Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 503 Brother, Friend and Sister Gong
Hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, Jing Hongchen's expression darkened and he said, "Alas! I'm afraid your great grandfather has noticed my actions. I can hide my actions from Xu Tianran and others, but it's difficult to hide them from your great master! Xu Tianran sent me to the Tianhun Empire, and I'm afraid he also got your great master's approval, otherwise he wouldn't dare to deal with me so blatantly. Your great master did this to punish me! What can I say? I can only come."

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were shocked. Did Grand Master know that they were secretly mobilizing soul guides to the Xingluo Empire?

"Grandpa, then our connection with my brother-in-law will be exposed!"

Xiao Hongchen was no longer angry now, but only felt panic in his heart. He grew up listening to the legends about the Grand Master, and he both respected and feared the Grand Master.

Jing Hongchen shook his head and said, "No, your Grand Master may have just noticed that I have a connection with a certain force in the Xingluo Empire and mobilized soul guides there. He doesn't know who I have a connection with, nor does he know what we are going to do. This kind of thing is not a serious matter in the past. Otherwise, where do you think the original Douluo Three Kingdoms got so many high-level soul guides from my Sun Moon Empire, and how did they train eighth-level soul guides? It's just that it wasn't us who did this before, but other family forces."

"But the situation is different now. The Sun Moon Empire has already gone to war with the three former Douluo Kingdoms. If we hadn't sent soul masters there before the war, it wouldn't just be a warning. Your Grand Master might have personally come out to clean up the mess. Now Xu Tianran doesn't know about this, which means your Grand Master still has feelings for us and gave our Hongchen Family a way out. Otherwise, with Xu Tianran's character, we wouldn't have come to Tiandou City for so long."

Meng Hongchen asked cautiously: "Grandpa, besides Grandpa Taishi, does anyone else know about this? Isn't our situation very bad now?"

Jing Hongchen smiled and said, "I was taught by your Grandpa Taishi. He knows the power in my hands very well, so he noticed the clues at the first time. As for others, ha! Even Xu Tianran doesn't know how much power my subordinates have. As long as your Grandpa Taishi doesn't pursue it, then others will never know. And since he has already punished me, he won't bring this matter up again."

At this moment, a needle-shaped soul guide on Jing Hongchen's chest flashed a ray of light. Jing Hongchen turned his head sharply and looked towards the palace gate, and shouted coldly: "Who!?"

Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen also reacted and came to Jing Hongchen in an instant. The person who could sneak into the palace at this time and come to this palace was obviously not someone they could deal with. The smartest thing to do was to hide beside Jing Hongchen so as not to be held back.

"As expected of you, the Lord of Hongchen Hall, you can actually find me."

Ji Lin's figure instantly appeared in the palace with a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that Jing Hongchen would actually find him. Although he had been eavesdropping in the corner for a while, even so, Jing Hongchen still found him.

Ji Lin looked at the needle-shaped soul guide on Jing Hongchen's chest thoughtfully.

"Ji Lin!"

"Jilin?"

Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen exclaimed at the same time, one voice filled with surprise and the other with confusion.

Ji Lin looked at Meng Hongchen with a smile and said gently, "Long time no see, Meng, did you miss me?"

Meng Hongchen nodded in surprise. If she hadn't been concerned about Jing Hongchen's presence, she would have probably thrown herself into Ji Lin's arms.

"Ji Lin boy, what are you doing here?"

Jing Hongchen frowned slightly. He had activated the soundproof soul guide and the early warning soul guide, otherwise he would not dare to discuss those sensitive topics with Xiao Hongchen openly in this hall.

He didn't know whether Ji Lin had heard their conversation just now, but he was sure that Ji Lin must have been there for some time.

Ji Lin smiled faintly and said, "Master Hongchen, I heard what you just said. It seems that your situation is not very good! To be honest, it is me who has implicated you."

Jing Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen were startled. They really heard it. Jing Hongchen's eyebrows jumped. It seemed that he was still too dependent on his soul guide. Next time, he must not be careless just because he had the early warning soul guide and the soundproof soul guide. If those words were heard by others, the situation of their Hongchen family would be even more difficult. Fortunately, this person was Ji Lin, not someone else.

"Don't worry, Master Hongchen, Brother Xiao, my mental power is different from that of ordinary people. Apart from me, the only one who can eavesdrop on your conversation is probably a Limit Douluo, and a Limit Douluo doesn't have the time to eavesdrop."

Ji Lin saw the two's worries and smiled to comfort them. Jing Hongchen sat in the main seat of the hall and glanced at Meng Hongchen. They had just arrived in Tiandou City not long ago, and Ji Lin came to the door. It was obvious who leaked the news.

