Chapter 912 - 910: How Did It Change?_2
Along the way, no one knows who started it, but suddenly someone uttered astonishing words, suggesting that perhaps Changqing Academy lost last year and feared losing again this year, so they meddled, influencing high-ups to deliberately sabotage Baiyun Academy, hoping they’d perform poorly in the autumn exams.
It was merely a jest, yet it struck a chord with some, who had been chosen in Baiyun Academy’s team for their slightly robust physique despite mediocre grades.
They harbored resentment, wondering how much coursework would be disrupted along the way. Originally unsure about the autumn exams, this turmoil made it seem unlikely that they’d succeed this year.
Already disgruntled, they increasingly felt the statement made sense.
As they pondered over this, alighting from the boat, ideally, they should have followed the academy’s teacher and their classmates to Changqing Academy.
Changqing Academy had dedicated guest quarters to accommodate them.
However, they found an excuse to sneak away midway, intending to wander around Jing County and gather some news about Changqing Academy. If they could ignite trouble, humiliate Changqing Academy, and vent their anger, that would be ideal.
Wandering through, they found Jing County prosperous, with citizens well-dressed and courteous.
Originally thinking they’d return empty-handed, they suddenly heard some women scolding their children, which drew nearby questions overheard by them.
Truly, when heaven wants to help one, it’s effortless.
