Chapter 344 Ye Huli Enters the Dungeon
"What! You're saying Nanxiao offended a member of the royal family!"
Fan Yu stared wide-eyed at Lin Jiayi, clenching her fists.
"That's true, but His Majesty only had Ye Nanxiao stay in the dungeon for half a day to reflect! He's in a clean, quiet cell! After all, Ye Nanxiao offended the royal family! His Majesty has to appease the royal family members! Please don't worry, Teacher Fanyu, the guards in the quiet cell have been replaced by His Majesty's personal guards! And there are remote monitoring soul tools recording everything, so no one can reach into the dungeon!" Lin Jiayi said quickly, not even having time to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
He was able to rise from a commoner to the position of Dean of Students at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, which shows that he was extremely ambitious.
From Fan Yu's perspective, what would be his biggest worry if his student were thrown into a dungeon?
Will the jailers torture Ye Nanxiao? Will they interrogate him? Will the royal family member who was offended secretly arrange for revenge?
Fan Yu was furious. Ye Nanxiao was the leading figure among the current generation of Shrek Academy students, and he absolutely could not be allowed to get into trouble!
Feeling the powerful pressure emanating from Fan Yu, Lin Jiayi swallowed hard, thinking to himself that Shrek Academy's teachers were indeed formidable!
"Don't get excited, Teacher Fanyu. I dare to guarantee with my identity as the head of Mingde Hall that Ye Nanxiao is just reflecting on his mistakes in seclusion! After all, he offended Her Highness the Crown Princess. Hmm, after all, Her Highness the Crown Princess is very likely to be the Empress of the Sun Moon Empire." Jing Hongchen appeared in front of Fanyu in the form of a flying rainbow, blocking all the oppressive aura emanating from Fanyu.
Seeing Jing Hongchen step forward, Fan Yu calmed down a bit. He took a deep breath, realizing that Ye Nanxiao was definitely not a reckless person, and this might be part of one of his plans.
"Alright, I hope the title of Master of the Red Dust Hall is effective. I don't want to say anything else, but if anything happens to my students, even if they lose a single hair, Master of the Red Dust Hall, imagine how you would feel if your two grandchildren were treated like this at Shrek Academy?" After Fan Yu finished speaking, he left directly. He had to find Huo Yuhao as soon as possible.
Jing Hongchen's old face was unusually gloomy. Fan Yu was anxious, but how could he not be anxious as well?
His granddaughter's martial soul evolution path was still in Ye Nanxiao's hands. Even without Fan Yu's threat, he would do everything in his power to protect Ye Nanxiao!
"Master, what's next?" Lin Jiayi asked cautiously.
"First, let the instructors comfort the Shrek students. I, the head of the Mingde Hall, vouch for them!" Jing Hongchen said, waving his hand.
"Yes!" Lin Jiayi quickly ran away.
"Ye Nanxiao, what are you thinking? How could you so brazenly call the palace dungeon a tourist attraction!" Jing Hongchen sighed deeply.
"But didn't I hear before that Ye Nanxiao and Ju Zi had a pretty good relationship?" Jing Hongchen stood there, lost in thought.
After thinking for a long time, Jing Hongchen still couldn't figure out why. He slowly dragged his feet and walked back to the reconstruction site of Mingde Hall.
Along the way, Jing Hongchen saw many couples, including one woman being pursued by two men.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Jing Hongchen, who seized upon a glimmer of light.
"Could it be that Ye Nanxiao has feelings for Ju Zi? Or perhaps Ju Zi also has feelings for him! And His Majesty has found out?" Jing Hongchen was struck dumb, standing there and muttering to himself.
Upon closer reflection, Jing Hongchen increasingly felt that his own thoughts were the closest to the truth.
Xu Tianran's infertility is a top secret within the Sun Moon Empire, but this secret is held by only a few people, including Jing Hongchen.
If Xu Tianran were to become jealous and deliberately throw Ye Nanxiao into the dungeon to teach him a lesson, then everything Jing Hongchen said to Fan Yu would be a complete joke.
"No! I must go to the palace!" Jing Hongchen took out his flying soul tool and quickly headed towards the palace.
Fan Yu called Huo Yuhao and He Caitou to his private dormitory room.
Taking out a silencing bead, Fan Yu told the two that Ye Nanxiao had been thrown into the dungeon to reflect on his actions.
He Caitou's face was full of anxiety, and the soul guide storage bracelets on his two wrists were already glowing faintly. As long as Fan Yu shouted for help, he could immediately rush to the dungeon.
Huo Yuhao looked thoughtful, reached out and pressed down on the anxious He Caitou, saying, "There's something fishy about this! Don't rush, if it's only half a day, let's wait for Ni Jiang to come back."
Did he get arrested and confined for bumping into an orange?
If Ye Nanxiao had offended another member of the royal family and been arrested, Huo Yuhao might have believed half of what was said. However, Jing Hongchen's explanation was that Ye Nanxiao offended Ju Zi and was disrespectful to the potential future empress of the Sun Moon Empire. Huo Yuhao didn't believe a single punctuation mark in that explanation.
