Chapter 159: Different People, Different Reactions
“Grandpa!”
“Heh, my dear Trina, Grandpa is really happy to see you!”
Xio opened her arms and hugged the girl who ran over tightly. She picked her up and spun her around twice, causing the girl to laugh happily.
His most beloved granddaughter came to his house with his daughter as a guest today, causing Xio to be overjoyed. Even her white beard could not help but flutter.
“Grandpa, can you bring me to see Chu Nan?” As soon as Trina landed, she immediately asked happily.
“Oh, my dear Trina, although I know you want to see Chu Nan immediately, you can’t do it now. This is because you and Mom have just gotten off the spaceship. At the very least, you have to eat and rest before thinking about this.”
“Alright,” Trina replied obediently. She turned around and helped a beautiful noble woman walking behind her pick up the box in her hand. “Mom, let’s go eat.”
After saying that, he pulled the box hard and ran into the room.
Xio and his daughter smiled at each other, shook their heads, and followed behind.
As soon as he walked into the hall, he saw Trina holding a box and standing on the spot in a daze. She was staring at the huge virtual screen in the living room.
“Trina, what are you looking at?” Xio asked curiously.
“Grandpa, look, it’s Chu Nan!” Trina pointed at the virtual screen and shouted excitedly.
“Chu Nan?” Xio looked at the virtual screen in surprise and discovered that it was the program of the Federation’s Information Martial Arts World Channel.
However, on this program that mainly broadcasted news related to martial arts in the federation, what appeared was actually Chu Nan’s familiar smile that he had seen a few days ago.
“According to Chu Nan’s latest statement, he will…”
Xio heard the host’s announcement and saw that the next segment was clearly a personal statement recording that Chu Nan had recorded. She could not help but reveal a surprised expression.
“This kid… is actually so bold!”
…
In the morning of Sigma City, it was close to dusk in West Cloud City.
After the students of the West Cloud Academy finished their day’s lessons, they all came to the academy’s cafeteria and began to enjoy the beautiful dinner.
There were also a few huge virtual screens hanging in the large dining hall. Ordinarily, these virtual screens would broadcast political or entertainment news at different times, allowing the students to understand some of the current events that happened in the federation while eating.
Under normal circumstances, not many students would pay attention to what was broadcast on these virtual screens, because even if they wanted to see something, they would mostly resolve it through their personal terminals. Therefore, most of the time, these virtual screens were only decorations.
However, today, almost all the students stopped eating and looked up at the virtual screen.
All the virtual screens were broadcasting the same program. It was the news program of the Federation’s Information Martial Arts World Channel.
At this moment, the face that appeared on the program was the familiar face of almost all the students in West Cloud Academy.
Chu Nan.
This ordinary student who was previously unknown in West Cloud Academy had suddenly become famous because of a West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition.
Other citizens of the federation might forget him after nearly four months, but the students of the West Cloud Academy would never forget him.
Even though Chu Nan had already taken leave from West Cloud Academy and returned home, his profile was still hanging in the honor room of the West Cloud Academy’s martial arts branch, clearly marking the results he had obtained in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition.
However, now, when they saw Chu Nan appear on the Martial Arts World Channel and heard the statement he personally made in the homemade recording, all the students, including those who were not from the Martial Arts Branch, and all the teachers present were shocked.
Was Chu Nan crazy?
…
It was afternoon on the North Gazing Planet.
A young disciple in his early twenties rushed into the martial arts room of the Mu Sect while panting. He pushed open the door and attracted the gazes of the group of third-generation disciples in the martial arts room who were focused on listening to the class. It also made Zheng Yuanlin, who was talking about the Dao of Internal Breath circulation, stop his class and turn around.
“M… Teacher… something… happened…” This disciple panted as he came to Zheng Yuanlin.
Zheng Yuanlin frowned, “Calm down and adjust your breathing. Don’t panic. What happened to make your reaction so great?”
This disciple was called Wang Si, and he was one of Zheng Yuanlin’s personal disciples. He was considered to be relatively outstanding in the third generation of the Mu Sect, and because he was usually obedient, he was deeply loved by Zheng Yuanlin.
Seeing him like this, Zheng Yuanlin was a little unhappy.
