Is Chief Meng Shenji here?
The voice outside the door was loud and clear, full of confidence. But there was a hint of arrogance in it; it wasn't exactly overbearing, but it was certainly not humble or polite.
Meng Shenji was taken aback. He naturally recognized the voice and wondered to himself, "Why is he here?" He quickly stood up and went out to greet him. Two education committee members followed behind him, and their expressions seemed to have changed slightly.
"Hmm? Did Xue Beng call Xue Xing here to get revenge on me?"
Jun Yi naturally recognized the voice outside the door; it was none other than Prince Xue Xing, the younger brother of the current Xue Ye.
Xue Xing was dressed in magnificent attire. She wore a large yellow robe embroidered with clusters of flowers, yet it appeared perfectly neat. Her gray hair was neatly combed back. She was of medium build, slightly overweight, and her appearance was somewhat unsavory. However, her eyes were rather small, which detracted from the overall harmony of her features.
Standing with his hands behind his back, he showed no respect whatsoever, even towards the three Soul Douluo instructors, instead exuding an air of superiority.
"Your Highness, what brings you here?" Meng Shenji stepped forward and bowed slightly to Prince Xue Xing.
" Education Committee Member Meng, I'm here today because of the Xue Beng."
Prince Xue Xing got straight to the point, pointing directly to the timid Xue Beng standing behind him.
"What is it?" Meng Shenji asked, unaware of what had happened at the school gate.
" Xue Beng, you tell us yourself," Prince Xue Xing said to Xue Beng behind him.
Xue Beng slowly walked forward, faced Jun Yi, bowed to him, and said, " Jun Yi, I was wrong before, and I apologize to you."
"Ah?"
Jun Yi was surprised that Xue Beng apologized to him. He had originally thought that Xue Beng had sent Xue Xing to back him up, but it turned out that Xue Beng had come to apologize instead.
"I apologize for preventing you from entering the academy and verbally abusing you without understanding the situation. I hope you can forgive me."
Xue Beng's expression looked sincere, yet tinged with a hint of fear.
As soon as Xue Beng finished speaking, Xue Xing immediately added, " Xue Beng was indeed in the wrong. I've already reprimanded him, and I hope you won't take it to heart."
"Hmm." Seeing that the two of them were acting in unison, Jun Yi realized that they had obviously rehearsed the conversation. It wasn't convenient to break off relations with Xue Xing at this point, so he accepted Xue Beng's apology.
"Alright, since the apology has been accepted, then Xue Beng and I will take our leave. You may continue." With that, Prince Xue Xing turned and left, followed closely by Xue Beng, as they exited the Education Committee office.
After the two left, Meng Shenji and the other two education committee members curiously asked Jun Yi what had happened at the school gate. Jun Yi Xue Beng provoked him for no reason.
"That's how it is. Perhaps because I haven't been back to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace for so long, Xue Beng naturally didn't recognize me."
Jun Yi said slowly, his aura indicating that he and Xue Beng were not familiar with each other. They had only met a few times in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, so it was normal for Xue Beng not to recognize Jun Yi.
"Alas, both are His Majesty's children, yet Your Highness Qinghe is not only gentle and refined, but also compassionate towards the people, and not arrogant despite his talent. In contrast, Xue Beng..."
Meng Shenji shook his head and sighed, unwilling to continue.
"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. Jun Yi, let me show you around the campus. Even though you won't be staying here for a while, it'll be good for you to get familiar with it first."
After saying this, Meng Shenji stood up, led Jun Yi out of the Education Commission office, and began to introduce the campus...
To avoid the limelight, Xue Beng followed Xue Xing onto the carriage back to the palace. In the carriage, Xue Xing quietly watched Xue Beng, and then sighed.
" Xue Beng, you've really lost your mind this time, actually provoking Jun Yi."
"Uncle, how was I supposed to know that a boy who suddenly appeared at the academy gate was Jun Yi, who hadn't returned to the palace for many years? This time, I've truly been outsmarted."
Xue Beng's face was full of helplessness. He had only wanted to pretend to be a playboy, but he didn't expect to run into a brick wall.
"This was your oversight. You should have been able to guess his identity when he said he wanted to enroll. Even if you hadn't, you should have asked him why. Your reckless actions could disrupt all our plans," Xue Xing said calmly.
"Although Jun Yi is just a commoner, his talent is extremely high. It can be said that in all the years that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has been established, it has never seen a genius like him. And coincidentally, Xue Qinghe has recognized him as his sworn brother."
"And Xue Qinghe kept whispering in your father's ear, intentionally or unintentionally praising Jun Yi's talent, which made your father take that lowly commoner seriously, and thus offered generous conditions just to keep him."
After listening to Xue Xing's analysis, Xue Beng was quite troubled, as he didn't know how to deal with what would happen next.
"Uncle, what should I do?" Xue Beng asked.
"This matter will reach Xue Qinghe's ears sooner or later. He dotes on this sworn brother, so he will inevitably try to trip you up, but it won't endanger your Life. Just accept it," Xue Xing said calmly.
"As for Jun Yi, hmph, a bastard who was picked up from who-knows-where, yet he dares to act arrogantly among our royal family. Since Xue Qinghe values this sworn brother so much, then let's make him sad first."
Xue Xing's expression gradually turned cold, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
"You mean..."
"A genius who doesn't grow up isn't a genius at all. Even the brightest star will eventually fall; it's just a matter of time. Jun Yi, this dazzling star, might just be a fleeting shooting star in the sky."
Xue Xing had already made up his mind to eliminate Jun Yi. However, to make a young genius disappear from the world silently without anyone noticing, only Titled Douluo could accomplish this. Fortunately, Xue Xing was acquainted with a Titled Douluo, making him the perfect person to handle this task...
Jun Yi followed Meng Shenji on a tour of the entire campus, after which Meng Shenji led Jun Yi toward a courtyard.
On the way, Meng Shenji said to Jun Yi, "I heard from Your Highness Qinghe that you will be representing the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, and the next one will be held in three years, which is perfect for you to participate."
"It's just that participating in the first competition at your age is a bit of a disadvantage. You'll even have to face Soul Master who Admiral than you. But with your talent, there shouldn't be any trouble."
Meng Shenji laughed heartily, praising Jun Yi, saying that with Jun Yi's current talent, he would at least reach the Soul Ancestor level in three years, and his strength would definitely improve significantly. Even when facing some high-level Soul Master, he believed Jun Yi would not be at a disadvantage...
