Chapter 1843 1843: Sighs
"Why is Cheng Hai involved again?"
King Ning Yuanchang said coldly.
He had certainly heard of Cheng Hai, aware of his considerable talent in Martial Arts!
Though, that's all there was to it!
At that moment, Ning Rui narrated the conflict between Cheng Hai and Su Chen, smoothly involving the Fourth Prince, including how the Fourth Prince attempted to strike at Su Chen several times!
However, he underestimated Su Chen's power, failing each time!
Thus, everything became clear!
Ning Yuanchang's face eased somewhat, as initially, he thought the Third Prince was secretly inciting this matter!
No matter what, he had the motive!
Though Su Chen's actions had their reasons, as the Fourth Prince kidnapped his close companion, Ning Yuanchang had no plans to spare Su Chen!
Being the champion of the Four Major Academies meant nothing!
To kill his son was unforgivable!
"Where is he staying?"
Ning Yuanchang asked coldly.
Ning Rui didn't conceal anything, instead revealing Su Chen's address!
He wasn't worried since the two had parted ways, Su Chen clearly didn't return to his residence but went towards Zhaixing Academy!
"Summon the men!"
Ning Yuanchang shouted, immediately several men walked in!
Then, he instructed them to bring Su Chen over; they accepted the order and left!
Despite the ordinary strength of these men, he refused to believe that young man dared defy his command!
After they left, Ning Yuanchang turned to Ning Rui and asked:
"The enshrined master at the Fourth Prince's mansion was of Tongxuan Realm, Eight or Nine Turns, this young man managed to kill him?"
"I don't understand how it happened, but he did indeed kill that master."
Ning Rui pondered for a moment and said:
"Father, I am also deeply grieved over my fourth brother's death, but the dead cannot come back to life! Furthermore, he acted out of a moment of rage because the Fourth Prince kidnapped his woman!"
"Father, this man is an unparalleled talent, I beg you to spare his life; he will surely remember your kindness and contribute greatly to our Shenfeng Dynasty in the future!"
Only at this point did Ning Rui dare to plead for Su Chen, if he had done so earlier, it would not have made any difference, instead dragging himself into trouble!
"Hmph! Do you not see that he's already challenging the entire royal family!"
Ning Yuanchang's eyes flashed with brilliance as he said:
"So what if he's a peerless talent! The majesty of the royal family must not be lost!"
"Father, Su Chen absolutely did not..."
"That's enough, you need not say more on this matter!"
Ning Rui was interrupted by Ning Yuanchang before he could finish!
He had no choice but to give up, such an outcome was also anticipated!
He just wanted to try his best, but the result was not ideal!
At this moment, he was deeply worried for Su Chen, for the strength of the royal family is no joke!
Now the only hope lies with Zhaixing Academy; as to how Zhaixing Academy will decide, he cannot be certain!
Although Su Chen's talent is astonishing, will Zhaixing Academy really confront the entire royal family just for him?!
A while later, the men who went out earlier returned, where the one in charge knelt and reported:
"Your Majesty, we went to the location, but there was no one there!"
"Hmph! Running away pretty fast!"
Ning Yuanchang's face darkened.
There's no need to think, he must have hidden himself in Zhaixing Academy!
"You all go to Zhaixing Academy once more, summon Dean Li."
Though Ning Yuanchang continued to seethe with anger, he dared not act rashly towards the Four Major Academies' dean.
"Father, it's already late tonight, perhaps wait until tomorrow?"
Ning Rui promptly suggested.
Ning Yuanchang thought for a moment and recognized it as sensible, it is indeed inconvenient at such a late hour, as the one concerned is no ordinary person!
"Alright, you may return."
Ning Yuanchang waved his hand; though the matter barely involved the Third Prince, he was slightly displeased by some things he'd done!
Ning Rui felt it, bowed, and took his leave.
....
After dinner, returning to his room, Su Chen immediately began to comprehend "Wind Shadow Step".
For Su Chen, compared to his current direct power, speed was his greatest shortcoming!
Speed's importance in combat is self-evident; originally, he was not urgent, but after today's incidents, his pressure increased significantly!
Because he didn't know how the royal family would react, nor the extent of their power!
Fortunately, before going to the Secret Realm, he was close to breaking through; afterwards, after a few days of comprehension in Xu Lao's village, he was now on the verge of breakthrough!
That night, Su Chen was immersed in "Wind Shadow Step".
A night passed quickly!
Daybreak!
In the morning, people came from the palace, saying the Monarch hasn't seen Dean Li for a long time, inviting him for a visit.
Li Changting had foreseen such an event, telling the palace's men he'd go over in the afternoon!
Those men hesitated upon hearing this, clearly wanting Dean Li to go immediately, but just as they were about to speak, Li Changting's face darkened, frightening them into hastily retreating!
Joking, they dared not act rashly before Li Changting; risking angering him would mean death without consequence!
Ning Yuanchang frowned upon hearing their reply, although they promised to come, their attitude indicated some issues!
The ensuing dialogue might not be so smooth!
.......
By noon, news of the Fourth Prince's mansion had spread!
Ordinary citizens might not be aware, but forces with some status had received various levels of information!
Those who heard it were utterly shocked!
No one expected someone within the Shenfeng Dynasty's borders to dare kill the Fourth Prince!
Moreover, through such a straightforward and brutal approach: storming the mansion!
This wasn't simply killing a Prince; it was a challenge to the entire royal family!
And the one who committed such an earth-shattering act was the recent champion of the Four Major Academies tournament, now famous in the capital and throughout the Shenfeng Dynasty, Su Chen!
Almost everyone who heard the news thought Su Chen had lost his mind!
Even with unparalleled talent, such actions were courting death!
How could the royal family be matched by a young man like him?!
As they saw it, with such events occurring, Zhaixing Academy likely would abandon him!
Once losing Zhaixing Academy's protection, awaiting him could only be death, nothing else!
What a pity!
Such a Martial Arts genius!
But he has dug his own grave, can he blame anyone else?!
Many sighed and regretted, lamenting a once-brilliant young talent's imminent downfall!
