Will there really be no major problems next?
Chapter 150: The Value of a Single Page in the Family Tree
The passionate music continued to resonate, and the crystal chandeliers cast countless brilliant beams of light, illuminating the men and women on the dance floor. Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, brother and sister, also joined the dance floor.
But the dance moves of this brother and sister look a bit weird no matter from which angle you look at them.
Xiao Hongchen's movements were extremely stiff, and his face was filled with an extremely embarrassed expression. It was obvious that he was not very optimistic about Meng Hongchen's plan that was full of loopholes.
Meng Hongchen's mind was not at all on the dance steps.
If she hadn't been too conspicuous as a girl entering the dance floor alone, she would probably have been impatient to carry out her plan before Xiao Hongchen arrived.
At this moment, she was almost half dragging and half pulling her brother, her ice-blue eyes piercing through the gaps in the dancing crowd, firmly locked on the young man who was dancing with another woman.
The two of them moved in such a clumsy manner on the dance floor, stumbling and gradually approaching Huo Yuhao and Xu Jiujiu.
In the middle of the dance floor, Xu Jiujiu was about to lead the conversation to the most crucial part.
"...So our Xingluo Royal Family is willing to use that item in exchange for Master Lingbing's friendship, and..."
Before she could finish her words, she caught a glimpse of a dazzling wine-red figure behind Huo Yuhao, rushing towards them in an extremely clumsy posture.
Xu Jiujiu frowned slightly and subconsciously wanted to pull Huo Yuhao away.
But the other party's goal seems to be very clear, and the timing is just right.
With a delicate cry, Meng Hongchen seemed to be tripped by the hem of her skirt, and her whole body lost balance. She staggered straight towards Huo Yuhao's back.
boom--
The moment the two collided, Meng Hongchen took advantage of the reaction force and fell to the ground very smoothly. His eyes turned red instantly, and tears as big as beans rolled in his eyes, and he was about to cry.
"it hurts……"
She covered her ankle, and her voice seemed to be filled with grievance and pain.
And at the moment when everyone's attention was attracted by the beautiful girl who suddenly fell, Xiao Hongchen slipped into the crowd next to him like a loach, and disappeared without a trace in a few flashes.
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly as he looked at the girl on the ground who was hugging her ankle and crying bitterly. Everything that was happening before his eyes was filled with a strong sense of shock for him.
It was as if two people he should have been familiar with suddenly performed an extremely lame play in front of him.
If outsiders didn't know them, they would probably think it was just an accident.
Am I replacing Wang Donger's position?
Looking at the pitiful appearance of the girl on the ground, Huo Yuhao felt a little complicated for a moment. Should he join this performance?
Xu Jiujiu's brows furrowed even more tightly at this moment.
She had just discussed the most crucial point with Huo Yuhao, but these two men bumped into each other on their own. The man seemed to have three legs and ran away without knowing where he was.
But the girl on the ground looks familiar.
Isn't this the person that my royal brother specifically pointed out to me, the one from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy?
A five-ring soul king, whose physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, can still sprain his foot?
Xu Jiujiu glanced at Huo Yuhao beside him, and he already understood.
Especially when he thought about how he was going to cheat the Sun Moon Empire out of a fortune at the auction, the displeasure on Xu Jiujiu's face was instantly replaced by a gentle smile.
"My friend, are your injuries all right?"
As she spoke, she gracefully squatted down, ready to help Meng Hongchen. "I see there are a lot of people here, why don't we go to the rest area next door to deal with it first, so as not to disturb others."
Although the dance floor is large, the movement here has obviously begun to attract the attention of others.
While Huo Yuhao was still in a daze, Xu Jiujiu reached out and naturally helped Meng Hongchen up from the ground.
Xiao Hongchen, who was watching this scene from a distance, kept twitching the corners of his mouth.
Although my sister's method is rough, it is indeed simple and effective.
Xiao Hongchen's gaze fell on Huo Yuhao again, his brow furrowing even tighter. That kid looked clearly several years younger than Meng.
Although this kind of old cow eating young grass game is not uncommon in the aristocratic circles of the empire, if my grandfather knew about it, I'm afraid he would come out with a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide cannon, tie this kid to a chair, and blow him to ashes on the spot.
But since he had already agreed to his sister's bet, he could only accept it. Fortunately, Meng Hongchen also made three rules with him. He was just testing whether there was a possibility of soul fusion skills, and there would definitely be no unnecessary extraordinary actions.
But this pretty boy is too unromantic, Xiao Hongchen cursed indignantly in his heart.
A grown man, seeing such a beautiful girl fall in front of him, just stood there stupidly, not even thinking to extend his hand, and asked another woman to help?
What a complete lack of gentlemanly manners!
However, Meng Hongchen, who was supported by Xu Jiujiu, didn't care about these at all.
Her eyes were glued to Huo Yuhao from beginning to end, never leaving him for a moment.
Looking at his slightly cold and dazed expression due to the sudden situation, Meng Hongchen felt his heart beating faster.
He looks really good like this, and I seem to like him more and more.
……
On the terrace connected to the banquet hall, the night breeze was a little cool, and the lights extended from the hall, casting blurry light and shadows on the ground.
Meng Hongchen was sitting side by side with Xu Jiujiu on an elegant white bench. She lowered her eyes, a faint blush on her pretty cheeks, and her hands were nervously twisting a ribbon on the edge of her skirt, looking a little embarrassed.
"I'm really sorry to trouble you," Meng Hongchen seemed to have finally mustered up the courage and spoke in a tone with a bit of complaint and speculation.
"The boy who was dancing with me just now was really awful. When he saw me fall, he just ran away. He has no sense of responsibility at all.
