Chapter 76 Sorry, I despise! (4/5)_1
"Uncle, what’s wrong?" the aristocratic Chen Mo asked, walking towards his uncle, clearly confused.
Chen Xuan, an elder of the Chen family, immediately pulled the aristocratic Chen Mo aside and started whispering to him.
However, it was clear that the aristocratic Chen Mo still tried to argue back a few times.
Finally, he was apparently scolded so harshly that he couldn’t retort, and could only nod his head obediently, like a chicken pecking at rice.
As he turned to leave, he was too embarrassed to look at the other Chen Mo and simply slunk back to the group of disciples from the aristocratic families.
Only after his uncle had walked away did he look at Chen Mo and clasp his hands in apology.
Chen Mo smiled and waved his hand, signaling that it was no big deal.
He had clearly heard Chen Xuan’s reprimand to the other Chen Mo. It was obvious that these aristocratic families, even those aligned with the Academy Alliance, harbored deep-seated exclusionary views. Their alliance with the Academy Alliance was merely a means to leverage its power and strengthen their own foundations. Deep down, they held a natural arrogance about their aristocratic status.
Even if the aristocratic Chen Mo argued vehemently, it would be futile. If he dared to continue, he’d be thrown into the monster-grinding instance and locked up for a week. The mere thought of the monotony and treacherous nature of the monster-grinding instance made the aristocratic Chen Mo hold his tongue. People had died of exhaustion in there before. Despite this, using the monster-grinding instance as punishment for family disciples had never ceased.
"Fatty Chen, don’t look so down," Zhao Wuming said, patting the aristocratic Chen Mo’s shoulder. "Listening to Uncle Xuan isn’t wrong. That two-star professional isn’t one of us. We disciples of the aristocratic families must stick together!"
