Chapter 391: Chapter 350: Little Junior Brother... Broke Through Again?
Every eye in the room turned toward the conference room door.
The first person to enter was Meng Die.
"Elder He, the outsiders have arrived!"
The moment she spoke, a flash of anger lit up the eyes of everyone else in the conference room.
They had all been waiting here for almost an hour.
And now, these outsiders were finally sauntering in.
Old He’s expression darkened as well, his face devoid of any trace of a smile.
Just as Meng Die returned to her seat,
A blond-haired man led the way in.
Several other outsiders filed into the conference room behind him.
They all wore slight smiles.
The blond man at the head of the group smiled and said, "My sincerest apologies. We were held up by a few things. Sorry to have kept you all waiting."
When he finished, a slight smile touched Old He’s grim face.
"Not at all. We just arrived ourselves."
"The agreed-upon time is in two minutes, so you’ve arrived just in the nick of time."
"Another two minutes, and you might have missed us entirely."
Old He’s words were polite on the surface,
but their underlying meaning was perfectly clear.
If they hadn’t shown up by the appointed time,
Old He wouldn’t have waited a single second longer. He would have simply taken his people and left.
The blond man was taken aback for a moment, then quickly broke into a smile.
"Yes, yes, you’re right. It was our mistake this time for not arriving sooner."
"In that case, shall we... get started?"
When the blond man finished, Lei Hu, who had been sitting quietly, shot him a look over his shoulder.
"You’re the ones who initiated this Martial Arts exchange. We don’t even know what it entails yet. How can we start? Start what? You need to make things clear, don’t you?"
Lei Hu was a blunt man and didn’t believe in beating around the bush.
His words immediately drew murmurs of agreement from the others.
Ever since these outsiders arrived, they had been acting as if they owned the place.
They were acting like the hosts, while the school representatives gathered in the room
felt more like guests who had traveled a great distance to be here.
Old He remained seated, not moving a muscle, his eyes fixed on the group of outsiders.
Just then, the representative from the Sakura Alliance stepped forward.
With a broad smile, he said, "Allow me to explain. The format for this Martial Arts exchange is quite simple. We’ve already outlined a few..."
"Hold on."
Before the representative could finish his sentence,
Zhong Yan, who was sitting nearby, cut him off.
"Excuse me, which alliance are you representing? You people from the Outer Alliances have some nerve, don’t you?"
"You come to someone else’s home as a guest, don’t even bother to introduce yourselves, and then you start laying down the rules?"
"Don’t you think you’re overstepping a bit, acting like you own the place?"
Zhong Yan usually came across as flippant and carefree.
But when it came to matters of principle, his stance was always crystal clear.
At his words, the foreign representatives all exchanged a look.
"Yes, yes, you’re right. How rude of me. I am the representative of the Sakura Alliance, the vice-principal of Divine Martial University. My name is Miyamoto Hondo Ichirō. It’s a pleasure to meet you."
"Divine Martial University? What an arrogant name."
The university’s name was immediately met with derision.
The one who had scoffed was Chen Song, the chancellor of Divine Fist University.
However, the members of the Outer Alliances didn’t seem angered by Chen Song’s remark.
Instead, they simply went on to introduce themselves one by one.
"I am Svensson, representing the Eagle Alliance and Divine Eagle University."
"Bowen, from Holy Light University, representing the Sunset Alliance."
"I’m Gusier, the representative from the Maple Alliance and Holy Knight University."
"I come from the Asia Alliance, representing Divine Tiger University. My name is Song Rentou."
After they had all introduced themselves,
the university representatives present could all see the arrogance in their eyes.
Especially Song Rentou from the Asia Alliance, who was practically looking down his nose at them.
Faced with such attitudes,
Old He chuckled. "Since you are the representatives of the Outer Alliances, then we at the Hua Wu General cannot be impolite either."
"We have also prepared a few items for this Martial Arts exchange."
"The main focus is, of course, the martial arts exchange. That was the Outer Alliances’ idea, after all."
"In addition to that, we can also hold exchanges on medicine, talismans, and pill refinement. These are all topics worthy of discussion."
"What do you all think?"
When Old He finished speaking, the members of the Outer Alliances all exchanged glances.
Just as Svensson, the representative from the Eagle Alliance, was about to say something,
Old He cut in directly, "Excellent! Then it’s decided."
"I hope this Martial Arts exchange of ours concludes on a pleasant note."
"Now, everyone, shall we head out?"
Giving them no chance to object, Old He stood up.
The other university representatives followed suit, all heading for the door.
From Professor Shi Wenxue of Lanshan to Zhong Yan of Dragon Tiger Mountain,
smiles spread across their faces.
’Exchanges in medicine, pill refinement, and talismans.’
’Aren’t those the very subjects Lanshan University and Dragon Tiger Mountain University excelled at?’
’Especially the fields of talismans and pill refinement.’
’If Dragon Tiger Mountain claimed to be second, who would dare claim first?’
’Moreover, Lanshan University’s medical research was world-renowned.’
’Many famous physicians were, in fact, graduates of Lanshan University.’
’In these two fields of exchange alone, the Outer Alliances had no advantage whatsoever.’
However, after a brief flicker of anger,
they quickly calmed down.
