Chapter 100: Chapter 90: Master Yan, I nominate you as the Big Brother!Shen Mei!
Ranked thirteenth in the family.
Her mother is cousins with Mrs. Luo, the wife of ’Secret Sect Boxing’ Luo Liang of the Guangling Ten Tigers, and Mrs. Luo has some ties with Cheng Fengxiao’s wife and Yan Chuan’s master’s wife, making her a distant aunt of Yan Chuan’s master’s wife.
By this calculation, Cheng Wenlong and Cheng Ah Bi should call Mrs. Luo ’Auntie’, and Shen Mei is called ’Aunt Thirteen’ by them.
Yan Chuan, being Cheng Fengxiao’s disciple, naturally followed suit with Cheng Wenlong and Cheng Ah Bi in addressing her as ’Aunt Thirteen’.
In the early years, the two of them got along quite well.
But eight years ago, when Guangling Academy was established, Shen Mei had a falling out with the Luo family, left the Martial Arts Hall, and joined the academy. At that time, she wanted Yan Chuan to join her, but Yan Chuan refused.
From then on.
One became New Faction.
The other Old School.
Their interactions reduced significantly.
Later, when Shen Mei was admitted as a re
Their stepping up was purely because they were part of Guangling Academy, and seeing one of the Ten Elders nearly killed in public, they had to put on some show.
Now that the academy had made a conclusion, they naturally no longer joined in, with no burden, they happily dispersed.
Those who had previously crossed paths with Yan Chuan or respected him from afar—
Teng Siqian cupped her fists to Yan Chuan, said nothing, and left the stage.
Xiang Yue grinned, "In the Guangling Academy, if I didn’t step up, these people would surely ostracize me in the future and settle accounts later; one cannot act freely in the Jianghu. Master Yan, please understand."
Li Jianhua said to Yan Chuan, "Master Yan, my apologies."
Meng Nan looked at Yan Chuan, "Master Yan’s talent is astonishing; Meng Nan is ashamed by the comparison and will surely seek to learn from you another time."
He Junjie laughed heartily, "You know, if it had come to a fight, I’d definitely have disrupted things, I’ll be honest, I’m the spy inside, guaranteeing they’d have a hard time hurting Master Yan! Wu Qi is disgraceful!"
Each one!
Is quite something!
This is Guangling Academy, united against external threats, yet everyone has their own mind, their own principles and adherence.
As for the higher-ups!
Today’s events showed them to be truly enlightened!
...
"Guangling Academy!"
"Truly enlightened!"
Returning to Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall, Shao Yancong and Ren Qiushan from Taikang Academy joined the discussion regarding the outcome of Guangling Academy’s actions today. Despite being a competing institution, the two had to praise Guangling Academy for its enlightened and magnanimous decision.
"Don’t even mention such a large academy."
"Even in the large Martial Arts sects like Immortal Mist Mountain or Songhe Sect, encountering today’s situation, even if the Seven Immortal Swords or Songhe Five Elders acted first without justification, as long as anyone dared to resist and kill one of the Seven or one of the Five, you’d see that those two factions would never let it go, let alone apologize!"
Cheng Fengxiao was also impressed by Guangling Academy today.
’Six Harmonies Fist’ Wang Kuan!
’Lion Roar’ Yuan Shicai!
These Guangling Ten Elders displayed prompt action, fairness, and openness. This incident will not damage the academy’s reputation, but rather attract numerous followers for Guangling Academy.
Anyone who hears this would surely applaud.
"Indeed, no anger!"
Yan Chuan also acknowledged.
Although he wished for Wu Qi’s death, Guangling Academy’s resolution was already very appropriate—
Dismissal!
Exile!
The once high and mighty Ten Elder, in the blink of an eye, was gravely injured, not to mention recovery; even if he survived, his status and power would plummet drastically, bringing about a significant transformation.
This punishment was sufficient.
"Today, everyone only sees the good in Guangling Academy but fails to notice the indifference of the New Faction schools—"
"Wu Qi!"
"Ten Elder!"
"This person holds a high position in Guangling Academy and has many ’Wu Family Boxing’ disciples in the New Faction, yet only Tu Tiannan was determined to avenge him."
"How cold!"
"How heartless!"
