Originally, Yu Tianheng felt very uncomfortable after being beaten, but his anger immediately dissipated after hearing Ye Liangchen's words. At this moment, he greatly admired that Xiao Jiahuo.
"Boss, how are you?" Oslo ran over with a grin, checking Yu Tianheng's injuries.
"I'm fine. Lan Chen held back and didn't hit hard. I only suffered a minor flesh wound."
Yu Tianheng stood up and moved his limbs, finding that he hadn't injured any bones or tendons, but his face was bruised and swollen, looking very comical.
"Yu Tianheng, you were beaten by Lan Chen, and you don't hate him? That's really strange."
Yufeng and Shimou looked at Yu Tianheng, who had turned into a pig's head, and found it very amusing.
"I have no grievances or grudges with him. It was my overestimation to challenge him. I deserved to be beaten. What's there to hate?"
Yu Tianheng recalled the Evil Eyes White Tiger Spirit Master Ye Liangchen had mentioned earlier, who was only around 15 years old and still spent every day chasing girls, yet had cultivated to level 37. He himself was 18 and only at level 39, which really felt a bit weak.
Yu Tianheng, being from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, naturally knew a little about the Evil Eyes White Tiger Spirit. That was a Spirit Master from the Star Luo Empire's imperial family. He would definitely go to Soto City to fight him when he had the chance.
"Tianheng, you come from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, noble in status, which also made you very proud. Today's defeat allows you to recognize your own shortcomings, which is very good."
Qin Ming saw a slight change in Yu Tianheng, as if he had been awakened by the young man named Lan Chen, and felt very relieved.
"Thank you, Teacher Qin Ming, for your guidance. I understand." Yu Tianheng respectfully bowed to Qin Ming.
"He got beaten by that guy Lan Chen, and he still wants to thank him? Boss, you have a masochistic tendency!"
Oslo muttered quietly to himself on the side, feeling that Yu Tianheng's brain had been addled by the beating.
"Hahahaha...!"
Yufeng and the Shimou brothers burst into laughter when they heard Oslo's complaint.
"You can laugh! When you truly face Lan Chen, you will realize how big the gap between you and him is."
Yu Tianheng recalled the scene of his previous confrontation with that Xiao Jiahuo. The moment the other party appeared in front of him, he already knew that he was bound to lose.
The matter of Ye Liangchen completely dominating Yu Tianheng was also witnessed by Dugu Bo, Prince Xue Xing, and the three Grand Deans of Heaven Dou Royal Academy from a distance.
"What a genius!"
"This child's combat power is incredibly strong. Even a Spirit King-level Spirit Master might not be his opponent."
The three Grand Deans were all shocked by Ye Liangchen's previous performance.
Dugu Bo thought to himself, what's a Spirit King? Xiao Jiahuo dared to venture into Sunset Forest alone, single-handedly killing a Ten-Thousand Year Golden Eagle Spirit Beast. Now that's defying the heavens.
"Mr. Dugu, who is that young man?" Prince Xue Xing asked curiously. If such a talent could serve the Tiandou Royal Family, that would be wonderful.
"A friend's son. As for his true identity, this old man cannot tell you. But rest assured, he is not from Spirit Hall."
Dugu Bo played dumb, fooling the old men. Ye Liangchen was the child of those two. Given their past conduct, they might have even beaten this old fellow Xue Xing. If this old fellow knew Xiao Jiahuo's true identity, he might even send people to assassinate him.
"So young, yet so powerful. Without using a Spirit, he made Yu Tianheng, who possesses the World's Number One Beast Spirit, utterly helpless. He's truly a monster! This child is destined to make a name for himself in the future."
"Mr. Dugu, which academy does Xiao Jiahuo cultivate at? If he isn't in one, he can join our Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Meng Shenji, as the Chief of the Committee, thought highly of that Xiao Jiahuo and fantasized about him joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"Hahahaha...! Meng Shenji, stop fantasizing about that. With your strength, you can't teach him. Even this old man isn't qualified to guide him."
Dugu Bo interrupted Meng Shenji's fantasy, thinking, you old fellows want to teach that Xiao Jiahuo? That's simply a pipe dream. This old man is now his subordinate.
Just then, Xue Beng found his uncle, Prince Xue Xing, and cried out, "Uncle, I was beaten by that guy named Lan Chen! He's disrespecting our Tiandou Royal Family! You must uphold justice for me!"
The three Grand Deans looked at Xue Beng's face, swollen like a pig's head, and shook their heads and sighed. They knew this Fourth Prince's character very well; he must have provoked someone first.
"Xue Beng, how did you provoke that young man?"
