Bam!

  "What?! What did you say?" Gu Yan smmed the table as he stood up, his expression very displeased and angry. "City Lord... infuriated Master Nie Li?! Why the hell did you let something like that happen, Director Yang?"

  His outbreak was justified. Jason's talent was thtening and his knowledge so deep but it was a boon for both the Alchemist Association and Glory City, not a bane. He was a godsend opportunity for them. With the danger of demos' attack all over the years and their strengths insuffit, Jason would be able to ge the situation. Not only that but there reme Master behind Jason who would have lent a hand in times of crisis for the sake of their retionship with his disciple.

  "I apologize. But everything happened so fast that I didn't even have time to intervene." Yang Xin sighed, her voice carried sadness.

  Gu Yan caressed his beard, his eyes serious. "I'm going to apologize to Master Nie Li and try to persuade him ter. It's a good thing that I asked someoo follow him before and find the inn where he is staying."

  "I'll e with you too." Yang Xin also followed behind anxiously.

  The duo had just walked out and saw two more people outside.

  "Bru Yan, if yoing to meet young master Nie Li. Let me join too." Principal Ye Kai said. After getting the news, he immediately sat off, saving the scolding of Ye Zong for ter.

  Gu Yan nodded ahe way...

  Not long after, they arrived at the inn, directly in front of his room without disturbing anyone.

  "Since you're here then e inside." Before they could knock, Jason's calm voice drifted from inside.

  Gu Yan opehe door and walked ih everyone.

  "Master Nie Li, this old man..." Gu Yan cupped his hand and wao speak.

  But Jason waved his hand, cutting him off. "o apologize, President Gu Yan. You don't have anything to do with what happened so why feel bad? It's just a shame that this retionship is so short-lived, ending so soon."

  "Little brother, please don't say that." Yang Xin shook her hand, saying quickly.

  "Haha... Big sis Yang Xin, it's alright. It's my mistake for showing off too much. I should have been more careful and stayed hidden. Maybe then I would have been able to stay at the Glory City. It's my haste and greed which attracts the suspi of the City Lord and everyoomorrow, I'll return to my master. If fate allows, let's meet again iure. I just hope that after I'm gone, my parents will not get implicated." Jason said, his voice carrying sadness and a sense of loneliness.

  Gu Yan and Yang Xin's expression fell, turning heavy. They had realized that he had already made his decision.

  Ye Kai stepped forward, speaking. "Young Master Nie Li, allow this old man to apologize in pce of that brat Ye Zong. I hope young master Nie Li will not take the previous io heart and stays at the Glory City."

  "For hundreds of years, the city has been fag the danger of extin because of the demo's horde. The danger is very big with no solution in sight resulting in the dee of talent. After Ye Mo, no one was able to reach Legend rank. It caused Ye Zong to be cautious. But with your arrival, the situation be ged. If you had stayed hidden, then it would be our loss. But you decided to show yourself, appearing like a savior. It's a mistake on our part to suspect you. I just hope you fet about the i and start anew, letting us make it up to you. I'll ask that brat Ye Zong to apologize to you personally."

  "No need, Principal Ye Kai." Jason shook his head.

  Hearing it caused his expression to turn heavy too thinking that they had seriously offended him with no room to iate.

  "He is the City Lord, carrying the safety of everyone on his shoulder. How he make a gamble with the lives of thousands of is so easily? If I were in his pce, I might have made the same decision. I'm leaving because I didn't want to cause any trouble for others."

  Ye Kai's eyes fshed with surprise, and he cupped his hand. "Young Master is still you mature beyond his years, it makes this old man ashamed."

  "Haha, Principal must be joking. I still have a long way to go." Jason smiled.

  Bam!

  At this moment, the gate ened and anroup of people arrived.

  "Huh? Elder Gu Yan, Teacher Ye Kai, and Director Yang Xin, you're here too."

  Looking ahead, they saw Ye Zong, Ye Shuo, Ye Ziyun, and Xue Yin walking inside.

  "You little brat sure had grown wings. Dare to make a move against Young Master Nie Li without even inf me. Do you know how much effort I put into inviting him to bee a teacher at the Institute?" Ye Kai immediately sprung into a as if pnned beforehand, yelling at Ye Zong.

  Ye Zong like a young child stood in his pce with his head down.

  Jason just shook his head with a smile, looking at the funny se in front of him.

  "Apologize to Young Master Nie Li right this instant."

  "I..." Ye Zong seemed to be having some trouble. With his status, how could he apologize to anyone, especially a junior?

  Jason smiled and waved his hand. "No need for that. He is still the City Lord. Being suspicious of a genius that appeared out of nowhere, even I'll suspect him."

  Ye Shuo stepped forward, saying solemnly. "It's as young master Nie Li said. I've carefully read all the information dozens of times. You have a soul realm, your soul force was 78 two years ago. Even if you've heaven-defying talent it was still impossible for you to reach Bck gold rank in just two years. Well, I still think that it was because of your esteemed master but still it feels impossible."

  "And what if I faked my result?" Jason cocked an eyebrow.

  "I sider it too. But how it possible for others to not feel any ge in you?" Ye Shuo followed.

  "I uand your point. But I have a few secrets of mine which I 't tell and it's best if you don't pry into it further. Every retionship, however absurd reat, needs a certain sense of trust. Lack of it lead to misuandings just like between us. I've no i in harming ylory City. I'm just a little more knowledgable than others that's all, not a spy or anything of the sort." Jason chuckled.

  Ye Zong nodded his head, his face serious. "Indeed. It's a mistake on our part. And we'll do everything in our power to make up for it."

  "If I were you then I'll have let my as do the talking than just mere words."

  "Do you not believe in the words of the City Lord?" Xue Yin asked.
