Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 35 Coincidental Grandpa and Reasonable Miss

"Elder Kong, one of Elder Ma's titled Douluo has defected and stolen Elder Ma's Conferred God Platform."

A tall, elderly man with short, gray-white hair, dressed in a bright yellow robe, turned around and angrily said upon hearing this:

"What was he doing! Even if the Conferred God Platform has strict usage conditions, it's still a level nine soul tool. What a huge loss!"

Upon closer inspection, the person hunched over in front of the old man was none other than Jing Hongchen, the head of the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire. Despite his power and status, he was as docile as a child who had done something wrong when facing the old man.

The old man was wearing robes that only members of the royal family were entitled to wear. This man was none other than Kong Deming, the head of the Sun Moon Empire's Hall of Worship.

Faced with Kong Deming's questioning, Jing Hongchen could only bite the bullet and explain:

"Master Kong and Master Ma also know that they are responsible for this accident, and they have already resigned from their positions as chief of Mingde Hall."

"Yes, that's right. However, demoting him to an ordinary elder is enough. The Conferred God Platform was already useless, and now that things have come to this, there's no point in punishing him further."

Upon hearing Kong Deming's answer, Jing Hongchen bowed slightly and nodded: "Yes! Then, who do you think is suitable to take on this vacant chief position?"

Kong Deming replied calmly, "That's your business. You're the head of Mingde Hall, so don't come to me with everything."

Upon hearing Elder Kong's reply, Jing Hongchen could only nod and respond, "Yes."

"By the way, that little guy you mentioned last time who figured out the mysterious formation, hasn't he come back yet?"

"Not yet, the people we sent out lost track of them," Jing Hongchen said, embarrassed.

Kong Deming glared at him, his tone slightly probing, "The academy hasn't mistreated him, has it? Don't let such a talented young man be wasted by you guys."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen reacted as if facing a formidable enemy, quickly waving his hands and saying, "Of course not, Elder Kong! I treat him even better than my own grandson!"

Hearing this, Kong Deming nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it. By the way, have you sent people to chase after that traitorous Title Douluo? Things from the Sun and Moon Realm aren't so easy to take."

"We've already sent people to look for him, but he left school through normal procedures during the holiday, so the chances of finding him are slim."

Upon hearing his answer, Kong Deming frowned and said, "Next time you train talent, make sure you understand their background thoroughly, so you don't end up doing all the work for someone else."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen's expression turned rather unpleasant. The defector was originally from the Sun Moon Empire, so who would have thought that the guy would actually defect? ​​However, he dared not refute Kong Deming's rebuke and could only nod and remain silent.

Seeing this, Kong Deming waved his hand and said indifferently, "Alright, you can go now. Consider this a lesson learned. If that kid comes back, investigate him thoroughly."

"yes!"

Kong Deming watched Jing Hongchen's departing figure and murmured softly, "Originally from the Three Kingdoms, they actually resorted to such methods. It seems my Sun and Moon Army will also have to think of some ways to deal with this."

As Jing Hongchen walked out of the offering hall, a tall old man with short white hair stood outside the door. Upon seeing Jing Hongchen, a hint of unease appeared on his otherwise dignified face.

Jing Hongchen patted his shoulder and whispered:

"Master Kong said that in consideration of your many years of diligence, he will demote you to an ordinary elder and will not impose any other punishments, so that you will not feel too guilty and will not even have the courage to see him."

After hearing this, Elder Ma breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Jing Hongchen, saying, "Thank you, Hall Master. I'll go in and explain it to Elder Kong in detail."

Jing Hongchen nodded indifferently and left.

"Master Hongchen, Lin Dong, the one you said you wanted to keep a close eye on, has returned."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen's previous gloom vanished instantly, replaced by overwhelming joy, and she flew directly towards the student villa.

"You brat, it's a good thing you came back. If you had run away, Master Kong would have killed me."

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, student villa.

"Lin Dong, you're back! Why didn't you stay and enjoy your vacation a few more days?"

Looking at Meng Hongchen, who was dressed in a white dress, had a silver ponytail, and stood before him with smiling eyes, Lin Dong smiled and nodded:

"There's nothing fun about it; nowhere outside has the same facilities as the academy."

"Yes, you're right. Our dormitory is probably the most luxurious on the entire continent, considering there are only a few of us."

As Meng Hongchen spoke, she suddenly leaned closer to Lin Dong and gently sniffed:

"Hmm? Why does it smell like a woman? What have you been up to on vacation?"

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Lin Dong said helplessly, "What could I possibly do? Don't make wild guesses, Miss Meng. Let me in first."

Meng Hongchen stepped forward, blocking his way, and said with a mocking expression:

"Hmph, who knows what you've been up to? I was just about to say, how come you've become so handsome after being away for a few days? Tell me, which woman did you get dressed up?"

Hearing her words, Lin Dong looked at her with some confusion until she handed him a mirror. After seeing his own face clearly, Lin Dong touched his face and said softly:

"It seems so. I don't know what's going on, but it's probably related to my spirit rings."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Xiao Hongchen looked at him and smiled:

"Oh? Is that so? Then can you let me see what's so special about your spirit ring?"

Lin Dong hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but looking into her bright blue eyes, he nodded gently.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Wait! Let me see first. How dare you try to see it before your grandfather?"

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jing Hongchen flying rapidly towards them. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be at the academy, using his maximum speed.

Meng Hongchen gave him a slightly jealous look, and said sourly:

"Grandpa, it's just that Lin Dong is back. Why are you acting like you want to teleport right over? Aren't you afraid of running into other students?"

Seeing her resentful gaze, Jing Hongchen coughed lightly, feigning composure, and blushed slightly before saying:

"You silly girl, you're even nagging your grandpa! I'm happy Lin Dong is back, and I just wanted to practice my speed. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Understood, that makes sense."

Meng Hongchen knew that nothing she said would make a difference, so she could only reply indifferently.

Unexpectedly, Jing Hongchen didn't even bother to look at him, turning to Lin Dong and smiling:

"Hehe, you're back! That's good. How was your trip?"

"Some progress has been made, Dean."

"Oh? What's your plan? Let me take a look."

Seeing Jing Hongchen's eager and expectant eyes, Lin Dong paused and said, "Are you sure you want to do it here, Dean?"

Jing Hongchen was taken aback, then sighed helplessly, "What's there to hide? Why don't you take us to your room?"

Lin Dong quickly shook his head after hearing this: "Then let's do it here. I'll begin."

Meng Hongchen and Jing Hongchen both unconsciously widened their eyes, waiting for Lin Dong to unleash that so-called slightly rewarding soul skill.
