There were countless geniuses in this world, especially in this era of the Peerless Tang Clan. If Huo Yuhao had not been so good at exploiting cheats, and if Tang San had not intervened countless times to prevent unification...
This era absolutely belonged to the Sun Moon Empire. Among the finest geniuses, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen would surely have their place. Ju Zi would definitely accomplish the great cause of unification that Bibi Dong had failed to achieve, becoming the first empress of the Douluo Continent to leave her name through the ages!
Unfortunately, the Douluo Continent had given birth to that utter trash, Tang Gou.
He only knew how to take and consume, never how to give anything back.
Jin Tianming coldly watched Xiao Hongchen, who stood trembling in place. If he did not crush this little guy's confidence now, then after Huo Yuhao crushed it later and he directly took medicine to advance to Soul Saint, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Seeing his grandson like this, Jing Hongchen truly could not bear to look.
Still, he did not understand why Jin Tianming had helped him today, nor why he was now helping his grandson.
He was thoroughly puzzled.
"Don't bully my brother!"
A silver-haired girl ran out of the room. Seeing her brother standing there, trembling in fear, she immediately assumed that the young man standing opposite him was bullying her brother.
A wave of icy chill swept toward Jin Tianming.
Jin Tianming casually waved a hand, and the terrifying power of the Golden Dragon instantly shattered the chill. His gaze calmly shifted away from Xiao Hongchen and settled on the silver-haired girl.
So this is Meng Hongchen, the one obsessed with looks. I wonder whether she likes my original body's face, especially the silver-haired version. With that thought, Jin Tianming immediately walked toward the silver-haired girl.
Jing Hongchen immediately stepped in front of Meng Hongchen, shielding his granddaughter behind him to prevent Jin Tianming from doing anything indecent.
Xiao Hongchen:
Grandpa, am I not a person? Am I not your biological grandson?
How could you treat us so differently?
Ignoring Jing Hongchen's reaction, Jin Tianming walked around him, crouched down, and looked at Meng Hongchen, who was timidly staring at him. He said gently, "Little sister, want me to introduce you to a super handsome guy?"
Jing Hongchen: ???
Meng Hongchen: "Really? For real?"
But after looking Jin Tianming up and down, she whispered, "But I don't like guys like you, big brother."
Without another word, Jin Tianming gathered a strand of Soul Power between two fingers and tapped Meng Hongchen on the forehead.
Jing Hongchen tried to stop him, but it was already too late. He could only watch as Jin Tianming tapped his granddaughter's forehead.
He really was a failure as a grandfather!
Jin Tianming had not done anything to Meng Hongchen. He had merely used Spiritual Power to show her what Tian Mucheng looked like. With looks like his original body's, Meng Hongchen would definitely like him.
Sure enough, just as Jin Tianming had expected, Meng Hongchen fell in love with Tian Mucheng's appearance at first sight! She eagerly asked, "Big brother, who is that incredibly handsome brother? Can you introduce Meng to him?"
Handsome brother?
I'm the big brother.
Jing Hongchen glared at Jin Tianming with an unhappy expression. This guy was clearly his natural nemesis. He had come to his home today, scared his precious grandson stiff, and now he was trying to use a handsome man to lure away his precious granddaughter.
This was simply the greatest humiliation!
"His name is Tian Mucheng! I'll introduce you to him when there's time."
"Okay, okay!"
Meng Hongchen said excitedly, then took out a Spatial Soul Tool ring and handed it to Jin Tianming. "Big brother, can you give this Soul Tool to Brother Tian Mucheng? Tell him it's Meng's token of love!"
Jing Hongchen: Pfft.
His heart was bleeding.
Why had his granddaughter become like this?!
He regretted it. He regretted bringing this young man to meet his grandson and granddaughter.
Jin Tianming accepted the ring and gave Jing Hongchen a strange look, as if asking whether his granddaughter was really that easy to fool.
"..." Jing Hongchen suppressed the fury in his heart, grabbed Jin Tianming, and headed toward his family's office area. He really needed to have a proper talk with this guy.
He deeply despised this behavior of taking everything he could get his hands on!
God Realm
"Why has the Sun Moon Empire's fate changed again?" Tang San was deeply puzzled, but after looking toward the Star Luo Empire, he thought, Forget it. With my future dog of a son-in-law and the in-laws there, the Sun Moon Empire has nothing to fear!
Jin Tianming sat in the chair opposite Jing Hongchen and casually picked up the tea leaves on the table to brew himself some tea.
Seeing how familiar Jin Tianming acted, Jing Hongchen covered his forehead, feeling a terrible headache coming on. Put nicely, this young man was a little arrogant. Put bluntly, he was utterly lawless.
He truly did not know why the force behind him had raised him this way.
Without a Titled Douluo serving as his guard, he would die somewhere along the path of cultivation sooner or later.
Once Jin Tianming had finished brewing the tea, Jing Hongchen got straight to the point. "Why are you helping me?"
"Because I feel like it!" Jin Tianming answered after taking a sip of tea, his tone utterly casual.
Jing Hongchen did not know what to say in response.
It seemed he needed to make himself clearer.
"What exactly is your purpose?"
Hearing the question, Jin Tianming understood that Jing Hongchen no longer wanted to beat around the bush and was ready to discuss serious business.
"Very simple!" Jin Tianming set down his teacup and answered with a smile, "I want you and your descendants to join us!"
Jing Hongchen was surprised and confused by the answer. He had thought this young man was going to make some outrageous demand again, but this was even more excessive than before!
Without waiting for Jing Hongchen to speak, Jin Tianming continued, "If you choose to join us, I have a way to get you a treasure that will help you break through to Rank 95. I can also help your grandson and granddaughter evolve their martial souls ahead of time. If your granddaughter truly likes the Holy Lord, I can help her obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"
"The Holy Lord? That Tian Mucheng?"
"That's right! He's the person I will protect in the future!"
Seeing the confusion on Jing Hongchen's face, Jin Tianming explained.
"Sorry, I refuse." Though Jing Hongchen was deeply tempted, he still chose to refuse. "I may not have much affection for the Sun Moon Royal Family, but this is still my country. It is the country that raised me!"
In Jing Hongchen's heart, his grandson and granddaughter were indeed more important than the interests of the Sun Moon Empire, but that did not mean he would betray his country for those benefits.
Clap, clap, clap.
After hearing that answer, Jin Tianming did not try to persuade Jing Hongchen. Instead, he applauded.
"Hall Master Jing, your choice truly earns my admiration. If you won't do it, then perhaps your grandson or granddaughter can join?"
Hearing Jin Tianming's words, Jing Hongchen naturally understood his true purpose. This guy had been targeting his grandson and granddaughter from the very beginning. He himself was merely an extra.
"If they are willing, then naturally they can." Jing Hongchen ultimately nodded in agreement. His own resistance to temptation did not mean his grandson and granddaughter could not join Jin Tianming's faction.
One thing was one thing; the comparison was obvious.
When the time came, could he not simply have his granddaughter or grandson ask that faction for some materials to help him break through?
Seeing that he had successfully talked him around, Jin Tianming inwardly sighed in relief. His true purpose in meeting Kong Deming had been this, especially Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. The fortune surrounding those two was truly abundant!
Kong Deming: ???
Thanks for the votes.
