Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Kneeling Down

Without hesitation, Qiao Xiaomai replied, "No money, no loans."

The forced smile on Mrs. Sun's face instantly collapsed. She took a deep breath, and with a stern face said, "Xiaomai, if your fifth uncle becomes successful, you can surely benefit from it as well."

This gathering was an exchange meeting hosted by Bailu Academy and the Imperial College.

Due to the headmaster Gu's influence, Bailu Academy was the biggest and most famous academy in Daqi, but since Gu had already retired, Bailu Academy was only considered a private institute.

While the Imperial College is the official academy of Daqi and the highest place of learning.

Every three years, the two institutes have an exchange meeting, and only the most knowledgeable or noble students are sent to participate.

This year, the exchange was to be held at Bailu Academy, and Sun Junyan, after much effort, had gotten Fan Jia to agree to attend with him.