Huo Yuhao, as an observer, knew all too well what Ju Zi's attitude was towards Ye Nanxiao. Putting aside Ju Zi's ambiguous attitude, if Ye Nanxiao and Ju Zi were to quarrel, they would rather fight than waste a single word.
"Yuhao, you also think there's something fishy about this? We all know Nanxiao's personality. Has he told you anything about his plans to enter the palace dungeon?" Fanyu asked.
Huo Yuhao and He Caitou both shook their heads.
"We can only wait. The support sent by the academy will arrive at midnight tonight. When that time comes, I will definitely demand an explanation from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy! They're targeting Shrek Academy every day! Do they really think Shrek Academy is easy to bully?" Fan Yu said, clenching his fist.
"Hey, what exactly do you want?" Huo Yuhao frowned and reached out to touch the jade inlaid on his belt.
Inside the palace dungeon.
"This way, sir!" The jailer took out a key, opened a cell, and led Ye Nanxiao inside.
Looking at the clean and simple cell with only a wooden bed, Ye Nanxiao nodded slightly.
"Sir, if you need anything, please let me know, but only when it comes to food. I can improve your palate!" The jailer closed the cell door.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, officer!" Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
Although he didn't know what the officer meant, the jailer patted the two small silver wine flasks tied to his waist, revealing a set of yellow teeth as he grinned, "It's alright, no trouble at all!"
After the jailer left, Ye Nanxiao walked to the railing and reached out to test its strength.
Upon touching the railing, he felt his soul power being drained away, and a wave of weakness washed over him.
"It looks like it's made of some kind of metal that can suppress soul power." Ye Nanxiao withdrew his hand.
"Little brother, what have you done to get here? Tell your big sister!" a soft female voice rang out.
Ye Nanxiao looked towards a cell to his right and could see a figure crouching on the bars.
The only source of light in the dungeon was a small soul-guided lamp hanging from the ceiling.
"Beat up that arrogant disciplinary squad and send them in to reflect on their actions," Ye Nanxiao said.
"Wow! I didn't realize you were such a brave little brother. You managed to beat up that pack of stray dogs. You've got quite the courage. It's just a pity that those stray dogs will be bringing people over to deal with you soon," the woman said regretfully.
"Kid, you're pretty brave! You're a real man!" A rough voice came from the cell next to Ye Nanxiao's.
"Alas, young friend, why did you provoke those wild dogs? Now you'll have to spend this dark and gloomy dungeon with us." An old sigh rang out.
"Were you all imprisoned because of this damn disciplinary squad?" Ye Nanxiao asked casually as he sat on the ground.
"Oh dear, I came in because those stray dogs smashed up my shop, and then I smashed up their whole gang!" a rough voice said.
"Hehehe, I am just a country bumpkin who is skilled in astronomical arts. I once served as the celestial overseer in the imperial palace, but I offended many officials and ended up here," the old voice said.
"And what about this sister?" Ye Nanxiao looked at the cell to his right.
After he finished speaking, the cell fell silent.
After a while, the woman's voice finally rang out.
"To avenge my family, my mother plotted to poison the entire family of a prince."
Ye Nanxiao's pupils contracted. To poison a royal prince, this woman must possess unparalleled poison skills!
There aren't many princes in the Sun Moon Empire, but each prince has at least one titled Douluo-level warrior residing in his residence as a guest advisor.
Because the Sun Moon Empire reveres soul tools, very few people can become Title Douluo. Every Title Douluo is equipped with a large number of soul tools to enhance their combat power. This woman, who was also trapped in the dungeon, actually poisoned an entire Prince's mansion.
"You are not a member of the Sun Moon Empire."
A dark figure emerged from the cell opposite Ye Nanxiao.
The shadowy figure stopped at the edge of the light.
"What country are you from?" a somewhat awkward voice asked.
"Is this person using ventriloquism?" Ye Nanxiao recognized the speech pattern used by the person in the opposite cell.
"Your Excellency is quite skilled. Did you discern from my accent that I am not from the Sun Moon Empire?" Ye Nanxiao said.
"No, if you were a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire, you would know about the incident involving the herb-gathering woman. She silently poisoned an entire prince's mansion, and even the titled Douluo who served as her guards was not spared. This is the first major incident of a prince's mansion being massacred since the founding of the Sun Moon Empire," the awkward voice said.
Ye Nanxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, a blue light flashing within them.
Ye Nanxiao then took in the appearance of the people in the opposite cell.
A young man dressed in a sheer white robe held small pebbles in his hand. His long hair was tied over his left shoulder with a ribbon, and his eyes, like stars in the night sky, stared straight at Ye Nanxiao.
"The herb-gathering girl?" Ye Nanxiao turned his head to look at the cell to his right.
"That's how they all address their older sister here," a soft female voice said.
"It seems you've all been locked up for quite some time. Does anyone know a man named Feng Jinghuai? Oh, he's a stick fighter," Ye Nanxiao asked.
"Do you know that dead monkey?" The young man in the opposite cell took two steps forward, stepped into the light, stared directly at Ye Nanxiao, and said in his original voice.
