Thinking about this makes many people feel their calves cramp.

Poison Douluo's reputation is still very intimidating. Putting aside his strength as a titled Douluo, his unpredictable and bizarre poison skills are enough to make people wary.

So after hesitating for a while, some people began to bid farewell to the avalanche.

"Your Highness, I suddenly feel a stomachache. May I go back first?"

"Your Highness, my stomach hurts too."

"Your Highness, I forgot to close the door when I came out..."

The reasons were varied and numerous, and Xue Beng felt a headache coming on after hearing them.

These people wanted to run away, and he wanted to run away too, but the problem was he couldn't, because he had already left his name, and these two people must have remembered it.

But he also needs to take care of these followers, otherwise he won't have anyone to follow him in the future, and how can he continue to be a playboy?

"If you have something to do, then you should all leave," Avalanche sighed.

Upon hearing this, the others hurriedly slipped away, and soon only three people remained.

"Isn't Your Highness leaving?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.

"What is your relationship with Poison Douluo?" Xue Beng asked in return.

"Your Highness, guess," Chen Feng said with a smile.

Xue Beng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped, and Chen Feng thought he might want to curse.

"Speaking of which, does Your Highness often ambush people here?" Chen Feng asked again.

"I come here from time to time to keep out those bumpkins from sneaking in and dirtying the academy," Avalanche said calmly.

"A peasant?" Chen Feng raised an eyebrow. "Your Highness seems to look down on commoners."

"They're useless, why should I care about them?" Avalanche said impatiently.

"I see." A hint of disappointment flashed in Chen Feng's eyes.

Chapter 136 First Encounter with Xue Qinghe

After Chen Feng uttered his last words, the three fell silent.

No one spoke again.

Although Avalanche sensed something was off about the silence of the person opposite him, he didn't think much of it or feel that he had said something wrong.

Throughout his education, he had been taught that the country was jointly governed by the emperor and the nobility.

Nobles held immense importance, possessing extensive knowledge and exceptional abilities; no country could do without them.

Without the support of the nobility, the emperor would be unable to govern the country, so he needed to win them over.

Commoners were merely the property of the nobility, subject to management and taxation. They were expected to behave themselves and not cause trouble, at most contributing population to the army.

There's nothing more to be expected, because the quality and ability of ordinary people are quite worrying, which is why avalanches contemptuously refer to them as "mud-legged people."

That's truly what he felt from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Feng could only sigh in his heart at this moment. He had been observing the avalanche while he was asking questions.

When answering questions, Avalanche showed no sign of awkwardness or insincerity.

This could be the kid faking it, but it's more likely that the concept of an avalanche is inherently like this.

Chen Feng reached this conclusion not only based on observation, but also through logical analysis.

No matter how good a person's acting skills are, they can't really act forever, especially after the external pressure disappears, when they are more likely to reveal their true nature.

Therefore, to truly understand a person, one must consider their entire life.

Avalanche was undoubtedly a smart man. If he had even a little bit of respect for the common people, he certainly would have taken action in this regard after he came to power.

Especially after Bibi Dong's defeat and before Tang San ascended to the God Realm, this was the perfect time for Xue Beng to cause trouble by taking advantage of the situation.

Given the cunning displayed by Xue Beng, with Tang San as his backer, he could easily launch a major overhaul of the Heaven Dou Empire and its affiliated countries, promoting commoner soul masters to counterbalance the old aristocratic forces, thereby consolidating the emperor's power.

It's important to understand that he won a continental war with the participation of gods back then. Although it was just a small account that was boosted with achievements, the prestige brought by this military merit was real.

With such prestige, it would be much easier to do whatever one wanted, not to mention that Tang San, the Imperial Tutor, was still around at that time.

In this way, as long as the balance of power is well maintained and the power of the old aristocratic forces is suppressed through commoner soul masters, the Heaven Dou Empire may eventually perish due to other factors, but it is unlikely to end up like the later situation where it splits due to the expansion of aristocratic power.

