When Jun Xie and his companions appeared before the gates of the Crown Prince's Residence, Lei Chen was already standing at the gates. The Crown Prince had come out to welcome them, and his attitude was extremely humble.
After the group took their seats, Lei Chen said with a smile: "It is a rare occasion for all of you to come here today, and I would like to propose a toast to all of you." Lei Chen was the first to raise his cup of wine and gulped it down.
After he finished his drink, Lei Chen sat down and looked at Jun Xie apologetically.
"For little brother Jun to come here today, I think it must have something to do with the rumours that spread today?" Lei Chen was no fool and he knew that Jun Xie and his companions would not come here for no reason.
The third round of the tournament had ended today and Jun Xie had suffered three consecutive forfeits from his opponents, which had caused people to accuse him of trying to suck up to him. With such a cold tempered youth, he would not be able to take it lying down.
"That's right." Jun Xie replied without batting an eyelid.
Lei Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Come to think of it, it was a mistake on my part. I had thought that it would be easier for little brother Jun to advance to the next round, but I ended up causing so much trouble for little brother Jun."
Lei Chen had indeed sought out the disciples who would be fighting Jun Xie in private. He had been keeping an eye on the Zephyr Academy's Spirit Healer faculty for a long time and he had naturally heard quite a bit about the disciples in the Spirit Healer faculty. From the information he had gathered, the disciples in the Spirit Healer faculty did not seem to be very diligent in their cultivation of their spirit powers and they focused more on their Spirit Healing Technique. This time, the Zephyr Academy had indeed been the dark horse, but Jun Xie was still very young and was a disciple of the Spirit Healer faculty. Moreover, he had sought out several other disciples from the Zephyr Academy and asked them about Jun Xie.
All of them had said that from the moment Jun Xie had entered the Zephyr Academy, he had not been cultivating his spirit powers at all, and he had been researching ways to improve the Spirit Healing Technique. Thinking back to that, it seemed that Jun Xie's spirit powers were not that high.
Lei Chen had not initially thought of seeking out those people as Jun Xie's first opponent would be a disciple of the Dragon Slayers Academy. He had just disgraced the Dragon Slayers Academy and if he were to approach them now, with the Dragon Slayers Academy's status, they would not be willing to budge.
But he had never thought that the Dragon Slayers Academy would choose to forfeit on the day of the match, which was completely out of Lei Chen's expectations.
Lei Chen did not know why the Dragon Slayers Academy's Lin Qi would choose to forfeit the match against Jun Xie, but with such a good start, he felt that it was only right for him to carry on with the rest. He had already said to Jun Xie and the others that he would put in some effort and since the Dragon Slayers Academy had so coincidentally chosen to forfeit, he had no reason not to continue to do so.
Hence, he went to look for the disciples who had fought against Jun Xie in the second and third rounds, and used money and promises to exchange for their forfeiture.
After all, they didn't have much confidence in competing with the academy that was in the limelight. Since they couldn't be sure that they could win, they might as well accept Lei Chen's conditions. That way, they would be able to obtain more benefits.
Everything was going according to Lei Chen's plan. But today, one of the youths appeared on the street with an injury. In an instant, rumors started to spread, which put Lei Chen in a passive position.
"There's no need for that." Jun Xie said as she glanced at the apologetic Lei Chen.
Lei Chen shook his head and said: "It's all my fault that I have implicated little brother Jun. It's not that I do not believe in little brother Jun's powers, but I was just trying to do what little I could to help. I hope little brother Jun will not hold it against me."
Jun Xie slowly poured out a cup of wine and with a twist of her wrist, she pushed it before Lei Chen.
