Faced with Jing Hongchen's question, Qin Xiao merely smiled without answering.
"Dean, you can't kill me..."
Wang Shaojie cried out, "I carry the noble imperial bloodline of our Sun Moon Empire! If I die,
you'll have plenty of trouble on your hands too."
He desperately tried to demonstrate his worth, hoping to save his life.
But...
Jing Hongchen already regarded Qin Xiao as one of his own. Hurting Qin Xiao was no different from hurting a member of his family.
So...
How could Jing Hongchen possibly spare him?
The next instant, powerful soul power erupted from Jing Hongchen's palm, blasting Wang Shaojie straight into ashes.
Once he was done, Jing Hongchen calmly withdrew his hand and said apologetically to Xuan Ziwen, "Teacher Xuan, I'm terribly sorry for making a mess of your laboratory."
Xuan Ziwen shook his head indifferently. "Dean, how do you intend to explain this to the imperial family?"
"Explain?"
Surprise appeared on Jing Hongchen's face. "Why would I need to explain anything?
Wang Shaojie clearly violated operating procedures while making a soul tool and blew up the entire laboratory, blasting himself to pieces. I should be demanding an explanation from the imperial family.
The equipment in the laboratory was all very expensive. The imperial family will have to pay full price for replacements."
At this point, Jing Hongchen asked, "By the way, do you have any outdated laboratory equipment that needs replacing?
I'll request funding for it all in this report... yes, charge everything to Wang Shaojie."
Xuan Ziwen froze. "Well..."
He really did have some aging laboratory equipment...
"Well, what?"
Jing Hongchen waved his hand grandly. "Just tell me what you need. Whatever we spend, Young Master Wang will foot the bill."
Wang Shaojie: "..."
