After saying goodbye to Qin Ming, Jun Yi Jun Yi finished his lunch in the cafeteria and left the academy. He boarded a carriage and prepared to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School. After all, he would definitely talk to Ning Fengzhi about Ning Rongrong when he returned, and also tell him about his future plans.
The carriage swayed and bumped along the street. Jun Yi could see from the carriage window that Heaven Dou City was still as prosperous as ever, much more bustling than Spirit City. Along the main road, pedestrians came and went in an endless stream, and shops lined both sides, selling all kinds of things, a dazzling array.
"Hmph, do you even know who I am? You refused me, so I had my father chop off your head."
"Hmph, little sister, you're so pretty! Would you like to be friends with me?"
Just as Jun Yi was admiring the beautiful scenery, he suddenly heard several shouts and curses. The voices were particularly sharp and piercing, and the owner of the sharp voices seemed somewhat familiar.
"Wait... isn't that Xue Beng sound?"
Jun Yi was puzzled. He looked toward the source of the sound and found several luxurious carriages parked in a secluded corner, with several young men harassing a little girl.
Jun Yi frowned slightly at the expressions of those spoiled brats.
And the leader of them was none other than the Fourth Prince, who was disguised as a playboy, Xue Beng.
"By blatant bullying in broad daylight, is this Xue Beng a genuine act, or is he simply a complete spoiled brat?"
Jun Yi looked at the Xue Beng with some confusion, but he still asked the coachman to move the carriage closer.
"Hmph! I don't care if you're bullying us or not, this girl is too beautiful. This prince is determined to get her! Hahaha, brothers, follow me and help me get her into the carriage."
"Yes, Your Highness Xue Beng."
Several people around Xue Beng lifted the little girl onto the carriage, completely ignoring her cries. The passersby seemed to be used to this scene, and no one stepped forward to stop it.
"Haha, I didn't expect to run into such a beautiful girl as soon as I stepped out the door! Guys, we're going to have a blast today!"
Xue Beng, his face contorted with lewdness, stood on the carriage with his arms crossed, looking down at the little girl surrounded by the crowd.
"Help! Waaah, someone please help me!"
"Hehe, little girl, even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you." Xue Beng touched his nose, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and said, "Let's go, let's take her back to the palace."
" Your Xue Beng Avalanche, aren't you afraid of being punished for doing this?"
Jun Yi spoke slowly, addressing Xue Beng's retreating figure.
Hearing that someone dared to stop him, Xue Beng's face flashed with anger, and he coldly shouted, "Where did this stray dog come from, daring to block my good deed? You really are..."
As Xue Beng cursed Jun Yi, he turned around, and when he saw that the person in front of him was actually Jun Yi, he was instantly dumbfounded.
"Jun, Jun Yi, what are you doing here?" Xue Beng's voice trembled slightly. His arrogance from before had vanished, replaced only by fear.
Jun Yi glanced indifferently at Xue Beng and said, "I just happened to be passing by. But what Your Jun Yi did just now has truly broadened my horizons."
Jun Yi's voice was calm, but it carried a hint of coldness.
"Leaving aside Your Highness's earlier insults towards Jun Yi, if His Majesty were to find out about Your Highness's act of forcibly abducting a woman in broad daylight, you would likely face some hardship."
Upon hearing Jun Yi's words, Xue Beng swallowed hard, terrified.
"Well, I just wanted to be friends with her, I didn't mean to make things difficult for her, right?" Xue Beng said to his underling.
Although the henchmen didn't know who Jun Yi was, seeing Jun Yi's attitude towards him, they knew he was not someone to be Xue Beng with. They quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, we just want to make friends with this young lady."
"It seems this young lady isn't very interested in being friends with you," Jun Yi said with a smile.
"Since she's not really willing, let's not press her any further."
Xue Beng waved to his henchmen, signaling them to release the woman. Xue Beng henchmen understood and let her off the carriage. The woman didn't know what had happened, but seeing that the playboys were no longer bothering her, she quickly ran home.
" Jun Yi, about today's events..."
"I only happened to run into Prince Xue Beng today; nothing else happened."
Before Xue Beng could finish speaking, Jun Yi interrupted him directly. Jun Yi had no time to get involved in the royal family's struggle, and he also believed that Xue Qinghe must have spies around Xue Beng. Qian Renxue must know what Xue Beng had done.
"Alright, we'll head back to the palace now. We'll treat you to dinner another day."
Xue Beng waved to Jun Yi, then boarded the carriage and told the driver to drive towards it. Inside the carriage, Xue Beng wasn't annoyed that Jun Yi had stopped him; instead, a wicked smile appeared on his face...
Seeing that the farce was over, Jun Yi also got into the carriage and told the driver to hurry on his way to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The carriage soon left the Heaven Dou Imperial City and arrived at a wide avenue.
The carriage hadn't been traveling long when it suddenly came to an abrupt stop.
Several muffled groans came from outside the carriage, followed by the coachman's trembling voice. "Young master, there's someone blocking the way ahead."
" Xue Beng was definitely acting just now. He probably did that so that the person who killed me could recognize my face."
Jun Yi had sensed something was wrong earlier. The moment Xue Beng called out his name, a faint Soul Power locked onto him. Although it was extremely weak, Jun Yi's Observation Haki still detected a Sisi of killing intent emanating from it.
"I wonder who Xue Beng sent to kill me."
Jun Yi slowly stepped down from the carriage and saw that the person who stopped him was an old man. The man was tall and thin, looking like a javelin, and his hair and beard were all dark green. His eyes were like emeralds, sparkling brightly.
This person was expressionless, or rather, his facial expression was completely stiff. His cheeks were sunken, his green hair was messy, and he was dressed in a simple gray robe.
"It's Dugu Bo? I was just about to go find you, and you actually delivered yourself to my doorstep?"
Jun Yi immediately recognized the person in front of him as his most important target for this trip back to Heaven Dou City: the master of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.
Jun Yi was extremely excited. Dugu Bo taking the initiative to find him saved him a lot of trouble.
However, he maintained a calm demeanor on the surface and asked Dugu Bo, "Who are you, senior, and why have you stopped my carriage?"
