She put her hand to her mouth and whispered, "I feel like they have a lot in common."
Jing Hongchen smiled slightly: "That's good, then they can talk more, compete with each other, and improve each other."
In front of his granddaughter, Jing Hongchen acted very loving, but his thoughts were already obvious.
If there is a chance to bring Meng Hongchen and Huo Yuhao together, wouldn’t it be possible for the Hongchen family to win over the Northern Di family?
Of course, many things cannot be done too obviously, otherwise the purpose will be known to everyone.
Jing Hongchen wanted to ask something else when another figure rushed into the office. It was the Dean of Studies Lin Jiayi.
"Master, someone from the royal family has arrived. They are here to deal with the attack." Lin Jiayi said.
Jing Hongchen showed a trace of solemnity on his face, and said to Meng Hongchen beside him: "Meng, you go first, Grandpa still has a lot of important things to deal with."
"Yes, grandpa." Meng Hongchen left obediently.
Soon, another person walked into the room.
He saluted and said, "Master Hongchen, I am here on the orders of His Majesty to convey His Majesty's will to you."
"Hello, Mr. Bai." Jing Hongchen quickly stood up and returned the greeting respectfully, "Hongchen accepts the order."
The opponent's strength is not strong, but he represents the Emperor of Sun and Moon, so he dare not neglect him.
He and Mr. Bai in front of him had actually met before when he entered the palace. This time he came just to convey a message again.
Mr. Bai said: "Your Majesty is deeply saddened by the attack on Mingde Hall. The head of Hongchen Hall was negligent and has been severely punished. I hope he can repair Mingde Hall and make up for his mistake."
Jing Hongchen said: "Hongchen will definitely not let your majesty down."
Mr. Bai continued, "The financial and material resources required to repair Mingde Hall are huge. Your Majesty has specially allocated 80 million gold soul coins, 10 tons of cold iron, and 100 kilograms of rare metals for the repair. If there is still a need, you can continue to apply."
Jing Hongchen said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Mr. Bai nodded and added, "Mingde Hall was attacked. The students of Mingde Hall are currently lacking research tools and venues. His Majesty has specially approved that those with outstanding performance can apply to go to the research institute in the imperial city to conduct research."
Hearing this, Jing Hongchen was suddenly stunned.
Mr. Bai continued, "Seven days later, His Majesty will hold a banquet in the Imperial Palace to entertain the outstanding young students of Mingde Hall. The outstanding students under the age of 25 will be invited to the banquet, and the number of seats is limited to 150."
Jing Hongchen only felt a breath stuck in his throat. After being absent-minded for a few seconds, he lowered his voice and said, "Hongchen accepts the order."
"Okay, Master Hongchen, I have delivered the emperor's order, so I won't bother you anymore."
After saying this, Mr. Bai, who was delivering the imperial edict, strode away.
As soon as he left, Jing Hongchen could no longer bear it. His face turned gloomy and he looked like he wanted to kill someone.
Lin Jiayi asked carefully: "Master, what's wrong with you? His Majesty is hosting a banquet to entertain students, isn't this a good thing?"
"What a bullshit!" Jing Hongchen cursed viciously, "This is digging up the roots of my Mingde Hall, can't you see it?"
Mingdetang is nominally under the royal family, but in fact it has extremely high independence, especially the senior soul masters represented by Jing Hongchen. The royal family will not easily order them around.
They also enjoyed extremely high treatment in Mingde Hall, so they did not need to get too close to the royal family.
But it’s different for the young students.
Jing Hongchen’s expression became increasingly ugly.
After thinking for a long time, he said word by word: "This is definitely not what Your Majesty intended."
Lin Jiayi asked doubtfully: "Master, what do you mean...?"
"This must be the intention of some prince." Jing Hongchen affirmed, "We are all subjects of His Majesty, there is no need for him to do this. This must be a prince who wants to take this opportunity to win over the young students of Mingde Hall."
"Then Hall Master, how do you plan to deal with it?" Lin Jiayi asked.
Jing Hongchen heaved a sigh of relief: "Let them go. Your Majesty's order cannot be disobeyed. However..."
"Whoever stands on the wrong side will bear the consequences when the time comes."
……
A few days later.
Tianhun Empire, Noumenon Sect.
After continuous flights, a group of powerful members of the Body Sect finally flew back from the Sun-Moon Empire to the natural chasm where the sect was located.
Du Bu Si’s face looked very unhappy.
This plan to snatch the embryo of a hundred thousand year soul beast failed completely. Not only did they end up empty-handed, but many disciples were also killed or injured.
What hurt Du Bu Si the most was that Huo Yuhao appeared there on his own initiative, and then, he was gone.
With his original martial soul and the ultimate ice attribute, if he can reach the silver level in his second awakening in the future, and then evolve to the gold level when he breaks through the Titled Douluo, he will definitely be able to inherit the seed of his original body.
When he thought of this, Du Bu Si felt annoyed.
I should have thought of this at the beginning and told Huo Yuhao that the 100,000-year soul beast embryo was for him to snatch. If Long Aotian had been around for a while, he would definitely not have found ways to steal it himself.
