Chapter 55: The Murderer Tang Hao, The Furious Emperor Xue Ye
In the Crown Prince's chambers.
Xue Qinghe listened to Meng Shenji's words, appearing calm on the surface, but feeling quite bewildered inside.
He was curious about how his uncle and brother managed to appear even more like traitors than himself.
"Chairman Meng, perhaps my uncle and brother had their reasons?"
Xue Qinghe said thoughtfully.
"Your Highness, you are just too kind-hearted. We all see the intentions of Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng - to weaken and suppress you."
Meng Shenji grew more indignant as he spoke, "No, I must accuse Prince Xue Xing harshly before His Majesty."
Hearing this, Xue Qinghe said no more.
He knew that Meng Shenji's emotions were stirred, and soon, he would vent his anger before Emperor Xue Ye.
A moment later.
In the main hall of the Tian Dou Imperial Palace.
The emaciated and haggard Emperor Xue Ye was furious:
"What?!"
"Xue Xing and Xue Beng have acted so arrogantly and despotically, turning away a Title Douluo strong enough to lead people to our Tian Dou Royal Academy?"
"Cough, cough, cough"
As he spoke, his chest heaved violently, and he coughed harshly.
Clearly, he was extremely unsettled inside.
"Your Majesty, that's not all. Do you know how young that Title Douluo was? I think he was no more than twenty years old."
Meng Shenji continued, shaking his head and sighing, "Such a talented powerhouse, unable to join our Tian Dou Empire, is truly regrettable."
"Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng have gone too far. If this young powerhouse turns to join the Star Luo Empire or the Spirit Hall, our Tian Dou Empire will not only miss out on an ally but also gain a powerful enemy."
"It must be said that they are unwise. Having such rulers in our empire, I see as a tragedy."
"Your Majesty, I beg you to take back the control of the Tian Dou Royal Academy from Prince Xue Xing. If this continues, our academy will be ruined."
Meng Shenji spoke more and more sorrowfully, venting all his dissatisfaction.
Xue Qinghe was stunned by Meng Shenji's eloquent words.
He didn't expect Meng Shenji to be so effective, completely diminishing Xue Xing and Xue Beng without any need for his embellishment.
"Cough, cough."
"Enough."
Emperor Xue Ye shouted coldly, then called out to the hall: "Summon Prince Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing. I want to ask them personally what their intentions are."
"How could this happen?"
"How did it come to this?"
Elsewhere, in front of the Beast Academy, Meng Yiran in a white dress was shocked.
The Beast Academy, nestled among mountains, though not as grand as the Tian Dou Royal Academy, was dignified and imposing.
But now
What entered Meng Yiran's sight were only ruins.
"No"
She let out a desperate scream and ran wildly into the academy.
When she stood atop the rubble, she was struck as if by lightning.
"Grandma."
She spotted the fallen Madam Snake and trembled as she called out.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Her legs felt as heavy as lead.
With each step, she staggered.
Finally, Meng Yiran reached Madam Snake, her body slowly collapsing to the ground.
Although Madam Snake was long dead, her eyes remained open.
In them, Meng Yiran saw despair and reluctance.
"Wuwuwu"
"Grandma, what happened? Can you tell me?"
Meng Yiran held the cold body of the snake witch, crying helplessly, feeling as if her world had collapsed.
"Cough, cough, cough"
"Yi, Senior Sister Yiran"
Suddenly, a faint voice, broken and intermittent, sounded.
"Who?"
Meng Yiran turned around and saw a person who had been 'dead for a long time' struggling a bit.
Immediately.
She put down the snake witch and quickly went over to the Demon Beast Academy student.
"Junior brother, it's me. Tell me, what happened?"
She asked urgently.
"External attached soul bone. Murder, Haotian Sect, Tang... Hao."
After uttering a few words with great effort, the Demon Beast Academy student exhausted all his strength.
And with that, his life ended.
Deep in the night.
Inside the Tian Dou Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty, you are unwell, why are you still not resting at this late hour?"
"Whatever it is, we can discuss it tomorrow as well."
Prince Xue Xing looked at Emperor Xue Ye on the throne with concern.
"Father, please take care of your health."
Xue Beng quickly agreed.
In reality, both knew very well that being summoned late at night was not for a late-night snack.
Looking at Xue Qinghe and Meng Shenji, it was obvious why the Emperor had called them. It must be related to the annoying Shrek Academy from earlier in the day.
"Hehe, Xue Xing, do you think I can sleep tonight?"
"Cough, cough."
Emperor Xue Ye laughed coldly, but then started coughing again.
He couldn't help it.
He was just too angry.
The Tian Dou Empire was already lacking its own powerful individuals, and finally, when such a person with immense potential appeared, these two had rejected him.
Nobody knew that he had already coughed up blood in secret.
"Brother, don't be angry, listen to my explanation."
"We really didn't know that among those people was a Titled Douluo."
Prince Xue Xing hurriedly explained.
Ignorance is not a sin, he understood well that he needed an unbeatable reason.
"Fine, even if you didn't know about the Titled Douluo among them, but there were several Soul Saints and Soul Emperors, aren't they worth recruiting?"
"Besides, there were some twelve-year-olds who had reached over level 25 Great Soul Master, aren't they valuable?"
Emperor Xue Ye then posed two more questions.
"Ah, this..."
Prince Xue Xing's face changed, completely at a loss for words.
He knew Emperor Xue Ye was right, whether it was Soul Emperor or Soul Saint powerhouses, or even young talents, they were all worth recruiting.
Even if these people had come to his Prince's mansion, he would not just treat them as honored guests, he would even offer at least twice the salary that the Tian Dou Royal Academy would.
The reason he did this was entirely because these people had chosen the wrong side, not standing with him but with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, and that was the fundamental reason for his suppression.
"Father, those people also beat your son."
"Royal Uncle was just trying to maintain the royal family's dignity."
Seeing Prince Xue Xing unable to speak, Xue Beng immediately spoke up, trying to defend Prince Xue Xing.
After all, he was the one who got beaten, an indisputable fact.
Even Prince Xue Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Xue Beng's support was timely.
However, Emperor Xue Ye became even angrier, and laughed out of anger.
"Hahaha."
"Xue Beng, you still have the face to talk about dignity with me?"
"In these years, your eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and swindling have almost covered everything. Go ask around the entire Tian Dou City, who doesn't know that you, Xue Beng, are the number one playboy of Tian Dou City? I ask you, do you still have any dignity?"
"Don't even mention yourself, even my dignity has been lost by you."
