Xue Hao's face was black and purple, his lips trembling. His eyes were filled with hatred and despair.
He was the eldest son of his family, and his talent was decent. He had hopes of entering the inner court in a few years. Once he entered the inner court, he would undoubtedly become the head of the Xue family.
But now … everything was ruined. Even if he entered the inner court, he had no hope of becoming the head of the family.
Furthermore, he had been engaged to two beautiful female cousins, as well as a young lady from a branch branch of the Zuo Clan, whom he had coveted for a long time. The two clans had agreed that as long as he could enter the inner court, he would immediately marry the young lady from the Zuo Clan.
His beautiful cousin, the young miss of the Zuo family, immediately became the target of the other Xue family disciples. The day after his balls were crushed, two annulment letters were delivered to him. The branch family of the Zuo family also sent word that the marriage was canceled.
Tears fell from his eyes at the thought. He wanted nothing more than to pounce on the young man and devour his marrow.
Yang Qingxuan glanced at the middle-aged man and chuckled. "I see that you're full of vitality and kidney energy. You can just give birth to a few more children. This one bullies his fellow students and does all kinds of evil. He's worse than a dog or a pig. We don't need him. "
The middle-aged man roared, "Shut up! Since when did you have the right to lecture a member of the Xue family?! "A sinister aura swirled around him. He was ready to kill at the slightest disagreement.
The bearded elder cried out in alarm, "Wait, don't kill him with one strike. That'll be letting him off too easily."
The Hu family's elder chimed in, "This is Heaven Consort Academy's entrance. If we kill him, it won't do us any good."
Although the two families were angry, they weren't as deeply hurt as the Xue family, so their emotions were much calmer.
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out. The three families' expressions changed drastically, and they stopped in their tracks. The head of the Xue family hurriedly withdrew his palm, not daring to attack again.
In their agitation, they hadn't noticed the large number of students gathered around them. One of them had slender eyebrows and wore a light yellow robe with golden edges. A beautiful jade hung from his waist, and he was looking at them coldly.
"Heh, so you know this is Heaven Consort Academy. How dare you cause trouble here? It seems you all have earth-shattering backgrounds. Tell me, Chen Ting, and I'll pay my respects. "
The corners of Chen Ting's mouth curled up in a mocking smile.
The people from the three clans were slightly shocked. Seeing this person's attire and his lofty aura, they knew that his family was extraordinary. They did not dare to act rashly.
The Xue family head cupped his fists and said, "Little brother, we are not here to cause trouble. We are here to collect a debt. This person injured my son the day before yesterday. Today, I will make him pay with his life! "
Chen Ting glanced indifferently at Yang Qingxuan, and saw that this youth was calm and composed. Although he was surrounded, he didn't panic in the slightest, and was calm and composed. This caused Chen Ting to secretly praise him in his heart.
Yang Qingxuan also looked at Chen Ting strangely. There were many students around him, surrounding the Xue, Zhou, and Hu families. They all wore cold expressions, as if they were from some organization.
He thought to himself, "Could it be the school's underworld?"
Chen Ting withdrew his gaze and asked casually, "Is this person from my Heavenly Consort Academy?"
The head of the Xue family replied: "Yes."
Chen Ting asked again, "Are you from my Heavenly Consort Academy?"
The head of the Xue family said, "No."
Chen Ting's expression darkened. "Impudent! How dare you come to the academy and kill my fellow students if you're not from my academy! "
The heads of the three families were stunned. The head of the Zhou family hurried forward and cupped his fists. "Student, the juniors of our three families are from Heavenly Consort Academy. They were injured by this brat."
Chen Ting said coldly, "That's the students' business. What does it have to do with you? If you want to get back at them, let your juniors do it themselves. After being beaten up in the academy, they ran back crying to call their parents. These three students are really promising. "
"Hahaha."
Mocking laughter came from the surrounding students. More and more people gathered, all of them looking at the show with mocking expressions.
Zhou Cang and Hu Ding's faces reddened, and they lowered their heads. Xue Hao was still expressionless, staring at Yang Qingxuan with hatred.
The dozen or so people from the three families also felt embarrassed, their faces turning red.
The head of the Zhou family said in a low voice, "Student, many of our families hold positions in the Imperial Guard. I'm also the vice-captain of the sixth group of the Imperial Guard's seventh brigade." He then pointed at the bearded elder and the head of the Xue family. "These two are vice-captains of the third brigade and vice-captains of the fourth brigade's third group."
The bearded elder stroked his beard. "This brat's grandfather is a garbage collector in the academy."
Their meaning was clear. They wanted to tell Chen Ting about their family background and Yang Qingxuan's background. They wanted Chen Ting to weigh the pros and cons and decide who to side with.
After all, Chen Ting's bearing was extraordinary, and he was definitely a scion of an influential family. Since ancient times, officials protected each other. There was no way he would go against the three families for the sake of a garbage collector's descendant.
Chen Ting nodded. "I understand. I've noted down your positions."
The head of the Zhou family was overjoyed. "Haha, little brother, you're a smart person. May I ask what your family background is? "
Chen Ting replied, "Let's not talk about my family background. I don't plan on being friends with you, nor do I need you to flatter me. I'll have someone report today's matter to the Imperial Guard's grand commander, Sir Hou Mingyi, and have him give the academy an explanation. "
"What? Ah! "
The three Patriarchs were all dumbfounded, their mouths wide open.
Chen Ting sneered at the three. "The Imperial Guard's duty is to ensure the safety of the imperial capital and protect the country. Yet you came to Heavenly Consort Academy to cause trouble. I'm sure Sir Hou Mingyi will personally come to the academy and give the dean an explanation. "
"Ah?!!"
The dozen or so people from the three families sucked in cold breaths and trembled in fear.
The three family heads were even more dumbfounded. If the grand commander was alerted and had to seek an explanation from the "Martial King" Qing Buli, their three families would be finished.
"Se … Student … Little brother … Don't … don't do this …"
The bearded old man's face paled. He hurriedly begged Chen Ting in a submissive voice.
The head of the Zhou family also hurriedly lowered his head. "We were just muddle-headed for a moment. We were truly muddle-headed. Please be magnanimous, student."
Zhou Cang, Hu Ding, and Xue Hao were also dumbfounded. They hadn't expected this outcome.
Yang Qingxuan was also secretly amused. At the same time, he also sensed the academy's strength. With the academy as a shelter, he could save himself a lot of trouble.
At the same time, he also developed a favorable impression of Chen Ting, a student he'd never met before. He would remember this favor in his heart.
Never in his wildest dreams would Chen Ting have imagined that helping Yang Qingxuan out of an unintentional favorable impression would bring him and the Chen family unimaginable benefits in the future.
In retrospect, Chen Ting was certain that this was the best and most important thing he'd ever done in his life.
