Chapter 864: She Doesn’t Even Have What It Takes To Be Compared To Leng Xuan

Gu Mang did not say anything. She looked at Head Elder expressionlessly with her cold, dark eyes.

When Head Elder saw that she was determined to take over Base 102, he laughed and said, “Young Lady, you cannot manage Base 102 just because you want to. You have to go through rounds of a.s.sessments. You also need to be the best in terms of medical skills.”

Although Leng Xuan did not have the best talents on Jijing Island, when it came to medical skills, no one could match her. This allowed her to keep her position as the head of Base 102.

Also, she was very outstanding in other aspects. Despite two shameful scandals, she had managed to retain her position as an Elder.

Leng Xuan smirked. She looked really contemptuous as she leaned back with her chin lifted.

Does Gu Mang think that just because she got a perfect score on the compet.i.tion’s written test she can challenge me for leaders.h.i.+p of Base 102?

Her team had created the exam.

Does Gu Mang think that she is really impressive just because she scored full marks on it?

Gu Si, who had been quiet the entire time, spoke up. “Isn’t the head of Base 102 whoever has the greatest capabilities? If Leng Xuan can take the position, why can’t my sister?”

The Head Elder turned to look at him and said, “Young Master, if Young Lady wishes to take over Base 102, she has to prove that her abilities are better beyond Elder Leng’s. We aren’t talking about other aspects, just her medical skills.”

He stopped at that and did not say anything that could be interpreted as awkward.

Elder Bi squinted and continued in a harsh tone, “Taking over Base 102 is a big deal and everyone from the four big families will hear about it. Young Lady, now that you are back, you need to create a firm impression. Do you think you can keep your spot as the head of the council if everyone sees your results as the leader of Base 102? Don’t bring shame to yourself even before you accomplish anything.”

“Yeah, Young Lady. The Elders’ a.s.sociation has already arranged training for you. It is best that you take things slowly. Rome wasn’t built in a day.” The elder from the medical research center said with a smile.

There were signs of mockery in his tone.

“That’s right, wouldn’t you be embarra.s.sing yourself if you began the a.s.sessment and couldn’t achieve desirable results?” Another elder from the Research Inst.i.tute of Computing Technology said with great confidence.

Everyone felt that Gu Mang was rather arrogant. They thought that she should take into account how she only had two years of training under her belt and evaluate her own skills first.

They had heard that Gu Mang had a lot of businesses outside of Jijing Island.

Lan Ting and the X Voice Factory were nothing impressive. It was no different from being idle.

The only professional career that could be highly regarded were the years she spent as the Criminal Division’s Chief Forensic Doctor.

Gu Mang could not be compared to Leng Xuan.

Leng Xuan’s eyes shone slightly when she heard the elders’ words.

Suddenly, she said, “Young Lady, it is good that you have aspirations. The a.s.sessment is just something that can be arranged anytime. If the results aren’t great, you can just continue your training.”

When the others heard her, they frowned and turned to Leng Xuan. They were all clever. They knew what Leng Xuan intended to do. She wanted to watch Gu Mang humiliate herself.

The Head Elder’s eyes turned gloomy.

Leng Xuan looked at Gu Mang. “We don’t even know what your weaknesses are, Young Lady. We can just use the a.s.sessment system at Base 102 to do a preliminary test. Then, it will be easier for us to make arrangements for the training, won’t it?”

She made herself sound so upright. Everyone looked at each other. They knew that Leng Xuan had bad intentions, but they couldn’t deny that she was speaking the truth.

The hall quieted down and everyone looked at each other as they thought.

Gu Mang did not have any expression on her face. The phone in her pocket vibrated and she took it out to reply to the message.

After a while, the Head Elder looked up at Gu Mang.

He broke the silence. “Young Lady, if you take first place in the physiology compet.i.tion, I will arrange for the Base 102 a.s.sessment.”

Leng Xuan looked down. A smile was creeping onto her face.

Even if Gu Mang is capable of pa.s.sing military training, an a.s.sessment in any other field will show where she really stands.
