As the practitioners from Beihai Academy disappeared from the view of Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others, everyone's attention once again fell on the guard.
"Teacher, why bother with him? Let's just go in!" Cui Haoyan couldn't help but speak up.
This guy was deliberately making things difficult for them. He didn't even want to inform anyone. How could they prove their identities?
In fact, at this point, they felt that this was the intention of Lingyin Academy. Otherwise, with such a big matter, how could a mere guard dare to act on his own?
"Cui Haoyan is right. Let's just go in. This guard can't stop us at all!" Bai Junyu agreed.
They represented Canglan Academy, and now they were being stopped by a guard at the door. If this spread out, it would be a great humiliation.
Upon hearing this, the guard's expression changed slightly. "You actually want to forcefully enter Lingyin Academy? Do you believe I will immediately call the Royal Guards to kick you out?"
Lu Huaiyan and Fu Hongbo exchanged glances. The current situation was indeed beyond their expectations.
If they forcibly broke in, they would undoubtedly gain a bad reputation. But if they continued to stand here, it would be even more embarrassing.
Once the Royal Guards arrived, they would surely arrest them first. Then, this misunderstanding would escalate.
Even though they knew that Lingyin Academy was deliberately targeting them, they were helpless.
At that moment, Bai Li Hongzhuang turned to the guard and said, "Are you sure you want to keep us outside the gate?"
The guard glanced at Bai Li Hongzhuang and said, "Of course. You can't prove your identities, so how can I let you in?"
Lu Huaiyan and Fu Hongbo looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang with confusion. The current situation was unsolvable. They didn't know what Bai Li Hongzhuang had in mind.
"We were invited by Lingyin Academy to participate in the Academy Exchange Tournament. Do you dare to keep us outside? Are you sure you can bear the responsibility?" Bai Li Hongzhuang narrowed her phoenix eyes, exuding the aura of someone in a superior position. Even though Lingyin Academy was thriving, their methods were too excessive!
Canglan Academy was not to be trifled with either. If they didn't make their stance clear in this situation, they would likely be looked down upon.
The guard felt a strong pressure enveloping him, making it difficult for him to speak. The people above only ordered him to make things difficult for the students from Canglan Academy and embarrass them.
However, now that this woman said so, he was at a loss on how to respond.
After a moment of silence, the guard gathered his courage and said, "As a guard, it's my duty to stop people of unknown identity! What responsibility do I have?"
After saying this, a trace of pride appeared in the guard's eyes. He wasn't easily intimidated!
Just a mere student. They thought they could force him to submit with a few words. They were underestimating him.
Just as the guard expected Bai Li Hongzhuang to turn pale, he saw a cold smile slowly appear at the corner of her lips.
"Since Lingyin Academy doesn't welcome us, we'll leave then!"
As her words fell, Bai Li Hongzhuang's gaze landed on Lu Huaiyan and Fu Hongbo.
Lu Huaiyan and Fu Hongbo nodded in agreement. Given the current situation, it wasn't worth it to continue standing here. It was better to leave first.
As for the next steps, they would figure it out later.
