Chapter 50: Factional Rivalry
You're Ling Chen?"
Ling Chen was about to go to morning class, and he was walking on the road, but two people came to him and blocked his way. The two men were dressed in outer courtyard clothes, and although their expressions were serious, their words revealed a faint disdain and contempt.
Ling Chen frowned, he didn't know these two people, but it didn't prevent him from using this to deduce the intentions of the people behind them. It's only been a day, and the troublemakers have already come to the door, and they will have to do it in the future.
"What are the two classmates doing?" Ling Chen greeted the two of them kindly, even if he knew that they were not good, but the necessary etiquette still had to be required, otherwise it would be easy to be tongued and fall into the next place.
"Our boss wants you to take a trip. The man's eyes were fierce, and the provocation in his words was full of charm.
Gangs are explicitly forbidden in the academy, but that's about it. Many small groups are still united by this, and although they are studying, cultivating, and discussing various interests and hobbies on the surface, they themselves know best what they are doing behind the scenes.
Ling Chen looked at the two of them with some surprise, so blatantly promoting this improper relationship, were the two of them really stupid or fearless?
However, Ling Chen didn't panic at all, smiled faintly, and then said, "I'm sorry, I'm about to go to morning class, so I won't go down." After saying that, he jumped over the side of the two of them.
Seeing that Ling Chen wanted to slip away, the two of them intervened to stop them at the same time. But before they could stop Ling Chen, the two of them had already pounced. Ling Chenyun appeared behind them lightly.
Ling Chen had already explored before, and the two of them were not even surrounded by spiritual power, obviously they hadn't even touched the threshold of the Xuantian Three Realms. Ling Chen can play them around with a casual trick, and if he wants to use these two subordinates to invite Ling Chen over, does the person behind this look down on Ling Chen so much?
"Brother Ling is very skilled. A person came out of nowhere, smiling and praising Ling Chen, while clapping his hands and approaching Ling Chen. "It is worthy of defeating Ye Jingxuan, who is known as the first in the outer court, and it really deserves its reputation. β
Ling Chen looked at the person in front of him, and then looked at the two people behind him, his body tensed unconsciously, ready for emergencies at any time. Although it is expressly forbidden in the academy to use spiritual power in places other than the martial arts arena, isn't there such a thing as rules and regulations that are used to destroy? If you want to expect to be beaten in vain and then find the academy to judge, then it is a big mistake.
The man seemed to understand what Ling Chen meant, and waved his hand again and again: "Brother Ling, don't misunderstand, these two students and I are not all the way. β
This man laughs and laughs lightly between his words, and often puts a smile on his face, as if he is cynical. But Ling Chen knew that this person was completely different from the two people before. The spiritual power is full, and the rhythm of one breath and one breath is caused. Carefully felt, it is surrounded by secret light, especially the back spine, echoing with the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and its strength is unfathomable.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce it. The man seemed to come to his senses and patted his forehead.
"In Xia Dou Zi'an, Bingshen Class B and II. Dou Zi'an introduced himself in an extremely formal tone, just to explain one thing: I am your senior.
Introductions like his are basically only used on particularly formal occasions, and now many people don't use them that way, just reporting a name. The class represents the year of graduation, because although the college recruits students every three years, there are still students like Ling Chen who enter the college through channels such as special recruitment every year. Therefore, in order to facilitate the distinction between the elders and the young, there is this kind of thing, after all, there is a lot of confusion in the academy for things like "generation".
Level B and Level 2 are specific status symbols, Level A represents the old students of the Inner Court, Level B and Level 2 represent the old students of the Outer Court, Level C and Level 3 represent the new students of the Inner Court, and Level D and Level 4 represent the new students of the Outer Court. In total, there are only these four levels, so it is very good to distinguish them.
Ling Chen suddenly realized, it turned out that there were already seniors from the outer courtyard eyeing him, and it seemed that these people were really moving quickly. As soon as the two people next to them heard that it was the seniors of the outer courtyard, they immediately became hesitant, and they no longer had the arrogance of bullying before. But they should still have something to rely on, so they didn't leave there.
But no, one of them is still not afraid. With a twist of heart, he suddenly stood up and said, "Ling Chen, if you have the ability, come to the martial arts arena after school this afternoon!"
Ling Chen was stunned for a moment, and his feelings showed that he had come to fight fakes. But what's the deal with this childish provocation? Isn't it child's play? Ling Chen didn't want to participate in this kind of unnutritious and harmful fight, so he instinctively wanted to open his mouth to refuse.
"Heh, how can my junior brother surrender his identity and be a first-class person with you?" Dou Zi'an sneered lightly, and said before Ling Chen.
It was good for Ling Chen to say this in person, but if Dou Zi'an said it, the meaning would be completely different. Now it is clear that Dou Zi'an intentionally threw an olive branch to Ling Chen, and handed it to Ling Chen, forcing Ling Chen to accept it.
But what kind of person this Dou Zi'an is, and what kind of purpose he has, Ling Chen doesn't know anything. But this person is obviously here to break the siege, and it is not good for Ling Chen to categorically refuse with such good intentions. But if he is led by Dou Zi'an like this, it is estimated that he will not know how he will be sold in the end. As the saying goes: "Nothing to be courteous is either a traitor or a thief." β
"Okay, I've got someone to back you up. You wait for me!" Putting down the cruel words, the two of them planned to leave.
