Moments later, as the Giant Lizard fell, the battle finally came to an end. One of the team members, a Blond Man wielding a long weapon, lifted his head and glanced at Su Chen on the hillside. Clearly, while he was observing the battle below, the other side had also noticed him.
"Who’s peeking? If you don’t reveal your identity, don’t blame me for being ruthless!" the Blond Man scoffed coldly.
However, at that moment, Ye Rou intervened beside him. "Don’t make a move; they are Outer Court disciples."
Then Ye Rou turned to Su Chen and asked, "Junior Brother Su, what are you doing in the Fallen God Mountain Range?"
Her eyes were filled with confusion. As far as she knew, Su Chen had only just completed the National College Entrance Examination a little over a month ago, and at that time, his cultivation level was barely adequate. To venture into the Fallen God Mountain Range at such a low level was akin to seeking death.
As for Su Chen's subsequent victory in the Monthly Exam and his promotion to the Inner Academy, she was unaware since she hadn’t been following those events. After all, competition for resources in the Inner Academy was far more intense than in the Outer Court; no one had the leisure to pay attention to the Outer Court.
Most people only knew of one expert from the Outer Court—Wang Hailong—who likely dominated the last Monthly Exam and secured his place in the Inner Academy.
"We came here hoping to return to the capital but encountered an accident while passing through the Fallen God Mountain Range and accidentally fell here," Su Chen explained.
Upon hearing this, Ye Rou immediately responded, "Our team has been training here during the summer; we were also planning to return to the academy. Since that’s the case, I’ll take you back with me."
As she spoke, she summoned a large flying gourd. This gourd could comfortably seat three people, inviting Su Chen and Jiang Wanyue to join her.
"Thank you for your help, Senior Sister." Although he possessed a Moonlight Talisman, traveling on foot would still be too slow with Jiang Wanyue. Having a Grandmaster actively flying them back on a Rare Treasure would undoubtedly save them a lot of time.
However, at that moment, the Blond Man let out a cold snort, his tone laced with disdain. "Outer Court? Hmph! Bringing such trash back with us will only lower our status!"
His voice was icy and merciless, his gaze towards Su Chen filled with contempt and annoyance. It seemed that his identity as an Inner Academy disciple gave him a sense of superiority. Especially after discovering that Su Chen's cultivation level was only at a certain rank, he wore an expression of utter disdain.
Such trash wasn’t even worth a glance from him under normal circumstances!
"How dare you speak to him like that?"
"Shut up!"
Su Chen's gaze flickered, revealing a hint of coldness in his eyes. If he didn't want to take him, he could simply say so, yet the other party chose to insult him instead. Su Chen was not someone who would tolerate such disrespect; his words were merely a warning. If the insults continued, he wouldn't hesitate to take action.
Upon sensing the chill in Su Chen's eyes, the Blond Man couldn't help but feel a jolt of fear. That gaze was terrifying, reminiscent of an awakened ancient beast, instilling dread in those who met it. However, considering the disparity in their cultivation levels, he regained his confidence. How dare a mere low-level waste speak to me like this?
"Enough! Wang Lin, you will apologize to Su Chen right now!" Ye Rou exclaimed angrily.
After all, they were part of the same sect, and it was her own Rare Treasure that was at stake. It didn't affect them in any way; if they were unwilling, they could simply return home without belittling the Outer Court disciples because of their status.
"Me? You'd rather favor a piece of trash than stand by your own? Apologize to him? He doesn't deserve it!" Wang Lin's eye twitched as his face turned red with anger, clearly infuriated by the situation.
