Qin Kang's previously pale face flushed bright red. His venomous eyes locked onto Ling Xiao as he pointed and stammered, "You… You—you have no noble bearing!"
"Hahahaha!"
The crowd of onlookers erupted into unrestrained laughter, clearly enjoying themselves. Some were even doubled over, laughing without any care for their image. 'Who would've thought this Ling Xiao, who's usually so unassuming, could be so infuriating when he spoke? But damn, it feels good, doesn't it?'
The onlookers looked at Ling Xiao with complicated expressions, but the disgust they once felt had clearly diminished. Some even resolved that if Qin Kang dared to bully Ling Xiao here, they would not stand idly by. The Imperial Academy didn't have a tradition of letting outsiders show up on their doorstep to bully its students, not even if the target was a laughingstock!
