If their group of three had refused to stand aside, perhaps Tianhai Chenwu, out of consideration for the Pope and Old Master Tang, would have casually disciplined him and Tang Thirty-Six. However, if it was Xuanyuan Po? It must be known that to these powerful figures, Xuanyuan Po's existence was no different from an ant's.
Chen Changsheng swiftly reached a conclusion: if Tang Thirty-Six had not extended his hand and pushed Xuanyuan Po into the wall, Tianhai Chenwu would absolutely have not minded killing Xuanyuan Po.
He was a peak Star Condensation expert. With the casual wave of a hand, every bone in Xuanyuan Po's body would shatter and he would die on the spot.
Even now, Chen Changsheng was unable to forget his experience in Xunyang City—the frightening power of Liang Wangsun's Vajra Pestle, and the even more terrifying spear of Painted Armor Xiao Zhang. And it was obvious that Tianhai Chenwu, in both cultivation and determination to kill, was stronger, fiercer, and shrewder than Liang Wangsun and Xiao Zhang. Crucially, he was the head of the Tianhai clan. Unless one was a person with a deep backing like Chen Changsheng or Tang Thirty-Six, if Tianhai Chenwu killed a normal person like Xuanyuan Po, was there anyone in the entire continent who would dare give even a word of objection? Even the White Emperor couple wouldn't say anything.
At this point, Chen Changsheng was finally able to rid himself of the chilliness in his heart. He turned to Tang Thirty-Six and seriously said, ”Before, didn't you often regard the Tianhai clan as beneath your contempt?”
Tang Thirty-Six had a rather nasty complexion, retorting, ”I spoke of my grandfather. Just when was I ever saying it about myself?”
Chen Changsheng contemplated this question, then replied, ”Last year when Guardian Jin invited us to a barbecue for the second time, you said it. Later on when you saw Tianhai Shengxue during the Grand Examination, you said it. Afterwards…”
”Okay, just stop already! Is it really so important that you have to take out the strength you used to comprehend the Heavenly Tome Monoliths to recollect?” Tang Thirty-Six said angrily.
Xuanyuan Po looked over and teased, ”You would also have teased me! In front of these powerful figures, all your toughness vanished.”
Tang Thirty-Six was furious, shouting, ”Let me put it straight to the two of you, that was the head of the Tianhai clan! He's not some random nobody! Besides, how was I not tough? Didn't you hear what that old man said before he walked off? Nobody has dared to provoke him in so many years! And who is it now that provokes him? Who is it that won't let him eat the autumn crab or the blue-blooded lobster! Who!?”
Suddenly, the sounds of hurried steps could be heard on the stairs.
Who had come was not today's invited guest of honor, but rather one of the Li Palace priests responsible for guarding the Orthodox Academy.
Tang Thirty-Six's expression grew concerned. Shifting his gaze to that priest, he asked, ”What happened?”
The Li Palace priest shot him a somewhat complex glance, asking, ”I heard…that Sir talked back to the Tianhai clan head?”
In Tang Thirty-Six's words, it had been a provocation, but in the view of the powers of the capital, he was just a junior of the Wenshui Tang clan. Tianhai Chenwu was absolutely his senior, so Tang Thirty-Six's words had been talking back.
Of course, using the phrase 'talking back' was, from a certain standpoint, also for Tang Thirty-Six to ponder his actions.
”Just say what happened,” Tang Thirty-Six said rather impatiently.
The Li Palace priest said nothing, instead taking out a thick stack of envelopes and placing them upon the table. He turned to Chen Changsheng and said, ”Principal Chen, please look them over.”
With these words, he took his leave.
Chen Changsheng took up the envelopes and opened them, one by one.
The restaurant was abnormally quiet. Tang Thirty-Six and Xuanyuan Po's eyes were transfixed on that stack of letters.
In truth, they had already guessed at what these envelopes were because, in the past twenty-odd days, the Orthodox Academy had received many similar envelopes.
