Chapter 26 The Scoring Master Mirror Red Dust
Meng Hongchen, who always liked to tease her brother, surprisingly did not refute him. Although it was only for a moment, she still caught the hesitation in her brother's eyes. This was the first time she had seen him react like this.
No matter what, he's still her own brother. Lin Dong, on the other hand, is still an outsider for now. At this time, she should side with her brother.
three days later.
"Greetings, Dean."
Looking at Jing Hongchen, who was smiling at him, Lin Dong clasped his hands in a fist salute and smiled.
Jing Hongchen took out a blue gem the size of a pigeon's egg from her sleeve, handed it to Lin Dong, and chuckled:
"This is a storage soul tool. Your flying soul tool is already inside. These are all for you."
Upon hearing Jing Hongchen's words, Lin Dong accepted the blue gem without ceremony and smiled, "Then thank you very much, Dean."
Jing Hongchen smiled and waved his hand: "Why are you being so polite with me?"
At this moment, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, wearing flying soul tools, slowly walked towards this side. Upon seeing Lin Dong, Meng Hongchen greeted him with a smile and said, "Good morning, Lin Dong."
Under Jing Hongchen's intense gaze, Xiao Hongchen managed to squeeze out a single word: "Good morning."
Lin Dong was already used to this guy's arrogance, and nodded with a smile as he looked at the two of them.
Jing Hongchen glared at Xiao Hongchen, thinking that this brat was no more considerate than his granddaughter. Then she looked at Lin Dong and said with a smile, "Don't mind him, Lin Dong. This brat meant no harm."
"It's alright, Dean. I know he's just cold on the outside but warm on the inside."
Meng Hongchen secretly nudged Xiao Hongchen, who blushed slightly and muttered to himself: "What nonsense is this guy talking about?"
After checking their equipment, the four took off and flew towards the outskirts of the city. They hadn't flown for long when Jing Hongchen suddenly turned and asked:
"By the way, Lin Dong, it must have been a tough first time for you to get off a flying soul tool, right?"
Lin Dong asked, somewhat confused, "No, Dean, what kind of reaction should I have?"
Seeing Lin Dong's bewildered expression, Jing Hongchen rolled her eyes at the stunned Meng Hongchen:
"It's your trickery again, isn't it? You failed this mission with a score of 50, and your resources will be halved for the rest of the week!"
"puff"
Seeing Meng Hongchen's miserable expression, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but laugh out loud. Jing Hongchen glanced at him and said calmly:
"What are you laughing at? You got zero points, and you've lost all your resources for the next week."
The two, who had been so enthusiastic, suddenly became somewhat dejected. At this moment, Meng Hongchen suddenly looked at Lin Dong, who was frowning beside her, and muttered:
"Lin Dong, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to see if you were a normal person. But you didn't react at all."
Lin Dong was speechless, but seeing her sincere eyes, he still nodded coldly: "Don't let it happen again."
Meng Hongchen could tell that Lin Dong disliked being schemed against, so she nodded awkwardly and said seriously:
"I know I was wrong, and it won't happen again."
Xiao Hongchen looked at Meng Hongchen with some surprise. It was the first time he had seen his rebellious younger sister so well-behaved. He narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Lin Dong.
After a moment, he coughed lightly, looked at Lin Dong, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I was also at fault."
Lin Dong glanced at him in surprise, then calmly nodded: "It's nothing."
Then, as if remembering something, he sighed helplessly: "Also, I'm a normal person."
With these words, the somewhat somber atmosphere in the group immediately brightened up, and Jing Hongchen finally got his wish and successfully asked Lin Dong a few questions.
Flying at full speed, Lin Dong and his group finally arrived at Haiyue City in the southern border of Sun and Moon at sunset.
The three had just landed at the entrance of the city lord's mansion when a richly dressed middle-aged man jogged up to them, a very friendly smile on his face, and bowed to Jing Hongchen.
"Master of the Red Dust Hall, you've arrived! We've prepared a fine room and a banquet for you. Let me show you there."
Jing Hongchen nodded and said calmly, "Yes, let's go over there first."
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Are these three your two grandsons and granddaughter?"
"Hehe, Lord Mo, I also wish I had such a virtuous grandson, but unfortunately I am not so fortunate."
Jing Hongchen patted Lin Dong on the shoulder. Although it was a half-joking tone, the city lord Mo could still see the importance Jing Hongchen attached to Lin Dong, and his eyes immediately became more serious.
Given Jing Hongchen's status throughout the entire Sun and Moon Realm, the fact that he holds such a high opinion of this seemingly very young boy suggests that this boy's status is certainly not simple!
After the banquet, under the arrangement of City Lord Mo, Lin Dong and his group went to a quiet room. Jing Hongchen spoke first, "Has everything been investigated?"
Lord Mo nodded slightly and replied in a very respectful tone:
"Don't worry, our people have already located the soul beast and are just waiting for you to bring your grandson."
Jing Hongchen nodded slightly after hearing this: "Well done."
Looking at the scene before him, Lin Dong couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
People with connections certainly live a comfortable life; even their spirit rings are prepared by others for them to absorb. Speaking of which, Dai Huabin must be living the same kind of life.
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Lin Dong's eyes. "If I hadn't run here, I'd probably still be living the life of a fugitive."
Seemingly noticing that Lin Dong hadn't spoken for a while, Jing Hongchen took the initiative to speak to him:
"Hehe, don't worry, once you reach level 20, I will personally find you the most suitable soul ring of the ultimate age."
"No way, Lin Dong. I've already arranged a level 20 spirit ring for you. This old guy will never find a better spirit ring than the one I arranged."
Tianmeng's somewhat anxious voice came from his spiritual sea, and Lin Dong replied softly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Then, looking at Jing Hongchen, he smiled and said:
"Thank you, Dean, but it will be a while before I reach level 20. I also have my own ideas about this spirit ring, so I won't trouble you with anything else."
Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen was taken aback at first, then frowned and said:
"Lin Dong, although you have a good foundation, don't be willful for the sake of saving face at a time like this."
"Dean, you've misunderstood. I do have my own ideas. How could I possibly give up resources just to save face?"
Seeing Lin Dong's serious expression, Jing Hongchen could only sigh:
"Sigh, alright, don't refuse me because you think I'm an outsider."
Watching the two conversing so amiably, a deep sense of shock appeared in the eyes of the City Lord Mo, who inwardly sighed:
Did I hear that right? The Master of the Red Dust Hall is actually going to personally hunt for a Soul Ring for him? That's a powerful figure in the Sun Moon Empire!
The worst part is, this kid actually refused?!
What's more, the Red Dust Hall Master's face showed not a trace of anger; could he be some prince...?
Seeing the awe-inspiring gaze directed at him by City Lord Mo, Lin Dong calmly nodded, further solidifying City Lord Mo's conviction.
Indeed, with such an extraordinary bearing, who else could it be but a prince?!
