Their faces showed embarrassment, and they exchanged glances, each discerning the shock in the others' eyes.
"You may return," Zhao Changfeng said with a slight frown to the others.
The four hurriedly nodded, took a few steps back, and fell silent.
"Your Excellency, how about we both take a step back?" Zhao Changfeng turned to look at Xu Zimei and spoke indifferently.
"Why should I yield? You'd have to have the strength to negotiate with me first!" Xu Zimei replied lightly.

Since its establishment, the academy had taught countless students.
And there were innumerable powerful individuals among them.
