Chapter 111: Xue Xing Backs Wu Qi

After a moment of silence, Wu Qi argued based on reason:

"Letting me form Imperial Fighting Team Two was the Crown Prince's decision."

"Now that the team is formed and has displayed great strength, people are jealous and want to pluck the fruits of our labor. This is disregarding the Crown Prince's face!"

Qin Ming scolded, "Do not make false accusations! The three Education Committees' earnest intentions are naturally for the sake of the Crown Prince."

"Then let me ask you, were the procedures for letting Feng Xiaotian and the other two join Imperial Fighting Team Two handled by the three Education Committees? Behind this, was it the three Education Committees' effort?"

This was truly not the case.

Recruiting Feng Xiaotian and the other two was entirely Wu Qi running around busily on his own.

It was only after the matter was accomplished that the three Education Committees learned of it.

Being spoken to like this by Qin Ming, the three felt embarrassed and hurriedly interrupted: "Ahem, Xiao Ming, as a teacher, you should lead by example and be more restrained in your speech."

"Little Wu, this is also for the long-term consideration of the academy."

"At your age, you can still participate in one more Spirit Master Tournament. I guarantee you that the right to form Imperial Fighting Team One for the tournament after next will be entirely up to you. How about that?"

Wu Qi sneered in his heart.

Compared to him, the three Education Committees clearly valued Qin Ming more.

As for the tournament after next, the Heaven Dou imperial court would be shaken, and Bibi Dong's Soul Hunting Plan would destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and severely damage the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The continent would be in a state of panic; under such circumstances, how could the Spirit Master Tournament proceed?

It could be said that the next Spirit Master Tournament would be the last one for more than a decade.

Regardless of whether there was the fallback option of Seven Treasure Academy, Wu Qi would not adopt Meng Shenji's words.

This was completely fooling a fool.

When he first joined the academy, it was agreed that Imperial Fighting Team Two would be formed entirely by him. A few words from Qin Ming could change their minds, and as for the more distant future, whether Meng Shenji would honor the agreement was another matter.

Just as both sides were deadlocked in their dispute, Prince Xue Xing and Dugu Bo arrived at the Education Committee together.

The Prince's Guard surrounded the three Education Committees and Qin Ming, and Xue Xing's move clearly showed he was standing up for Wu Qi.

"Chief Meng Shenji, don't forget that I am the actual administrator of the academy," Prince Xue Xing said with his hands behind his back, full of arrogance.

The argument between Wu Qi and Qin Ming was being discussed everywhere in the academy, and Xue Beng had passed the news out the moment he learned of it.

Prince Xue Xing had wanted to recruit Wu Qi all along, and this move hit the mark perfectly.

"Your Highness, what is the meaning of this?" Meng Shenji's expression was ugly.

Anyone with eyes knew that the Heaven Dou Imperial Family generally did not interfere with academy management, and all matters, big or small, were handled by the three Education Committees.

Prince Xue Xing jumping out at this time clearly meant he wanted to recruit Wu Qi.

It was true that Meng Shenji was greedy for credit, but if Wu Qi were to lean toward the Xue Xing faction, that would be a real sin.

Prince Xue Xing sneered, "Your efforts, I have seen them, and I will naturally report them to His Majesty to praise your achievements."

"But I think the current Imperial Fighting Team Two is just fine, and there is no need to change it."

At the same time, Dugu Bo quietly transmitted his voice to Wu Qi, "Little fellow, this play is being performed according to your wishes. Are you sure about this?"

Wu Qi remained calm and gave a reassuring look.

Seeing someone intervene, Qin Ming felt anxious and interjected, "Your Highness, only by breaking up the existing Imperial Fighting Team Two can the academy's teams achieve long-term development."

"Could it be that you do not wish to see the academy's two teams enter the grand finals hand in hand?"

Xue Xing scoffed and looked at the three Education Committees with a provocative gaze, "The three of you, is this the successor you have taught?"

"Does he have any place to speak here?"

"If the three of you cannot bear to do it, I am willing to teach him a lesson on your behalf."

Meng Shenji frowned, "Your Highness, do not go too far! Breaking up the existing Imperial Fighting Team Two is the Education Committee's idea and has nothing to do with Xiao Ming. Our decisions are not for Your Highness to point fingers at!"

Prince Xue Xing sighed, "Chief Meng Shenji is truly senile. To have a strong team and not want it, but instead think of breaking it up. I am very worried about your current health; I will request His Majesty later to let you retire and recuperate."

Zhilin Hun Douluo's expression was ugly.

He did not quite approve of breaking up Imperial Fighting Team Two, but in order to recruit Shrek Academy, trade-offs had to be made.

Since it was a decision made by the three of them together, he immediately spoke up to defend it, "Your Highness, the academy is not a place for you to act recklessly. If you continue like this, I will certainly report you to His Majesty."

……

The war of words between the two sides never ceased until noon, when perhaps feeling hungry, they finally stopped.

Before leaving, Prince Xue Xing extended an invitation to Wu Qi, "Young Friend Wu, would you care to accompany me to Chunqiu Restaurant?"

Wu Qi cupped his hands, "Apologies, Your Highness, I have important matters to attend to with His Excellency Dugu this afternoon. How about another day?"

Xue Xing naturally knew the relationship between Wu Qi and Dugu Bo.

He believed from the bottom of his heart that Dugu Bo was one of his own, so he naturally did not object to their contact. On the contrary, he even thought that Dugu Bo was helping him recruit Wu Qi.

"That is truly a pity." Saying this, Xue Xing walked away with a dashing gait and added, "Little friend, rest assured, if the three Education Committees act against you, feel free to report my name."

Watching Xue Xing and his party leave, Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask, "What matter do you have?"

He believed that what Wu Qi said just now was not an excuse, but that he really had something to ask of him.

"Where is Dugu Yan? I have to ask her first, and then I will ask you to take action."

"Follow me."

……

Qin Ming had already been reinstated, and Imperial Fighting Team was gradually resuming training.

However, they were all training freely; because of the quota for Team Two, Qin Ming could not manage them for the time being.

Inside the dormitory.

Wu Qi asked, "Yan Zi, are your cultivation resources all provided by the old man?"

Dugu Bo and Wu Qi addressed each other as brothers, so logically Dugu Yan should still call him "Grandfather."

Wu Qi did not take advantage of this "benefit," and the two treated each other as peers.

She was puzzled, "That's right, the academy's resources aren't very suitable for my martial soul, they aren't of much help to me."

Wu Qi asked again: "Besides you, does Yu Tianheng also not use the academy's resources?"

Dugu Yan: "Tianheng's resources are all provided by his family; not just him, all of us rarely use the academy's resources."

"Wu Qi, why do you ask about this?"

Dugu Bo also cast a curious gaze over.

Wu Qi would not ask about this matter without reason; there must be something connected to it.

"Yan Zi, I know you hate Qin Ming to the bone. My question just now is enough to bring about Qin Ming's total ruin; it just depends on whether you are willing to come forward with the Imperial Fighting team members to testify."

Speaking of Qin Ming, Dugu Yan's expression turned gloomy.

If it weren't for Dugu Yan holding her back, she would have long since gone to cause trouble for him.

Now, her strength has reached level forty-five, and within the Imperial Fighting Team One, her voice carries more weight than Yu Tianheng's.

If she were to state her position, Yu Feng and the others certainly would not refuse.

"Little fellow, what bombshell evidence have you discovered? Hurry up and say it, you're killing me with impatience," Dugu Bo urged.
