Chapter 102 Meng Hongchen: Grandpa, you can't bully Xiaoze!
Soon, Xiao Hongchen brewed a pot of tea. After pouring for Jing Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, she glanced at Yunze and said coldly, "Pour it yourself."
"They're guests, brother, can you take that back?" Meng Hongchen glared at her older brother, then poured Yunze a cup of tea. "Drink slowly, it'll moisten your mouth."
"Sister Meng is so kind." Yunze took it, took a small sip, and the rich aroma of tea immediately filled his mouth.
Xiao Hongchen merely snorted and went upstairs.
"I have something to do, you two chat."
Jing Hongchen looked at her precious grandson with a hint of helplessness. "Yunze, that's just his personality. He's never really suffered much before. Come to think of it, this is the first time I've ever encountered him treating someone like this."
"Perhaps in some ways, you're the only one who has truly caught his attention."
Yunze smiled slightly after hearing this. "Don't worry, Dean, I didn't take it to heart."
"Xiaoze is so sensible." Meng Hongchen said with a smile, then snorted in dissatisfaction when she thought of her older brother. "Unlike my brother, who always has a cold face, like everyone owes him a lot of money!"
"Alright, Meng, with Yunze around, he'll probably feel some pressure in the future, which might not be a bad thing for him." Jing Hongchen gently stroked her granddaughter's hair.
"Xiao Meng, go back to your room first. Yunze and I need to talk alone."
"Okay."
Meng Hongchen obediently got up to leave, but before leaving, she seemed to remember something and turned back to her grandfather, saying, "You mustn't bully Xiaoze, or I won't talk to Grandpa anymore."
"You silly girl." Jing Hongchen was both amused and exasperated, nodding repeatedly. "Alright, I won't bully your Xiaoze. Go on."
"Hehe, that's more like it." Meng Hongchen was finally relieved and walked lightly upstairs.
After Meng Hongchen's figure disappeared into the stairwell, Jing Hongchen's smiling expression turned serious.
He looked at Yunze and said calmly, "If you want any resources in the future, just ask Lin Jiayi. I've already told him that he will treat you as a key talent to be cultivated in the future." Yunze
nodded.
"Also, you slapped Jiang Moyan and Yue Chen in the face today. These two have a high status among the nobles of Mingdu, especially Jiang Moyan. Although the Jiang family is only a vassal of the royal family, their development speed in recent years has been very fast, and they also have a direct lineage with the Empress. Given their personalities, this matter is very likely to reach the ears of the royal family." Jing Hongchen reminded him.
"Actually, I was already prepared for this." Yunze smiled slightly.
"Oh?"
Jing Hongchen raised an eyebrow. "Is your reliance on that Super Douluo from back then?"
"Of course not." Yun Ze smiled and shook his head. As he said this, Yun Ze's eyes narrowed slightly. "Back then, I told the Dean that my Snow Sect possessed strength comparable to an empire. This wasn't just boasting; it was a fact."
"I didn't take the Jiang family seriously."
Jing Hongchen fell silent upon hearing Yun Ze's words.
"The royal family's waters run much deeper than you think. Remember, unless absolutely necessary, never clash with His Majesty's lineage or the Crown Prince's lineage." Jing Hongchen solemnly instructed. "I will help you settle things with the Jiang family. If possible, spend more time with Xiao Meng in the future. With her status, even His Majesty and the Crown Prince wouldn't dare to touch you casually."
"I understand."
At the very center of Mingdu was naturally the vast imperial palace.
The imperial palace was extremely large, even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy paled in comparison.
Each building was resplendent in gold, shining brightly even in the darkness of night. In a study within a palace north of the imperial palace, a wheelchair rested quietly beside the bed.
Behind an ethereal curtain, a young man leaned against the headboard, holding a form in his hands.
The young man was handsome, though his dark skin gave him a composed air.
His lips were thin, and his face was expressionless; no one knew what he was thinking.
His sharp eyes stared at the form in his hands. After a moment, he suddenly smiled.
"An eleven-year-old Soul Master, able to defeat a fifth-level Soul Master without using his Martial Soul, and even shattering a fifth-level invincible shield consecutively. I never imagined that my Sun Moon Empire would one day produce such a prodigy." His
finger lightly tapped the form, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved upwards.
In Mingdu, the young man's reputation was perhaps the most widely known among his peers.
Xu Tianran, the current Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire, had countless talented young men and loyal subjects under his command; it could be said that the next throne was essentially in his hands.
"So you're getting close to that person from the Red Dust Hall Master's family. Interesting." Xu Tianran smiled, looking less like a high-ranking prince and more like a hunter spotting his prey.
"Indeed interesting."
A deep voice slowly echoed in the vast, empty Crown Prince's palace.
Xu Tianran raised his eyes and smiled slightly. "What, is Elder Long also interested in this person?"
No one responded.
Xu Tianran wasn't annoyed. He shrugged and lay down on the bed more comfortably. "Where is the Sect Leader's plan at now?"
"The numbers are far from enough; the gap to her plan is enormous." Soon, the same voice sounded again.
"Is that so?" Xu Tianran gently stroked his chin, his face still beaming with a smile. "In that case, Elder Long, please inform the Sect Leader that in a month it will be the annual celebration of our Sun Moon Empire. A large number of people will flood the streets. I will secretly mobilize some of them to a certain location as a gift for the Sect Leader."
The voice paused for a moment, not answering immediately.
A moment later, the voice slowly rang out, "Will this affect you?"
"Of course not." Xu Tianran shook his head. "If something happens, plenty of people will take the blame. Besides, it's just some commoners who will die; their deaths are insignificant, nobody will care."
"No wonder your father designated you as the first in line to the throne. Your personalities are quite similar to his."
The voice sounded again, its tone utterly calm.
Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes. "Does Elder Long think this is good or bad?"
"Good or bad, only you know." The voice fell silent. Did
he know?
Xu Tianran slowly closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them a moment later.
A fierce light shone from them.
"The renowned Dragon Emperor, actually reduced to this for a filthy woman, ha, how laughable." Xu Tianran sneered. "So, if a person doesn't live for themselves, they'll be condemned by heaven and earth."
