Compared to the shock revealed in everyone's expressions, Baili Hongzhuang appeared extremely indifferent.
She never showed mercy to her enemies. When Nangong Aochen ruined Nangong Aochen's plan, he wanted the entire team from Canglan Academy to be buried with him.
She was skilled at using the same methods against her opponents.
Since Nangong Aochen had made his decision, she naturally wouldn't be polite either.
However, in the end, she stood on the side of the victors.
Emperor Beichen looked at Baili Hongzhuang's calm expression, and admiration and praise glimmered in his eyes.
His wife's actions had always been impeccable, and even he couldn't help but be amazed by this poison.
While Xia Zhiqing and the others rushed to the scene, they couldn't help but mourn for Nangong Aochen and the others. It was not wise to offend anyone, let alone Baili Hongzhuang. They had brought this consequence upon themselves.
Bai Jingtian and the others remained calm. They had lived for half their lives and had seen all sorts of things. To them, this kind of situation was normal.
There was no cruelty or mercy; their stance had already determined everything.
Chu Jiyou and the others, after leaving the inn, still couldn't shake off their shock.
Because it was truly astonishing.
Baili Hongzhuang's age and skill were already enough to prove that she was extraordinary.
This time, the decision of the royal family was truly a huge mistake.
"Now, there's nothing more we can do," Lin Hao spoke slowly. They had already done their best.
Chu Jiyou nodded slightly, "Let's inform the Emperor about this news. As for the rest, it's no longer within our jurisdiction."
They had only come to inquire out of gratitude for the royal family's care over the years. At this point, they had done their utmost.
After all, even the royal family couldn't force them.
"The royal family has truly made a wrong decision this time, and it has also affected the relationship between the three major academies."
Chu Jiyou sighed softly. Perhaps it was destined. If the academy exchange meeting hadn't been moved up, none of this would have happened.
Jian Qingqiu and Cang Hongxi also had mixed feelings after seeing the royal family's strong attitude. They hadn't anticipated this outcome when they decided to hold the academy exchange meeting; they only wanted to suppress Canglan Academy.
Now that Canglan Academy had withdrawn, they didn't know what to do.
After witnessing the royal family's dominance, Jian Qingqiu already had a sense of foreboding.
Now, everyone believed that Lingyin Academy was the academy of the royal family, and its influence within Lingyin Academy would continue to grow. As the principal, he would also be constrained by the royal family...
Cang Hongxi's attitude had also changed to some extent. It was undoubtedly good for Lingyin Academy to have its current strength, but losing control of the academy was not a good thing either.
He had always believed that Jian Qingqiu's approach was beneficial and harmless, as it would increase the academy's influence and raise his own reputation.
However, now it seemed that the situation was not as optimistic as they had thought.
He needed to seriously consider it. Jian Qingqiu was already unable to extricate himself, but he still had a chance to break free.
Jian Qingqiu also noticed Cang Hongxi's thoughts, and his expression became unusually grim. However, given the current situation, he couldn't say much more.
