The news that Qinchuan was going to fight one against two and that he was going to join forces with Bluepool and Yang Yue quickly spread on the school's intranet. Many freshmen and seniors who heard the news gathered at the school's martial arts field, looking forward to this battle.
On the way to the martial arts field, Long Xiao looked at Qinchuan with a guilty gaze and said, "Sorry, I couldn't support your decision just now."
"After all, you have a family backing you. I can understand that you have to think about your family's reputation."
Qinchuan smiled and said, "Do you not understand why I want you to bow your heads and apologize to the seniors? Why do you have to do such a shameful thing?"
Long Xiao remained silent. In fact, it wasn't just Long Xiao who didn't understand Qinchuan's decision. The others also didn't understand why Qinchuan would do such a thing.
Faced with everyone's silence, Qinchuan pursed his lips and said, "I think all of you must have investigated my background and understood me. I was born in the slums and am a child of a poor family. It wasn't easy for me to get to where I am today. Therefore, I understand a principle very well, and that is to not underestimate anyone.
In my opinion, the feud between you and Wang Xian is ultimately just a battle of words. You didn't bow your heads and admit your mistakes, saving your face. But what did you lose?
You lost the opportunity to complete missions, you lost credits, you lost the possibility of becoming stronger, and you lost time! "
"Do you think that because of this insignificant battle of words, you can't integrate into the seniors' group and can't effectively obtain credits and cultivation resources? Is it really worth it?"
"There are only nine of us official students. If we only rely on the rewards from solo missions and medium missions to strengthen ourselves, isn't it a little too slow? Before the auditing students among the new students grow up and can help us, don't tell me that we can only watch those large scale missions with rich rewards slip away from our eyes and do nothing about it?"
"Now that we want to participate in large-scale missions, we have to join forces with the older students. You have a grudge with Wang Xian, and Wang Xian represents the older students. Even if he can only represent a portion of the older students, it is enough to make it difficult for you to move forward among the older students. As the children of aristocratic families, even if you don't rely on the school, the progress of your cultivation will not be delayed. But what about the commoners?
Hearing Qinchuan's words, everyone couldn't help but look at Bai Yuu. Among the official students, only Qinchuan and Bai Yuu were commoners. Now that they thought about it, Qinchuan's decision to apologize was probably out of consideration for Bai Yuu.
"But in the end, he's just an auditing student."
Some people were still unconvinced and muttered in a low voice.
"Wang Xian is indeed a auditing student, but when we have a conflict with Wang Xian, Wang Xian no longer represents himself, but the entire senior student group.
Just now, in the Mission Hall, there were many seniors, but did you see any seniors willing to step forward to resolve the grudge between us and Wang Xian?
No, they were all watching the show, waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves.
Our stubbornness and pride that refused to bow our heads were worthless in their eyes! "
"Here, only strength and benefits are the most important!"
As Qinchuan's voice fell, no one stood up to refute Qinchuan, and no one felt unconvinced. They were not children and could understand the meaning behind Qinchuan's words. They could also understand why Qinchuan made such a choice.
Long Xiao looked at Qinchuan with a slightly complicated expression and said in a low voice, "Since I was young, others have always addressed me as the Long family's daughter of the first wife, and I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this title. But today, I realized that everything I have today was given to me by the Long family. If I didn't have the Long family to rely on, perhaps I might not have today's achievements."
"The Long family's daughter of the first wife is their respect for the Long family, not their respect for me!"
"You don't have to belittle yourself."
Qinchuan chuckled and said, "There's no way to control something like birth. As long as you keep working hard, I believe that sooner or later, the Long family will be proud of you. At that time, you won't be the Long family's daughter of the first wife, but Long Xiao."
"Thank you."
Long Xiao sincerely thanked Qinchuan. Today's conversation might have a great impact on her future. She was really grateful that Qinchuan was willing to talk to her about this.
"After listening to Boss's words, I feel that I'm still too young. If I were to switch places with Boss, who knows where I would be fooling around."
Chen Changxing sighed with emotion, "I really don't know how Boss relied on himself to walk step by step."
Hearing Chen Changxing's words, everyone was curious about Qinchuan's past. They had the support of their families, received the best education since they were young, and used the best cultivation resources to reach where they were today. But Qinchuan was alone, relying on his own strength to reach where he was today, standing at a higher place than them. They were really curious about how Qinchuan did it.
Qinchuan grinned and said, "To sum it up, there are six words: bold, careful, and thick-skinned!"
"Boss, that's seven words!"
… ….
After chatting and laughing for a while, there were no longer any barriers between them. Their relationship had become much closer than before. When they arrived at the martial arts arena together, the other people who were already there saw Qin Chuan and the others chatting and laughing, and they all felt a little surprised.
Earlier in the mission hall, there was clearly a barrier between these official students and Qinchuan. Qinchuan appeared to be out of place among the new students and was very stiff. But after such a short while, how come they were suddenly chatting and laughing in harmony?
The seniors couldn't understand, and neither could Bluepool and Yang Yue.
"Have these people's heads been kicked by a donkey?"
Yang Yue frowned fiercely. "Qinchuan is a commoner, while we are descendants of aristocratic families. The difference between our statuses is like heaven and earth. I've already reminded them just now, so why are they still willing to walk so close to Qinchuan?"
What right did a fellow who had no pride and lowered his head to admit his mistakes have to be mentioned in the same breath as aristocratic family geniuses like them?
"Hmph, no matter what methods Qinchuan used to gain these people's recognition, in the face of absolute strength, it's useless!"
Bluepool stared at Qinchuan with a dark gaze and said in a deep voice, "Just now, uncle gave me something. With this, even if Qinchuan is very capable, he'll definitely be defeated by us!"
Yang Yue's eyes lit up when he heard this. Previously, he was still worried whether the two of them would lose to Qinchuan if they joined forces. But now that Bluepool had received his uncle's help, everything was different!
