Warning_1

Seeing this, Prince Xue Xing, holding back a laugh, managed to keep himself from smiling...

He hadn't expected that Zhi Lin, out of fear, would suddenly choose to change his statement...

Beside him, Du Gu Bo's eyes widened with some astonishment...

After Zhi Lin's cunning maneuver, he was at a loss for what to say...

After all, no matter how one looked at it, the other party was pleading for his granddaughter!

Seeing the expression on Prince Xue Xing, Zhi Lin coughed and added, "Prince Xue Xing, everything I have said is true. Dugu Yan is a child of excellent talent. Kicking her out of team one would truly be a loss for the academy!"

"So, please don't kick her out of team one just because of some rumors you've heard!"

At this point, in order not to offend Du Gu Bo, he had no choice but to go against his original intention!

Prince Xue Xing forced himself to calm down and exclaimed, "Commissioner Zhi Lin, to see you treat a student to this extent—I am truly moved. I'm sure Senior Douluo of Poison feels the same!"

Du Gu Bo pursed his lips and said softly, "Hmm, I heard from Teacher Qin that Commissioner Zhi Lin has a problem with my granddaughter and wants to kick her out of team one!"

"It seems that Teacher Qin has misunderstood!"

"Of course, I want to kick your granddaughter out of team one. Such a lazy person has no right to stay!"

However, this thought, Zhi Lin only dared to express in his heart...

On the surface, however, he echoed, "No... No, that's right. It must be a misunderstanding of my intentions by Teacher Qin. With outstanding students like Dugu Yan, I couldn't want more, how could I deliberately make things difficult for her!"

Pausing for a moment, he spoke again with a tone laced with hope, "Well... I've finished what I had to say, Prince Xue Xing, Senior Douluo of Poison, I won't bother you any longer, farewell!"

After saying this, he turned to leave...

However, Du Gu Bo unexpectedly interrupted, "Wait a moment!"

Zhi Lin stopped in his tracks and said with an awkward laugh, "Senior Douluo of Poison, is there anything else?"

Du Gu Bo, with an unchanged expression, said, "It's like this, there are some matters I would like to discuss with Commissioner Zhi Lin alone!"

"Prince Xue Xing, I will take my leave for now, is that okay?"

Prince Xue Xing, seeing through his intentions, casually replied, "Of course!"

Probably, Du Gu Bo wanted to teach Zhi Lin a lesson, but as long as it wasn't too severe, it wouldn't be anything serious!

Then Du Gu Bo turned to Zhi Lin, saying indifferently, "Commissioner Zhi Lin, let's go. There's still plenty of time, it won't be much of a delay!"

Fearful but not daring to disrespect him...

He could only offer an awkward laugh, "Ah hahaha... Yeah, since Senior Douluo has said so, let's go!"

With that, the two of them left the resting room...

Once he was alone, Prince Xue Xing finally sat down, sighing, "Now that everyone's gone, I can have some peace..."

But the next second, a familiar voice came from outside the door... "Uncle, are you in there?"

A shadow crossed Prince Xue Xing's brow as he sighed, "Is that Xue Beng?? Come in."

Why is the resting room so lively today!

First, there was Commissioner Zhi Lin from the committee, and now my nephew, Xue Beng...

Upon hearing this, Xue Beng then pushed open the door and entered...

Starting somewhat guiltily, he said, "Uncle, I hope I haven't disturbed you?"

Prince Xue Xing rolled his eyes, responding irritably, "Nonsense, of course you have!"

Swallowing hard, Xue Beng ventured, "Then Uncle, should I come back later??"

Prince Xue Xing waved his hand, "No need for that, just tell me, why did you suddenly come to see me this time?"

```

He had clearly instructed the former not to seek him out unless there was something important, lest they be discovered!

Xue Beng scratched his head, "Uncle, it's like this, I heard that the fourth prince was assassinated by an unknown attacker, so I wanted to come and inquire about the situation!"

Xue Xing made no attempt to conceal the truth, nodding in confirmation, "Yes, the matter is indeed true, and the perpetrator was a Soul Master assigned to protect the fourth prince!"

Xue Beng's pupils suddenly constricted, "Doesn't that mean that all the princes, including myself, could be in danger?"

Since the perpetrator dared to act against members of the royal household, they surely would not stop at just one prince!

Xue Xing looked at him with approval, "I don't exclude that possibility, which is why I proposed to your father, the emperor, that all the princes should be arranged to stay within the academy!"

"Although he agreed, however..."

Xue Beng narrowed his eyes, "Uncle, what do you mean 'however'? Don't tell me that only Xue Qinghe is an exception!"

Regarding Xue Qinghe, he always remained vigilant and did not regard him as a brother!

Upon hearing this, the former couldn't help but regard him even more highly...

"Xue Beng, I really didn't misjudge you, that you could even guess this situation,"

Before this, he had not mentioned anything to him!

Once confirmed, Xue Beng clenched his fists, "In that case, can we be certain that the attack on the fourth prince was orchestrated by Xue Qinghe himself!"

"At least, he is definitely related to it!"

Xue Xing showed a trace of satisfaction, "That's what I think too, but rest assured, Xue Beng, I have already secretly dispatched several powerful Soul Masters to monitor Xue Qinghe."

"If he has any abnormal behavior, he will certainly not escape my notice!"

"So, during this period, you just stay calm at the academy, try not to act alone, understand?"

Xue Beng replied with certainty, "Don't worry, uncle, I won't cause you any trouble!"

His survival to this point was all thanks to the former's teachings!

Constantly concealing his talent!

Otherwise, he would definitely have been silently eliminated by Xue Qinghe!

"Since you understand, then go back, and take great care!"

Xue Beng immediately understood, "Uncle, then I won't disturb your rest any longer."

With his doubts now resolved, he naturally had no reason to stay any longer.

...

Meanwhile, following Du Gu Bo, Zhi Lin couldn't help but speak up, "Senior Douluo of Poison, may I know what you wish to speak to me about alone?"

Upon hearing this, Du Gu Bo also stopped in his tracks and replied word by word, "Commissioner Zhi Lin, I won't beat around the bush. I know you have an issue with my granddaughter!"

"But as long as I am here, no one can take away her qualification to stay in Team One, including you, understand?"

Upon finishing, he immediately exploded with a terrifying soul power fluctuation...

This scene frightened Zhi Lin to the point of going pale, prompting him to immediately release his Martial Soul to resist the pressure...

After wiping his forehead, he explained, "Senior Douluo of Poison, what do you mean by this? Wasn't it already said to be a misunderstanding before?"

But Du Gu Bo did not give him a chance to equivocate, cutting him off, "Whether it is a misunderstanding, you should be very clear in your own heart. If there is a next time, it won't be just a warning anymore!!"

After speaking, he stared fiercely at him before leaving without any hesitation...

Leaving Zhi Lin behind, breathing heavily alone...

...