This brat is also a mute. Doesn’t he know how to speak to me?
You deserve to die!
And that old bastard Long Xiaoyao, you just wait for me too.
Du Bu Si wandered around the sect, cursing loudly, and his anger frightened the other disciples.
Finally, a disciple who stayed in the main sect and did not participate in this operation spoke carefully: "Report to the sect master, someone wants to join the sect."
"What?" Du Bu Si was stunned. "Take me to have a look."
An hour later.
Among the mountains, in the deep blue icy lake, a tiny figure jumped out of the lake and sat down on the shore.
It was a girl with long blue hair.
She had just gone through the entry test of the Body Sect and swam back to the surface from an icy lake that was hundreds of meters deep.
After enduring strong water pressure and extreme cold, she did not seem to feel the slightest discomfort. Her expression was calm, and she slowly combed her long hair that was soaked by icy water with her hands.
Her right hand was covered with a layer of golden scales.
Du Bu Si landed beside her and said in disbelief, "As a girl, you shouldn't be given such a demanding test. Even though you are a Soul King, I didn't expect you to pass it so easily."
The blue-haired girl said with some disdain: "Nothing more than that."
Her breath and soul power fluctuations were unusually stable, as if this so-called test was not worth mentioning in her eyes.
"And you actually took the initiative to request the highest difficulty. Aotian may not perform better than you. Aren't you afraid of death?"
The blue-haired girl said calmly: "If my life is really in danger, a very powerful guy will suddenly appear to save me and beat you up. And..."
"If he can do it, I can definitely do it better."
The "he" the girl was referring to did not seem to be Long Aotian, but someone else.
"There are no more than five people in the entire continent who can beat me up." Du Bu Si snorted.
The blue-haired girl glanced at him and said, "I think it's much more than that."
"Okay, I like your girl's temper." Du Bu Si laughed heartily, "Although you are not the original martial spirit, I will allow you to join the sect."
The Body Sect is a huge power concept, not only referring to the body martial soul masters such as Du Bu Si, but also some other affiliated sects and organizations, so there will also be some other martial soul masters in the Body Sect, such as Mu Xue and Mo Yunfei beside Vina.
"Golden dragon." Du Bu Si looked at the scales in the girl's hand and murmured, "I didn't expect it to be such a top-level beast martial spirit. It seems that my Body Sect has picked up a treasure."
The blue-haired girl combed her hair and draped it behind her: "Maybe in the future, when people mention the Body Sect, they will think of the golden dragon instead of the body spirit."
Du Bu Si said casually: "If what you said is true, it would probably be ten thousand years too early."
Du Bu Si seemed very satisfied with the blue-haired girl in front of him. He sensed a familiar aura from her.
He asked, "Tell me, who are you looking for to join my Benti Sect?"
"Huo Yuhao." The blue-haired girl answered decisively.
Du Bushi didn't expect the blue-haired girl to say this name, and his mood, which had improved a little, fell again.
"died."
He said angrily: "That bastard is dead. Not even a scrap is left."
"died?"
The blue-haired girl was stunned, raised her right hand and touched the middle of her forehead, and said with certainty: "He won't die."
"What?" Du Bu Si was stunned.
"If he died, I would know it immediately." The blue-haired girl looked up at Du Bu Si, "So he must not be dead yet."
Du Bu Si was stunned when he looked at the blue-haired girl's face.
The blue-haired girl in front of him seemed to look somewhat similar to Huo Yuhao, and the tones of their voices were also somewhat similar.
"What's your name?"
The blue-haired girl stood up and said calmly:
"Huo Qiuer."
Chapter 265: Banquet (4k)
Sixth grade teaching building, third laboratory.
Xuan Ziwen was fiddling with the main part of a soul guide with a serious and cautious look on his face, while Juzi, Keke and Zimu were helping them.
The four of them were extremely focused. After installing the soul guides in their hands, they began the initial debugging.
This is the prototype of a sixth-level soul guide machine tool, which is capable of automatically engraving the core array of a second-level soul guide device.
Compared to the one designed by Huo Yuhao himself, this soul guide machine tool was obviously much more optimized in shape and looked more beautiful. The arrangement of the position of the carving knife was also more reasonable, with a downward design.
Xuan Ziwen stretched out his hand and pressed on the soul guide machine, and a stream of pure soul power was slowly input into it. Orange and the other two couldn't help but hold their breath, watching nervously and expectantly.
The soul-guided machine tool gained power and began to operate slowly.
The sharp carving knife slowly slid across a small metal ball, and the complex magic arrays intersected with each other, showing a unique geometric beauty.
The soul-guided machine tool improved by Xuan Ziwen does not make much noise when it is in operation, with only the slight cutting sound when the engraving knife touches the metal.
In less than ten minutes, the entire soul guide machine tool was completed. Xuan Ziwen signaled with his eyes to the side, and Ju Zi couldn't wait to take down the engraved core array. After observing it for a while, he said happily: "It succeeded, Teacher Xuan, it is really the core array of the second-level soul guide device."
