There was a brief silence on the field again. Those who had just walked out fell silent, with confusion and hesitation on their faces.
To stake one's future on a competition is too high a gamble.
Tao Jing suddenly spoke up, "This bet is unfair. If you win, none of us will be called 'Scholars'; if you lose, only you will lose your title. Unless all the students at your Wenjin Academy lose their title of 'Scholars', your Wenjin Academy will be disbanded."
When Qiu Ziming and others heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
Qian Tong immediately jumped out, "This is the bet you made before. What's the point of adding us in? Why should I pay for his win or loss?"
The people around also felt that this condition was too much. Betting the entire academy on a competition was too frivolous and crazy.
Bei Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, and his meaningful gaze fell on Tao Jing and others, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
Qiu Ziming was about to argue with them, but Xiao Zimo raised his hand to stop him.
He walked forward and stood in front of Tao Jing.
At this time, the distance between them was only a few centimeters. He tilted his little head back. Although there was a height difference between them, he was not inferior to the other in momentum.
"That's fine, but you also have to bet on the future of all the students in your academy and the future of the academy. Anyone who loses will be disbanded." Xiao Moer replied coldly word by word.
"impossible."
"You're crazy."
Someone shouted immediately.
Tao Jing said coldly, "Impossible. You have only one academy, and we have so many. It's not fair."
A sneer appeared on Xiao Zimo's lips, "Fair?"
He looked at him like a fool. "How is it fair for a group of you to compete with me? It's like a group of you beating me up, and you're saying it's unfair to you. Tao Jing, how thick-skinned do you have to be to say something like that?"
Many people have just been led into a ditch by Tao Jing, who emphasizes the high price they paid but ignores Xiao Moer's weakness.
Someone watching the excitement outside immediately said, "That's right. You guys are bullying a child, and you still have the nerve to call it unfair."
"That's right. I thought scholars were all well-educated and reasonable people, but I didn't expect them to be even more unreasonable than us uncouth people."
"Who is this person? How can he say such things? How shameless!"
Those who spoke were the people who had nothing to do with their interests.
The students from various academies were squeezed so hard that their faces turned pale and blue, especially Xiangshan Academy, which was the focus of criticism.
Tao Jing noticed the dissatisfied looks cast at him from all around. He knew that if he didn't say something, he would probably offend all the students in the academy.
"My fellow villagers, these are my words, and they represent only my own opinion. They do not represent the opinions of all students in the academy."
Tao Jing took all the responsibilities on herself.
After he finished saying this, the dissatisfied glances at him suddenly decreased a lot.
Xiao Moer looked at the people around him and said, "No matter how you want to bet, I will accompany you to the end, as long as you can also put up the corresponding chips."
All of a sudden, those who were preparing to compete were afraid.
"I cannot represent the academy, nor can I represent all the students in the academy. I choose to withdraw." Zhou Qing from Hanshan Academy walked out from the center position.
