Listening to her well-intentioned advice, Gu Li felt like she was about to explode.

“You keep saying that you’re doing this for my own good. Well then, I must ask you, do you know that Imperial City University has a golden rule. No student can be admitted if they do not participate in the entrance exam, regardless of their background and how excellent they are.”

“What?”

Yi Bing, who hadn’t expected the University to have such a rule, turned pale, then quickly flushed red; she looked terrible.

Gu Li continued, “In other words, if I miss the entrance exam tomorrow because of your sedatives, even if I have an impressive resume, even if Mo Shiting is incredibly influential, Imperial City University still won’t violate their rule to admit me. Now tell me, are you still saying this is for my benefit?” nj ii

Yi Bing lowered her head, her mind a bit fuzzy from Gu Li’s argument.

Could it be that she was wrong?

But she didn’t know about Imperial City University’s admission rule?

She had always thought there was nothing in this world that Young Master Mo couldn’t do…

But then again, even if Gu Li took the test, she would definitely fail, wouldn’t she? Wouldn’t she still end up being laughed at?

How could someone incapable get into such a prestigious university like Imperial City University?

Isn’t every university tough to get into?

In Capital City, there are plenty of elite universities. Why not pick one and apply there?

Yi Bing still couldn’t accept Gu Li’s selfishness.

Seeing Yi Bing’s obstinate mindset, Gu Li didn’t expect to change her perspective instantly. However, their conversation had sparked an idea in Gu Li’s mind; she wanted to win Yi Bing over.

Now that’s a challenge.

Moreover, if she could get Yi Bing on her side, she would definitely find out who was plotting against her.

With that in mind, Gu Li said casually, “Tomorrow, I will take the exam on time. As for the result, would you like to make a bet with me?”

“Bet on what?”

Yi Bing’s curiosity was piqued.

Gu Li said, “After the university releases the results, if I get admitted to Imperial City University on my own merit, you must leave Hawk and sincerely dedicate yourself to me, Gu Li. However, if I don’t get admitted, I will allow you to return fully to Hawk, and I will keep tonight’s incident a secret, with no punishment for you.”

“Okay, I agree.”

This bet seemed to bear no loss for her, so Yi Bing agreed without hesitation.

But she didn’t know that she had already fallen into a trap set by Gu Li.

“It’s late, go to sleep.”

Gu Li yawned, dismissing Yi Bing.

Yi Bing gave her one final, complicated look before bowing and leaving.

After she had left, Gu Li leaned back on the sofa, letting out a long sigh.

Upon returning to her room, Yi Bing finally realized that she still didn’t know why Gu Li had discovered that she had drugged Gu Li.

Of course, Gu Li would never tell her that she is allergic to sedatives, and that after just one sip, she was able to detect it…

The Imperial City University entrance exam consists of two subjects: specialized knowledge and comprehensive ability. There are two exam sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

The morning session is about architecture design-related knowledge, which begins at 8 am and ends at noon.

The grueling four-hour test, without a break, is a real test of the students’ willpower.

When Gu Li received her test paper, she laughed.

She finally understood why the acceptance rate was so low.

The thick test paper didn’t have a single multiple-choice or true-or-false question. All of the questions were fill-in-the-blank or short-answer questions. If she encountered a question she didn’t understand, there was no way to guess the answer; it all depended on real knowledge.

After signing her name, Gu Li started working on the test, not daring to waste a single moment.

The examination room was tense, filled with the sound of students writing their answers.

Time flew, and the morning examination session ended.

There was a two-hour lunch break. After having lunch with Yi Bing nearby, Gu Li returned to her car to have a short nap before heading back to the examination room.

The comprehensive ability examination would officially start at 2 pm. Gu Li arrived 15 minutes early and was about to turn off her phone when she received a text message..
