Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 161 A large group of people with very different personalities

To be honest, he really admired the group of bullying and xenophobic guys in front of him for being able to hold out for so long.

After a tense standoff in the stairwell for about fifteen minutes, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen continued to chat and laugh peacefully.

But the leader of the human wall suddenly turned pale as he heard a series of thumping sounds from between the buildings.

He immediately said urgently:

"Go upstairs!"

Unfortunately, his hearing was very sensitive, but not sensitive enough.

Before the human wall could push Hongchen and his sister a few steps, a group of core disciples from the Soul Guidance Department came rushing up the stairs.

Their expressions were anxious, yet also tinged with excitement, giving them a somewhat zombie-like feel.

"Don't……"

Within the human wall, only the first word was uttered before it abruptly ceased.

Because in the eyes of this group of almost insane researchers, they can only see the core figures of the research project, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen.

As for the human wall in front of them, they didn't know who they were or what they did, nor did they want to know.

All they knew was that the Hongchen siblings' secret escape had greatly slowed down the project's progress, which was absolutely intolerable!

The surging crowd transformed into a human wall, while the Hongchen siblings were lifted high above the heads of the crazed core disciples of the Soul Guidance Department and marched in a grand procession toward the department's laboratory.

The siblings, Hongchen and his sister, who were riding in the human sedan chair, did not show much surprise, and it did not seem like this was their first time experiencing it.

Meng Hongchen quickly covered her skirt with her hand to prevent it from being exposed by the wind.

As for those bullying and xenophobic guys...

The stairwell became quiet, but it wasn't empty.

The bodies lay sprawled on the ground, intertwined and haphazardly arranged, all unconscious.

If they hadn't possessed cultivation skills, several of them would have been killed in this stampede.

After a few seconds of silence, Du Weilun suddenly appeared at the top of the stairwell.

Similarly, at the bottom of the staircase, a guest elder from the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy came out.

A slender woman with flowing purple hair and a few strands of white hair swaying in front of her forehead, dressed in a martial arts outfit or similar tight-fitting clothes.

"I am Shao Wuxue, and today's outcome was not instigated by my young master."

"Director Du Weilun, surely you wouldn't go so far as to make trouble for the exchange students representing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy over this?"

Upon hearing this, Du Weilun pushed up his nose and upper eyelids, reflecting streaks of dark light.

A hand suddenly shot out, blocking the student behind him who was about to make a move.

"They're all minor injuries, nothing serious. Just carry them to the infirmary and get them treated."

"Furthermore, warn them that this mistake should be noted down and may be recorded in their student files at any time."

Shao Wuxue waited until everyone had left before silently walking down the stairs towards the location of the Soul Guidance Department.

"Tsk~"

"The young master's behavior has really triggered two extremes."

"Those who like you are deeply attracted by your talent and are obsessed with pursuing you."

Those who dislike you dislike you even more. Young Master, you have such a haughty attitude towards everyone that you suffer a lot because of it.

"Sigh~"

"But who is it that I like a young master like you?"

It's hard to tell whether he was talking to himself or rambling incoherently.

With many personal items belonging to Xiao Hongchen hanging at his waist, it seems that his personality is somewhat different from that of ordinary people.

Soul Guidance System Laboratory, Battle Armor Project Department.

"Haha, you really went out to find inspiration?"

"Didn't you sneak out to slack off?"

"You are the person in charge of the development of the Battle Armor project, so you need to be careful with your words."

A slight twitch could be seen at the corner of Xiao Hongchen's mouth. These "colleagues" were really good at making friends. They called him "Xiao" so fluently. Even Xiao Meng couldn't say it as smoothly as they did.

Despite his inner grumbling, he maintained a haughty and arrogant demeanor on the surface.

"Of course, I go out to seek inspiration."

"Experimenter No. 3, repeat the experiment according to the Group A, Grade C plan."

"Experimenter No. 7, replace the eleven level-six soul tools that make up the battle armor, including the soul tools on the right leg and waist, with Purple Yin Gold."

"Experimenter Number Eleven..."

Xiao Hongchen still held considerable authority in the lab. Even though he was still suspected of slacking off, he was the first to handle any assigned tasks.

After assigning tasks, no colleagues were around him anymore.

Speak seriously in a relaxed tone.

"The core of the dream will be completed by you and me together."

"You really found a way to resolve the conflict between the various parts of the battle armor's soul tool in the time it takes to eat a meal?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen immediately retorted, "Dream, how can you doubt even yourself..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

Because the voice asking the question was male, definitely not Meng Hongchen's voice.

Turning around, I saw a familiar figure standing there, seemingly out of nowhere.

"Bebe?!" ×2

"Uh..." Beibei was rather speechless.

"Are you surprised to see me here?"

"The Battle Armor Soul Tool Project was initiated and funded by me. It was only after I recruited you two siblings that it was successfully launched."

"I've put in a lot of effort, you know. It's perfectly normal to come and take a look after you after thinking about it so much."

Laughing at the World: "..."

He stared at Beibei strangely, feeling a sense of déjà vu that was quite unexpected.

It's as if asking: Are you sure you really have even the slightest bit of longing in your heart?

Meng Hongchen, standing beside him, counted on her fingers, going over the numbers again and again, before finally speaking:

"Seven hundred and thirty-one days!"

She stretched out her slender fingers on both palms and pushed them directly in front of Beibei's eyes, shaking them from side to side with considerable dissatisfaction.

"Since you handed over the Battle Armor Soul Tool project to me and Xiao, you haven't shown up in front of us for a full 731 days!"

"In just two years, Xiao has grown up!"

"According to the customs of our Sun Moon Empire, the coming-of-age ceremony is held at the age of eighteen. Two years ago, Xiao was still a minor, but now he is a grown-up old man who has matured in every way."

In Bei Bei's view, Xiao Hongchen, who was standing behind Meng Hongchen, had a face covered in dark lines.

He felt sorry for the other person. This young lady wasn't just siding with outsiders, she was siding with them in a very difficult way.

The first blow, an elbow strike, was delivered to his own brother, following the path of personal attack and critical strike.

He immediately reached out and blocked Meng Hongchen's hand, pushing it to her lips and sealing them completely.

At the same time, unleash a smooth little combo to divert attention.

"I'm just going into seclusion for a period of time to cultivate; do you really need to specify the exact day?"

He waved his hand dismissively, seemingly unconcerned about the world.

"It's not something I do with precision, it's just something I do casually. I set aside one day each month to give you and Wang Dong gifts."
