Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao's Path of the Knights

To get rid of Tian Ce Jian's entanglement, Huo Yuhao found a suitable excuse and left the dormitory.

"This is terrifying! I have absolutely no chance against such a Heavenly Strategy Sword!"

Recalling Tian Ce Jian's actions just now, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but tremble.

Compared to this ridiculous Tian Ce Sword, he even felt that the arrogant young nobleman from before was better.

At the very least, the arrogant young nobleman wouldn't hug her directly, nor would he look at her with strange eyes!

"What's wrong with Tian Ce Sword? No, I have to go ask Grandpa Butler."

Having made up his mind, Huo Yuhao immediately planned to go to the Heavenly Strategy Sword to ask the steward for the truth.

However, when Huo Yuhao went to see the butler, countless people were saddened and melancholy because of him.

"Why isn't the boss here yet!"

"Did the boss quit? No way! I've only eaten here a few times!"

"I came early to queue up today, but why isn't the boss here?!"

A white-haired girl arrived at a familiar spot and saw a crowd of people queuing up and complaining, but the owner of the grilled fish stall had not yet appeared.

"Has Grandpa already spoken to him?"

Not seeing that graceful figure, Meng Hongchen felt a little regretful.

With a soft sigh, Meng Hongchen turned and walked towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

Back at Mingde Hall, entering her brother's laboratory, Meng Hongchen no longer concealed her regret.

"Oh, what a pity..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen, who was still studying, stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Meng Hongchen, whose face was full of melancholy.

"What's wrong, Meng? What happened?"

"Sigh, you don't understand..."

Xiao Hongchen frowned.

"So what exactly happened?"

"Sigh, stop talking. I need some private space to be alone."

Laughing at the World: "?"

"But this is my private lab! This is my private space!"

"Then you should go out for a bit. I need some private space to be alone."

Laughing at the World: "..."

"Oh……"

Laughing in exasperation, Xiao Hongchen covered her face to calm herself down.

"Okay, I'm just kidding. The truth is, that amazing grilled fish stall is closing down and never will reopen."

"It's just grilled fish, is it really that delicious?"

Xiao Hongchen lowered his hand and looked at his younger sister.

Ever since she tried grilled fish once, Meng Hongchen has spent time buying it every day.

I really don't know what magic that grilled fish has that makes Meng so obsessed.

"I told you long ago, but you wouldn't understand. That grilled fish was absolutely divine; its taste and its status were unparalleled!"

Grilled fish, and its identity?

What else can a grilled fish be?

Could that grilled fish have been grilled by a peerless genius?

Xiao Hongchen looked down on grilled fish. In his opinion, no matter how delicious a grilled fish was, it was just so-so.

Since his younger sister liked it, Xiao Hongchen didn't want to spoil the mood, and instead continued to suggest:

"If you really like the taste of grilled fish, you can just go to the stall owner and hire them as your personal chef, then you can eat grilled fish every day!"

"Want to make them your personal chef?"

Meng Hongchen chuckled softly, her eyebrows curving upwards and the corners of her mouth turning up, as if she had heard something very interesting.

Laughing at the World: "?"

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, I just thought you could talk to Grandpa about this and see if he would agree."

"What's there to agree or disagree about? It's just hiring someone as a personal chef. It's not like we can't afford to support one."

As he spoke, Xiao Hongchen stretched his shoulders and walked towards the laboratory door.

"Meng, if you're too scared to go, I'll go talk to Grandpa about it. I've been staying in the lab these past few days anyway, so I might as well get out and get some exercise."

Watching Xiao Hongchen's departing figure, Meng Hongchen's smile deepened.

"I wonder how Xiao will react after learning the truth; it will be very interesting!"

Meng Hongchen covered her mouth and chuckled a few times.

"However, we could go directly to Huo Yuhao and see if he has time."

As she spoke, Meng Hongchen skipped and hopped out of Xiao Hongchen's laboratory.

……

Xiao Hongchen moved very quickly and arrived at the dean's office in no time.

He is always decisive and efficient; once he sets his mind on something, he wants to get it done quickly!

"Yes, it's Xiao. What do you need Grandpa for?"

Upon hearing the voice, Jing Hongchen first looked up at the person below, and only after confirming that it was her grandson did she smile and look up at him.

"Grandpa, did you know that Meng has been going to a certain grilled fish stall a lot lately?"

Jing Hongchen's eyes flickered, her voice tinged with a hint of confusion:

"I know, but what's wrong with that?"

"I heard from Meng that the owner of that grilled fish stall has stopped running it, but Meng still wants to try it, so I wanted to discuss with my grandfather whether we could have that grilled fish stall owner become our family's chef."

As Jing Hongchen listened to Xiao Hongchen's words, his expression gradually became strange.

"Although I've never been to that grilled fish stall or eaten that kind of grilled fish, there's no pressure at all if it's just a chef. Even if all he can do is grilled fish, as long as he can make Meng happy, that's enough."

"So you mean you're going to make that grilled fish stall owner a chef? And support him?"

"You could say that."

Jing Hongchen frowned, his gaze fixed on Xiao Hongchen. He looked his grandson up and down, as if he were pondering something.

After a moment of silence, Jing Hongchen asked again:

"Haha, you've been in the lab these past few days, haven't you?"

"Yes, Grandpa, after all, the academy has produced two more geniuses. I can't let them surpass me like this!"

"It's good that you're confident, but Huo Yuhao has already become a level three Soul Master. Haha, you don't have much time left."

"I won't let my guard down, Grandpa!"

Her brows relaxed, and Jing Hongchen chuckled softly before looking at Xiao Hongchen with a smile:

"That laugh, do you know what Huo Yuhao has been up to lately?"

Before Xiao Hongchen could answer, Jing Hongchen gave his answer first:

"Huo Yuhao has actually been doing something in private recently. Although it's not a bad thing, it's not good for his career development either."

"What's wrong?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes as he noticed something amiss; he had a feeling that something was wrong.

"He's been selling grilled fish privately lately, and I heard it's selling like hotcakes, and the fish tastes really good."

Laughing at the World: "!"

"What?! The owner of that grilled fish stall is Huo Yuhao, the academy's unparalleled genius?!"

Xiao Hongchen's eyes widened instantly; he felt as if the world had gone mad.

A peerless genius actually went back to selling grilled fish?!

Damn it, Meng must have known the details all along...

They didn't tell him, and they deliberately played a trick on him!

He made such a fool of himself...

How awful, Dream!

Seeing Xiao Hongchen's appearance, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but laugh, and joked at the same time:

"So, you're laughing now? Do you still want that grilled fish stall owner to be your family's personal chef? Do you still want to support him?"

Hearing her grandfather's teasing, Xiao Hongchen's lips twitched. She then turned her head away and gritted her teeth as she squeezed out a sentence:

"Who wants to raise that guy...?"
