When Jing Rui's voice fell, the entire hall once again fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone's expressions were stiff, their eyes lifeless, completely not knowing what was going on in front of them.
Nie Tian left two sword scars on the face of the 37th Prince Jing Hong, humiliating him in an undisguised manner.
And as Jing Hong's imperial brother, not only did Jing Rui not take revenge on Nie Tian, he even took the initiative to apologize and even addressed Nie Tian as brother. He even took the initiative to suggest that Nie Tian be the leader of the bodyguard group!
Why did the scene in front of them seem like a dream?
Everyone even suspected whether the second prince's IQ was low enough.
Nie Tian looked at Jing Rui, his eyes similarly very puzzled.
He really could not understand why Jing Rui would let him be the leader of the bodyguard group.
Of all the bodyguards present, other than Nie Tian, they were all half-sage powerhouses. Only Nie Tian alone had the strength of peak Deity Realm.
If Jing Rui saw that Nie Tian could injure Jing Hong and took a fancy to his battle prowess, then it also did not make sense.
After all, Ji Chou Wu and Lu Fengming were stronger. One was a ninth stage half-sage, the other was an eighth stage half-sage. It was impossible for their battle prowess to be weaker than a peak Deity Realm martial artist.
What did Jing Rui's current actions mean?
"Brother Nie, are you willing to accept this prince's proposal?" Seeing that Nie Tian did not speak, Jing Rui smiled faintly and asked again.
"Your Highness Second Prince, Nie Tian just joined the academy not long ago." At this time, without waiting for Nie Tian to speak, Bai Ruozhu by the side took a step forward and said, "This time, the marriage between the two great dynasties is of great importance. Nie Tian really cannot shoulder this responsibility."
As she spoke, she pointed at Ji Chou Wu and said, "This disciple is called Ji Chou Wu, the number one powerhouse of our Sacred Spirit Academy's outer court. Letting her be the leader of the bodyguard group is more suitable."
After Bai Ruozhu finished speaking, Jing Rui smiled faintly and said, "Teacher Bai, this prince is fully responsible for the bodyguard mission this time. This Prince knows very well who will be the leader of the bodyguards. "
As he spoke, he looked at Ji Qiuwu and laughed: "This student Ji Qiuwu's strength is admittedly not bad, but she can't take off the mask on her face, it's really difficult for her to be the head of the bodyguard group."
"This …" Bai Ruozhu's expression stiffened. After which, she turned to look at Lu Fengming and said, "This disciple is Lu Fengming, an expert second only to Ji Chou Wu in the outer sect. He doesn't have a mask on his face, so he can be the group leader."
"Yes, Your Royal Highness, I can be the leader!" Lu Fengming's eyes lit up as she stepped forward.
However, Jing Rui did not even look at Lu Fengming. Instead, he calmly and firmly said, "Teacher Bai, there's no need to say another word. This King has already made up his mind. The position of Guardian Squad's leader belongs to Nie Tian."
Bai Ruozhu saw that Jing Rui was very determined, and there was no room for discussion. She could not help but look embarrassed.
"Since Your Royal Highness is so insistent, if Nie Tian continues to decline, it would seem that he doesn't know what's good for him." At this time, Nie Tian finally spoke. He calmed down and smiled faintly: "Nie Tian is willing to take on the position of Guardian Squad's leader."
"Good!" Hearing that Nie Tian had agreed, Jing Rui laughed and actually bowed slightly: "Thank you, Brother Nie!"
Nie Tian nodded slightly and said no more.
"Teacher Bai, it's decided then. This King is preparing to bring Brother Nie and the others to Holy Moon Imperial City right now," Jing Rui smiled faintly and said directly.
"Right now?" Bai Ruozhu was startled. She did not expect it to be so urgent.
"Yes!" Jing Rui nodded. "Royal sister will be heading to Xuantian Dynasty in three days. This King wants to bring Brother Nie and the others to meet her in advance."
The royal sister he spoke of was, of course, the Royal Highness of Holy Moon Dynasty, the person who was about to marry into Xuantian Dynasty.
"Alright, since that's the case, you can all set off." Bai Ruozhu hesitated for a moment but finally nodded.
Then, Nie Tian and the others did not delay any further and directly followed Jing Rui to Holy Moon Imperial City.
The Holy Moon Dynasty was one of the four great dynasties of the Divine Heaven Region, and it was also the dynasty closest to the Sacred Spirit Academy among the four dynasties.
From the Sacred Spirit Academy to the Holy Moon Imperial City was only half a day's journey.
After half a day, Nie Tian and the others arrived outside the Divine Heaven City.
"What a majestic imperial city!" Nie Tian looked at the majestic imperial city in the distance and exclaimed in his heart.
This was the first time he had seen a large city in the Divine Heaven Region. Whether it was the aura or the area, it was much larger than the cities he had seen before.
"Let's go." Jing Rui smiled faintly and led Nie Tian and the others into the imperial city.
Soon, they arrived at King Rui's residence where the second prince lived. Under Jing Rui's arrangement, they temporarily lived in a spacious courtyard.
Jing Rui let the others rest first, then brought Nie Tian alone to the main hall of the residence.
"Brother Nie, have some tea." Jing Rui sat on the main seat of the main hall and smiled faintly, gesturing for Nie Tian to drink.
Nie Tian, however, waved his hand and said with a plain tone, "Your Highness, if there's anything you want to say, just say it."
He always felt that this second prince looked very respectful, but was actually very gloomy and shrewd. Who knew what he was planning.
"Brother Nie, you are the leader of the bodyguard group this time. There are some things that I need to discuss with you." Jing Rui smiled faintly and actually began to discuss the bodyguard group with Nie Tian.
The two talked for a long time, including the route to the Xuantian Dynasty this time, who else should they bring besides the bodyguards.
By the time they finished discussing everything, several hours had passed.
"Brother Nie, tonight This Prince will bring you into the palace to meet Royal Sister. At the same time, this Prince will hold a welcoming dinner for you." In the end, Jing Rui smiled faintly and said solemnly.
"It's fine to meet Her Royal Highness in advance, but there's no need for a welcoming dinner." Nie Tian smiled faintly and said in a low voice.
"No need to be nervous, Brother Nie. It's just a meal with Royal Sister." Jing Rui laughed and said, "Brother Nie, go back and rest first. This Prince will send someone to call you when it's time to leave."
"Alright." Nie Tian nodded and stood up to leave the main hall.
On the way back to the courtyard, he had a puzzled look on his face. He really couldn't understand what this second prince was up to.
He had a feeling that Jing Rui had some unspeakable secret, but the latter hid it so deeply that not even a drop of water could leak out.
"Don't worry about him for now. I just need to complete my mission of bodyguard." Unable to understand, Nie Tian could only shake his head with a bitter smile and give up.
After returning to the courtyard, Nie Tian entered his room, but he suddenly sensed something and his expression changed.
He actually discovered that there was already a person sitting in the room.
"Ji Chou Wu, why are you in my room?" Nie Tian was startled for a moment, but he immediately calmed down and asked Ji Chou Wu.
The person in his room was none other than Ji Chou Wu.
"I was waiting for you." Ji Chou Wu spoke faintly, his voice actually no longer as cold as before. In fact, it was a little soft and sweet.
"Hm?" Nie Tian could tell that something was wrong with Ji Chou Wu's voice. He couldn't help but narrow his gaze, a strange expression on his face.
If this sweet voice came from the mouth of any other woman, Nie Tian would feel that it was very normal.
But coming from Ji Chou Wu's mouth, it was very strange.
