CHAPTER 1541 CONFUSED
How was this possible?
Under such circumstances, the competition was very stiff, and things got more intense when one could see others become better than yourself. Even someone as old as the Sima clan elder felt that he would have been jealous.
But he saw that besides the tinge of envy in the other students' eyes, they weren't too bothered by this and just went right back to what they were doing earlier.
This atmosphere and behavior really confused him. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
"This DonghaL.is really a very different sort of place.”
The Sima clan elder frowned.
He didn't say anything and didn't disturb the other students, and just left the room.
He went back to the room and saw that the other elders had also come back from going round the place.
It was clear that everyone's expression was a little grim, but also a little surprised and confused.
It was clear that everything they had seen and heard made them view Donghai and Extreme Martial Arts Academy very differently now, and they were getting more and more curious about Jiang Ning as a person.
"What did all of you see?" the Sima clan elder couldn't help but ask after hesitating for a while.
"And what did YOU see?” the Huangfu clan elder paused and asked the Sima clan elder in response. "Sima Quan, you tell me first. What did you see?"
"I saw how backward and selfish the reclusive clans really are," said Sima Quan slowly after a short period of silence. He pursed his lips.
His gaze was rather complex and he turned to look at the other clan elders. "What about all of you?"
Nobody said anything.
"The reclusive clans were high and mighty, a class above the martial arts circle and were in pursuit of a higher calling and universe," Sima Quan suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly. "I suddenly feel like I'm such a joke. All these so called reclusive clans are such a joke."
He shook his head and just walked right into his own room and closed the door behind him.
Everyone else exchanged equally complicated glances.
Their minds were filled with the images of how every student in the academy were united and helped each other. They all supported one another for the same aim.
They walked out of the practicing arena and saw how the members of the illegal circle who should have been groveling at the bottom of society were so well respected and loved by the city folk.
They even saw how everyone living in this city looked peaceful, and everyone was clearly living in bliss and security here.
They thought about their own clans, about how they could kill even their own siblings for the sake of power and position, how they could sacrifice everything for the sake of gaining more for themselves...
It felt like a comparison between a civilization and a barbaric world. The difference was painfully obvious.
How could they say that they were a class above others? They were just greedy for more, and pursued greater things to satisfy their growing greed. They were just good at hiding all of this away.
How did Jiang Ning create such a city?
And what sort of person was Jiang Ning exactly?
They were both curious and confused...
Meanwhile.
Back at the Sima clan.
Sima Ru sat in the main hall with a darkened expression on his face. His hands were on the armrest and he was about to crush the wooden armrest with his bare hands.
"Master Sima, my master wants me to tell you that Fang Wei, the head of the Fang clan has really returned but didn't tell anybody else about it. If Mr Hongshan didn't discover this, I have no idea how long all of you would be kept in the dark!"
"The eight reclusive clans combined forces and couldn't even make a dent in Donghai? And they've been imprisoned?!" Sima Ru slammed a palm on the table and roared, "Is there anything more embarrassing than this?!"
"What about the other clans?" His voice was filled with fury and murder.
"I suppose they haven't heard anything yet. I came to the Sima clan first," said Fang Hongshan's subordinate.
Fang Hongshan had always been close to the Sima family, and he would let them
know first when he had any information on hand.
They never thought that the coalition of the reclusive clans would fail.
