Chapter 255: Chapter 122: Taking the Stand, Sentencing Chapter 255: Chapter 122: Taking the Stand, Sentencing Xu Mo, after visiting Mia, returned to continue his cultivation in peace, essentially in seclusion, either practicing Source Power or sparring with his teacher in mecha.
Of course, from time to time, there would be a heart-to-heart with an Alien.
As for everything in the outside world, Xu Mo seemed utterly unconcerned.
In fact, it was meaningless to be concerned; he was unable to change everything outside, only able to change himself and prepare a way out.
Steel Dome City was in turmoil.

The Academy Faction erupted.
The Eight Extraordinary Colleges celebrated one after another.
Nanming Academy was especially jubilant.
The acting Dean of Nanming Academy, father of the Nanming Goddess, elected as the Mayor of Steel Dome City—now those people wouldn’t be able to mess with the Academy Faction.
Xu Mo’s estate.
Leng Qiu arrived first thing to say, “Nan Mingyuan has been elected mayor.”
Xu Mo, who was practicing mecha with his teacher, felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
All of this was like a scripted drama.
“Elected, huh.” The Old War God stepped out of the mecha and said to Xu Mo, “No more practice.”
“Okay,” Xu Mo nodded and followed the Old Dean as he walked forward.
“Teacher, Xu Mo, aren’t you…” Leng Qiu looked at the two, aren’t they supposed to be happy?
“Just wait.”
The Old Dean sat down on the chair.
Xu Mo suspected Nan Mingyuan.
If Xu Mo’s suspicions were correct, then he believed that Nan Mingyuan would come here first.
Soon, Steel Dome City’s media reported that the new mayor, Nan Mingyuan, was on a flying device heading in the direction of Noah Academy, presumably to visit the Old Dean.
It seemed the situation was settled.
Members of the Academy Faction heaved a sigh of relief, and some even sent messages of sympathy to the Old Dean.
In the courtyard, the Old Dean and Xu Mo quietly waited.
Not much later, someone approached from outside.
“Nan Mingyuan has come to visit the Old Dean,” a voice announced, and then Nan Mingyuan entered from outside, walking up to the Old Dean.
Xu Mo observed Nan Mingyuan; there seemed to be some changes in him compared to before.
Dean Tantai also noticed and said with a smile, “You look more spirited, brimming with sharpness that you didn’t possess before.”
How fast people change.
“The Old Dean jests,” Nan Mingyuan said.
“How have you been these past few days?”
“Alright, have a seat,” the Old Dean said as if greeting an old friend, and Nan Mingyuan, without any pretense, sat across from him.
“Father has been missing you,” Nan Mingyuan said.
“After all these years as friends,” the Elder remarked, “it’s just that the old guy has always been too confident, little did he know, the son has already made his mark, even surpassing him.”
“The Old Dean jests,” Nan Mingyuan replied.
“Are you from the Li family?” the Old Dean suddenly asked.
The atmosphere instantly tensed, and Leng Qiu, who was beside them, was stunned.
What did the teacher imply?
Nan Mingyuan was also taken aback, looking up at the Old Dean, he shook his head and said, “My surname is Nanming, how could I be from the Li family?”
The Old Dean stared into Nan Mingyuan’s eyes and then nodded, asking, “Are you part of the Academy Faction then?”
“Of course.”
Nan Mingyuan answered without hesitation, “I will always represent the interests of the Academy Faction and will not undermine its foundation.”
“What about the Li family?” the Old Dean inquired.
“Mutual needs,” Nan Mingyuan replied.
“Steel Dome City has suffered from internal strife for too long, it needs to be unified.
Moreover, Steel Dome City does not need warlords, the military should absolutely submit to the City Government, only a unified city can reach greater heights.”
“By saying this, it seems like the Academy Faction was wrong before,” the Old Dean commented as if mocking himself, “Does the old fellow know?”
Nan Mingyuan shook his head, “Father will understand me, can the Old Dean understand?”
“Whether I understand or not, does it make any difference?” the Old Dean asked.
“Steel Dome City can’t withstand a civil war; nobody in Noah Academy will be harmed.
I, Nan Mingyuan, will continue to represent the interests of Extraordinary Colleges,” Nan Mingyuan declared.
“It seems I really have become old,” the Elder sighed, “go back.”
Nan Mingyuan stood up, bowed respectfully to the Old Dean, then turned to Xu Mo and said, “Xu Mo, for the exchange visit coming up with Capital College, I can send you to learn in the Capital.”
Xu Mo looked up at Nan Mingyuan and uttered two words, “Thank you.”
It was somewhat stiff.
Nan Mingyuan didn’t mind and turned to leave.
“The times have changed, it’s the next generation’s world now,” the Elder mused.
“I don’t trust schemers,” Xu Mo spoke up.
The answer to the assassination he encountered at Nanming Academy had come out.
The investigation led nowhere because Nan Mingyuan was the mastermind behind it, and all the evidence gathered was in his own hands.
Furthermore, the assassin had once been his student.
A cold-blooded and ruthless schemer who even kept his own biological father in the dark for so many years.
