Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 235 Assassin

Outside the gates of the Royal Academy

Chen Xuan was finally reunited with his daughter and safely picked up Chen Qiu'er, preparing to take her away from this place.

He was holding his daughter, giving off a fatherly vibe. In fact, he was still very young, Xiao Wu was only twenty, while his daughter was seven or eight years old. It would be terrifying to hear that.

Nearby, a group of students who had been watching were dumbfounded, standing there in a daze, stunned by what they saw.

Chen Qiu'er, that wild little devil with a violent personality, the big sister among the lower grades, actually threw herself into someone else's arms and even called that young man "Dad"!

This was such explosive news to them that they could hardly believe their eyes.

The man looked to be at most eighteen years old; they would never believe he was really Chen Qiu'er's father.

The events that unfolded here quickly alerted the teachers at the Royal Academy. Upon hearing that strangers had arrived and were trying to abduct the little tyrant Chen Qiu'er, they were so frightened that they stopped eating and rushed out of the academy immediately.

Finally, even the dean, a Soul Saint level expert, was alarmed and rushed to the main gate along with several teachers.

"Come on, Daddy will take you away from here first." Chen Xuan put down his precious daughter and prepared to take Chen Qiu'er to the Star Luo Palace to thank Davis.

"Mmm!" Chen Qiu'er nodded vigorously, grabbing Chen Xuan's hand to indicate that she would go wherever her father went. Anyway, she was bored at the academy, with no one to play with, so it was no fun at all.

Whoosh whoosh!

However, at that moment, several figures suddenly darted out, quickly surrounding the two and blocking their path.

"Boy, what country are you a spy from, and where do you intend to take her?" An old man walked up aggressively.

He had short, gray hair, a square face, and stared fiercely at Chen Xuan, his tone extremely unfriendly.

The others also looked fierce and hostile, mistaking Chen Xuan for an assassin sent by a certain country.

"It's the dean and Teacher Li! What are they doing here!" exclaimed a nearby student. The dean rarely showed his face, but now he had actually appeared.

Both of them were Soul Saint level experts, possessing immense strength and representing the highest combat power of this Royal Branch.

"Kid, let go of Chen Qiu'er, or don't blame us for being impolite." The middle-aged man named Teacher Li spoke, his eyes flashing coldly.

The others glared at him with hostility, their soul power surging forth. If Chen Xuan dared to make a move, they would unleash their soul skills in the next moment.

"Everyone, is there some misunderstanding between us? I am Qiu'er's father. It's perfectly reasonable for me to come and pick up my daughter." Chen Xuan stated his identity, naturally unwilling to make a move.

At the same time, he was very grateful to Davis, who said that these people were supposed to be protecting his daughter, and now it seemed that each of them was very dedicated and not just going through the motions.

"You're saying you're Qiu'er's father?" Upon hearing this, the teachers burst into laughter as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.

Teacher Li's expression was cold as she said in a chilling voice, "Kid, at least come up with a decent reason. Do you know you're courting death?"

The others also had indifferent expressions. They all knew that Davis had specifically instructed them not to mention Chen Qiu'er's father, who had died years ago, in front of the young girl.

Just as they were about to take action, Chen Qiu'er stepped forward to explain, telling the teachers that this person was her father.

Upon hearing this, everyone's first thought was that the girl had been threatened; otherwise, why would she say such a thing?

Chen Qiu'er is the daughter of Xiao Wu, who is as beautiful as a fairy. This boy in front of them is just an ordinary person. They would never believe that he is the husband of that beautiful fairy.

"Xiao Qiu'er, don't be afraid. If you feel threatened, just blink. With the teachers here, no one will dare to touch you!" Teacher Li said to the dean, staring at Chen Xuan with unfriendly eyes.

Chen Xuan's lips twitched. Did he look like someone who abducted little girls?

The little girl was speechless. Hands on her hips, she pointed at the dean's nose and said, "Dean, Teacher Li, are you both senile? Qiu'er already said this is my father! If you don't believe me, fine!"

Xiao Qiu'er snorted coldly, crossed her arms, raised her head slightly, and looked down at people with arrogance.

Despite her small stature, she had a somewhat spoiled and willful personality, like a big sister, and was not afraid of the teachers at all.

The teachers hesitated. The little witch didn't seem to be under any control. Could this person really be Qiu'er's father? The husband of the beautiful fairy Xiao Wu?

