Douluo Simulator: I, Huo Yuhao, am cultivating immortality

Chapter 170 Jing Hongchen's Frankness

The group followed Xiao Hongchen to the principal's office.

Jing Hongchen had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the joy in everyone's eyes, he walked up to Huo Yuhao, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You have become stronger. It seems that this opportunity has brought you a lot of benefits. It's just that you are too courageous. It makes people's eyelids twitch."

At the end, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but glare at him. Huo Yuhao smiled awkwardly and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Dean, let's not talk about this for now. Let me introduce you. This is Gu Yuena, the person who is responsible for protecting my safety in the Star Dou Great Forest." Huo Yuhao pointed to the girl next to him.

Everyone's attention was focused on Gu Yuena. Even though they knew from Xuan Ziwen's letters that she was extremely beautiful, they still felt dazed when they saw her in person.

"Hello, Master Gu Yue. I am Jing Hongchen, the principal of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, the head of Mingde Hall, and a ninth-level soul instructor. Thank you for forgiving this child's rude behavior. I heard that you are quite interested in soul guides. Please accept my small apology."

Jing Hongchen placed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and handed Gu Yuena a soul guide from his ring.

“Mortal Blessing? I’ve seen this thing on Huo Yuhao. It’s very good but useless to me. Take it back. If you really feel bad, send more soul mentors with strong teaching abilities after the Soul Transferring Tower is built.” Gu Yuena took a curious look and shook her head without interest.

After seeing the big guys in Red Alert, it’s hard for her to be interested in these “little gadgets”.

The indifferent tone made the pupils of Jing Hongchen and others brighten. Hongchen Blessing, as his signature ninth-level soul guide, could give any Douluo the defensive power of a Super Douluo in his hands.

The other party said it was useless. Obviously, the girl in front of him was not an ordinary ferocious beast, but was most likely a peak powerhouse with the strength of Extreme Douluo.

".You really value Yuhao."

Jing Hongchen calmly put Hongchen Blessing into the ring, and gave up the words he had originally intended to use to show off his financial strength and declare Huo Yuhao's right to possession of the ring.

It’s not that we didn’t work hard, but that the other side is strong.

When they thought that Gu Yuena might be an Extreme Douluo, Jing Hongchen and others felt uneasy and lost the confidence to speak.

“Dean, let’s talk about mechanical soul guides and souls first. Your Majesty, what is their attitude towards this?” Huo Yuhao spoke, changing the subject.

Jing Hongchen quickly took it over and said, "Everyone is naturally full of praise for the mechanical soul guides. The army is preparing to purchase a batch to expand its armaments. The Sun-Moon Empire already has a vast territory and a large population, but unfortunately the number of soul masters and soul guides is seriously insufficient, which has led to the rampant actions of evil soul masters. Having mechanical soul guides to supplement the defense force is a great thing that can appease the people, and no one will disagree."

"As for souls, I think everyone has the answer in their hearts. Anyone with a long-term vision knows something about the conflict between soul beasts and humans. Although compared to the high requirements of traditional soul masters for soul rings, our soul masters do not require much from soul rings, but for the sake of the greater good of the race, we are willing to contribute our lifelong learning to contribute a part of our strength."

While Jing Hongchen was speaking, he did not forget to disparage Douluo Three Kingdoms, hoping that Gu Yuena would remember it and make a big profit from it.

After all, compared with the Douluo Three Kingdoms bordering the Star Dou Great Forest, the Sun-Moon Empire on the other side of the continent has less contact with the Star Dou Great Forest, and there is almost no friction, so there is no need to worry about being involved.

"I will pass your words to Di Tian. I hope our cooperation will be smooth in the future." Gu Yuean said expressionlessly.

She just wanted to learn soul guidance technology, and didn't take Jing Hongchen's suggestion to find a way to ease the conflict between humans and soul beasts seriously.

After all, the biggest role of the Sun-Moon Empire's joining is to serve as a shield, making the artificial spirit rings and artificial spirit bones that appear later more authoritative on the human side. The real solution to the problem still depends on Huo Yuhao's power.

“After I say hello to Lord Di Tian, ​​this meeting will end here. Huo Yuhao and Teacher Xuan will stay to report on their work. Xiao, Meng, you go and arrange accommodation for Lord Gu Yue in Huo Yuhao’s villa. By the way, you can act as a tour guide and take Lord Gu Yue to learn about the academy.” Jing Hongchen said with a smile.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen pointed at themselves with their eyes wide open, looking at their grandfather as if it was real or fake.

That is a ferocious beast at the Ultimate Douluo level!
"What are you standing there for? Go quickly." Hearing Jing Hongchen's urging, the two knew they couldn't escape, and stood stiffly in front of Gu Yuena with bitter faces.

"Your Majesty Gu Yue, please follow us."

