"If you have the guts, don't leave. Let's continue fighting!"
Xia Zhiqing had a smug smile on her face. She never thought much of the specially recruited students from Beihai Academy; they were just a bunch of show-offs.
Xiao Lanmei glanced at Bai Li Hongzhuang deeply without saying a word, then left with the group from Beihai Academy.
"Hmph, I thought they were so impressive!" Xia Zhiqing pouted and twisted her body, her pretty face filled with excitement. "The expression on Lv Jingqi's face just now was priceless. I never expected it to be so funny, haha!"
"Pfft." Zhan Yunfeng couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Zhiqing, you're truly a genius. I have no idea how you came up with this idea."
"It was just a moment of inspiration, a stroke of genius!" Xia Zhiqing raised an eyebrow, looking like a mischievous troublemaker.
"This time, Lv Jingqi must hate you to the core." Liu Qinyue sighed.
Xia Zhiqing shrugged indifferently. "Let her hate. We were destined to be enemies from the beginning."
The others nodded in agreement. The students from Beihai Academy were not worth caring about in their eyes.
Even if they didn't offend them now, they would still be opponents at Lingyin Academy.
"Originally, this was an opportunity to test their true strength," Gong Shaoqing said slowly. "Xiao Lanmei's power is not simple."
He had only fought against Xiao Lanmei for a short time, but he could feel that Xiao Lanmei hadn't used her full strength and had deliberately held back.
Hearing Gong Shaoqing's words, the expressions of the others became slightly solemn. As one of the three major academies, the specially recruited students from Beihai Academy naturally wouldn't be weak.
"Even if we try to test them now, we probably won't be able to figure out their true depths. They will definitely have some hidden cards, just like us," Bai Li Hongzhuang said, her eyes filled with thoughtful light. The current confrontation was nothing more than a battle of pride for them. Unless they could push the cultivators from Beihai Academy to the brink, they wouldn't be able to truly gauge their strength.
However, the current situation was definitely not favorable for that. It was believed that what had just happened between them was not only known to them, but also to the mentors of both academies.
As long as the mentors were present, they wouldn't be able to truly reveal each other's depths.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Bai Li Hongzhuang's words made sense.
"You're right, but we've also gained some understanding of the team from Beihai Academy. It can be considered a gain from this encounter," Zhan Yunfeng said, walking beside Xia Zhiqing and giving her a thumbs-up. "Zhiqing, your move earlier was really enjoyable, haha."
Xia Zhiqing chuckled and nodded. "Lv Jingqi is really annoying. Now that I've caught her weakness, let's see how she acts all high and mighty in front of me next time."
"We're all tired. Let's find an inn to rest for now," Dongfang Yu suggested.
"Okay!"
The group walked a distance and casually entered an inn.
"Are you looking to stay, honored guests?"
The shopkeeper approached with a smile. Although business had been decent in this border city, he didn't expect to have two waves of customers today.
With this, their inn would be filled to the brim!
Dongfang Yu nodded. "Do you have eight rooms available?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly. "We happen to have eight rooms left. Please allow me to take you, honored guests."
