Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 51 Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy

Meng Hongchen suddenly burst into anger without any warning, which scared Xiao Hongchen.

Opening his eyes and looking at his sister's worried and even sad eyes, Xiao Hongchen opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't say a word.

"Brother, don't be like this. I know you're sad, and I'm sad too, but Grandpa's accident wasn't your fault. If you keep on being so tense, something will happen sooner or later."

"Meng, you don't understand. This is all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on hunting it myself and wasted so much time, we would have left the Star Dou Great Forest long ago. Grandpa might not have..."

Xiao Hongchen closed his eyes in pain, tears fell from his eyes, his shoulders shook, his voice trembled, and he seemed to be shrouded in shadow.

"Brother, it's not like that. You are imposing all these self-blames on yourself. If grandpa sees you like this, do you think he will be happy?" Meng Hongchen said with red eyes and a crying voice.

"If Grandpa saw me like this..." Xiao Hongchen laughed at himself and murmured, "He would definitely be disappointed if he saw me like this. His most proud grandson, had actually killed him."

"Brother, do you remember? When Grandpa first taught us how to make soul guides, he said the most important thing in making soul guides is your mindset. You have to learn how to control your emotions.

He said that the soul guide is a whole, and we cannot abandon the entire soul guide just because a core magic array fails.

Grandpa often said that on the path of a soul master, the most important thing is not to avoid making mistakes, but to know when to make mistakes and correct them. You are torturing yourself like this now, which is what truly disappoints Grandpa."

"My current appearance really disappoints grandpa..." Xiao Hongchen repeated Meng Hongchen's words, unable to suppress his emotions any longer, and burst into tears.

"Meng, I'm a loser, I'm a coward. I let Grandpa face danger alone. What kind of genius am I? What kind of pride am I to Grandpa?"

"It's all over, everything will be fine." Meng Hongchen gently patted Xiao Hongchen's back and comforted him softly.

Did the pain and sorrow in her heart decrease? But she couldn't show her weakness, because she knew that her brother, the source of the incident, would only feel more regret.

She couldn't be sad yet, at least before Xiao Hongchen got over his self-blame, the Hongchen family's past glory had always depended on his grandfather.

Now that Grandpa has had an accident, they do not yet have the strength to take over the responsibility of the Hongchen family.

Today's Hongchen family has lost its glory, and she and her brother can no longer act as they did in the past. The only thing they can do is work hard to become stronger.

When Xiao Hongchen's crying subsided, Meng Hongchen pretended to tease him and said, "Brother, I remember your dark history very clearly. If you don't want me to spread it, then behave yourself."

"I am such a failure as a brother. I even have to rely on my sister for comfort." Xiao Hongchen laughed, his eyes sharp and his face gradually became cold.

“Before, I was always avoiding reality, which almost gave those who coveted the Hongchen Family an opportunity to take advantage of me.

Humph, even if grandpa is gone, my Hongchen family is not something that can be taken away by some random person!"

After saying this, Xiao Hongchen put away his cold expression and changed into his old self again. He stood up, tidied his appearance, turned around and said to Meng Hongchen behind him:
"Didn't Mr. Ma say he was in a meeting? Why are you standing there?"

"I'm coming, I'm coming." A touching smile bloomed on Meng Hongchen's face. The huge stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He agreed and walked out of the room in slippers.

"Mr. Ma, I'm sorry I'm late." Xiao Hongchen put away his smile as he entered the meeting room, bowing slightly to show respect. "It's okay, it's okay. I thought none of you would come. That's great." Mr. Ma was delighted to feel Xiao Hongchen's familiar presence.

After learning of Jing Hongchen's death, Xiao Hongchen changed the most. He practiced diligently day and night, and many senior officials of the academy saw it.

However, this kind of situation where people work hard due to stimulation will always lead to the same problem, namely psychological problems. For this reason, the college also sent several teachers to provide psychological counseling to the brother and sister.

Meng Hongchen is fine, but Xiao Hongchen has a big problem. His desire for strength is almost as strong as that of Ji Juechen, the sword maniac. This is not a good thing until his psychological problems are resolved.

As the dean of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and the head of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen has always been very good in dealing with people, and Mr. Ma does not want these two talented juniors to have any problems.

But now it seems that all the worries were unnecessary, Xiao Hongchen's problem has been solved.

"Let's continue. According to our information, there are only eight Shrek students participating in this competition, and only one of them is over fifteen years old. What do you think this means?"

Old Ma signaled Hongchen and his sister to sit down with his eyes and continued to analyze. As the second-in-command for thousands of years, Riyue was always suppressed by Shrek, and none of them felt aggrieved.

"Doesn't this mean that the main players are almost all reserves? How can they be so arrogant? This is not like their style.

They take the competition very seriously. When I was still in the reserve team, I personally witnessed a Shrek student die in battle."

Ma Rulong frowned, obviously not understanding what the Shrek students were doing.

"The only student over fifteen should be one of the regular team. Maybe something happened to another member of Shrek Academy's regular team.

After all, if you really just want the reserve team to participate, there's no need to do this. On the contrary, if you don't, having only one regular player means something unexpected has happened to the others."

Xiao Hongchen's analysis was so logical that it was hard not to be convinced.

"If that's the case, we will definitely win the championship this time!" Micah looked excited and very excited. No one could remain calm about the title of champion.

Not to mention the benefits behind it. As a member of the championship team, the actual benefits they can obtain are even more exaggerated, including an improvement in identity and status, and more resources are allocated.

"We still can't be careless. There is another possibility that Shrek's regular players are on their way, although the possibility is very small." Old Ma raised his hand to signal everyone to listen to him.

"Isn't the registration closed?" said a thin student.

“Shrek Academy has the privilege of registering at any time, but they have never used it. After all, they have always attached great importance to the competition and would not be stupid enough to miss the registration.

That's why I said the possibility of their draftees still being on their way is very small. Normal people would have signed up long in advance."

Old Ma sighed. This was not Shrek’s privilege, but the privilege of the champion king. It was a respect for the strong man who had won the championship for ten thousand years.

They have been waiting for this first place for too long.
