Gu Xin Yan sat within the pavilion and saw the "heated exchange" between Hua Yao and Qiao Chu, her heart secretly heaving a sigh of relief.
Looks like her guess had not been wrong. The relationship between the few people were not too amicable. They had not really been able to go all out against each other only because they were here within the academy but given the chance, a fight might really break out between them.
After realizing that, Gu Xin Yan was feeling a little more at ease. What she was afraid of was for the other five palaces to be on good terms, which would make her attempt at lobbying today highly difficult to achieve any result.
Qiao Chu and Hua Yao came to the pavilion first and Gu Xin Yan said a few words in greeting.
