Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 60: Mirror of Red Dust: I have never seen someone with such a miserable life story (Happy New Year)
It was already dusk when everyone returned to Mingdu on the Jing Hongchen plane, but this did not affect their enthusiasm at all.

Jing Hongchen waved his hand and announced that in order to celebrate the new students' upcoming enrollment, Lin Jiayi would be allowed to take a group of students to play in the Mingdu Night Market for a night, and all expenses would be paid for by the dean!

A group of students, including the Hongchen brothers and sisters, cheered, and even those who had never seen Xu Tianxi had a better impression of him.

Xu Tianxi himself was personally accompanied by the very enthusiastic Dean Hongchen, who kindly asked him various questions.

"Xiao Xu, I've known your uncle for a long time, but I don't know much about you. Could you tell me more about what happened to you in the Xuanming Sect, and how you ran away from home?"

Xu Tianxi looked at the various buildings in Mingdu with curiosity, as the night approached and the buildings switched to night forms, his expression looking nervous.

"I learned of my mother's tragic death before I awakened my martial spirit. Since then, I have never participated in Xuanming Sect's social activities. I have spent all my time on cultivation. As a result, I have fallen out with most people in Xuanming Sect. The head mistress Xue Lingxun and Yan Shaozhe reached an exchange of interests to weaken my will to cultivate.

I couldn't stand it, so I left Xuanming Sect under the protection of an elder and an old servant my mother had brought with her. Later, I went to the Far North to hunt for my second spirit ring, and then went to Hanhai City to seek refuge with my master uncle, and only then did I settle down..."

"Oh? So, these two are your great benefactors. I wonder where they are now? Are they also in Hanhai City?"

Xu Tianxi lowered his head upon hearing this and softly said "Not here" in an extremely low voice:
"When we were traveling by sea to Hanhai City, we encountered a battle between the Evil Spirit Master and Tongtian Baxia. We joined the battle, and then some unexpected events occurred...

That elder from Xuanming Sect was unable to accompany me to Hanhai City. I haven't seen him since I got off the boat, and I miss him very much now..."

As he spoke, Xu Tianxi's eyes turned red again and tears were about to fall.

"Hey, hey, hey, kid, you..."

Jing Hongchen didn't expect Xu Tianxi to say "bad news" right away, and quickly gave a look to the Hongchen brothers and sisters who were listening to the story quietly in the back.

Xiao Hongchen was confused and sad, and Meng Hongchen quickly took out a stack of tissues and handed it to him.

Jing Hongchen said to himself, "My granddaughter is so smart," and hurriedly wiped Xu Tianxi's eyes while comforting him.

Xu Tianxi wiped away his tears, lowered his head and continued:
"Not long ago, my mother's old servant and I rushed to the Sun-Moon Empire. When we passed by the Mingdou Great Forest, we encountered the notorious Hateful Demon Soul Killer Group, and a fierce conflict broke out...

During the battle, I desperately killed the Emissary of Hate, exhausting my soul power. After recovering, I crossed the Mingdou Mountains alone. They told me that from now on, I would have to walk the road alone..."

"Ah this..."

Jing Hongchen prided himself on his knowledge, but he had never seen such a tragic life story as Xu Tianxi's. Could it be that this child had a conflict with an evil spirit master? How could he encounter an evil spirit master even when traveling?

With his cultivation as a Titled Douluo, he was very sure that Xu Tianxi was not lying, and the sadness and hatred in his mental power were definitely not fake.

But isn't this too tragic? How did his master arrange it? Couldn't he have personally escorted them?
Wait, could it be that the guy wants to tell this hall master that this kid has no relatives in Xuanming Sect except him, so I can invest with confidence and don’t have to worry about his sincerity?
"By the way, kid, what about your father? Did he never take care of you?"

"He went into seclusion during the two days when my martial spirit awakened. I haven't seen him since then."

Jing Hongchen was speechless. Well, Xu Tianxi is really no different from an orphan.