Prince Xue Xing looked at his nephew's miserable state and felt a bit angry. That Xiao Jiahuo dared to beat a royal descendant as soon as he arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. This was simply disrespecting the Empire's Tiandou Royal Family.
"I just saw he was a stranger and wanted to check his identity, and then he beat me! Uncle, you must uphold justice for me!"
Xue Beng exaggerated his misery in front of his uncle, hoping Prince Xue Xing would help him get revenge.
"Xue Beng! You should be grateful you're still alive. With his strength, killing you is as simple as crushing an ant."
"That young man was brought by this old man. If you look for trouble with him, you're looking for trouble with this old man."
"Prince Xue Xing, it's just a scuffle between children. There's no need for us elders to get involved, is there?"
Dugu Bo stared coldly at Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing, pressing down on them with the mental force of a Titled Douluo.
The sudden mental force pressure directly scared Xue Beng so much that he peed his pants, which became wet. He slumped to the ground, utterly terrified.
"Mr. Dugu, this is all a misunderstanding."
"Xue Beng, cause less trouble, or you won't even know how you died later!"
Prince Xue Xing first apologized to Dugu Bo, then slapped Xue Beng, thinking: I told you to act like a dissolute young master to deceive Crown Prince, but I didn't tell you to court death!
"Xue Xing, there are some people in this World whom your Tiandou Royal Family cannot provoke. This old man guarantees that if you dare to harm that young man, the Heaven Dou Empire's Tiandou Royal Family will disappear forever."
To prevent this old fellow Xue Xing from sending people to assassinate Ye Liangchen in the future, Dugu Bo warned him.
"Mr. Dugu, please rest assured. It's just a scuffle between children. How can we elders bully the young?"
Prince Xue Xing didn't know if what Dugu Bo said was true. Before investigating that young man's true identity, he didn't dare to act recklessly.
"Imperial Brother, I heard you caused trouble and got beaten."
Just then, a refined voice came from a distance, followed by a handsome young man walking towards Dugu Bo and his group. Behind him were two Spirit King-level guards.
This person was none other than Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, whose true identity was Qian Renxue, the Young Master of Spirit Hall. Earlier, she received intelligence that Xue Beng was beaten at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and found it amusing, so she came to see who was so bold.
"Imperial Brother, you must uphold justice for me..."
When Xue Beng saw Xue Qinghe arrive, he was very scared, but to survive, he had no choice but to act out, displaying his true nature as a dissolute young master, crying and wailing in front of his brother to gain sympathy, hoping he would deal with Lan Chen.
"Imperial Brother, as Crown Prince, I cannot do such a thing as bullying the young. That would bring shame to the Tiandou Royal Family."
Xue Qinghe thought: If this guy is beaten to death by that young man, it would save me the trouble of doing it myself. This is a good thing.
"Xue Beng, step down."
"You few, take His Royal Highness, the Fourth Prince, away."
Prince Xue Xing felt that if this simpleton stayed here any longer, something would happen sooner or later, so he ordered Xue Beng's subordinates to quickly take him away.
"Your Royal Highness, the Fourth Prince, let's go quickly."
The four of them carried Xue Beng and quickly left the place.
"Greetings, Crown Prince."
Seeing that the newcomer was Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, the three Grand Deans immediately bowed in salute. This Crown Prince was also one of the actual controllers of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Although the three Grand Deans seemingly had autonomy, they all understood that they were just employees.
"There's no need for the three Grand Deans to be so polite. My younger brother is unaccomplished; he made you laugh."
"Dugu Enshrined, Imperial Uncle!"
Xue Qinghe acted very magnanimously, even greeting Dugu Bo and Prince Xue Xing.
"Your Royal Highness is too kind. This old man has already resigned as an Enshrined of the Tiandou Royal Family. I am here today to handle the withdrawal of Miss Ye and my granddaughter from the academy."
Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was also a high-ranking official of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so Dugu Bo directly laid out his cards to him. There was nothing to hide anyway.
"Why is that?"
Hearing that Dugu Bo was preparing to take Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan away, Qian Renxue's heart rejoiced, but years of undercover life made her an excellent actress, so she pretended to be surprised.
"This is my private matter. If Your Royal Highness wants to know, you can ask your Imperial Uncle."
Dugu Bo was too lazy to explain to this Crown Prince. Anyway, he would have no more ties with the Tiandou Royal Family in the future.
"Mr. Dugu, I heard that the young man who beat my Imperial Brother is also a genius. This Crown Prince would like to meet him. You don't mind, do you?"
