Chapter 102: Do You Dare to Hit Him?

The auxiliary campus was small in size, with few people around. The two of them finished exploring it in just two hours, and then they prepared to swipe their school emblem and enter the main campus.

Since the teleportation points for students in each major were different, Long Jingze first took Xiao Qingyang to the entrance of the Alchemy Building and instructed, "Yangyang, once you enter, just wait for me in the same spot. I'll come find you quickly."

"Alright," Xiao Qingyang obediently replied.

Long Jingze kept watching Xiao Qingyang walk into the teleportation array until his figure completely disappeared from sight. He then rushed to the teleportation point of the Ability user's Academy at the fastest speed and hurried once again to the Alchemist Transfer Point in the main campus.

On the other side, just as Xiao Qingyang came out of the teleportation point, she happened to encounter Xiao Qinglan who was preparing to enter the teleportation array.

When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous. Xiao Qinglan's beautiful face almost twisted upon seeing Xiao Qingyang appear.

At the sight of Xiao Qingyang, Xiao Qinglan immediately recalled the humiliation she suffered during the freshman trials, which made her seethe with hatred.

Their team was a top contender for winning the freshman trials, the most likely to secure the championship. However, unexpectedly, they were eliminated by some inexplicable means. It was a great humiliation that affected each and every one of them.

Especially when it was Xiao Qingyang, the person she detested the most and never took seriously, who eliminated them. This made Xiao Qinglan feel as if she had swallowed a fly, indignant but helpless.

"Xiao Qingyang, don't get too arrogant. Dad already knows about your unauthorized return from Yalan Star, and he's very angry," Xiao Qinglan said fiercely, with a hint of satisfaction in her tone.

In the past, as long as she mentioned their father's name, Xiao Qingyang would be frightened and would become obedient, letting her do as she pleased. She believed this time would be no different.

However, the expected reaction did not occur. Xiao Qingyang acted as if she hadn't heard a word, not even giving her a glance, treating her as if she were invisible.

The previous Xiao Qingyang would tremble upon hearing Xiao Honghui's name because he still held some hope for his father, hoping that if he behaved obediently and listened, his father would show him a little more love and care.

Unfortunately, the original host never realized until his death that his father was simply incapable of loving or caring for him, regardless of how well-behaved and obedient he was, simply because he was a psychic waste.

If the original host were standing here at this moment, perhaps he would still show a slight reaction upon hearing Xiao Honghui's name. But unfortunately, it was him standing here now, and he had no intention of paying any attention to the people who had killed the original host.

He may not be paying attention to the Xiao family right now, but that doesn't mean he will let them off the hook. It's just because his strength hasn't fully recovered yet that he temporarily refrains from engaging with the Xiao family. However, he will definitely avenge the grudges belonging to the original host.

"Xiao Qingyang, how dare you ignore me?" Xiao Qinglan was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. Looking at Xiao Qingyang's delicate face, she raised her hand high, preparing to slap him.

After all, she was quite skilled in such matters.

However, despite raising her hand, the slap didn't come down. She even felt pain in her wrist, causing Xiao Qinglan to involuntarily cry out.

"Do you dare to hit him?" Long Jingze arrived at the fastest speed and witnessed this scene.

He couldn't bear to say a harsh word, as this person was someone he cherished and doted on. How could anyone have the audacity to try to harm him? Could he endure it?

Long Jingze never fought with women, but when it came to Xiao Qingyang, he didn't care whether the other party was male or female. No one could harm his Yangyang, even if it was just for show!

Long Jingze had no intention of letting go of Xiao Qinglan. He tightened his grip on her hand, exerting even more force, seemingly intending to crush her wrist.

At first, Xiao Qinglan could cry out in pain, but gradually, the pain became so intense that she couldn't make a sound. Her face turned pale, and sweat dripped from her forehead. She couldn’t see who was holding her. 

At first, her friends were prepared to help, but when they saw who was grabbing Xiao Qinglan, they all froze in place, not making any move.

At this moment, Xiao Qinglan couldn't utter a word, but her internal thoughts were quite rich. She cursed almost everyone present in her mind.

Not only did she curse Xiao Qingyang and the person holding her, but she even didn't spare her friends. She even complained about her friends not seeing her being bullied and just standing there waiting to see her embarrassment, making her feel like she was about to explode with anger.

Long Jingze didn't lose his composure. He just taught Xiao Qinglan a small lesson and then let go.

After gaining her freedom, Xiao Qinglan didn't care about the pain in her wrist. She used her other hand to slap each of her friends and scolded, "Are you all blind? Didn't you see me being bullied?"

Zheng Yingying was inexplicably slapped by Xiao Qinglan, and it happened in front of their idol. She immediately felt extremely embarrassed but had to put on a smiling face while facing Xiao Qinglan. In her heart, however, she despised Xiao Qinglan and wished someone would give her a harsh lesson.

