Chapter 477 Hey! Don't steal my Mud Sauce!
He didn't know how long he had been lost in thought until he was awakened by a knock on the door.
After most of the students left, he moved to Fan Yu's residence, where Elder Xuan was also present, so Huo Yuhao could cultivate with peace of mind.
Huo Yuhao stood up, glanced at the sleeping giant skull perched on his shoulder, and couldn't help but flick his finger on the skull's head.
"Heh!" The big-headed skull suddenly woke up, the eerie green flames in its eye sockets transforming into inverted triangles, and its short arms waving incessantly, indicating that it was very angry.
"You like sleeping so much? Go back to sleep." Huo Yuhao stretched out a finger and pressed it against the big skull.
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao tell him to return to the Land of the Dead, the big-headed skeleton deflated, slumping weakly onto Huo Yuhao's shoulder and letting out a mournful "Hah."
"Alright, stop playing the victim." A gray flame appeared at Huo Yuhao's fingertip, quickly forming a palm-sized magic circle that enveloped the giant skull.
The magic circle dissipated, and the giant skull returned to the Land of the Dead.
Huo Yuhao walked to the door and opened it.
Fan Yu stood outside the door and saw Huo Yuhao, saying, "Yuhao, the Master of the Red Dust Hall wants to see you. He's already downstairs. Go and see him first. Elder Xuan is also downstairs."
"Elder Xuan is here too? Shouldn't Jing Hongchen have turned around and left?" Huo Yuhao asked in confusion.
Jing Hongchen was extremely afraid of Elder Xuan. He would turn around and leave whenever he saw him. After all, seeing Elder Xuan reminded Jing Hongchen of the eight soul tools he had "given" to Shrek Academy, as well as Elder Xuan's oily fists.
Fan Yu shook his head helplessly; that was what he had thought at first too.
However, Elder Xuan had already wandered around downstairs twice, but Jing Hongchen still hadn't left, which clearly meant he wanted to see Huo Yuhao.
Fortunately, Jing Hongchen did not have any objections to the Shrek Academy exchange team. His attitude remained unchanged from the beginning, and he did not secretly target the Shrek Academy exchange team. On the contrary, he helped Huo Yuhao with many research tasks and answered many questions from Shrek Academy students.
It can be confirmed that Jing Hongchen does not harbor much malice towards Shrek Academy for the time being, at least not like Xu Tianran.
Of course, it's also possible that Fan Yu is one of Jing Hongchen's grandchildren or an exchange student.
Huo Yuhao nodded, reached for the coat hanging on the coat rack by the door, put it on, and followed Fan Yu downstairs.
In the living room on the first floor, Jing Hongchen was sitting calmly on the sofa, holding a cup of fragrant tea.
The sofa faces the window, a large semi-floor-to-ceiling window, offering a view of the courtyard outside.
Every three minutes, Jing Hongchen could see the leisurely strolling Elder Xuan through the window.
Whenever Elder Xuan appeared outside the window, Jing Hongchen's hand holding the teacup would tremble slightly.
Elder Xuan didn't even glance at Jing Hongchen. That fat old man was very cunning, and he didn't like cunning guys.
However, Huo Yuhao now has news of Ye Nanxiao and knows that Ye Nanxiao is safe and sound, but it is a pity that he cannot show up and come back.
The weight on Elder Xuan's heart was finally lifted. Heaven knows how hard he had tried to suppress his temper during this time, facing Xu Tianran's almost undisguised targeting.
If Elder Xuan were to lose his temper, no matter how prosperous Mingdu was, it wouldn't be enough for the Taotie Divine Ox to wreak havoc.
"Master Hongchen, how have you been lately? It's been a while since we last met. I wonder what brings you here today?" Huo Yuhao bowed to Jing Hongchen and asked as he sat down on the single sofa next to him.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, Jing Hongchen finally put down her teacup and relaxed her stiff hands.
The pressure from Elder Xuan was immense.
"Hehehe, Yuhao, it hasn't been that long since we last met, has it? It's only been a little over a week. Why are you a bit estranged?" Jinghong said with a smile.
Seeing Jing Hongchen's grinning face, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but shiver.
What strange idea is this fat guy up to?
"Ahem, Master Hongchen, why don't you speak frankly?" Huo Yuhao coughed a few times, his fist clenched to his lips.
"If the hall master has something to ask of us, we should hurry up, since I will be leaving the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy in a few days."
Jing Hongchen put down his teacup and smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "I do have something to discuss, but it's not me. It's my grandson who wants to see you."
"See me?" Huo Yuhao asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, Meng'er and Xiao'er have returned and want to see you," Jing Hongchen said.
After expressing his loyalty, Xu Tianran allowed Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen to return to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy in this batch of returning members.
Elder Xuan and Fan Yu didn't react much to this. They would only stay for a couple more days. Moreover, Elder Song of the Sea God Pavilion had already taken the time to arrive in Maple Leaf City. With the speed of Elder Song's Azure Shadow Divine Eagle, it would only take him an hour to reach Mingdu.
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment. He was somewhat competitive with Xiao Hongchen, but he was basically unaware of Meng Hongchen. He figured that Xiao Hongchen probably wanted to find him.
Back in Maple Leaf City, Xiao Hongchen wanted to have a match with him after the exchange ended.
