"Is that... Xuan Ming?"
Not far away, under the leadership of Qin Ming, the Shrek group, who were heading towards Blue Bully Academy, stopped.
Seeing Xuan Ming standing there alone, looking left and right, and refusing to leave, Ning Rongrong's expression was very strange, "Could he be lost again?"
"Lost?" Oscar was stunned.
"How could such a grown man get lost?"
I don't know if he heard it, but Xuan Ming, who was standing in the distance, suddenly turned around and looked over here.
Oscar's expression froze, and he subconsciously hid behind Flanders.
Flanders' eyes twitched slightly, but he still led everyone towards Xuan Ming.
"Brother Xuan Ming, what are you doing here?" Ning Rongrong blinked.
"I... came out for a walk." Xuan Ming said.
"What are you doing here?"
"Uh..." Ning Rongrong subconsciously turned around and looked at Flanders.
She couldn't bring herself to talk about the humiliation of being kicked out of Tiandou Royal Academy.
Although she knew Dugu Yan, she did not know Dugu Bo, and given Poison Douluo's personality, she did not dare to say anything today.
"Nothing, I'm just here for a tour since I'm new here." Flanders was unwilling to talk about such an embarrassing thing.
Xuan Ming looked at Qin Ming, "Something happened?"
Qin Ming sighed, "Something went wrong, and I will no longer be a teacher at Tiandou Royal Academy."
Xuan Ming glanced at the dusty Shrek group and roughly guessed what had happened.
The three teaching committee members of Tiandou Royal Academy all support Xue Qinghe. If Qin Ming is allowed to pull Shrek in, it will strengthen Xue Qinghe's power. Although Prince Xuexing cannot directly help Xue Beng in this matter, it is still no problem for him to help reduce Xue Qinghe's power to a certain extent.
Moreover, Prince Xuexing and Xue Beng stood together, and this was most likely instructed by Emperor Xue Ye.
After all, when the two princes died in succession, Xue Qinghe, who benefited the most, was ultimately the most suspicious. As the emperor, the prince's power and status must also be restrained.
Prince Xuexing holds the military and political power of the empire and is deeply trusted by the emperor. He is close to Xue Beng, which not only balances the power of Xue Qinghe, but also to a certain extent holds the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect hostage. Even if Ning Fengzhi has ideas about many things, he cannot go too far.
"What's next?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Lanba College has information about recruiting teachers, and we plan to go over and take a look at the situation." Qin Ming said.
"It just so happens that Blue Bully Academy isn't far from here. Why don't you stop by and take a look?"
Xuan Ming's expression was a little unnatural, "No."
After talking to Xiao Wu and the others for a few more words and learning the general route from Ning Rongrong, Xuan Ming left quickly.
"Is he also related to Blue Bully Academy?" Flanders couldn't help but ask.
"It's not really related. He had some friction with some students of Lan Ba Academy before, which alarmed the dean of Lan Ba Academy." Qin Ming said.
"Then, they had a fight."
"Fight? When did it happen?" Flanders was stunned.
"It was many years ago. Xuan Ming was just a great soul master at that time." Qin Ming said.
"He seemed to have gotten lost at the time and got into a conflict with some Blue Bully Academy students on the street. He beat them up."
"That night, the dean of Lanba Academy went to Tiandou Royal Academy to ask for an explanation. Then, I don't know how the two of them started fighting."
"Fortunately, Chief Meng Shenji stepped in in time and finally resolved the misunderstanding."
"Furthermore, after that fight, Xuan Ming broke through to level 30. His third spirit ring was also obtained with the help of the dean of Lanba Academy."
"After that, they got to know each other."
"Is that so..." Flanders nodded. With Liu Erlong's temper, she was indeed capable of doing such a thing.
"But since we know each other, why did he seem to want to hide just now?" Flanders asked puzzledly.
"Dean, the dean of Lanba Academy went to Tiandou Royal Academy to seek an explanation because he thought his students were bullied by some noble son. But after learning about Xuan Ming's situation..." Qin Ming's face looked a little unnatural.
