Chương 627: Chapter 56 Is Xiao Hongchen a Clown?_1
Seeing Mu En's insistence, neither Yan Shaozhe nor Elder Zhuang had too many objections.
Because the die was cast.
Elder Zhuang sighed, "I really don't know what the future of Shrek Academy will be like..."
Yan Shaozhe did not answer, but he thought to himself that Xuan Zi was impulsive and reckless, and feared that under his leadership, Shrek would be pushed toward the abyss.
Anyway, it was very uncertain.
"Since this matter is settled, let's not discuss it anymore. If you have anything to say or any questions, we can talk after I return from Xingluo City."
After hearing Mu En's words, both Yan Shaozhe and Elder Zhuang naturally had no further objections.
At this moment, Mu En asked, "The Medical Sage Douluo should have already tried to heal those two children, right?"
Yan Shaozhe nodded, "Yes."
"And what was the result?"
Yan Shaozhe sighed, "It was beyond help."
Mu En was shocked.
Does that mean those two children are beyond saving?
He sighed, "What a pity, they had a very promising chance of becoming Titled Douluos."
"Alas."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe also sighed, "In recent years, Shrek Academy has lost far too many geniuses..."
His words were laden with meaning.
He was referring to Zhang Lexuan and that year's Shrek members' plight.
...
Meanwhile.
Xingluo City.
In the hotel.
Elder Ma, with an expressionless face, came to Qin Xiao and informed him, "Qin Xiao, the Hall Master asks for you."
The auction had ended. Next would presumably be the division of the spoils, Qin Xiao muttered to himself, standing up and following Elder Ma to Jing Hongchen's room.
"You go in, I'll wait here outside," Elder Ma said, and obediently stood by the door like a loyal guard.
Qin Xiao nodded and pushed the door open to enter.
What surprised him was that.
Not only were Jing Hongchen and Meng Hongchen in the room, but Xiao Hongchen was also there.
"Come, have a seat," Jing Hongchen beckoned to Qin Xiao, gesturing for him to sit beside Meng Hongchen.
Qin Xiao did not refuse and sat down gracefully.
"I'm sure you all know why I have called you here, it's simply to discuss the ownership of the auctioned items," Jing Hongchen said while taking out both the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone and the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast Embryo.
The moment these two treasures appeared, both Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen's eyes shone brightly.
Especially Xiao Hongchen.
The fellow had already begun to imagine himself after fusing with the 100,000-Year Soul Beast Embryo, exhibiting a peerless demeanor with Twin Martial Souls.
Wouldn't he be unbeatable against all enemies in the world?
"The 100,000-Year Soul Beast Embryo needs no discussion, I will naturally keep it for Xiao, but as for this Ice-jade Soul Bone, whoever can fuse with it shall claim it," Jing Hongchen pointed at the Soul Bone and said.
Qin Xiao: "..."
This was somewhat infuriating.
You're only letting me and Meng Hongchen explore the issue with the Soul Bone, so why bring out the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Embryo? Just to make me green with envy?
Or is it to flaunt your wealth on this occasion?
"Grandfather, since you're keeping the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast Embryo for me, then should I keep it?" Xiao Hongchen said, reaching out to take it.
"No!"
Qin Xiao and Jing Hongchen almost spoke at the same time.
If the hundred-thousand-year soul beast were to end up in Xiao Hongchen's hands and he was to carry it with him, when the attack on Mingde Hall was underway, it wouldn't be so easy for Qin Xiao to take advantage of the situation.
"Uh, is such a big reaction really necessary?"
Xiao Hongchen was somewhat baffled, "Qin Xiao, what's got you so worked up?"
Qin Xiao spread his hands helplessly, "I just think that with your cultivation level not being high, it would be difficult to protect such a treasure. In your hands, I'd rather you walk out the door, turn left, and toss it into the roadside trash."
By contrast, such a precious item, I think, would be safer in Lord Hongchen's hands."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen's fists clenched with a crackling sound, "Are you looking down on me? What do you mean by saying it's the same as throwing it into the trash if it's in my hands?"
Qin Xiao just smiled without saying a word.
"Oh, I get it, are you jealous of me?"
Xiao Hongchen suddenly felt hopeful that he had a chance to turn the tables.
Instead of responding to Xiao Hongchen, Qin Xiao's gaze turned to Jing Hongchen.
"Don't think my grandfather will speak up for you."
"However, that's not the case."
Jing Hongchen shook his head, "I think what Qin Xiao said makes a lot of sense. A hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast Embryo is an extremely rare treasure on the Soul Land, coveted by many. Besides, you can't even use it now.
Take my advice, if you can't handle it, it's safest to leave it with me. The reason I let you see it is to motivate you, isn't it? To give you a reason to train hard."
Xiao Hongchen: "..."
"Moreover, you can be assured, Qin Xiao definitely won't have any crooked ideas about the 100,000-Year Soul Beast Embryo, right?"
Hearing Jing Hongchen's words, Xiao Hongchen was stunned, "Grandfather, why do you have such confidence and trust in him? Is it because you're sure he'll end up with Meng?"
Before Jing Hongchen could answer, Meng Hongchen, with a blush, clutched the corner of her clothing and stamped her foot gently, "Brother, some things are understood without being said out loud. After all, I am a girl."
"Besides, Uncle Qin and I are still young, and in the future... in the future..."
As she spoke, she started to laugh.
She couldn't keep up the facade, the image of an innocent beauty.
Because just thinking about the days spent with Uncle Qin made her feel wonderful.
Xiao Hongchen: "..."
This girl's words say one thing, but her body tells the truth.
Sigh.
Whatever.
"How did we get here."
Jing Hongchen exclaimed loudly, "The reason I say Qin Xiao won't be tempted by the 100,000-Year Soul Beast Embryo is because what you desperately desire, Qin Xiao already possesses. For him, having that hundred-thousand-year soul beast would just mean another Soul Ring and Soul Bone."
"What?"
After hearing Jing Hongchen's words, both Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen had expressions of utter shock.
"Qin Xiao actually has Twin Martial Souls?"
"Yes, indeed Twin Martial Souls. And they're not just any Twin Martial Souls. His second Martial Soul is called the Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion, an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul extremely rare in the Soul Land..."
As he spoke, Jing Hongchen cast a glance at Xiao Hongchen, "Otherwise, why do you think I'd say this? The very prize you've been longing for has already been secured by someone else."
What!? Is this true?
Xiao Hongchen's body jerked as if struck by lightning.
The Spiritual Eyes Martial Soul, Qin Xiao's original Spiritual Martial Soul, was already one in ten thousand, a top-tier Martial Soul.
As a Soul Master, it was something he was highly envious of.
But now there's another Martial Soul even stronger than the Spiritual Eyes Martial Soul, how's a person supposed to live with that?
Turns out, the joke was on me all along.
"Qin Xiao, you don't mind that I told them about your second Martial Soul, do you?"
"I don't mind at all."
The fact that Jing Hongchen had kept this secret until now had already surprised Qin Xiao.
Besides, there's nothing wrong with it being out in the open.
It just means he could obtain more resources.
And improve his cultivation level faster.
