Chapter 133: Accountability, Excuses, and Other Intentions
Passing through the academy's corridors, past various classrooms and offices, the four of them finally arrived at the Commissioner's office.
Upon arriving, Prince Xue Xing, as the leader, initially intended to maintain royal etiquette.
However, when he heard the joyful discussions emanating from within, Prince Xue Xing immediately suppressed that thought.
He pushed open the office door, which was only ajar, with a forceful shove.
"Bang!!"
The next moment, as the office door swung open, the people inside, believing that the person they were waiting for had arrived, all stopped speaking and looked towards the doorway.
However, when they saw that the person who arrived was not the Crown Prince they had been waiting for, but rather Prince Xue Xing, who was at odds with the Crown Prince, the three Commissioners at the forefront all showed grave expressions.
Especially when Dean Meng Shenji saw Xue Beng, who was brought by Prince Xue Xing, his expression slowly turned grim.
He could already roughly predict what was about to happen.
Sure enough, Prince Xue Xing's subsequent words made Dean Meng Shenji's already furrowed brow wrinkle even deeper.
"Dean Meng Shenji, I heard from Xue Beng that you harbored a thug yesterday who seriously injured a nobleman from our academy. Is this true? Do you know that this matter has already caused quite a stir within the academy?
Many students' parents are now worried about their children's safety within the academy, and many nobles have even jointly reported to us, demanding that we execute that thug on the spot!"
Prince Xue Xing's expression was icy as he scanned left and right.
He immediately spotted Sun Yu sitting there, surrounded by a group of teachers and Commissioners.
Behind Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng, another pair, one old and one young, saw Sun Yu's figure.
The younger figure immediately looked at the elder beside him with surprise and said, "Grandpa, that's him! He's the one who beat our captain yesterday until he couldn't fight back at all!"
Hearing his granddaughter say this, the elder, who had initially looked indifferent, instantly showed a curious expression towards the figure sitting on the chair.
So, the young man his granddaughter mentioned yesterday, who had beaten Yu Tianheng, was actually him.
What a coincidence, to meet him here.
"Prince Xue Xing, this matter is truly a misunderstanding. It wasn't Xiao Yu's intention yesterday; he was merely acting in self-defense... Besides, Xiao Yu didn't kill them; he only accidentally injured them.
Moreover, I immediately sent people to treat them afterwards! After being treated by Spirit Masters from the healing system, they should be fine now!
As for the parents behind them, I have already sent people to explain and comfort them, and similarly, we have all gained their understanding and forgiveness... As for the joint report you mentioned, I haven't received any such news yet. May I ask which student's parent informed you of this?"
Dean Meng Shenji, listening to Prince Xue Xing's accusations, explained to Prince Xue Xing with a solemn expression.
In fact, ever since Sun Yu seriously injured those noble students yesterday, Dean Meng Shenji had anticipated this moment.
Therefore, he had sent people overnight to use both soft and hard tactics to gain their understanding and forgiveness.
After all, this matter concerned the Crown Prince.
As long as the people behind them weren't fools, they wouldn't excessively delve into a matter where someone tried to bully others but ended up being taught a lesson.
As for Dean Meng Shenji's explanation, Xue Xing was also a bit surprised at how quickly Dean Meng Shenji had handled this matter.
The excuse he had just given was completely useless.
He then snorted coldly again and said, "Hmph, are you implying that this king is lying? In any case, for the peace of the academy, Dean Meng Shenji, I advise you to hand that boy over to me. Otherwise, if this matter continues to escalate, it won't be good for either you or me!"
Hearing that Prince Xue Xing was starting to show his true colors and act unreasonably, Dean Meng Shenji calmly said, "Prince Xue Xing, Xiao Yu is, after all, a retainer of the Crown Prince. If you wish to take him, you still need to ask for the Crown Prince's opinion. Coincidentally, the Crown Prince should already be on his way. Why don't you take a seat and wait for a moment? Once the Crown Prince arrives, you can have a good chat with him?"
Hearing Dean Meng Shenji's words, Prince Xue Xing's expression slightly changed.
What was so good about this boy that Xue Qinghe was willing to come in person at such a time?
No, this won't do. Since Xue Qinghe values this boy so much, I absolutely cannot let him stay peacefully by Xue Qinghe's side.
To be so highly valued by Xue Qinghe, he must possess some ability or talent that Xue Qinghe values...
This child must not be allowed to remain!
At this moment, listening to Dean Meng Shenji's words, a fierce killing intent flashed in Prince Xue Xing's eyes.
"Hmph, regarding this matter, just have Xue Qinghe come find me; I will give him a satisfactory answer, Dean Meng Shenji. This king is very busy and has no time to play childish games with you..."
Hearing Prince Xue Xing's empty promise, Dean Meng Shenji slowly shook his head and said, "I apologize, Prince Xue Xing, but the Crown Prince has given an order: before he arrives, I cannot allow Xiao Yu to suffer any harm!"
Not long after, as soon as the words fell, not only Dean Meng Shenji, but also Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin, the other two Commissioners, all stood by Dean Meng Shenji's side.
Afterwards, Qin Ming and the other two also stood up and positioned themselves behind the three Commissioners.
No matter what, their Heaven Dou Royal Academy's teaching system was a unified entity.
Therefore, unless Dean Meng Shenji relented, they would only follow closely behind him.
As for personal grudges, they would temporarily set them aside and prioritize the greater good!
Looking at Dean Meng Shenji and the others, who were now standing in front of Sun Yu, silently demonstrating their stance through their actions, a cold sneer flashed across Prince Xue Xing's face.
His expression was as if he was mocking the other party for being utterly overconfident.
They seemed to have overlooked the person he had brought with him, standing behind him.
Seeing this scene, Prince Xue Xing couldn't help but feel a slight sense of relief that he had brought him along earlier out of caution and for insurance.
"Hmph, Dean Meng Shenji, the person I intend to apprehend, you few won't be able to stop me!!"
After looking at Dean Meng Shenji and the others with a mocking expression, Prince Xue Xing immediately turned to the elder behind him with a somewhat respectful look and softly said, "Mr. Dugu, I'll have to trouble you..."
Dean Meng Shenji and the others saw that Prince Xue Xing was actually starting to act dishonorably by seeking help from the elder behind him.
Immediately, their expressions became extremely grim.
Given his status, he naturally recognized the elder's identity and the reason for Prince Xue Xing's immense respect.
Therefore, upon seeing Prince Xue Xing act in such an dishonorable manner, Dean Meng Shenji spoke with an even more enraged expression, "Prince Xue Xing, you've gone too far! Xiao Yu is still just a child; how can you..."
