"Since we know we are going to lose, why don't we conserve our energy?" Ye Qingtang asked.
"Conserve energy? Teacher Ye has never participated in an Inter-Academy Competition before. Do you know that if the Netherworld Academy actively forfeits the preceding segments, the amount of criticism we would have to endure?"
"So you are saying that the Netherworld Academy is not being criticized now?" Ye Qingtang asked in a mild tone.
The teachers all stiffened.
From the moment the Netherworld Academy started to decline, the criticisms never ceased.
"I will consider this matter carefully. Everyone, please return first and think through it too. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know." Wen Qi spoke up. After imparting some other instructions, he allowed them to leave.
"Ye Qing, wait a moment." Wen Qi suddenly asked for Ye Qing to stay.
The other teachers all looked surprised.
