"His Excellency Haotian, what are you doing? I was the one who asked you to punish Ye Feng, not me!"
Upon being slapped across the face, the man was completely baffled as he looked at Tang Hao.
Of course, he had no idea that Tang Hao's purpose in coming here was to give him a severe lesson!
"I am hitting you. Xiaosan almost died in the ring because of you. If Liu Erlong hadn't called a halt in time, he would be a corpse now!"
Tang Hao said in an icy tone.
"Your Excellency Haotian, there has been a misunderstanding! At that time, I believed that Xiaosan could endure and turn defeat into victory, and that was also a kind of trial for him!"
Master said with a look of grievance toward Tang Hao!
He had originally wanted to ask Tang Hao to take action to teach Ye Feng a lesson.
And incidentally help to clear an obstacle for him.
But instead, he was the one being hit.
What kind of situation was this!
"Slap—"
Tang Hao slapped him again!
Without hesitation, he gave Master's face another smack.
Did he, Tang Hao, believe such excuses? Absolutely not!
"Your Excellency Haotian, please spare me! I dare not, I dare not anymore!"
At this moment, Master's face was burning with pain.
Downstairs.
"Did I just hear Brock's voice just now? It sounded like he was pleading for mercy?"
Chancellor Erlong's beautiful eyes conveyed a hint of suspicion.
"I think I heard his voice too."
In Xiaosan's sick room, Ning Rongrong spoke up.
All the women were there.
"Heh, he was ignored today, and now he's probably causing some commotion to get attention, wanting us to pay more attention to him!"
Xiaowu said with a sneer.
"I'll go get some fruit for you,"
Liu Erlong said as she got up.
Ning Rongrong and Xiaowu exchanged glances.
How could they not know that Chancellor Erlong was definitely worried about Master?
She was using the excuse of getting fruit to go upstairs and see what was going on.
Up in the attic.
"Ah, Your Excellency Haotian, you're here!"
Flander had heard noises from the attic earlier and thought Ye Feng had come to beat up Master.
But when he arrived to see for himself.
He was stupefied.
It was Tang Hao slapping Master's face.
"Get lost!"
Tang Hao did not pay attention to Flander and simply replied with the word "get lost".
"Alright, alright, I'm going."
Flander quietly retreated to the doorway.
Master's face was now swollen from being slapped.
"Boss, what's going on?"
Zhao Wuji also rushed over.
"Shh—"
Flander gestured for silence.
Zhao Wuji peered through the door and saw Master's face puffed up and red like a pig's head.
"Help! Your Excellency Haotian, I know I was wrong!!"
Master shouted with a mournful face.
Tang Hao did not stop.
He continued to slap.
"Master Flender, Vice Principal Zhao Wuji? What exactly happened here?"
Liu Erlong climbed up to the attic.
Her eyes were filled with confusion.
"Your Excellency Haotian, please, please spare me!"
Master whined pitifully, utterly wretched.
"Brock? Your Excellency Haotian, I share the responsibility for today's incident as the principal of the academy, so please…"
"Get lost—"
Liu Erlong had not even finished speaking.
When a heavy roar of anger erupted from Tang Hao.
"Bang—"
Liu Erlong was sent flying a hundred meters by Tang Hao's Soul Pressure!
Erlong!
Flander quickly activated his Martial Soul True Body.
"If you continue to treat Xiaosan like this, I will deal with you in the same manner!"
Tang Hao slapped Master three hundred and fifty times.
Then he spoke with an icy voice.
"Your Excellency Haotian, I, Brock, swear to the heavens that I will definitely protect Xiaosan from now on!"
Master Brock had lost half of his teeth, his nose was bruised, and his face swollen; even his own mother probably wouldn't recognize him!
However, pitiful people often have detestable aspects about them!
If the person called Xiaosan had stopped in time, perhaps he wouldn't have had a visit from someone's father.
"Flender."
Tang Hao looked over at Flender!
"Your Excellency Haotian, what are your orders!"
Upon hearing this, Flender's entire demeanor became spirited.
"I'll note your debts for today, but if something like this happens again, I will make sure you pay the price!!"
Tang Hao glared at Flender!
"Guaranteed to do so!!"
Flender was only a Soul Sage; how could he dare to defy the other's words at this moment.
He immediately responded.
Not being reprimanded this time was already incredibly fortunate.
"Good, I hope you remember what you've just said. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of Xiaosan from now on!"
Tang Hao, cloaked in his gray mantle, promptly vanished.
His words carried an unprecedented chill.
He had uncovered a sliver of a clue.
It was about the Bluesilver Emperor!
Now he had to investigate.
He also needed to check if this Ye Feng really had any ties to the Martial Soul Hall.
Why would Martial Soul Hall cultivate such a level of genius.
His son was not even close to the other person.
"Your Excellency Haotian, take care!"
Upon hearing this sentence, Flender, standing straight outside the door, addressed Haotian.
"Help, help me..."
From the inner room where Master Brock was, came a series of moans for help.
The entire person seemed as if he had lost everything.
And that swollen face looked just like an inflated balloon.
However, the pathetic cries arose, Shrek ignored him!
To put it accurately, Master Brock brought this upon himself.
They had no obligation to clean up after him.
"Second Dragon, Wuji, I have other matters as well, so I'll be heading back first."
Just then, Flender spoke up.
And just like that, he too disappeared.
"Chancellor Erlong, I also have some unfinished business and must leave first."
After saying that, Zhao Wuji left as well.
"Sigh..."
Liu Erlong sighed softly.
Her brows were furrowed.
She seemed very haggard.
Truthfully, she wasn't really keen on getting involved either.
It was also fortunate that she had called a halt in time.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Erlong, even you won't help me now?"
At that moment, Master Brock's voice could be heard.
Of course, his words were weak.
After all, his mouth and face were already swollen like a pig's head.
But seeing Erlong about to leave,
he asked in a very pained stance.
"Brock, if only you had listened to my advice today, none of this would have happened."
Liu Erlong spoke with an appearance of fatigue.
"It's not that I didn't listen, it's just that Ye Feng is too malicious!"
Mentioning Ye Feng, Brock now felt an itch of hatred.
It was all because of him that he ended up like this!
If he could, he would definitely settle the score with him in the future!
"Brock, don't you understand yet?"
Liu Erlong sighed deeply again after hearing Master Brock's words.
"Understand what? Is it wrong that I want to properly train my disciple? One day, you all will see the righteousness of my actions!"
At that moment, Master Brock struggled to squeeze out a sentence with his swollen mouth.
He never thought he was wrong.
And he hadn't been wrong.
"Sigh."
Liu Erlong sighed once more.
In her eyes was full-fledged disappointment.
Why had this man become what he was?
...
