C114 (1/2)

Who would have thought a good match would turn out like this?

Flame Emperor said apologetically, ”Dean Mu, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect to disturb your academy's competition. I'll personally pay respects to Dean Mu another day.”

Mu Zhongli did not dare to allow the Flame Emperor to pay his respects. He said with a wry smile, ”This was also the negligence of our students. I really didn't expect that there would be a court offender hiding here.”

Actually, this matter had nothing to do with the Sky Realm Academy, or even Di Chen, or Qiu Tang. was not worth worrying about, but since Yuan Tong had put this matter on the table, the Flame Emperor could not pretend that nothing had happened.

To be honest, Flame Emperor was not angry at Di Chen, but at Yuan Tong who did not understand the big picture. He was angry at Qiu Tang for taking the initiative to take responsibility, if Qiu Tang had only told him in private that the Flame Emperor would not be so angry today.

”It's not convenient for me to stay in this competition any longer, I can just let Prime Minister and General Ai stay here.”

The Flame Emperor cupped his fists towards Mu Zhongli and said, ”Principal Mu, I'm really sorry.”

Flame Emperor no longer had the mood to watch the competition after being harassed like this. He apologized to Principal Mu and immediately left, but Jin Kai and Ai Lun stayed behind.

Mu Zhongli continued to compete, but it was obvious that some of the students were no longer in the mood to continue. The entire match was lifeless, and even he, the dean, was not in the mood to watch.

What happened just now was very sudden, but the Flame Emperor's reaction made Mu Zhongli feel a little strange. Who wouldn't know that the Flame Emperor was trying to drive Di Chen out of the academy on purpose?

The people of the imperial government were really scheming, but even if Mu Zhongli knew about it, he couldn't say it out loud.

After Flame Emperor left, he went to his own room, where Qiu Tang was already waiting for him.

”You were too rash just now,” Flame Emperor said angrily. Just now, Qiu Tang had guaranteed the crime of becoming the head of the imperial court in front of so many people.

Qiu Tang laughed bitterly: ”royal father, you should know that Imperial Physician Qin was probably framed by people. You should be very clear about whether or not he was conspiring against us, and I have interacted with Qin Suer for a few days, she has been studying pathology in the academy everyday and concocting medicine, so she does not have any thoughts of conspiring against us. The truth is, the reason I helped them guarantee it is because Di Chen and Qin Suer are both talented people, I cannot bear to see them being persecuted.”

How could the Flame Emperor not understand that Qin Suer was Qin Zheng's daughter, one of Qin Zheng's heirlooms, an expert in medical skills, and Di Chen was a literati. He also trained in the martial spirit of light, so Qiu Tang only wanted to win them over.

If Qiu Tang had only spoken up for the two of them in private, maybe the two would not be so grateful to Qiu Tang, but now, as a prince, Qiu Tang had actually guaranteed their relationship in front of so many people. This was not something an ordinary person could do, Di Chen would definitely be grateful to Qiu Tang.

Flame Emperor knew Qiu Tang's thoughts, he only felt that Qiu Tang's actions were too radical. All of this was built on the foundation that Di Chen and Qin Suer did not have any ill intentions.

”That's right,” Qiu Tang asked curiously. ”Where's Di Chen?”

Flame Emperor said, ”I have already expelled him from the Sky Realm Academy.”

Qiu Tang thought for a while and said: ”Then can I recruit Di Chen?”

Flame Emperor shook his head: ”I just forced Di Chen out of the Sky Realm Academy, and in the blink of an eye, I had already recruited Di Chen, that doesn't make sense, but I will send people to keep an eye on Di Chen, and when the time is right, I will recruit him into the imperial court, at that time, even if he doesn't want to, he will not be able to agree.”

It was very hard to find someone like the Flame Emperor who had cultivated in the martial soul, so how could he miss out on someone as talented as Di Chen? Therefore, the Flame Emperor did not capture Di Chen just now but instead took the opportunity to let Di Chen leave the Sky Realm Academy, only then would the imperial government have the chance to recruit Di Chen.

Mu Zhongli was also a smart person, how could he not see through the Flame Emperor's intentions? However, he could not say much about this matter, since Di Chen and Qin Suer were related.

Qiu Tang thought for a while, then asked: ”royal father, what about Qin Suer?”

Flame Emperor stared at Qiu Tang for a while and frowned, ”The reason you came out to vouch for them was not only because you trust them, but because you have fallen for Qin Suer?”

Qiu Tang originally wanted to refute him, but the words that were just about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back. It was indeed because he liked Qin Suer that he guaranteed his words.

Flame Emperor was silent for a moment, then said: ”There must be a reason behind Qin Zheng's matter, and I believe that he will not rebel, but he is already dead, so there is no need to bother with this matter, as for Qin Suer, she is also considered to be a capable doctor, I will spare her life, just forget it, I will take credit for my crimes.”

Qiu Tang heaved a sigh of relief. To him, it was best if Qin Suer was fine.

Outside the Sky Realm Academy!

Di Chen stood alone at the entrance of the academy. Not long after entering the academy, he was chased out, and if big brother Shang Yu knew about this, he would probably be enraged. On the other hand, Di Chen had nothing to do with leaving the Sky Realm Academy, it was just that Di Chen was a little regretful that he had not seen Shang Yu before.

Di Chen sighed, he turned and was about to leave when he suddenly saw Liu Jingjing standing behind him with her hands behind her back, smiling at him.
