C420 The Tide of the Situation Had Changed
Under Duanqianyue's questioning, the freshman told him everything about Lee Zhuohua. From the first enlightenment in Freshmen Trial to what had happened in the Transportation Hall, he did not hide anything and told him everything.
When Duanqianyue listened to the freshman describe what Lee Zhuohua had done, the expression on his face changed from admiration to an unknown color.
To be honest, Duanqianyue was very impressed by what Lee Zhuohua had done, because what Lee Zhuohua had done was something that he was unable to do when he was still a new student. This made him, who also came from Yan, very curious about his fellow countrymen and wanted to make friends with him.
However, when the new students mentioned the matters within the Transportation Hall, even Duanqianyue did not expect Lee Zhuohua to be so bold as to humiliate the older students of the Outer Palace in such a manner.
However, unlike the other older students, Duanqianyue was not as angry after hearing these things. It was not that he felt that the friendship between fellow countrymen could make him forgive Lee Zhuohua.
However, in his opinion, he had already broken away from the scope of an older student. The people whom Lee Zhuohua had humiliated did not include him. Even some of the thoughts in his heart were the same as Lee Zhuohua's.
That was why he did not join the Yuan Alliance back then. Even now, he was still a lone ranger without any organization.
Speaking of which, Duanqianyue was a person who was extremely proud in his bones. Like his younger brother, he was also an extremely arrogant person. In his eyes, those senior students who could not enter the Inner Palace were no different from trash.
Therefore, he could not be associated with the Yuan Alliance. Among the older students, other than a few of them, only Xu Daolin could make him treat him seriously. He would never care about the others, so he felt that Lee Zhuohua was very suitable for his taste.
"This person is interesting, but he is also an extremely talented person. If he had entered Freshmen Trial with me earlier, I think that I would have become friends with him. But now that I have entered the academy with him, it is not bad. In the future, when his strength increases, I will also have dealings with him." Duanqianyue thought in his heart. He did not dislike Lee Zhuohua's actions in the Transportation Hall.
But the surrounding people did not know what Duanqianyue was really thinking. After all, he was also an older student, and all of the older students were mocked by Lee Zhuohua's words in the Transportation Hall.
Therefore, no one felt that Duanqianyue would have a good impression of Lee Zhuohua. When the older students saw Duanqianyue's appearance, they thought that he had a grudge against Lee Zhuohua as well. They were secretly happy in their hearts.
As for the freshmen, they felt that Lee Zhuohua's life in the Outer Palace was going to be difficult. Amongst the crowd, there were also people from the Lake Gate. Although they trusted Lee Zhuohua very much, when they knew about Duan Qianyue's background, they also started to worry faintly.
Duan Qianyue waved his hand to dismiss the new student. He did not speak anymore, but looked around.
After the new student left, the huge rock in his heart finally relaxed. Facing Duanqianyue was truly a terrible experience.
Duanqianyue glanced at the surrounding people, and everyone's expressions entered his eyes. He did not say anything else as he walked around these people and left.
"Looks like the Outer Palace has also divided their opinions of Lee Zhuohua into two types while I was absent. The older students are naturally more disgusted with him. It's fine if the new students don't say anything. In that case, it won't be good for me to express my attitude." Duanqianyue thought as he walked.
After he found out about Lee Zhuohua's matter, he knew that he could not easily show his attitude towards Lee Zhuohua. If he was disgusted with Lee Zhuohua, there would probably be more people looking for trouble with him.
And if he expressed his appreciation, it would also attract Xu Daolin's attention.
Neither of these outcomes was what he wanted to see; therefore, he could only look at them and not express them. This could also be considered as a protection for Lee Zhuohua and the other freshmen.
When the surrounding people saw that Duanqianyue had left alone, they did not follow him any further. However, they were also trying to guess what Duanqianyue was thinking.
Some people felt that Duanqianyue, as an older student, would definitely be dissatisfied with Lee Zhuohua, and in the future, he would definitely find trouble with him. Those who had such thoughts were basically older students, and they couldn't wait for Duanqianyue, the great god, to personally suppress Lee Zhuohua in order to vent the hatred in their hearts.
And some of them were keenly aware of what Lee Zhuohua was thinking.
However, they could only guess and not know the truth. Therefore, no one knew what kind of attitude Duanqianyue had towards Lee Zhuohua.
The news of Duan Qianyue's return had naturally spread across the entire Outer Palace. The new students might not know what this meant, but the older students were secretly looking forward to it.
There were two leading disciples among the older students. One was Xu Daolin from the Yuan Alliance, and the other was Duanqianyue. Although these two leading disciples did not have any conflicts, everyone knew that there could only be one strongest person in the Outer Palace.
And it just so happened that the Outer Palace's disciple competition was about to begin. At that time, there would definitely be a fierce battle, and it would be clear who would be the strongest person in the Outer Palace.
......
During the period of time when Duan Qianyue returned, the Yuan Alliance seemed to have completely quieted down. They no longer tried to suppress Lee Zhuohua's Lake Gate, but no one felt that the Yuan Alliance had suddenly changed its mind. Everyone knew that the Yuan Alliance was afraid of Duan Qianyue.
The disciples' competition was drawing near, and they didn't dare to provoke this god at this time.
And after that, Duanqianyue didn't go to the Law Enforcement Hall to look for Duanqiancheng. When he found out that his little brother had also come to the Qian Yuan Academy, he was overjoyed and no longer had any other thoughts. Perhaps it was because he didn't want to cause trouble for Duanqiancheng, or perhaps it was because of the Yuan Alliance, but in short, he did not reveal the fact that Duanqiancheng was his younger brother.
After he returned to his residence, he also entered Xu Daolin's seclusion. It seemed that he was also preparing for the disciple competition.
Duanqianyue had too many things to absorb after returning from his mission. For someone like him to take so long to return from a mission, the difficulty of the mission was obvious. It would definitely be another difficult battle.
The Yuan Alliance became silent, and Duan Qianyue did not disturb the Outer Palace. He was meditating in seclusion, and Lee Zhuohua's Lake Gate was also secretly accumulating its strength at this time, so that it would not be too weak to deal with the Yuan Alliance later.
Under Lee Zhuohua's lead, the overall strength of the Lake Gate had a qualitative increase. For example, Lin Qi and Monarch Zhu had both broken through to the Middle Period of Astral Reaching Stage.
Even though the two of them had not yet formed the Three Flowers, or even planted a single seed, with their current level of cultivation, they were no longer weak against ordinary older students.
After Lee Zhuohua finished settling the matters of the Lake Gate, he also entered closed door cultivation.
The entire Outer Palace seemed to have calmed down, but anyone with a discerning eye would be able to notice that ever since Lee Zhuohua, a new disciple, entered the academy, the division of the Outer Palace's forces had also changed noticeably.
In the past, there was only a difference between the Yuan Alliance and the Hall disciples.
But now, the Outer Palace's forces had become Lake Gate, Yuan Alliance, Hall Disciples, and the neutral disciples represented by Duan Qianyue. There were four forces.
Out of the four forces, the Lake Gate was the weakest, while the Yuan Alliance was the strongest.
Although the palace disciples and the neutral disciples were somewhat special, they were still mainly senior students.
The Lake Gate, which was originally in a state of disunity, slowly began to condense after Lee Zhuohua joined. Although the older students of the Outer Palace were more averse to new students, no one dared to look down on these rookies who had just entered the Outer Palace.
All of this was because of a person, a person who was extremely arrogant in the hearts of the older students, and that person was Lee Zhuohua.
