Chapter 71: Chapter 71 A Wave of Contempt

"Hey! Did you hear? That nationally-renowned Expert Shao is about to give a lecture at our medical school!"

"Really? I have to rush over. Who knows? Maybe I can make myself known and leave a good impression on Expert Shao!"

"I think you’d better prepare properly. There’ll be plenty of media present this time. If I can answer one or two of Expert Shao’s questions, I’ll make a name for myself!"

The library.

The previously quiet atmosphere suddenly grew lively upon hearing news of Shao Bing’s upcoming lecture.

Many students from the medical school immediately put down their books and gathered in small groups to discuss the upcoming lecture.

Just then, a male student sneered and said, "You lot think you can answer Expert Shao’s questions? What place do you think Xiao Ge holds?"

Xiao Ge?

The group immediately turned their gazes to the corner of the room, where a poised and scholarly young man had been calmly reading the entire time.

No one dared to refute.

Because Xiao Ge was the most renowned figure in the medical school—a true standout and the president of the student council.

Not only was his family background impressive, but he was also a top-tier academic. When Xiao Ge had been admitted to Yuntai University, he had entered the medical school as the top scorer of his class from the national college entrance examination.

To everyone, Xiao Ge seemed destined for greatness.

Who would dare offend someone like him?

Seeing everyone’s attention focused on him, Xiao Ge’s eyes gleamed briefly with pride, although he maintained a humble smile and said, "Wang Cai, you shouldn’t say things like that. After all, there’s no hierarchy in learning, and anyone who excels can be a teacher. My classmates are all future pillars of the medical world. No matter how good I am alone, I couldn’t possibly surpass the collective brilliance of everyone here!"

"Xiao Ge, no need to be modest!"

Wang Cai, the student who had spoken earlier, quickly replied with a laugh, "How could they compare to you? Look at them—getting all excited before Expert Shao’s lecture even begins. But you, Xiao Ge, even at times like this, are as steady as Taishan..."

As Wang Cai spoke, his expression suddenly shifted awkwardly, and he glanced toward a corner of the library.

In that corner sat another person, appearing even calmer than Xiao Ge. He had been engrossed in a book the entire time and hadn’t even looked up once.

This person, Wang Cai also knew—Ye Fei, the student who was said to have been given three weeks to master the medical school’s three-year curriculum before being officially transferred to the program.

Seeing Wang Cai’s silence, Xiao Ge and the others followed his gaze toward Ye Fei.

Wang Cai quickly said, "That guy doesn’t count! How could someone like him compare to Xiao Ge, right?"

"Haha, that’s not entirely fair,"

Xiao Ge smirked sarcastically as he glanced at Ye Fei and said, "Who knows? Maybe Ye Fei will really manage to learn our medical school’s three-year curriculum in just three weeks!"

"And then what? He’ll still be the bottom of the class here, likely struggling to even find a job!"

"Exactly. I heard this guy was always at the bottom of his original finance program and frequently skipped class!"

"Not just bottom—I know him. Back when we took the college entrance exam, he ranked third or fourth from last in our cohort. That’s how he got into Yuntai University—a complete waste!"

The other students quickly picked up on Xiao Ge’s mocking tone and chimed in one after another.

Seeing this, the arrogance on Xiao Ge’s face grew even more prominent.

It was as if, while others were eagerly discussing Shao Bing’s lecture, he stood out by being calm and focused on his book, setting himself apart.

Xiao Ge had always prided himself on being extraordinary.

But someone like Ye Fei, behaving as unbothered as Xiao Ge did, refusing to engage in the discussion, was naturally unacceptable.

In Xiao Ge’s eyes, someone as "hopeless" as Ye Fei acting similar to him was inherently offensive.

Still, Xiao Ge wouldn’t be so blunt in front of others.

So when everyone echoed his mockery of Ye Fei’s ineptitude, Xiao Ge instead said with a smile, "Alright, no matter how poor his grades are, Ye Fei is still one of us at Yuntai University. Let’s focus our thoughts more on the upcoming lecture!"

"Heh, I get it now. Xiao Ge is saying we shouldn’t waste our time thinking about a waste like Ye Fei!" Wang Cai immediately picked up the thread and added.

Hearing this, Xiao Ge simply nodded indifferently and continued reading.

The others watched and resumed their discussion.

Just then, Ye Fei, who had been holding his book quietly, suddenly set it down and smiled as he said, "I’ve got it! Finally figured it out. Looks like it’s time to step outside for some fresh air—after so many days, I really need a break!"

Saying this, Ye Fei slowly stood up, carefully returned his book to the shelf, and prepared to leave the library.

"Hey! Ye Fei, what did you mean by ’got it’? Are you saying you’ve managed to master our medical school’s three-year curriculum already?"

As Ye Fei walked past Xiao Ge and the others in the center of the library, Wang Cai suddenly blocked his path with a mischievous grin and asked.

"More or less,"

Ye Fei, in a good mood, replied directly.

He was fully aware of Wang Cai’s hostility but didn’t care. His mind was consumed with thoughts of the new training methodology for Soul-controlling Technique, leaving no room for petty provocations.

But sometimes, the less you care, the more others believe you’re easy to target.

So, Wang Cai exaggeratedly threw on an astonished expression and said, "Oh my gosh! Ye Fei claims he’s mastered in just a few days what we’ve been learning for three years? Let’s count—one, two, three, four... He’s spent a total of six days on it. Did I just encounter a genius?"

A genius?

Everyone burst into mocking laughter upon hearing Wang Cai’s words.

A genius who scored so poorly on the college entrance exam that he barely scraped into Yuntai University, ranking third or fourth last?

A genius who spent three years in university as an invisible nobody, even failing subjects repeatedly?

To them, Ye Fei hadn’t mastered the three-year curriculum—he simply couldn’t cope and was preparing to give up.

It was purely for show that he claimed otherwise to Wang Cai.

Even Xiao Ge was inwardly full of contempt for Ye Fei.

On the surface, however, as the president of the student council, Xiao Ge pretended to speak in a righteous tone, reprimanding, "Wang Cai, how could you say that? Even if Ye Fei hasn’t made much progress these past few days, as classmates, we should focus on encouragement!"

With that, Xiao Ge slowly walked toward Ye Fei and smiled, "And you, Ye Fei—lying isn’t right. Even if you haven’t understood a single word these past few days, no one would laugh at you."

Much progress?

Not a single word understood?

Everyone erupted into laughter after hearing this.

It was painfully obvious that Xiao Ge’s ostensibly righteous remarks were ribbing Ye Fei for lying earlier.

But just then, Ye Fei coolly uttered, "Get lost!"
