Chapter 55 Banquet Kong Deming

The entire process of the enthronement ceremony was recorded by the camera of Sun Moon Radio and broadcast to Soul Guide TV.

The ceremony ended and the spectators left.

As they were leaving, groups of three or five people were talking in private, and all of them were talking about how the Sun and Moon Saint had blessed and cured their injuries.

Xu Tianran was operating the wheelchair and listening along the way. He glanced at his lower body obscurely and tasted the taste of regret for the first time in his life.

In the evening, the palace held a grand celebration banquet, which was open to the public with family members.

Xu Hongjing announced that Lian Chen had twin martial souls and was listed in the court, and introduced some trusted members of the royal family to her.

Halfway through the banquet, an energetic old man arrived late. He was not wearing a formal dress suitable for a banquet, but a suit specially provided for soul masters to make soul guides, as if he had just come out of a laboratory.

The old man walked straight to Xu Hongjing and bowed, "Your Majesty."

Xu Hongjing was surprised by the old man's arrival and quickly helped him up: "Master Kong, please stop being polite!"

This old man, whom Xu Hongjing called "Mr. Kong", was the first person to lead the soul guide technology in Douluo Continent.

He is over 150 years old, and his strength is close to that of a level 10 soul guide. Standing at the top of the soul guide world, he is also a level 94 Titled Douluo. Few people know that this level 94 Titled Douluo has twin martial spirits. He is not only a powerful soul guide, but also a powerful soul master.

Kong Deming is the head of the Sun-Moon Empire's Worship Hall. He has one quarter royal blood and is only loyal to the royal family.

He devoted his life to the study of soul guides and put all his energy into them. Unless necessary, he rarely left the worship hall. Xu Hongjing did not invite him to participate in the canonization ceremony of the Saint.

"Mr. Kong, why are you here?"

Kong Deming said indifferently: "Come and see the Saint of my Sun Moon Empire."

He tilted his head slightly and looked at Lian Chen beside Xu Hongjing: "This is the little saint girl, right?"

Kong Deming had heard his disciple Xuan Ziwen mention Lian Chen's name the other day. He was said to be a child with great creative talent in soul guides, but unfortunately he couldn't make one.

The spy he had planted in the palace brought him news that the Saint possessed twin martial souls, so he put down his research on soul guides and hurried to the banquet.

Lian Chen nodded and said, "Mr. Kong."

Kong Deming explained directly: "Little Saint, can you show me your martial spirit?"

These words quieted the surrounding voices, and attention gradually shifted to Lian Chen.

"Of course." Lian Chen raised his hands and released the Spiritual Sky Spider and Snow Phoenix Ice King Flute martial spirits.

Spiritual attribute martial souls are rare. Feeling the aura of the Snow Phoenix Ice King Flute, even a powerful person like Kong Deming was so excited that his body trembled slightly: "Super extreme ice attribute martial soul!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

The existence of a spirit that surpasses the ultimate! With twin spirits, they dared not imagine how high Lian Chen would grow in the future. Thinking of Lian Chen's miraculous healing ability displayed at the canonization ceremony, they suddenly understood what Xu Hongjing had done.

Kong Deming smiled kindly and asked Lian Chen, "Does the Saint have a teacher?"

Anyone could understand what Kong Deming meant. He wanted to take Lian Chen as his disciple.

The Hongchen siblings in the crowd moved and wanted to step forward to say something, but were stopped by Jing Hongchen.

"Grandpa?" The Hongchen siblings looked at Jing Hongchen in confusion, feeling anxious, worried that Lian Chen would be snatched away by Kong Deming.

Jing Hongchen clenched his fists and said nothing, just shook his head at them.

Lian Chen answered truthfully: "Mr. Kong, I have already taken the head of Mingde Hall as my teacher." The next second, Jing Hongchen's fist loosened. He was glad that Lian Chen politely rejected Kong Deming, but also felt sorry that she gave up a better teacher. The Hongchen brothers and sisters were also relieved that Lian Chen chose to continue to be Jing Hongchen's disciple.

Kong Deming nodded, a little regretful: "I am late, so I will go back to the Worship Hall first. If the Saint needs you, you can come to the Worship Hall to find me at any time."

"Thank you, Mr. Kong. Take care."

……

After the banquet, Lian Chen stayed in the palace to rest for one night. The next day, she returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Xu Hongjing sent her to the palace gate and left her alone.

"This is my aide, Qingfeng Douluo Feng Xun. He will be your personal protector from now on."

Xu Hongjing pointed to a middle-aged man in blue and introduced him. The man had a strong face, half-long hair that was a mixture of black and white, and a cloak over a neat and clean suit. Judging from his attire, he did not look like someone from the Sun-Moon Empire.

Feng Xun approached Lian Chen and bowed, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Saint."

As the emperor's personal staff, he does not get involved with any other forces. Lian Chen would not refuse such a Titled Douluo-level bodyguard.

"Uncle Feng, you don't have to be so polite."

Lian Chenxu helped Feng Xun up, turned around and said goodbye to Xu Hongjing, and the two of them took a car back to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

The soul-guided car went directly to Mingde Hall. Mingde Hall did not allow outsiders to enter or leave at will. Feng Xun stopped on his own accord and waited outside.

Lian Chen walked in, and Lin Man, who had been waiting for a long time, came forward and leaned over to say, "Your Highness, the Lord has asked you to go to the study room when you return."

Lian Chen was canonized as a saint yesterday with great fanfare and everyone knew about it, so Lin Man changed her name and used it to refer to her as she used to.

"understood."

Mingde Hall is divided into the inner hall and the outer hall. The outer hall is the private area of the Hongchen family, and the inner hall underground is the real core of Mingde Hall, including eight departments such as the research department, experimental area, and metal management warehouse.

He went up to the study on the second floor and knocked on the door.

"Knock Knock-"

Soon, Jing Hongchen's voice came from inside the door: "Come in."

Lian Chen pushed the door open and walked in: "Teacher, are you looking for me?"

"Xiao Chen, come and sit down." Jing Hongchen poured two cups of tea, pushed one cup in front of Lian Chen, and said, "At the banquet yesterday, you should have agreed to become Master Kong's disciple. Master Kong also has twin martial spirits, and he is more suitable to teach you than me."

Lian Chen picked up the teacup and rubbed it, "Teacher, since I have accepted you as my teacher, you will be my only teacher in this life. I will never make choices based on profit."

It is undeniable that Jing Hongchen was relieved in his heart, but as a qualified teacher, he had to tell Lian Chen: "Xiao Chen, sometimes being too sentimental will only hurt you. We are all at the center of power. To maintain this position, we must abandon unnecessary emotions and do whatever it takes."

Lian Chen shook his head: "In my heart, the teacher-student relationship with the teacher is a necessary relationship."

She had no shortage of teachers or training resources. The Sun-Moon Empire had six major soul mentor corps, namely the Infantry Corps, the Evil King Soul Mentor Corps, the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Corps, the Terror Claw Soul Mentor Corps, the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Corps and the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Mentor Corps.

The combat power and weapons of these six soul masters undoubtedly come from Mingde Hall.

Controlling Mingde Hall is equivalent to controlling the lifeline of the six major legions.

If she gave up Jing Hongchen and chose Kong Deming, she would be truly losing the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.
