Yan Yan Would Have to Suffer a Little

Dugu Bo, being open-minded and cheerful, said in an annoyed tone, "Little guy, who's the one being sarcastic?"

"These are all noble children. If something happens, the nobles will definitely impeach us. One or two people are fine, but if the nobles impeach us collectively, Xue Ye won't be able to suppress it."

This is the reality of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The Star Luo Imperial Family firmly grasped the power of discourse in the Imperial Court, but the Heaven Dou Empire could not.

To maintain its rule, the Imperial Family had no choice but to compromise with the nobility.

If they wanted to save Xue Xiang but didn't want her to lose half her life, the best way was to use this favor and have Dugu Bo step in to resolve the issue.

"To destroy someone, you must first make them mad. Just watch, once Prince Xue Xing gains power, he'll leave behind all sorts of leverage against him."

"If there are other options, it's best not to take action against the nobles."

The nobility is the foundation of the empire, Xue Qinghe's reign has been too short to control all the nobles.

At that time, if the empire is thrown into chaos, and the Star Luo Empire takes advantage of the situation, wouldn't we be doing all the work for someone else?

"I'll listen to you. What's the next step?"

"Qin Ming hasn't returned. To keep you in check, the Imperial Family will definitely take your side of the story and get rid of Qin Ming directly. This one-man show won't be easy to pull off."

"Don't go out these next few days. When Qin Ming returns, act in a way that's intriguing and let this matter drop."

Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask, "Weren't we supposed to take this opportunity to take down the Three Education Committee Members?"

With that, Wu Qi gave a cold laugh, "Don't be hasty, this is just the appetizer, the real show is yet to come."

If Qin Ming wants to solve the problem of the competition slots for the Shrek Academy, he will definitely have his eye on the Team Two.

However, the Team Two is already full, so Shrek Academy definitely can't get in.

In order not to lose face in front of his alma mater, Qin Ming will definitely do something outrageous.

The first time, the Three Education Committee Members protected him; but the second time, if someone makes a big deal out of it, the Three Education Committee Members will inevitably be implicated.

At that time, even without Wu Qi lifting a finger, Prince Xue Xing will take a big bite.

"Rome wasn't built in a day, and the process of Xue Xing's thunderstorm is long; we must remain calm!"

Dugu Bo nodded solemnly, "This plan is brilliant, but it will only make things difficult for Yan Yan."

As long as Qin Ming dies, it's fine to make him endure for a while.

He could certainly kill Qin Ming directly, but if he did, Dugu Yan's situation would become precarious.

Dugu Bo was willing to give everything for his granddaughter.

"Oh, by the way, could you give me a map of Sunset Forest? We're going out to Soul Hunting tomorrow."

In front of Sunset Forest, Spirit Beast Town.

"Little Wu, this time Soul Hunting, I'll be the only teacher overseeing things. Is that alright?" Sun Buyu asked nervously.

The Three Education Committee Members were tied up with the Royal Fight Team One and couldn't get away for the time being, so they couldn't protect them.

"If it's a four- or five-thousand-year-old Soul Beast, we can handle it. What's there to be afraid of?" Wu Qi laughed.

In the shadows, there is also the Golden Eagle Douluo.

The overall strength of the Soul Beast in Sunset Forest is far weaker than that in Star Dou Great Forest. As long as they don't enter the core area, Golden Eagle Douluo is more than capable of handling any situation.

With the map provided by Dugu Bo, they could avoid accidentally entering the territory of Soul Beast along the way; as long as they didn't do anything foolish, their safety wouldn't be a problem.

Sun Buyu was still somewhat worried, "How about I invite two Heaven Dou Grade teachers to come and provide support?"

Qiangu Changkong patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Teacher Sun, Wu Ge is very clever. His research on Soul Master theory is no less than that of those senior scholars."

"Most of the time, everything can be done with minimal cost. This time, he said he'd had enough, and that's enough."

