Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 45 I'll Give You What You Want
"Hehe, that's not necessarily true."

Looking at the smiling Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but curl his lips:
"Meng, do you like to tear me down so much?"

Meng Hongchen's expression was much calmer at this moment, and he said in a calm tone:

"I didn't. During your time of seclusion, a lot of things happened in the academy. You won't be too happy to hear about them."

After hearing this, Xiao Hongchen snorted contemptuously:
"Oh? Really? Tell me about it. I want to see what can affect the mood of this genius."

Looking at his confident smile, Meng Hongchen's eyes flashed with a hint of joy. She was increasingly looking forward to his expression later. Then, her expression turned slightly playful: "Let Roudunzi tell you."

When Zhou Xinghao heard the nickname Meng Hongchen gave him, he said bitterly, "Sister Meng, please give me some face and stop calling me that."

Seeing that she didn't respond, he could only turn around and look at Xiao Hongchen who looked smug and said:

"During the time when you were in seclusion, Lin Dong was very popular, Brother Xiao. He defeated Mika."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Hongchen reached out and pushed him, his expression changed drastically and he said:
"What did you say?! Impossible! How is that possible? Micah must have let him go."

He had been thinking that after coming out of seclusion this time, he would rely on his martial spirit to try to challenge the regular team members, but how come this guy got there first?

Looking at his suddenly red face, Meng Hongchen beside him chuckled and said:
"I told you that you would be unhappy after hearing this. Now, I was right."

Although Xiao Hongchen's face was red, he still gritted his teeth and said stubbornly:

"Impossible, how could there be someone above me? What's more, he is so much younger than me. I don't believe it!"

Meng Hongchen saw that he seemed to be even tougher after his retreat, so he immediately added:

“By the way, Zhou Xinghao didn’t tell you that Lin Dong has twin martial spirits, the ultimate ice and the mutated eye martial spirit.”

Xiao Hongchen's already flushed face suddenly turned even redder, and he said in a high voice:

"Impossible. He hasn't mentioned this for such a long time. I don't believe someone is so low-key. He has such strength but he didn't tell me. This doesn't make sense!"

"I think you overestimate your position in his heart. He doesn't think you are that important."

Meng Hongchen seemed to be enjoying the fun and added lightly.

Xiao Hongchen glared at her after hearing this: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't care about my position in his heart at all. I don't believe what you said. I will ask him myself."

After saying this, without giving Meng Hongchen the chance to provoke him again, he grabbed Zhou Xinghao and said, "Where is he? Take me there."

Zhou Xinghao realized that he seemed to be really angry, and after hesitating for a long time, he tried to speak:

"Brother Xiao, I think you'd better not go. Mr. Kong is competing with the dean for someone now."

Xiao Hongchen paused, his face dulled for a moment, and after a long silence, he lowered his head like a swan that had lost its feathers and sighed:

"I'll be alone for a while, you guys go."

Seeing that he was like a deflated ball, Zhou Xinghao didn't dare to say another word. It seemed that this incident was a big blow to him. Then he winked at Meng Hongchen and left.

Meng Hongchen looked at his dejected look and felt a little at a loss for a moment. It was the first time she saw Xiao behave like this. This shouldn't be the case. How could this guy's self-confidence be shattered so easily?
Time passed slowly in silence, and the long-lasting silence was broken by Xiao Hongchen's voice:
"Meng, do you still remember the old Confucius that grandpa took us to see when we were little?"

Meng Hongchen, who usually loves to provoke him, spoke in a slightly softer tone at this moment:

“I don’t remember clearly.” “He said I had decent talent but still had room for improvement. I still remember that sentence until now. But then, he actually came to snatch Lin Dong from Grandpa himself.

At that moment, I realized that what you said must be true, otherwise, with Mr. Kong's vision and status, how could he come to snatch someone in person? "

Looking at the forced smile on Xiao Hongchen's face, Meng Hongchen rarely did not refute, but just nodded obediently.

"I had originally thought about shining in this competition and seeing if I could win the favor of Master Kong, but in the end, that guy got there first. I must work harder!"

Looking at Xiao Hongchen whose eyes were once again filled with confidence, Meng Hongchen smiled softly and said:
"It's very difficult to catch up with him."

Xiao Hongchen's momentum did not decrease but increased, and he said in an excited tone:

"So what? I am a genius that only appears once in a thousand years. How could I be defeated so easily?"

Seeing that he finally returned to normal, Meng Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not notice that the loneliness flashed in the latter's eyes the moment she lowered her head.

Obviously, the impact of what happened just now was definitely not as light as it seemed on the surface.

The pride in him had been torn open by Lin Dong. As for how long it would take to heal, only he knew.

Outside the college villa area.

"Lin Dong, are you sure you want to stay in Mingde Hall and not go to the palace with me?"

Lin Dong nodded calmly: "Yes, Master Kong, I think I am more suitable to stay in the academy, thank you for your kindness."

Seeing him insisting like this, Kong Deming could only sigh, glared at Jing Hongchen fiercely and said:
“It seems that what you said is true. There is only less than half a year left before the competition. I hope to hear Lin Dong’s reputation resound throughout the competition. Otherwise, I will have to snatch him away openly.”

Hearing Kong Deming's slightly discouraging tone, Jing Hongchen's face flashed with joy. He knew that this was a sign of Kong Lao's concession, and he immediately responded:

"Don't worry, Master Kong. In the next six months, I will do my best to train this little guy. In the competition six months later, he will definitely show amazing strength."

Lin Dong, who was standing by, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what the two said, and felt a little amused.

It was finally over. These two had been robbing here for so long. If it weren't for their high status, they would have probably attracted a large number of onlookers.

I let them fight over this low-profile version of the Ice Emperor Martial Spirit. I really don't know how much of a reaction my true situation would cause if they knew it.

After the two reached a consensus, Mr. Kong still looked at Lin Dong and said with a smile:

"Since you don't want to go, I won't force you. If you need anything, go find him. If he doesn't give it to you, come to me and I will satisfy you."

Lin Dong smiled faintly and nodded after hearing this: “Thank you, Master Kong.”

He didn't expect that the old man was not annoyed at all after being rejected by him, and was willing to do this much. His impression of him couldn't help but improve.

Seeing Kong Deming fly away, Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Dong with a smile on his face:

"Good boy, I knew you had a conscience. Haha, I'm afraid I'm the first person to make Mr. Kong return empty-handed."

Seeing Lin Dong's expression of trying not to laugh, he realized that he had lost control of himself and patted Lin Dong on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, from now on, whatever you want, I will give you!"