"Wait a minute. β
At the same time, Ling Chen's voice coincided with a female voice. The large crowd of onlookers here was quite surprised, could there be any other twist in this matter?
"What are the people watching here? It's morning class time soon, so let's disperse. The woman shouted loudly. The willow eyebrows are upside down, like an angry kitten.
Ling Chen saw the angry appearance of the person who came, but he couldn't help but laugh. This woman is Shen Ayaka, and I don't know why she suddenly came here. And looking at her like this, she is in charge of this matter today. I don't know what means she will use to dissuade this group of people? Ling Chen will wait and see.
He didn't greet Shen Ayaka for the first time, because Shen Ayaka also seemed to pretend not to know him. Maybe it was business, so Ling Chen didn't go to dismantle her stage.
"Inspectorβ" There was a lot of talk in the crowd, and then someone gradually left, and the crowd of onlookers began to dissipate.
"Inspector?" Ling Chen was puzzled for a while, only then did he notice that Shen Ayaxiang's right arm was equipped with an armband, on which was the logo of the Eastern Saint Academy, and there were a few leaves below, which seemed to be embellished, anyway, Ling Chen had never seen it before.
Seeing Shen Ayaka coming here, the two of them were already a little scared and cowered. Anyway, the cruel words have been released, and their task is completed. At this time, there is such a good opportunity to get off the donkey, and these two people are not in a hurry to slip away.
Dou Zi'an obviously didn't expect Shen Ayaka to come here to intervene. Although he didn't know Shen Ayaka, he knew the Overseer. So although such a good opportunity was ruined by her today, he was not annoyed. He was very well cultivated, and he did not show any displeasure, and he was still smiling.
"Brother Ling, then we'll see you another day. Dou Zi'an didn't explain anything to Shen Ayaxiang, but said hello to Ling Chen and left.
In a matter of moments, the large crowd of people gathered here left. Ling Chen didn't expect that Shen Ayaka would still have such a means, and today he could be regarded as seeing a different Shen Ayaka. Maybe his impression of her has changed, after all, Ling Chen only thought that Shen Ayaka was just a girl who loved cultivation and exercise.
"Are you alright?" Shen Ayaka walked towards Ling Chen, and the anger on her face dissipated a lot.
"It's fine. Ling Chen shook his head slowly, looking at Shen Ayaka with a hint of a smile.
"Look at what!" Shen Ayaka was a little displeased, her eyes rolled, and she returned to her previous appearance.
"Oh, sorry. Ling Chen hurriedly came back to his senses and quickly apologized. "Thank you just now, help me out of the siege. β
Shen Ayaxiang's expression eased a lot at this time, but she still didn't give Ling Chen a good look.
"You're a celebrity in the academy now, so you naturally have to be careful what you say and do. Otherwise, I wouldn't have that much time to come out and protect you. Shen Ayaka snorted lightly.
Ling Chen smiled helplessly, and understood what Shen Ayaka meant, this was to ask Ling Chen to give some benefits.
"Then I'll treat you to dinner. "I practice with Shen Ayaka every morning, although there is not much communication each time, but they are still close to each other, and they can be regarded as good friends. So Ling Chen is very casual.
Shen Ayaka rolled her eyes and stopped joking with Ling Chen.
"The most worrying problem still arises, some people want to use your name to establish power, and some people want to recruit you. Just through such a group of people, it is just to convey this meaning. Shen Ayaka said.
"It's good that you didn't rush to make a statement just now, otherwise it would be easy to offend both sides. β
Ling Chen knew the implicit meaning of this, and if he went, he would refuse Dou Zi'an's kindness, but it would make it easier for the other part of the people to start, and Dou Zi'an might also become an enemy because of this. If you don't go, it means that you have acquiesced to Dou Zi'an's help, which is considered to have joined them. The relationship between them is really a dilemma.
"You'd better not join this faction. After all, joining means being on the record, and it is easy to leave a stain on the road in the future. Some gangs even join a ticket to the Peace Alliance, but this bundled benefit also means that your whole life will become a pawn in the open and secret battles within the faction-ridden alliance. In fact, the current gang is the same, the water is very deep, if you have your own ideas, yearning for a free life, then it is better to think about it. Shen Ayaka made it clear to Ling Chen.
Ling Chen didn't expect that there were so many hidden things in this. It is no wonder that some people have commented that the academy is actually a microcosm of the whole world, and there are still all kinds of filth in the corners that we can't see. It's just that if you don't have access to him, you won't know the secrets.
"So I have to go?" Ling Chen asked knowingly.
"They won't do anything to you if you go. Besides, your strength is so strong, it's impossible to say who will be beaten. If they bully more and less, I'll help you. Shen Ayaka said with a smile.
Ling Chen looked at the girl in front of him, her expression was bright, sunny and full of justice. I know a lot of secrets that no one knows, but I still remain kind. I can't feel the flow of spiritual power on the surface of her body, so I shouldn't have reached the Xuantian Three Realms. But the help she said, Ling Chen didn't feel a trace of fakeness.
It's funny.
"Then I'll have to treat you to another meal. Ling Chen also said with a smile.
"Still not. β
