The young man, unable to run away from Xiao Yang"s grasp, was quickly tiered against the rough surface of a tree."Ahh! How dare you tire this young master up!" The young man screamed out of his lung.
Dong Zhou, sighed in relief, "Thank G.o.d, he didn"t kill him!"
"Let me go!"
"You will regret this!!!"
The young man continued to shout and cursed at Xiao Yang who was now standing in front of the tired up young man with a murderous gaze.
Xiao Yang leaned forward to one of the young man"s ear and whispered so that only them two could hear it, "Listen here, you are the first person to insult my food and survive... You better stay quiet before I change my mind."
The young man nodded profusely, he was frightened by Xiao Yang"s murderous gaze, he felt like if he said another word then that would be the last. His eyes suddenly became wet and he had to bit down his lips to prevent himself from making any noise.
"Brother Chen we should just release him, it"s still night time, he is going to get a cold." The young man nodded agreeing to Qian Fei.
Xiao Yang comfortably sat down against another tree and replied with a stern face, "No, who knows what he might do if we release him. He might even attract other groups or beast to us."
The young man quickly shook his head and said, "Please trust me, I won"t tell the other groups!"
The young man hesitated for a moment then added, "In fact, I was kicked out from the group that I was in!"
Xiao Yang calmly took a sip of fruit juice from his bottle and expressionlessly replied, "I"m not surprised."
"What is that supposed to mean?!" the young man gritted his teeth and shouted.
Xiao Yang stared at the young man for a second then gave up, "Sigh... I"ll release you tomorrow morning."
"What?! Are you going to keep me here all night? Release me at once! That is an order!" The young man kept screaming out of his tongue.
"Shut up! This is for your own safety too, do you even know that you are currently in the Cla.s.s zone right now?!" Xiao Yang picked up a cloth and shoved it into the young man"s mouth.
"Xiao Yang isn"t this too much?" Fang Qiong asked worriedly.
Xiao Yang shocked his head and replied, "No, if we let him out there during the night, he will surely get injured badly, the elders couldn"t just monitor everyone at the same time."
They wanted to convince Xiao Yang to release the young man again but quickly gave up seeing how determined he wanted to keep the young man tired up in the name of the young man"s safety.
Xiao Yang gave a glance at the young man again, who continued to struggle on the rope. The young man has short blonde hair and a chubby face, he was slightly shorter than the rest but he had a considerably large stomach.
Perhaps he didn"t notice it before, but the young man was wearing a rich and delicate garment that is specially made for royals.
The delicate patterns on the garment symbolize that the young man is a low t.i.tled member of a certain royal family, as for what royal family he is from, Xiao Yang couldn"t tell.
The state of the garment, however, looks tainted and slightly shredded. There is clear evidence of the young man experiencing some sort of hardship and intense weather conditions. It was an uncommon sight to see, considering the young man is at least a royal.
After a while, the young man finally gave up and just closed its eyes peacefully to get some rest. His face looked as if he was still hungry even after eating a whole stack of roasted meat.
Xiao Yang pondered for a moment before reverted his focus to the surroundings, they all agreed to switch turn in guarding while the rest get some rest. Thou it wasn"t really necessary since Xiao Yang is able to detect movements in the surrounding even when he is in a sleeping state.
Depending on their cla.s.s, mages don"t require much sleep anyway, it"s more of luxury since many would continuously hunt down beasts and cultivate their elemental powers.

Tai Empire Commander Office:
"What did you say?!" Commander Lee asked in surprise.
The guard who was kneeling on the floor quickly replied, "We have received reports of someone spotting Prince San in Thunderbolt Academy."
Commander Lee"s face quickly calmed down into an indifferent expression and started to silently ponder in thoughts.
The guard seeing the commander not replying back asked, "Commander should we..." The guard swiped his hand under his neck, gesturing the suggestion to a.s.sa.s.sinate the prince.
Commander Lee glances back to the guard then held his hand up, "No, we can"t risk angering that mysterious SSS-Cla.s.s mage again."
"Plus it"s unnecessary, there is no threat in leaving him alive as long as he stays in that city, but if he dares to come out then..."
Commander Lee went silent again, but the guard understood his intention without him saying anything further.
If he wanted to stay in the academy, Prince San would have to leave the city and complete a long journey field task a.s.signed by the academy. By that time they could easily a.s.sa.s.sinate him without anyone tracing it back to them after all many students had died during their journey from all kinds of unforeseen events and natural disasters.
The academy won"t investigate the death of the students since the task itself was to survive to the end. If they couldn"t even do that then they have no qualification to stay in the academy.
