"How could they have left?" Ruan Yulong found it hard to believe. "Could it be that they're not participating in the academy exchange anymore?"
According to his thinking, there was no way they could just leave like this.
Duan Yingwu and Mo Xinghai also restrained their smiles. This academy exchange was specifically organized to deal with Canglan Academy. If Canglan Academy failed again in this exchange, they would never be able to hold their heads high in front of them.
Now that Canglan Academy's team had left, if they didn't participate in the academy exchange, all their preparations and arrangements would be in vain.
Most importantly, being blocked outside Lingyin Academy gave Canglan Academy a reason to refuse to participate. It would be troublesome...
"Hongzhuang, are we really leaving like this and not participating in the academy exchange?" Xia Zhiqing couldn't suppress her confusion and asked.
Baili Hongzhuang waved her hand with a confident smile. "We will naturally participate in the academy exchange."
"Then what do we do now that we've left?" Xia Zhiqing asked, still puzzled.
"We just need to find an inn in the imperial city. Lingyin Academy went to great lengths to arrange this exchange, so they definitely won't let us leave like this."
Baili Hongzhuang's lips curved into a self-assured and certain smile. In her opinion, Lingyin Academy's move today was simply foolish. They had kept them outside the gate just to mock them, but now that they were leaving, Canglan Academy's principal would personally come to invite them back!
In this way, which academy would lose more face?
Lu Huaiyan and Fu Hongbo understood completely after hearing Baili Hongzhuang's words. They couldn't help but secretly admire Baili Hongzhuang's intelligence.
"If they don't want us to leave, they will definitely come to invite us back. Let's spend the next two days staying in an inn and exploring the bustling city of Qingxiao," Lu Huaiyan said with a smile.
Baili Hongzhuang's approach not only preserved their dignity but also ensured that Lingyin Academy would lose face. It couldn't be better.
After understanding the situation, Bai Junyu and the others smiled with relief.
"Haha, did you see the guard's face turn green as soon as we mentioned leaving?" Xia Zhiqing laughed.
Now that they knew the whole story, they no longer felt nervous. Looking back at the guard's appearance, they found it quite ridiculous.
"They're just bullies. They will definitely suffer when we leave," Liu QinYue said coldly.
As cultivators of Canglan Academy, they had always been respected. They had never experienced such humiliation before.
Dongfang Yu lightly chuckled, "Even if that guard is fine now, we just need to mention it in front of the Lingyin Academy's principal, and he won't have an easy time."
As Dongfang Yu finished speaking, everyone gave him a thumbs-up.
This idea was really great!
Baili Hongzhuang and the others casually found an inn in the imperial city to stay. Despite traveling for such a long time, they didn't feel the slightest bit tired. They were just very interested in the imperial city of Qingxiao.
"The two mentors have gone to find the vice principal. How about we explore this imperial city tonight?"
