Chapter 865: Chapter 867: It Turns Out to Be the Holy Decree_1

Bai Ruozhu blinked her eyes, making sure she wasn't seeing things, and quickly glanced at the team beside her; the team next to Xuanlang Academy was from Nanyang Academy, and sure enough, there were also two female students.

Tu Ying also noticed this issue and gently tugged at Bai Ruozhu's sleeve, asking, "Why are there women in their team, could they be female students?"

Bai Ruozhu looked again; there were a few teams that had a handful of women, but only the Beiyu Academy, Tianfu Academy, and Baoqing Academy's teams had no women. Even Chang'an Academy had two women standing in their team, who they hadn't encountered even during the conflict the day before.

"How come I've never heard of female students participating in the competition? Could the rules of the competition have changed?" Bai Ruozhu also looked confused. Could it be that Danliang Country was especially progressive now, allowing women to study alongside men?
