Chapter 2670: Expulsion_1

Meanwhile, Xu Sheng and Xue Qinghe had also arrived at the class where Xue Beng studied at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy...

After casting a casual glance around, Xue Qinghe's face turned slightly embarrassed...

Leaning towards Xu Sheng, he asked quietly, "Xu Sheng, which one is Xue Beng??"

Xu Sheng also fell silent, finding it somewhat absurd, "Crown Prince, you're Xue Beng's brother after all..."

Had Qian Renxue, pretending to be Xue Qinghe, not bothered to find out what Xue Beng looked like?

Facing such suspicion, Xue Qinghe braced himself to explain, "It was the Porcupine Douluo who went to supervise him, I'm not clear on his appearance."

Helplessly, Xu Sheng's gaze turned towards one of the children...

Seeing this, Qian Renxue followed his gaze...

Upon closer inspection, she thought to herself, "Is this child really Xue Beng, my younger brother? He seems very ordinary, but recalling what Xu Sheng once said, perhaps it's deliberate!"

At that moment, Xue Beng was gathering several peers, surrounding one of the students...

The encircled student showed a look of fear, "You... what do you want to do? If you lay hands on me and teachers find out, you will be punished!"

The leading Xue Beng scoffed, "Punished? What a joke, I am a prince of the Tiandou Empire, who dares to punish me!"

Then, he ordered the other peers, "You guys, beat him up for me. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone's faces showed eagerness, obviously ready to act...

But Xue Qinghe sternly commanded, "Stop it all of you!!"

All paused for a moment, then slowly turned around...

Xue Beng frowned, annoyed, and rebuked, "You... who the hell are you, daring to obstruct me? Do you have a death wish?? I am a prince of the Tiandou Empire!"

Xue Qinghe, unfazed, spoke up, "Bullying other students by relying on a prince's status, that's an embarrassment to the royal household!"

Xue Beng, utterly unconcerned, retorted, "Who are you to lecture me on what I want to do? Get lost!"

A student standing by swallowed hard, seeming to recognize Xue Qinghe's identity...

He whispered in a low voice, "Lord Xue Beng, that seems to be the Crown Prince, your elder brother!"

Xue Beng's expression changed abruptly, as if he also recalled this elder brother of his...

The rest of his peers, upon realizing this, did not hesitate to abandon him, sullenly facing Xue Qinghe ahead...

"Crown Prince, this... this isn't our fault, it was all Lord Xue Beng's idea!"

"Yes, yes, Crown Prince, we really had no intention of bullying anyone!!"

"Crown Prince, Lord Xue Beng, the teacher is waiting for me, I must leave first!"

With that, the students left without looking back...

Watching their retreating backs, Xue Beng clenched his teeth in anger...

"You!!"

Xue Qinghe's expression grew more serious, "Xue Beng! Do you realize your mistake?"

Xue Beng snapped back to reality, sneering disdainfully, "Hmph, just because you're my nominal brother doesn't mean you can lecture me; we are not close!"

Xu Sheng, enjoying the commotion, couldn't help but chuckle with his arms crossed...

This immediately caught Xue Beng's attention...

He shouted angrily, "You over there, what are you laughing at, believe it or not, I can have my father banish you from the Tiandou Empire!!"

Then, turning back to Xue Qinghe, he said, "And you, stop meddling in my affairs; only my father has the right to lecture me!"

Afterward, glowering at the student who had been bullied, he left as well...

A complex expression appeared in Xue Qinghe's amber eyes, "Xu Sheng, is Xue Beng really pretending to be like this?"

Even he could not detect any flaws!

```

It seemed to be his very nature!

Xu Sheng shook his head, giving an ambiguous answer, "I'm not sure, either. Xue Beng might be even more outstanding than we imagine!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe also did not wish to ponder further, "Is that so... Well, no matter whether Xue Beng is disguising himself or not, he now lacks the ability to hinder me!"

"Let's go back!"

...

This situation quickly reached the ears of the Emperor Xue Ye of the Tiandou Empire!

He showed a look of surprise, "Oh? Qing He actually took the initiative to visit Xue Beng at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

In his recollection, this was the first time!

The man below nodded slightly in affirmation, "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, not only that, but he also brought that child named Xu Sheng!"

This time, he was tactful enough not to express his own opinion, instead allowing the former to consider it by himself!

Xue Ye slowly propped up his chin, contemplating, "Hmm... Qing He and this Xu Sheng have indeed been in contact far too often. After all, the latter is nothing more than a servant he luckily saved!"

How could someone from the royal household behave in such a way that lowers their status!

Thinking this, the somewhat irritated Emperor commanded, "Go, bring that Xu Sheng to me!"

Since he remains by the side of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, presumably it is only for wealth and glory!

Then give him some golden soul coins and send him away!

The man hesitated for a moment, speaking uneasily, "What if the Crown Prince himself intervenes?"

Xue Ye did not reply but sternly ordered, "Didn't you hear my command? Bring that Xu Sheng here!"

The latter immediately understood, "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!"

...

Soon, a baffled Xu Sheng was brought into the Imperial Palace Great Hall...

Of course, at this moment, only he and Xue Ye were present!

Xu Sheng bowed slightly, "Xu Sheng pays respects to His Majesty the Emperor."

Xue Ye, however, let out a cold laugh, "Pays respects? You dare to defy my orders in front of everyone, do you still hold this Emperor in your eyes?"

Xu Sheng replied calmly, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I did not defy your wishes at that time, I just felt it was unnecessary!"

Xue Ye had no intention of continuing the discussion, cutting straight to the point, "You seem desperate to stay by Qing He's side, you must be after wealth and honor, right?"

"Now, I will give you enough golden soul coins, and then, you must leave the Tiandou Empire Palace immediately!!"

"Did you understand?"

Xu Sheng frowned slightly, "What do you mean, Your Majesty the Emperor? I stay by the Crown Prince's side out of gratitude, with no other intentions!"

To be honest, he hadn't expected that Xue Ye would be so tricky and petty when he was younger, quibbling over every little thing...

Xue Ye completely disbelieved him, "No other intentions? What a joke!!"

"But since you choose not to drink a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

In an instant, several Soul Masters with powerful auras appeared...

Their cold gazes fixed on Xu Sheng, as if at a signal from the former, they would attack him without hesitation!!

Xu Sheng's dark eyes also began to flicker, "Your Majesty the Emperor, why must you do this?"

...
