There were quite a few people present, and everyone watched as someone made the first move.
No matter how well you pretend, it won't change this fact.
The junior sister of Yunxiao Sect, her eyes reddening, froze, and as she stared blankly, tears rolled down her cheeks.
This appearance is truly somewhat comical.
"Don't go too far!" The Yunxiao Sect disciple who had been protecting his junior sister spoke up. He had obviously witnessed the whole thing, and his face was flushed red, but he still stood up to reprimand her.
"We're going too far?" Lin Fu scoffed. "Are you kidding me? Wasn't she the one who started this trouble?"
Lin Fu raised his finger and pointed at his junior sister, whose eyes were brimming with tears.
Although it seemed somewhat comical to the people in the South Courtyard, others saw it differently, instead perceiving it as a pitiful sight.
She is truly a delicate white lotus flower.
"I'm sorry. I just acted impulsively and did something wrong. Please don't blame my senior brother. She was just instinctively protecting me." The junior sister wiped away her tears and pretended to be strong as she waved the two senior brothers who were blocking her way behind her.
He even bent down to apologize while speaking.
They adopted an extremely humble posture.
This completely baffled Lin Fu.
He looked somewhat helplessly at the people in the South Courtyard behind him.
He scratched his head, clearly puzzled as to how someone who had been so insistent on blaming the South Campus for their mistakes could so easily admit wrongdoing.
This made it difficult for him to speak up, as doing so would make it seem as if the Southern Academy was really abusing its power and bullying people.
Lin Fu opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't say anything more, so he could only back down.
Lin Jingge stared intently at the junior sister of the Cloud Soaring Sect.
He suddenly gave a cold laugh.
That's a brilliant tactic of feigning retreat to advance.
This actually stunned Lin Fu, who was quite talkative.
She glanced back at the crowd that had gathered around her in the south courtyard.
Obviously, after the other party apologized, they were no longer so angry. Of course, "they" did not include the senior sisters who had already seen through that pretty boy.
"It's not a big deal. Since you know you were wrong, let's just let it go," Tang Cheng said.
She held her head high, looking superior.
Even though you're just accepting the apology, you say it as if you're doing them a favor.
The junior sister of Yunxiao Sect, who was still feeling smug, obviously did not expect Tang Cheng to answer her in such a tone, and her face stiffened.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Lin Jingge and several senior sisters who had seen through her innocent nature beckoning the people who had gathered from the South Courtyard to disperse.
Clearly, they didn't want to see her being disgusting anymore.
With no one left to watch, the play naturally couldn't continue.
Several senior sisters from the South Academy escorted Tang Cheng away, and before leaving, they didn't forget to cast a disdainful glance at the junior sister from the Cloud Soaring Sect.
They don't know what others think, but these are the kinds of people they hate the most.
Even though it was their own fault, they acted like victims after just a few words.
The senior female students in the South Campus are all straightforward and outspoken, so they naturally look down on such methods.
"Thank you, senior sisters, for standing up for me." Tang Cheng, protected by others, followed her senior sisters and whispered her thanks.
"We're all from the same college, no need to thank me for such a small thing!" The senior girls waved their hands, completely unconcerned about the trivial matter.
Tang Cheng turned around and glanced at Lin Jingge.
Lin Jingge and Lin Fu walked leisurely behind her, following her to the very front below the arena.
After this little incident, the match on the stage is over, and it's time to announce the results.
The winner of the alchemy competition was from the Yunding Sect.
A single Rank 6 pill stole all the limelight.
As Tang Cheng had predicted, the fifth-grade pill she gritted her teeth and refined came in third place.
All the top three finishers in the competitions will receive a reward.
Teacher Liu returned the award certificate, walked up to Tang Cheng, and gave her the prize.
"Well done." Teacher Liu patted Tang Cheng on the shoulder with great satisfaction.
His eyes were full of admiration.
Although it was only a top-three finish, it was already the best result for the South Campus in recent years.
It should be noted that apart from the formation technique, the other techniques in the Southern Academy are not very good.
This year, I encountered a promising talent like Tang Cheng, which is why I stayed by her side and forcibly refined a fifth-grade pill.
If Tang Cheng hadn't possessed sufficient talent in alchemy, no matter how much she was forced to practice, she probably wouldn't have succeeded.
Everyone in the South Academy smiled when they learned that their academy had come in third place in alchemy.
They all stepped forward to congratulate Tang Cheng.
This scene was witnessed by the Cloud Soaring Sect members not far away.
The Grand Elder of the Cloud Soaring Sect, in particular, looked extremely grim.
Their Yunxiao Sect was hoping to leap over the dragon gate this time, squeeze out the Southern Academy, and become the most powerful force on the Yunding Continent, enjoying the right to divide 90% of the continent's resources.
Who knew that today's first game would be such a Waterloo?
"Uncle Sun, I'm sorry, it's all Chan'er's fault for not being able to beat Nan Yuan." The one who spoke was the junior sister of Yunxiao Sect who had just argued with Tang Cheng and the others.
With tears in her eyes, she walked up to the Grand Elder of the Cloud Soaring Sect and began to speak.
This junior sister is the daughter of the Cloud Soaring Sect Master, and is a star revered throughout the sect.
She was also the one with the best alchemy results in their sect, ranking fifth.
“This is not your fault,” the Grand Elder of the Cloud Soaring Sect said.
He dared not blame the sect leader's daughter.
When the Cloud Soaring Sect Master returned not long after leaving, he noticed that the people present were acting strangely.
Only after asking did I learn that their Yunxiao Sect's best result at this time was only fifth!
His expression immediately turned sour.
Chan'er quickly stepped forward: "Father, it's all Chan'er's fault, I couldn't win."
Seeing his daughter's red eyes, the Cloud Soaring Sect Master, who had been stern, instantly softened his tone and comforted her. Afterwards, he was summoned by the Grand Elder to a secret meeting.
The Grand Elder of the Cloud Soaring Sect was very cautious in his actions; he set up a barrier before speaking.
"Sect Master, we should probably make plans for this matter as soon as possible. If the Southern Academy continues to win tomorrow, all our plans over the past year will likely fall through!"
Upon hearing this, Yunxiao Sect's gaze darkened.
It should be noted that they have given up a lot of resources in order to win over the other families. If they cannot squeeze out the Southern Academy and take the top position this time, their Cloud Soaring Sect will probably suffer a great loss and it will take a long time to recover.
He pondered for a moment.
She looked up at the Grand Elder, who had been waiting for her to make a decision, and waved to him.
The Grand Elder of the Cloud Soaring Sect immediately understood and leaned in to listen.
Then he heard the Cloud Soaring Sect Master whisper a few words. He nodded.
"Proceed according to the original plan. We absolutely cannot let them win the remaining few!" The Cloud Soaring Sect Master's tone was ruthless.
"I'll get on it right away."
"We must be careful about this matter; the Yunding Sect has eyes and ears everywhere."
