Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao's Path of the Knights

"Let's let Meng calm down first."

Compared to Jing Hongchen, who knew Huo Yuhao's true talent, and Xiao Hongchen, who didn't have a good relationship with Huo Yuhao, Meng Hongchen was the most shocked and the most incredulous after learning the news.

"If Huo Yuhao really has a problem, then it can be considered a lesson that can help Meng grow. If Huo Yuhao doesn't have a problem..."

"Grandpa, how could he be alright!"

"Don't be impulsive, and don't jump to conclusions before the truth comes out."

Grandpa's calm and earnest advice reached her ears, and Xiao Hongchen subconsciously clenched her hands, but quickly relaxed them again.

"If it's all a misunderstanding, I won't interfere. But if his approach to Meng was truly for ulterior motives, then I will not let him off!"

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes. He would not let the guy who dared to hurt his sister get away with it!

……

Huo Yuhao was unaware of what had happened in the dean's office, but with his exceptional spiritual eyes, he could vaguely sense that something concerning him had occurred.

The Spirit Eye, after reaching the pinnacle of spirituality, can serve as a kind of early warning for certain events.

Sensing the slight anomaly emanating from his spiritual eye, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.

Something's about to happen?

The stronger the abnormality of the spirit eye, the greater the danger it indicates.

"But the warning feeling isn't very strong. If it's just a slight anomaly... it shouldn't be anything serious."

Sensing the slightly unusual spiritual gaze, Huo Yuhao muttered softly in the laboratory.

The boy quickly stopped thinking about it and continued to focus his attention on the experimental table in front of him.

He had been thinking about what gift to give to Senior Sister Meng, and with Armor Bro's suggestion, he finally came up with a suitable gift.

"I wonder if Senior Meng will like this gift."

Gazing at the nearly completed soul tool he had made himself, the boy muttered to himself.

The armored guy gave himself a lot of advice, but many of them sounded unreliable or even unserious.

"Wearing a boy's outfit and sweetly calling Meng-senpai 'older sister' is just too weird..."

Recalling what the armored man had said on the communicator, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but lower his head, his delicate face...

It turned bright red.

As an eleven or twelve-year-old innocent boy who had never even held the hand of a girl his age, Huo Yuhao was completely susceptible to teasing in this regard.

Saying something slightly strange will make him blush with embarrassment.

Not to mention, every time Meng-senpai is mentioned, Armor Guy teases him:

"Hey hey hey, our little Yuhao has a crush on someone. How about it, do you need your armored brother to teach you how to win her over?"

He clearly said that he didn't have a crush on Senior Meng, he just felt that Senior Meng was very nice to him.

He talked to Armor Guy a lot and explained a lot, but unfortunately, Armor Guy wouldn't listen.

Every time, she would tease herself until she was blushing and embarrassed, and only stop when she didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, some of the suggestions made by Armored Bro were quite reliable, at least in Huo Yuhao's opinion, they were much more reliable than calling him "sister".

"I haven't seen Meng-senpai much these past couple of days..."

Huo Yuhao had some doubts, but he didn't think much of it.

After all, Senior Meng also has her own life and tasks, so it's normal not to see each other for a while.

"Perfect, this will also be a surprise for Senior Sister Meng."

……

Huo Yuhao was preparing a return gift for Meng Hongchen, but Meng Hongchen was not feeling well at the moment.

Meng Hongchen stayed in her room, sitting on the bed with her legs bent and her arms wrapped around herself.

The girl lowered her head, pressed her chest against her knees, and curled up into a ball.

When she first learned that Huo Yuhao's identity was questionable, she didn't believe it.

But the information her grandfather then showed her made her realize the reality.

Huo Yuhao's identity is really questionable...

His arrival in the Sun Moon Empire likely has ulterior motives...

After the initial shock and doubt, Meng Hongchen was met with a profound sense of loss and confusion.

She had hoped to have a friend...

But what I received was deception...

Meng Hongchen was at a loss as to how to face the situation.

Friends are fake, experiences are fake, even Huo Yuhao himself might be fake...

It could all be a facade, while you foolishly believe you have a good relationship with the other person...

The girl lowered her head even further, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

She just sat there silently on the bed, without moving.

After an unknown amount of time, Meng Hongchen suddenly raised her head.

The girl's delicate face still looked somewhat haggard, but the disappointment and confusion on her face were gone.

She wanted to find out for herself what was real and what was fake!

The girl ran out of the room and headed towards the dean's office.

Before long, Meng Hongchen arrived at the dean's office.

"You've come, Dream."

Jing Hongchen, in the dean's office, watched Meng Hongchen enter through the door, her tone indifferent.

"Grandpa, I need to confirm the situation with Huo Yuhao myself!"

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen remained silent. Instead, he took out a small, exquisitely crafted soul tool that resembled a bracelet, as well as a soul tool that looked like a receiver, from his spatial soul tool.

After handing the two soul tools to Meng Hongchen, Jing Hongchen then began to explain:

"This is a specially made lie detector soul tool. If you really make a decision, then find a way to get Huo Yuhao to wear that bracelet."

Taking the exquisite lie detector, Meng Hongchen lowered her eyes.

"Don't worry about Huo Yuhao using his simulation soul skill to change the display of results. His simulation can only change appearance and aura; it cannot change voice or touch."

Upon hearing this, the girl gripped the specially made lie-detecting soul tool in her hand tightly, then nodded vigorously:

"I understand, Grandpa."

Meng Hongchen raised her head and exchanged a glance with Jing Hongchen, then turned and left.

She's going to find Huo Yuhao!

She wanted to get to the bottom of everything!

After his granddaughter disappeared from sight, Jing Hongchen remained silent for a moment, then took out another receiver from his spatial soul tool.

Although he didn't think Huo Yuhao was an undercover agent, he couldn't possibly let his granddaughter go looking for people of unknown identity on her own.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao's martial soul is the Spirit Eye, which represents the ultimate spiritual power. If Meng goes alone, there is a possibility that she will be deceived by Huo Yuhao.

Therefore, in order to ensure his granddaughter's safety and to personally verify Huo Yuhao's identity, he would secretly observe and protect her.

If Huo Yuhao is acting strangely and tries to harm Meng, he will intervene directly to stop him.

However, this is the worst-case scenario, since the opponent is a genuine ultimate spiritual martial soul and an unparalleled genius in soul tools.

Jing Hongchen really didn't want to take action until the very last step.

Even if Huo Yuhao really had ulterior motives, he would try to lock Huo Yuhao up in the Sun Moon Empire as long as there was an opportunity and a possibility.

If it's truly impossible to recruit them as our own...

A ruthless glint flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes.

What their Sun Moon Empire can't have, no one else can have either!