But the age difference... is really hard to believe.

Chen Xuan's eyelids twitched violently. Was this still her obedient daughter? Her personality was exactly the same as Xiao Wu's when she was a child, and she had inherited the bad tradition.

"Everyone, I really am Qiu'er's father. I've been through some trouble these past few years and only recently woke up." He reiterated his identity and explained to everyone that he had encountered a dangerous situation and had been asleep for many years.

After some deliberation, seeing his sincerity and not being like a spy from an enemy country, and with Chen Qiu'er as a witness, the crowd finally believed Chen Xuan's identity.

Even so, they still found it absurd. This man was only eighteen years old, yet he was the father of a seven or eight-year-old girl. It was simply too unbelievable.

Moreover, Xiao Wu, such a stunningly beautiful woman, with a face that could topple kingdoms, should have a husband who was an unparalleled genius, not an ordinary nobody.

Among the teachers, quite a few admired Xiao Wu, pursued her, and expressed their love, only to be ruthlessly rejected.

Now that the husband of the woman they admired has appeared, they feel uneasy, their hearts are heavy, and they are very uncomfortable.

"Sigh, what a waste of talent!" A middle-aged teacher muttered under his breath, then quietly left with the others to prepare for the afternoon's lessons.

Chen Xuan's hearing was now exceptionally good, and he heard everything clearly, which made his face darken. If he didn't know that these people had protected Xiao Qiu'er, he would have taught them a lesson.

"You must be the dean. Thank you for taking care of Chen Qiu'er during this time." He cupped his hands in greeting to the white-haired old man, and then informed him that he was preparing to take Chen Qiu'er away and was now heading to the palace.

Chen Qiu'er waved her little hands excitedly, finally she didn't have to go to school anymore.

"Young friend Chen, I'm afraid that won't work. If you want to take Xiao Qiu'er away, I think you should wait a few more days," the white-haired old man said.

Chen Xuan frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Is there something wrong?"

"Brother Chen, don't misunderstand, it's like this..." Teacher Li stepped forward to explain that there are many spies lurking in Xingluo City who would harm Xiao Qiu'er. They have sent strong people to assassinate Qiu'er many times.

Chen Qiu'er is only truly safe within this academy; if she were to leave, she would undoubtedly be attacked.

"Who are these people? How dare they lay a hand on a little girl? Aren't they ashamed?" Chen Xuan's face turned cold. Although he had heard that his daughter was being targeted, he was still furious when he heard that someone had tried to assassinate Xiao Qiu'er. A surge of anger was boiling in his heart.

In the past, it was one thing if he wasn't around, but now that someone is trying to harm his daughter, he will have to bear the consequences and face the threat of death.

Chen Xuan was eager to find out who was behind this, no matter who it was, even if it was a peerless Douluo powerhouse, he would settle accounts with them.

Teacher Li sighed. Xiao Qiu'er's talent was too good. No one wanted to see her grow up. In the entire Star Luo Imperial City, there were countless giant jaguars crawling around, and there were even terrifying beings close to the title of Douluo.

"Brother Chen, there's no need to be angry. Rest here for a few days while we inform the Crown Prince and he sends Soul Douluo guards to escort you away. That's the safest way," he advised, worried that Chen Xuan might act rashly and seek revenge against those people behind the scenes, which would only bring about his own destruction.

After all, he was too young. Even if he was a genius who appeared only once in a century, he could only cultivate to the Soul Emperor realm at most, and he was no match for those people.

"You mean, the majority of that group are Soul Douluos, and there aren't even any Title Douluos?" Chen Xuan asked, his killing intent undisguised.

"No." Teacher Li was embarrassed and wiped away his cold sweat. He felt that Chen Xuan was too young. There were only a handful of Title Douluo in the entire continent. Which one of them didn't have important matters to attend to and their own pride? Unless there were special circumstances, why would they do something like assassinating someone else?

He sighed and said earnestly, "Brother Chen, you can stay at the academy for now. I will go and send a message to His Highness right now. I believe that within three days at most, a team of Soul Douluos can be dispatched to escort you away."

The white-haired old man shook his head. He observed that Chen Xuan was at most a Soul Emperor, but he was too young and impetuous. If Xiao Qiu'er followed him, she would suffer a great loss sooner or later.
