Conflict

Lin Feng and the others turned their gaze, looking coldly at the young man and woman who spoke, their lips carrying a mocking smile.

"What are you saying?" Duan Feng responded coldly.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Feng nudged him and said, "Duan Feng, let's go, let's sign up."

With that, Lin Feng continued to pull the carriage forward.

"Big Brother Lin," Duan Feng hesitated for a moment, then called out, only to see Lin Feng shake his head and smile, "With so many idiots around, can you really get angry?"

Duan Feng paused, then smiled and shook his head.

However, Lin Feng's words made the young man and woman's faces turn ugly, their eyes cold.

"Lowly commoner, if it weren't for the Academy's prohibition on causing trouble today, I would definitely cripple you," the young man said coldly. But Lin Feng couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him. Having encountered many such situations, he had become more indifferent.

"Zuo Qiu, who are you angry with?"

At this moment, a voice came from behind the young man. Zuo Qiu and Zhong Ling turned around to see Duan Yu approaching with a whip in hand.

"Forget it, just a lowly commoner," Zuo Qiu said lightly, jumping down from his wolf mount, with Zhong Ling doing the same.

Although Duan Lie was very inconspicuous among the crowd of the Duan family, with his surname Duan, and being the prince of the Snow Moon Kingdom, Duan Yu the princess, the two of them still needed to show some respect.

In their circle, people were divided into three, five, or nine ranks, and the hierarchy was extremely strict. They couldn't overstep their bounds. So when they saw Duan Yu dismounting from his mount and cursing Lin Feng as a lowly commoner, it was because they placed themselves above Duan Yu and Lin Feng.

"Since he's a lowly commoner, why bother getting angry? Let's go and sign up," Duan Yu said lightly. By now, the bruises on her face had disappeared without a trace. In her home, there was never a shortage of elixirs. Treating this slight facial injury was easy, but the damage to her dignity was not so easily healed. Lin Feng had slapped her in front of everyone. This matter would probably spread throughout the imperial city soon. How could she face anyone?

Duan Feng walked to a stone table and saw an old man sitting on a stone bench. He said directly, "Recommendation letter, bring it out."

"Okay." Duan Feng took out the recommendation letter and handed it to the old man. After looking at it, the old man's gaze slightly condensed. He looked up, glanced at Duan Feng, and asked, "Your surname is Duan?"

"Yes." Duan Feng replied.

"Okay, go over there, get your token, and then enter the academy. Someone will receive you." The old man pointed to the side and said. Duan Feng nodded slightly.

"Big Brother Lin, let's go over there." Duan Feng said to Lin Feng, but he heard the old man asking, "How many of you have recommendation letters?"

Recommendation letters?

How could Lin Feng and the others have such things? Shaking his head, Lin Feng said, "We're just accompanying him. We don't have recommendation letters."

"Without a recommendation letter, you are not students of the Academy. Non-students of the Academy are not allowed to enter, not even family members are allowed. You must leave on your own." The old man said calmly, his tone unquestionable.

Hearing the old man's words, Lin Feng suddenly realized that even though there were many nobles among the crowd, very few of them brought relatives with them. Presumably, it was because of this rule.

"Lowly commoners are just lowly commoners, ignorant of the rules. They don't even have a recommendation letter. They are embarrassing themselves." Zuo Qiu, who had just arrived, heard the last two sentences of the conversation behind Lin Feng. His mouth spouted out a sarcastic voice.

"Zuo Qiu is right. I don't know where these lowly commoners came from, embarrassing themselves." Zhong Ling, who was beside him, echoed, her tone full of sarcasm.

"Duan Yu, what do you think?" Zhong Ling said to Duan Yu beside her. She knew Duan Yu was the proudest and looked down on those lowly commoners, casually whipping them.

But when Zhong Ling looked at Duan Yu, she saw Duan Yu staring at the backs of those people, her heart trembling slightly, her eyes showing a complex expression, with anger and a hint of fear.

Lin Feng turned around and happened to see Duan Yu. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, making Duan Yu's face stiffen.

