Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 20 Meng Hongchen: Lin Dong, please keep your voice down at night

"Why are you looking at me like that? It's time to take him away, Meng."

Xiao Hongchen felt a little scared by Lin Dong's look, so he had to call Meng Hongchen to help. However, the latter smiled softly and said:
"Don't be so impatient, have you forgotten what grandpa told us? He asked us to make Lin Dong happy, but I don't think you did it."

Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but twitch his lips a few times, not knowing what to say, when Lin Dong suddenly whispered:

"Okay, Miss Meng, Dean Hongchen is just joking with you. You just need to take me around twice."

Meng Hongchen groaned after hearing this, and said in a somewhat disappointed tone, "How boring! I almost saw you smiling and anxious."

However, Xiao Hongchen's expression was much better than before, and the look he gave Lin Dong was much kinder. He thought to himself:

This guy is quite sensible. Well, I can observe him for a while. No, why should I observe a man!
While he was playing by himself, Meng Hongchen was already walking ahead with Lin Dong, talking and laughing, so he hurriedly caught up with them.

Even though my own cabbages like to make me angry, they are still in my own field and I can’t let others dig them up!
"Lin Dong, why does grandpa value you so much?" Meng Hongchen asked curiously.

Although Xiao Hongchen didn't say it, from his expression he seemed to want to know. Isn't this guy just good-looking? As for asking grandpa to get along with them, he repeatedly told them to build a good relationship with him.

Lin Dong looked at the two of them in surprise: "Didn't Dean Hongchen tell you?"

After taking a look at their expressions, Lin Dong once again said in a calm tone:
"It's nothing, actually. I just made a second-level soul guide yesterday, and the dean was quite interested in it."

Seeing his indifferent expression, Meng Hongchen was the first to exclaim, "You mean to say that the first soul guide you developed has reached the standard of a second-level soul guide, and it was also favored by grandpa?"

"Ah."

Meng Hongchen looked at the person whose expression kept changing, and couldn't help but said in a frivolous tone:

"Wow, you are amazing, Lin Dong. You have just entered school and you have achieved such a high level of accomplishment. I remember that it took someone a whole year to become a Level 2 Soul Master."

Xiao Hongchen's face suddenly turned redder, and he pretended to be calm and asked:
“Lin Dong, you must have come into contact with soul guides before, otherwise it would be unreasonable for you to develop a second-level soul guide so quickly.”

Lin Dong looked at him and thought for a while, then said in a rather calm tone: “Well, contact, I guess.”

Hearing what he said, Xiao Hongchen raised his eyebrows proudly towards Meng Hongchen, as if to say, I said that I, Xiao Hongchen, am invincible among my peers.

"Before refining, Teacher Xuan Ziwen gave me a first-level soul guide to take a look at."

Lin Dong's calm tone instantly froze Xiao Hongchen's smug look on his face. He squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, hoping for a lucky break:
"It's gone?"

"Well, my family was poor when I was young, so I didn't have access to these things."

"Pfft!" Meng Hongchen looked at Xiao Hongchen's blushing face and couldn't help laughing out loud for a moment.

The laughter, as sweet as silver bells, sounded a little hoarse and unpleasant to Xiao Hongchen's ears at this moment.

Lin Dong's performance immediately afterwards made Xiao Hongchen's excitement even more intense. Lin Dong blinked his deep eyes and asked curiously:

"Uh, Senior, what's the problem?"

"Hehe, it's no big deal. It's just that someone's big talk is about to be exposed. Don't pay attention to him. Let's go to the training ground and take a look."

Meng Hongchen stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of Lin Dong's clothes, pulling him forward quickly with a somewhat happy mood, and did not forget to turn back and stick out his tongue at Xiao Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen looked at the two people leaving, feeling mixed emotions. Lin Dong's calm attitude just now seemed to be telling him that it was not his limit to develop a level 2 soul guide after only one day of contact with soul guides.

Then he looked at Lin Dong with a hint of solemnity in his eyes. He must practice harder when he returns. He cannot let this kid steal his reputation.

He immediately suppressed all the thoughts in his mind and quickly followed.

However, Meng Hongchen suppressed his excitement at this moment and couldn't help but asked curiously:

“Lin Dong, can you tell me what that soul guide can do? When Grandpa mentioned you last night, he loved you more than his own grandson. He praised you to the sky.”

Lin Dong looked at her pouting and smiled helplessly:

"The dean is exaggerating. Hmm... I'm afraid I can't tell you about the soul guide right now. The dean said it's confidential. You'll know when it becomes popular."

Meng Hongchen nodded with some regret after hearing this.

"Well, you are so mysterious, you are really a hidden talent.

However, after seeing Xiao Hongchen following behind him, those crystal blue eyes quickly lit up:

"That guy always likes to talk tough. I think he is about to regard you as his rival."

Lin Dong just laughed it off and didn't say much. Perhaps because he was used to Xiao Diao's temper, he currently had no ill feelings towards Xiao Hongchen.

But it was this indifferent performance that made Xiao Hongchen look at Lin Dong with a hint of caution.

However, under the instructions of Jing Hongchen, the brother and sister were very considerate and took Lin Dong to thoroughly familiarize him with the environment of the academy.

And with the help of his photographic memory, Lin Dong also gained a basic understanding of this huge Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

It was almost evening when Lin Dong followed the two of them back to their residence. What Lin Dong didn't expect was that Meng Hongchen's room was actually next to his.

Seeing Lin Dong’s surprised expression, Meng Hongchen said unhappily, “You didn’t even know I was next door to you. I took you around for so long.”

Lin Dong smiled awkwardly. He was so busy practicing every day that he didn't pay attention to who his neighbor was.

Meng Hongchen looked at him, who had a rare lively expression, with a sly look in his eyes, and said in a joking tone:

"I can hear a low groan coming from someone's room next door."

Lin Dong was somewhat at a loss for words after being suddenly uttered by the girl. He looked at Xiao Hongchen's hostile gaze and said with a dry laugh:

"Haha, this house is good in every way, but the sound insulation is too poor. I'm just practicing."

Meng Hongchen raised the corner of his mouth and said jokingly, "I didn't say anything. What are you explaining? Just keep your voice down tonight."

Lin Dong could only clench his fist and put it to his mouth, coughing softly: "Got it, I'll try to pay attention."

Meng Hongchen looked at Lin Dong's embarrassed expression, waved his hand and said jokingly:
"Hehe, I was just kidding. You're usually so calm, but it turns out you're not very good at dealing with things like this."

Ignoring the bold girl, Lin Dong quickly closed the door. However, Xiao Hongchen's murderous gaze still shot in through the last crack of the door...