Luo Liang, who was struck by Wu Qi and still looked pale, sat down, marveling at Guangling Academy’s enlightenment and equal shock at the New Martial Artists’ indifference.
So rational!
It’s hardly full of warmth.
Cold? Heartless?
Amid the crowd, Shen Mei’s eyebrow exposed a hint of mockery. On the topic of coldness, on the topic of heartlessness, how could the New Faction compare with the Old School?
Take Luo Liang, for example.
He is one of the ’Guangling Ten Tigers,’ extremely reputable, with many disciples before Guangling Academy was established, each respecting and loving him.
But Luo Liang?
Guarding the true teachings of ’Secret Sect Boxing,’ unwilling to pass it on, intent only on providing for his two precious sons, ignoring how excellent or devoted his disciples were.
Is this not cold?
Is this not heartless?
Back then, when Shen Mei learned boxing quickly in the Luo family, under her aunt’s guidance, she mastered Secret Sect Boxing quickly and proficiently.
But with such talent, solely due to her different surname and being a woman, she was considered an outsider, and Luo Liang didn’t even consider passing on the true teachings of ’Secret Sect Boxing.’
Always holding back.
Always dangling.
And intending to pair Shen Mei with his son.
From age eight to twenty.
Twelve years passed.
Shen Mei’s heart grew cold.
Thus, when Guangling Academy was established, she unhesitatingly left the Luo family and joined the New Faction.
On coldness!
On heartlessness!
In Shen Mei’s heart, the many disenheartened brothers and sisters who left the ’Secret Sect Martial Arts Hall’ over the years, they are the ones who have the say.
Luo Liang?
He’s a good son, good father, good husband, but not a good master!
...
Yan Chuan noticed Shen Mei’s change in expression and knew about the conflict between her and Luo Liang.
Such matters are hard to comment on.
But he had to admit, holding knowledge too dear or having sectarian views, indeed represent the biggest drawbacks and cold indifference of Old School martial artists.
Regarding the New Faction schools.
They are not entirely better either.
For instance, Luo Liang’s remark just now reminded Yan Chuan of how last month, at the beginning of the Advanced Study Hall, when Tian Hu brought his disciples, including Lu Qing, to challenge another Martial Arts Hall, Lu Qing and the others treated Tian Hu far from respectfully.
Research students and teachers mutually.
Academy disciples and Ten Elders likewise.
New Faction!
Academy!
It seems—
...
"It’s an individual case."
"Not all academies are as cold as Guangling Academy, nor are all instructors and elders as unpopular as Wu Qi."
Shao Yancong finally found an opportunity, he looked at Yan Chuan, "I, Shao Yancong, humbly serve as Inner Court Elder of Taikang Academy. Master Yan, Guangling Academy may be indifferent, but our Taikang Academy is not like that. Though small, we have strong bonds, harmony between students and teachers, brotherliness and respect. Would you be willing to return with me to Taikang Academy? If willing, as a disciple, I will place you as the first of Taikang Academy, resources stacked in your favor. Should you wish to be an instructor or lecturer, start as a professor, within three years, I will push you to become one of the Ten Elders!"
Becoming a disciple, the first person!
Becoming a professor, a Ten Elder in three years!
Beside him.
Han Yerou was tempted, quickly asking, "I rank in the top forty-four elites at Tianpeng Academy, Elder Shao, if I join your academy, could I become a Ten Elder within three years? If three years is not possible, five years would do!"
Ten Elders!
That is Ten Elders indeed!
In a Martial Arts Academy, the ’Ten Elders’ and ’Ten City Affairs’ jointly manage learning and administration, with Ten Elders leading, and Ten City Affairs assisting.
Ten Elders!
Ten Inner Court Elders!
This is the pinnacle of power and status in a Martial Arts Academy.
Even in a lower-tier academy, Han Yerou felt intensely tempted—
’Ten Elder’ Han Yerou!
To say it, it would be a single word, prestige!
"If Miss Han is willing to join Taikang Academy, I would certainly welcome you tremendously. The position of Inner Court Elder, of course, has hope. Three, five years, ten, eight years, with Miss’s talents, it is bound not to be difficult."
Shao Yancong spun his words deftly yet made no definitive promise.
Clearly.
Compared to Han Yerou, Shao Yancong still wanted Yan Chuan more.