Jing Hongchen smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was true that girls cannot be kept when they grow up. The only thing that made him feel relieved was that his granddaughter, who was always so cunning, had good taste and found a very reliable man.

"Let's talk business. Tiandou City is not a place for you to stay for long."

Jing Hongchen shook the wine in his hand, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Ji Lin nodded and said, "I came here this time to bring Brother Meng and Brother Xiao to Xingluo City. The Molten Knight Armor has been successfully developed. Now the only problem left is the energy source."

Ji Lin told Jing Hongchen about the progress and difficulties of the Molten Knight Armor. It was with the Molten Knight Armor that he convinced Jing Hongchen in the beginning. As one of the top three soul engineers in the Sun-Moon Empire, Jing Hongchen knew very well what an amazing force the Molten Knight Armor would be once it came out. That was why he bet on Ji Lin at all costs, even at the risk of being expelled by his teacher. After all, with the relationship between Ji Lin and Meng Hongchen, their Hongchen family would definitely have a share of the Molten Knight Armor. What's more, in order to develop the Molten Knight Armor, their Hongchen family risked being expelled from the Sun-Moon Empire and sent a large number of senior soul engineers into Xingluo City.

It is reasonable for the Hongchen Family to have a share of the Molten Knight Armor, and Ji Lin does have the idea of ​​giving some of the Molten Knight Armor to the Hongchen Family. After all, they have made great efforts, and with the Holy Judge of Skyfire in his hands, the Molten Knight will always be under his control. He doesn't care about the Hongchen Family getting the Molten Knight Armor.

Upon hearing that the Molten Knight Armor could unleash the strength of a Titled Douluo, even though Jing Hongchen had expected this, his hands still trembled, and the wine in his hand almost spilled on the ground. Xiao Hongchen opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief.

Jing Hongchen forced himself to remain calm, holding the wine glass tightly with his trembling hands. With a slight "click" sound, a crack appeared on the wine glass in his hand. Jing Hongchen drank the wine in the glass again and laughed, "Good! Good! Good! Xuan Ziwen did a good job. Xiao, Meng, you two go to Xingluo City with Ji Lin. I will tell others that you are in seclusion. The future of the Hongchen family is in your hands."

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen looked at each other with joy in their eyes. They were both happy to go to Xingluo City with Ji Lin. Not only because they could study the Molten Knight Armor, although the Molten Knight Armor was indeed very tempting to both of them, but for Meng Hongchen, being with Ji Lin was the most important thing. As for Xiao Hongchen, he had had enough of the evil soul masters' bullshit during his time in Tiandou City and had long wanted to stop staying here. So leaving was the best option for him.

However, the two of them soon looked at Jing Hongchen worriedly.

"Grandpa, we are leaving now. Is it really okay for you to be alone in Tiandou City? How about letting Meng stay and accompany you?"

"Grandpa, we are leaving. Won't you be lonely in Tiandou City alone? Why don't we let Xiao stay and keep you company?"

As soon as the words fell, Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen glared at each other at the same time. Meng Hongchen showed his little tiger teeth and threatened: "Xiao, believe it or not, I will let Ji Lin beat you up."

Ji Lin's mouth twitched. Wow, they are indeed brother and sister!
Jing Hongchen's face turned pale. Although his grandson and granddaughter were worried that he would be lonely if he stayed alone, neither of them wanted to stay. Instead, they tried to harm each other. What a brotherly and sisterly relationship!
"Get out! Get out! I feel more comfortable and relaxed alone. The wine in Tiandou City is much better than that in Mingdu. I am a level nine soul master. How can I be defeated in Tiandou City?"

After saying that, Jing Hongchen threw a storage soul guide ring to Meng Hongchen and said, "This contains the rare soul guide metals that I have accumulated. You should be able to use them when you go to Xingluo City."

After all, Jing Hongchen had been in charge of Mingde Hall, and his resource reserves were very rich. For Ji Lin, these resources were like timely help and were enough to serve as Meng Hongchen's dowry.

Although it was not stated explicitly, Ji Lin, Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen who were present all tacitly agreed that this was Meng Hongchen's dowry.

Jing Hongchen looked at Ji Lin and said in a deep voice: "Ji Lin, I have handed over my grandson and granddaughter to you. I hope to see you lead the Molten Knights to shock the entire continent soon. I also hope that Meng and Xiao can become one of them. Xiao also broke through to the Soul Saint some time ago. I believe that with their talents, they are enough to become a qualified Molten Knight. I have placed the entire Hongchen family on you, so don't let me down!"

Ji Lin nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will take care of Hao Meng and Brother Xiao, and I will prove that your choice is not wrong."

Hearing the word "Grandpa", Jing Hongchen was stunned, Xiao Hongchen smiled, and Meng Hongchen lowered his head shyly with red cheeks.
