Chapter 64

Just as Bai Ran was about to give the Fourth Prince Xue Beng a profound lesson,

A squad of knights belonging to the imperial family entered the room, all came forward, and pressed Bai Ran to the ground.

"Xue Beng, you worthless prince, why do you have imperial knights as guards!"

Bai Ran's tone was full of disbelief.

one elementary Soul Douluo plus two advanced Soul Saints,

This damn, even the security detail for Emperor Xue Ye's travels is no more than this.

"What does Xue Beng have?" "Eh, that's not right, why are the imperial knights here?"

Xue Beng also felt puzzled; the only guard beside him was a Soul Emperor, arranged by his uncle, Prince Xue Xing.

Of course, faced with the reversal of circumstances, Xue Beng revealed his petty nature.

Seeing Bai Ran being pressed to the ground by one Soul Douluo and two Soul Saints,

Xue Beng rubbed his sore neck, walked over to Bai Ran, crouched down, and, under the other's near‑murderous gaze, slapped his cheek.

"Crazy, keep being crazy, why aren't you crazy anymore? Go, take off your socks and stuff them into this brat's mouth."

Xue Beng said, then ordered these imperial knights to act.

However, these knights merely stood where they were, as if they hadn't heard Xue Beng's words.

"Hey, what's going on? Did you hear what this prince said!"

For some reason, Xue Beng suddenly had a bad feeling.

……

"Oh dear, at first I didn't believe it, but seeing your soul rings appear, I'm still quite surprised."

"You're a Soul Saint in your teens—you really make me happy, right, Bai Ran classmate."

A somewhat neutral voice came from outside the door.

Soon after, a young man in white robes slowly walked in.

His hair was casually tied up, his figure tall and slender.

His hair was jet‑black, hanging down to his ankles, looking clean and neat; a pair of peach‑blossom eyes glimmered with a bewitching light, his eyebrows were the standard willow‑leaf shape, curved like a new moon.

His lips were thin and slightly pursed, giving him a sexy, charming look.

"Big brother!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Compared to the shocked Xue Beng and the imperial knights serving the crown prince.

At this moment, Bai Ran, pressed to the ground, his face darkened; he remembered that he had never revealed his strength in public, so why had this crown prince discovered him.

However, seeing Zhu Zhuqing appear behind Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Bai Ran felt amused.

That stupid woman.

Oh dear, watching her rush anxiously to his front, trying to push away those imperial knights, only to be shoved back by them and plop down on the ground, looking clueless and helpless.

Bai Ran roughly guessed what had happened.

Most likely, Zhu Zhuqing happened to run into Crown Prince Xue Qinghe at the academy.

Faced with the junior schoolmate whose talent was not bad, he heard she had been suppressed by the incompetent Fourth Prince.

The crown prince, his sense of justice overflowing, decided to uphold justice for the junior schoolmate.

An enthusiastic upperclassman and a cold‑hearted underclasswoman.

If this upperclassman were not Qian Renxue in disguise,

Bai Ran would suspect that the crown prince harbored ill intentions toward Zhu Zhuqing.

Now it seems Crown Prince Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) wasn't after Zhu Zhuqing after all—he was actually after Bai Ran.

"Why?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, obviously this shouldn't be the case. "Oh dear, little schoolmate, you're really naive."

"This brat intends to assassinate the Fourth Prince of the Empire; his actions amount to treason."

"Take him away!"

"Sorry, Bai Ran, I just..."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Bai Ran pressed to the ground and apologized earnestly.

She had originally only intended to come with the crown prince to punish Xue Beng,

but she hadn't expected Bai Ran to have already arrived first.

The crown prince punishing the Fourth Prince is an internal royal matter, but Bai Ran's move was an attempt to kill a royal family member— the two are worlds apart.

"Zhu Zhuqing, you're not wrong; I'm the one who erred, I was too impulsive."

Bai Ran's state at this moment was very calm.

I never expected such a coincidence: Crown Prince Xue Qinghe would suddenly come to the academy and just happen to meet Zhu Zhuqing, who had been suppressed by the Fourth Prince,

and, moreover, it happened to be exactly when I revealed my soul rings and was about to move against Xue Beng that he led the imperial knights charging in to take control of the situation.

To be honest, Bai Ran wondered whether he had long been noticed by this crown prince,

but previously there had simply been no opportunity, so he hadn't acted.

"Big brother, you have to stand up for me—this brat grabbed my throat the moment he came up, looking like he wanted to kill me; you can't just let him off easily."

At this moment, Xue Beng came forward to fan the flames.

He pointed at Bai Ran pressed to the ground while speaking excitedly.

Although Xue Beng disliked this big brother and even felt that this big brother had been swapped out,

at least, on the surface, he is still his brother; in public, he remains that good elder brother who loves his younger sibling.

"Get lost—do you still think the trouble you've caused isn't big enough? Since entering the academy you've been bullying men and women, doing nothing productive all day. I'll report every little misdeed you've done in the academy to the father emperor in full detail."

Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) couldn't care less about this trash prince.

If it weren't for him being too trash and if he were dead, the Snow Night Emperor would suspect her Xue Qinghe, and the avalanche would have already been taken care of.

"Zhu Zhuqing, go ahead and leave; I shouldn't restrict your personal freedom, nor your freedom to dress, I'm just a lowly man who objectifies women."

From the moment Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) discovered him, Bai Ran knew his identity could no longer be hidden.

Starting today, the list of the Seven Great Sects plus the Spirit Hall will feature a peerless heavenly prodigy who broke through to Soul Saint at age twelve.

Whether it's the Seven Great Sects or the Spirit Hall, no matter which side you join, you'll be hunted to death by the other side's Title Douluo.

As for the weak and incapable Tian Dou Empire? It simply can't protect Bai Ran, who currently only has Soul Saint cultivation.

Although Bai Ran knows his father might have a solution, the cost would likely be quite painful.

"Bai Ran, I'm not leaving; I, Zhu Zhuqing, have already decided on you."

Aren't you able to unleash combat power above Soul Douluo?

Hurry up and burst forth; I'll go with you, leave the Tian Dou Empire, to a place where no one knows us.

Zhu Zhuqing saying that, Bai Ran's mouth corner involuntarily twitched.

Originally I still wanted to rely on this method, unexpectedly, to capture this Crown Prince.

Now it's fine; the only trump card was blown by this stupid woman Zhu Zhuqing.

Bai Ran felt that the Soul Douluo who had been suppressing him was exerting even more force, as if afraid he might break free.

Bai Ran: I have class at 8 a. m.; isn't this little cat supposed to love eating fish the most? How does it have zero intelligence, with all its emotions developing into balls?

Wrong, wrong.

There's a version T0 wife, satisfied now?
