"Huh? Haha, this bone age tester shows that he seems to be less than eleven years old, and he is already level thirty-five, not worse than you were back then."
"This... doesn't mean anything. It can only mean that his training speed has the potential to catch up with me. Don't forget that I also practiced soul guidance. I am the youngest fourth-level soul guide in the history of the empire!"
"Really? I remember you almost failed the theory test last year? Who asked me to borrow my notes and study hard in the library two weeks before the test?"
"Dream... This is an accident..."
"Hehe, you have encountered too many accidents. A few days ago, when you were practicing, you insisted on trying to control the sixth-level soul guide. As a result, you failed to control your martial soul and almost got blown up..."
"Meng, why do you have such a good memory..."
In the brightly lit high-grade account office, Xu Tianxi, who had cried himself to death after taking three pills, woke up. Then he saw the white-haired brother and sister from the daytime, scanning him back and forth with a soul guide detector.
However, the brother and sister do not seem to be very interested in themselves. They are more interested in bickering.
It was obvious to the naked eye that the one with a sad face was the elder brother. As expected, he was the genius three-legged golden toad soul master in the original novel, Xiao Hongchen.
Not to mention, it was quite interesting to see this guy's face turning blue and white due to choking. It was better than the Spring Festival Gala skits in my previous life.
However, the Hongchen brothers and sisters were, after all, soul masters of the fourth-ring soul sect cultivation level. They soon discovered that their daily life was heard by an outsider who had woken up at some unknown time, and their faces immediately turned strange.
Xiao Hongchen approached Xu Tianxi with a face full of grief and indignation, made a vicious expression, lowered his voice, and asked tremblingly: "Did you hear what we said just now?"
Xu Tianxi nodded honestly, "I heard a little bit, don't worry, it's not much."
Xiao Hongchen/Meng Hongchen: We didn't say much in total, so doesn't that mean you've heard almost everything?
"Ahh… my image…"
Xiao Hongchen looked mad, and finally looked at Xu Tianxi in despair: "I'll give you a price, and you must never tell anyone about it, okay?"
Xu Tianxi stared silently at the smiling young man in front of him, whose face was full of the expression "I am stupid, rich, and easy to cheat", and said speechlessly: "...Actually, you can rest assured. If you don't emphasize it, I will forget it soon."
"Also, although I am a refugee, I still have some money with me. It should be no problem for me to live in Mingdu for a few years. I can also make soul guides."
I wouldn't be sleepy if you said you only had this little money.
Xiao Hongchen, who was eager to restore his tall image, perked up, straightened his appearance, crossed his arms, and said confidently: "Xu, Xu Tianxi, right? This is something you don't know. Not only am I invincible among my peers, but I am also one of the few masters in the world in terms of financial resources. Except for some people in the royal family, no one in the Sun and Moon Empire dares to bid against me in the auction!"
As expected, Xu Tianxi showed a surprised expression on his face, "You are Xiao Hongchen? The descendant of the Hongchen family, the most powerful family in the Sun Moon Empire, and the grandson of Dean Jing Hongchen?"
"Yes! It's me! The first genius of the Sun-Moon Empire in a thousand years! The youngest four-ring soul master and fourth-level soul mentor record holder in the Sun-Moon Empire! It's Xiao Hongchen..."
"This is the recommendation letter my great uncle wrote to your grandfather. If it's convenient, please bring it to your grandfather for me. My great uncle said that Dean Jing Hongchen has done a lot of business with him in recent years."
Xu Tianxi took out the letter of recommendation that Xiao Changfeng had given him and raised it in front of Xiao Hongchen, with a complicated expression on his face.
"What did you say? This is a letter of recommendation for our grandfather?"
Xu Tianxi's interruption of the spell was very effective, and it directly blocked the remaining boasting of Xiao Hongchen in his throat. Meng Hongchen, who was watching the fun nearby, pushed Xiao Hongchen away, took the letter and examined it, with an increasingly surprised look on his face.
Xu Tianxi's expression was a little strange. "If the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy doesn't have a second Dean Jing Hongchen, then it should be given to him."
It was only when Xiao Changfeng handed him the letter of recommendation that he found out that the bad guy who was betraying the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and reselling soul guide devices was none other than the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Jing Hongchen!
I don't know how high a price the master and the great uncle offered to hook up with Jing Hongchen. He originally thought that they had hooked up with Xu Guozhong, the greedy prince of the Xu family in the Sun and Moon Empire.
"Wait a minute, you just said that Grandpa and your master uncle were doing business? What kind of business?"
Xiao Hongchen asked, tilting his head, with a curious expression on his face.
Meng Hongchen also looked at him expectantly, with the corners of his mouth raised in a beautiful arc.
I came here and learned my grandfather's little secret? It's really worth it.
"It's the business of some soul guides. We have soul guides from level one to level five. In addition, my master uncle also bought two level seven soul guides, one for focusing light and the other for stargazing. But I don't know if these are from your grandfather."
Xu Tianxi said calmly, and then added: "By the way, he said that every time he purchases goods, he will leave some gifts, which may be elixirs or marine soul beast supplements. Do you know about this?"
