Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 28: Xiao Hongchen: Did I make a wrong choice?

Lin Dong noticed her gaze, looked at her and smiled calmly without explaining anything further.

If it is true as Tian Meng said, this ugly-looking thing is actually ten thousand year old whale glue, then his physical body will be able to be further improved. This is a rare good thing!
Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Dong's delighted face, and his doubts grew stronger, but he still said to him:
"After we return to the academy, I will find a teacher with fire attribute to help you deal with it. You can't absorb it now."

Lin Dong nodded after hearing this: "Thank you very much, Dean."

"Now that the matter is over, let's go back to the academy as soon as possible. Lord Mo, help us fill up the soul power of the flying soul guide tonight, and we will go back to the academy tomorrow."

"Yes!"

He took the flying soul guide from Lin Dong and the others and handed it to the servant next to him, and everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, Lin Dong and his three companions used flying soul guides to rush back to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy.

When Lin Dong and Xiao Hongchen and his sister were walking back to their residence, Xiao Hongchen suddenly said:
"Although I know that I am very talented and popular, thank you for giving me such a good thing."

Lin Dong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he chuckled and said, "You misunderstood. I just simply want the whale glue I chose."

After hearing this, Xiao Hongchen's confident smile froze on his face. He was unable to speak for a long time, but Meng Hongchen could not help but smiled and said:

“Xiao, you overestimate yourself. I knew that Lin Dong would never let go of the advantage and give it to others.”

When Lin Dong heard her words that implicated the two of them at once, he couldn't help but spit out, "I'll just take it as a compliment."

"I don't believe it!" Xiao Hongchen replied somewhat awkwardly. After seeing the two people's laughing expressions, he added:

"Anyone can see that your whale glue is a weathered defective product. It's not even edible. I can't think of any other explanation except that you want to give it to me."

In order to avoid getting too entangled with his overconfident words, Lin Dong could only stare at him and whispered:

"Brother Hongchen, I'm not interested in men."

"I didn't discuss this topic with you!"

Hearing this, Lin Dong sighed helplessly and said, “If you really don’t believe it, wait until tomorrow and find a teacher to refine the whale glue and you will understand.”

After saying that, he went straight into his room without any more explanation. He hadn't had time to practice during the flight. He still had to cultivate his soul power and didn't have time to waste on explanations.

Xiao Hongchen looked at his leaving back and whispered:
"I just don't believe it. You have talent in soul guides, but I'm a genius. I've eaten so many good things since I was a child. How can I lose to you in terms of vision?"

Meng Hongchen couldn't help but said, "It seems that you are just being too sentimental. I said that guy would never do anything stupid."

Xiao Hongchen snorted coldly: "Tomorrow we will know who is being sentimental."

After saying that, he left without looking back. Meng Hongchen looked at the words "Lin Dong" on the door, chuckled and murmured: "You are really the enemy of laughter."

"Lin Dong, let's go. I asked my grandfather to help me find a good teacher. Let me see what good treasures you can find."

Lin Dong was woken up by Xiao Hongchen early in the morning. He opened the door and saw Xiao Hongchen standing at the door with his hands in his pockets. He raised his chin and said, "Let's go. I'll see how long you can keep being stubborn."

Lin Dong didn't bother with him. He nodded and greeted Meng Hongchen who was grinning beside him. Although Meng Hongchen was a little unhappy when he saw this, he didn't say anything. He walked in front of the two with confident steps.

Meng Hongchen gently poked Lin Dong and said with a smile: "I'm waiting to see you let laughter break your defense."

Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, then he touched his nose and said calmly: "I'll try my best."

The three of them walked all the way to a secret room, where they saw an old man in a red robe. He looked at them and smiled kindly:
"The dean has already told me to bring out the whale glue you want to smelt."

Lin Dong took out the black whale glue from the storage soul guide. The old man's cloudy eyes showed a trace of astonishment, and he said blankly:
"I have refined quite a bit of whale glue. This piece looks rotten. If you get sick from it, you can't blame me."

Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Hongchen became more confident and handed over his five thousand year old whale glue that was shining brightly with golden light. He glanced at Lin Dong and looked at his calm expression. He muttered in his heart:
I wonder how long you can keep pretending. Just give the resources to geniuses. There's nothing shameful about it.

The old man took the whale glue, a trace of admiration appeared in his eyes, and he smiled and said: "This looks much better."

Meng Hongchen looked at Lin Dong who had an indifferent expression, and glanced at Xiao Hongchen with some sympathy. Someone was afraid that he would be sad.

The old man picked up the whale glue from the three people and refined it. The hot flames spewed out from his palms as time passed.

Meng Hongchen's four thousand year old whale glue melted first. After ten minutes or so, Xiao Hongchen's glue also began to melt slowly. The old man was surprised when he saw this. Could it be that he had made a mistake?

Generally speaking, the higher the quality of whale jelly, the more difficult it is to melt. The black crystals that don't look good have shown no signs of melting yet.

Seeing this, the old man silently increased the firepower on Lin Dong's whale glue. Lin Dong looked at the scene in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He still understood the saying that real gold is not afraid of fire. He was right!

However, Xiao Hongchen's expression was not so good. Unless Lin Dong's piece was a stone, otherwise, the age of Lin Dong's whale glue must be much older than his!
Seeing Xiao Hongchen's ugly expression, Meng Hongchen rarely kept silent. He looked at Lin Dong with a strange look in his eyes. This guy was indeed Xiao's nemesis.
Under Xiao Hongchen's dull gaze, another half an hour passed before the black whale glue slowly melted.
Instantly, a strange fragrance filled the entire room, and rich energy fluctuations overflowed from it. Xiao Hongchen's already ugly expression completely sank at this moment, and he murmured in a low voice:
"No, it's impossible. Ten thousand year old whale glue! How is that possible? How could I be so wrong?"

The old man looked at the dark golden gelatinous substance in the flames, the shock in his eyes became even stronger, and the look he gave Lin Dong also became a little more solemn.

It was just that Lin Dong had a calm face at this time, and did not show any surprise. This behavior seemed as if he had known that this piece of whale glue was not simple.

"Good eyesight! Haha, I was wrong this time."

Hearing the old man's praise, Lin Dong took back his portion of the dark golden gelatinous substance and smiled faintly: "Thank you, teacher."

He was about to go back to his room to refine and absorb it, but unexpectedly Xiao Hongchen stretched out his hand in front of him, and said in a somewhat depressed mood:

"So you didn't choose it just to give me the resources, right?"

"I've made it very clear. This is what I wanted to choose, Brother Hongchen. I still need to go back to practice. Please excuse me."

Seeing Lin Dong's idiotic look, Xiao Hongchen let go of his hand dejectedly, pinching his temple and said in annoyance:

"What's wrong with me? I become so irrational once I get involved with this guy."
