Xuan Hao said righteously, "I'll go back after I've completely settled things here at Tian Dou, or... after I've figured out the most proper way to kneel and beg for mercy!"
"Tell her I'm on a secret mission outside, dedicating myself to the cause of the Spirit Hall, and I can't get away for the time being!"
Yue Guan and the Ghost: "..."
What you call "dedicating yourself to the utmost" is just collecting protection money at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy?
"Little ancestor, don't be naive."
Yue Guan, with a bitter face, plopped down opposite Xuan Hao, her tone more serious than ever before:
“We have reported every detail of your actions in Tiandou City, including the Self-Improvement Association you set up at Tiandou Royal Academy, the protection fees you collected, and even your interactions with girls like Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.”
"In other words, His Holiness the Pope knows perfectly well what you've been doing here!"
"So what?" Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow. "I didn't do anything outrageous, did I? I just earned some pocket money and expanded my network along the way, right?"
"The problem lies in connections!"
Ghost picked up the conversation, lowering his voice as he said:
"You've made a name for yourself at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, keeping those noble children completely under your thumb. And the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is not only the face of Emperor Xue Ye, but also one of the core strengths of that Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe."
"Now you not only dominate the academy, but you've also got ties to the royal family, and even Dugu Bo, a royal retainer, is getting so close to you..."
"In Your Majesty's eyes, this signal takes on a different meaning."
The ghost gave Xuan Hao a deep look and said, word by word:
"Your Majesty is probably now suspicious... that you have been won over by Xue Qinghe? Or perhaps you are trying to get closer to that Crown Prince?"
"what?!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Hao nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with utter injustice:
"What the hell?!"
"I didn't hang out with Qian... cough, Xue Qinghe at all, okay?!"
"I've never been to the Crown Prince's residence! I've barely even seen the Crown Prince himself more than a few times! How could I be hanging out with him?!"
"It's no use for us to believe you; we need His Majesty's belief."
Yue Guan sighed and shrugged helplessly.
"As you know, Your Majesty and that person over there... have a very strained relationship."
Qian Renxue represents the Elder Hall, the interests of the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu, and is the successor of the Angel lineage.
Bibidon represents the interests of the papacy. Although they coexist peacefully on the surface, the behind-the-scenes competition between the two sides has never stopped over the years.
"You are His Majesty's disciple, His Majesty's successor personally groomed, and are even expected to be established as a Holy Son in the future."
"If Her Majesty feels that you, the fledgling eagle on which she placed such high hopes, have only flown a few days before turning around and flying to the enemy's branch..."
Yue Guan's expression was somewhat unnatural:
"The consequences... I don't need to say more, do I?"
Xuan Hao caused Bibi Dong to lose two 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Such a big thing would make anyone kill him, but Bibi Dong endured it.
Afterwards, while Xuan Hao was still in solitary confinement, he secretly ran away from Wuhun City, and Bibi Dong still tolerated this.
Ultimately, it's because Bibi Dong considered Xuan Hao her person, her disciple whom she raised. The child didn't know his place, so at worst she would discipline him and teach him slowly. As for killing him, Bibi Dong couldn't bear to do it.
But if Xuan Hao leans towards Qian Renxue and sides with the Angel lineage, then things will change drastically!
The more lenient Bibi Dong was with Xuan Hao before, the more determined she would be to kill him next!
Chapter 75 Two fists can't beat four hands
……
The next morning, the sun rose.
With Na'er in tow, golden dragon wings unfurled behind them, Xuan Hao streaked across the sky above Tian Dou City like a shooting star, heading straight for the Tian Dou Royal Academy.
His mind was racing the whole way.
Although Yue Guan's words last night sounded frightening, upon analysis, they actually boiled down to one core point: taking sides.
Bibi Dong is a woman with an extremely strong desire for control. She can tolerate your mischievousness and even your occasional rebellion, but she will never tolerate your infidelity.
Especially when it comes to issues involving the Qian family or the Angel lineage, those are her absolute taboos.
Therefore, he also knew how to gloss over the matter.
We need to make a big fuss about this, and make a huge commotion in Tiandou City.
This made it clear to Bibi Dong that he would not associate with Qian Renxue.
If necessary, he would beat up Qian Renxue.
But he couldn't just beat her up for no reason; he had to provoke Qian Renxue first, so that she would come to him and think about teaching him a lesson.
Then he acted in self-defense, which would put Bibi Dong at ease without offending Qian Renxue too much, lest the old man from the Hall of Worship target him.
But what opportunity should we look for?
It seems that nothing serious has happened at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. He beat up and taught those noble children a lesson, and now they are all more obedient than grandsons, with not a single troublemaker left.
