Weekends were dull and monotonous for Jiang Che.
“Jiang Che! Jiang Che! Wake up! The results are out!”
Ye Mengyao tugged at Jiang Che’s arm excitedly, forcing him awake.
“You little brat, asking for a beating, aren’t you?”
Jiang Che casually slapped Ye Mengyao.
“Ow~~~”
Ye Mengyao let out a soft whimper, her eyes slightly reddened, as if holding back tears, looking pitiful and delicate.
Jiang Che’s strength was no joke. After all, as a master of Transform Force, even without using internal energy, a slap from him was something a young girl like Ye Mengyao couldn’t handle.
Jiang Che sighed. Although Ye Mengyao had been playing hard to get before, she was now his woman, and he had to spoil her.
Ye Mengyao had been a rich young lady all her life—when had she ever been slapped by anyone?
“Alright, alright, stop crying,” Jiang Che said.
Ye Mengyao bit her thin lips. Though it hurt, her heart felt warm.
Since that birthday party, she could clearly sense the change in Jiang Che’s attitude toward her. The only problem was that he was a bit of a playboy.
Sometimes Ye Mengyao regretted it. If she hadn’t been so aloof before, maybe Jiang Che would belong to her alone. But now... there were more and more girls around him.
“Jiang Che! The results are out! Do you know how many points you scored?”
Once the pain subsided, Ye Mengyao remembered the main issue and quickly pulled out her phone.
Jiang Che merely glanced at her indifferently.
Of course, he knew his own results. This time, he hadn’t held back at all during the joint exam—he had gone all out.
With the help of the *Complete Knowledge and Skills* system, even a pig could have scored incredibly high. It really was as the saying goes... “I could do it too.”
His score was probably no lower than 740!
Mentioning the results, Ye Mengyao got excited again, brushing the messy strands of hair away from her forehead.
Her figure was subtly revealed, and the youthful aura unique to a young girl filled the air.
“Do you know? You scored 745 points! The school group chat is going crazy!”
Ye Mengyao shook Jiang Che’s arm with one hand.
“Except for the Chinese reading comprehension, where you lost 3 points, and the essay, where you lost 2 points, scoring 145, you got full marks in every other subject!”
“Calm down. It’s my score, not yours,” Jiang Che said coolly.
Ye Mengyao bit her lip, thinking about her past self... How ridiculous she had been to reject Jiang Che’s confession back then, using his poor grades as an excuse.
Now, Jiang Che’s grades far surpassed hers, and she had become the clown in this story.
“Jiang Che... back when I rejected you, I called you a slacker. You must’ve thought I was a clown, right?”
Ye Mengyao lowered her head.
Jiang Che smirked. “Indeed, at that time, you were nothing but a clown in my eyes.”
Ye Mengyao: “......”
Well, there goes my dignity!
Meanwhile, Yu Wan’er had also woken up. In truth, she had been awake for a while, but the bed was just too cozy. Of course... there was another reason—she didn’t dare to be the first one to get up.
She understood the principle of “the early bird gets the worm.”
“Hmph, I finally figured it out. You’ve been pretending all along, disguising yourself as a slacker!”
Yu Wan’er was still her usual bratty self.
Neither Ye Mengyao nor Qin Qiaoqiao said much. After all, they had both tutored Jiang Che before and knew he had been holding back. But they never expected... his grades would be this terrifying?
...............................
Jiang Che calmly got out of bed. “Ningshuang, help me get dressed.”
He had grown accustomed to ordering Chen Ningshuang around.
Soon, Chen Ningshuang entered the bedroom.
She had spent the entire night standing guard outside the door. As she walked in, her eyes darted around nervously.
*[You scoundrel! You’ll get your comeuppance someday.]*
At the same time, she spotted the girl she had been looking for.
Dong’er!
Sure enough, she felt an overwhelming aura of power emanating from Dong’er.
Of course, “overwhelming” was only relative to her. Jiang Che, on the other hand, could easily gauge Dong’er’s cultivation level—ahem, her strength!
“A grandmaster?”
For a moment, Chen Ningshuang’s breathing became heavy. This girl had actually reached the level of a grandmaster?
“What? Never seen a grandmaster before? Oh, right... your Chen Village never had one!”
Jiang Che teased.
*[Wait, how could Dong’er suddenly become a grandmaster? This makes no sense! I’ve checked her bone structure before. Although it’s slightly better than mine, there’s no way she could reach grandmaster level at such a young age!]*
Chen Ningshuang even began to doubt herself.
“Hehe... want to know how Dong’er became a grandmaster? I’ll tell you a secret... I helped her!”
Jiang Che flashed a mischievous smile.
Chen Ningshuang narrowed her eyes. “You? A good-for-nothing... I mean, an ordinary person, helping someone become a grandmaster? Who would believe such nonsense?”
Jiang Che simply shrugged, walked over to the bed, and picked up Dong’er with one hand. The little girl was light, probably weighing only around 70 pounds. To Jiang Che, she felt as light as a feather.
“Dong’er, tell her how you became a grandmaster!”
Dong’er was very obedient. She blinked twice, then looked at Chen Ningshuang and spoke seriously.
“Master used a secret technique to enhance my bone structure and internal energy. That’s how I became a grandmaster.”
It was the longest sentence Dong’er had ever spoken.
Chen Ningshuang: “......”
What the hell kind of secret technique is this? Enhancing someone’s bone structure? Although the Chen family of ancient martial arts wasn’t as powerful as the Jiang family, they were still one of the top ancient martial arts families in history.
One of the founding families of Tai Chi, their ancestors had produced top-tier grandmasters, and their family had many ancient texts. It was just that they had declined over time.
Chen Ningshuang had read many of these ancient texts since childhood, but she had never heard of any technique that could enhance a person’s bone structure.
Bone structure was something you were born with. Improving it later in life was nearly impossible unless you stumbled upon some rare, heavenly treasures. Otherwise, forget about it!
*[You think I’m stupid? Enhancing bone structure? You scoundrel, you’re just finding new ways to mess with me!]*
Jiang Che chuckled. Well, you guessed right!
I’m indeed finding new ways to mess with you.
