Those who knew Zhan Ren's identity couldn't help but be shocked. Seeing that he actually took the initiative to run over and greet others, those who were greeted couldn't help but look at him in a different light. One had to know that Zhan Renke hadn't even greeted this Senior Sister from Alkaid Peak who had scared Senior Brother Ji out of his wits!
Therefore, under everyone's gaze, Zhan Ren walked to the group of people from the five academies.
Yan Ge. Some of the newcomers knew about him, but those who did not know him had heard about him for a long time. Lin Tianbiao could be considered an acquaintance of theirs. At this time, he was even more envious of Lin Tianbiao's extraordinariness — the friends he made were people that even the first disciple of Tian Xuan Peak had to take the initiative to greet. Other than Zhuo Qing and a few other newcomers, they did not recognize the other three who were with Yan Ge and Lin Tianbiao.
"Senior Brother Huo Ying." However, the first person Zhan Ren greeted was not Yan Ge or Lin Tianbiao, but Huo Ying.
Huo Ying nodded and did not say anything. The people from the five academies were not there to watch the fun. They were biased towards Lu Ping. At one point, Sun Yingsheng took the initiative to help Lu Ping, but Lu Ping sent him away by pouring him a glass of water. Now that they saw Zhan Ren appear together with Liu Wu, they were all trying to figure out his stance and attitude. As for his greetings, the three of them only responded indifferently.
That was because they were well aware of Zhan Ren's problem. His greeting was completely meaningless. It was just that this guy always liked to do small things to stand out from the crowd. Right now, everyone was waiting for him to preside over this matter, but he had to come and greet him first. Unfortunately, Huo Ying and the others became his tools to show off.
Therefore, Zhan Ren had already turned around and returned to the crowd without even a simple greeting, enjoying everyone's gazes and gazes.
He quite liked this feeling, but Pei Ci didn't seem to notice his presence. She was walking towards Liu Wu. He looked at Pei Ci, and Pei Ci also looked back at him. She stopped and bowed slightly, calling out, "Zhan Ren Shixiong."
Zhan Ren nodded with a smile. Just as he was about to speak, Pei Ci took another step forward, still walking towards Liu Wu.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Zhan Ren's face. He didn't really know Pei Ci, but he had heard a little about the personality and temper of this ice beauty of Alkaid Peak. He thought that with his identity and status, he would be treated differently in front of this ice beauty, but now it seemed that he didn't get any special treatment.
But he didn't act immediately. He just stood there, waiting to see what Pei Ci was going to do.
Liu Wu saw Pei Ci walking towards him, but Liu Wu stood there without saying a word. He felt helpless. He understood Zhan Pei and knew that this guy loved to put on a show. The current stage did not seem to be able to satisfy his desire to perform, so he had to build a more beautiful stage for him.
Hence, Fifth Liu didn't back down. He waited for Pei Ci to walk in front of him and asked, "Is that your technique?"
Others might not have heard it, but Liu Wu immediately understood what Pei Ci was referring to. Now that things had come to this, he did not intend to make any more concessions. After the incident, when he tried to use his connections to smooth things over, he finally obtained an important piece of information.
From the start, Lu Ping, a sensitive person who could affect the relationship between North Style Academy and Black Army Empire, had already fallen into the eyes of the higher-ups of both sides. Directly rejecting Lu Ping outside the North Style Academy's entrance was a method that would not harm the relationship between both sides, nor would it cause any side to lose face.
Unfortunately, Li Yaotian was the host of the newcomer trial this time. If it was him, this kind of matter would not be resolved so smoothly.
Hence, Lu Ping passed the trial. But after entering the academy for a few days, he was sent to the fifth academy.
No power of soul?
Indeed, this was a beautiful excuse. How could a person without power of soul have the qualifications to enter the four great academies?
However, Lu Ping lost his power of soul after entering the academy. The scene of drawing stars into his life after losing his power of soul shocked the entire academy.
In the end, no one investigated this matter. Hence, Lu Ping who had lost his power of soul was sent to the fifth academy.
This was not normal. According to North Style Academy's usual way of doing things, regardless of the situation, the academy would give four years of opportunities. First academy, second academy, third academy, fourth academy, and finally the fifth academy. If it was a student who had already left the northern mountain new academy, they would not be sent to the fifth academy because of this reason.
However, Lu Ping was chased to the fifth academy. Because there were some forces that were pushing for this matter, they did not want such a small character to stir up any trouble. But because Li Yaotian was in the way, they took a detour. As for Zi Mu, he was just an extra so that Lu Ping would not be too eye-catching.
Fifth Liu did not know about these plans, Shen Wuyin and Zhuo Qing would not know about it. Because the higher-ups would not easily reveal this intention. This was North Style Academy secretly giving in to Black Army Empire. If it was announced, where would North Style Academy's face be?
Hence, it could only be understood and not spoken.
Fifth Liu did not understand, Shen Wuyin and Zhuo Qing did not understand either.
Now Fifth Liu understood, but the matter had already reached this stage.
Their actions did not give North Style Academy any face. Hence, if he wanted to return this matter to their tacit understanding, he had to give North Style Academy some face.
After understanding this point, Fifth Liu actually had some confidence in his heart.
Facing Pei Ci's direct question, he nodded his head.
"That's right, it's me." He said loudly. But his words did not stop there.
"A few days ago, my brothers and Lu Ping had some conflicts. Someone stood up for Lu Ping and taught them a lesson."
"Hence, I have to stand up for them."
Fifth Liu said.
"The cause of this matter is because Lu Ping is a wanted criminal of Black Army Empire. Coincidentally, my brothers are students from Black Army Empire. Regarding Lu Ping killing the supervisor of Zhiling Institute and Xiabong Castellan, they could not stand it. It is normal for them to have opinions about him. "
"If it was not because Lu Ping had already entered North Style Academy, I dare to guarantee that he would have a very miserable ending."
"But since he is already a student of North Style Academy, of course he has to follow the rules."
"But young people are impetuous, there was a conflict in the end."
"Since someone stood up for Lu Ping, I naturally have to stand up for my brothers."
"That's right."
After Fifth Liu said this, everyone was stunned. Did he mean that this matter was not done by Black Army Empire?
That's impossible, right?
No one believed him immediately. But Fifth Liu knew that there was a very ingenious point in this: his identity.
His current identity as Fifth Liu had nothing to do with Black Army Empire. Those who knew about his relationship with Black Army Empire would not jump out and say anything at this moment. Hence, this statement would still be true.
After that, even if he was punished, it was not because Black Army Empire did not give face to North Style Academy. Then things would go back to the beginning. North Style Academy would silently kick Lu Ping out and pretend that nothing had happened.
Fifth Liu felt that this result could not be better. Even Pei Ci who was in front of him nodded her head.
"Alright." Pei Ci nodded and said.
"Now, it is my turn to stand up for Lu Ping."
After saying this, she made her move.
