Qin Liu’s attitude was a little stiff, but many people thought the same as she did.
They also knew that Master Qiu’s daughter was the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, while Xie Qiao’s eldest brother was the one who exposed the Zhou family’s big crime.
It was normal for Master Qiu to hate everyone in the Xie family.
Master Qiu did not seem angry, he looked at the crowd and said in a calm tone, “Since Xie Qiao came to the Royal Academy, we have the responsibility to teach her. The atmosphere in the Orchid Courtyard is loose. It would be unfair for Xie Qiao’s talent to stay there. The students in the Peony Courtyard are indeed smart and hardworking. What’s wrong with letting her go?”
The faces of the people from Orchid Courtyard turned slightly red.
They also knew that the people in the Peony Courtyard were more outstanding.
.
“But there are people in the Peony Courtyard who don’t like Xie Qiao. Sister Xie didn’t say she wanted to go there…” Qin Liu’s voice was much softer.
She also felt a little guilty.
Xie Qiao was someone who achieved eight first prizes in examinations. Only the reputation of the Peony Courtyard could match her.
However, she could not help but stubbornly think that many people in the Peony Courtyard were fierce. If Xie Qiao went there, there would be countless troubles!
“Are you doing this for her good? Young Lady Xie is so smart, but she doesn’t know how to work harder. She has been in the academy for a few months, and she only attends Master Lu’s classes every month. Do you think that’s good for her?” Master Qiu’s face was cold, “In the past few years, the examination results of the Orchid Courtyard have been getting worse and worse. Now, there’s only Xie Qiao. In my opinion, the Orchid Courtyard is not worthy of the reputation of the eight first prizes. If you want Xie Qiao to stay, all of you have to compete with the Peony Courtyard.
“If you prove that your ability is not worse than the Peony Courtyard, then… Xie Qiao can stay.” Master Qiu added.
Xie Qiao had just rushed over when she heard that sentence.
She suddenly came to a realization.
This Master Qiu was stirring trouble with the Orchid Courtyard!
And she was simply a chess piece used to oppress the students of the Orchid Courtyard!
If she went to the Peony Courtyard today, this old man would probably say that the Orchid Courtyard was a group of trash and that those who had good results in the examination would immediately leave!
If that was the case, regardless of whether they were men or women, the atmosphere of a struggle between the two courtyards would be stirred up in the entire academy.
The Peony Courtyard might look down on the Orchid Courtyard even more, and the people of the Orchid Courtyard… would also be fired up with fighting spirit!
With this thought, it was no wonder that Master Lu would agree to let her go.
The women’s academy had always been dull, and the teachers had low requirements for women, but the men’s academy was different. Every student studied here for the sake of their future!
However, over the years, the Peony Courtyard had become very famous. Over time, the other courtyards had gotten used to having the Peony Courtyard as the leader!
The competition between the two courtyards had become less and less. Even after the Orchid Courtyard lost to Peony Courtyard, they felt it was only right!
It was indeed not a good thing.
There were five courtyards in each ranking. The students of Begonia Courtyard and Snowball Bush Courtyard were younger, but the people of the remaining three courtyards were not too different in age. Indeed, they should not be willing to be beaten and admit defeat.
This Master Qiu had used personal grudges to make the students of the Royal Academy compete with each other. This kind of behavior was definitely clear and tacitly acknowledged by the dean and the other people in charge of the academy.
From the perspective of the academy, Master Qiu’s action could be considered as sacrificing himself for others.
However, Xie Qiao felt quite wronged at this moment.
How did she become a target?!
Moreover, if she really went to the Peony Courtyard, she would probably become the public enemy of all the students of Orchid Courtyard!
This Master Qiu was really shrewd. He could even think of such a sinister yet decent method!
