Chapter 235 Killer
Outside the Royal Academy
Chen Xuan finally recognized his daughter, and picked up Chen Qiuer safely, ready to take her away.
He is now holding his daughter, and he feels like an old father. In fact, he is still very young. Xiao Wu is only 20 years old, while his daughter is seven or eight years old. It would be absolutely terrifying if people told others about it.
Nearby, a group of onlookers were dumbfounded and stood there in a daze, stunned by this scene.
Chen Qiuer, a savage little witch with a violent personality and the leader of the lower grades, actually threw herself into the arms of another man and called that young man "Dad"!
This was such explosive news to them that they could hardly believe their eyes.
The man looked to be no more than eighteen years old, and they would never believe that he was really Chen Qiuer's father.
What happened here soon alarmed the teachers in the Royal Academy. When they heard that a stranger had arrived and was going to kidnap the little bully Chen Qiuer, they were so scared that they didn't even eat and rushed out of the academy as soon as possible.
Finally, even the Soul Saint dean was alarmed and rushed to the gate with several teachers.
"Come on, Dad will take you away from here first." Chen Xuan put his precious daughter down and prepared to take Chen Qiuer to the Xingluo Palace to thank Davis.
"Yeah!" Chen Qiuer nodded vigorously and grabbed one of Chen Xuan's hands, indicating that she would go wherever her father went. She was feeling bored in the academy anyway, with no one to play with her and it was meaningless.
Whoosh whoosh!
However, at this moment, several figures suddenly rushed out, quickly surrounded the two and blocked their way.
"Boy, which country's spy are you from? Where do you want to take her?" An old man walked up aggressively.
He had short gray hair and a square face. He stared at Chen Xuan fiercely with a very unfriendly tone.
The rest of the people were also ferocious and hostile, and they thought Chen Xuan was an assassin sent by a certain country.
"It's the dean and Teacher Li, why are they here!" The students nearby exclaimed. The dean rarely shows up, but now he showed up.
Those two were both powerful Soul Saints with great strength, and they were the strongest fighters in this royal branch.
"Boy, let go of Chen Qiuer, or don't blame us for being rude." The middle-aged man named Teacher Li spoke with a cold look in his eyes.
The others looked at him unfriendly, and their soul power surged out. As long as Chen Xuan dared to move, they would use their soul skills to attack him in the next moment.
"Everyone, is there any misunderstanding between us? I am Qiu'er's father, and it makes sense for me to come and pick up my own daughter." Chen Xuan stated his identity and naturally was unwilling to take action.
At the same time, he was very grateful to Davis. These people should have been ordered to protect his daughter. Now it seems that each of them is very dedicated and not just fooling around.
"You said, you are Qiu'er's father?" All the teachers burst into laughter when they heard this, as if they had heard some huge joke.
Teacher Li had a cold expression on his face and said in a cold voice: "Boy, at least you should find a decent excuse. You are seeking death, do you know that?"
The rest of the people also had cold expressions on their faces. Everyone knew that Davis had specifically told them that Chen Qiuer's father had died young and that they were not to mention this matter in front of the little girl.
Just as they were about to take action, Chen Qiuer stood up to explain and told several teachers that this man was her father.
When everyone heard this, their first feeling was that the little girl felt threatened, otherwise why would she say such a thing.
Chen Qiuer is the daughter of the beautiful Xiao Wu. The boy in front of them is just an ordinary guy. They would never believe that he is the husband of the beautiful fairy even if you kill them.
"Xiao Qiu'er, don't be afraid. If you feel threatened, just blink. The teachers are here and no one dares to touch you!" Teacher Li and the dean said, staring at Chen Xuan with unfriendly eyes.
The corner of Chen Xuan's mouth twitched. Does he look like someone who kidnaps little girls?
The little girl was speechless. She put her hands on her hips, pointed at the dean's nose and said, "Dean, Teacher Li, are you getting senile? Qiu'er has already said that this is my father. If you don't believe me, just forget it!" Little Qiu'er snorted coldly, crossed her arms across her chest, slightly raised her head, and looked at people through her nose, very arrogant.
Although she was small, she had a rather spoiled personality and the temper of a big sister, and was not afraid of the teachers at all.