Wu Qi rolled his eyes at him, then casually pulled out the map provided by Dugu Bo. "Teacher Sun, I came prepared. Do you believe me now?"

With this map, everything will be fine.

Sun Buyu chuckled dryly, seemingly forgetting the close relationship between the other party and Dugu Bo.

For a moment, he had the urge to ask the Imperial Fighting Team what had happened, but he quickly gave up.

There's no other reason than that the Soul Hunting time is not fixed. If he were to return in a month, Qin Ming and the others would have already come back, and he wouldn't need to ask them to.

Following the Soul Fighting formation, the Royal Fight Team Two entered the forest, while Sun Buyu followed on the flank, ready to provide support at any time.

Within the town, a group of people were secretly watching them closely.

"Boss, is that them?"

The burly man nodded, a ruthless look on his face. "Take the money, do the job quickly."

One of the underlings couldn't help but mutter, "They actually dared to attack people from the Royal Academy. The employer is really bold. What's their background?"

According to imperial law, in Contract Killing, the employer bears the primary responsibility, while those who carry out the orders receive only minor punishment.

When the time comes, they can simply disappear into the forest, and the Empire's law enforcement teams will be powerless against them.

By enacting such a law, the empire naturally hoped to use it to extract information about the person who hired the assassin.

However, even assassins have their own rules!

The burly man roared, "Shut the hell up! Don't break the rules!"

Yu Tianheng rushed to the academy, only to be immediately dragged away by the Three Education Committee Members.

Yu Feng and the others didn't give a complete account of the specific details of that day; Yu Tianheng only knew the general outline.

Based on the information he had, it was indeed Dugu Yan who was being unreasonable. However, Qin Ming's actions were inevitably criticized.

After thinking it over, he adopted a compromise, avoiding offending either side.

The Three Education Committee Members weren't fools. If what Yu Tianheng said was true, Dugu Yan had no reason to return to the academy early, let alone request the Suotuo City Guard to escort her back.

It's clear she felt her personal safety was threatened.

However, the Three Education Committee Members did not believe that Qin Ming would harm his own students.

Further questioning inevitably led to the mention of the Shrek Academy Team.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up that night, Yu Tianheng had a good impression of them and spoke in a way that favored them.

Zhi Lin questioned, "If it were a normal fight that resulted in injuries and a verbal altercation afterward, would it really cause such strong emotions in Yan Zi and Ling Ling? Tian Heng, are you telling the truth or not!"

If Qin Ming were to reveal that Tang San threatened Ye Lingling, wouldn't his plan be ruined?

Compared to Wu Qi and the others, Yu Tianheng preferred to become classmates with the Shrek Six Monsters.

He remained silent about the matter, insisting that it was merely a verbal altercation.

After Yu Tianheng left, the Three Education Committee Members members looked at each other.

"Do you believe it?" Bai Baoshan couldn't help but ask.

Meng Shenji raised an eyebrow. "The issue isn't whether we believe it or not, it's whether His Your Excellency Dugu believes it."

"It's been a whole day and she still hasn't come out. Yan Zi is likely seriously injured, Your Excellency Dugu is treating her wounds and can't leave for the time being."

"If that's the case, no one can withstand His Your Excellency Dugu's revenge; if Prince Xue Xing or even the Imperial Family pursues the matter, Xiao Ming will surely die."

"His Crown Prince intends for us to resolve this ourselves. Zhi Lin to trouble you to make this trip; please bring Xiao Ming back quickly."

"If we had known what happened beforehand, we might still have had a chance to save him."

Qin Ming was not only a valuable talent they valued, but also a "political achievement" presented to Xue Qinghe.

If something goes wrong and they lose their political achievements, their importance in Xue Qinghe's eyes will inevitably decrease.

For the sake of their family's future generations, they must leave an excellent impression on Xue Qinghe before retiring, thus preserving the family's wealth.
