 1 Middle School. According to our development, we will definitely move to Shangcheng District in the future. At that time, will Uncle and Aunt still have to stay in Xiacheng District?"

Upon hearing this, Yao's parents fell silent.

They had witnessed their daughter's abilities firsthand, and Bai Jinxuan was even more remarkable. She already owned a large villa in the Upper City District, and would most likely continue to find work and live there in the future.