Unlike your fiancé, who was caught by me, he was not angry at all and even took the initiative to help me get an ice pack. I really envy you, sister, for having such a gentle and considerate fiancé.
Xu Jiujiu narrowed his eyes slightly and the smile on his face became brighter.
"Sister Meng, you're joking. That guy just now is not my fiancé. I just have a mutually beneficial deal with him within our family. But from what I see, Sister Meng seems to care about him very much."
Hearing Xu Jiujiu pointing out his inner thoughts without any hesitation, Meng Hongchen's little head suddenly raised up, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his ice-blue eyes.
"Sister, I'm not, I didn't..."
"Okay, why are you telling lies in front of your sister? I saw it clearly just now. Your eyes never left him from beginning to end." Xu Jiujiu sighed slightly.
"To be honest, if I wasn't so much older than him, I would probably still be obsessed with him. That feeling of feeling your heart pounding at first sight and being unable to look away. Sister, I really understand you."
Looking at Xu Jiujiu's look of great understanding, Meng Hongchen felt deeply moved. His original vigilance quickly collapsed in the face of the other party's "true feelings".
Girls who like beautiful boys must be good people!
Meng Hongchen's face suddenly showed a bit of shyness and embarrassment that only a young girl could have. She bit her lower lip and whispered, "Sister, I won't hide it from you. I really fell in love with him at first sight. Can you help me pursue him?"
When Xu Jiujiu heard Meng Hongchen admit it so bluntly, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
I wonder what kind of expression this little girl would have if she found out that she was a princess of the Xingluo royal family.
At the same time, she is a direct descendant of the Hongchen Family of the Sun-Moon Empire, and she wants me to help her pursue a student from Shrek Academy?
If your grandfather Jing Hongchen knew about this, he would probably come straight from Mingdu and destroy Xingluo City.
But is Huo Yuhao really that charming?
In the brief contact just now, she naturally knew that the rumors about Huo Yuhao outside were bullshit.
Although he is indeed good-looking, his gentle temperament does make people feel good about him.
But the problem is, this wouldn't be enough to make a genius girl who's already a Soul King before she's even fifteen years old pursue him so recklessly, right?
Xu Jiujiu had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he still showed a kind expression on his face.
She nodded slightly and looked at Meng Hongchen with an encouraging look, preparing to give some friendly guidance to this little sister who might be a traitor in the future.
On the other side, Huo Yuhao was taking a wrapped ice pack from a servant. He looked at the two girls who were whispering together in the gap between the trees on the terrace in the distance and sighed softly.
He didn't believe that he hadn't recognized Meng Hongchen's identity for a long time.
Xingluo City is the host of this Soul Master Competition, and Xu Jiujiu is in charge of the intelligence department of the Xingluo Empire. She at least knows the cultivation and identity of Soul King Meng Hongchen.
It is obvious that Her Royal Highness the Princess also has her own plans.
When Huo Yuhao came back with the ice pack, Xu Jiujiu and Meng Hongchen were already chatting happily, looking like sisters who had met too late.
Upon noticing Huo Yuhao's presence, Xu Jiujiu stopped talking to Meng Hongchen and said with a smile:
"Sister Meng, what you just said really opened my eyes. I grew up in a hidden sect in the Xingluo Empire. I came to study at the Xingluo Empire's academy because I was curious about the outside world.
Now, listening to you talk about the customs and people of the Sun-Moon Empire and the various novel soul guides, I really yearn for it. It's a pity that I have never had the opportunity to see it in person."
Meng Hongchen was very excited at the moment, and the emotional value that Xu Jiujiu had given her in the previous conversation had already reached its maximum.
She only regretted that she was not born in the Sun-Moon Empire, otherwise they would have become the best sisters.
Hearing what Xu Jiujiu said, she immediately patted her chest and said, "What's so difficult about this? Don't worry, Sister Jiujiu, when you come to our Mingdu, I will definitely be your tour guide and take you to enjoy the sun and moon scenery of our Mingdu. I guarantee that you will never want to leave!"
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the two sisters, who were talking to each other happily.
Xu Jiujiu said that she had admired the beauty of Sun and Moon for a long time. Could it be that she was thinking of planting the flag of the Xing Luo Empire on every inch of land in the Sun and Moon Empire one day?
Especially Meng Hongchen, who was fooled by Xu Jiujiu to the point that he almost forgot his own last name. It seemed that he was about to reveal all his secrets.
If Jing Hongchen knew that his most precious granddaughter was almost turning her elbow to the Xingluo Empire, would he be so angry that he vomited blood?
When I think about the Conferred God Platform that the Xingluo Royal Family specially took out at the auction in the previous life, it was obvious that they were going to trick the Sun and Moon Empire.
However, this time, Xue Di did not choose to transform and rebuild, so will the Conferred God Platform appear again?
Before Huo Yuhao could figure it out, Meng Hongchen, who had discovered that he had returned, suddenly remembered his current situation. He frowned and let out a faint cry of pain, as if his ankle was still in unbearable pain.
Xu Jiujiu thought about the conversation he had just had with Meng Hongchen. The smile on his face became even more intense. He stood up gracefully and said to Huo Yuhao.
"Now that you're back, I'll leave Sister Meng in your care. Don't do anything out of line just because you think a girl is easy to bully.
Oh, and don't forget, my brother is waiting for you in the room over there. He's been a long-time admirer of Shrek Academy, and I think you'll have plenty to talk about."
Meng Hongchen, who was trying hard to act out the pain beside him, was suddenly stunned when he heard Xu Jiujiu's words.
What? This handsome boy is actually from Shrek Academy?
No, she should have reacted earlier.
Aren’t those rumors that are spreading around outside praising the beautiful boy from Shrek Academy to the highest level?
In an instant, Meng Hongchen's mind became active.