Qian Renxue was very curious about that audacious young man. She had heard from some students that he had pinned Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to the ground without using his Spirit. Such a person was a super genius!
"Please, Your Royal Highness."
After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he immediately headed in the direction of Ye Liangchen. The Heaven Dou Crown Prince had set his sights on that Xiao Jiahuo, and as an elder, Dugu Bo had to keep an eye on him.
Prince Xue Xing and the three Grand Deans, seeing this, also followed Xue Qinghe to see who that young man was.
...
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling led Ye Liangchen towards the academy dormitory. The two girls were leaving school and needed to take their belongings.
"That guy is really amazing. He took down Yu Tianheng without even using his Spirit. He's too powerful."
"Yeah! Yu Tianheng is a genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, usually very arrogant, but today he got humbled."
"That guy Yu Tianheng, relying on the World's Number One Beast Spirit, looked down on us. Seeing him get beaten today, I feel very comfortable."
"Be careful, don't let Yu Tianheng hear you."
Along the way, many people paid their respects to Ye Liangchen. Some students who had previously lost to Yu Tianheng felt incredibly satisfied.
"Xiao Chen Didi, you're famous today."
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had never expected this Xiao Jiahuo to be such a violent person. The sight of him grabbing Yu Tianheng by his feet and swinging him to the ground was incredibly shocking, making them feel their blood boil.
"They were looking for trouble with me. I couldn't just stand there and take it, could I?"
Ye Liangchen spread his hands, indicating that he didn't want this either!
"Xiao Chen Didi, wait here. We're going to the dormitory to pack our things."
After arriving at the entrance of the girls' dormitory, the two girls told Xiao Jiahuo to wait there, then ran directly into the dormitory.
"Okay, two elder sisters."
Ye Liangchen sat bored on a step, waiting for the two girls. Just then, Dugu Bo arrived with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and his entourage, coming to Ye Liangchen's side.
"Senior Dugu, have the two elder sisters' withdrawal from school been settled?"
When Ye Liangchen saw Dugu Bo, he immediately asked about the withdrawal, not paying attention to anyone else.
"Everything is settled." Dugu Bo smiled, thinking that this Xiao Jiahuo was truly bold.
"What should I call this young brother?"
Xue Qinghe stared at Ye Liangchen, feeling that this Xiao Jiahuo had an unconventional demeanor, as if he didn't put anyone in his eyes. It was truly amazing.
"Brother, who are you?"
Ye Liangchen turned his head and saw a refined young man curiously staring at him, thinking: Who is this guy?
"Young man, this is His Royal Highness Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Meng Shenji introduced Xue Qinghe's identity to Ye Liangchen, thinking that this Xiao Jiahuo was truly an oddity; he wasn't surprised at all to see them.
Holy crap! This is such a cliché. I've met Qian Renxue, the drama queen, so soon.
"Oh! So it's His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. My apologies! My apologies!"
Ye Liangchen pretended to be surprised for a moment, looking at the refined young man in front of him. He felt that he lacked masculine energy. Isn't this just a sissy?
He thought that no matter how well Qian Renxue disguised herself, she could never completely hide the unique aura of a woman. However, to the people of the Tiandou Royal Family, they might just think Xue Qinghe had some special hobbies.
"What are the names of you seniors?"
Ye Liangchen looked at the three old men beside Dugu Bo and asked curiously. As for that old fellow Prince Xue Xing, he had seen him at the auction house before, but now he pretended not to know him.
"We are the three Grand Deans of Heaven Dou Royal Academy... This is Prince Xue Xing of the Empire's Tiandou Royal Family."
Meng Shenji rattled off introductions of themselves and Prince Xue Xing to Ye Liangchen.
"Oh! So it's the three seniors and Prince Xue Xing! My apologies! My apologies!"
Ye Liangchen greeted the old men. Although he disliked Prince Xue Xing and really wanted to kill him, now was not the time, and he couldn't be too arrogant.
"Little brother, where are you from?"
Xue Qinghe was intrigued by Ye Liangchen's calm demeanor, so he leaned closer and asked curiously, wanting to inquire about Xiao Jiahuo's identity.
"Your Royal Highness, why are you asking about my identity? You're not trying to get revenge for your Imperial Brother, are you?"
Ye Liangchen took a step back. Although he knew that this Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue in disguise, she was currently posing as a male, and he didn't want to get too close to her, otherwise people might think he had some special hobbies.
"Little brother is joking. This Crown Prince cherishes his people like his own children. How could I do such a thing as bullying the young?"
Xue Qinghe waved his hand with a smile. Xue Beng wasn't his real relative; he couldn't wait for him to die sooner!
