Lodging a Complaint

The brief interlude passed, and the graduation ceremony concluded as scheduled.

Ning Chengyi didn't take this matter to heart at all.

But for Tang Yuehua, it was quite an annoyance.

However, with Ning Chengyi by his side, the matter faded considerably.

Xue Mingyan felt an unprecedented humiliation.

After leaving Moonlight Pavilion, they headed straight for the Xue Beng site.

At this moment, inside the main hall of the Xue Beng, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan were still sitting.

"The Imperial Fighting Team's defeat in the last battle wasn't entirely unjustified, but when did such a powerful force appear in Suotuo City?"

"Let's not talk about it anymore. So much time has passed, and during this time, we've also realized our shortcomings. Next, we need to find the Heavenly Apex Class for another sparring match."

Yu Tianheng had regained his spirited demeanor.

But there was a hint of vicissitude in his eyes, a sense of relief that came after experiencing great things.

"Sister Yanyan, I heard someone asked you about Ning Chengyi?"

Xue Beng looked at Dugu Yan standing behind Yu Tianheng, then changed the subject and asked.

"That's right. After we lost, we casually mentioned that he defeated the enemy with a single shot, etc. Among their Shrek Seven Devils, there was a woman who went by the alias Hell Spirit Cat, but we learned from our private conversations that her real name was Zhu Zhuqing."

"Moreover, this person seems to care quite a bit about Ning Chengyi. After asking me a few questions, he seemed to have confirmed Ning Chengyi's identity and asked me to pass on a message."

Dugu Yan recalled the scene after the battle in Suotuo City, when a girl named Zhu Zhuqing came looking for him.

"Oh, that's interesting. Such a young girl, yet she's still thinking about His Highness the Crown Prince Prince's friend?"

Xue Beng looked somewhat interested, though he hadn't had time to ask before.

Now that I finally have the time to inquire about the whole story, I naturally become curious.

"That woman also asked me to pass on a message, but Ning Chengyi has been staying at the Moonlight Pavilion and hasn't had the chance, so I haven't said anything."

"Hahaha, no wonder the Crown Prince takes such good care of this person." Xue Beng laughed heartily, revealing a knowing look, his eyes filled with amusement, and he became even more curious about Ning Chengyi.

Unfortunately, he had been busy with other things and had not been able to meet Ning Chengyi.

"This person is very capable, at least more capable than I was back then," Yu Tianheng exclaimed.

Dugu Yan nodded in agreement.

"Tian Heng, so it seems you're confident about challenging the Heavenly Apex Class next?"

"Victory is inevitable."

After the battle with the Shrek Seven Devils, he had complete confidence in his team.

Moreover, the Imperial Team's loss cannot be entirely blamed on the team itself.

Furthermore, it also reflects the responsibilities of their teachers.

If it weren't for Qin Ming and his group, they wouldn't have lost.

"Did Qin Ming invite them to our Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?"

Xue Beng asked curiously.

"Yes, we should be arriving soon."

Yu Tianheng replied, after all, the competition had already been over for nearly two months.

At their pace, it should be about time.

Just as the three were chatting, a scream suddenly came from outside the door.

"Your Highness, I've been bullied..."

The three of them looked out.

Xue Mingyan stumbled in, his face filled with grief and indignation.

"What happened?" Xue Beng looked at Xue Mingyan, who was covered in injuries, stood up, and asked.

Xue Beng listened to his embellished account of the events, his brows furrowing deeply. "You mean Ning Chengyi shot you in front of the people from the Moonlight Pavilion?"

"Fourth Prince, this isn't just a slap in the face to Xue Mingyan, it's a slap in the face to the entire Xue Family!" Xue Mingyan clutched his chest, grimacing. "That brat even said something like, 'The grandson of Prince Xue Xing is only capable of this much,' I..."

Xue Beng raised his hand to interrupt him, and thought for a long time with a serious face.

Ning Chengyi Xue Qinghe's man; who in Heaven Dou City doesn't know that?

To threaten Ning Chengyi is to threaten the Crown Prince. Xue Beng isn't stupid enough to openly challenge Xue Qinghe.

Moreover, since Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan were both present, he looked at the two of them.

"Ask Tian Heng what he means."

Upon hearing the Xue Beng, Xue Mingyan looked at the two people beside him.

"Tian Heng, tell me what to do."

Yu Tianheng looked at Xue Mingyan but did not answer. Instead, he held his wine glass and remained silent for a long time.

"Brother Yu, please say something!" Xue Mingyan said anxiously, wringing his hands.

Yu Tianheng slammed his wine glass on the table, his face grim. "We can't beat them."

"What?"

"I fought Ning Chengyi during the Heavenly Apex Class. He was only level seventeen then, and his Soul Skill were unorthodox; his First Soul Ring was a thousand years old. Now, two and a half years have passed, and I don't know his current level, but I've suffered losses against him before, so I'm not confident."

Yu Tianheng was a straightforward person; if he couldn't win, he couldn't win. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's reputation was important, but charging in knowingly when they were outmatched would only lead to greater embarrassment.

Xue Mingyan choked.

He hadn't expected Yu Tianheng to back down so readily.

The Xue Beng was also stunned.

That's not what Yu Tianheng just said.

Suddenly, Dugu Yan, who had been silent all along, chuckled softly.

She held her teacup, her emerald eyes darting around twice, and slowly said, "I have an idea."

She sensed something else in Yu Tianheng's words.

It wasn't that Yu Tianheng was admitting defeat, but rather that he was assessing Ning Chengyi's current strength.

Outsiders all know Xue Mingyan as a playboy, but only those who know him well understand that his strength is extraordinary.

But one shot took him down.

Yu Tianheng dared not gamble on just how strong Ning Chengyi, now possessing the strength of Soul Elder, truly was.

Especially after challenging the Heavenly Apex Class.

It seems that we need to plan again.

However, when Gudu Yan spoke, Yu Tianheng was somewhat surprised.

"What idea is it, Sister Yanyan? Please tell me." Xue Mingyan immediately showed a pleading look, completely unlike her arrogant and domineering demeanor in the Moonlight Pavilion.

"Wait a moment."

Under the curious gazes of the three, Dugu Yan walked to the desk on her own, spread out her brush and ink, and began to write on the paper.

"Give this to Ning Chengyi; I'll test his current strength first."

"Okay." Having received Dugu Yan's letter, Xue Beng and Yu Tianheng showed no curiosity whatsoever, but Xue Mingyan was very curious.

"Sister Yanyan, is what's written here really useful?"

"Of course, you can take it. I'll get revenge for you later."

Dugu Yan was very confident because the message in the letter contained the words of Zhu Zhuqing.

Dugu Yan believed that as long as Ning Chengyi knew this person, he would definitely come looking for her.

"Good."

Xue Mingyan received Dugu Yan's affirmative answer, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he still put the letter away, glanced at Xue Beng, and left.

"Yanzi, are you really confident?" Yu Tianheng asked with some worry, recalling Ning Chengyi's strange behavior before, and feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Leave it to me, I'm going back to prepare."

"Okay." Xue Beng was also very curious whether Ning Chengyi could escape unscathed from Dugu Yan's clutches again.

However, we can only get definite information about this matter after Dugu Yan has carried it out.

"Your Highness, I shall take my leave as well."

After watching Dugu Yan leave, Yu Tianheng also took his leave.

After the Xue Beng took them away, he picked up the information about the Shrek Seven Devils that he had compiled earlier, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and began to read it carefully.