"Qinglan, we didn't mean it. It's because of him... we also didn't dare." Zheng Yingying had a tearful appearance, and with the clear palm print on her fair cheek, she looked even more pitiful.

"I want to see who has the audacity to dare to hit me and not take our Xiao family seriously..." Xiao Qinglan spoke while bringing up her status as a member of the Xiao family. She turned her head fiercely, intending to glare at the person who bullied her. However, she didn't expect to be frozen in place after seeing who it was.

"Yo... Your Highness?" Xiao Qinglan never expected the person to be none other than Prince Long Jingze, the Crown Prince.

Long Jingze was a legend in the Royal Military Academy, the object of admiration for all girls and the idol of boys. Although the other party was also a student of their academy, he often appeared and disappeared mysteriously. It was a great stroke of luck to even catch a glimpse of him by chance.

Since arriving at the Royal Military Academy, Xiao Qinglan had always fantasized about encountering Long Jingze, preferably experiencing an extraordinary romance.

But she never expected to actually encounter Long Jingze today, albeit in such an embarrassing situation. Xiao Qinglan wished she could dig a hole and disappear, making sure he didn't see her.

"I do have some audacity, but it seems you're quite bold as well." Long Jingze glanced at Xiao Qinglan with a hint of coldness in his nonchalant voice, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Your Highness, it's all a misunderstanding. He is my brother, and I was just joking with him." Xiao Qinglan quickly adjusted her expression, putting on a pitiful and innocent appearance. However, she wondered why the Crown Prince was siding with Xiao Qingyang. Could it be that these two knew each other?

However, soon, Xiao Qinglan dismissed that speculation.

What kind of identity did Xiao Qingyang have? How could he possibly know the lofty Crown Prince? Surely it was because the Crown Prince happened to pass by and saw this scene, mistakenly thinking that she was bullying Xiao Qingyang, hence his intervention.

Even with this speculation, Xiao Qinglan was still displeased. If she had known that the Crown Prince would return to school today, she would have dressed up nicely and come to meet him coincidentally. Even if a conflict had occurred, she would have let Xiao Qingyang bully her and then let the Crown Prince save her. That would have been more appropriate.

Xiao Qinglan bit her lip lightly, feeling deep regret for her previous impulsiveness. At the same time, she grew more resentful of Xiao Qingyang.

If it weren't for this despicable person, she wouldn't have lost face in front of the Crown Prince, ruined her image, and wouldn't have received his reprimand. It's all Xiao Qingyang's fault!

"Joking? Do you think my eyes are just for decoration?" Long Jingze looked down at Xiao Qinglan with a cold, mocking expression, causing her to feel even more ashamed.

In fact, this was the true nature of Long Jingze. It was only in front of Xiao Qingyang that he would restrain all sharpness and become gentle.

"No, Your Highness, it's just that he bullied me first, and I couldn't stand it." Xiao Qinglan said in a coquettish tone, trying to shift all the blame onto Xiao Qingyang. After all, the Crown Prince didn't witness the previous incident.

Unfortunately, Xiao Qinglan's little scheme was mistaken. No one understood Xiao Qingyang's current self better than Long Jingze. How could he voluntarily bully someone? It was simply impossible.

Now, Long Jingze became even more displeased with Xiao Qinglan. Not only did this woman want to bully his Yangyang, but she also dared to slander him. It was simply unreasonable!

"Aze, let's go." Xiao Qingyang tugged at Long Jingze's sleeve from behind and spoke.

He didn't want to stay with this woman in front of him. He had encountered shameless individuals before, but this was the first time he had seen such a shameless woman. She could turn white into black and black into white. No wonder the original owner couldn't stand up against her and was only bullied.

When Xiao Qinglan heard Xiao Qingyang calling Long Jingze by name and saw him grabbing Long Jingze's sleeve, she was completely stunned and couldn't believe what she was seeing.

In this situation, it was clear that Xiao Qingyang knew Long Jingze, but how was that possible?

How could Xiao Qingyang possibly know the Crown Prince?

Previously, Xiao Qingyang rarely went out apart from staying at home. It was impossible for him to know the Crown Prince. Otherwise, when he was banished to Yalan Star, there would have been someone to help him.

But since he returned from Yalan Star, it had only been two months. During these two months, the Crown Prince hadn't returned to school either. So when did Xiao Qingyang get to know the Crown Prince?

This question tormented Xiao Qinglan, making her uncomfortable and unable to directly ask Xiao Qingyang. It was driving her crazy.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Xiao Qingyang continued to ignore her, as if she didn't exist at all. He led Long Jingze to leave, making her even more embarrassed.

She didn't dare to accuse Xiao Qingyang in front of Long Jingze and could only let them both ignore her and leave.

"Xiao Qingyang, I won't let you off the hook!" Xiao Qinglan gritted her teeth, watching Xiao Qingyang's departing figure, her eyes filled with venomous hatred.
