Face, not welcome

"Never mind. I know exactly what schemes you've been playing these years. Now, I have no intention whatsoever to compete with you or Canglan Academy for any reputation. You can do whatever you want."

As he looked at the hypocritical faces of Jian Qingqiu and Cang Hongxi, Huan Chuyou didn't even bother to pretend anymore. There was no need for further words.

Bai Li Hongzhuang had already made her decision, and no matter how much the royal family wanted to salvage the situation, they wouldn't waver.

When Huan Chuyou and the others had visited before, he had taken the time to understand Bai Li Hongzhuang's thoughts. After realizing how resolute she was, he understood.

As for Jian Qingqiu and Cang Hongxi, he had no emotional attachment to them anymore and didn't want to pay them any more attention.

Jian Qingqiu and Cang Hongxi were stunned. They didn't expect Huan Chuyou to be so straightforward with his words.

In this situation, they didn't even know what to say. Huan Chuyou had completely closed off all possibilities.

"Huan lao, by saying that, you're leaving no trace of the friendship we had these years," Jian Qingqiu's expression turned ugly. He never expected Huan Chuyou's attitude to be so resolute.

But hearing Jian Qingqiu's words, Huan Chuyou's expression remained unchanged. "The friendship between us has long disappeared with your actions throughout these years."

"Huan lao, you're going too far with your words!" Cang Hongxi frowned. With their identities, and considering Canglan Academy's position, Huan Chuyou should have been more courteous to them.

Huan Chuyou sneered. Cang Hongxi still hadn't grasped the true situation.

At this time, he was still trying to show off, which was meaningless.

"Even if I am going too far, so what? Haven't you done outrageous things throughout these years? The principals of the academy have always aimed to cultivate practitioners, but you attached yourselves to the royal family for your own reputation. Perhaps, you may be famous now, but there will come a day when the royal family completely overshadows your power, and when you become mere puppets, I will find it most enjoyable. Now, you may leave."

Huan Chuyou stood up, his once kind and gentle face now filled with indifference. Their paths had diverged.

Though they were all academy principals, their thoughts had completely diverged, and maintaining that false sense of camaraderie held no meaning.

Jian Qingqiu and Cang Hongxi's faces turned ashen. Huan Chuyou's words were a blatant slap in the face!

If they hadn't witnessed it themselves, they would never have believed that Huan Chuyou, who always had a gentle demeanor, could speak such words.

However, Jian Qingqiu's heart couldn't help but feel heavy. Huan Chuyou's words were like another stone weighing down on his heart.

As Huan Chuyou had said, the royal family's influence was truly terrifying. Now, their power within Lingyun Academy was no less than his as the principal.

Perhaps, in the future, Lingyun Academy would become a complete tool of the Qingxiao Kingdom's royal family, and he would realize it too late.

"This Huan Chuyou is truly crossing the line!" Cang Hongxi's face was filled with displeasure. He had already swallowed his pride by coming here today, but Huan Chuyou was even more impolite.