There's no need for Avalanche to worry about promoting commoner soul masters and causing Tang San's dissatisfaction, because two of the Shrek Seven Devils are originally from commoner backgrounds, and the original Shrek Academy, Blue Tyrant Academy, specifically recruits commoner students.

Therefore, judging from the fact that the Heavenly Dou Empire split up not long after the end of the God War, Avalanche clearly did not take any action to suppress the noble forces.

Or to be more precise, he simply didn't have this concept at all; this was a limitation inherent in the feudal aristocracy.

Considering Xue Beng's words and actions today, Chen Feng mentally gave this kid a rating that needed further observation.

At the same time, he also resolved a question in his mind: why did the avalanche cause such a thing as blocking the road at the academy gate in the early stages?

This kind of thing is easy to offend people and easy to get beaten up, so it's not a very smart thing to do.

If someone wants to be a playboy, they actually have many options, such as drinking and womanizing, or cockfighting and dog walking.

However, Avalanche chose to block the road at the entrance of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and he blocked the road of people who looked plain and ordinary.

There are many things that Chen Feng doesn't know, such as the Shrek Seven Devils in the original novel, and Chen Feng and Tang San now.

Chen Feng couldn't understand why Xue Beng did this before, but now he does.

It is very likely that Avalanche believed that it wouldn't matter if he offended civilians, since they were of little use and the cost of offending them was low, so why wouldn't he do it?

This idea isn't wrong. At least in the current era of Douluo Continent, nobles, due to their long-standing bloodline, are indeed generally superior to commoners in terms of martial spirit.

However, Chen Feng believed that this idea was highly inappropriate, so he crossed out Xue Beng.

The reason why it is still under observation rather than being passed over is because he is not yet sure whether his speculation is correct.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that Chenfeng and Xue Beng are not on the same page.

Chen Feng and his two companions waited there, but instead of seeing Dugu Yan arrive, they were greeted by a group of people coming from outside.

"Big brother." Upon seeing the person who came, Xue Beng quickly bowed.

Judging from his behavior, he was very afraid of the older brother who came.

The newcomer was none other than Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. He glanced at Xue Beng, then at Chen Feng and Tang San beside him, and felt a little surprised by the atmosphere between the three of them.

Xue Qinghe asked:

"Avalanche, what are you doing here? And who are these two?"

"Uh, I... I came here with my friends for sightseeing, and we happened to run into them trying to enter the academy, so we stopped them to ask what was going on. As for who they are, I don't know," Avalanche explained, downplaying the seriousness of the situation.

"I see. May I ask your names and what brings you here?" Xue Qinghe looked at Chen Feng and his companion.

"My name is Chen Feng, and this is Tang San. We're here to find someone," Chen Feng said.

The moment Xue Qinghe arrived, he sensed the connection from his martial spirit.

As he had predicted, Qian Renxue's light attribute was exactly what the Yang sword of the Taiji Bagua Sword needed.

Unlike the repair of the Bagua, the awakening of the Yang Sword also requires blood, but the amount is not very large.

The Yang Sword will awaken after absorbing only a small amount of blood.

This greatly relieved Chen Feng, meaning that the awakening of his Yang Sword shouldn't be too difficult.

Chen Feng wasn't sure if this was due to the inherent characteristics of the Yang Sword or because Qian Renxue's martial soul was too outstanding.

Perhaps it's a combination of both.

As Xue Qinghe approached, Chen Feng was also observing this fake crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Xue Qinghe looks somewhat similar to Xue Beng, but they give off completely different vibes.

Avalanche gives off a very arrogant feeling, especially when Chen Feng first encountered it; it was simply overbearing.

It wasn't until Chen Feng announced Dugu Bo's name that Xue Beng calmed down, but he still subtly revealed a hint of arrogance, making Chen Feng feel uncomfortable.

