Chapter 56 The Murderer Tang Hao, The Furious Emperor Xue Ye_1

Inside the Crown Prince's bedchamber.

After hearing the words of President Meng, Qinghe's face remained calm, but his heart felt strangely awkward.

He was very curious how his cheap Uncle Wang and his brother had managed to appear even more like traitors than himself.

"President Meng, perhaps Uncle Wang and the others have some hidden reasons?"

Qinghe said leisurely.

"Your Highness, you are simply too kind-hearted. We have all seen through Prince His Highness's and Prince Xue Beng's intentions; they are just trying to weaken and suppress you."

The more President Meng thought about it, the angrier he became. "No, I must strongly denounce Prince Xue Xing to His Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Qinghe said no more.

He knew that President Meng's emotions had been stirred up, and when he met Emperor Xue Ye later, he would vent all his rage.

...

A moment later.

In the main hall of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

The emaciated and withered-faced Emperor Xue Ye exploded with anger:

"What?!"

"Xue Xing and Xue Beng actually did something so arrogant and domineering, even turning away Titled Douluo experts who came with people seeking to join the Sky Dou Royal Academy?"

"Cough cough cough..."

As he spoke, his chest heaved violently, and he coughed severely.

Clearly, he was extremely unsettled inside.

"Your Majesty, that's not all. Do you know how young that Titled Douluo is? I believe he's not even twenty years old..."

As President Meng spoke, he shook his head and sighed, "Such a talented powerhouse couldn't join our Tiandou Empire; it's truly regrettable."

"Prince His Highness and Prince Xue Beng have really gone too far. If this young strongman were to join the Xingluo Empire or the Martial Soul Hall, not only would our Tiandou Empire miss out on his help, but we would also gain a powerful enemy."

"I must say, they really are unwise. To have such decision-makers within the Empire, in my view, is a sorrowful matter."

"Your Majesty, I implore you, please take back the control Prince Xue Xing has over the Sky Dou Royal Academy. If this continues, the Sky Dou Royal Academy will sooner or later be doomed."

The more President Meng talked, the more grief and anger he felt; today, he wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction in his heart.

There's no denying it, every word from President Meng was crafted like a gem, so much so that Qinghe was taken aback.

He hadn't expected that once President Meng began to speak, he wouldn't need to embellish anything, as he had already demeaned Xue Xing and Xue Beng to the point of worthlessness.

"Cough cough..."

"Enough."

Emperor Xue Ye cried out coldly, then he turned towards the outside of the great hall and bellowed in a deep voice, "Summon Prince Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing, I want to question them personally about their intentions."

...

"How could this happen?"

"How could it turn out like this!"

Elsewhere at the entrance of Ten Thousand Beast Academy, Meng Yiran, dressed in a white gown, was shocked.

Although the Ten Thousand Beast Academy was built among the mountains and was not as grand and spectacular as the Sky Dou Royal Academy, it still had a dignified and imposing atmosphere.

But now...

The sight that met Meng Yiran's eyes could only be described as ruins.

"No..."

She uttered a cry of despair, and like a madwoman, she ran into the academy.

When she stood atop the rubble, it was as though she had been struck by lightning.

"Granny..."

She saw Snake Granny lying on the ground and let out a trembling voice.

One step, two steps, three steps...

She felt as if her legs were as heavy as lead.

Each step she took was shaky and unsteady.

Finally, Meng Yiran arrived in front of Snake Granny, her body slowly collapsing.

Although Snake Granny had long since breathed her last, her eyes were still wide open.

In them, Meng Yiran could see despair and reluctance.

"Wuuu..."

"Granny, what on earth happened, can you tell me?"

Meng Yiran held Snake Granny's cold body, crying helplessly, feeling as if her whole world had collapsed.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Yi, Yiran, senior sister..."

Suddenly, a faint voice rose intermittently.

"Who?"

Meng Yiran turned around and saw a person 'dead for quite some time' struggling twice.

Immediately.

She put down Snake Granny and quickly came to the side of the Ten Thousand Beast Academy student.

"Junior brother, it's me; tell me, what happened?"

She asked hastily.

"Attached soul bone... murder, Hao Tian Clan, Tang... Hao."

After the Ten Thousand Beast Academy student said a few words in broken sentences, he exhausted all his strength.

All signs of life ceased from there.

...

Late at night.

Inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

"Elder brother, you are unwell, why are you still not resting at this late hour?"

"Whatever it is, we can talk tomorrow just the same."

Prince Xue Xing looked at Emperor Xue Ye on the throne with a face full of concern and said.

"Father, please take care of your health."

Prince Xue Beng chimed in quickly.

In reality, both of them knew very well that being summoned in the middle of the night was definitely not for a late-night snack.

Glancing at Xue Qinghe and Dream Divine Machine also present, it was clear what the emperor had summoned them for.

It surely had something to do with that annoying Shrek Academy from earlier in the day.

"Heh, Xue Xing, do you think I can still sleep tonight?"

"Cough, cough."

Emperor Xue Ye laughed coldly, but as he did, he began to cough again.

It couldn't be helped.

He was just too damn angry.

The Tiandou Empire was already lacking in strong individuals of its own, and it wasn't easy to come across one with such potential, yet these two fools had rejected him.

Nobody knew that he had been coughing up blood in secret.

"Elder brother, don't get angry, let me explain."

"We really didn't know that among those people, there was a Titled Douluo."

Prince Xue Xing hurriedly explained.

The ignorant were not to blame; he deeply understood that he needed to find an unbeatable excuse first.

"Fine, even if you didn't know there was a Titled Douluo among those people, but there were also several Soul Sages and Soul Emperor level experts. Are they not worth winning over?"

"Besides, there were also some young geniuses, over 25 levels at the age of twelve. Don't they have any value?"

Emperor Xue Ye then threw two more questions in succession.

"Ah, this..."

Prince Xue Xing's face changed, and he didn't know how to respond.

He knew that Emperor Xue Ye was right; whether it was the Soul Emperor and Soul Sage experts or the young geniuses, they were all worth wooing.

Even more so, if these people were to come to his Prince's Mansion to seek refuge with him, not to mention treating them as distinguished guests, he would even offer at least double the price Sky Dou Royal Academy offered to win them over.

The reason he acted as he did was entirely because these people had chosen the wrong side. They hadn't sided with him but with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, which was the fundamental reason for his suppression.

"Father, these people also hit your child."

"Uncle Wang was just upholding the royal family's dignity."

Seeing that Prince Xue Xing was at a loss for words, Prince Xue Beng immediately spoke up, trying to make a case for Prince Xue Xing.

After all, he was the one who got beaten up, an indisputable fact.

Even Prince Xue Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Prince Xue Beng's assistance was right on point.

However, Emperor Xue Ye became even angrier and laughed out of anger.

"Hahaha."

"Xue Beng, you still have the face to talk to me about dignity."

"Over the years, your gluttony, debauchery, gambling, addiction, bullying, cheating, stealing, you've nearly done it all. Go ask around the entire Tiandou City, who doesn't know that you, Xue Beng, are the number one profligate of Tiandou City? I ask you, do you have any dignity left?"

"It's not just you, even my own dignity has been lost because of you."
