Inside the small tea house, a few figures were seated in groups of two or three.
Ye Qiu was currently using his Sharingan, looking in the direction of Tang San and the others.
The tall elder sitting opposite him was Bone Douluo Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Kid, can you really see clearly sitting here?" Bone Douluo followed Ye Qiu's gaze; opposite them was clearly a pleasure house.
"Hoo~" Ye Qiu exhaled a breath of turbid air, alleviating some of the restlessness within his body.
The business opposite was really good.
His eye twitched.
After adjusting himself, Ye Qiu replied, "Bone Senior, don't worry, I can see clearly. Tang San and the others have already entered that restaurant."
"That's good. Then you continue to monitor." Bone Douluo nodded.
"Uh, I… I'll rest for a bit first." Ye Qiu looked embarrassed, letting out a few dry laughs.
"Heh, you kid." Bone Douluo let out two strange laughs.
He understood that young men were full of vigor.
He didn't rush him anymore.
...
At this moment, Tang San and the others had already entered the private room where Xue Beng was.
Hun Feng and Mo Wuchang were seated on either side of Xue Beng.
As soon as the door opened, Xue Beng, who was seated in the middle, immediately stood up to greet them.
With a smile on his face, he let out a hearty laugh.
"Haha… Teachers, Xue Beng greets you here. Please come in, please come in!"
"Your Highness's invitation truly flatters us." Flender pushed Yu Xiaogang, a smile on his face carrying a hint of satisfaction and a bit of mockery.
"This is nothing. This time, I mainly want to apologize to everyone. After the meal, I will definitely arrange for everyone to teach at Heaven Dou Royal Academy!" Xue Beng dared not put on any airs at this moment, lest he disrupt Evil Blood Douluo's plan.
He offered various apologies to Flender and the others.
Hearing Xue Beng's words, Yu Xiaogang's eyes flickered, and he had already begun to imagine himself becoming the Royal Fight Team's leader, leading them to victory.
"Hmph! Last time he called us eunuchs, and now he wants to invite us over." Dai Mubai's eyes, which had become somewhat long and narrow, narrowed as he scrutinized Xue Beng.
Xue Beng's body trembled.
Unable to bear his gaze, he quickly went against his conscience and apologized with a smile, "I offended you greatly last time. Please, brave sir, do not hold it against me. Today I will clear up these misunderstandings."
"Haha…" Dai Mubai let out a delicate laugh with a somewhat rough voice.
Misunderstanding?
Tang San's eyes flashed. Could there be some hidden reason behind what happened last time?
Xue Beng bowed slightly again and invited, "Alright everyone, let's sit down and talk."
"Mhm, Flender, Little San, let's go in." Yu Xiaogang nodded.
He was already a bit impatient!
At Blue Tyrant Academy, he was completely idle, with no opportunity to display his talents!
"Mubai, Wuji, let's go in." Flender nodded.
He took the lead, walking into the private room with his head held high and chest out.
He looked up and met Mo Wuchang's gaze.
His body immediately trembled.
Mo Wuchang's jet-black longsword and his murderous aura flashed in his mind.
Yu Xiaogang was even worse.
Pushed by Flender, he faced Mo Wuchang directly, their gazes meeting.
He gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly, sweat already beginning to bead on his forehead.
Mo Wuchang sneered inwardly.
On his face, however, he raised his cup, showing his friendliness.
"Everyone, please take your seats quickly."
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
Although it was the other party apologizing, since Mo Wuchang was sitting there, Flender couldn't take it lightly.
The necessary respect still had to be shown.
Beside him was Hun Feng, whose gaze lingered on Yu Xiaogang for a few moments.
He knew that Yu Xiaogang was the so-called 'Wisdom Corner' of the Golden Triangle.
He was also the son of that old dragon from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
He heard that their Spirit Fusion Skill was the Luminous Sacred Dragon, but because Yu Xiaogang's Spirit was dominant, their attack methods were limited to his three axe-like moves.
Hun Feng adjusted his glasses, the lenses reflecting a slight glint, and a faint smile played on his lips.
He already had the intention of getting closer to Yu Xiaogang.
After everyone was seated, Xue Beng immediately began to liven up the atmosphere.
He stood up, holding his wine cup.
"Everyone, Xue Beng is here to offer a sincere apology for what happened last time! Driving you away was not my intention."
"The truth is, as the Fourth Prince, I am constantly feared by my Crown Prince. I was forced to feign being a profligate for over ten years!"
"I'm sorry! Everyone."
Saying this, Xue Beng looked around, then tilted his head back and drank the wine.
Tang San and the others understood.
They could comprehend such actions given the brutal competition for power within the imperial family…
Mo Wuchang also sat in his seat, raising his cup in a gesture.
"Please forgive us for what happened last time."
Flender and Zhao Wuji exchanged glances. A Titled Douluo had spoken, how could they refuse!
"Haha… Your Excellency, Your Highness, you are both too kind. We were also at fault back then; our students were a bit mischievous." Flender quickly offered an apologetic smile.
"We can consider this a friendship forged through conflict. Everyone, please don't be polite. All expenses today will be paid by this prince!"
Amidst the clinking of cups, after three rounds of drinks, just as Yu Xiaogang could no longer hold back, Xue Beng finally brought up the matter he had been yearning for again.
"Teachers, I sincerely invite you to return to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to teach. What do you think?"
Yu Xiaogang and Flender exchanged glances.
He ignored Flender's hesitation and immediately said with great joy, "Of course, there's no problem. It's our honor to be able to teach at the Royal Academy!"
"Xiaogang, Erlong…" Flender looked troubled. Leaving directly without first greeting Liu Erlong would be quite improper.
"Hmph! Flender, if you don't think for yourself, you should at least think for the children, right? The Soul Master Competition, that's their stage!" Yu Xiaogang only wanted to finalize this matter as soon as possible to avoid any complications.
Flender sighed softly, saying nothing more.
"Good! We will discuss these related matters further after the meal." Xue Beng smiled.
It seemed they weren't as principled as he had imagined.
His gaze locked onto Tang San.
Next, he would take Tang San to Evil Blood Douluo.
"Oh, by the way, I wonder which of the talented young men present is the son of His Excellency, Hao Tian?"
"Your Highness, I am Tang San!" Tang San stood up and bowed slightly.
"The son of His Excellency, Hao Tian, is indeed a talented individual."
Facing Xue Beng's praise, Tang San didn't take it seriously; he still remembered Xue Beng's insults that night.
He didn't say much more, immediately asking the question he cared about most.
"Your Highness, do you know any news about my father?"
Hun Feng and Xue Beng exchanged glances. They had thought it would take more effort, but things were surprisingly smooth.
Hun Feng stood up, smiling as he said, "Actually, His Excellency, Hao Tian, is right here in this restaurant."
"What?!"
It wasn't just Tang San; Yu Xiaogang and the others also turned pale with shock.
