Chapter 911 - 910: How Did It Change?
"What do you mean by that?" The older brother looked at Wang Yongzhu, questioning with his mouth, but his raised fist slowly lowered.
"Haven’t you heard? They are from Baiyun Academy. Last fall, Baiyun Academy outperformed our Changqing Academy. This year, they suddenly came to Jing County, who knows what their intentions are? Listening to their words, they seemed to discredit Jing County and Changqing Academy. Maybe they are looking to stir up trouble!"
"If, by any chance, you throw a punch, and they accuse you of injuring them, crying that their hand’s broken, leg’s crippled, or their eye’s damaged, they might push the responsibility onto Changqing Academy, falsely accusing it of hiring thugs to harm them. Even if Changqing Academy had many mouths, it wouldn’t be able to explain its way out!"
"Really?" The older brother showed a confused look, could throwing a punch have such severe consequences?
"Who knows for sure? You can’t see through a person’s heart! Baiyun Academy and our Changqing Academy have been at odds for years. Who knows if they’re planning something against us? Whether they are or not, we have to be cautious, right?"
"Besides, anyone with discernment can see what’s going on. We won’t make the first move, nor let them leave. Let’s report to the authorities! Leave it to the Yamen to handle!" Wang Yongzhu knew that this matter involved many parties and could easily turn messy, so it was best to avoid getting hands-on.
Those nearby who were clear-headed also chimed in, "The Scholar’s Lady speaks the truth! Those scholars from Baiyun Academy came here unusually! Just when everything’s fine, they start worrying about trivial matters? Something’s off, it can’t be a good thing!"
"Look at their shifty-eyed, sneaky look, they’re up to no good! They might be here to cause trouble for our Changqing Academy!"
