In the great hall of the outer court, several figures walked over.
Everyone in the great hall could not help but look over.
The person in the lead was a young warrior. He was slightly plump and had delicate features. His eyes revealed a sense of determination. He wore a long golden robe that looked luxurious and bright, and his body exuded an innate nobility.
Behind this person were two middle-aged men. Their faces were stern and stern, and they did not speak or smile.
Beside the noble man was another person. It was a face that Nie Tian was familiar with. It was Jing Hong, who had provoked him before!
"Your Royal Highness, the second prince!" Bai Ruozhu looked at the noble man and hurriedly walked over and called out.
This noble young man was the second prince of the Holy Moon Dynasty, Jing Rui.
"Miss Bai." Jing Rui smiled faintly, appearing very respectful.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Jing Rui, and their faces were full of joy.
In the Holy Spirit Realm, the four dynasties were existences that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Sacred Spirit Academy.
And the Holy Moon Dynasty was one of the four dynasties.
This time, the second prince of the Holy Moon Dynasty had personally come to the Sacred Spirit Academy to select the Eldest Princess's bodyguard. It was enough to show the importance that the Holy Moon Dynasty attached to this marriage.
"Second brother, it's this brat who injured me!" At this moment, Jing Hong suddenly spoke. He stared at Nie Tian with a pair of extremely vicious eyes and shouted hysterically.
Everyone was shocked by Jing Hong's voice and looked over.
Just now, everyone's attention was focused on Jing Rui and did not look at Jing Hong at all.
Only now did everyone see the two sword marks on Jing Hong's face. They were so obvious and so glaring.
Nie Tian's sword will was very strong, and he had just used the power of the Divine Demon. Therefore, the sword marks on Jing Hong's face would not disappear without a few months.
"Oh no!" Ju Shan and Ju He looked at Jing Hong, and at the same time, their eyes trembled and they cried out in their hearts.
Jing Hong was the thirty-seventh prince of the Holy Moon Dynasty. Although he was not valued in the dynasty, he still had the status of a prince.
Nie Tian leaving two sword marks on his face was simply a slap in the face of the Holy Moon Dynasty.
Bai Ruozhu looked at Jing Hong, and then at Nie Tian. She immediately understood what was going on, and her expression became extremely awkward.
"Your Royal Highness, this matter …" After thinking for a moment, Bai Ruozhu stepped forward, ready to help Nie Tian take the blame.
But before she could finish, Jing Rui directly waved his hand and interrupted her.
Jing Rui took a step forward. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he ran his gaze up and down Nie Tian's body, but he didn't say a word.
The scene was of dead. Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they did not even dare to make the slightest sound.
Nobody knew what Jing Rui was thinking at this moment.
While Jing Rui was looking at Nie Tian, the latter was also looking at him.
Nie Tian's gaze tightened as he stared at Jing Rui, thinking to himself, 'This person is not old, but he is very powerful. He is actually a Demi Saint. His gaze is deep and complicated, and he is extremely shrewd. He is definitely not a simple person. "
After a long time, Jing Rui finally opened his mouth, a smile on his lips. He looked at Nie Tian and asked, "The sword mark on Jing Hong's face, was it you who left it?"
"Yes." Nie Tian didn't hide anything and responded calmly without the slightest nervousness.
"Can I know why?" Jing Rui frowned in surprise. He hadn't expected Nie Tian to be so calm.
"You should ask him," Nie Tian replied calmly.
"Second Brother, this kid is the son of the Sacred Spirit Academy's biggest traitor, Nie Fenghua. I only said a few words, but he was enraged. He left a sword mark on my face. By humiliating me like this, he's provoking our Holy Moon Dynasty! "Jing Hong could no longer hold it in and stepped forward with an agitated expression.
"Shut up!" However, Jing Rui suddenly turned around and fiercely glared at Jing Hong. Jing Hong was so frightened that he shrank back a few steps and almost fell.
Everyone was also stunned. They didn't know what was going on.
Logically speaking, Nie Tian leaving a sword mark on Jing Hong's face was a great humiliation.
Jing Rui should be very angry and want nothing more than to kill Nie Tian, but why was Jing Rui scolding Jing Hong instead?
Nie Tian was also very puzzled. He didn't know what Jing Rui was planning.
"You're Lord Nie Fenghua's son?" Jing Rui suddenly laughed and asked calmly.
"Hmm?" Nie Tian's gaze froze. He felt even more puzzled, but he still nodded.
When Jing Rui mentioned Nie Fenghua, he used honorifics, as if expressing goodwill to Nie Tian.
"You're Nie Tian, right?" Jing Rui said with a smile again.
Nie Tian nodded again and said, "Your Royal Highness, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Hmm?" Nie Tian's attitude stunned everyone.
At this moment, Jing Rui behaved very respectfully, while Nie Tian, on the other hand, seemed a bit impatient.
To others, Nie Tian's current actions seemed a little arrogant.
No matter what, Jing Rui was the second prince of the Holy Moon Empire. His status was extremely noble.
Moreover, it was rumored that Jing Rui was one of the few princes who had the ability to compete for the throne.
In other words, Jing Rui could become the Holy Moon Emperor in the future. This status was comparable to the Saint Soul Academy's dean.
Nie Tian's cold reaction was indeed a little arrogant.
However, what happened next made everyone's jaws drop.
Jing Rui wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "Nie Tian, Jing Hong is young and ignorant. He doesn't have a sense of propriety and is too reckless. As his brother, I apologize to you on his behalf. I hope you can be magnanimous and not lower yourself to his level. "
His calm voice caused the crowd to be stunned.
Everyone was petrified and looked at Jing Rui with their mouths agape. They seemed to think that they had heard wrongly.
The most surprised person was Jing Hong. His eyes were wide open and his expression seemed to be saying, "Second brother, am I your brother or is he your brother?"
Nie Tian didn't expect Jing Rui's words. He frowned and didn't know what to say.
However, he could tell that Jing Rui wasn't the kind of person who was truly tolerant. He was acting so respectfully at this moment, so he definitely had other intentions.
"Nie Tian, the matter between you and Jing Hong should end here. What do you say?" Jing Rui looked at Nie Tian and said again.
"Since Second Prince has said so, of course I have no objections." Nie Tian nodded and replied calmly.
Whether Jing Rui's actions were sincere or not, Nie Tian had to return the courtesy. Otherwise, it would be a little unreasonable.
"Thank you." Jing Rui smiled faintly. His eyes flickered as he looked at Nie Tian and sincerely said, "Brother Nie, this Prince has a small request. I hope Brother Nie can agree to it."
When everyone heard Jing Rui's words, their expressions that had just softened a little froze again.
Jing Rui actually called Nie Tian Brother Nie. This was undoubtedly admitting that in his eyes, Nie Tian was on the same level as him.
What was going on?
"Your Highness is too polite." Nie Tian's eyes narrowed and said, "If Your Highness has any requests, please tell me. If Nie Tian can do it, I will not refuse."
Jing Rui's current attitude made Nie Tian have no choice but to be more polite.
