At that moment, Nie Qinglan shot to her feet. She looked at Liu Ying and Ling Qi and declared sternly, "If this is how the Spring Garden banquet is going to be, then Qig Mountain Academy will take its leave."
After she spoke, everyone from Qig Mountain Academy rose as well.
Wen Qingye was a student of Qig Mountain Academy, and Nie Qinglan was its Vice Director. She could not bear to see Wen Qingye humiliated. So what if it meant offending the current Crown Prince and National Master?
Crown Prince Ling Qi sneered. "Hmph, a measly little Qig Mountain Academy. Good riddance. We weren't counting on you for the Thousand Rivers Secret Land anyway."
At this, Shu Jiuyi no longer hesitated. He stood up, faced Crown Prince Ling Qi, and cupped his fists. "Since there is no place for us here, I believe it's best we bid our farewells."
