Five minutes later, Qi Xuanxuan and them were unable to smile anymore…
The head referee Hong Chi walked to the center of the stage with large strides. He first looked at Qi Xuanxuan and them whose smiles had stiffened somewhat, and then at the seating area. He repeated his announcement, "Will the students of River Horse Academy please enter the stage!"
The sound of shuffling came from the seating area, and everybody looked at each other. They were all looking for traces of the students from River Horse Academy.
"Hey, what's going on? Where's River Horse Academy's Captain Sha Gua?"
"What time is it already? Why haven't they appeared yet?"
"What the hell is River Horse Academy up to! Do they think the academy ranking competition is a trifling matter?"
"That's right! What's the matter."
"Could it be that Sha Gua and them feel that they won't win against Apex Academy, so they're forfeiting the match?"
