Chapter 1920: Chapter 1,916: Congratulations, Wang Ling, you’re not the mascot this time! (1/92)
Translator: 549690339
That night, Wang Ling actually had a faint premonition that the “Eyelid alert”that he hadn’t activated for a long time when he went home had started again, and it was the same frequency as the ghost and beast version… This proved that there was going to be a lot of trouble.
Wang Ling subconsciously thought that this was the “Butterfly effect”caused by his mishandling of the scoring.
!!
So when he got home, he put down his bag and started to glare at Wang Ying, who was still leaning against the wall with his arms crossed as if nothing had happened.
His whole body was numb from Wang Ling’s glare, in the end, he had no choice but to spread his hands. “That Ling… I think that even if I’m to blame for this, you can’t completely blame me. I just gave you an immature suggestion, but who knew that you would take it?”
Wang Ling was momentarily speechless at these words.
But given his character, he was very easily “Duped”to begin with!
Wang Ling sighed in his heart. After careful thought, he felt that Wang Ying really couldn’t be blamed for this; he could only be blamed for being too innocent and obedient.
Of course, Wang Ling didn’t dare tell father and mother Wang about this when he came back; he was afraid that Father Wang would use an excuse to deduct his pocket money again.
But Wang Ling knew that he couldn’t keep this a secret; father and mother Wang would find out about this sooner or later.
But what Wang Ling didn’t expect was that Father and mother Wang would find out about this much faster than he had imagined
Seeing Wang Ling enter the room with a gloomy expression, the couple took off their shoes and went straight to the room without saying a word. From the low pressure, they could sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Although Wang Ling was usually expressionless, after living for more than ten years, father and mother Wang were very familiar with their son’s temper and how he could analyze the situation through his micro-expressions, it wasn’t an exaggeration to call him an expert.
A normal parent would definitely think that their child was upset and blame himself for not doing well in the monthly exam.
But father Wang and mother Wang were different.
“Did you do too well in this exam?”Mother Wang asked.
“I think so.”Father Wang put down the newspaper and sighed, a sad expression appeared on his face. “Sigh, I’ve already told him a few times. You have to suppress your score. Don’t do so well. If you do too well, you’ll attract attention! “How many competitions have you participated in before? “Every time, Little Zhuozi and Ah Ming have to clean up after him.”
Hearing this.., but mother Wang shook her head. “I think he’s very clear on this matter. In the past few competitions, Ling Ling wasn’t the one who wanted to go. He had to listen to all kinds of factors, plus teacher Pan’s forceful demands.”
“Besides, apart from the time Ling Ling entered the school, which time didn’t he reduce his points? Shouldn’t we just send him? I suspect…”
Father Wang was startled and suddenly realized. “You’re saying that Ling Ling has already been exposed?”
“It shouldn’t be that serious.”
Mother Wang shook her head. “I guess the teachers at No. 60 High School are trying to test him. And as far as I know, because Ling Ling has always suppressed his grades, the teachers are already suspicious. “So I think that occasionally doing a little better is a way to dispel the teachers’worries.”
After hearing this analysis, father Wang actually felt that mother Wang’s words made a lot of sense.
But the old Wang family’s rules had been set a long time ago, and couldn’t be easily changed.
If you did well in the exam, your allowance would be deducted.
If you were first in the grade or something, you would be directly fined an entire year’s allowance.
Mother Wang still felt very sorry for Wang Ling, and as she did what she was doing, she couldn’t help saying, “The child is quite pitiful; don’t be too competitive this time.”
“Mm, but I know what I should do. I just want to forget it this time,”father Wang said with a sigh. How could he not know that Wang Ling wasn’t easy to deal with, so this time, he decided to punish him a little less.
The punishment was one yuan, which was just a symbolic gesture.
So even though Wang Ling hadn’t said anything, father and mother Wang had already guessed eighty to ninety percent of what had happened based on their understanding of Wang Ling.
Parents were always children’s worms, and Wang Ling felt that this wasn’t at all false. Sometimes, he even wondered if father and mother Wang could also be “Telepathic.”.
How could they know so many things about him so easily?
Of course, for Wang Ling, his “Nightmare”today was far more than that.
Because that very night, teacher Pan had called him directly.
A call came to the Wang family’s small villa.
He immediately gave Wang Ling a round of praise.
Teacher pan: “Amazing! Amazing! Mr. Wang! Although your son’s grades in all subjects have only improved by a little this time, he’s directly at the top of the ranking list!”
Father Wang: “Teacher, why is there a ranking list for him to climb up…”
Teacher pan: “Our No. 60 High School has always advocated diversity. We set up various lists so that every child has a chance to go up and see themselves correctly from a multi-dimensional perspective, so that they can see their strengths and weaknesses.”. “To be honest, I always felt that this kid Wang Ling deliberately didn’t do well in the exams.”
Father Wang: “Then this time…”
On the other end of the line, teacher Pan was grinning from ear to ear. “But this time, he’s facing such a difficult exam. Not only did Wang Ling stabilize his usual level, but his grades in all subjects also improved by a few points online. With his usual steady performance and above-average performance, student Wang Ling’s overall ranking has shot up in one fell swoop!”
Father Wang was already wiping off his sweat on the phone. “Teacher Pan, you probably didn’t just call me to say… that Ling Ling did well in his exams this time…”
“It’s like this, Mr. Wang, your child is too outstanding. “Moreover, our school has already won the rankings in the previous competitions he participated in, so I want to recommend Wang Ling to participate in this year’s provincial and city-level high school cultivation rankings.”
Father Wang took a deep breath.
As expected, what should have come had come..
..
In an old alley deep inside vermilion bird gate in Songhai City, there was a teahouse that had been open for a long time, and a young man in a black windbreaker was walking through it.
Vermilion Bird Gate had been built in the year 2000 by cultivation Li, and had a history of more than two thousand years. During the imperial system, it had been the main corridor for the emperor’s daily delivery of imperial supplies, now, after the renovation, it had become a tourist attraction in Songhai city. Other than a few more shops, it still retained its original appearance.
Those city walls, arrow towers, moats… it was as if one could travel back two thousand years in an instant.
There were also many students gathered here. Because the coordinates of Vermilion Bird Gate happened to be at the center of several key cultivation high schools in Songhai city, this was also the place where the students often gathered.
It was past six o’clock in the evening. A man in a black windbreaker walked along the ancient alley. He looked a little out of place among the students who were walking back and forth in their school uniforms.
He walked to the teahouse where he had arranged for someone to meet him in advance. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the wooden door.
This was an old teahouse. The words “Nine heavens”were written on the plaque in front of the door.
“Who is it?”
The light in the teahouse that had its door closed suddenly turned on. Immediately after, a rough voice came from inside.
“I am Jing Heqiu. I am here to discuss the matter of the new students ranking in the provincial and city-level high school cultivation colleges.”The Man took off his hat in front of the door and respectfully introduced himself.