The teachers hesitated. The little witch didn't look like she was under control. Could this man really be Qiu'er's father? The husband of the beautiful fairy Xiaowu?
But this age difference... is really hard to believe.
Chen Xuan's eyelids twitched wildly. Is this still her well-behaved daughter? Her personality is exactly the same as Xiao Wu's when she was a child, and she actually inherited a bad tradition.
"Everyone, I am really Qiu'er's father. Something went wrong over the years and I just woke up recently." He revealed his identity again and explained to everyone that he had encountered danger and had been sleeping for many years.
Everyone pondered, and seeing that he was so sincere and did not look like a spy from an enemy country, and with Chen Qiuer's testimony, they finally believed Chen Xuan's identity.
Even so, they still found it absurd. This man was only eighteen years old, but he was the father of a seven or eight-year-old girl. It was really unbelievable.
Moreover, Xiao Wu is such a gorgeous girl with a beautiful face, so her husband should be a peerless genius. How could he be an ordinary little man?
Among all the teachers, many admired Xiao Wu, pursued her, and expressed their love to her, but were ruthlessly rejected.
Now, the husband of the woman they loved appeared, which made them feel uncomfortable, stuffy and very uncomfortable.
"Oh, it's like putting flowers on cow dung!" A middle-aged teacher spat softly, and quietly left with the others to prepare for the afternoon class.
Chen Xuan's hearing was so good now that he heard it clearly, which made his face turn black. If he didn't know that these people had protected Xiao Qiu'er, he would have taught them a lesson.
"You must be the dean. Thank you for taking care of Chen Qiuer during this period of time." He bowed to the white-haired old man, and then informed him that he was going to take Chen Qiuer away and go to the palace.
Chen Qiuer waved her little hands, excited that she could finally skip school.
"My dear Chen, I'm afraid this won't work. If you want to take Xiao Qiu'er away, I think you should wait some time." said the white-haired old man.
Chen Xuan frowned and said, "What do you mean, is there something wrong?"
"Brother Chen, don't get me wrong, it's like this..." Teacher Li stepped forward to explain that there were many spies lurking in Xingluo City who would do harm to Xiao Qiuer. They had sent strong men to assassinate Qiuer many times.
Chen Qiuer is safest only in this academy. If she goes out, she will definitely be attacked.
"Who are they? Aren't they ashamed of attacking a little girl?" Chen Xuan's face turned cold. Although he had heard that his daughter was being targeted, now that he heard that someone had assassinated Xiao Qiu'er, he was still extremely angry, and his blood was boiling in his heart.
In the past, it would have been fine if he was not here, but now someone wanted to harm his daughter, so he would have to bear the bloody consequences and accept the threat of death.
Chen Xuan really wanted to find out who was behind the scenes, no matter who it was, even if it was a peerless Douluo master, he would settle accounts with him.
Teacher Li sighed. Xiao Qiu'er's talent was too good, and no one wanted to see her grow up. In the entire Xingluo Imperial City, there were countless big jaws crawling around, and there were even some terrifying beings close to the Titled Douluo.
"Brother Chen, you don't have to be angry. Rest here for a few days first. We will inform the prince and send Soul Douluo guards to escort you away. That is the safest way." He advised, worried that Chen Xuan would act on impulse and seek revenge on the group of people behind the scenes, which would only bring about a catastrophe.
After all, he was too young. Even if he was a rare genius in a century, he could only cultivate to the Soul Emperor realm at best. He was no match for those people at all.
"You mean, among that group of people, there are at most Soul Douluos, and not even any Titled Douluos?" Chen Xuan asked, with murderous intent in his eyes undisguised.
"No." Teacher Li was embarrassed and wiped the sweat off his face. He felt that Chen Xuan was too young. There were only a handful of Titled Douluo in the entire continent. All of them had important matters to attend to and their own pride. Unless there were special circumstances, why would they assassinate others?
He sighed and said earnestly, "Brother Chen, you will stay in the academy for a while. I will send a message to His Highness now. I believe that within three days at most, a team of Soul Douluo will be dispatched to escort you away."
The white-haired old man shook his head. Chen Xuan was at most a Soul Emperor, but he was too young and hot-tempered. If Xiao Qiuer followed him, she would suffer a great loss sooner or later.
