Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 233 Ah~ Dream!
"Then you can go directly there. I'll put in a good word with the academy for you."

Meng Hongchen said with a smile.

Ling Shuang pondered for a moment and concluded that it was indeed feasible.

Meng Hongchen, the granddaughter of the Mingde Hall Master, is quite influential when she speaks.

Moreover, Ling Shuang's identity as Jiang Xue didn't really matter to the academy; she only made this trip to give Zhong Liwu face and avoid any unforeseen complications.

"Then I'll have to trouble you." After Ling Shuang's true identity was exposed by Meng Hongchen, he stopped using Jiang Xue's annoying tone.

Meng Hongchen smiled; Ling Shuang's voice sounded much more pleasant now.

After leaving the room, Ling Shuang returned to Tang Ya and Gu Yuena's side.

He waved to Meng Hongchen, then turned around with Tang Ya.

Watching their departing figures, a hint of envy flashed in Meng Hongchen's crimson eyes.

It would be a lie to say she didn't want to be together.

Having finally confirmed that Jiang Xue was indeed Ling Shuang, she hadn't even had a chance to take action while Ling Shuang was away from Jiang Nannan and Xue Di when Ling Shuang was about to leave the academy.

However, Meng Hongchen knew she definitely couldn't go with them.

In the public eye, her relationship with Ling Shuang, now known as Jiang Xue, while not as tense as Ma Rulong's or Jiang Xue's, is certainly not friendly.

Ling Shuang left the academy under the identity of Jiang Xue. If she followed along, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.

After all, this is completely different from informing the academy that Jiang Xue and others are leaving the academy.

Informing the academy about their departure was just a casual remark and could be considered a convenient action, but to follow along would be far too unusual.

This could very likely lead to the exposure of the fact that Jiang Xue is actually Ling Shuang.

Although Meng Hongchen also felt that others were unlikely to connect these two seemingly unrelated people, what if they were?
She didn't want Ling Shuang's plan to fail because of her.

After all, in Ling Shuang's view, her plan was beneficial to the entire Soul Master world.

…………

"Aren't we going to explain?"

Seeing Ling Shuang leading what appeared to be the path leading away from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Tang Ya asked in confusion via telepathy.

Although there weren't many people around at that time, students still occasionally passed by.

Because she still needed to maintain her disguise, Tang Ya couldn't ask directly and could only rely on this method of transmitting her voice.

She specifically asked Gu Yuena for help, so as long as she controlled her facial expressions, she wasn't worried about others noticing anything unusual.

"No need, Meng Hongchen will explain it to us."

"That young lady from Mingde Hall?" Tang Ya was taken aback. "Why would that woman help us pass on a message?"

In her memory, although Meng Hongchen did not have the same hostility towards them as Ma Rulong and Xiao Hongchen, she was definitely not friendly either.

She couldn't understand why Meng Hongchen would agree to help them pass on a message.

"She's discovered my identity," Ling Shuang replied calmly via telepathy.

Upon hearing this, Tang Ya's eyes widened slightly, but after so much acting experience, she had mastered the control over her facial expressions.

In a split second, she regained her composure.

But the emotions in my heart were still not calm.

"She found out your identity?!" Tang Ya couldn't understand what had gone wrong.

In her opinion, Ling Shuang hadn't shown any flaws during this time, so how could she have discovered his identity?

Tang Ya found it impossible to see through it.

Even Ye Xishui, a Death God at the Limit Douluo level, didn't notice anything unusual back then. How could Meng Hongchen possibly see the problem?
Gu Yuena was also puzzled. She couldn't understand how Meng Hongchen had figured out Ling Shuang's identity.

Ling Shuang briefly recounted to the two of them via telepathy the reasons why Meng Hongchen suspected her and her subsequent investigation.

After listening to his story, Tang Ya and Gu Yuena looked at each other in bewilderment.

It's reasonable; all the developments are based on reason and evidence. However, it's also too outrageous.

"You've used Jiang Xue's identity so cruelly, how can he still feel a sense of familiarity?!" Tang Ya complained.

She almost lost control of her facial expressions.

What does "beast" mean?
Ling Shuang's face darkened.

He admitted that Jiang Xue's character was indeed unlikable, but he couldn't say that she was a lovable character.

Although Jiang Xue's identity has indeed drawn a lot of negative opinions, upon closer examination, he has actually not done anything particularly outrageous.

You must know that Jiang Xue's identity is that of an evil soul master, and the holy son of the Holy Spirit Cult!

His so-called heinous behavior might indeed be considered terrible in a normal outside environment, but in the Holy Spirit Cult, where evil soul masters gather, he is simply an innocent and pure white flower!

During this period, in order to maintain Jiang Xue's persona as the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult, Ling Shuang did indeed have a lot of blood on her hands.

But those were all heinous criminals; Ling Shuang had never harmed innocent soul masters or civilians.

The word "birth" is a misunderstanding of him.

Sensing Ling Shuang's emotions, Tang Ya silently stopped communicating.

She also realized that Jiang Xue's character wasn't actually that resentful or hateful.

However, Jiang Xue and Ling Shuang's personalities are too different. In comparison, Tang Ya felt that Jiang Xue's character was very bad, which is why she blurted it out.

"However, isn't this Dream of the Mortal World a bit too eerie? I can't help but feel a sense of familiarity about it." Tang Ya was still puzzled by this.

Anyway, since she and Ling Shuang had become Jiang Xue, she didn't feel any sense of familiarity when they first met.

If Ling Shuang hadn't revealed her identity, she would never have guessed that Jiang Xue was Ling Shuang.

No, it's that I would never even associate these two people together!
She paused, and a guess suddenly came to her mind.

"Ling Shuang, I remember that Miss Meng seems to really like you, right?"

Ling Shuang remained silent.

Thinking about it carefully, it's true. Whether it's because of her infatuated personality or some other reason, there's no doubt that Meng Hongchen likes him.

"I'm so stupid!"

In a flash of inspiration, Tang Ya suddenly understood something.

"Miss Meng's emotions are so strong, yet she can still have such keen intuition?!"

"Could she be some kind of frost detector?"

Tang Ya's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but worry about her best friend's head.

A girl with a good background, good looks, and good talent, who also has such strong feelings for Ling Shuang, is no ordinary problem!
And judging from his appearance, he clearly wouldn't back down just because of Jiang Nannan.

She felt it necessary to mention this matter to Jiang Nannan before leaving, at least to make some preparations.

Compared to Meng Hongchen, Tang Ya was undoubtedly on the side of her best friend.

Detector...

Ling Shuang was speechless, as if he were some kind of black organization.

Ah, a dream!
