Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy (2)
"OK..."
Xiao Hongchen, I silently gaze at the sky.
I racked my brains for a long time, but still couldn't find a suitable adjective.
Finally, he managed to squeeze out one sentence. "You're amazing!"
"The problem is... you didn't even ask!" Meng Hongchen poked her finger and chuckled awkwardly, "Alright, brother, don't worry about these unimportant details. I'm leaving now, don't worry."
"Don't worry?" Xiao Hongchen was amused by Meng Hongchen's reply. "You come back here! Since I'm your brother, I don't give you permission to meet random strangers. Even if it's a woman, she's from the Dou Ling Empire. The Douluo Continent and our Sun Moon Continent have a very bad relationship. How do you know she's not part of the Dou Ling Empire's intelligence system, and that she's befriending you just to sabotage you at a crucial moment and throw Grandpa into a panic?"
"Is it really that bad?"
Meng Hongchen shrugged, looking helpless.
But you can't fight city hall.
She couldn't very well tie up her own brother.
He quickly raised his hands in surrender, adding, "Okay, okay, you can come along then. But don't go up there and label people. Although I rarely mistake people, what if I do this time?"
"No problem." Xiao Hongchen nodded. No two leaves in the world are exactly alike, but there are certainly two leaves that are extremely similar. "After we get to know each other, I won't interfere unless absolutely necessary. Is that alright?"
Meng Hongchen nodded.
He waved, signaling Xiao Hongchen to follow.
Before long, he caught up with the girl who looked very familiar to him.
"You are...?" Jiang Nannan looked at the familiar girl in front of her, surprised. Before Meng Hongchen could speak, she asked first, "Jade Toad?"
Xiao Hongchen visibly suppressed a laugh.
The pen name my sister chose is indeed strange.
No normal person would have this name.
Meng Hongchen's expression was also a bit awkward. Although the other party had mentioned her several times in the letters, it was a completely different feeling when she was actually called out in person at the meeting, "It's me, my name is Meng Hongchen, you must be Nan Nan?"
"Dream... Red Dust?" Jiang Nannan's pupils contracted, her tone becoming more serious as she emphasized the name, "What is your relationship with Jing Hongchen, the Mingde Hall?"
Actually, her relationship with Meng Hongchen can be considered a kind of fate.
Back then, after she found the jade Jade Seal Machine that Ye Qingcang had thrown out in a bottle, she became somewhat interested in this completely random form of communication.
At six years old, she was at the age where she wanted to try everything she saw. So, without telling Ye Qingcang, she secretly wrote a letter to see if he could receive Ye Qingcang. Even if Ye Qingcang didn't, she wanted to see if she could make friends thousands of miles away in this way.
After waiting for a long time without seeing her, she lost hope.
He only regarded the message in a bottle he threw away when he was six years old as a beautiful fantasy to hold onto.
No more waiting for an unknown reply every day.
Moreover, at six years old, she also has to go to school.
Ten thousand years later, the Douluo Continent still has three types of the Elementary Soul Master Academy, Intermediate Soul Master Academy, and Advanced Soul Master Academy. Shrek Academy Soul Master Academy n't the only Advanced Soul Master Academy; Heavenly Soul Empire, Dou Ling Empire, and Star Luo Empire all have their own Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy. So, although awakening Martial Soul and attending school both require tuition fees, there's no such thing as a work-study student or Soul Master subsidies, and Ye Qingcang could indeed spare the time to teach her about Soul Master knowledge, she didn't want to trouble Ye Qingcang.
Her mother told her this when she was very young.
People must be independent and self-reliant.
She was very grateful that Ye Qingcang could help her.
But she will not stop moving forward just because she can rely on Ye Qingcang.
She hoped that one day she could help Ye Qingcang.
Just like Ye Qingcang helped her when she was a child.
Unexpectedly, more than a year later, a letter actually arrived at the post office in her city from Mingdu. Although the letter did not specify who it was for, the address field was indeed filled with the address she had left back then.
Therefore, she and her friend from the Sun Moon Empire's Mingdu gradually established a good pen pal relationship. Although she didn't know how her message in a bottle had traveled to the Sun Moon Empire in a year, it didn't matter. Over the course of eight years, they exchanged more than eighty letters, roughly one a month. Gradually, they started attaching photos of each other. Although they didn't know each other's real names, they had gotten to know each other.
She never expected to meet her pen pal at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy.
Jade Toad?
If she remembered correctly, the Martial Soul of Jing Hongchen, the Mingde Hall, was a toad. Could the other party be a relative of Jing Hongchen?
"That's my grandfather." Meng Hongchen felt both excited to see her pen pal and a little ashamed. "I'm sorry I kept this from you for so long..."
"It's alright." Jiang Nannan had no grudge against Jing Hongchen, nor against the Sun Moon Empire, so she didn't take Meng Hongchen's little matter to heart. She waved her hand and introduced herself generously, "My name is Jiang Nannan, and I'm a fourth-year student at the Shrek Academy. I came to the Sun Moon Empire with a friend... And this gentleman is?"
"Xiao Hongchen." Hearing Jiang Nannan's statement, Xiao Hongchen also lowered her guard a bit. Bad people certainly wouldn't admit they were bad people, so since Jiang Nannan claimed to be a fourth-year student at the Shrek Academy, she couldn't be too malicious. This title was inherently suspicious in the Sun Moon Empire, and no one who wanted to cause trouble liked being watched by others. "Meng Hongchen is my sister, my own sister."
"By the way, where's your friend?" Meng Hongchen looked at Jiang Nannan, who was all alone, with a puzzled expression. "Is this friend of yours also a pen pal?"
Jiang Nannan throwing a message in a bottle is not unprecedented.
It's understandable that Meng Hongchen would think in this direction.
but...
"We're not pen pals." Jiang Nannan thought for a moment and realized that she couldn't connect the Jade Seal Machine with letters at all. Her relationship with Ye Qingcang was more like that of a teacher and a friend. So, she shook her head and explained, "We're very good friends. He's coming to see another friend. Since he visited me at the Shrek Academy before, I took two days off to come and see his other friend."
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen nodded in tacit agreement.
They are all people with strong personalities.
They can understand each other better.
However, before Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen could ask any more questions, they suddenly noticed a boy not far away, standing next to the Ju Zi student and teacher, Ju Zi, who had just finished class. His temperament and appearance far surpassed those of the others, making him stand out like a crane among chickens, impossible to ignore.
"So handsome!" Meng Hongchen muttered subconsciously.
As a professional appearance enthusiast.
You can question her stance, but you cannot question her aesthetic sense.
Xiao Hongchen was also momentarily dazed.
Although she quickly regained her senses, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, and was quite frightened by the fact that she had instantly shifted her attention.
"Who is he?" Meng Hongchen, a seasoned looks-obsessed person, instantly felt like she was in love, but looking at Ju Zi chatting and laughing with Ye Qingcang, she suddenly felt like she had just broken up with someone. "Could he be Ju Zi Zi's boyfriend?"
"He's my friend." Jiang Nannan's eyes sharpened instantly, and she calmly explained under Meng Hongchen's incredulous gaze, "Yes, he's the friend I just mentioned who went to the Shrek Academy to see me, and the friend who asked me to take leave to come along..."
