"Yuwen, you sit by the corridor window and keep an eye on the patrolling teacher. That task is yours."

Pan Yuwen said nothing, just looked at everyone seriously, then clenched his fist and pounded his chest.

Brothers! Trust! Got it!

Based on everyone’s brainstorming, he would listen to the footsteps in the corridor in the afternoon and place an upright mirror on the windowsill to observe the situation. If there was any danger, he would raise his hand to ask for a bathroom break to alert everyone.

Steady!

"Alright!" Lin Li extended his hand, palm facing upwards, and glanced over everyone.

Everyone immediately understood and piled their hands on top of his.

"For our delightful afternoon tea—"

"Go! Go! Go!!"

The enthusiasm was ignited!

With everything assigned, everyone returned to the entrance of Class 20, waiting for the exam to begin.

When Guo Zhun walked into Class 20 with the test papers, everyone exchanged silent glances of encouragement.

"Ring—"

The call to charge sounded, the exam had begun!

The preliminary tasks were left to these people, Lin Li prepared to start answering questions—after all, he still had to take the exam.

Just as Lin Li bowed his head—

Pan Yuwen stood up and raised his hand: "Teacher, I want to go to the bathroom."

Du Hansi, Pan Yuwen, Fang Tianyou, Lin Li: "(;☉_☉)?"

All those who had gathered at the stairwell to plot earlier now cast surprised looks at Pan Yuwen. What was going on?

Isn’t this the signal?

Does he really need the bathroom, or is it a reminder...

If it’s a reminder, but—but—but the exam just started!!

Thud, thud.

Footsteps revealed!

Upon hearing the sound, everyone nervously turned their gaze towards the classroom door.

A teacher appeared at the doorway, holding a chair in his hand.

This teacher, surnamed Xue, exchanged glances with Guo Zhun as a greeting, then picked up the chair and headed to the back of the classroom. His target was precise, placing the chair with a ’bang’ next to Lin Li.

Before sitting down, this teacher lacked any elegance a teacher should have, rudely pushed Lin Li aside, checked Lin Li’s desk drawer to make sure there were no illegal items like self-heating hotpots, then breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and sat down.

After sitting, noticing that most of the people in the exam room were looking at him in surprise, the teacher with the surname Xue calmly spoke:

"What are you looking at me for? Focus on the exam, I am one of your invigilators." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Hearing this, everyone raised their eyebrows and slowly retracted their gazes with mixed feelings.

Only one student surnamed Lin continued to stare directly at the teacher surnamed Xue.

"Lin Li, what are you looking at, get back to your exam." Xue Jian frowned.

Lin Li took a deep breath, slowly turned his head, propped his left hand on the table, pinched his nose, and squeezed his cheek, with a complex expression.

Lived for thirty seconds until emotional collapse~

The lyrics of "▢ Kill That Xiling Person" echoed in his mind.

Swallowing hard, still wanting to know an answer, Lin Li turned back to Xue Jian: "Teacher, how long will you be invigilating here?"

Xue Jian, with a leg crossed and leaning back against the chair, sneered: "Huh, invigilating until the school ends on Friday."

Lin Li’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, and he turned pale: "A-always sitting next to me?"

"Always sitting next to you."

Their conversation wasn’t quiet, and at this moment, there were a few restrained chuckles in the class—some lost control.

Lin Li didn’t understand how they could find it funny.

Is this funny?

Kid, this isn’t funny.

It’s all over.

Totally over.

Lin Li dejectedly turned his head, feeling as if he didn’t even have the strength to hold a pen, heart ashen, as if the world had lost all its color.

Lin Li felt he could never love again.

The task was completely hopeless—

[During the period of the grand competition, obtain recognition from at least 20 servant disciples within the sect (19/20)]

[During the period of the grand competition, obtain recognition from at least 20 servant disciples within the sect (21/20)]

[Task three completed.]

Lin Li: "?"
