Although he knew about some of the problems within his academy, he had never imagined anyone could be this stupid!
They had actually offended someone so casually without even knowing who they were!
Didn't they know that the younger someone was, the less they could afford to offend them?
After all, beat the young, and the old would come knocking. That was common knowledge!
The elderly man in the lead barely suppressed his anger as he looked at the noble students sprawled to one side, his eyes blazing with fury.
"Was everything he said true?"
The young man in the lead had wanted to offer an explanation, but a fierce glare from the elderly man made him shrink back, his gaze wavering.
But when he thought about it, admitting to this would surely leave him in a terrible position.
If he flatly denied it, however, he might still have a thread of hope!
"I didn't... I didn't do any of those things! This brat is framing me!"
As he spoke, he pointed toward Yu Tianlong, his eyes filled with a wronged look.
Anyone who didn't know the truth might actually have been fooled!
Seeing him turn the spearhead toward him, Yu Tianlong felt rather helpless. What on earth was all this?
Did he really think everyone else was blind?
Ning Rongrong was also full of questions and anger at that moment, and she looked toward the young man in the lead along with Chen Xin.
Wasn't this too ridiculous?
Both Ning Rongrong and Chen Xin laughed in anger.
"So you're saying I misunderstood you?"
As he spoke, sharp Sword Qi continuously radiated from him.
The young man was instantly frightened speechless, his lips trembling nonstop.
How could the elderly man fail to tell what was true and what was false?
All he could do was sigh helplessly before slowly bowing to Chen Xin and the others.
"Your Excellency Sword Douluo, this was a failure on the part of our Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and it has given you an unpleasant experience. I apologize to you on behalf of the academy."
Although the elderly man knew that the other party might not accept an apology of this degree, he still had to show the proper attitude. He could not neglect etiquette.
Especially before such a powerful Soul Master.
Faced with the elderly man's humble apology, Chen Xin paid it little heed. He had come to demand an accounting.
This was not something that could be settled with just a few simple words of apology.
After all, strength meant being able to do as one pleased. Otherwise, what had he cultivated for?
Besides, if others learned that he accepted apologies so easily, wouldn't they think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was easy to bully?
But even though Chen Xin had his own thoughts, he still lowered his head toward his granddaughter and spoke slowly.
"Rongrong, do you want to forgive them?"
Ning Rongrong looked at the man lying on the ground, coughing up blood under the pressure of his presence, and gave a contemptuous smile.
"Grandpa Sword, if you weren't here, who knows how much trouble Brother Long and I would have faced? It's not as though you didn't see the way this man was looking at me just now. It was utterly disgusting!"
Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, the elderly man had only just opened his mouth when Chen Xin cut him off.
"Enough, Meng Shenji. You needn't say anything more. You already know exactly what happened. Now I want these youngsters who mocked my granddaughter and grandson dead. You have no objections, I take it?"
After giving the young man lying on the ground a complicated look, Meng Shenji sighed helplessly and slowly replied.
"Mm."
In truth, Meng Shenji felt quite distressed. Although the young man was not his own student, he was still a student of this academy. No teacher would abandon their students.
This incident could be treated as a major matter or a minor one, but that ultimately depended on what the other party wanted. After all, there was a gap in their strength!
He had done everything he could. If anyone was to blame, it was these noble children for courting death themselves!
Besides, now that this had happened, he did not even know how he would account for it.
After receiving that answer, Chen Xin did not continue making things difficult for Meng Shenji and the others.
After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family were rather friendly allies.
One could even say they wore the same pair of trousers!
But the young man lying on the ground and those behind him who had mocked them earlier did not see it that way.
They began screaming frantically.
"No, no! You can't treat us like this! We serve Prince Xue Beng! I don't want to die!"
"I'm a noble of the Heaven Dou Empire, too! You can't do this! You can't do this!"
Chen Xin laughed when he heard that.
Given his status, what would it matter if he killed them?
The Heaven Dou Imperial Family would not even say anything.
After all, these students were in the wrong to begin with!
Strength was what mattered most in this world!
After witnessing this scene, Yu Tianlong's desire to grow stronger became even more intense.
As the young man continued screaming, Chen Xin's brows furrowed slightly.
"Noisy!"
An immense pressure instantly crushed his body to pieces!
After seeing this disgusting fellow die, a smile appeared at the corners of Ning Rongrong's lips.
She even turned and winked at Yu Tianlong, as though asking whether she was impressive.
Yu Tianlong did not know whether to laugh or cry at the sight. She truly lived up to being a little witch!
He could only admit he fell short.
After dealing with this matter and this young man, Chen Xin killed the others as well.
Only then did the atmosphere ease.
Chen Xin exchanged a few casual words with Meng Shenji and the others, showing none of his earlier demeanor, as though he had not been the one who had just killed those people!
While chatting with Chen Xin, Meng Shenji also learned the name of the boy beside Ning Rongrong.
From then on, his attention remained on Yu Tianlong.
Recalling His Majesty's instructions and the importance he placed on Yu Tianlong, Meng Shenji felt somewhat relieved.
A few rat droppings had not spoiled a whole pot of good soup!
Seeing this, Chen Xin did not continue chatting with Meng Shenji and the others.
Instead, he looked at Ning Rongrong and Yu Tianlong and spoke earnestly.
"Since you've both decided to attend Heaven Dou Royal Academy, look after each other. You're about the same age, so stay in the same class."
After speaking, Chen Xin turned to look at Meng Shenji.
Meng Shenji naturally agreed. This was hardly a major matter.
Even if Chen Xin had not mentioned it, he would have made the arrangements.
How could geniuses be taught alongside those mediocrities?
Afterward, Chen Xin did not stay any longer. After saying goodbye to Ning Rongrong, he left directly, though before leaving, he gave Meng Shenji a long, meaningful look.
Meeting Chen Xin's gaze, Meng Shenji forced a faint smile onto his face. Only then did Chen Xin leave.
Only after Chen Xin had gone did Meng Shenji breathe a sigh of relief.
He relaxed considerably.
Looking gently at Yu Tianlong and Ning Rongrong, he spoke slowly.
"Let me introduce myself first. What happened earlier was indeed a failure on our academy's part. I'll take you to register now."
For a Soul Douluo to go this far, even bowing to members of the younger generation, was already quite remarkable.
Whatever his reasons, it was worthy of a second look.
Please keep reading, everyone! Don't stockpile chapters. I didn't advance, so there won't be any more recommendations coming up. Boo-hoo-hoo.
