“Clear his name? Does he need to clear his name? Would Professor Huang care about such nonsense rumors?”

Pei Yunge snorted.

It made Hai Ning almost speechless. “You…”

Huang Zuyi’s reclusive character had actually been discussed a lot. Of course, Huang Zuyi had never taken it seriously.

This was inexplicably similar to Pei Yunge.

“Hai Ning, if you want Pei Yunge to participate, just say it. Why are you spending so much effort?” Xu Xianing laughed coldly and exposed her ruthlessly.

Hai Ning pursed her lips and glanced at Pei Yunge, her tone filled with ridicule. “Isn’t it because Pei Yunge doesn’t dare to participate?”

“Every class needs five students to participate. As a member of the laboratory, Pei Yunge is afraid of losing. If this gets out, I wonder how funny it will be.”

“Hai Ning, you’re the one who’s afraid of Pei Yunge.” Xu Xianing stabbed her in the heart directly.

“Nonsense! Why should I be afraid of her?!”

Hai Ning’s voice suddenly became sharp.

Suddenly.

“Okay, I’ll participate.” With that said, Hai Ning turned around and met Pei Yunge’s eyes.

Pei Yunge’s half-smiling eyes had an inexplicable sense of insight. However, in the next second, she snorted softly and turned to leave.

Hai Ning’s body froze and her face gradually burned because of Pei Yunge’s gaze just now.

From Pei Yunge’s gaze just now, it was as if she already knew her entire goal and was mocking her for overestimating herself…

A dark look flashed past Hai Ning’s eyes as she gritted her teeth unconsciously.

How dare Pei Yunge look down on her?

…

Time passed quickly and the six people who were chosen started to prepare for the debate.

Department Head Xu, who had organized this event, glanced around and laughed coldly. “Pei Yunge didn’t participate in this debate practice again?”

Hai Ning did not even look up from her revision materials. “No, isn’t she never here?”

Department Head Xu was already unhappy with Pei Yunge because she was unwilling to join the department. Now, he was even more furious!

“I think she’s really arrogant!”

With that said, Department Head Xu said simply, “Haining, you’ll lead the defense tomorrow!”

Hai Ning’s eyes were filled with relief. “Really?!”

“Why would I lie to you about that? Besides you, is there anyone more suitable?”

With that said, a strange glint flashed in Department Head Xu’s eyes as the pen in his hand curled up casually. “Let Pei Yunge be the substitute.”

These words stunned everyone!

Let Pei Yunge be the substitute?!

Let Pei Yunge be the substitute?!

After all, Pei Yunge had been in the limelight once because she was the top scorer of the college entrance examination.

At the same time…

Hai Ning’s lips curled up uncontrollably.

…

The next day.

The debate competition officially started. When the participating students saw the situation on stage, they could not help but start to feel nervous.

Especially the big shots in the professors’ seats, almost everyone panicked when they heard the contestants’ questions.

“Isn’t this too tragic? Is the professor asking a question that a person should ask?” Xu Xianing’s scalp turned numb.

“Stop talking. We’re still considered alright. Old Qi, who is in the stands, can’t answer. His professor is sitting in the professor’s seat and defending him. Besides, even if he embarrasses himself, he will only embarrass himself in the department.”

“The graduate team next door is the worst. Their opponent is a graduate student from Nili University. Do you know that two people from Nili University are Y.G.’s students?!”