Hearing his teacher’s instructions, Wang Si took a deep breath. His Internal Breath circulated in his body for a few weeks and quickly calmed down.
Zheng Yuanlin nodded. “Tell me, what’s the matter?”
“Yes…” Wang Si opened his mouth. He could not explain this matter in a short period of time. He opened his personal terminal and hurriedly displayed the recording on the virtual screen of the public terminal in the martial arts room.
Chu Nan’s face appeared on the virtual screen.
“I hereby declare…”
The disciples watched for a while before their faces actually revealed furious expressions.
“This is what Grandmaster gave him. How can he deal with it so casually?!”
“That’s right! What right does he have to do this? He’s too bold!”
“Teacher, he’s clearly not taking our Mu Sect seriously! Please give the order immediately. I’ll go to the Purple Cloud Planet and teach him a lesson!”
…
The disciples all looked indignant. On the other hand, Zheng Yuanlin looked at Chu Nan on the virtual screen with a calm expression and even a faint smile.
Hearing the disciples’ shouts, he retracted his gaze and swept his gaze across the disciples.
“What? You think he’s not qualified to do this?”
Wang Si grunted and said, “Of course! This is something Grandmaster gave him. What qualifications does he have to do this? He’s simply not taking Grandmaster seriously! It’s simply a slap on our face!”
The other disciples echoed.
“No, you’re wrong.” Zheng Yuanlin smiled and shook his head, “Since Teacher gave it to him, it’s his. It’s his business how he wants to deal with it. No one else has the right to criticize him.”
The disciples were stunned.
“Teacher, you mean…”
“I’ve already made it very clear.” Zheng Yuanlin waved his hand. “Continue the lecture. Wang Si, you interrupted the lecture for no reason. Go face the wall for three days as a punishment.”
The disciples were stunned again.
Not only was his teacher not angry because of Chu Nan’s actions, he even punished Senior Brother Wang. Why?
However, although Zheng Yuanlin’s expression was calm, the disciples did not dare to ask again.
Wang Si could only lower his head in confusion. He nodded and left dejectedly.
Zheng Yuanlin turned around and glanced at Chu Nan who was frozen on the virtual screen. He sighed in his mind.
‘Teacher, you have done something wrong this time.’
…
Although the banquet was filled with beauties and famous people, and the decorations were abnormally gorgeous, no matter how one looked at it, it was a place that only the top could come from. Any participant would feel honored.
However, Dong Fang was very impatient.
He had never liked such an occasion since he was young, and he did not like it now either.
If not for the fact that he had already decided to accept the arrangements at home, he would not have appeared here.
In his opinion, it was much better to stay at home and play Martial Soul than waste time here.
Although Rose and Luo Lan’s appearance could not compare to the many celebrity-level beauties present, chatting with them and talking nonsense was much better than facing these women’s hypocritical solicitations.
When he thought of Rose and Luo Lan, Dong Fang naturally thought of Chu Nan.
Previously, Chu Nan had asked him to bid farewell to Rose and Luo Lan in the game, but he had forgotten.
These few days, he had been busy with all kinds of things. He did not even have the time to go to Martial Soul, let alone contact Rose and Luo Lan. In the end, this matter had actually been dragged on.
“Speaking of which, what’s Chu Nan doing?”
He did as he thought. Dong Fang opened his personal terminal and planned to send a message to Chu Nan. While greeting him, he could also ask about his current situation.
If the people sent over still could not properly protect Chu Nan and his family, Dong Fang planned to send more people.
As soon as he opened his personal terminal, a keyword notification popped up.
Dong Fang was stunned.
Previously, after the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition, in order to collect reports related to Chu Nan and choose some for him to see, Dong Fang specially set up a news notification with “Chu Nan” as a keyword.
However, this setting had not appeared for a long time because Chu Nan had been lying in the hospital for a few months.
Why did he suddenly jump out today?
Dong Fang opened this news in confusion and saw Chu Nan’s familiar face.
He frowned and clicked on the news.
After a while, an unbridled laughter sounded in the banquet hall, instantly attracting the gazes of all the guests around.
The guests looked in the direction of the laughter and were puzzled.
What was wrong with this young master of the Dong family?
“Haha… This kid is really lucky to have thought of this method. Well done!”
Dong Fang completely ignored the others’ gazes and laughed wildly.