"Truly, the kind of people you associate with reflects your own character. They are just as foolish as you are, calling others lowly commoners, but not realizing how despicable their own mouths are." A cold voice came from Lin Feng's mouth, making Zhong Ling and Zuo Qiu's faces stiffen, extremely gloomy.

How dare this lowly commoner insult them? Moreover, he insulted Duan Yu along with them. Such audacity.

However, when they looked at Duan Yu, they saw that besides her unpleasant expression, she did not show any other reaction. She, who had always been proud and hot-tempered, was silent when insulted by others, which made Zhong Ling and Zuo Qiu feel a little strange.

"Whose mouth do you say is despicable?"

Seeing Duan Yu not speaking, Zhong Ling stared coldly at Lin Feng, and the Fire Lion beside her let out a low roar.

Spirit beasts inherently had intelligence. After being tamed, they could understand their master's intentions.

"It's okay to have a despicable mouth, but even self-awareness is lacking. I really don't understand why the Academy would even want someone like you." Lin Feng shook his head and said. Insulting a lowly commoner once or twice was fine; he could pretend not to hear it. But the other party seemed to be going too far, making him unable to ignore it.

"A lowly commoner without even a recommendation letter dares to question the Academy. Truly shameless. Today, even if the Academy does not allow trouble, I will slap you," Zhong Ling said coldly. No one had ever dared to use the word "lowly" on her.

"Enough, today is the day for the Academy's enrollment. If you want to cause trouble, get out." The old man sitting on the stone bench said with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"Teacher, this is my recommendation letter, please have a look." Zhong Ling walked up to Lin Feng and handed the recommendation letter to the old man.

Taking the recommendation letter, the old man glanced at the signature of the recommender and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He then said, "You can now go and get your token. After that, you will be a member of the Academy."

"No need to rush." Zhong Ling looked

 at Lin Feng triumphantly, and at the same time, Zuo Qiu also stepped forward and handed his recommendation letter.

The old man looked through it, his gaze once again frozen for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Not bad, not yet seventeen years old, at the Second Level of the Spirit Martial Realm. The Zuo family has produced a good son."

"Thank you for your overpraise, Teacher." Zuo Qiu said with a smile, his tone full of pride.

"But Zuo Qiu, don't be too happy too soon. The Academy has many geniuses, and everyone who comes out of it can achieve great success. In the future, don't disgrace the Zuo family." "Of course not." Zuo Qiu shook his head and said, then glanced at Lin Feng coldly, "But, Teacher, now, someone is hitting my face."

The old man's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at Lin Feng.

"Although today is the day for the Academy to recruit, it does not restrict those without recommendation letters."

The old man's words made Lin Feng and the others' eyes slightly cold. Lin Feng sneered, "The people of the Academy are so short-sighted and controlling, but that's all."

"If your mouth is so despicable, if I don't control it, I'm unworthy of being a member of the Academy," Zuo Qiu said coldly. This person didn't even have a recommendation letter, yet he was so ignorant, seeking trouble for himself.

At this time, the crowd around them gradually increased, and even many people from the Academy came over to watch the excitement. They had not expected someone to cause trouble at the Academy's recruitment site.

"Lowly commoners are just lowly commoners, not knowing their place, purely looking for trouble." A young man dressed in luxurious clothes in the crowd smiled faintly, his tone proud, looking down on the commoners. This pride had been instilled in them since childhood. In their eyes, the Academy should refrain from admitting the children of commoners. They were talented, but how could they compare to the children of nobles who were born with strong talents? The resources for cultivation that the children of nobles possessed were not something they could match.

"Only knowing how to bully others with power, what's the use besides using elixirs to enhance their cultivation? Just a group of useless trash." Another voice, equally confrontational, sounded. This person was the opposite of the one who had just spoken, looking down on the children of nobles.

With the two people's voices, two groups of people also began to confront each other, subtly forming a confrontation.

In the imperial city, there were too many people with distinguished status, so there were also many children of nobles. They had always been arrogant and looked down on commoners. Over time, the two groups of people in the imperial city naturally formed an antagonistic relationship, which was the characteristic of the Snow Moon Imperial City, which would not exist elsewhere.
