Punishment of Xue Ye

After Jin Hao arrived outside the city, he found a spot to stay for a short while, and then Jin Yi brought the already unconscious Wang Jian before him.

Seeing this scene, Jin Hao spoke up.

"Deal with it, make it clean."

After saying that, Jin Hao used the spirit bone mask to transform himself into an ordinary person and re-entered Heaven Dou City.

Meanwhile, those few people over there were still waiting, but they obviously had already begun to grow somewhat impatient, and one of them spoke up.

"What is going on with this Wang Jian? Why hasn't he brought Xue Beng over yet?"

"Exactly, just how long have we been waiting?"

Just as the group was still complaining, one of the people over there ran up to their side.

Then, he told these people everything that had happened at the Royal Primary Soul Master Academy.

Hearing these words, coupled with the things Wang Jian had done earlier, how could they not understand? The person Dugu Yan mentioned who provided the idea to Xue Beng was none other than Wang Jian.

So a person named Leng Yu spoke up.

"You guys hurry to the city gate and don't let Wang Jian escape. The rest of you come with me to Xue Beng's mansion to find Prince Xue Xing."

With that, the group split into two factions and ran in different directions.

Soon, Leng Yu and a few of his young companions arrived at Xue Beng's mansion. Right now, the entire estate was exceptionally solemn, and the reason naturally was that word had already reached the imperial palace, and Xue Ye also knew what had happened at the academy.

Learning of this news, Xue Ye had been given a huge fright at the time. Clearly, he had already issued warnings that that position could never be handed over to Xue Beng, and even Prince Xue Xing himself had been warned.

Xue Ye originally thought that after his warnings, the two of them would behave themselves a little. He never expected that wretched obstacle Xue Beng would actually want to do such a thing, vainly attempting to completely win over a Title Douluo and the Ye Family, which was renowned for its healing abilities.

Although Xue Ye had also received all the details that could be known from the academy, the academy did not quite believe that this was an idea proposed by Xue Beng's friends. In Xue Ye's view, the shadow of Prince Xue Xing must have existed within this.

Therefore, accompanied by Xue Ye's wrath, an imperial decree also arrived at Xue Beng's mansion.

The general meaning was:

"Xue Beng was originally ordered to be confined to the mansion to reflect upon his own problems, but not only did Xue Beng fail to reflect, he actually dared to sneak out and pull off such a thing that damaged the imperial dignity and caused the royal family to lose all face. Therefore, starting from now, Xue Beng is demoted to a commoner, no longer possessing the identity of an imperial prince. After his injuries heal, he is to leave Heaven Dou City and go to Prince Xue Xing's fief."

Aside from the punishment for Xue Beng, Prince Xue Xing also received a punishment.

"Prince Xue Xing, We trusted you enough to hand Xue Beng over to you for education, but We never expected that you would educate Xue Beng into what he is now. It would be one thing if he were originally just a prodigal, but now he has actually gone and done such a thing. Therefore, Prince Xue Xing is also at fault. In view of the fact that such a thing happened at the Royal Academy under Prince Xue Xing's management, his position as the person in charge of both the Heaven Dou Royal Primary Soul Master Academy and the Heaven Dou Royal Soul Master Academy is revoked, and he is also to remain in the mansion to reflect for seven days."

Following Xue Ye's punishments, there was already worry over the unconscious Xue Beng, and now Xue Beng had his prince status revoked, while his own positions as person in charge of the two academies were also gone. Not only had the human favor of the Title Douluo Dugu Bo been used up, but it had also incurred resentment, and the Ye Family's retaliation had not even arrived yet, meaning they would still have to face the Ye Family's retaliation when the time came.

Thinking of this, after the person delivering the imperial decree left, Prince Xue Xing furiously smashed things all over the courtyard to vent his anger.

Just as Prince Xue Xing was still venting his anger, Leng Yu and a few of his young companions arrived here. The moment they arrived, they caught sight of Prince Xue Xing throwing a fit, which also gave Leng Yu and the others a huge fright.

Seeing these people approach, Prince Xue Xing was furious, because in his view, the matter Xue Beng pulled off was instigated by this group of bad company.

So he opened his mouth and shouted at these people.

"You guys still dare to come look for Xue Beng? If you hadn't fed Xue Beng such rotten ideas, he wouldn't have ended up demoted, nor would he be lying in bed right now just like this."

Faced with Prince Xue Xing's wrath, the few of them were given a big scare. Then, Leng Yu stepped forward first and said to Prince Xue Xing,

"Your Highness, this has nothing to do with us. At most, we just had Xue Beng jump over the wall to come out and play with us, and we never expected these things to happen."

"However, Your Highness, we already know which death-seeking bastard provided the idea to Xue Beng. That person is Wang Jian, the one who usually walks closest to Xue Beng, and his behavior is also extremely suspicious."

Subsequently, Leng Yu told Prince Xue Xing everything about what Jin Hao had done while disguised as Wang Jian.

Prince Xue Xing, who was already furious, heard these words. Knowing Wang Jian's abnormal behavior and how he had taken away a large amount of soul gold coins, he felt that this must mean Wang Jian knew about Xue Beng's situation in the soul master academy and feared that the matter would be exposed, so he had swindled a large sum of money and run away.

Thinking of this, Prince Xue Xing asked,

"How long has Wang Jian been on the run?"

"It has been a while, but when we hurried over here, we sent another group to go block the city gate. If Wang Jian is within Heaven Dou City, he definitely won't be allowed to run off."

Hearing these words, Prince Xue Xing nodded slightly, thinking to himself: This group of good-for-nothings is still somewhat useful!

However, just as this thought had yet to settle in Prince Xue Xing's mind, that group of people who had headed to the city gate also arrived here.

Seeing these few people, Leng Yu asked,

"Didn't I tell you guys to go to the city gate and have the soldiers stop Wang Jian together so he wouldn't escape?"

Hearing these words, those people spoke up.

"We wanted to stop him too, but when we arrived at the city gate and asked the gate-guarding soldiers, we found out that Wang Jian had already left Heaven Dou City long ago, and by now God knows where he has run off to."

"The moment we few learned of this news, we rushed over here to report it."

With these words finished, Leng Yu and the others cast their gazes toward Prince Xue Xing, clearly leaving it up to him to decide what to do next.

Hearing this, Prince Xue Xing was also mulling over a thought: You harmed my nephew to this current state, and you still want to run? That's impossible. Wait until I catch you back and see how I deal with you.

Then, Prince Xue Xing shouted to the guards beside him,

"What are you standing there in a daze for? Hurry up and set off, catch up to that brat, drag him back, and don't let him escape."

Hearing Prince Xue Xing's instructions, those guards nodded, then immediately left Xue Beng's mansion and bolted toward the outside of the city.
