Peerless: Everyone's Transmigrated, Who's Still Going to Be Tang San's Son-in-Law?

Chapter 209 Each Person's Scheme

Chapter 209 Each Person's Scheme

Jing Hongchen quickly came to her senses and hurriedly walked outside, with Lin Jiayi and Xu Mochen following immediately.

"Your humble servant greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Xu Tianran, however, sat respectfully in his wheelchair and bowed slightly to Jing Hongchen. "Tianran greets Hall Master. Due to my physical disability, I am unable to perform the proper greeting. Please forgive me, Hall Master."

After sitting up, Xu Tianran said to Xu Mochen, "Mochen, get up. We're all brothers, no need to be so polite."

Xu Mochen would never underestimate Xu Tianran because of his gentle and polite manner. On the contrary, he had already experienced the Crown Prince's methods firsthand.

Those princes who were quietly executed by slow slicing in the palace are the best examples.

At this moment, Xu Mo was already cursing Wang Shaojie in his heart. He didn't even do a background check before arresting people. Wasn't he just setting his cousin up?

At this moment, Xu Mochen was already glad that he had waited a little longer just in case. If he had been executed earlier, there might have been more trouble.

After all, Huo Yuhao had said so many threatening things, which were clearly meant for him, and Xu Mochen understood the implication.

Huo Yuhao made so many threatening remarks, repeatedly emphasizing that Xu Mochen couldn't kill him, and even mentioning the matter of the Dai family's eldest son, clearly indicating two facts—

First, Huo Yuhao's identity is very important. If Xu Mochen really dares to kill Huo Yuhao, then he will face Jing Hongchen's desperate revenge, because Huo Yuhao is Shrek Academy's bargaining chip to balance the other Shrek Academy students and Xiao and Meng.

Secondly, there's Huo Yuhao's attitude: whoever leads a group to attack him, Huo Yuhao will fight to the death to retaliate, regardless of their power, just like the dismissed eldest son of the White Tiger Duke and his murdered subordinates.

Most importantly, does Huo Yuhao have the ability to take revenge on Xu Mochen? However, after thinking about it for a long time, Xu Mochen felt that Huo Yuhao really did.

With the training of the top academy on the continent, Huo Yuhao will one day reach a level of strength that can crush him.

But this is not the main reason why Xu Mochen backed down. After all, as long as Huo Yuhao does not reach the limit, Xu Mochen, as a member of the royal family, is already a Soul Emperor. Once Huo Yuhao grows up, it won't be a big problem for Xu Mochen to become a Soul Douluo. At that time, with his own cultivation, how many powerful people in the open can secretly kill him?

What truly made Xu Mo hesitate was Huo Yuhao's mental attributes and his strange abilities that resembled illusions.

If someone like that is determined to take revenge, it's really impossible to guard against. Who knows, it's not impossible that Xu Mochen might walk down the street and stab himself thirty-eight times, committing suicide.

So Xu Mochen chickened out. Since he couldn't kill Huo Yuhao, he even gave up his original plan to torture Huo Yuhao. He was worried that his subordinates might not know better and would directly put Huo Yuhao to torture. So he abandoned his idea of ​​hiding away and not getting involved and came to "supervise the torture" himself.

"I received news that the Hall Master rushed to the palace, even flying directly above Mingdu. I thought the Hall Master had encountered some trouble, so I came to see if there was anything I could do to help... Hmm? This person looks a bit unfamiliar."

Xu Tianran smiled slightly, while glancing at Huo Yuhao, who was being supported by Lin Jiayi, behind Jing Hongchen.

Lin Jiayi and Xu Tianran naturally knew each other; Lin Jiayi was the number one lackey of the Mirror Red Dust Hall Master.

Since it's an interrogation room, Jing Hongchen must have come personally for the person Lin Jiayi was helping up? I wonder what kind of genius she is that Jing Hongchen values ​​so much.

I don't have much contact with Ju Zi, so why did Xu Tianran come over here?

Looking at the man in the wheelchair in front of him, Huo Yuhao was also full of doubts.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Huo Yuhao straightened up and said calmly, "It's normal for Your Highness to find me unfamiliar. I'm just an exchange student from Shrek Academy studying at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and I've only been in Mingdu for less than half a month."

Xu Tianran suddenly realized, "So you're a top student from Shrek Academy! I was wondering what kind of genius the Red Dust Hall Master would value so highly. But how did you end up with the Royal Patrol?"

As the crown prince of the empire, Xu Tianran naturally began to extend his influence to every corner of the empire long ago. Jing Hongchen flew directly above Mingdu, looking very anxious, so Xu Tianran naturally had to come and see what was going on.

Unexpectedly, we seem to have uncovered a major scandal.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Xu Tianran's eyes.

Xu Mochen stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, it's like this. I received a report from a member of the royal family that someone was suspected of assaulting a member of the royal family. That's why I led men to arrest him. It was my negligence that I acted without thoroughly investigating beforehand. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

Xu Mochen had already planned it out: he would shift all the blame onto Wang Shaojie, and at most, he would be charged with negligence, or at worst, be dismissed from his post.

Most importantly, he is the Third Prince's man, and now that the First Prince has left a handle on him, he may not be affected much. On the contrary, the First Prince will attack the Third Prince and seize the power of the Royal Investigation Team.

Seeing this, Xu Tianran said in a serious tone: "This royal guard really needs to be rectified. They arrested innocent students without any evidence just by talking. I will definitely report this to my father."

"Also, Master Hongchen, as a guest who came here before, we can't let Brother Huo suffer any injustice."

Jing Hongchen bowed and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, this humble subject will definitely give Huo Yuhao a satisfactory explanation."

Xu Tianran nodded slightly and said, "I am naturally at ease with what the Hall Master of the Red Dust does. If there is anything that is inconvenient to handle, you can come to me, and I will do my best to help you."

Although Xu Tianran didn't know who had clashed with Huo Yuhao, since it hadn't reached Xu Tianran's ears before, it was probably a minor figure from a collateral branch. In that case, he would hand the knife to Jing Hongchen and let Jing Hongchen handle it himself, thus doing Jing Hongchen a small favor.

After all, even if they are members of the royal family from a collateral branch, Jing Hongchen, as a minister, cannot arbitrarily dispose of them, let alone take their lives.

Upon hearing Xu Tianran's words, Jing Hongchen's pupils contracted. "Your Majesty, I understand."

Lin Jiayi and Huo Yuhao, standing to the side, kept their heads down, not wanting to get involved in this trivial matter.

Xu Tianran nodded slightly and said, "Please do as you please, Hall Master. In my eyes, you are always my mentor. Please don't be so polite."

Jing Hongchen nodded and headed straight outside, with Lin Jiayi supporting Huo Yuhao as they followed behind, hurrying away.

Xu Tianran then turned to Xu Mochen and said calmly, "Mochen, sometimes choosing the wrong side comes at a heavy price. Please also convey this to the Imperial Uncle. Let's go."

After saying this, Xu Tianran left the interrogation room surrounded by his servants.
