Chapter 49: Chapter 26 True Strength

As she spoke, Ye Bingtong waited for that bootlicker to react with a surprised and flattered look.

However, the classmate merely looked at her with obvious disgust and said, “Ye, don’t you understand first come, first served? There are still seats in the last row, aren’t there? Just go sit back there!”

Ye Bingtong’s face changed color.

The bootlickers who used to kowtow to her were now daring to talk to her like this?

As always, she put on a pitiful face, and then looked at the other classmates, hoping they would offer her a seat.

But everyone avoided her gaze, and no one paid any attention to her.

Even the most senior of her little followers, who were always at her beck and call, avoided her gaze immediately, acting as if they hardly knew her.

Ye Bingtong turned her gaze to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao also arrived late, but she was sitting in a prime first-row seat, chatting and laughing with the classmates next to her.

That seat must have been saved specially for her!

All of this was supposed to be the treatment she, Ye Bingtong, received, but now it had become Ye Xiao’s.

Was this fair?

Could it be that not having the Ye family’s blood makes such a big difference?

Ye Bingtong refused to accept it!

Feeling a lump in her throat, she directly addressed Ye Xiao, “Xiaoxiao, you didn’t get here much earlier than I did, how come you have a seat in the first row? Did you forcibly swap with someone? That’s not very nice, you know.”

Ye Xiao had been having a lively conversation with the person next to her.

At those words, she rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, “Bingtong, I am not like you. I’m popular, so this spot was reserved for me early on. When you used to claim to be the campus goddess, didn’t you enjoy that privilege too? Don’t worry, from now on, I’ll take over as the goddess for you. You just go sit in the back in peace.”

Ye Xiao didn’t give Ye Bingtong any face.

Ye Bingtong wanted to criticize the act of saving seats, but couldn’t find the words to do so.

Because…

This was precisely the kind of treatment she used to receive.

If she criticized Ye Xiao now, what about her past self?

Wouldn’t she have been enjoying those privileges even more so?

Ye Bingtong pressed her lips together and silently walked to the last row to take a seat.

She fought back the tears that threatened to spill.

Ye Xiao was the Ye family’s darling.

But her!

She was too!

Was it just because of the difference in blood?

She would prove that blood and merit have nothing to do with each other; she, Ye Bingtong, would thoroughly outshine Ye Xiao in every way.

As for what Ye Xiao said last night, claiming that she was deliberately hiding her abilities, Ye Bingtong thought about it and still believed it was nonsense!

If you have the ability, why hold back?

Is that the kind of person Ye Xiao is?

Her current arrogant and bossy demeanor said it all; it’s simply not in her nature.

Ye Bingtong guessed that Ye Xiao said those things last night just to slander her.

What a pity.

The truth of one’s abilities is easily seen. These little tricks can only work for so long.

Everyone will soon find out what Ye Xiao is truly like.

And then,

Her parents, as well as her older brother, will naturally realize that Ye Xiao is nothing but a cunning liar full of tall tales!

Thinking of this, Ye Bingtong’s heart finally steadied a bit.

There was still a little time before class.

Xiaoxiao browsed the school forum with a cheerful grin.

In the forum,

The video of Ye Bingtong and Pei Yue had been artificially pinned to the top.

The person who titled the post was quite creative.

“Pei Yue and Ye Bingtong’s serpentine moves, performing a tango amidst the hail”

Ye Xiao clicked on the video to watch it.

She couldn’t help but laugh.

The footage of the hailstones chasing the two people was just too comical.

The comments below were mostly laughter, and Ye Xiao joined in the amusement for a while before suddenly realizing something odd.

She couldn’t help but ask the system in her mind, “System, this hailstorm in September should be quite strange, shouldn’t it? But it seems like no one is really concerned about this weather phenomenon?”

If this were in a normal world, meteorologists would probably have to investigate.

The system’s mechanical voice responded swiftly.

“For inconsistent plots after modifications, the system will perform a weakening process. It will not let people focus too much on the inconsistencies.”

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but stroke her chin.

Inconsistent plots, directly treated with a weakening process.

Ye Xiao began to think.

If she wrote about ghosts or something, could actual ghosts be conjured up?

The system seemed to sense Ye Xiao’s thoughts and immediately released a patch.

“Host, please note. Within the rules for modifying characters, you cannot introduce creatures that do not exist in this world. You also cannot make humans perform actions beyond human limitations. If the rules are violated, it will not take effect, and you will not get your modification chances refunded.”

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow but accepted it with equanimity.

If she could do as she pleased, she would probably ruin the world sooner or later.

Moreover, this second rule, not allowing humans to exceed human limits, actually had a lot of wiggle room.

For instance, Bingtong was able to lift a wheelchair and Gu Cheng because there are humans who can do such things, so it was possible to achieve this with Bingtong.

And given how vast the world is, the limits of humanity are actually quite broad.

Her operability was still quite strong.

Ye Xiao was just expressing her understanding to the system.

The system suddenly released another patch: “Additionally, the ‘truth’ character you added previously caused a significant change in the plot. Next time, to change a statement to truth-telling, it will cost a quota of ten characters.”

Ye Xiao: “???”

She suddenly became infuriated.

This issue had been ongoing for several days, and the system was patching it up only now.

This had to be targeting her!

Coming up with the modification to tell the “truth” was a testament to her intelligence and wisdom. Why should it suddenly cost ten characters?

Is that fair?

Is that just?

“System, can’t you take a joke!” Ye Xiao roared in her mind.

However, the system opted to play dead, showing no response at all.

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but clench her teeth.

Great, just great. This system is so reliable.

Fine. Just wait.

One patch after another.

Before this damn system comes up with another patch, she’ll definitely think of another clever move!

While Ye Xiao was grinding her teeth,

the classroom, which had been somewhat noisy, suddenly fell silent in an instant.

Ye Xiao was taken aback for a moment and followed the gaze of everyone else to the door.

Standing at the door was the legendary Professor Yan.

Professor Yan was a woman in her fifties with curly short hair, gold-rimmed glasses, and a stern expression, exuding a strong aura of authority.

This was Ye Xiao’s first time attending Professor Yan’s class since she arrived in this body. An acting class should be nothing to fear in theory, but upon seeing Professor Yan, she still instinctively felt a hint of dread.

Is this the natural authority a teacher holds over their students?

Professor Yan walked up to the podium without any expression. She glanced around and, without any preamble, began the day’s lesson.

After briefly explaining the main content of the class, Professor Yan said, “Acting is something best practiced. I have a few scenes and need a few people to act them out. Any volunteers?”

Professor Yan’s demands for acting were very strict, and most who went up on stage ended up being scolded mercilessly, so everyone hesitated to speak up.

Bingtong’s eyes twinkled, but she suddenly spoke up, “Professor, Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao would definitely be able to do it. Ye Xiao said that she had been hiding her true abilities. Now, she doesn’t plan to hide them anymore. Her real talent will surely surprise everyone.”
