Luo Zhao wasn't the only one. Chen Yue and Feng Yu's mouths twitched as well.
Only the three of them knew what had happened back then. Naturally, they also knew that when they fought with Feng shi... Feng shi was already on the verge of death, and he was lying on the ground like a corpse, waiting to be pummeled, alright?
When did both sides end up in mutual destruction?
As for the assault, Hong Shi said that he was severely injured, and Luo shi didn't make a move at all...
Seeing Zhang Xuan getting more and more furious as he spoke, Hong Shi began to fall into a daze... Was I really beaten up by Luo shi? Why don't I have any recollection of it?
"Nonsense! We can testify that the situation wasn't like that. Feng shi was already injured back then..."
Chen Yue couldn't hold himself back anymore and exclaimed anxiously.
"Feng shi was injured? Fine, let me ask you then. How did Feng shi get injured? Who injured him? As a 5-star master teacher, it's impossible for him to remain silent after being injured by someone else, right? "
Knowing that the other party would say such a thing, Zhang Xuan flung his sleeves.
"This..." Beads of cold sweat appeared on Chen Yue's forehead. "I might have remembered wrongly..."
Feng shi had fallen from the sky to stop Hong Shi and the others, and he had nearly fallen to his death. On top of that, he had gone against the code of conduct... This matter couldn't be leaked out.
Otherwise, if word were to spread, Feng shi would be a goner.
Since he couldn't speak of this matter, how did he get injured?
One must know that Feng shi had just met with the crown prince in the morning, and yet, in the afternoon, he was reduced to a pile of mud... There was no way he could explain this!
"Why? Are you going back on your word now that I've spoken the truth?"
Zhang Xuan was so furious that it seemed as though he was going to set the surroundings ablaze. "Even if you didn't go back on your word, Wu Shi had witnessed how the two of you worked together to humiliate Hong Shi. It's not a big deal for you to speak up for him now, right? How can anyone believe such words that are laced with emotions? "
"This..."
Chen Yue's face twitched.
Even though Wu Shi was drinking at the moment, he must have seen how they worked together with Luo Zhao to humiliate Hong Shi. At this moment, there was no way he could deny it even if he wanted to...
Zhang Xuan waved his hands and said, "Alright, it would be best for you and Feng shi to keep quiet for now. After all, the both of you are in an alliance …"
Gritting his teeth, Chen Yue was just about to say something when the Crown Prince interjected, "Enough. Don't say anything for now. Let this young man finish what he has to say!"
In fact, Wu Shi wasn't the only one who saw it. He also saw how the three of them purposely mocked Hong Shi when they presented the gifts.
It was obvious that the three of them had joined hands. Since that was the case, their words could not be trusted.
"Thank you, Crown Prince!"
Zhang Xuan nodded. "Before the crown prince arrived, Hong shi was injured by them and arrived a moment late. As a result, he was humiliated by them. You can ask Wu shi about this, I'm not lying at all!"
"Hong Shi is a little late!" Wu Shi nodded.
"Thank you, Wu Shi, for speaking up for me."
Zhang Xuan clasped his fist once more. "They injured Hong Shi, stole his treasure, and provoked us here. Their motive is to make our Hongfeng Empire lose its slot. Now that the evidence is clear, I beseech the Crown Prince to make a decision!"
"It's easy to make a decision... Your words do make sense, but... you said that Luo shi stole Hong Shi's treasure. May I ask what kind of treasure it is? Can you explain it in detail? "
The Crown Prince asked.
As the Crown Prince, he wasn't an incompetent individual. Even though the young man's words were flawless and logical, and Luo Zhao had admitted to it, he still didn't believe that three 5-star master teachers would do something as despicable as snatching.
"Indeed. You said that I stole Hong Qian's treasure, but what kind of treasure did I steal? If you can't tell me, I'll take it as you slandering a master teacher. If it's light, your master teacher license will be revoked, and if it's heavy, you will be executed on the spot... "
Hearing those words, Luo Zhao's eyes lit up, and he bellowed anxiously.
You say that I stole Hong Shi's treasure? Fine, tell me what I stole. If I can't tell you... let's see what you can do about it!
As a 4-star master teacher, slandering a 5-star master teacher, just this crime alone is enough to make you unable to make a comeback!
"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen someone as shameless as you! It's one thing for you to deny the fact that you stole someone else's treasure, but to think that you would act so righteously... Since that's the case, I'll make sure that you're convinced! "
Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly. He turned to look at Hong Shi and said, "I'll have to trouble Hong Shi!"
"Trouble me?"
Hong Shi shuddered. "Zhang Shi, feel free to speak..."
At this moment, he was filled with admiration for the fellow before him.
That mouth of his was truly able to turn the dead into a living god... The reason why he came late today was clearly because he was waiting for him, but in the end, it turned out that he was treating his injuries...
Coupled with the gibberish from before, everything was logical and there was not the slightest bit of inconsistency!
Even he, the person in question, felt that his words were logical and logical. Did Luo Zhao, Feng Yu, and the others steal his possession...
To be able to come up with such a flawless plan, could it be that the other party had already thought of this when he sent him to Luo shi, Feng shi, and the others?
If that was the case... then this was way too fearsome!
"Simple!"
Zhang Xuan changed to a telepathic message.
"You want me to..."