Gu Yuena first looked at Huo Yuhao, and when she saw him nod, she did not stay any longer and followed the Hong Chen siblings, who were walking stiffly, out of the room.

With a click, the door of the room was closed. Listening to the footsteps getting farther and farther away, Jing Hongchen locked the door. After making sure that the room was sealed properly, he let out a long breath and slumped in the chair, saying, "I was scared to death. The Ultimate Douluo is still so scary." Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, Jing Hongchen pointed at Huo Yuhao and Xuan Ziwen and said with gritted teeth, "You didn't even tell me in advance! I should have asked Elder Kong to come earlier."

“I just found out that Miss Gu Yue is so powerful.” Xuan Ziwen’s face was full of innocence. His impression of Gu Yuena was that she had an even bigger appetite than Huo Yuhao.

“I just found out about it two days ago and didn’t have time to tell you.” Huo Yuhao remained calm.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about you, Yuhao. The recent noises have been a bit unfavorable to you." Jing Hongchen pinched his eyebrows and said tiredly.

"But before I talk about this, I want to ask you one thing. What do you think of the Sun-Moon Empire?"

".Well, at least I'm having a good time at the academy."

"What if we add evil soul masters?"

“What do you mean?” Huo Yuhao pretended to be confused.

"Yuhao, you are a smart kid. Although I have always intended to keep the dirty things behind this away from you, Xiao and Meng, the truth will eventually come to light." Jing Hongchen sighed and continued, "Now it's time to let you know some dark things."

“After the death of the previous king, your Majesty’s father, it was not your Majesty who took over the throne, but your Majesty’s elder brother.

He was a benevolent monarch who governed the country diligently. Under his rule, the empire gradually prospered and he gained the loyalty of the vast majority of his subjects.

But with a palace coup, the current emperor joined forces with the Holy Spirit Church, that is, the evil soul master, and Brother Shi proclaimed himself emperor, and the condition for cooperation was to provide him with a certain amount of protection. "

“No one resisted?” Huo Yuhao looked puzzled.

"Teacher, didn't he take any action?" This was the first time Xuan Ziwen knew about this palace secret.

"Resist? Attack?" Jing Hongchen shuddered suddenly, and said with a look of fear: "No matter how powerful Master Kong is, what can he do against two Ultimate Douluo?"

Hearing this, Xuan Ziwen's eyes widened and he shouted in disbelief: "Two Ultimate Douluo?! How is it possible? If the evil soul master has two Ultimate Douluo, then why would they need the protection of the Sun Moon Empire?"

"In fact, it is true. The other party is a man and a woman. The man is called Long Xiaoyao. The details are not clear. His behavior does not seem like that of an evil soul master. No one knows why he became a worshiper of the Holy Spirit Church.

But the woman is different. Her name is Ye Xishui. She is a serious evil soul master and the leader of the Holy Spirit Church. When the coup took place, it was she who massacred the palace and slaughtered all the royalists at that time.

Kong Lao wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Long Xiaoyao. Although we also made a move, the number of Titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Church was not much less than ours, plus the Titled Douluo of your majesty's lineage, the two sides were deadlocked for a while, and by the time we got away, it was too late.

Your Majesty has obtained the throne, while the prestige of the empire has been trampled under the feet of the Holy Spirit Church, and also trampled on our faces. Until now, we guys have had to accept their commissions and forge soul guides for them. Even Master Kong has locked himself in the worship hall and no longer cares about the situation outside. "

Jing Hongchen had a distressed look on his face. He glanced at the expressionless Huo Yuhao calmly and said cautiously:
"Originally, under the pressure from your majesty, the Holy Spirit Church's influence in the court was barely acceptable. But after the crown prince was attacked during his tour and his lower body was crippled, the minds of the other princes began to become active. In addition, your majesty's health was getting worse and worse, which gave the Holy Spirit Church an opportunity to take advantage of. Now the voices of the evil soul masters in the court are getting louder and louder, and there are signs that they are out of control again."

“And after I’ve been in the spotlight several times, the eyes of those princes and evil soul masters turned to me. They wanted me to stand aside? Or kill me?” Huo Yuhao said as he stretched out his sword finger and slashed across his neck, speaking in a calm tone.

Jing Hongchen nodded, then shook his head: "They do want to do this, but don't pay attention to them. With Master Kong and us here, we will definitely protect your safety. What worries us is, after this farce, how will you view the Sun Moon Empire and us?"

"Very disappointed."

Huo Yuhao held his forehead and pretended to be incredulous.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's extremely disappointed eyes, Jing Hongchen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Just when he thought Huo Yuhao would turn away and throw himself into Gu Yuena's arms, Huo Yuhao's voice rang out again.

"But I must repay a favor. Although the Sun and Moon are darker than I imagined, they helped me when I was down and out. Now that the Sun and Moon are in trouble, I will naturally help them."
