Chapter 931 - 929: Uninvited Guests
All those participating in today’s dragon boat race have been rigorously selected from the academy; no one is foolish, so when Song Chongjin and Gu Zikai halted them, everyone calmed down.
Each of them took deep breaths and suppressed their anger, treating the nearby people from Baiyun Academy as mere buffoons.
The students from Baiyun Academy who purposely showed provocation found that the Changqing Academy people weren’t falling for it and had to give up.
The dragon boat of Changqing Academy was at the farthest edge, with Baiyun Academy’s next to it; the other academies naturally were placed farther away. However, only the students on the dragon boat next to Baiyun Academy seemed to notice something amiss, but upon looking again, everyone seemed as if nothing had happened, so they thought it was a trick of the eyes.
After Song Chongjin soothed his classmates, he looked towards the highest and largest viewing platform nearby, where a small boat was already ready, hinting that the race would soon begin.
He couldn’t help but let his gaze wander to the side of the academy’s stand, where there happened to be a willow tree. Although it wasn’t very lush, it was crowded today with people climbing all over it, obscuring most of the view behind the stand, only allowing occasional glimpses of silhouettes.
One couldn’t make out who those figures were at all.
From afar, Song Chongjin tried to spot Wang Yongzhu.
Meanwhile, Wang Yongzhu encountered unexpected guests.
Xiao Wu had just brought the food box and tea for a short time when Wang Yongzhu saw all the guests had arrived and checked the time; there was about half an hour before the race would start. She was about to go downstairs to give instructions since everyone would likely want to watch from the stands when the race began.