Upon hearing those words, Hong shi's eyes widened, and his pupils narrowed.
"Un, go. Whether we can expose the other party's true face or not will depend on you!"
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly.
"Go? To hell with it... "
Recalling the words the other party had said in his ears, Hong Shi's body trembled, and he nearly burst into tears.
You're not trying to expose him, you're trying to kill me, right?
"Don't worry, just think about the battle between Ruohuan gongzi and Qin Lei, and you'll understand!"
Seeing through the other party's dilemma, Zhang Xuan consoled.
"Ruohuan gongzi and Qin Lei?"
Hong Shi was taken aback.
Under normal circumstances, given Ruohuan gongzi's strength, it should have been impossible for him to get into the top eight. Back then, he was facing Qin Lei, and even Zhang Xuan himself thought that Qin Lei stood no chance at all.
Yet... this fellow poured a bowl of meat soup on Qin Lei's face, and Ruohuan gongzi managed to turn the tables...
Just the thought of it was incredible. From the looks of it, this must be the other party's method.
However, what the other party wanted him to do was indeed similar to what Ruohuan gongzi had done back then.
"Alright!"
Knowing that the other party was doing this for his own good, Hong Shi hesitated for a moment. Gritting his teeth, he stood up and walked over to Luo shi with widened strides.
"What are you up to this time?"
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything about the treasure he had stolen and instead, he invited Hong Shi over, Luo Zhao was perplexed.
"There's something I would like to trouble Luo shi with, and I hope that you can cooperate with me!"
Zhang Xuan raised his wine cup and continued drinking, ignoring Luo shi's words. On the other hand, Hong Shi stood before him and clasped his fist earnestly.
"Cooperate? Why should I cooperate?" Luo Zhao gritted his teeth.
You guys have already turned black into white, so why should I cooperate with you? Am I just waiting to be framed?
"If you don't cooperate, it means that you have a guilty conscience, and there's no need to continue. Don't worry, the truth can't be faked! "Hong Shi said.
"Alright, I'll cooperate. How do you want me to cooperate?"
Hearing the other party's words, Luo Zhao knew that if he didn't cooperate, it would mean that he had a guilty conscience. By then, it would be difficult for him to explain himself. Thus, Luo Zhao gritted his teeth and harrumphed.
Fine, I'll cooperate then. Let's see what tricks you have up your sleeves.
In any case, as long as you don't say what treasure I have stolen, I'll win regardless of what excuses you have.
"Stand up. Place your hands behind your back and don't move!"
Hong Shi beckoned.
"Hmph!" Even though Luo Zhao was on the verge of exploding, he still stood up and placed his hands behind his back.
"Ah, right. Maintain this posture and don't move..."
Hong Shi adjusted the other party's posture and found the most comfortable position for him. Then, he suddenly raised his palm and sent a slap over.
Pah!
The slap was crisp and clear.
"What?"
The crown prince was dumbfounded.
Wu Shi was dumbfounded.
Everyone in the room was dumbfounded.
Is this... the cooperation you speak of?
Maintain my posture and allow you to slap me?
"Screw you, Hong Qian, I'll kill you..." Luo Zhao was stunned for a moment before he finally came to his senses.
The slap left him dizzy, and he even lost a few teeth. If he didn't go berserk, he would really be a fool.
You told me to maintain my posture, but it turns out that you're just preparing to slap me...
Hong Qian, I, Luo Zhao, will never forgive you...
Luo Zhao was completely frenzied. Ignoring the crown prince and Wu Shi on the stage, he raised his palm and struck down on Hong Qian.
Hula!
His zhenqi was as sharp as a saber. Even before it arrived, the air was already distorted.
As a Transcendent Mortal 6-dan master teacher, regardless of whether it was in terms of cultivation or experience, he had reached an extremely high level. Even a mountain could be reduced to dust in the blink of an eye, needless to say, a human.
Hu!
Luo Zhao's attack struck empty air. Taking a closer look, he saw that Hong Shi, who had slapped him a moment ago, had already returned to his seat. He was holding a cup of fine wine in his hand leisurely, as if nothing had happened at all.
"Die..."
Luo Zhao roared furiously.
Ever since he became a master teacher, he had never suffered such humiliation. To be slapped in a posture in public...
Was there anything more despicable than this?
Luo Zhao was just about to charge forward to have a duel with Hong Qian when the young man who had just spoken bellowed indignantly.
"Enough, Luo shi! This is the crown prince's residence, the banquet hall. What do you mean by this? "
Luo Zhao nearly burst into tears.
You also know that this is the crown prince's residence?
Yet, you still instructed that slut Hong Qian to slap me? To make my teeth fall all over the floor?
I was the one who was injured, and yet you speak so righteously... as if you were the one who slapped me...
Luo Zhao turned to Wu Shi and the crown prince and said, "Hong Qian has insulted me. I beseech the two of you to grant me a duel to the death with him..."
Before Luo Zhao could finish his words, the young man not too far away interrupted him.
"Crown prince and Wu Shi, didn't you say that you wanted to know what treasure he stole from Hong Shi? In order to avoid unnecessary trouble and let others think that I'm making irresponsible remarks, I'll write it out now! "
After which, he flicked his wrist, and the Four Treasures of the Study appeared before him. Dipping them in ink, he began writing swiftly.
