Dean Chen carried Ye Qianning through the crowd and walked to the main seat at the head of the assembly. The instructors followed behind him, lining up behind the dean.
"It seems almost everyone has arrived. Please, be seated," Dean Chen said, his voice bright.
'Be seated?'
Below, many people looked left and right. Where were the seats?
Before they could even react, a group of youths in student uniforms appeared, carrying cushions. They quickly placed the cushions on the ground, one every half-meter, arranging them in neat rows all around.

The crowd was rendered speechless. Lou Mountain Academy was hosting a banquet, and they were expected to sit on the floor?
Ye Qianning found it quite amusing. The guests were almost all men; there were very few women. Each invitation admitted only one person, and no family members were allowed.
