Chapter 132: Settling Back
“All of you, enough!” Sheng Haoran yelled out as he intervened in the scuffle between his friend and Long Yi.
His attempt at defusing the situation had temporarily succeeded, as all parties were stunned into silence. His companions were dumbfounded as they wondered why he had intervened. Long Yi was rational enough to know he had no malicious intentions, thus allowing him to redirect his charge.
All parties waited on Sheng Haoran’s next words with bated breath.
“We’re all from the same organization. There’s no need for this, especially when we’re right outside the Head Councilman’s office.”
“Haoran, you should know better than to group us together with these buffoons,” the older disciple among them replied. “While their achievement is commendable, even if it was due to luck, they should still share the techniques they learned with more talented cultivators like us.”
“Senior Bei, you may be misunderstanding something here. These three didn’t—”
Sheng Haoran took a moment to look back at the trio. It was obvious he was hesitant, but that changed the moment he breathed in deeply and composed himself. With a determined look in his eyes, he turned back to his companions.
“I’m not afraid to admit these three had a better showing than me within the pocket realm. Their learning ability is above me. They even tutored the geniuses from not only the Bloodwave Conclave, but the Eternal Wave Sect and Nightmoon Valley as well.”
“What?!” yelps of surprise filled the hallway.
All the cultivators who hadn’t entered the pocket realm were shocked. That couldn’t be helped, as the people Sheng Haoran mentioned felt just too out of reach for most of them. They were like celebrities who they only heard rumors of.
It seems Sheng Haoran has been keeping tabs on us while in the pocket realm. I’m starting to feel guilty for sabotaging him now…
“You mean Tang Yulian and Sima Xue?”