However, Xue Qinghe was different. Whether it was due to his excellent acting skills or his personality, he treated Chen Feng and the other person with a very peaceful attitude.

Even Chen Feng, who knew her true nature, felt a sense of warmth and comfort when speaking to Xue Qinghe, and couldn't feel any aversion towards her.

This made Chen Feng feel somewhat emotional; those involved in religion were indeed far more approachable than aristocratic families like Xue Beng.

However, it's hard to say whether religion or feudal aristocracy is more advanced, so in Chen Feng's eyes, the two are actually of equal status, and are just backup options now.

“Since you’re here to find someone, then you two should wait at the academy. Waiting here is not proper.” Xue Qinghe said, glancing at Xue Beng. “Where have you learned your manners? Is making guests stand on the mountain path waiting for someone the way our royal family treats guests?”

Xue Beng didn't dare to argue, and just nodded obsequiously.

"Alright, go do your own thing, don't just stand there." Xue Qinghe waved his hand at Xue Beng.

The avalanche, as if granted a pardon, quickly left.

"You two, come with me to the academy," Xue Qinghe said to Chen Feng and the other, then turned and walked into the mountains.

Chen Feng and Tang San exchanged a glance and followed, while the followers who came with Xue Qinghe followed at the very back.

"Speaking of which, who are you two looking for at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy?" Xue Qinghe asked curiously as they walked.

"Your Highness doesn't know?" Chen Feng actually suspected that Xue Qinghe had received the news and then came here on purpose.

This is quite in line with the plot of those political dramas he had seen in his previous life.

However, Xue Qinghe was somewhat puzzled, "Should I know?"

Chen Feng glanced at her and chuckled, "Your Highness doesn't even know who we're looking for, yet you let us into the academy. Aren't you afraid we'll cause trouble?"

Xue Qinghe chuckled lightly, "If you two teenagers can cause trouble in the academy, then the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy should probably just shut down."

“That’s true.” Chen Feng smiled as well. “Actually, we’re here to find Poison Douluo.”

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes. "Do the two of you have some connection with Poison Douluo?"

“Our master has a past relationship with Poison Douluo,” Chen Feng said.

Who is your commander?

"It's the golden trio."

"I see." Xue Qinghe nodded.

She knew that in that incident a few years ago, Dugu Bo had gone to Nottingham, and the Master and the four-eyed owl Flander had also been there.

After that incident, Dugu Bo began traveling across the mainland and only recently returned.

According to the Bloodthirsty Douluo who protected her, Dugu Bo's aura became much more dangerous after his return, and his green hair turned completely black, indicating that he had had quite a few adventures outside.

From this perspective, it is indeed possible that Dugu Bo had a relationship with the Golden Triangle.

"Which college do those two attend?" Xue Qinghe asked again.

"Hydra Academy".

"Hydra Academy? I don't think I've ever heard of that academy."

"That's right, we used to be students at Shrek Academy, but Shrek Academy has now merged with Blue Tyrant Academy to become Hydra Academy, so the two of us became students at Hydra Academy," Chen Feng explained.

"Ah, I've heard of both of these academies. I didn't expect them to merge." A hint of surprise flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes. "So the former Golden Trio has reunited?"

"That's right." Chen Feng nodded.

This information is readily available, so he just casually mentioned it.

"Then please give my regards to your teachers when you return," Xue Qinghe said with a smile as he turned to Chen Feng upon seeing the person opposite him.

"Definitely." Chen Feng nodded in return, then walked towards Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan opposite him.

After watching the four leave, Xue Qinghe remained silent for a moment, then said to one of his followers:

"Please help me look into the situation at Hydra Academy."

"Yes, Your Highness."

......

On the other side, Dugu Yan would occasionally glance curiously at Chen Feng and Tang San.

"Miss Dugu, is there a problem?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.

Dugu Yan ignored him and instead asked Dugu Bo:
