How Could I Let Others Manipulate Me at Will

Watching Vanessa Nangong leave, Ian Song's expression grew faintly somber.

Would his repeated refusal end up angering the military?

If he did anger the military, how would they treat him?

Thinking of this, Ian felt a bit of a headache.

Just then, the Venerable Dragon Sword and the Melody Empress arrived together.

"That young lady just now was sent by the military, right?" the Venerable Dragon Sword asked directly.

Ian nodded.

"So they were here to persuade you to leave Sanctum Martial Academy, right?" the Venerable Dragon Sword asked again.

Ian nodded again.

"So what are you planning to do?" the Melody Empress asked, her expression faintly tense.

"I've already refused them!" Ian said.

Ian's ability to refuse the military made both the Venerable Dragon Sword and the Melody Empress feel relieved, but also a bit worried.

An Emperor-Rank Martial Soul was simply too important.

Would the military just let it go and compromise?

Definitely not!

But Ian had already turned them down.

Given the military's usual domineering ways, it wasn't hard to guess what they'd do next.

They'd either put pressure on Sanctum Martial Academy, or on Ian himself—or both at once.

"Little Huang has to leave here immediately!"

A worried look flashed in the Melody Empress's eyes.