"Okay," Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement.
He also wanted to see just how powerful Xiao Hongchen was now.
I heard that Xiao Hongchen was too arrogant at Shrek Academy and kept challenging others, so he was eventually taught a lesson. He was then given a few pointers by Ye Nanxiao's clone, and his strength improved rapidly afterward.
Hmph, it's just that I was lucky enough to get a few pointers from Ni-chan. I've been taught by Ni-chan since I was a child!
Jing Hongchen greeted Fan Yu and Elder Xuan with a smile and led the way.
Huo Yuhao also greeted Elder Xuan, and after Elder Xuan secretly followed, he left with Jing Hongchen.
Xinmingdetang.
The rebuilt Mingde Hall is more spacious and more heavily guarded than before.
Upon seeing Jing Hongchen, the guards all stood up and bowed.
A barely perceptible ray of light fell upon Jing Hongchen, and then the doors of Mingde Hall opened silently and automatically.
Huo Yuhao quietly followed behind Jing Hongchen, his spiritual power spreading out.
The newly built Mingde Hall looks much upgraded from the previous one. Just by casually scanning it with my spiritual power, I could sense no less than ten mechanisms.
Jing Hongchen led Huo Yuhao into an elevator. A few seconds later, the elevator doors opened, revealing a very spacious training ground.
Two figures were standing in front of the moving target mechanism. The speed at which the moving mechanism appeared was set to the highest level, so fast that it was imperceptible to the naked eye. Only black shadows could be seen flashing by in the air.
Then, flashes of light rapidly shattered all the moving targets in the air.
A golden light shone in Huo Yuhao's eyes, revealing that they were tiny energy blasts.
To Huo Yuhao's surprise, Xiao Hongchen did not have any soul tools, but two soul beams were floating around him.
"What, it's very similar to Muddy's floating cannon plan?" Huo Yuhao frowned almost imperceptibly.
Ye Nanxiao had looked at all the blueprints in the armory, including the page introducing the floating cannons.
Xiao Hongchen stopped attacking, and Meng Hongchen slowly said, "Ninety out of a hundred shots hit the mark."
"It's still far from good enough. The accuracy is not as good as the Seven Kills given by Ye Nanxiao." Xiao Hongchen frowned, then placed his hands on the two floating cannons beside him.
Huo Yuhao saw that Xiao Hongchen's hands, like liquefied metal, absorbed the two floating cannons.
"Our guest has arrived." Meng Hongchen turned to Huo Yuhao and greeted him with a smile.
Jing Hongchen smiled and asked Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, what would you like to drink? I have some excellent high-mountain black tea."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Hall Master." Huo Yuhao nodded in acknowledgment.
"Elder Xuan, what would you like to drink?" Jing Hongchen asked the person behind him.
Behind him, Elder Xuan slowly walked in.
Xuan Lao waved the wine gourd in his hand at Jing Hongchen, then found a corner to sit down.
Xiao Hongchen crossed his arms, looked at Huo Yuhao, and laughed, "You've finally arrived!"
"Did you need something?" Huo Yuhao asked calmly.
"A fight? I'll show you my current level of strength!" Xiao Hongchen said confidently.
"Okay, but before that, I have a question for you," Huo Yuhao said.
Xiao Hongchen thought for a moment, then nodded. "Go ahead and ask."
"Where did the soul tool beside you come from?" Huo Yuhao asked directly.
"You mean floating cannons? Ye Nanxiao gave me one before, and I was very interested in it. What you just saw was a floating cannon that I imitated and developed myself, but the technology is far from perfect," Xiao Hongchen said truthfully.
Huo Yuhao walked up to Xiao Hongchen, and judging from Xiao Hongchen's expression, the other party was not lying.
"Why did you get Mud-chan's floating cannons?"
This is what puzzled Huo Yuhao the most. Every weapon in Ye Nanxiao's armory was extremely precious. Even if Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi wanted to take them out to play with, Ye Nanxiao would kick them out of the laboratory.
Qian Duoduo even went so far as to try to trick Ye Nanxiao out of his weapon design blueprints.
Huo Yuhao vaguely knew how important the armory was to Ye Nanxiao.
What kind of deal was that made Ye Nanxiao willing to give away the soul tools from his armory to Xiao Hongchen?
"Hmph, Huo Yuhao, you're asking this question? It seems you don't know your brother very well!" Meng Hongchen said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Huo Yuhao looked at Meng Hongchen.
"I have something Ye Nanxiao wants here, so a deal was made. It's that simple, don't you understand?" Meng Hongchen said, walking a few steps with her hands behind her back.
"Or are you just too anxious about Nanxiao's situation? Didn't you feel disappointed when you saw what Nanxiao gave you?"
"Does that mean you're not as important to Nan Xiao as we are?"
"What are you trying to say?" Huo Yuhao was somewhat angry. He naturally had the same soul tools as Ye Nanxiao, but Meng Hongchen's words clearly contained other meanings.
"Why don't you give Nanxiao to me?" Meng Hongchen said with a smile.
Xiao Hongchen was a little confused. Had he been abandoned by his own sister?
"Hmph! Wishful thinking!" Huo Yuhao snorted coldly.
Put aside the worldly affairs for now; someone's trying to steal my mud sauce!
This is unbearable!
