Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 42: The Law of Changing Faces of the Hongchen Family
Lin Dong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, but unexpectedly, he felt dizzy just as he relaxed. His legs went weak and he cursed inwardly:
"Fuck, my soul power is overdrawn."

Meng Hongchen was the first to react and flew onto the stage. Lin Dong only felt a faint fragrance entering his nose and then he lost all consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Dong slowly opened his eyes, and a pair of sky-blue eyes filled with worry came into view.

Meng Hongchen looked at the pair of deep and beautiful eyes, and her pretty face became a little more rosy, but she still pretended to be disgusted and said:

"You idiot, you like to show off so much. Next time I let you fall directly to the ground, you won't be so reckless."

Lin Dong coughed lightly, smiled unnaturally, and said softly:

"Thank you, I just used too much soul power, I just need to rest for a while."

Meng Hongchen snorted softly and turned her head away shyly. After a moment, she turned back and moved her lips as if she wanted to ask something, but in the end she did not speak.

Lin Dong shook his numb hands and, with the help of Meng Hongchen, he stood up. Before he could say anything, he heard a scolding voice:

“Old Mi, if anything happens to Lin Dong, don’t blame me for being rude to you and your precious grandson!”

Micah muttered with a look of grievance, but he did not dare to refute. This was his grandfather's immediate superior, the dean and head of Mingde Hall, who was in charge of the family's livelihood.

This time, he was really suffering in silence. Not only did he lose face in front of his companions and his precious armor was damaged, but he also caused his grandfather to be scolded by the dean along with himself.

Next to him, an old man with gray hair and a big white beard bowed repeatedly to Jing Hongchen and kept apologizing with a smile:
"Dean, you are right. I will go back and teach this brat a lesson."

Seeing his grandfather's servile attitude, Mika's eyes couldn't help but become moist. A trace of anger surged in his heart. Just as he was about to explode, a somewhat weak voice sounded:

"Dean, this matter has nothing to do with Senior Micah. It was my own request. Please don't make things difficult for him."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and Lin Dong, who was supported by Meng Hongchen, raised his hand and smiled faintly.

Jing Hongchen looked at his granddaughter who was in close contact with Lin Dong, and a hint of joy unconsciously flashed in his eyes when he looked at Micah.

Hey, I’m not happy that you put Lin Dong into a coma, but I’m happy that you created opportunities for my granddaughter.

Jing Hongchen quickly turned around, looked at Lin Dong, and said with a smile:

"Wake up, don't worry, I'm just chatting with Old Man Mickey and the others, don't worry, you can rest first."

Seeing his grandfather's attitude suddenly change 360 ​​degrees, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but curl his lips.

Lin Dong looked at Micah with a hint of anger in his eyes, smiled apologetically, let go of Meng Hongchen's arm, and walked to Micah's grandfather.

Amid the doubtful looks of the crowd, Lin Dong slightly bent forward and said in a very sincere tone:

"I'm sorry, Senior. I have implicated you."

The old man was stunned at first, then he supported him with a smile on his face and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay."

Mika's eyes, which were originally filled with grievance and anger, showed a trace of embarrassment. He looked at Lin Dong and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Lin Dong."

Lin Dong smiled faintly and said in a warm tone: "Senior, you are too polite. I promised you."

Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Dong with an undisguised look of admiration. He was talented and knew how to respect others. If he could cultivate a good seedling who valued feelings, he would not end up like that bastard, making wedding clothes for others.

Meng Hongchen, who had just been feeling a little jealous of her grandfather's double standards, looked at Lin Dong with a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes. This guy is really interesting.

Lin Dong turned his head and looked at Jing Hongchen, and said softly:
"Dean, I just damaged Senior Micah's armor. Can you help him apply for some funding?"

Jing Hongchen laughed loudly upon hearing this. He wished that Lin Dong would trouble him more. He waved his hand and answered cheerfully:
"No problem, old man Mi. From today on, your salary at Mingde Hall will be doubled. Ask your grandson to write a report on the required materials and funds, and I will personally approve the note."

"Thank you, Master!"

The smiling old man Mi was overjoyed. His salary was doubled! He was just an ordinary researcher in Mingde Hall. If his salary doubled, he would probably be comparable to some elders of high status.

Mika also quickly bowed to Jing Hongchen and said happily: "Yes, Dean, thank you, Dean!"

There was also a lot of kindness in the eyes when the grandfather and grandson looked at Lin Dong. If Lin Dong took advantage of his favor and blamed the matter on the two of them, they would have no choice but to swallow their anger.

Who can blame them for being more talented than you and more valued by big shots? But Lin Dong did not make things difficult for them. Instead, he used his connections to seek benefits for them. This is quite a big deal. They must remember this kindness.

Lin Dong nodded with satisfaction, looked at Jing Hongchen and said with a smile: "Thank you, Dean, but I'm afraid I won't be able to pay you back for a while."

Jing Hongchen waved his hand nonchalantly and said:

"We are no match for each other. To be honest, your core formation has been put into mass production of low-level soul guides. The funds saved for the academy are enough to support thousands of old men."

When everyone heard his words, they were all stunned. The core formation, mass production, the funding would be tens of thousands.

These extremely familiar words, pieced together to form sentences, why do I sound so incomprehensible?

Among the confused crowd, there were only a very few sober ones. The old man Mickey pointed at Lin Dong and looked at Jing Hongchen with a puzzled look. After getting a positive answer, a deep shock suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He had heard a long time ago that the recently upgraded formation was created by freshmen in the academy. After seeing it today, he realized that the young are truly to be feared!

Lin Dong looked calm, looking at the stunned expressions of the crowd, and said calmly: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ma Rulong looked at Lin Dong who was indifferent, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and said:
"You just challenged a Soul King warrior, and you are so calm!"

Lin Xi also interrupted at this time: "Yes, yes, and how did you break Micah's turtle shell? Teach me."

"My brothers and I are very interested in the way you improve your physical strength. Can you teach me?"

The twin brothers, Chen Fei and Chen An, who had never spoken, also asked with anticipation.

Another person, Li Yan, who had long red hair draped behind him and was wearing a red robe, also asked politely at this time:
"Your Ultimate Ice is very strong. Can we spar with each other some other day?"

Micah took a step forward and looked at him with resentment:

"You pervert, how did you manage not to be affected by my lightning power?"

Jing Hongchen on the side was already beaming with joy at this time. He had gained a huge amount of information from the words of these little guys.

Meng Hongchen blinked her long eyelashes and gave Lin Dong a sly smile, her eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation. Hehe, I wonder how long you can hide?