"You should be able to imagine how destructive his background is to women over 30 years old, right?"
Flanders' eyes twitched slightly. He was of course aware that a large number of Xuan Ming's fans in the Great Soul Fighting Arena were "mom fans"!
A big part of the reason why Xuan Ming's commercial value is so terrifying is that he is particularly able to attract aristocratic women to spend a lot of money on him!
Especially those ladies who are over 30 years old!
"And the personality of the dean of Lanba Academy..." Qin Ming hesitated to speak.
"A bit tough." Ning Rongrong said strangely.
"Fierce? What does that mean?" Xiao Wu asked in confusion.
Ning Rongrong thought for a moment, "Xuan Ming doesn't like to get too close to others, but the dean seems to think that Xuan Ming's aloofness is due to embarrassment. So, every time she sees Xuan Ming, she forces her love on him and controls him!"
Xiao Wu was confused, "Hard control?"
"It's literally hard control." Ning Rongrong shrugged.
"Xuan Ming couldn't beat her, and he couldn't stand the way she held him, so... he could only hide."
"However, Xuan Ming has grown up in the past few years, and the dean has restrained herself a lot. She doesn't control him as hard as before. But Xuan Ming is still a little afraid of her, so he always avoids her."
Oscar's eyes widened as he heard this, and he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "There is such a strange thing! The dean of Lanba Academy is really quite unique!"
"Will I be controlled?" Ma Hongjun said with some anticipation.
Flanders glared at Ma Hongjun and said, "Yes, I will. I will definitely kick you into the wall and keep you there for the whole day."
Ma Hongjun shrank his neck in fear at Flender's words and said, "Dean, I was just joking."
Everyone burst into laughter, and the originally dull atmosphere was eased a little by this light-hearted banter.
…
Prince's Mansion.
"Young Master, Xuan Ming has left the Spirit Temple and is heading towards the Tiandou Royal Academy."
Snake Spear Douluo reported Xuan Ming's information back immediately.
"We stayed overnight and left at noon..." Qian Renxue gritted her teeth.
"She really doesn't act at all."
Xue Qinghe went to visit, but was driven away without saying a word. Instead, Xuan Ming was left in the Spirit Temple for one night. Once this news spread, who knows how much suspicion and discussion it would cause!
"Tell them that I'm going there tonight to ask the Pope what she wants to do!" Qian Renxue said.
Xuan Ming is very important to Xue Qinghe, and his position in everyone's eyes must not be wrong. If everyone suspects that Xuan Ming has been won over by the Pope, that would be a big problem!
"Young Master, there is one more thing. Today, Prince Xuexing asked Dugu Bo to drive the Shrek Academy away." Snake Spear Douluo said.
"Xue Xing..." Qian Renxue frowned slightly.
"Why?"
"It is said that the Shrek people offended Prince Xue Beng." Snake Spear Douluo said.
"However, it can basically be said that they were forced to leave. The three members of the Education Committee have already reported the matter here for the Crown Prince to decide."
Nowadays, Emperor Xue Ye has handed over most of the unimportant political affairs to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. Only major matters that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe cannot decide will be reported to Xue Ye.
"Report it to the emperor." Qian Renxue said.
"Anyway, that old guy tacitly agreed to it."
Xue Ye was still on guard against Xue Qinghe after all, just as the emperor has been on guard against the prince since ancient times.
She kept Xue Beng not only because he posed no threat to her, but also as a buffer between her and Xue Ye.
If the prince had no concerns at all, the emperor would be panicking.
If things go wrong, the emperor might take action against the prince.
The Tiandou royal family is not limited to Xue Ye's lineage. There are many people in the royal family who want to be emperor.
The existence of Xue Beng also provides a bargaining chip for the royal family headed by Prince Xuexing. If Xue Beng is gone, the younger generation of royal family will lose their backbone and may have other thoughts.
In this situation, the safest thing to do is to wait for Xue Ye to pass away, and Xue Qinghe to succeed him.
If Xue Beng is killed again, a prince who has not even ascended to the throne can kill all his brothers, those royal relatives will probably be unable to sit still...
