Summer Zhiqing's words had no hidden meaning at all. In any case, they and the practitioners from Beihai Academy had long grown to detest each other.
Since she had the opportunity to mock them, she wouldn't waste it. It would also shut the mouths of the Lu Jinglin sisters completely.
After listening to Summer Zhiqing's words, the Lu Jinglin sisters were furious. However, in the current situation, they couldn't find any words to refute.
After Xiaolan Mei descended from the stage, Lu Jinglin looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Xiaolan Mei, why did you choose to surrender?"
Xiaolan Mei had always been the person she admired.
Although Xiaolan Mei was cold and rarely spoke, he didn't pay much attention to her. But as long as Xiaolan Mei's strength was strong enough, that was the greatest charm.
However, she couldn't understand why Xiaolan Mei chose to give up at such an important moment today.
The person she regarded as the strongest was now defeated without a fight. This was no longer a matter of strength but a matter of confidence.
"You're not just representing yourself when you go up there, but also the honor of the academy. How can you choose to surrender like this?"
Lu Jingqi was obviously not as polite as Lu Jinglin. If it weren't for Xiaolan Mei's actions, they wouldn't have been ridiculed by others.
Xiaolan Mei gave Lu Jingqi a cold glance but didn't speak. However, the murderous intent in his eyes was frighteningly intense.
Seeing Xiaolan Mei's gaze, Lu Jingqi's face changed, and a trace of horror flashed in her eyes.
It was the first time she had seen such a terrifying gaze. Xiaolan Mei seemed as if he wanted to kill her, and the dense killing intent made her feel as if she was trapped in an ice cave. She couldn't utter a word that was stuck in her throat.
Xiaolan Mei withdrew his gaze and returned to his original position. His already cold face was now filled with a chilling coldness.
Lu Jingqi took two steps back and dared not say anything more. This Xiaolan Mei was truly terrifying.
Mo Xinghai and Duan Yingwu looked at Xiaolan Mei in the same way, speechless.
In the face of the academy's interests, nothing else mattered. This was something Xiaolan Mei had to bear.
Although Nangong Aochen was slightly surprised by Xiaolan Mei's decision to surrender, he didn't pay much attention to it.
In his eyes, both Xiaolan Mei and the two from Canglan Academy were not his opponents. It was wise for Xiaolan Mei to choose surrender at this moment.
Otherwise, after the battle, Xiaolan Mei's strength would be affected, and he would be at a disadvantage when facing the two from Canglan Academy.
Huan Chu You quietly focused his gaze on Jian Qingqiu and Cang Hongxi. When Xiaolan Mei announced his surrender, he already understood that there must be something fishy going on.
Now, Lingyin Academy and Beihai Academy had joined forces, sparing no effort to make Canglan Academy come last.
However, he didn't expect Beihai Academy to directly make Xiaolan Mei surrender. It was a pity for Xiaolan Mei.
Thinking of this, Huan Chu You felt a trace of tension in his heart. Both Nangong Aochen and Xiaolan Mei had strong abilities.
Baili Hongzhuang had a chance against Xiaolan Mei, but she would struggle against Nangong Aochen.
In this way, it seemed that the first place in Lingyin Academy couldn't be changed.
Huan Chu You's expression was slightly complex, but he soon regained his calm. In any case, it was not easy for Canglan Academy to come this far in the academy exchange competition.
At least they had won first place in the Alchemy Competition.
