"Literary Institute Elder?"
"I didn't expect them to show up in person!"
"This competition between the five halls is really no small affair!"
Upon seeing several elders appear, the crowd erupted in exclamations of surprise and stood up in unison to show respect.
Witnessing this scene, Ye Shengnan and his entourage wore smiles full of pride and confidence.
As for the outcome of this competition, he had everything within his control.
However, Wu Liantian and the others' expressions were somewhat solemn.
After all, they had placed their hopes on this grand meeting and had high expectations for Qin Jiang.
But because of the meeting that had taken place two days earlier, everything had changed.
All their plans had been thrown into disarray, pushing them into a passive position.
Under the current circumstances, they could only take things one step at a time.
It was only after these Literary Institute Elders had taken their seats that the people in the venue slowly sat back down.
