Dai Yueheng Goes Completely Mad

One of the most painful things in the world was undoubtedly being stabbed in the back by someone you loved.

At that moment, Dai Yueheng felt as if his heart were breaking.

What did she mean by saying he was making trouble for no reason?

What did she mean by saying he was tarnishing Shrek Academy's public image?

He did not understand. He was clearly trying to help Sister Lexuan and carrying out Shrek Academy's secret mission, so how had he become unreasonable? How had he tarnished Shrek Academy's image?

Why had Sister Lexuan said such things about him in public?

His heart hurt more and more. Dai Yueheng's eyes gradually lost focus, but just as the grievance in his heart nearly made him burst into tears, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind. He thought of a possibility:

Could it be that the power behind this spoiled young master was too great, and Sister Lexuan had deliberately said those things to protect him?

Like a drowning man clutching at his last straw, the more Dai Yueheng thought about it, the more convinced he became that this was the case.

After all, Zhang Lexuan, the eldest senior sister of the inner court, was famous for her gentleness. The only reason she was acting so abnormally today had to be because she wanted to protect him!

Oh my god, Sister Lexuan, she really... I'm crying my eyes out!

But I appreciate Sister Lexuan's kindness. Abandoning one's companions is something Shrek students should never do!

With that thought, Dai Yueheng was instantly invigorated again. He looked at Zhang Lexuan with fervent eyes and said:

"Sister Lexuan! Thank you. I understand your difficulties now. You may not know your junior brother that well yet, but that is fine. Please believe in me, Senior Sister. If I want to take you away from the Sun Moon Empire today, no one will be able to stop me!"

Dai Yueheng's tone brimmed with unprecedented confidence. At that moment, Zhang Lexuan was the only one in his eyes, and he subconsciously ignored everyone else around him.

After all, he was a genius student who had entered Shrek's inner court, as well as the legitimate eldest son of the current White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire. His status, background, and strength all far surpassed those of his peers, giving him every reason to be proud.

But the arrogance he displayed had already worn Xu Tianming and the others' patience down to its limit.

Meng Hongchen said, "Brother Tianming, this person is so annoying. Hurry up and deal with him so we can leave, okay? If I have to listen to him brag for even two more sentences, I think I might throw up..."

Although Xiao Xiao had yet to figure out exactly what was going on, she nodded deeply in agreement after hearing Meng Hongchen's words.

Jiang Nannan said nothing, but a deep disgust surfaced in her gaze as she looked at Dai Yueheng.

However, Ye Guyi had the strongest reaction among the girls.

She directly drew the soul tool longsword at her waist and pointed its tip at Dai Yueheng. Though she likewise said nothing, Xu Tianming understood her meaning from her eyes alone:

As long as he gave the order, Ye Guyi would charge forward with her sword without hesitation and chop that bastard to death!

Seeing this, Xu Tianming gently patted Ye Guyi's shoulder.

"Guyi, put your sword away. You won't be needed for this."

"Why?"

"Because he isn't worthy."

Although Ye Guyi was somewhat unwilling, she obediently sheathed her sword.

Ye Guyi's current soul power rank was thirty-five, while Dai Yueheng's was at least above rank fifty. With the enhancement of his Night Soul Domain, Ye Guyi might not necessarily be unable to contend with Dai Yueheng head-on, but Xu Tianming felt that there was simply no need for it.

After all, Ye Guyi's angel martial soul was far too conspicuous. If he displayed an angel martial soul in the middle of the street, would that not be practically announcing to the evil soul masters of the Holy Ghost Cult that he was keeping a soul master with an angel martial soul?

The moment this matter was exposed, who knew how much trouble would follow? Just thinking about it gave Xu Tianming a headache.

Yet in Dai Yueheng's eyes, Xu Tianming's concerns became a sign of cowardice.

"A spoiled brat from a noble family really is disgusting! Even the maid at your side has more backbone than you do! If all the descendants of the Sun Moon Empire's noble families are like you, then I suppose your nation is not far from extinction! Hahahaha!"

Having completely lost his head, Dai Yueheng could no longer be bothered to consider what trouble his words might bring. After all, the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire shared a border and were enemies to begin with. As a descendant of Star Luo nobility, was it not perfectly normal for him to mock a descendant of Sun Moon nobility?

But he did not know that running his mouth in front of Xu Tianming came at a price. Those few arrogant words had completely cut off his path of retreat.

"So what? Is your ability and backbone limited to flapping your gums? When you discovered that the goddess you admired was unwilling to leave with you, you started snapping and biting like a mad dog. The Sun Moon Empire indeed does not have such backbone, nor do we care to possess it."

After hearing Xu Tianming's mocking words, Dai Yueheng was completely enraged.

"Fine, fine, fine! Since you, you spoiled brat, insist on courting death, then I will grant your wish! But don't worry. At most, I'll break the ribs in your body. After all, if you die too easily, Sister Lexuan and I may have much more trouble leaving the Sun Moon Empire!"

Seeing that the conflict between Dai Yueheng and Xu Tianming had reached an irreconcilable point, Zhang Lexuan gave up on trying to mediate between them.

How could Shrek's inner court have such an idiot who cannot even understand human speech?

Forget it. Good advice cannot save someone determined to die. I only hope His Highness will show some restraint later and not have this idiot beaten to death... After all, publicly beating a Shrek inner court student to death would truly make Shrek Academy go mad...

His Highness should know where to draw the line, right?

Just as Zhang Lexuan was considering how to remind him tactfully later, Dai Yueheng had already summoned his Evil-Eyed White Tiger martial soul in the middle of the street. At the same time, he revealed five soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—as his fighting spirit surged.

Yet in the face of Dai Yueheng's aggressive stance, Xu Tianming could not even be bothered to summon his martial soul. Clearly, he had no intention of making a move himself.

The mockery in Dai Yueheng's eyes intensified.

"What, you useless spoiled brat? You don't even have the courage to fight me?"

"No. It is simply that you are not qualified to make me act personally."

After saying that, Xu Tianming turned his gaze toward Zhang Lexuan, whose expression was complicated.

"Why haven't you made your move and suppressed this man?"

Zhang Lexuan froze upon hearing that.

He wanted her to make a move and suppress a Shrek inner court student who had come looking for her?

No matter how she thought about it, that did not seem appropriate!

Yet before she could refuse, a voice that only she could hear sounded by her ear:

"Don't fail to appreciate my kindness. I'm giving you face here. If you suppress him yourself, you can at least control the extent of his injuries. If I have someone else make a move, then it will be hard to say what state he will end up in. I will give you only five seconds to consider it. If you still do not act after five seconds, I will have the guards following in secret take action."
