Chapter 916 - 914 Something Must Be Wrong
Speaking of it, the scholars who study at Baiyun Academy are akin to phoenix eggs in their families; being chosen to participate in the dragon boat race, they are the crème de la crème of the academy.
On ordinary days, when they go out, they are admired by everyone and esteemed by their teachers. When have they ever experienced being guarded against like thieves?
They feel completely uncomfortable.
The leading teacher wore a grim expression and did not speak.
In the past, when Baiyun Academy visited Changqing Academy, they were always allocated the largest guest quarters, living comfortably and freely, able to go anywhere at their leisure.
As long as the requests were not excessive, Changqing Academy would generally be accommodating.
This time, however, not only were they given a small guest house, squeezing some twenty people together.
Previously, for meals, Changqing Academy would arrange a separate small kitchen in the guest quarters, hiring a cook woman to prepare meals for them.
They could eat whatever they wanted.
Now, Changqing Academy no longer mentions it, even when asked about meals, their steward begrudgingly says they are short-staffed due to dragon boat race preparations, and requests understanding for the lack of hospitality.
