Chapter 198 (1/2)

When everyone saw the two people striding towards them, they were all stunned. It wasn't only the bright red banner that shook people's eyes, but also the two youngsters who were swimming upstream.

If the trend was that no one wished for the Academy to appear in the ranks of the Autumn Ceremony, then their rebellious att.i.tude was extremely shocking.

Nie Qing walked in front, wearing the academy's black uniform. On his back was tied a black short rod with a heavy metallic l.u.s.ter. It looked to be about a meter long and as thick as a wrist.

In addition, there was a long saber in the style of the Great Yan Army hanging there.

Holding the banner in both hands, he strode forward with his head held high.

Behind Nie Qing, An Zhe, who was also dressed in black, appeared to have matured quite a bit.

He had a longbow tied to his back. Those who were familiar with the military would recognize that bow. It was the Iron Pear Wood from the Cliff that General Ying Yang w.a.n.g Kaitai of the military needed two strong men to carry the weapon.

An arrow shaker hung by his waist, and the Fine Steel Feathered Arrows in the shaker were packed to the brim.

Following behind Nie Qing, his pace wasn't that big, nor did it seem urgent. However, he still maintained that distance with Nie Qing, appearing very calm.

””That is … the team from the Martial Arts Academy that is partic.i.p.ating in the Autumn Ceremony?””

The crowd sighed, ””Speaking of which, even if those officials from the Military Department decided to rebel against the country, what does that have to do with the students from the Martial Arts Academy?””

However, the world was cold. Most people chose to leave the Martial Arts Academy. Now, only the two of them were representing the Martial Arts Academy.

””In my opinion, this is overestimating oneself.””

What else could the two of them do?

I might as well stay home, or be a spectator like us.

””This also brought me to the podium, there's no turning back.””

””That's right!””

I think the two of them just want to show off. ””

An elder beside him shouted, ””Shut up!””

Why are youngsters nowadays so dirty?

Putting aside the military affairs, just the two of them were famous throughout the city.

Do you dare to rely on this limelight and the wind and waves above? ””

The young man who spoke earlier snorted disdainfully, ””That's stupid.””

The old man sneered, ””I really don't understand. A group of people who are inferior to others yet are pointing fingers at others from behind their backs, what qualifications do you have?””

Face to face, do you dare say that?

Do you have the talent to cultivate, or do you have the courage to do so?

Or should it be more accurate to say that all of you are hidden cultivators?

””Before we start discussing other people, let's see if we have the ability to do so!””

The young man's face turned red, ””What's wrong, you are not allowed to say what you have made?””

I just looked at them to show off. ””

The old man said, ””That's why you have been doing nothing your whole life. You will never be able to reach their level.””

The young man opened his mouth, but he was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He could only glare at the old man.

When the young ladies who had been screaming at the young Taoist in the direction of the Taoist temple saw the two young men striding towards them, they felt inexplicably excited and admiration for them.

Perhaps the two of them were more manly than those who looked prettier in the makeup.

The crowd discussed animatedly, but no one dared to applaud.

Everyone clearly knew what kind of embarra.s.sing position the Martial Arts Academy was in right now. It was indeed admirable for An Zhan and Nie Qing to have the courage to step forward.

However, there were quite a few people who had the same thoughts as that young man. They felt that An Zhe and Nie Qing were idiots and idiots that were destroying their futures.

Empress Dowager Su stood atop the south gate's tower and watched the two dazzling figures walk over, her heart filled with unhappiness.

””I can't believe it.””

She said in a low voice, Yan w.a.n.g Mu and Changyan, who were standing beside her, responded, ””I didn't think of it either.””

The two didn't expect that it would be completely different.

Chen Zaiyan and the others, who had been escorted to the bottom of the south gate and taken care of, actually started crying when they saw the two people from the Martial Arts Academy coming over.

””It's actually … just the two of them.””

””There are people, but most of them don't dare to straighten their backs.””

Chen Zaiyan sighed, ””The two of them forced themselves to a dead end.””

Everyone sighed with emotion, completely forgetting about their current situation.

However, ever since Nie Qing and An Zaiyue pa.s.sed by, there were no longer any cheers from the team that partic.i.p.ated in the Autumn Ceremony.

Everyone had a strange feeling in their hearts. No matter how strong the team was, everyone felt that it was far less shocking than those two people.

The group stopped at the designated place. The larger sects had specially built pavilions for resting, while the smaller sects could only stand.

Regardless of the current situation of the Martial Arts Academy, after all, it was one of the top three academies in Fang Zhucheng. However, when Nie Qing and An Xuan arrived, they discovered that no one had reserved a place for the academy.

No one thought that the Martial Arts Academy would send people to partic.i.p.ate. After all, the name of the academy was already dead.

Nie Qing and An Xuan glanced at each other, then walked over to the official in charge of maintaining order.

””Sir, why is there no place for us in the Martial Arts Academy?””

The official glanced at An Zeng. ””Martial Arts Academy?””

””What kind of place is the Martial Arts Academy?””

An Xuan looked at the list in his hands. ””Could it be that the Martial Arts Academy is not on the Lord's list?””

The official said with his nose up towards the sky, ””Oh … you're talking about that martial inst.i.tution.””

There was a Martial Arts Academy on the register, but none of the people in the academy mentioned their names to partic.i.p.ate in the fall ceremony, so it was deemed to have given up on its own.
