Harming someone during the Martial Arts Examination was an act anyone would find disgraceful, and Tie Zhennan was no different.
As for Nie Maocheng, while one of his disciples had been eliminated from the rankings by Yang Shaorong during the Martial Arts Examination, it was a fair competition. He could only lament his disciple's lack of ability; how would he dare to pick a fight with Guo Wei? Especially since both he and Tie Zhennan were now well aware that Guo Wei's strength surpassed their own.
The appearance of a True Martial Realm expert from a small place like Baiyang County was, to say the least, unexpected.
Both men tactfully kept their distance from Guo Wei. They knew in their hearts that as long as they didn't provoke him, he wouldn't cause them any trouble.
Back in the teahouse, the master and his two disciples continued to eat their pastries.
Once they had eaten their fill, they resumed their journey.
「After nightfall.」
