"Lingyin Academy was originally located in Lingyin City, on the border of Qingxiao Kingdom. However, after Lingyin Academy pledged allegiance to Qingxiao Kingdom, they moved the academy to the imperial city.
Nowadays, even the princes and princesses of Qingxiao Kingdom study in Lingyin Academy, making it a royal academy," Gong Shaqing explained slowly.
Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood. They hadn't expected such a close relationship between Lingyin Academy and Qingxiao Kingdom.
"No wonder Lingyin Academy has won the inter-academy competitions twice. With the financial support of Qingxiao Kingdom, their resources must be more abundant," Cui Haoyan commented.
Gong Shaqing waved her hand, "In doing so, they have somewhat deviated from the original purpose of establishing the academy. It has become completely subservient to the royal family, imposing many restrictions on the students.
I've heard that within Lingyin Academy, the royal and official families' offspring are highly sought after. The requirements for them to enter and cultivate are very low.
On the other hand, for cultivators from humble backgrounds, the conditions are extremely harsh."
"That's why many cultivators now want to come to Canglan Academy. Although the conditions may be slightly lacking compared to Lingyin Academy, at least they don't have to endure the ridicule of those arrogant people," Dongfang Yuhua interjected. She had anticipated this situation when Lingyin Academy became a vassal of Qingxiao Kingdom.
"Each principal has their own ideas, but it's excessive for the Lingyin Academy's principal to force us to follow their approach," Bai Li Hongzhuang said calmly. She never claimed that her own ideas were superior.
However, suppressing their own thoughts onto others was simply wrong.
The others nodded in agreement. This was exactly what angered them the most!
While they were discussing, Lu Huaiyan and Fu Hongbo appeared in front of them, but Huan Chu You was absent.
"The vice principal went to meet his friend in Qingxiao Kingdom. We will take you to Lingyin Academy first," Lu Huaiyan said with a smile. Throughout the journey, the students had not brought any shame to Canglan Academy.
The faces of the others also revealed smiles. They were curious about Lingyin Academy as well.
Under the guidance of Lu Huaiyan and Fu Hongbo, they slowly made their way to Lingyin Academy.
On both sides of the street, many people's gazes fell on Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others. After all, a group of young cultivators with such radiant expressions naturally attracted attention.
"I heard that the Three Academies Exchange Competition is about to begin. These young cultivators should be from one of the other two academies."
"Most likely. I've seen many students from Lingyin Academy, but not these few."
"I don't know about the others, but the students from this academy are really good-looking."
"However, Lingyin Academy has always been the strongest. They have won two consecutive competitions. If they win again this time, it will be a three-peat."
The crowd chatted and laughed, showing great optimism towards Lingyin Academy.
"It seems that Lingyin Academy has a good reputation in Qingxiao Kingdom," Bai Li Hongzhuang remarked slowly.
"Lingyin Academy has also produced many outstanding cultivators, and with the high regard of Qingxiao Kingdom, their status within the kingdom is naturally very high," Lu Huaiyan explained.
"However, precisely because of this, Lingyin Academy has become more and more arrogant. You should all be mindful and try not to provoke them," he advised.
