Chapter 1544 Hope


    Sima Ru wasn''t dumb. He wasn''t going to be fooled so easily by Fang Hongshan.


    Since matters had reached this stage, there was only one possibility. Jiang Ning was very powerful,


    and he was powerful beyond their imagination!


    Otherwise, there was no way he would have gotten his hands on so many pages, and there was no


    way all the reclusive ns would have suffered such severe losses at his hands.


    "Sima Gao deserved to die! Sima Heng brought this on himself! Let Senior Elder deal with that part.


    We have to make preparations, because I sense that Mount Zhongnan is not going to remain calm


    anymore," said Sima Ru in a stern voice.


    He hadn''t been sitting around and doing nothing all these years. He had been expanding his circle


    of influence and the entire n was filled with people on his team. Even though Sima Gang was the


    Senior Elder, he was aggressive and of high status, but he didn''t have anything else.


    Sima Ru was well aware of what Sima Gang was trying to do by purposely nting Sima Heng into


    the highest circle of the n.


    The advancement of the n was affected by all these selfish people!


    "I hope this old geezer doesn''t give the Sima n any trouble."


    Sima Ru had a bad feeling about this.


    Given Sima Gang''s temperament, he was going to march right up to Donghai to settle this feud with


    Jiang Ning directly.


    If that was the case, then they were certainly in trouble. Sima Ru had to make preparations in


    advance.


    Meanwhile, over in Donghai.


    Everything went on as usual.


    The energy emanating from the city made the reclusive n elders more and more befuddled, and


    they became more and more curious about Jiang Ning.


    Over the next few days, Jiang Ning didn''t limit their movement at all. They could move about freely


    in the city.


    When they walked around outside, all the children were very polite to them. When they saw that the


    elders had white hair and were clearly elderly, everyone was genuinely respectful towards them.


    As long as they stood around for a short period of time, someone woulde forward to ask if they


    needed help.


    Sima Quan felt like he hade to another world.


    This was truly a world that was a ss above the martial arts circle!


    Back inside Extreme Martial Arts Academy.


    Sima Quan didn''t say anything and just sat by the side of the practicing arena. Nobody bothered


    about him and just let him watch on.


    To Sima Quan, all these students were as amateur as a bunch of children.


    Their moves were hrious, but Sima Quan didn''t look at them disdainfully at all. Instead, he was


    filled with praise for these youngsters.


    "What exactly do all of you want?" Sima Quan finally turned to look at Tan Xing as he guided the


    students. "What is Jiang Ning trying to achieve? What is this city trying to achieve?"


    Tan Xing nced at him and didn''t say anything. He continued to patiently guide the students.


    "Don''t any of you know about the meaning behind the boxing manual?"


    Sima Quan really had many questions on his mind.


    "Of course we know," Tan Xing finally replied.


    "To all of you, the most important part about the manual is the secret of the map behind. But to the


    martial arts circle, it carries the hope of a revival." He nced at Sima Quan. "Do you know what is


    the most precious thing in this era?"


    "That''s right, it''s hope."


    "The hope of an ordinary person on the street, the hope of a martial artist, the hope of this city, the


    hope of this world..."


    "What Jiang Ning is trying to do, or rather, what Jiang Ning and his wife are trying to do, is to give


    more people hope. That''s something that you reclusive ns will never understand."


    Tan Xing spoke very calmly. He took a long time of interacting with Jiang Ning and Lin Yuzhen


    before he finally understood what they were trying to do.


    This sort of unconditional love and broadmindedness wasn''t something that these reclusive ns


    would understand.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Sima Quan murmured to himself. His heart started to tremble as he repeated the word ''hope'' to


    himself.


    BAM!


    Suddenly, there was a loud st from outside followed by a loud shout.


    "Jiang Ning! Come out here NOW!”
