Chapter 1593: Chapter 1595: Golden Core Stage and Qi Refinement Realm Are About the Same

"Senior sister, this is Nanshan City, huh? It’s far worse than our place!"

A young, mischievous-looking girl said while holding the arm of a long-haired girl.

"Of course, junior sister, this Nanshan City can’t compare to our Hengqin City." A man walked by and said.

The man was quite handsome, but he gave off a tense vibe.

Then, he looked at the long-haired girl: "Senior sister Mu Qing, should we fly in on our swords?"

"Hey, hey, Zhou Shuai, I’m warning you! Stop trying to get close!" The mischievous girl glared fiercely at the tense man, "Everyone knows what you’re thinking!"

"Wen Ya, junior sister, you..."

Zhou Shuai smiled bitterly, unsure of what to say.

Why would a girl stop him from pursuing Mu Qing?

"Better not. After all, it’s their city, and we should show some respect." The much-admired Mu Qing finally spoke.

Her voice was pleasant, gentle, with the air of a noble lady.

Just by hearing the voice, one could understand why Zhou Shuai liked Mu Qing so much!

"Stop talking, let’s go in and end this quickly."

A disheveled man with wrinkled clothes leaned against the side and said blandly, "Zhou Shuai, put away your little thoughts, you’re like someone in heat."

"Ding Leng, mind your crap... What are you doing?!"

Zhou Shuai’s face immediately fell upon hearing that. He wanted to curse, but realized Mu Qing was nearby and quickly changed his tone.

"Tch." The man called Ding Leng let out a cold laugh, showing undisguised disdain in his eyes.

"Alright, stop arguing, let’s go. Nanshan Academy should be waiting for us." The team leader stepped forward to lead the way.

"What’s there to wait for? After today, they’ll be merged into our Hengqin Academy." Wen Ya chirped away.

"No, junior sister Wen Ya, part of them, just a small part. We don’t want the leftovers." Zhou Shuai chuckled.

"Yeah, just like your kind, we don’t want either." Ding Leng said flatly.

"Ding Leng! Enough is enough!" Zhou Shuai gritted his teeth in anger.

The team leader shook his head without saying more.

However, he didn’t deny what Zhou Shuai and the others said.

After it ends, they’ll indeed have to pick and choose.

Not even considering the strength of the people here, the atmosphere is already quite bad. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Last time he visited, it was simply unbearable.

General Lei listened to these evaluations of Nanshan City, and his face was extremely unpleasant.

They really looked down on Nanshan City, huh.

After all, Nanshan City is the largest city in the surrounding areas!

However, he had no way to refute them.

Compared to Hengqin City, they indeed fell short in many ways.

That’s why the City Lord pays so much attention to this matter. If even Nanshan Academy is gone, they’ll lose thoroughly!

Lu Xiaobu, you must find a way to hold on!

...

The team leader led the group inside.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Nanshan Academy.

They expected many people to welcome them, but only saw two or three indifferent people.

Most outrageously, there hung a banner at the top of the entrance!

"Welcome Hengqin Academy to merge into Nanshan Academy"

What does this mean?!

This little Nanshan City really thinks it has them all set?!

It’s an insult!

Instantly, the faces of those from Hengqin City turned dark, even the most elegant Mu Qing looked unhappy.

The hot-tempered Wen Ya jumped up: "What do you Nanshan Academy mean by this?! This is provocation!"

"Outrageous! I think there’s no point in annexing Nanshan Academy!" Zhou Shuai said with a sullen face.

"It seems they’ve come with a resolve to die!" Ding Leng said coldly.

The team leader’s face was also quite ugly, and he looked towards the welcoming Jiang Hanyi: "Jiang Hanyi, you’ve gone too far!"

"This..." Jiang Hanyi chuckled bitterly. "I didn’t do this, do you believe me?"

He had already guessed this would happen and planned to put the blame on Lu Xiaobu.

But when it came to it, he found he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

"Not you? The head of Nanshan Academy, and you’re lying? If you did it, then you did it. We were never a close relationship!" The team leader said with displeasure.

"Sigh!"

Jiang Hanyi kept chuckling bitterly.

He realized this too, hence his hesitance.

The other side didn’t know about the upheaval at Nanshan Academy.

Even if they knew, they probably wouldn’t believe it.

Who would believe a newcomer took control of Nanshan Academy in a month?!

Moreover, if the others knew Lu Xiaobu was the headmaster, they might not let Lu Xiaobu fight.

So, he had no choice but to be like mud on pants — dirty, regardless!

"I’m sure Nanshan City has prepared to deal with our Golden Core Stage people. Such confidence!" Zhou Shuai sarcastically said again.

He wanted to see the expressions of the people here!

Golden Core Stage, several of them!

Aren’t they scared?!

However!

Zhou Shuai frowned noticing the already indifferent welcomes became even more dismissive!

Not an ounce of fear?!

How is this possible?!

Didn’t he recall Nanshan Academy didn’t have students at the Golden Core Stage!

How could these students at the Qi Refinement Realm show no fear towards the Golden Core Stage?!

The greeters were all rolling their eyes.

Golden Core Stage?

Who are they trying to scare?!

Just a few days ago, one died, and was defeated by a Qi Refinement student.

After that incident, their previous fear of the Golden Core Stage had long vanished.

Of course, it’s not that they weren’t truly afraid,

but they’ve pretty much lost the sense of boundary that came with the rank!

Qi Refinement? Golden Core?

Almost the same, almost the same!

If Zhou Shuai knew what they thought, he might have spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Qi Refinement and Golden Core are the same? What kind of international standard is that?"

Awkwardness lingered for a moment.

"Everyone, come inside; don’t just stand there." Jiang Hanyi broke the awkwardness, inviting everyone in.

Then, he said to Yuan Hong, "Go, invite Lu Xiaobu."

"Yes!"

Yuan Hong felt bitterness inside.

If it were possible, he really didn’t want to find Lu Xiaobu.

Every time he saw Lu Xiaobu, he had a conditioned reflex — cheek pain!

But now, not going was not an option!

Sigh, might as well go!

Feel the pain once more!

As they walked into Nanshan Academy, others finally noticed the issue Zhou Shuai had seen.

Why weren’t the Nanshan Academy people afraid of them?

This isn’t right!

Especially the team leader, this feeling was the most obvious. Last time he came, the flattery and fear in their eyes were his most distinct memories.

But now, it’s all gone?!

What happened at Nanshan Academy?!
