I'll give you everything you want

Chapter 45 I'll give you everything you want

"Hehe, that's not necessarily true, haha."

Looking at Meng Hongchen's smiling face, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but purse her lips:

"Dream, do you really enjoy undermining me?"

Meng Hongchen's expression was much calmer at this moment, and she said in a flat tone:

"I didn't. A lot happened at the academy while you were in seclusion. You won't be too happy to hear about it."

Xiao Hongchen scoffed dismissively after hearing this:

"Oh? Is that so? Tell me, I want to see what could affect this genius's mood."

Seeing his confident smile, a hint of smugness flashed in Meng Hongchen's eyes. She was increasingly looking forward to his expression later, and then her expression became slightly playful: "Let Rou Dunzi tell you."

Upon hearing the nickname Meng Hongchen gave him, Zhou Xinghao said with a wry smile, "Sister Meng, please give me some face and stop calling me that."

Seeing that she didn't react, he could only turn to look at Xiao Hongchen, who had a smug look on his face, and say:

"While you were in seclusion, Lin Dong was all the rage, Brother Xiao. He defeated Mika."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Hongchen reached out and pushed him, her expression instantly changing as she said:

"What did you say?! Impossible! How could that be? Mika definitely let him win."

He had originally planned to challenge the regular team members after emerging from seclusion, relying on his martial spirit. How did this guy beat him to it?

Seeing his face suddenly flush red, Meng Hongchen chuckled:

"I told you you wouldn't be happy to hear this, and look what happened, I was right."

Although Xiao Hongchen's face was flushed, she still gritted her teeth and stubbornly said:

"Impossible! How could someone be above me, Laughing at the Mortal World? Besides, he's so much younger than me! I don't believe it!"

Seeing that he seemed even more stubborn after his seclusion, Meng Hongchen immediately added:

"By the way, Zhou Xinghao didn't tell you that Lin Dong has twin martial souls, the Extreme Ice and a mutated eye martial soul."

Xiao Hongchen's already flushed face turned even redder in an instant, and he said in a high-pitched voice:

"Impossible! He hasn't mentioned this in so long. I don't believe anyone would be so low-key. He has this kind of ability and he didn't even tell me? That doesn't make sense!"

"I think you've overestimated your importance in his heart. He doesn't value you that much."

Meng Hongchen, seemingly enjoying the spectacle, added casually.

Xiao Hongchen glared at her after hearing this: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't care about my place in his heart at all. I don't believe what you're saying. I'll go ask him myself."

Without giving Meng Hongchen another chance to provoke him, he grabbed Zhou Xinghao and said, "Where is he? Take me there."

Zhou Xinghao realized that he seemed genuinely angry, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally tried to speak:

"Hey, Brother Xiao, I think you'd better not go. Right now, Professor Kong is trying to poach the student from the Dean."

Xiao Hongchen paused, his face instantly blank. After a long silence, he lowered his head like a swan that had lost its feathers and sighed.

"I'll be alone for a while, you guys go."

Seeing him deflated like a punctured balloon, Zhou Xinghao dared not utter another word. It seemed this incident had dealt him a significant blow. He then gave Meng Hongchen a wink and left.

Looking at his dejected appearance, Meng Hongchen was at a loss for what to do. This was the first time she had seen Xiao behave like this. It shouldn't be like this. How could this guy's confidence be so easily crushed?

Time passed slowly in the silence, and the long-standing atmosphere was broken by Xiao Hongchen's voice:

"Meng, do you remember when we were little, Grandpa took us to see that old Confucius?"

Meng Hongchen, who usually loved to provoke him, spoke in a slightly gentler tone:

"I don't remember very clearly."

"His assessment of me was that I had decent talent and room for improvement. I still remember those words. In the end, he actually came to compete with my grandfather for Lin Dong."

In that instant, I realized that what you said must be true; otherwise, given Confucius's vision and status, why would he personally come to snatch someone away?

Seeing the forced smile on Xiao Hongchen's face, Meng Hongchen, unusually, did not utter a word of rebuttal, but simply nodded obediently.

"I was hoping to shine in this competition and win over Professor Kong, but that guy beat me to it. I have to work even harder!"

Looking at Xiao Hongchen, whose eyes had regained their confidence, Meng Hongchen chuckled softly:

"It will be very difficult to catch up with him."

Xiao Hongchen's aura did not diminish but rather increased, and he said in a passionate tone:

"So what if it's difficult? I, Xiao Hongchen, am a genius that appears once in a thousand years. How could I be defeated so easily?"

Seeing that he had finally returned to normal, Meng Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not notice the fleeting loneliness in his eyes when she looked down.

Clearly, what just happened has had a greater impact on him than he appears to be.

Lin Dong had forcibly torn a hole in his pride, and only he himself knew how long it would take to heal.

Outside the college villa area.

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

"Lin Dong, are you really sure you want to stay at Mingde Hall and not come to the palace with me?"

Lin Dong nodded calmly: "Yes, Elder Kong, I feel that I am more suited to stay in the academy. Thank you for your kind offer."

Seeing his insistence, Kong Deming could only sigh and glare fiercely at Jing Hongchen, saying:

"It seems you were right. There are less than six months left until the competition. I hope to hear Lin Dong's name resound throughout the competition. Otherwise, I'll just have to take him by force."

Hearing Kong Deming's slightly admonishing tone, Jing Hongchen's face flashed with joy. He knew this was a sign of Kong Lao's concession, and immediately responded:

"Don't worry, Elder Kong. I will do my best to train this little guy for the next six months. He will definitely show amazing strength in the competition six months from now."

Hearing their conversation, Lin Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finding it somewhat amusing.

It's finally over. These two have been fighting over this for so long. If it weren't for their high status, they probably would have attracted a large number of onlookers.

They're already fighting over this low-end version of the Ice Emperor Martial Soul. I wonder how much of a reaction they'll have if they find out my true situation.

After the two reached a consensus, Elder Kong still looked at Lin Dong with a smile, unwilling to give up:

"Since you don't want to go, I won't force you. If you need anything, just ask him. If he won't give it to you, come to me, and I'll satisfy all your needs."

Lin Dong smiled and nodded upon hearing this: "Thank you, Elder Kong."

He hadn't expected that the old man wouldn't be angry at all after being rejected, and would even go to such lengths, which made him feel a little better about him.

Seeing Kong Deming fly away, Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Dong with a smile on his face:

"Good lad, I knew you had a conscience, huh? I'm probably the first person to make Master Kong leave empty-handed."

Seeing Lin Dong's suppressed laughter, she realized she had been a bit out of line and patted Lin Dong's shoulder with one hand:

"Don't worry, from now on, whatever you want, I'll give you!"
