The next day, they woke up at 7 am, got ready and went downstairs to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.

The competition would begin at 9 am and the school was nearby, so they left at 8 am.

When they entered the restaurant, many people were already having breakfast.

As soon as Leng Xiaoyao and Zhou Jing walked in, they attracted a lot of attention, especially towards Leng Xiaoyao, including Zhang Yawen and the student she brought.

Several jealous looks were directed towards them, mostly from the girls.

Because there were many people, they couldn't find a table with no one sitting at it, so they just sat wherever there was some space available.

"Hello, I'm Fu Yiming from the No.3 High School of the capital city. Where are you from? What's your name?"

A male student sitting next to them asked Leng Xiaoyao.

"Hi, I'm Leng Xiaoyao from the Experimental High School of City Chang." Leng Xiaoyao politely responded.

City Chang was a second-tier city and was not a small place. Moreover, the Experimental High School was the best high school in City Chang. Most importantly, if Leng Xiaoyao could win the championship to participate in the national competition, then she must be extraordinary. Therefore, Fu Yiming didn't look down on her.

If it were someone else, it might not be the case. After all, some of the locals in the capital city looked down on outsiders, even if they were from first-tier cities outside of the capital city. They just felt that nowhere was better than the capital city.

City Hai was excluded.

After Fu Yiming and Leng Xiaoyao exchanged greetings, his accompanying teacher naturally greeted Zhou Jing. "Nice to meet you, I'm Cheng Yusen from the No.3 High School of the capital city."

"Nice to meet you too, I'm Zhou Jing from the Experimental High School of City Chang." Zhou Jing politely responded.

"I heard there are over a hundred people participating in the competition! Are you nervous?" Fu Yiming asked Leng Xiaoyao.

"Not at all." Leng Xiaoyao replied.

"I'm a little nervous," Fu Yiming said.

The students who came to participate in the competition had some animosity towards their opponents. However, Fu Yiming had no hostility towards Leng Xiaoyao and wasn't that obsessed with winning the championship. He just wanted to do his best.

Fu Yiming was nervous because he didn't put himself in a high position and believed that everyone needed to treat it wholeheartedly.

On the other hand, Leng Xiaoyao wasn't nervous because she didn't have a strong obsession with winning the championship. She wanted to win, but she didn't feel like the championship was hers. After all, everything depended on one's strength.

If someone was better than her, she would respect them and would not be jealous or resentful.

Afterwards, someone came to talk to Leng Xiaoyao. She would be polite if they had no ill intentions. However, if someone used verbal attacks, she wouldn't be polite either.

For example, when Fan Xiaoyu, Zhang Yawen's student, saw many boys talking to Leng Xiaoyao, she sarcastically said, "Humph! She's indeed a vixen. Is she here for the competition or to seduce men?"

Zhang Yawen didn't stop her because it was also her thought. However, as a teacher, she couldn't say it out loud.

Fan Xiaoyu was very beautiful. Although she wasn't the prettiest girl in their school, she was only less famous than the prettiest girl. Therefore, Fan Xiaoyu attracted many boys' attention. Now that Leng Xiaoyao had taken away this spotlight, Fan Xiaoyu naturally felt uncomfortable and tried to humiliate Leng Xiaoyao.

Leng Xiaoyao heard what Fan Xiaoyu said, but since she didn't mention any names, she wouldn't make a connection.

However, someone argued with Fan Xiaoyu at this moment. "Hey! When you were being pursued by boys, why didn't you call yourself a vixen? Instead, you enjoyed their pursuit like a queen of a harem with her male pets."

"Mu Beihan, you…" Fan Xiaoyu stood up angrily and glared at Mu Beihan, but she didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong with you? Isn't it the truth?" Mu Beihan rolled her eyes without any shame, showing obvious contempt and sarcasm.

"Mu Beihan, shut up!" Fan Xiaoyu shouted in anger, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.

Fan Xiaoyu clenched her fists angrily. She wanted to hit Mu Beihan, but she didn't dare because Mu Beihan's family was very influential. Her family couldn't afford to mess with Mu Beihan's.

Mu Beihan mocked her every time they met. She had only set Mu Beihan up once, but she had already transferred to another school. Why couldn't Mu Beihan let her go?

"Tsk, tsk! You got angry out of shame. If you don't want others to judge you, don't judge others. Ms. Zhang, you brought her here. Why don't you stop her? Isn't this bringing shame to the school?" Mu Beihan said. She wouldn't be polite to Zhang Yawen just because she was a teacher. After all, Zhang Yawen wasn't a good person either.

Mu Beihan had heard Zhang Yawen's conversation with Gao Lei yesterday. Zhang Yawen was so hypocritical!

Upon being called out by Mu Beihan, Zhang Yawen was displeased, especially since everyone looked at her with questioning eyes. She felt extremely embarrassed.

Zhang Yawen quickly responded. "I didn't have a chance to say anything yet. You spoke before me."

Other people agreed.

However, Mu Beihan didn't stop. "I opened my mouth 5 seconds after Fan Xiaoyu finished speaking. Isn't 5 seconds enough time for Ms. Zhang to react? You really react slowly!"

"You…" Zhang Yawen was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe, but she didn't know how to refute.

She indeed hadn't stopped Fan Xiaoyu.

Upon hearing that, everyone looked at Zhang Yawen with questioning eyes again.

Leng Xiaoyao felt that Mu Beihan was somewhat cute, and Mu Beihan's way of arguing with people really suited her taste.

Leng Xiaoyao knew that Mu Beihan wasn't defending her. After all, they didn't know each other, and she could tell that Mu Beihan clearly did not get along with Fan Xiaoyu.

"Mr. Chen, shouldn't you tell your student to behave?" Zhang Yawen looked at Mu Beihan's team teacher and questioned.

If Mu Beihan continued, she would be extremely embarrassed.

Upon hearing that, Mr. Chen gave a perfunctory response. "Alright, Beihan, it's getting late. Let's hurry up and have breakfast!"

"Sure." Mu Beihan stopped.

Zhang Yawen and Fan Xiaoyu were angry, but what could they do? They were wrong in the first place.

Although the hotel was only about eight hundred meters away from the school, they took the bus arranged by the Education Bureau to avoid being late.

There were a total of 126 finalists and 126 teachers, so five buses were used.

After arriving at the Capital University, everyone's emotions were stirred up to varying degrees because the Capital University was the dream college of most of them.

They were basically all top students, so they were confident about getting admitted.

This was the highest institution of learning in the Seven Star Country and a place that countless students longed for. If it hadn't been for the upcoming competition, they would have taken a tour around the campus!
