Chapter 644 Apex Academy
“Master, why didn’t you mention seeking revenge against Mr. Xiao just now?” Supporting his master as they walked outside the meeting room, Luo Qian couldn’t help but ask.
“Revenge?” Qin Zhenhuan smiled wryly. “It’s not the right time yet.”
Seeing that his master didn’t seem to care about this matter at all, Luo Qian gritted his teeth and said, “Nie Jiuchong, that scoundrel, wanted to take your life to show his power. Fortunately, you are skilled enough to escape unharmed. Otherwise, our North Club would have lost its backbone. This enmity is unforgivable.”
“Don’t worry, we must trust Mr. Xiao. He will surely provide us with an explanation,” Qin Zhenhuan said with confidence, patting his disciple’s shoulder.
Having been seriously injured by Nie Jiuchong last time at Northleap, this matter would not end there. Xiao Shun would surely make a big deal out of it if he wanted the other members not to lose heart, demanding an explanation from the Old School Society.
At the same time, Song Linger, who was still in the meeting room, walked over to Xiao Shun.
She asked, “Master, when do you plan to take action against Mr. Qin?”
Xiao Shun smiled faintly. “Hehe, when I go to Cliffside, I will make the Old School Society pay a price. Nie Jiuchong has deployed heavily guarded forces there. Since he hurt one of my generals first, I will make sure he faces a battlefield full of injured soldiers at Cliffside.”
“Isn’t this a bit hasty?” Song Linger looked at him worriedly.
“I don’t want to engage in a full-fledged conflict with the Old School Society right now. But if we don’t take action, how will the rest of the members view us? The enemy has already crossed the line. Are we just going to endure it?” Xiao Shun said helplessly.
Song Linger fell silent, knowing that there was no turning back now. This matter would inevitably become the catalyst for conflicts between the two sides.
But soon, she understood and accepted it. After all, her master’s actions at the Hero Cup had already made their stance clear. This accelerated pace was only due to Qin Zhenhuan’s injury.
The busy day went by.
The morning of that day was clear and sunny in Harrow.
Around ten in the morning, Song Qingzhou led a group of children into the school. The once quiet campus was now filled with laughter and joy.
Seeing her father, who walked confidently towards her, Song Linger called out softly, “Dad.”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Song Qingzhou smiled and took his daughter’s hand, asking with concern, “Haha, Linger, have you been slacking off lately? Have you made progress in your cultivation?”
Unable to help herself, Song Linger rolled her eyes at her father. “Even Master has praised my talent countless times. It’s you who always underestimates me!”
Despite Song Qingzhou’s usual stern demeanor, he had no intimidating effect on his daughter. He chuckled, “I’m just concerned about you, you know.”
After a warm exchange, they began registering over three thousand children.
These children were generally between six and ten years old, all recruited by Song Qingzhou from various places in the country. They were all strong and robust, indicating their potential in martial arts.
After settling these children, Principal Xiao Shun arrived a little late.
It was not intentional laziness on Xiao Shun’s part but rather the overwhelming tasks that kept him occupied.
Seeing him arrive, Song Linger couldn’t help but ask, “Master, where did you go slacking off this time?”
Song Qingzhou couldn’t help but chuckle to himself at his daughter’s audacity to scold her master, Xiao Shun.
Xiao Shun nodded knowingly at Song Qingzhou’s playful expression before explaining to Song Linger, “Hehe, I was discussing matters regarding Pellet Pavilion with Mr. Ning earlier and lost track of time.”
Realizing that he was occupied with legitimate matters, Song Linger didn’t press the issue any further.
She led Xiao Shun to the dining table and gently said, “Hurry up and eat. There are many things to do in the afternoon.”
Xiao Shun didn’t hesitate to pick up his chopsticks and eat eagerly.
After lunch, Song Linger, together with a few voluntary members of the New School Society, went to attend to the students’ accommodation, keeping themselves extremely busy.
Meanwhile, Xiao Shun and Song Qingzhou were in the office, drinking tea.
“I never thought this plan would actually come to fruition one day,” Song Qingzhou murmured, looking out the window at the several teaching buildings and feeling a mix of emotions.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun smiled. “Your contribution played a significant role as well.”
Shaking his head, Song Qingzhou redirected his gaze back to Xiao Shun, saying mildly, “I merely added decoration. It’s you who always stands at the forefront.”
Xiao Shun explained, “If you hadn’t represented the military to deter Gu Baiyi last time, I might not even be here now. It’s because of your help that I can move forward more confidently.”
Hearing this, Song Qingzhou chuckled to himself, appreciating Xiao Shun’s gentle yet resolute demeanor.
Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, “By the way, have you named the school?”
Xiao Shun was taken aback, realizing that he had forgotten to think about naming the school.
But seeing Song Qingzhou ask, he knew the other party had a suggestion in mind, so he asked, “Do you have any ideas?”
“Hehe, the school stands at the foot of Apex Peak, and cultivators have always aspired to rise above the ordinary. Why not name it Apex?” Song Qingzhou smiled as he shared his idea.
“Apex Academy,” Xiao Shun muttered a few times and then smiled happily. “What a great name!”
And so, in an office, the two of them decided on the name that would resonate for generations to come, shaping the legacy of the school as Apex.
Next, Song Qingzhou and Xiao Shun discussed the New School Society’s future development and the ongoing conflict with the Old School Society.
Naturally, Xiao Shun explained everything candidly.
Unlike Song Linger, Song Qingzhou highly approved of Xiao Shun seeking revenge for Qin Zhenhuan. He understood Xiao Shun’s actions and analyzed them.
“I agree with your approach! If you don’t set an example by seeking justice for Qin Zhenhuan, it’s hard for the rest of the New School Society members to trust you. Since we’re already at odds with the Old School Society, there’s no need to tolerate everything. Through such conflicts, we can showcase our strength and determination.”
“I did think the same way at the time, but Linger seems to have trouble understanding,” Xiao Shun shook his head wryly.
Song Qingzhou nodded, explaining, “I know Linger’s temperament leans towards gentleness. She naturally wouldn’t approve of your impulsive behavior, but she means well.”
Aware of Song Linger’s perspective, Xiao Shun didn’t worry too much. Whatever decision he made, she would support him all the way.
