Ye Xiaohui was focused on the competition throughout.
From the very beginning to the present, it felt like watching an exciting drama unfold.
She glanced at Tang Shu again and saw that the person involved emanated one word:
Cheng Ranran didn’t catch the exchange of looks between the two, and after listening for a while, her thoughts were still somewhat confused.
"Wait, you just said she’s not on the ranking list, so what are these people challenging for? Even if they win, their own ranking won’t move up, right?"
"It won’t, but... she is the judge of the calligraphy and painting competition."
In previous years, the judges of the calligraphy and painting competition had always been masters featured on the front pages of various leaderboards, who were deeply respected by the competitors, so naturally there were no objections.
But this time it was different. The appearance of Give and Take meant breaking the unwritten rules, naturally causing dissatisfaction among many. Not only were the masters, whose rankings were too low to be selected as judges, disgruntled, but the competitors were as well.
She, Give and Take, hadn’t won a single award, had no ranking whatsoever – on what basis?!
Although Ye Xiaohui didn’t finish her words, both understood what she was trying to convey.
Challenging a judge, after all, was a very badass move.
"So, the reason these people are challenging her is to show her who’s boss, or to put her in her place. Even if they don’t move up the rankings by winning the challenge, it’s still an honor in itself, and everybody’s watching."
"In a way, this is even more thrilling than challenging the existing names on the leaderboard!"
If the challenge was successful, it would be instant fame, and they would have avenged all the competitors who felt wronged.
They would gain both fame and respect!
"Emma, no wonder you’ve been keeping an eye on this. I’m just an outsider, and even I can smell the juicy scoop!"
Cheng Ranran suddenly got excited. The recent despondency from the finale of "You Smile" vanished instantly, and she felt a new drive.
"How could I miss out on such a big event? I must keep following it, I absolutely must!"
Never doubt the accurate judgement of a professional melon-eater!
Cheng Ranran came back to life, and while eating melons, she didn’t forget to stir her best friend and childhood friend:
"Xiaohui, haven’t you always been on the leaderboards for traditional painting and calligraphy? Even though it’s beyond the top fifty, it’s a lot better compared to your peers, and not many can beat you. Why not consider a Challenge Beyond One’s Level?"
Just thinking about a Challenge Beyond One’s Level is exciting!
This challenge, too, is another kind of Challenge Beyond One’s Level!
Go for it, go for it, I Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters..."
Ran Bao, do you know what you’re doing?
You’re teetering on the edge of courting disaster, and that’s exactly what you’re doing.
Tang Shu took a deep breath, resisting the urge to pummel her with fists, and opened her textbook.
Ye Xiaohui cut Cheng Ranran off directly as she was about to speak again.
"Don’t you think the name of this judge sounds very familiar?"
"Familiar? Isn’t it just called Give and Take... huh? It does sound like something I’ve heard before, indeed quite familiar."
Cheng Ranran blinked her round eyes, looking up as she tried hard to think.
Ye Xiaohui, helpless, touched her forehead; she really couldn’t expect this internet addict to understand matters outside of the entertainment industry.
Such a waste of a smart head.
As the bell signaling the start of class rang, the teacher stepped into the classroom, and everyone stopped talking. They sat up straight and listened quietly to the lesson.