This is probably what they mean by "how lonely it is to be invincible," right? I should have known better than to have dealt with them so badly back then. It would have been better to leave a few troublemakers to occasionally jump out and cause some trouble.
As he was thinking this, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy below came into clear view.
Xuanhao retracted his dragon wings and landed steadily in the square in front of the main teaching building.
As soon as she landed, before Na'er could even stand up straight, a purple figure rushed over in a great hurry.
"Xuanhao! You've finally arrived!"
"what happened?"
Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow. "So soon? Is there another troublemaker in the academy? Or is some reckless freshman trying to challenge my authority?"
If that's the case, that would be wonderful! I was just wondering what reason I had to throw a tantrum!
"no!"
Dugu Yan shook her head, grabbed Xuan Hao's hand, and ran towards the training ground. "Our people were beaten up outside!"
"You were beaten up?"
Xuan Hao was taken aback, but he didn't stop walking. "In this Heaven Dou City, there are still people who dare to mess with the people from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? These second-generation nobles are already good enough if they don't bully others, but they can't be bullied?"
"Oh dear, this is a long story. You'll find out once you come with me!"
……
The Heavenly Dou-level training ground.
This is the highest-level training ground for students of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, and it is also a gathering place for those top noble children.
But at this moment, the place is shrouded in gloom and despair.
A dozen or so students dressed in the uniforms of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy sat dejectedly on the ground, some with bruises on their faces and others with bandages wrapped around their hands.
Seeing Xuan Hao enter, the group seemed to see a savior, and they instantly perked up, especially the guy who had been beaten the worst, with half his face swollen like a pig's head. He rushed over, crying and wailing, with snot and tears streaming down his face:
"President! You've finally arrived! You must stand up for us!"
"We...we've been bullied terribly!"
Xuan Hao took a step back with some disgust, avoiding the hand that wanted to hug his leg.
"Alright, alright, let's talk this out, stop with this nonsense."
Xuan Hao frowned, his gaze sweeping over the group of wounded. "What happened? Who did this?"
"It's those peasants from Blue Tyrant Academy!"
The student gritted his teeth and said, "Yesterday morning, we went to the city gate for our morning run training as you instructed. As you know, although Doucheng isn't far from here, it's still dozens of kilometers round trip, and we had to carry heavy loads and weren't allowed to use our soul power..."
"By the time we reached the city gate, we were exhausted, like dead dogs."
"And then! Just then, we ran into a few students from Blue Tyrant Academy who were returning from hunting spirit rings. When they saw us panting there, they started making sarcastic and mocking remarks!"
"What are you saying, 'These are the so-called royal elites? They're out of breath after running just a few steps, they're just a bunch of good-for-nothings'? 'Nobles are just pampered and spoiled, they can't do anything but eat, drink and have fun'..."
"We were furious, so we said a few words back. Without saying a word, they attacked us!"
"We were exhausted and our soul power hadn't recovered. Plus, the enemy outnumbered us and had several Soul Masters... that's why we were beaten like this."
"Blue Tyrant Academy..."
Xuan Hao narrowed his eyes, and information about the academy quickly surfaced in his mind.
Blue Tyrant Academy is a newly built advanced soul master academy in Tiandou City in recent years. The dean of this academy is a soul emperor, and is also the killing corner of the famous Golden Iron Triangle that was famous throughout the continent a few years ago, Liu Erlong. Moreover, she has the background of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which can be heard from the name of this academy.
However, this academy is the exact opposite of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy; they only recruit commoner soul masters and reject all nobles.
"That's interesting."
Xuan Hao's lips curled into a playful smile.
I was just worried about not finding an excuse to cause trouble, and now this has come to me.
The fact that Blue Tyrant Academy attacked the people from Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is not just a brawl between students, but a clash between commoners and nobles, and between emerging and established forces.
If I can make good use of this opportunity and escalate things...
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Xuan Hao waved his hand, displaying the imposing manner of a gangster boss disciplining his underlings, pointed at the wounded men still groaning on the ground, and turned to Dugu Yan, saying:
"Immediately! Right now! Gather all the students in the entire school!"
"Whether you're at the Heavenly Battle level, Heavenly Supreme level, or Heavenly Subtle level, as long as you're still breathing and your legs aren't broken, gather everyone in the main square!"
"Huh?" Dugu Yan was taken aback. "Summon the entire school? What are you going to do?"
"What?"
Xuan Hao sneered and said matter-of-factly, "Of course we're going to cause trouble!"
"What is the founding principle of our Tiandou Self-Strengthening Association? It's to avoid being bullied! It's to strive for self-improvement! Now that our people have been beaten up outside, if we don't even say a word, how am I supposed to lead the team in the future? Don't we have any shame?"
