Chapter 51: I'm Going to Beat Up the Prince
Just as the red haired youth in the middle reached out toward Ye Lingling's veil, he failed to notice that a student in a Thunder Academy uniform was silently walking up behind him.
The three of them had terrible awareness. Yu Tianlin did not even bother to hide his presence. He simply walked straight over, yet none of them noticed.
Maybe it was because of who he was that he felt absolutely no danger inside Heaven Dou Royal Academy. With his status, he naturally did not feel the need to be cautious.
Yu Tianlin did not care about any of that. He closed the distance in a few steps and, without hesitation, chopped both henchmen at the back of the neck with each hand, knocking them out cold. Then, before the red haired youth could touch Ye Lingling's veil, Yu Tianlin raised his leg and kicked him to the ground.
After dealing with all three in an instant, Yu Tianlin turned to Ye Lingling and asked with concern, "Sister Lingling, are you alright?"
"Yu Tianlin, it's you."
Trapped by three shameless bullies, Ye Lingling had been trembling with fear. But after Yu Tianlin dropped them one by one, her emotions slowly calmed down.
Seeing that she was still shaken, Yu Tianlin spoke softly, "It's alright, Sister Lingling. I'm here. Nothing will happen to you."
"Mhm."
Hearing his words, Ye Lingling unconsciously replied in a low voice. Her eyes were slightly unfocused as she stared at him, but a faint sense of security stirred in her heart.
At that moment, the red haired youth Yu Tianlin had kicked over earlier staggered to his feet. He pointed at Yu Tianlin and shouted furiously, "You brat, you're finished! How dare you kick me! Do you know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are."
Yu Tianlin turned, grabbed the red haired youth by the collar, and slammed him against the wall. "You like backing girls into corners, right? Then today, I'll let you have a taste of being cornered by a wall."
As he spoke, he pressed the youth's face against the wall and started grinding him against it.
Even though he was completely overpowered, the red haired youth still cursed through gritted teeth, "You little bastard, I'll kill you!"
"Let's see who kills who."
Yu Tianlin was just as ruthless. He clenched his free fist and drew it back, ready to smash it into the red haired youth's face.
"Wait!"
Ye Lingling suddenly rushed over and grabbed Yu Tianlin's arm, stopping the punch. "This person is called Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. If you hit him, you'll be in big trouble."
As she grabbed his arm, Yu Tianlin inevitably brushed against a soft curve.
He had not expected that although Sister Lingling did not look very noticeable on the outside, she was actually quite well developed. It was just that she always wore black clothes, and black made her look slimmer, which made everything seem smaller.
Ahem. Yu Tianlin, what are you thinking at a time like this?
Now is the time for a beating, not for drifting off.
Right, Sister Lingling just said this guy's name is Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Yu Tianlin looked at the red haired youth pinned against the wall, his expression hard to read.
From what he remembered, Xue Beng's useless, spoiled prince act was just a disguise to survive under the pressure of "Xue Qinghe," who was actually Qian Renxue in disguise.
He did not care how Xue Beng pretended. But laying hands on Sister Lingling was another matter. That was not something Yu Tianlin could overlook.
Seeing Yu Tianlin suddenly pause, Xue Beng's arrogance quickly returned.
"What, scared now that you know who I am?" Xue Beng sneered. "Let me tell you, it's too late even if you are."
Oh? Getting cocky already?
You think being a prince makes you untouchable?
What kind of prince are you? I am the guy who beats up princes.
With that thought, Yu Tianlin shook off Ye Lingling's grip. Under Xue Beng's stunned gaze, his fist shot out and smashed solidly into Xue Beng's eye socket.
"Still think it's useless?"
"Your Highness, does it hurt?"
Yu Tianlin did not stop after one punch. He hammered Xue Beng five or six times in the face before finally relaxing his hand and letting go of his collar.
Xue Beng collapsed to the ground. His whole face was swollen and round, both eyes bruised dark purple like a panda's, and a thin line of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"You… just wait." Xue Beng's voice was weak, but he still forced out a threat. "I'll tell my uncle. He'll deal with you."
Faced with this, Yu Tianlin only smiled.
"Your Highness, I advise you not to make a big deal out of this, or you'll be the one suffering."
He bent down slightly and said in a calm tone, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Yu Tianlin. My elder brother is Yu Tianheng. He's currently dating Dugu Yan. The two of them are very close, and Sister Yanzi is practically my sister in law."
The moment Yu Tianlin mentioned Dugu Yan's name, Xue Beng's pupils shrank sharply and his lips twitched.
As expected. He might act like a brainless playboy on the surface, but deep down, he understood the situation very clearly.
"Judging from your expression, you know who Dugu Yan is."
Seeing Xue Beng's reaction, Yu Tianlin continued slowly, "Dugu Yan is the granddaughter of Senior Poison Douluo, and his only granddaughter. Senior Poison Douluo dotes on her extremely."
Of course he doted on her. Dugu Bo could not resolve Dugu Yan's poison at all, so he had no choice but to compensate her in every other way.
"Even your uncle, Prince Xuexing, has been trying to win over Senior Poison Douluo," Yu Tianlin said. "If you want your uncle to stand up for you, I'll naturally go to Sister Yanzi and tell her everything that happened today."
"Sister Yanzi will definitely hate you then. If her attitude affects Senior Poison Douluo, and he turns cold toward your uncle, your losses will be huge."
Even if Yu Tianlin mentioned his grandfather, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan did not have much of a relationship with the royal family. That alone would not be enough to truly make Xue Beng afraid. He might even blow things up further to make his 'useless prince' act more convincing.
But bringing Dugu Bo into it was different. That was touching his uncle's lifeline.
After hearing Yu Tianlin's words, Xue Beng's expression kept shifting.
The reason he could live so freely was because he had Prince Xuexing as a backer, and Prince Xuexing needed to keep things friendly with Dugu Bo. To offend Dugu Bo over such a small incident would be a huge loss.
Of course, Xue Beng knew that things might not be as serious as Yu Tianlin made them sound. But he did not dare gamble on that. If he misjudged the situation, the chain reaction that followed might really cost him his life.
Seeing that Xue Beng finally looked like he understood, Yu Tianlin revealed a satisfied smile. He then turned and said to Ye Lingling behind him, "Sister Lingling, I'll have to trouble you to heal his face so that it doesn't leave any marks."
After all, he was still a prince. If he walked around with a bruised and swollen face and someone noticed, even if Xue Beng did not want to blow it up, it would still affect the royal family's reputation, and someone would definitely come forward on his behalf.
Hearing Yu Tianlin's words, Xue Beng's expression eased a great deal.
