Xu Mo, after visiting Mia, returned to continue his cultivation in peace, essentially in seclusion, either practicing Source Power or sparring with his teacher in cha.
Of course, from ti to ti, there would be a heart-to-heart with an Alien.
As for everything in the outside world, Xu Mo seed utterly unconcerned.
In fact, it was aningless to be concerned; he was unable to change everything outside, only able to change himself and prepare a way out.
Steel Do City was in turmoil.
The election storm was fierce, but, Nan Mingyuan had the full support of the Academy Faction within the governnt.
In public opinion, Nan Mingyuan also had a trendous advantage.
It seed as though the mayorship of Steel Do City was already in Nan Mingyuan’s pocket.
In light of this, countless people were looking forward to it, especially the Academy Faction and the citizens who supported the Old Dean, they were all anticipating Nan Mingyuan’s ascent to power, to thoroughly investigate Shen Han, and to give the Old Dean an explanation.
Under the spotlight, the day finally arrived.
That day, Nan Mingyuan, along with his team, set up shop in the Steel Do City Governnt.
And announced that he would investigate the matters of Shen Han and Dean Tantai as swiftly as possible, to give the people of Steel Do City an explanation.
Countless people cheered!
The Academy Faction erupted.
The Eight Extraordinary Colleges celebrated one after another.
Nanming Academy was especially jubilant.
The acting Dean of Nanming Academy, father of the Nanming Goddess, elected as the Mayor of Steel Do City—now those people wouldn’t be able to ss with the Academy Faction.
Xu Mo’s estate.
Leng Qiu arrived first thing to say, "Nan Mingyuan has been elected mayor."
Xu Mo, who was practicing cha with his teacher, felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
All of this was like a scripted drama.
"Elected, huh." The Old War God stepped out of the cha and said to Xu Mo, "No more practice."
"Okay," Xu Mo nodded and followed the Old Dean as he walked forward.
"Teacher, Xu Mo, aren’t you..." Leng Qiu looked at the two, aren’t they supposed to be happy?
"Just wait."
The Old Dean sat down on the chair.
Xu Mo suspected Nan Mingyuan.
If Xu Mo’s suspicions were correct, then he believed that Nan Mingyuan would co here first.
Soon, Steel Do City’s dia reported that the new mayor, Nan Mingyuan, was on a flying device heading in the direction of Noah Academy, presumably to visit the Old Dean.
It seed the situation was settled.
mbers of the Academy Faction heaved a sigh of relief, and so even sent ssages of sympathy to the Old Dean.
In the courtyard, the Old Dean and Xu Mo quietly waited.
Not much later, soone approached from outside.
"Nan Mingyuan has co to visit the Old Dean," a voice announced, and then Nan Mingyuan entered from outside, walking up to the Old Dean.
Xu Mo observed Nan Mingyuan; there seed to be so changes in him compared to before.
Dean Tantai also noticed and said with a smile, "You look more spirited, brimming with sharpness that you didn’t possess before."
How fast people change.
"The Old Dean jests," Nan Mingyuan said. "How have you been these past few days?"
"Alright, have a seat," the Old Dean said as if greeting an old friend, and Nan Mingyuan, without any pretense, sat across from him.
"Father has been missing you," Nan Mingyuan said.
"After all these years as friends," the Elder remarked, "it’s just that the old guy has always been too confident, little did he know, the son has already made his mark, even surpassing him."
"The Old Dean jests," Nan Mingyuan replied.
"Are you from the Li family?" the Old Dean suddenly asked.
The atmosphere instantly tensed, and Leng Qiu, who was beside them, was stunned. What did the teacher imply?
Nan Mingyuan was also taken aback, looking up at the Old Dean, he shook his head and said, "My surna is Nanming, how could I be from the Li family?"
The Old Dean stared into Nan Mingyuan’s eyes and then nodded, asking, "Are you part of the Academy Faction then?"
"Of course."
Nan Mingyuan answered without hesitation, "I will always represent the interests of the Academy Faction and will not undermine its foundation."
"What about the Li family?" the Old Dean inquired.
"Mutual needs," Nan Mingyuan replied. "Steel Do City has suffered from internal strife for too long, it needs to be unified. Moreover, Steel Do City does not need warlords, the military should absolutely submit to the City Governnt, only a unified city can reach greater heights."
"By saying this, it seems like the Academy Faction was wrong before," the Old Dean comnted as if mocking himself, "Does the old fellow know?"
Nan Mingyuan shook his head, "Father will understand , can the Old Dean understand?"
"Whether I understand or not, does it make any difference?" the Old Dean asked.
"Steel Do City can’t withstand a civil war; nobody in Noah Academy will be hard. I, Nan Mingyuan, will continue to represent the interests of Extraordinary Colleges," Nan Mingyuan declared.
"It seems I really have beco old," the Elder sighed, "go back."
Nan Mingyuan stood up, bowed respectfully to the Old Dean, then turned to Xu Mo and said, "Xu Mo, for the exchange visit coming up with Capital College, I can send you to learn in the Capital."
Xu Mo looked up at Nan Mingyuan and uttered two words, "Thank you."
It was sowhat stiff.
Nan Mingyuan didn’t mind and turned to leave.
"The tis have changed, it’s the next generation’s world now," the Elder mused.
"I don’t trust schers," Xu Mo spoke up.
The answer to the assassination he encountered at Nanming Academy had co out.
The investigation led nowhere because Nan Mingyuan was the mastermind behind it, and all the evidence gathered was in his own hands.
Furthermore, the assassin had once been his student.
A cold-blooded and ruthless scher who even kept his own biological father in the dark for so many years.
