Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 232 Dream of the Mortal World: Cao Cao's Heart Never Dies

But Meng Hongchen didn't think so.

In a place like Douluo Continent, where there is no clear distinction between Soul Masters and commoners, or between evil Soul Masters and normal Soul Masters, no one would consider a category that has absolutely no relation to them.

In comparison, although Ling Shuang acted out of momentary compassion and was not obsessed with it, it was all the more precious.

Even the faintest light, like that of a firefly, can be dazzling in sufficient darkness.

"So what do you plan to do?" Ling Shuang asked calmly, "Reveal my identity to the Holy Spirit Cult?"

"Of course not!" Meng Hongchen immediately denied.

She looked at Ling Shuang, her admiration growing even stronger: "I will keep your identity a secret, and if you need any help from me later, you can always tell me!"

Meng Hongchen did not explain Detang, because this was just her personal opinion.

In fact, Meng Hongchen did not tell her grandfather about Ling Shuang's identity, so she could not say that Mingdetang would help.

This is different from how Ling Shuang was recruited in the first place.

The reason Meng Hongchen was able to represent Mingde Hall at that time was because she was certain that recruiting Ling Shuang would benefit the entire Mingde Hall, so her grandfather would definitely not refuse.

However, keeping Ling Shuang's identity a secret is different; it doesn't actually bring any specific benefits to Mingdetang.

and……

Meng Hongchen was incredibly intelligent. After learning from her grandfather, Jing Hongchen, that Ling Shuang's other identity, Jiang Xue, was someone he had brought into the Holy Spirit Cult, she realized something.

Grandpa, no, I should say that Detang and even the entire Sun Moon Royal Family may have some kind of weak relationship with the Holy Spirit Cult.

She couldn't guarantee that she would get their help after revealing Ling Shuang's identity, nor could she even guarantee that they would reveal Ling Shuang's identity to the Holy Spirit Cult.

Although she understood perfectly well that her grandfather, Jing Hongchen, hated those evil spirit masters, the adult world was never a place where personal preferences could represent everything.

For the sake of profit, she didn't think her grandfather was incapable of doing such a thing.

After all, it was just her personal affection for Ling Shuang.

"..." Ling Shuang was indeed somewhat surprised by Meng Hongchen's reaction.

He didn't know whether this Miss Hongchen made the decision because she was infatuated with him, because she approved of his actions, or because of both.

But whatever the reason, it's ultimately a good thing for Ling Shuang.

At least it has saved a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Even if Meng Hongchen didn't do that, he still had a solution, but it would still be somewhat troublesome.

"Thanks," he said softly.

“No need.” Meng Hongchen narrowed her beautiful eyes.

"So, do you have any other requests?" Ling Shuang asked. Given Meng Hongchen's good attitude, he felt that he could agree to any request as long as it wasn't excessive.

He's the kind of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

“That’s all.” Meng Hongchen shrugged. She had only come to verify her conjecture and, incidentally, to find out why Ling Shuang had joined the Holy Spirit Cult.

Now that he has achieved his goals, he naturally has no other goals.

After learning that Ling Shuang was Jiang Xue, her Dao heart, which had been slightly unstable because of Jiang Xue'er, was now completely stabilized.

Ling Shuang was speechless; he didn't know how to describe this young lady from Mingde Hall.

It must be said that after this whole ordeal, Meng Hongchen did indeed earn Ling Shuang a little more favor.

"In that case, I'll be leaving now." With no further requests from Meng Hongchen, Ling Shuang got up and prepared to leave.

Green light enveloped his face once more, and Ling Shuang's appearance transformed back into Jiang Xue's. Although she had developed a slight liking for this young lady of Mingde Hall, Ling Shuang would not engage in idle chatter with her here.

"Where in the academy are you going? Shall we go together?" After learning that Jiang Xue was Ling Shuang, Meng Hongchen became unusually proactive.

Just like back in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

Now that Jiang Nannan and the white-haired female powerhouse are not by Ling Shuang's side, Meng Hongchen feels that this is a good opportunity to poach her!

Without the obstruction of those two, he would definitely be able to get closer to Ling Shuang more easily.

Meng Hongchen couldn't possibly let such a good opportunity slip by.

Although Ling Shuang still showed little interest in her performance, she was not discouraged.

As the saying goes, "It's easy for a woman to pursue a man," but even if that doesn't apply to Ling Shuang and it becomes "It's hard to climb a mountain," she can still be like the Foolish Old Man who moved mountains!

"Academic Affairs Office, process your temporary stay on campus." Ling Shuang's voice, now restored to its cold tone, echoed as she spoke Jiang Xue's face returned to its original appearance.

"Leave school?" Meng Hongchen was taken aback.

Why is Ling Shuang suddenly leaving school? She hasn't even had a chance to put her plans into action yet!
"Yes, I want to hunt for a soul ring." Because Meng Hongchen had shown a good attitude before, Ling Shuang was willing to answer a few more questions now.

Hunting for Soul Rings...

Meng Hongchen was stunned for a moment, then her crimson eyes widened instantly:

"You've broken through level 60?!"

"Yeah." Ling Shuang nodded.

Upon receiving confirmation, Meng Hongchen was utterly shocked.

I remember when we participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition, Ling Shuang had only just broken through to the Soul King level.

He's already level 60 in just about a year?
Let alone the jump from level 50 to 60, even if it's just from level 10 to 20, this speed is terrifying!

Meng Hongchen felt somewhat numb; once again, she felt how ironic her so-called genius title was.

She felt that when Ling Shuang called Jiang Xue "useless" back then, perhaps it wasn't just to maintain Jiang Xue's persona; maybe she genuinely believed it...

After all, compared to others, she felt quite useless...

However, Meng Hongchen quickly adjusted her mindset.

Since she was completely outshone by her own male god, she wasn't angry or upset!

Meng Hongchen thought of something else, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.

Although her brother's Dao heart wasn't shattered because of what she said back then, he still harbored resentment towards Jiang Xue.

He's been working extra hard lately, seemingly trying to regain some face in front of Jiang Xue.

They said that even if they couldn't win in terms of strength, they could at least gain the upper hand in terms of soul power level!

After all, both of them are Soul Kings, and it seems that this is the only thing that makes them relatively close.

If he knew that Ling Shuang had already broken through to level 60, his reaction would definitely be quite interesting.

After all, Xiao Hongchen is still quite a distance from level 60.

Before she knew that Jiang Xue was Ling Shuang, Meng Hongchen supported her brother's idea of ​​surpassing Jiang Xue.

But after learning that Jiang Xue was Ling Shuang, she no longer had that thought.

It's a pathetic laugh; even just having an edge in soul power level seems impossible now...
