"I saw the whole thing," Mo Liu sighed in exasperation, massaging her temples. He suddenly regretted accompanying this fool to the dining hall today.
Couldn't he see that His Highness Crown Prince Rong Li's face had turned the shade of a pig in soy sauce, clearly expressing his displeasure?
This guy not only added fuel to the fire but also fearlessly provoked His Highness. Wasn't he afraid of provoking a lethal reaction?
"What's going on?" Ming Bao approached Rong Li with a cheerful grin, examining him closely and making disapproving sounds. "My word, this is downright ruthless!"
"Have you identified the culprit? His Highness Li, just give me the word, and I'll help you track down this person and ensure they face your wrath."
"No need to concern yourself," Rong Li responded calmly and began to exit.
Unexpectedly, as he moved, he caught sight of Duan Yue's handsome countenance diagonally across from him.
Instantly, his anger flared.
The more he gazed upon this kid's "mysterious" face, the more he suspected him of being the one who had ambushed him in the dead of night, covering him with a sack and administering a beating.
Thinking back, Rong Li seethed with frustration.
He had never expected that while he was leisurely admiring the academy's night scenery outside his courtyard, he would fall victim to a clandestine attack. A sack had been thrown over his head, and he had been subjected to a beating.
During the ordeal, he had felt an overwhelming discomfort, as if he had been drugged and unable to summon his spiritual energy.
To add insult to injury, the blood stasis dispersing pill he had used on his face had proven utterly ineffectual, failing to dissipate the bruising in the slightest.
He certainly hadn't planned to show up at the dining hall with such a disfigured and bruised face. He had invited two senior experts from the Pill Hall specifically to acquire the blood stasis dispersing pill!
To his astonishment, this blood stasis dispersing pill had proven utterly ineffective. To make matters worse, he had run into the audacious Ming Bao, exacerbating his predicament.
At this moment, the entire dining hall was abuzz with suppressed laughter and clandestine discussions about His Highness Crown Prince of the Ultramarine Province.
A dignified Crown Prince had been openly mocked for getting beaten up. It was likely that even his father, the Emperor of the Ultramarine Province, wouldn't recognize him in his current state.
Humiliated and fuming, Rong Li shot a glare at Duan Yue, who responded with an innocently smug expression.
"Let's go." Rong Li flung his sleeves and moved to leave. However, he was once again intercepted by Ming Bao. "Don't, don't go, Big Bro Rong Li."
"Who do you think you're calling 'Big Bro'?" Rong Li angrily brushed off Ming Bao's hand and let out a disdainful snort.
At this moment, he felt like he had one less escape route. Even though his pride had been severely bruised, and his eyes were mere slits, he still sensed the burning embarrassment on his face.
He wanted to unleash a torrent of curses!
Darn it, once he discovered who was responsible for the assault on his back, they would pay with their life.
No, it had to be a group of assailants who had attacked him the previous night. At the very least, he could distinctly feel that several fists of varying sizes had relentlessly pounded his face…
He couldn't fathom who he had provoked to merit such a ruthless response.
At this moment, Rong Li found himself cornered by Ming Bao within the dining hall, with no means of escape. His complexion was so dark that it seemed on the verge of dripping water.
"Just leave me alone."
"No, Big Bro Rong Li. It's been so many years since we last saw each other, hasn't it? It's a rare occasion. Let's sit down and catch up," Ming Bao insisted, unfazed by Rong Li's evident irritation.
"If you want to catch up, go and catch up with your Crown Prince. I'm not familiar with you!" Rong Li brusquely flung that fellow's hand away.
