Seeing Xie Chengyun getting off the carriage, Ning Que couldn't help being a little disappointed. He noticed that Xie Chengyun had no intention of defending him though Xie Chengyun, obviously, had heard the rumors. In this situation, Ning Que, unwilling to explain more, just shook his head and said to them, "If you think I'm mean, you could just persuade Xie Chengyun not to go upstairs, instead of quarreling with a mean person."
Zhong Dajun, noticing that Ning Que wasn't irritated by his words at all, stopped the lad on the way and sullenly said, "You can't go upstairs today anyway."
After a stunned moment, Ning Que laughed. He lowered his head, slowly rolled up his sleeves, and gently asked, "Is the Academy your personal property? No. The old library? Neither. And could you beat me up?"
