Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Mechanical Wolf, Creating an Unmanned Army

Chapter 161 The Worries of the Hongchen Siblings

After leaving the Sea God Pavilion.

Jiang Cheng then headed towards the residences of the inner courtyard disciples.

Along the way, many people greeted him, and he nodded in response.

Some of them were students from the inner academy, while others were teachers, all of whom took the initiative to greet him.

He asked someone at random and soon arrived at the courtyard where Hongchen and his sister lived.

Is anyone home?

Jiang Cheng did not use his Eye of Insight to investigate the courtyard.

Within residential areas, he generally avoids exploring to prevent seeing anything he shouldn't; that's people's privacy, and he should at least respect it.

"The door's unlocked, come in."

A man's voice came from inside.

Jiang Cheng pushed open the door, and the man came out of the living room.

"Are you Jiang Cheng?"

Xiao Hongchen paused, staring blankly at Jiang Cheng.

Because four years have passed, they have all changed quite a bit.

Moreover, everyone's relationship has changed; they've gone from being enemies to being relatives.

"It's me, your brother-in-law."

Jiang Cheng smiled slightly.

However, Xiao Hongchen's face turned ashen, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

He used to admire Jiang Cheng's strength and only harbored hostility towards Wang Dong. Now, he wished he were stronger so he could beat the kid in front of him to death.

I don't know what my father was thinking, that he actually arranged a marriage between Xiaomeng and Jiang Cheng.

Mingming's father knew.

This guy already has two fiancées.

If Xiaomeng goes there, she will definitely be bullied.

The most outrageous thing was that Meng Hongchen actually agreed.

Her reason was that she could be with Wang Dong again, and even though she knew Wang Dong was a girl, she was still attracted to Wang Dong's looks.

He often teased Wang Dong, and became increasingly uninhibited in front of him.

"Come in."

Xiao Hongchen had a cold face.

Although he disliked Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng was his brother-in-law due to the arranged marriage by his parents and matchmakers.

You can act like the older brother-in-law sometimes, but you can't really shut people out!

Who knows, if my sister marries Jiang Cheng in the future, Jiang Cheng might bully Meng Hongchen because of him.

"Brother, who's here?"

Meng Hongchen sat cross-legged on the sofa, her silver hair cascading down to her waist.

Compared to the girl with a ponytail a few years ago, she now looks more like a mature woman.

In particular, the red school uniform worn by students in the inner courtyard had a unique charm.

"Your fiancé."

He replied, "I have no desire to live in this mortal world."

Meng Hongchen, who had seemed quite relaxed, suddenly stopped speaking.

She looked up at Jiang Cheng, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes, before quickly looking away.

Jiang Cheng, even in the past, had an eye-catching face.

Now that I'm older, I still carry a sense of aloofness reminiscent of the Snow Emperor.

This undeniably aloof and handsome man stepped out of the painting, only "a tiny bit" less attractive than Wang Dong.

"Jiang Cheng!"

Meng Hongchen stood up.

She placed her feet directly on the ground and straightened her clothes.

At home, she didn't pay much attention to her image; she just laughed at Hongchen all the time.

"Sit down, don't be shy."

Jiang Cheng stepped forward and sat down calmly next to Meng Hongchen.

Meng Hongchen also sat down, but with her hands on her lap, she seemed a little uncomfortable.

"Jiang Cheng, why did Father make us stay at Shrek Academy? Has something happened in the Sun Moon Empire?"

Xiao Hongchen immediately pressed for an answer.

How could he not notice something so unusual?

Even Ming Hongchen's arrangement for Meng Hongchen and Jiang Cheng to get engaged might have been a way of entrusting his orphanage to someone else.

"yes!"

"I wrote to my father, but he didn't say anything."

When Meng Hongchen talked about this matter, she couldn't help but feel flustered.

Her body involuntarily softened, no longer in a tense state as before.

"Since Teacher Hongchen isn't telling you, it means he doesn't want you to know, and he certainly won't tell me anyway."

Jiang Cheng was indeed not informed.

However, both the memories from the original work and the ubiquitous mechanical wolves told him that the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire was about to change.

The change of imperial power in the Sun and Moon Empire meant the deaths of many people; even a slight misstep in choosing the wrong side could cost one's life.

Even if you choose the right side, you might not be valued and might even be relegated to a lower position.

"Then why did Father want you to marry Xiaomeng?"

The latest novel is first published here!

I really don't understand the world.

He wrote several letters to Ming Hongchen but received no reply. They were clearly from the Sun Moon Empire, so why did Xiaomeng have to marry her "enemy"?

In Xiao Hongchen's opinion, Xiao Meng's future husband should marry into the Hongchen family.

As for Jiang Cheng?

It's simply unrealistic to expect him to marry into the family.

Besides Meng Hongchen, he has two other fiancées on the surface: one is the next head of the Sea God Pavilion, and the other is Princess Jiujiu of the Star Luo Royal Family.

Such a person would absolutely never marry into a wealthy or influential family.

According to Xiao Hongchen's speculation.

It must be that my father and grandfather are doing something unknown and extremely dangerous.

If something really goes wrong, they might need Jiang Cheng's protection, or rather, they might need the protection of the forces behind Jiang Cheng.

It seems that the Hongchen family paid a considerable price to arrange the marriage between Jiang Cheng and Meng Hongchen.

After all, both Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Royal Family offered Jiang Cheng incentives that satisfied him.

If the Hongchen family can't afford it, why should Jiang Cheng agree?

"Your father's judgment is indeed better than yours."

Jiang Cheng leaned back.

There was no affection between him and Meng Hongchen; it was purely a marriage of convenience based on mutual benefit.

This is the same for Xu Jiujiu.

As for Zhang Lexuan, she is slightly better off, after all, she was Jiang Cheng's mentor.

If we're really talking about feelings, Wang Dong and Huo Yutong are the ones he has the best relationships with.

Zhang Lexuan was just special to him.

"Go ahead and say I'm blind!"

Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth.

Four years have passed, and his soul power has reached level 70.

He only needs to acquire one more soul ring to become a Soul Saint, making him incredibly powerful.

Whether in terms of soul tools or martial souls, he is undoubtedly the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire.

Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng's sudden emergence dealt him a major blow, and even Huo Yuhao, who was by his side, posed a great threat to Xiao Hongchen.

"Brother, say less."

Meng Hongchen understood her brother's thoughts.

He didn't want to marry someone else without knowing the circumstances, becoming a victim of an arranged marriage.

Actually, she was quite willing.

There is probably no one in the world more outstanding than Jiang Cheng; he is the best choice.

Moreover, her "good sister" Wang Dong will definitely be Jiang Cheng's person in the future.

"You will remain at Shrek Academy for the time being."

"Since I promised Teacher Hongchen that I would take care of you, I will not go back on my word."

"You can rest assured, Teacher Hongchen has my secret weapon, even Limit Douluo can't do anything to them."

Jiang Cheng comforted Meng Hongchen.

They had to put Meng Hongchen at ease, so that they wouldn't worry about Jing Hongchen and Ming Hongchen.

Moreover, the two of them wouldn't stay at Shrek Academy for too long.

Soon, the next Advanced Soul Master Tournament will be held in Mingdu.

The Hongchen siblings will definitely go back to participate in the competition.
