Chapter 420: Competition

Gu Jin didn't bother to look at him. Instead, she flipped open a book on guide on Lightning Mountain as if he were nothing more than a passing breeze.

"Your sincerity is irrelevant to me," she replied coolly.

"My time is valuable. If you truly admired me, you wouldn't waste it."

That single sentence cut deeper than any blade.

Laughter erupted in one corner of the classroom.

Some students tried to stifle their amusement, while others openly enjoyed the young man's humiliation.

His face turned red with anger and shame.

He opened his mouth to argue further, but a single glance from Gu Jin—calm, indifferent, and completely unimpressed—made him swallow his words.

He clenched his fists, muttered something under his breath, and stormed out of the classroom.

Gu Jin paid no mind to the spectacle she had just caused.

She simply continued reading, her mind already moving ahead to her plans.

Lightning Mountain.
