The entire scene, erupted in a massive outcry!
Ye Xiao Lian let out a single cry and covered her face as she ran back into the woods while sobbing.
The disciples of Holy Maiden Peak gave him a few hard stares, then turned and left. Students of the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green who had previously looked at him with adulation also had a change in expression. Who would have thought, that previous exchange, those moving words, all were naught but a preparation for those final three words!
Jin Yu Lu and Xuan Yuan Po who had been listening on the side all this time affirmed to themselves, humans really are cunning and shameless; unworthy of trust. After this incident, Xuan Yuan Po unconsciously edged closer towards Chen Chang Sheng, unwilling to remain too close to Tang Thirty-Six; Jin Yu Lu sighed and said: “You’re the real trash here.”
Chen Chang Sheng didn’t know what to say and turned to gesture his farewell to Gou Han Shi. Though the words of Tang Thirty-Six were callous and low, they didn’t concern the Longevity Sect, therefore Gou Han Shi only shook his head, and returned the gesture before taking his juniors and returning to their lodgings.
Though no one approved of the actions of the girl from Holy Maiden Peak, she was still just a girl of 12 years, seeing her race away in a fluster of tears was enough to draw pity from a lot of the younger male students. They felt like she had been wronged, and where there is a wrong, it is only proper to speak out against it.
“A person who only knows how to bully a child through their words.”
From the group of Li Palace College students, Su Mo Yu remained silent. In truth, he was feeling rather disappointed, talks had been abound of Orthodox Academy’s revival, yet from what he saw today…
Chen Chang Sheng who was afraid Tang Thirty-Six would delay them further, urged them onwards: “Let’s go.”
Tang Thirty-Six looked towards the group of students and quickly said, “After I’ve finished, I’ll be back, if you’ve the guts, stay here.”
The students were once again in an uproar, this is Li Palace, the location of their schools. This wasn’t Orthodox Academy, for him to bully a little girl and then continue to display such arrogance, was simply an invitation for them to beat him to a pulp.
At this moment, from the deeper regions of the complex, the clear sound of a bell could be heard chiming, within the chimes were the faintest hint of admonishment.
