Chapter 135: Huo Yutong: That's Great
Meng Hongchen had a very fulfilling night tonight.
In the first half of the night, she upgraded her flying soul guide. In the second half, she practiced under the guidance of Lin Qinghan.
As for Huo Yutong, who was with her earlier, she went back after watching Meng Hongchen make soul guides.
"Qinghan, do you think we were too fast?"
In the early morning, Meng Hongchen snuggled into Lin Qinghan's arms. Only now did she realize how bold she had been last night. She buried her face against his chest and didn't dare to look up.
"Don't worry. You're not the fastest."
Lin Qinghan patted her shoulder. He could clearly feel that her cheeks were burning hot—like she had a fever over 40 degrees.
He had thought her courage would remain like last night's, but now her shy performance wasn't quite as bold as Ye Guyi's.
"Huh? There's someone even faster? Who was it?"
Meng Hongchen perked up. Hearing someone was bolder than her piqued her curiosity, and she looked at Lin Qinghan eagerly.
"I can't tell you. If she finds out I said anything, she'll be mad at me."
Lin Qinghan rubbed her head. Experiencing white hair for the first time, he thought the feel was just slightly behind Huo Yutong's.
"Then let me guess. Yutong's impossible—she probably hasn't made any progress yet. And since you said she'd get angry if you told, it must be someone here... It can only be Ye Guyi!"
Meng Hongchen smacked her lips in satisfaction, confident in her deduction.
"Nope, stop guessing. We should get up now."
Lin Qinghan wouldn't confirm anything. Although Ye Guyi could be open with him in private, she still presented a cold and noble front to others—especially Huo Yutong. If that image ever broke, she'd definitely be upset.
"I think I guessed right. What a contrast... such a serious person being the fastest."
Meng Hongchen wasn't uncomfortable now. As a Soul Emperor with a top martial soul and Lin Qinghan's treatment, she actually felt even better than before. She even felt she could craft ten more level 6 soul guides!
"Brother Qinghan, Sister Meng! It's the weekend, but you can't stay in bed all day. I've made breakfast!"
Just as Meng Hongchen was still clinging to Lin Qinghan, not wanting to get up, Huo Yutong's voice came from outside the door.
"Ah! Xiao Yutong, why are you here?! Qinghan and I will be out soon!"
Meng Hongchen was startled. She remembered they hadn't locked the door last night since it was just the two of them. In a panic, she quickly grabbed her clothes and dressed. In her rush, she even forgot a few pieces, making her extra flustered.
"Yutong, we'll be out soon. Go wait at the table."
Lin Qinghan chuckled, seeing how frantic she was, and used his spiritual power to help calm her down.
Three minutes later, Lin Qinghan and Meng Hongchen sat at the dining table.
"It seems Sister Meng slept well last night."
"Little Yutong, I'm sorry… I didn't know things would go this far with Qinghan last night. You were clearly…"
Meng Hongchen looked at Huo Yutong's smiling face and suddenly felt a bit guilty.
"Sister Meng, it's fine. I'm used to it."
Huo Yutong shook her head. She wasn't lying. When she lived with Lin Qinghan at Shrek Academy, this kind of thing happened often.
By now, only she and Xiaoxiao hadn't taken that step with Lin Qinghan, right?
She even once caught Wang Dong'er one morning leaning against the wall as she left Lin Qinghan's bedroom.
Thinking about it, Huo Yutong suddenly felt a little pitiful. Not only had Brother Qinghan gained many girlfriends, but he hadn't shown any favoritism toward her.
But this thought passed quickly. Lin Qinghan treated her very well, and because of their martial soul fusion skill, they spent more time together than anyone else.
Still, she admired Meng Hongchen's courage. Her and Xiaoxiao's hesitation wasn't just due to age or body shape. Wang Dong'er hadn't been held back by that. Meng Hongchen, too, had made a bold move and succeeded.
"If you don't eat now, it'll get cold. Let's eat."
---
Three days later, because Lin Qinghan and Meng Hongchen had been so close recently—and Meng Hongchen was a prominent student—rumors spread quickly.
Eventually, word reached Dean Jing Hongchen.
Although Jing Hongchen had hoped to match his granddaughter with Lin Qinghan, he hadn't expected the relationship to progress this quickly, especially without any effort on his part.
Through observing Lin Qinghan, Jing Hongchen was sure of one thing: he was a playboy.
Ye Guyi and Huo Yutong, who came with Shrek, were both very close to him. Jing Hongchen had to take this seriously.
"So, you've confirmed your relationship with Lin Qinghan?"
Jing Hongchen asked calmly.
"Yes, Grandpa. Just wait—you'll have a peerless genius son-in-law soon."
Meng Hongchen didn't notice the strange look on her grandfather's face. She happily started praising Lin Qinghan, calling him the continent's top genius, handsome, kind, and… good stamina.
"Enough. If that's what you want, I won't stop you. Just don't regret it."
Seeing her getting carried away, Jing Hongchen interrupted her.
"Really? Thank you, Grandpa! I'll bring him to meet you soon."
She was surprised he didn't object. Given Lin Qinghan's "harem" reputation in the academy, she expected more resistance.
"But remember, no matter what, this is always your home. If you're ever wronged, come to Grandpa—I'll teach Lin Qinghan a lesson."
"No need. Qinghan treats me very well, and…"
"And what? Forget it. Bring Lin Qinghan to see me later."
"Nothing. Okay, Grandpa, I'll go now. Enjoy your tea."
Meng Hongchen poured him a cup from the full pot on the table.
But as she looked at him, there was something odd in her eyes—something Jing Hongchen didn't notice.
Now that Meng Hongchen understood more of Lin Qinghan's true strength, she realized that if her grandfather ever tried to punish him, he might be the one to suffer instead.
