Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 204 Jing Hongchen's Unexpected Involvement
"Yes, Hall Master." Xuan Ziwen nodded, turned and walked outside.

"Xuan Ziwen, this hall master is looking forward to your research and development results."

Jing Hongchen's sudden voice made Xuan Ziwen pause.

"The research on the remote monitoring soul guide is going smoothly and we will be able to produce results soon."

"So good."

Xuan Ziwen then continued to walk outside.

Just as Xuan Ziwen said, currently only Xuan Ziwen can make a remote monitoring soul guide.

It was precisely because he knew that this soul guide could most likely only be used in the military that Xuan Ziwen had not handed it in even though he had completed the simplification of the core magic circle.

It seems that the military is really impatient and is trying every means to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Otherwise, the leader of Mingde Hall would not care about a long-range soul guide that does not improve individual combat effectiveness much.

Only then did Xuan Ziwen deeply realize that the Mingde Hall that Huo Yuhao mentioned was, after all, the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire, and all of its research and development had its purpose.

Before this, although Xuan Ziwen knew that his research might be used for war, he was not too disgusted, but now he suddenly felt a little tired.

Maybe I should really change my research place...

"Lin Jiayi."

Lin Jiayi in the corner stepped forward and bowed slightly to Jing Hongchen: "I am here."

"Please invite Wang Shaojie over here. This hall master will personally greet the royal disciple."

"Yes, Hall Master."

Lin Jiayi slowly backed away while keeping his posture bowed.

……

Under the guidance of Lin Jiayi, Wang Shaojie came to Jing Hongchen. Wang Shaojie performed a royal etiquette towards Jing Hongchen and said incoherently, "Greetings, Master Hongchen."

Jing Hongchen said in a kind tone: "I heard that you and Huo Yuhao had some minor conflicts. Can you tell me what happened in detail?"

"The thing is like this..."

After recounting the incident with exaggerated details, Wang Shaojie said angrily:
“Master Hongchen, Huo Yuhao actually disrespected the dignity of the royal family and attacked the royal disciples. Master Hongchen, you must take care of this for us.”

But who is the Lord of Hongchen Hall? How could he not hear how much water there is in Wang Shaojie's words? But Jing Hongchen didn't care about the conflict between Huo Yuhao and them, he only cared about Huo Yuhao's true situation.

Especially the third soul ring of Huo Yuhao that Wang Shaojie mentioned. When Jing Hongchen thought about the secret medicine he provided to cultivate a monster for Shrek, he regretted taking out the secret medicine so easily.

“You mean… Huo Yuhao has a strange ability that allows him to create a fake body with the same aura as his real body, and your attacks have probably hit the fake body created by the opponent?”

Seeing that Jing Hongchen was not provoked, Wang Shaojie was a little disappointed, but he still answered Jing Hongchen's questions honestly.

After getting the information he wanted, Jing Hongchen waved his hand to dismiss Wang Shaojie: “Well, after all, you were the ones who started this matter. Huo Yuhao is an exchange student after all. As the host of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, we have to take good care of our guests. But since you have learned your lesson this time, I will not pursue your fault…”

"Lord of Hongchen Hall!"

Wang Shaojie looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

It was clearly the dignity of the royal disciples that was challenged by that damned pariah, but Jing Hongchen actually put the blame on them. Seeing Wang Shaojie being so tactless, Jing Hongchen said forcefully: "Don't say anything more, this matter ends here, I don't want to hear any more news of conflict between you."

Wang Shaojie replied unwillingly: "Yes."

After leaving Mingde Hall, Wang Shaojie punched the wall fiercely, "Since the Lord of Hongchen Hall won't help me with revenge, I will do it myself."

After watching Wang Shaojie leave, Jing Hongchen sorted out the information he had obtained about Huo Yuhao: "The invisibility ability has already appeared in the Soul Master Competition. As for this lifelike clone ability... could it be his third soul ring? I don't know what the limit of this soul skill is."

Even with Jing Hongchen's level of cultivation, he could feel the disgusting nature of Huo Yuhao's fighting method. Apart from sweeping the ground on a large scale to forcibly blast Huo Yuhao's figure out, Jing Hongchen couldn't think of any other way to deal with it for a while.

“Assisting teammates with aiming, invisibility, mental shock,… Two spirit rings, three spirit skills, I’m afraid one of them is a spirit bone… No, Huo Yuhao only had two rings at that time, and Shrek might not have invested in a spirit bone. Could it be that one of them is a natural ability, or some kind of spirit guide?”

Jing Hongchen thought of the torso bone that Huo Yuhao had during the physical test.

“Huo Yuhao only has one torso bone, which should be obtained after the Soul Master Competition. It is a reward from the Soul Master Competition. This means that Huo Yuhao has hidden a soul skill.”

Originally, Huo Yuhao was not worthy of Jing Hongchen's attention, but the hidden mental shock during the game destroyed Meng Hongchen's poison dispersion plan, and the light-attribute soul guide broke Xiao Hongchen's defense, which forced Jing Hongchen to pay more attention to the future opponents of his grandson and granddaughter.

It’s really that Huo Yuhao is such an annoying person. He usually hides in the corner and doesn’t take any action, but once he does, he can catch his opponent off guard.

“Let’s see if we can build a spiritual defense soul guide for Xiao and Meng first. In addition, we also have a detection soul guide. We can’t let them fall to Huo Yuhao twice in a row.”

On the other side, after cleaning the soul guide laboratory, Huo Yuhao went straight back to the dormitory and started tinkering with the image-retaining formation.

The first thing to do is to solve the problem of copying the storage array, that is, to copy the contents of the storage array in batches.

After all, keeping only one copy of evidence is not safe enough.

By the time Huo Yuhao came to his senses after completing this research, it was already dark.

There was a knock on the door, "Bang, bang, bang", which made me pause while stretching.

That’s right. After all, there was quite a bit of trouble this morning, and Xuan Ziwen had to come and inform us of the outcome.

Huo Yuhao opened the door and the person standing outside was Xuan Ziwen.

"The matter has been dealt with. Although the royal family is dissatisfied, the Red Dust Hall Master suppressed it. The royal family also had to give the Red Dust Hall Master face and didn't say anything more. I heard that the Red Dust Hall Master also warned Wang Shaojie, so he shouldn't bother you again."

Huo Yuhao thanked him and said, “Thank you for your help, Teacher Xuan.”

Xuan Ziwen waved his hand and said, "Okay, this matter is also my fault for not teaching my disciples well. It's getting late, so I will go back first. You should also go to bed early."

After bidding farewell to Xuan Ziwen, Huo Yuhao returned to his seat with a strange look on his face.

How come even Jing Hongchen was alarmed by this matter? Could it be that Wang Shaojie's revenge will never come?

Looking at the two videos he had just copied, Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.

What Huo Yuhao didn't know was that Huo Yuhao's behavior as the sixth in the competition and the blackmail incident put Huo Yuhao on Jing Hongchen's list. Compared with his soul master talent, Huo Yuhao's background that had never been fully exposed was what Jing Hongchen wanted to explore.

After all, the unknown is always more frightening than the known.

No matter how strong the extreme ice is, there are ways to deal with it before it grows, but there is no way to guard against unknown things in advance.