Xiao Hongchen's voice became very strange, "More than just knowing..."
Meng Hongchen continued, "We and grandpa ate all those elixirs and sea soul beast supplements..."
Xu Tianxi: "…"
You guys are so honest.
After a few seconds of strange silence, Xiao Hongchen's shouting broke through the sky.
"So you are the Douluo Three Kingdoms genius who came to challenge Grandpa!"
Lin Jiayi's worried voice soon came from outside the tent, "What's wrong, Xiao Hongchen? Is there something wrong?"
"No! We can't let them know that grandpa is a traitor. Stop them!" The two siblings were in sync at this moment.
Xiao Hongchen rushed outside, pulled open the curtain, and gave what he thought was a friendly smile to the suspicious Lin Jiayi, Xu Sheng, and the soldiers, and said hurriedly, "It's okay, it's okay. My brother and I had a very happy chat with little brother Xu Tianxi. We felt like old friends the moment we met!"
Meng Hongchen followed behind and poked his head out, nodding repeatedly: "Xiao is right, little brother Xu is very talented, we want to introduce him to grandpa, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes. A few days ago, my grandfather... was dreaming while sleeping! He dreamed that soon a genius from the Three Kingdoms would overcome numerous obstacles and come to the Sun-Moon Empire to become his disciple. Now that I think about it, it should be Brother Xu Tianxi."
Xu Sheng blinked his confused tiger eyes, "But what did I hear you say just now... Declaration of war?"
"Well..."
The Hongchen siblings' brains short-circuited for a moment, and they were unable to find the most appropriate answer.
"This is because I am young and full of energy. I heard that Young Master Xiao Hongchen is a rare genius that has not appeared in a thousand years in the Sun-Moon Empire. I became determined and want to catch up with him in the future!
I didn't expect that Dean Jing Hongchen, who has such high spiritual power, could even dream about this in his dream."
Xu Tianxi's face appeared from the other side of the curtain. He was full of excitement and fighting spirit. He winked at Xiao Hongchen and said, "How about it, Mr. Xiao? Will you accept it for the honor?"
The corners of Xiao Hongchen's mouth, which had been stiff from smiling, immediately relaxed. He gave Xu Tianxi a thumbs up in his heart and pretended to think about it.
Meng Hongchen's eyes twitched, and he quietly pinched Xiao Hongchen's waist, "It's already this time and you're still pretending!"
"Isn't this to make it look realistic? Ouch, sister, be gentle!"
Xiao Hongchen, who wanted to cry but had no tears, felt so painful that his mouth twitched, but he couldn't show it. He could only pull his mouth corners and pretend to be cool to express his agreement:
"Okay! I, Xiao Hongchen, accept your challenge!"
"Everyone, I suddenly have some realizations, and I want to meditate for a while. Please don't disturb me easily, or I will go back and tell Grandpa."
After saying that, Xiao Hongchen retreated quickly with a twitch of his mouth. Meng Hongchen and Xu Tianxi smiled awkwardly at everyone, "I will go and help Young Master Xiao/Brother to protect the law."
The two of them retreated back into the big tent, leaving Xu Sheng, Lin Jiayi and others in disarray in the wind.
"Hey Director Lin...what's going on?"
The corners of Xu Sheng's eyes twitched, and he looked at Lin Jiayi, whose expression was also out of control, in confusion.
It's been less than three minutes since the Hongchen siblings entered, and the three of them have gotten along so well? Xu Tianxi is pretty amazing.
Lin Jiayi spread his hands to show his incomprehension. "The situation here is no longer under our control. I will contact the dean now and let him make the decision."
Even though he and Xu Sheng are both eighth-level soul masters, the gap between them and Jing Hongchen is unreasonably huge. Lin Jiayi's job was given to him by that gentleman; the Hongchen siblings are the most outstanding geniuses in the Sun Moon Empire over the past thousand years, or even in history. They will surely become ninth-level soul masters in the future and have a bright future.
Xu Tianxi established a relationship with these two in a short period of time, and inexplicably became "Jing Hongchen's pending disciple". So when problems were found out about him, even if he was full of mysteries, he had to be treated as if there was no problem.
Xu Sheng nodded, and suddenly laughed while looking at the big tent. "If he can really become the direct disciple of the Red Dust Hall Master, then I won't have anything to worry about. Elder Kong and his friends will also be pleased if they are still alive."
Lin Jiayi nodded. Xu Tianxi dared to challenge Xiao Hongchen, and Xiao Hongchen was willing to accept. He must have an amazing talent. However, Xiao Hongchen's martial soul was a three-legged golden toad, which had the blood of a divine beast. Xu Tianxi's martial soul...
"By the way, Captain Xu, we seem to have forgotten something important."
"What is it?"
"Until now, we don't even know what Xu Tianxi's martial spirit is..." Lin Jiayi covered his face and spoke, feeling quite ashamed.
The Dean of Studies of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy actually ignored this most basic common sense. If he reported this to Jing Hongchen, the dean would definitely scold him.
"Um... this is a big question. How about you message the Hongchen brothers and sisters to ask them later?"
"Good idea."
