Chapter 131: The Avalanche That Frightened People
After running to Meng Shenji's side, the look of terror on Xue Beng's face, which had gained a sense of security from Meng Shenji, slowly began to fade.
After gulping down heavily,
Xue Beng began to embellish and recount to Meng Shenji what he had just encountered.
He even emphasized that the young man had attempted to assassinate him, the current prince.
As for the fact that he was the one who first ordered people to attack the young man, he simply glossed over it.
As Xue Beng spoke, he occasionally glared at Sun Yu with resentful and angry eyes.
His gaze was as if he wished he could break Sun Yu's bones and devour his flesh alive.
"Dean Meng Shenji, a rebellious person who publicly attempted to assassinate a prince and nobles has appeared within Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I hope you will immediately execute him on the spot.
To restore the prestige and safety of our Heaven Dou Royal Academy, if he does not die today, I will report this matter to Prince Xue Xing later and have Prince Xue Xing handle this matter seriously for me!"
Finally, as Xue Beng finished his last sentence, Meng Shenji's tightly furrowed brows deepened even further.
Meng Shenji knew Xue Beng's profligate nature well, so he only believed about one-third of Xue Beng's words.
The remaining two-thirds were simply Xue Beng's personal venting, not worth listening to.
However, what made Meng Shenji feel tricky in this matter was hearing that Xue Beng even wanted to report this matter to Prince Xue Xing.
Once this matter was reported to Prince Xue Xing, it would no longer be a small matter.
As a Prince, Xue Xing's authority in the Empire was greater than his own as a Commissioner.
Unless the Crown Prince intervened, he would not be able to contend with Prince Xue Xing on his own.
"Dean Meng Shenji, that is the genius the Crown Prince mentioned he recruited…."
Just as Meng Shenji was feeling quite a headache about how to handle the matter next, the guard captain beside him quietly spoke to Meng Shenji.
"What?! You said he is the retainer recommended by the Crown Prince?!"
Hearing the guard captain's words, Meng Shenji spoke with a look of astonishment.
If he was indeed the retainer that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mentioned a few days ago, who must be taken under his wing, then even if this matter was reported to Prince Xue Xing, it would not be a big deal.
With the Crown Prince, who had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School backing him, Prince Xue Xing was nothing to fear.
From His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's remarks a few days ago, Meng Shenji could also tell that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was determined to have this retainer!
Thinking of this, Meng Shenji, under Xue Beng's astonished and confused gaze, ignored the charred bodies of the few noble youths at his feet.
He went up to the perpetrator with a smile on his face and spoke with great joy in his tone.
"You must be Xiao Yu. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already told me about your deeds. What happened today must be a misunderstanding. Xiao Yu, come with me. As for them, I will have others handle it…."
"Then I will trouble Dean Meng Shenji…."
Sun Yu stood up and smiled at Meng Shenji with a slight smile.
Originally, Sun Yu thought that this matter might require Xue Qinghe to personally intervene, but he didn't expect it.
This Meng Shenji was quite sensible.
"Hey, Meng Shenji, what do you mean by this? He is an assassin who almost killed me, a dignified prince! Why don't you immediately execute him on the spot? Instead, you're taking him away like a distinguished guest. What are you trying to do?! Are you trying to betray the Empire?!"
Xue Beng saw that Meng Shenji not only did not immediately execute the boy who almost killed him,
but instead, he welcomed him in with a smile.
He completely ignored his words.
This instantly made Xue Beng's mentality explode, and he immediately roared with a face full of anger.
As for Xue Beng's roar, Meng Shenji also frowned slightly.
Although Xue Beng was a prince, he was not the Crown Prince. A mere prince dared to shout at him, a Spirit Douluo and also a Commissioner of the Academy, which made Meng Shenji quite displeased.
"Noisy…."
"Boom!!"
"Ah!!!"
Just as Meng Shenji was displeased with Xue Beng's words along the way and was about to say a few words,
he only heard Sun Yu, who was beside him, let out a cold snort.
Immediately, Meng Shenji felt a spirit power fluctuation of a Spirit Elder level erupt from behind him.
At the same time, Xue Beng's shrill scream also erupted.
Feeling such a huge change, Meng Shenji immediately turned his head to look and immediately saw Xue Beng, who was covered in a ball of fire from an unknown source and had been directly blasted away by this erupting flame, with a face full of terror.
Xue Beng, who was now slumped on the ground, no longer had the arrogant, domineering, and dissatisfied expression he had just now.
On his face, there was now only a look of shock and fear.
Death, he would die, he would really die. Xue Beng truly felt the taste of death and threat from this ball of fire.
Xue Beng could even imagine that if he dared to say one more word, this ball of fire would not explode beside him.
Instead, it would explode on him.
Once it exploded on him, he would immediately follow in the footsteps of those lackeys.
At this moment, Xue Beng's mind began to recall Prince Xue Xing's advice to him.
Use all means to survive; only by surviving until the end is it possible to reclaim everything you desire…
Therefore, thinking of these words, Xue Beng did not even have the courage to continue speaking.
Feeling the warm liquid flowing from his upper thigh down towards his calves,
tears of fear of death also slowly flowed down Xue Beng's face.
"Xiao Yu, you… Xue Beng is a prince after all, you've gone a bit too far…."
Meng Shenji looked at Xue Beng and then at Sun Yu with a slightly displeased expression.
"Dean Meng Shenji, I am helping you out here. He was just cursing you! As a Commissioner, even if he is a prince, he shouldn't be allowed to insult you so casually, should he?
After all, it's said that strict teachers produce outstanding students, and as a dignified Commissioner of the Academy, it's not appropriate for you to act casually. This junior also saw this point and therefore helped you. Is there something wrong with that…."
Listening to Meng Shenji's displeasure, Sun Yu raised his head and spoke with a hint of confusion on his face.
"Damn it, you…."
Hearing Sun Yu's explanation, Meng Shenji's tone suddenly paused.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This kid, in just a few words, pushed all the responsibility onto himself, dragging him into it.
Making himself an ally in harming Prince Xue Beng.
Good kid, this guy's way of thinking is surprisingly fast.
With his words, he couldn't explain away the yellow mud on his body without jumping into this latrine pit.
"Hehe, Dean Meng Shenji, are you perhaps worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will question you? It's fine, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so reasonable, and as a dignified Commissioner of the Academy, occasionally teaching his disrespectful younger brother a lesson, perhaps His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might even thank you!"
