Chapter 123: A Prince? So What! Who Isn’t One?

Chapter 123: A Prince? So What! Who Isn't One?

Qian Renxue and Kong exchanged a glance, both looking a bit confused.

This was the Tiandou Royal Academy, after all. Even if these noble children were unruly, they wouldn't dare to be so noisy and chaotic in the academy. Such behavior was simply disgraceful!

"Sorry to let you witness this scene, Brother Kong!"

Qian Renxue's face darkened as she fully adopted her persona as the Crown Prince.

"No problem, no problem."

Kong waved his hand dismissively. The state of the Tiandou Royal Academy was of little concern to him.

"Brother Kong, how about we go and take a look?"

"With pleasure!"

Qian Renxue: "..."

Kong agreed so easily that Qian Renxue was at a loss! She had previously invited him to join her faction, even promising him the title of "King Who Stands Shoulder to Shoulder with One Word," yet he refused.

And now he says "With pleasure!"

Is he fooling me?

Qian Renxue's eye twitched, but she said nothing more. With a dark expression, she walked side by side with Kong towards the source of the commotion.

On the other side—

"Is this how the Tiandou Royal Academy treats its guests?"

"Hmph, guests are guests. You lot of commoners are not worthy!"

The expressions of the Shrek group darkened. They had not expected to be confronted and provoked the moment they arrived at Tiandou Royal Academy.

The one picking a fight with Flender and the others was none other than Xue Beng!

Initially, he had no intention of causing trouble. He assumed they were here for academic exchange. He wasn't blind; he could see that these people were all soul masters—and strong ones at that.

However, after some inquiries, he learned that this group was here to join the Tiandou Royal Academy!

Xue Beng was shocked.

The Tiandou Royal Academy had long since become Xue Qinghe's "backyard."

Xue Qinghe's power was already considerable. If these people joined him, wouldn't that be like adding wings to a tiger?

No, he had to drive them out!

"Who are you calling commoners?"

Xue Beng's words angered the others. While they were indeed of common birth, they managed to contain their anger and avoid acting rashly.

However, Dai Mubai couldn't tolerate it! As the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire, how could he endure such insults?

"Oh, did I hit a nerve?"

Xue Beng's lips curled up, a glint of excitement in his eyes. His provocation had worked!

"You little...!"

Dai Mubai rolled up his sleeves, his face filled with fury as he walked toward Xue Beng.

Flender and the others didn't stop him. If Dai Mubai hadn't reacted so quickly, they would have been ready to teach this person a lesson themselves.

"What do you think you're doing? He is the Fourth Prince, His Highness Xue Beng!"

Just as Xue Beng was about to say something to further provoke them, one of his lackeys spoke up.

"The Fourth Prince?"

Everyone, including Dai Mubai, paused in surprise. None of them had expected this unruly youth to have such a status.

"Hmph, so what if you're the Fourth Prince? That won't stop me!"

Dai Mubai said and immediately threw a punch.

After all, he was the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire. Had he ever been this prideful?

"You... You dare...!"

"Get him!"

The group of spoiled nobles, all older than Dai Mubai, stood no chance against him in terms of soul power. Except for Xue Beng, the highest among them was merely at the twenty-fifth level.

Dai Mubai easily dealt with them without even releasing his martial soul.

These noble children had lived a pampered life with little battle experience. Otherwise, it would have taken Dai Mubai, a Soul Grandmaster, some effort to subdue them.

Clutching his face, Xue Beng glared with hatred in his eyes. "Just you wait!"

Dai Mubai had actually held back. After all, they were in the Tiandou Empire, and the other party was a prince. It wouldn't be good to go too far.

"And this is the character of the Fourth Prince of the Tiandou Empire?"

Flender frowned, starting to regret coming to the Tiandou Royal Academy.

However, they were already here...

Just then, Kong and Qian Renxue arrived.

Both Xue Beng and the Shrek group widened their eyes in surprise. Xue Beng, in particular, felt his heart sink!

The deputy master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was here, standing side by side with Xue Qinghe?

What did their positioning imply? It suggested a very close relationship between them!

Flender and the others might not know Xue Qinghe, but they certainly recognized Yu Tiankong!

What was he doing here?

Yu Tiankong glanced at Flender and the others, then at Xue Beng, and suddenly realized the situation.

"Se-Second Brother..."

Xue Beng's voice trembled as he spoke, perfectly portraying the fear he felt toward Xue Qinghe.

He still didn't understand why Yu Tiankong was with Xue Qinghe and why they seemed to get along so well. However, now was not the time to think about such things.

Xue Beng's address made Flender and the others pause in surprise again. This gentle-looking young man was also a prince?

"Xue Beng, what happened here?"

Qian Renxue's voice rose a few decibels, showing that she was genuinely angry.

However, she quickly composed herself. If nothing unexpected happened, Xue Beng had only a little more than a month left. Why should she concern herself with a dead man?

"I... I..."

Xue Beng wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat!

He noticed a moment of relief flash across "Xue Qinghe's" expression, making Xue Beng shudder.

Xue Qinghe wasn't angry?

"Apologies. This is my fourth brother, Xue Beng. His behavior is poorly disciplined. I hope everyone can overlook this."

"Xue Beng, apologize!"

Flender, Zhao Wuji, Tang San, and the others instantly felt a contrast—how could two princes be so vastly different?

"Xue Qinghe, don't push it too far!"

"Look at this! They hit me, and now you want me to apologize?"

Xue Beng "raged," letting go of the hand that was covering his face, revealing the palm print as he pointed to it.

"Xue Qinghe" showed no change in expression as she calmly said, "Xue Beng, do you really want me to investigate the entire incident?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Beng's lackeys lowered their heads, not daring to move. This incident had indeed been instigated by Xue Beng.

"Hmph, they hit me! I will not apologize!"

With these words, Xue Beng turned and ran away. The arrival of Xue Qinghe had disrupted his plans. It was impossible to drive these people away now.

However, he wasn't going to take this beating for nothing!

"Sigh..."

"Xue Qinghe" sighed and cupped his hands toward Flender and the others, saying, "I apologize. My fourth brother is unruly and has caused you trouble."

Flender and the others quickly waved their hands, their perception of the Tiandou princes drastically changing. This Second Prince, Xue Qinghe, and the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng, were as different as heaven and earth!

"Huh, Brother Kong, do you happen to know them?"

"Xue Qinghe" asked curiously. She had a strange feeling about the way Yu Tiankong and Flender's group were looking at each other.

"I do, but not very well,"

Yu Tiankong nodded in reply.

Not very well? They were practically too familiar!

"Tiankong?"

Yu Xiaogang was stunned. He looked at Tang San and the others, then at Yu Tiankong. Could this man really be Yu Tiankong?
