Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 214 Special Guest

Moreover, Kong Deming was confident that he could suppress the opposition from the royal family and the court! As the person closest to becoming a level 10 Soul Master, and also a member of the royal family, he wielded considerable influence.

However, upon hearing this, Jiang Shengyu immediately took a step back.

At this moment, Jiang Qingtong walked to Jiang Shengyu's side, and the two of them said in unison to Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen, "I'm sorry, teacher, I'm afraid we can't agree to this."

"Ok?"

Kong Deming was taken aback. He looked at Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong, frowned, and asked, "What's going on with you two...?"

Jiang Qingtong grabbed Jiang Shengyu's hand and showed it to Kong Deming, saying, "That's how it is."

Kong Deming was struck dumb, and Jing Hongchen stood up abruptly from his seat in surprise. He stared intently at the clasped hands of Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong, wanting to say something but not knowing where to begin, and paced back and forth anxiously.

The two powerful figures who once held sway over the Sun Moon Empire were suddenly speechless.

Huo Yuhao, sitting next to them, tilted his head and stared at the two of them, saying, "Cousin... and cousin, are you together?"

Jiang Qingtong turned around and gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs up, smiling as she said, "Yuhao is so calm! Teacher and Senior Brother are both too impulsive!"

"Who can stay calm in a situation like this? Are you joking with me?" Kong Deming stood up and looked at the two men, his expression extremely agitated. He pointed at them, wanting to say something, but looking into their eyes, he finally managed to say only one sentence: "You can't do this!"

“Yes, we’re not siblings.” Jiang Shengyu looked at the two of them, pulled Jiang Qingtong behind her, and explained the situation to them using the same explanation they had given to Xue Di, but omitted the fact that they shared thoughts and senses.

After listening, Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen both fell silent.

Jing Hongchen murmured, "No wonder, I was wondering why you didn't even give my grandson and granddaughter, who are such talented people, a second glance..."

"Uh……"

Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong exchanged a glance, the awkwardness in their half-view of each other clearly visible.

Kong Deming waved his hand and said, "My thoughts are a bit scattered. You should leave first, and I'll think about it..."

"Eh."

The two nodded, held hands, and walked out. Huo Yuhao bowed to them in farewell and quickly caught up with them. Walking behind them, he asked, "Cousin, cousin! You...aren't you my cousins?"

As the chosen one of destiny in Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao is actually an extremely intelligent person. He has been in the Sun Moon Empire for so many years, yet he has never heard of Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong's parents, and he has gradually figured it out.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's question, the two did not hide anything from him. Jiang Qingtong said, "I'm sorry, Yuhao, I lied to you back then!"

"Why do you say she's my cousin?" Huo Yuhao's expression remained unchanged as he asked Jiang Qingtong this question.

Jiang Qingtong blinked and said, "Perhaps it was a feeling I had? When I saw you lying alone in the Star Dou Great Forest back then, I felt lonely. I think you must have longed for family affection, right? And we don't have any other relatives..."

Huo Yuhao nodded. He didn't press them further about why they knew about him. After a moment of silence, he continued, "No matter what happens, you will always be my cousins!"

The two people in front stopped and turned to look at Huo Yuhao. Jiang Qingtong was moved and said to Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, thank you for your trust!" The three of them didn't say anything more; everything was understood without words.

Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen were shocked by the relationship between Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong. They heard that they hadn't seen each other for several days. Even when people from the Offering Hall came to find Kong Deming, they were told that he was too busy to see guests.

Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong felt that they would probably have to go to Shrek Academy on their own this time.

Just as the two were preparing to set off, a special guest arrived! Jiang Nannan!

Inside the reception room, Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong looked at Jiang Nannan sitting in front of them. Jiang Qingtong asked curiously, "Senior Nannan, why did you come early? Shouldn't the registration time for exchange students at Shrek Academy be about half a month away?"

Jiang Nannan sat upright, her hands on her lap tightly gripping her short skirt. After a long while, she asked in a low voice, "Qingtong, you... you've been just pretending with Elder Xuan and the others, haven't you?"

After Jiang Nannan said those words, although their expressions didn't change, their gazes turned cold. Jiang Qingtong asked, "Why did you suddenly ask that?"

Jiang Nannan sensed their gazes and quickly shook her head, saying, "Don't misunderstand! I'm not here to expose you, and I won't!"

Seeing Jiang Nannan's nervous expression, Jiang Qingtong remained silent for a moment before suddenly laughing and asking, "So, Senior Nannan, is there something you don't want Shrek Academy to know about that you've come to us for?"

Jiang Nannan nodded and explained her purpose to the two: "I want to stay in the Sun Moon Empire, not as an exchange student at Shrek Academy, but as a formal student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Upon learning of Jiang Nannan's plans, Jiang Shengyu was not surprised. He had already noticed signs of this when Jiang Nannan returned to Shrek Academy.

Those who have few ties to the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent are more easily attracted to the prosperous scene of the Sun Moon Empire. Those with painful memories of the past in the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent are even more so.

Fortunately, Jiang Nannan has both of these advantages.

"no problem!"

Jiang Shengyu shook his head and agreed to Jiang Nannan's request. He said, "We'll handle Shrek Academy. You just need to stay here and relax. I'll have someone buy you property in Mingdu and bring your mother over too."

He wanted to establish Jiang Nannan as a role model, a role model that would have a special effect on those who were similar to Jiang Nannan and originally belonged to the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent!
It's just a house, a mere combination of reinforced concrete. For others, buying a house in Mingdu might be a major expense, but for Jiang Shengyu, the Marquis of Tianyue, it's just a matter of talking.

After meeting Jiang Nannan, they prepared to set off for Shrek Academy.

They were originally thought to have to go on their own, but in the end, Kong Deming personally escorted them there!

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were both stunned. It was just going to school, so why would Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming come in person?

Kong Deming led them toward Shrek Academy. On the way, he said to the two of them, "I have thought about this for many days. Since you insist on this, I will not separate you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong exchanged a glance and thanked Kong Deming.

"But don't be too happy yet!" Kong Deming changed the subject and said to the two of them.
