Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 35 Grandpa Coincidentally and Miss Reasonable

"Master Kong, one of Master Ma's Titled Douluo defected and stole Master Ma's Conferred God Platform."

A tall old man with short gray hair and wearing a bright yellow robe turned around and said angrily:
"What is he doing? Even if the conditions for using the Conferred God Platform are harsh, it is still a ninth-level soul guide. It is really a heavy loss."

Looking closely, the man who was hunched over towards the old man was actually Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall of the Sun and Moon Empire. With his power and status, when facing the old man, he was as docile as a child who had done something wrong.

The old man was wearing a robe that only members of the royal family were qualified to wear. This man was the head of the Sun Moon Empire's Worship Hall, Kong Deming.

Facing Kong Deming's questioning, Jing Hongchen could only bite the bullet and explain:
"Mr. Kong and Mr. Ma also know that they are responsible for this accident and have resigned from their positions as the chief of Mingde Hall."

"Well, that's what he should do. However, it's enough to demote him to an ordinary elder. The Conferred God Platform is useless to begin with. Now that things have come to this, there's no point in punishing him further."

Hearing Kong Deming's answer, Jing Hongchen leaned forward slightly and nodded: "Yes! Then who can take up this vacant chief position?"

After hearing this, Kong Deming said calmly: "That's your business. You are the head of Mingde Hall. Don't ask me everything."

After hearing Mr. Kong's answer, Jing Hongchen could only nod and say, "Yes."

"By the way, that little fellow who researched the mysterious formation you mentioned last time, hasn't he come back yet?"

"Not yet. The people we sent out have lost track." Jing Hongchen said embarrassedly.

Kong Deming glared at him and asked tentatively, "The academy didn't treat him harshly, did it? Don't let you guys ruin such a talented young man."

Jing Hongchen felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy when he heard this. Lian Lian waved his hands and said, "Of course I dare not, Master Kong. I treat him better than my own grandson!"

Hearing what he said, Kong Deming nodded with satisfaction: "That's more like it. By the way, did you send anyone to chase after the defecting Titled Douluo? Sun and Moon's things are not that easy to get."

"We've sent people after him, but he left school during the holidays with normal procedures, so the chances of finding him are slim."

Hearing his answer, Kong Deming frowned and said, "Next time when you train talents, find out their backgrounds and don't make wedding dresses for others."

Jing Hongchen's expression turned rather grim when he heard this. The person who defected was originally from the Sun and Moon Empire. Who could have thought that that guy would actually defect? ​​However, he did not dare to refute Kong Deming's reproach. He could only nod and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Kong Deming waved his hand and said calmly: "Okay, you can go now. This will be a lesson for you. If that little guy comes back, try to investigate him thoroughly."

"Yes!"

Kong Deming looked at Jing Hongchen's back as he left, and whispered softly, "They originally belonged to the Three Kingdoms, but they actually resorted to such means. It seems that I, Sun and Moon, have to think of some solutions as well."

Jing Hongchen walked out of the worship hall. A tall old man with short white hair was standing outside the door. When he saw Jing Hongchen coming out, a trace of uneasiness that was hard to conceal emerged on his majestic face.

Jing Hongchen patted his shoulder and said softly:

"Mr. Kong said that considering your hard work over the years, he will demote you to an ordinary elder and will not punish you in any other way, so that you don't have to blame yourself too much and don't even have the courage to see him."

After hearing this, Ma Lao heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Jing Hongchen and nodded, "Thank you, Hall Master. I'll go in and talk to Kong Lao in detail."

Jing Hongchen nodded lightly and left.

“Master Hongchen, the Lin Dong you said you wanted to focus on is back.”

When Jing Hongchen heard this, the depression on his face disappeared instantly and turned into deep joy. He flew directly towards the student villa.

"You little brat, luckily you came back. If you had run away, Master Kong would have killed me."

Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Student Villa. "Lin Dong, you're back. Why don't you play for a few more days during the holiday?"

Looking at Meng Hongchen, who was wearing a white dress, a silver-white ponytail, and standing in front of him with smiling eyes, Lin Dong smiled and nodded:

"There's nothing fun here. The conditions outside are not as good as those in the academy."

"Well, you are telling the truth. The dormitory we live in is probably the most luxurious in the entire continent. After all, there are only a few of us."

Meng Hongchen said as he suddenly moved closer to Lin Dong and sniffed softly:
"Hmm? Why do you smell like a woman? What did you do during the holidays?"

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Lin Dong said helplessly: "What can I do? Don't guess, Miss Meng, just let me in first."

Meng Hongchen took a step forward to block him, and said jokingly:

"Hehe, who knows what you are doing? I just wanted to ask you, how come you become so handsome after being out for a few days? Tell me, which woman did you ask to dress you up?"

When Lin Dong heard her words, he looked at her with some doubts, until she handed him a mirror. After seeing his face clearly, Lin Dong touched his face and said softly:
"It seems so. I don't know what's going on. It should be related to my spirit ring."

Xiao Hongchen saw that he didn't look like he was lying, so he looked at him and said with a smile:
"Oh? Really? Then can you let me see what's so special about your spirit ring?"

Lin Dong hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but looking at her shining blue eyes, he nodded slightly.

"Wait! Let me see first. How could you, a little girl, get ahead of grandpa?"

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jing Hongchen flying towards them rapidly. It seemed that he was flying at his maximum speed in the academy.

Meng Hongchen glanced at him with some jealousy and said in a sour tone:

“Grandpa, isn’t it just Lin Dong who’s back? You look like you want to teleport here directly. Aren’t you afraid of bumping into other students?”

Seeing her resentful eyes, Jing Hongchen pretended to be calm and coughed lightly, his old face flushed as he said:

"You little girl, you're still scolding Grandpa. I'm happy that Lin Dong is back, and I'm just practicing my speed. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Understood. Reasonable."

Meng Hongchen also knew that it was useless for him to say anything, so he could only reply indifferently.

Unexpectedly, Jing Hongchen didn't bother to look at him. He turned to look at Lin Dong and said with a smile:

"Haha, you're back. That's good to be back. What did you gain from this trip?"

"Something is gained, Dean."

"Oh? What's your trick? Can you show it to me?"

Looking at Jing Hongchen's eager and expectant eyes, Lin Dong paused and said, "Are you sure you want to stay here, Dean?"

Jing Hongchen was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "What's there to hide? Otherwise, take us to your room?"

Lin Dong quickly shook his head after hearing this: "Then let's do it here. I'll start."

Meng Hongchen and Jing Hongchen both opened their eyes wide unconsciously, waiting for Lin Dong to perform the so-called soul skill that would yield some results.