He had been sensing the fluctuations of Xu Tianxi's soul power and had not found any physiological abnormalities. He was proud of his ability to judge people and could tell whether a child was lying or not.

"Then you don't have any other relatives in Xuanming Sect? Like brothers and sisters?"

Meng Hongchen, who had been following behind and listening for a long time, couldn't help but come forward, with a look of sympathy on his little face.

Xu Tianxi shook his head, shrugged and sighed:

"Among my peers in the Xuanming Sect, there is only one half-brother who has a good relationship with me, but he is a student at Shrek Academy and is away from home all year round." "Ah? Isn't that even less reliable than a smile?" Meng Hongchen blurted out.

"Ahem, Meng, what are you talking about? How am I unreliable..."

Xiao Hongchen, with a dark look on his face, walked forward and asked curiously, "Is your brother in Shrek Academy? Is he good?"

Xu Tianxi carefully recalled the boastful words in Xu Sanshi's letter and said slowly:

"He has awakened the Xuanming Turtle, the Xuanming Sect's orthodox martial spirit. I've been in touch with him occasionally, and he claims to have become the number one defensive spirit master in Shrek's outer courtyard."

"The number one defensive spirit master in Shrek's outer courtyard? Doesn't that mean he could very well participate in the same spirit fighting competition as Xiao and the others? Xiao Xu, are you kidding me, brother?"

Jing Hongchen's eyes moved and he soon found the key point.

How could the Xuanming Sect produce two top-tier geniuses simultaneously, each admitted to the two most powerful academies in the world? With such a prosperous fortune, could there be some unusual thoughts?

"I don't know about that, but you should be able to find out, Dean." Xu Tianxi responded calmly.

That's right, the information is too obvious and cannot withstand investigation.

Jing Hongchen secretly compared the information and felt relieved.

That's right, dispersing the family's talented children and investing in two parties at the same time, this is the habit of those guys.

The two brothers each stood on one side, so that no matter who won, they could leave a legacy.

However, judging from Xu Tianxi's own situation, he is indeed a lonely man. This is enough. If he is careful, there should be no problem.

"Ugh……"

Jing Hongchen sighed, shook his head, and said to Xu Tianxi in a gentle voice:

"Child, although you have no home now, the Sun-Moon Empire offers endless opportunities. As long as you work hard, you will have no problem getting married, building a career, and having a wife and children. As your dean, I will be your guide."

"Looking at your current state, I guess you are not interested in playing anymore. I will take you back to the academy to arrange accommodation."

After saying that, Jing Hongchen waved to his grandchildren and flew to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy with Xu Tianxi.

At the same place, the Hongchen brothers and sisters looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Meng, why do I feel like Grandpa values ​​Xu Tianxi more than us? Our status won't be threatened, right?"

Xiao Hongchen's eyes flashed, and he jumped to Meng Hongchen's ear and whispered, staring at the receding backs of Jing Hongchen and Xu Tianxi as if facing a great enemy.

Meng Hongchen rolled his eyes helplessly and reminded unhappily:
"The night before last, it was you who told Director Lin that Grandpa had a dream where he wanted to take in a disciple. Director Lin asked Grandpa about it, and Grandpa didn't deny it. So that's pretty much the same as accepting it."

Xiao Hongchen rubbed his scalp angrily, lowered his head and muttered softly:
"Isn't it just that I couldn't think of a more appropriate lie at the time? Besides, Grandpa is so busy, he doesn't have much time to teach students, right? He doesn't have much time to ask us either."

"Then you can just pray that a master in the academy happens to discover Xiao Xu and accept him as his personal disciple. But I don't think anyone would dare to compete with Grandpa for him."

Meng Hongchen didn't want to discuss this issue with his brother anymore, so he turned around and waved his hand, motioning Xiao Hongchen to go shopping together. The latter immediately looked miserable and followed him resignedly.

Going shopping with a girl is such a torture, especially when she is your own sister and you can't avoid her at all!
