284: You lowly people

I wonder how Zhuang Sanming is doing now... Sigh, even though Tao Erbao was arranged by Xiong Mao to be by Zhuang Sanming's side, after spending so much time together, he actually really liked Zhuang Sanming as a boss.

It's just a pity... "Look, look! Is that the person we're waiting for flying over?"

Someone was the first to notice, and everyone immediately looked up at the sky.

Then the crowd immediately erupted.

"Wow, it really is!"

"Is that a flying tool? It's my first time seeing one."

"I heard they all came from 97th Stronghold; their mode of transportation might be more advanced than ours."

"Our Wall also has flying tools! It's just that they flew away this morning, and you didn't see them."

"Then did you see them?"

"I didn't see them either."

"...Then what the heck are you talking about?"

Above the city gate tower, Chu Yun, Principal Liu, and the Director of the Beast Taming Bureau were all waiting there, personally welcoming the three exchange students who had traveled all the way from 97th Stronghold.

At the same time, they were also wondering if Gu Mingzhu and the others had arrived at 97th Stronghold? What was the environment like there? Could they get used to it?

A mother worries when her child travels far; though they were not mothers, they couldn't help but worry.

"I wonder if they've arrived. The customs and traditions there should be different from ours, right? Sigh, to be gone for so long, it's really..."

The Director of the Beast Taming Bureau sighed. Wang Yi hadn't been to such a distant place since joining the Beast Taming Bureau. Now that he had gone to 97th Stronghold, their Beast Taming Bureau could no longer protect him.

"Now that they've gone, there's no point in saying anything more."

"Yes."

Compared to the City Lord and the Director of the Beast Taming Bureau, Principal Liu was much quieter.

Originally, he was somewhat disappointed that his son, Liu Chen, hadn't stood out in the martial arts competition to become one of the top three. But now, looking at the City Lord and the Director of the Beast Taming Bureau, he felt a little fortunate that Liu Chen hadn't made it into the top three.

Otherwise, he would be another old man worrying himself to death.

However, Liu Chen himself was very dissatisfied with this result, so on the day the competition ended, he locked himself in the training ground, practicing tirelessly from morning till night, constantly seeking people to spar with.

Xiang Ping was beaten black and blue by him yesterday and had to continue taking a beating today.

No choice, what could he do when Liu Chen was his boss?

In the air.

"So this is 155 Fortress? The city gate tower does look much more dilapidated than ours."

Shang Hua stood at the very front of the flying tool. Seeing that they were about to land and observing the city Walls of 155 Fortress, he snorted and said.

"A Wall with such a late number, its city Walls are naturally not as sturdy as ours. I wonder if they even have the delicacies I usually like to eat here. It's truly disappointing."

Sun Jinchuan was also very dissatisfied with 155 Fortress. If it weren't for family requirements, he wouldn't have been willing to come.

"It's alright, Brother Shang. Anyway, the City Lord said we only need to stay here for three months before we can go back. At most, it's just like coming out for some experience, and we have enough spirit stones, so we can do whatever we want."

Ling Dongliang quickly echoed.

After hearing his words, Shang Hua's expression improved slightly: "Mm."

For three months, no matter how much they disliked 155 Fortress, they had to stay there for the full three months.

Besides, they came with a mission...

Above the city gate tower, Chu Yun said to the guard behind him: "Pass on my order: open the city gate and welcome the exchange students."

"Yes!"

The guard quickly went to inform the soldiers responsible for opening the city gate.

"Boom—"

The enormous city gate opened, and at this moment, the flying tool Shang Hua and the others were on just happened to land.

Both sides of the gate were crowded with people. Not only were there people outside waiting to see what the exchange students looked like, but there were also people inside the city gate, standing scattered on both sides, not blocking the way.

They all curiously craned their necks to see what differences there might be between the exchange students from 97th Stronghold and the people here.

Actually, there was no difference; they were all humans, not strangely shaped. It was just that they had more cultivation resources there, so their martial artist ranks were higher.

Shang Hua and the two others disembarked from the flying tool. Seeing so many people gathered on both sides, their brows couldn't help but furrow.

"155 Fortress is truly undisciplined, allowing so many lower-class people to gather here to stare at us. How unlucky."

Ling Dongliang subconsciously raised his hand to cover his nose, as if the people around him would emit some foul odor.

His voice was not at all quiet; many people standing on both sides outside the city gate heard him.

Liu Ling'er clenched her fists, about to rush out to argue with them, but Zheng Jinfeng quickly pulled her back and whispered: "What are you doing?"

"They're going too far! Just because they're from one of the top 100 strongholds, why do they get to say we're all lower-class people?"

Liu Ling'er was naturally hot-headed. Now that Ling Dongliang was calling them all lower-class people to her face, and looking utterly disgusted, of course, she couldn't hold back.

Zheng Jinfeng was also very angry, but they couldn't act here.

"Bear with it for now. They are exchange students from that side. If they get hurt here, Miss Mingzhu and the others might also..."

Zheng Jinfeng's words were well-considered. She was just more composed than Liu Ling'er; it didn't mean she wasn't angry.

Who wouldn't be angry at being called lower-class?

Unless one was born wanting to be a servant.

Thinking of Gu Mingzhu and Wang Yi, Liu Ling'er finally loosened her hand.

Yes... exchange students, in a way, were also hostages sent to the other side.

"Alright, hurry up and go in. Don't waste time." Shang Hua didn't have time to care whether the people around were angry because of what Ling Dongliang said. He was already very tired from the journey and just wanted to rest quickly.

"Yes, Brother Shang is right."

Ling Dongliang, who had just been acting like an upper-class person, was now bowing and scraping to Shang Hua, not daring to refute a single word.

How could he not be the "lower-class person" he spoke of himself?

Born wanting to be a servant, that must be him.

The three of them arrived at the city gate together. By this time, Chu Yun and the others had already come out and were standing in the middle of the city gate.

"City Lord."

Although Shang Hua and the others looked down on 155 Fortress, since they were already on someone else's territory, they still had to show proper courtesy, so they all obediently called out "City Lord."

"The three of you must be tired from your long journey, right? I have already sent someone to prepare your accommodations." Chu Yun nodded slightly and said.

His tone was very calm, and his expression didn't even change much, but no one could ignore the authoritative aura of a superior emanating from him.

Shang Hua only felt that the City Lord of 155 Fortress gave him a feeling even more awe-inspiring than his own clan leader... PS: Ah ah ah ah ah (っ╥╯﹏╰╥c) Crying, the case is solved, brothers, the two people who tipped me earlier were my dad and my mom!!
