Chapter 182 I've Only Ever Given It to You
Are you looking for me?
Meng Hongchen's body stiffened, and she slowly turned her head to look in the direction of the clean voice.
A handsome young man with a black ponytail and a somewhat aloof demeanor was quietly watching her from a short distance behind her.
Those deep blue eyes, with their gentle gaze and occasional glimmers of starlight, left an indelible impression on everyone who saw them. They were like brilliant stars in a tranquil night sky, silently twinkling alone, their opening and closing revealing a fleeting moment of beauty.
Meng Hongchen stared blankly at Huo Yuhao with a slightly flushed face, momentarily lost in thought and forgetting to respond to his question.
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly. He glanced at her helplessly and repeated his words, "Miss Meng Hongchen? I didn't call you by the wrong name, did I? May I ask what you need me for?"
Hearing Huo Yuhao call her name, this somewhat naive and adorable girl belatedly came to her senses. After realizing her rude behavior, Meng Hongchen's already slightly flushed face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple.
Immediately, Meng Hongchen lowered her head, bowing repeatedly and apologizing, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It was my rudeness!"
"It's alright, but is there something you need? I've noticed you've been following me."
Seeing that her actions had been directly exposed, Meng Hongchen became so agitated that her vision blurred, and she stammered, "I, I, I am, Meng, Meng Hongchen! It's, it's so nice to meet you! Can, can we be friends?"
After intermittently explaining her thoughts, Meng Hongchen placed her two delicate white hands together in front of her chest, her two thumbs unconsciously starting to twirl.
Huo Yuhao was also helpless. If he had known Meng Hongchen would react this way, he would have just run back to the Star Emperor Hotel. Now he was in a dilemma, unable to leave or stay, and he also had to save face for the girl and clean up the mess properly.
"We may be rivals on the field, but we can be friends off the field. I am very interested in your academy's cutting-edge theories and technologies in soul tools, especially Senior Jing Hongchen's soul tool skills, which I have long admired. If there is an opportunity for exchange students in the future, I would really like to visit you."
Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen trembled, abruptly raising her head to look at Huo Yuhao with an expression of utter astonishment. She asked rapidly, "You know my grandfather? You're also a Soul Master?"
Huo Yuhao was startled by her reaction, but under the cover of the simulation, he did not lose his composure in front of Meng Hongchen. He nodded slightly, then extended his hand and smiled in response, "Let me introduce myself, Huo Yuhao, a level three Soul Master, twelve years old this year. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Meng Hongchen."
Meng Hongchen, her pretty face flushed, reached out her right hand and grasped Huo Yuhao's outstretched hand. As she grasped it, she didn't forget to squeeze, touch, and caress it a little...
What's most outrageous is that although this girl's face was flushed, her hands weren't exactly behaving properly. At that moment, she was acting like a lecherous old man, shamelessly groping and taking advantage of Huo Yuhao.
Although her movements were slow and deliberate, this time Huo Yuhao wasn't startled. Meng Hongchen smiled sweetly with an exceptionally ladylike demeanor and said softly, "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Meng Hongchen, fourteen years old, and a fourth-level Soul Master. If you ever have the chance to come as an exchange student, I'll take you to Mingdu for a visit."
"Then I'll take your good wishes. If there really is a chance, Senior Meng, please don't let me not be able to find you."
Meng Hongchen blinked, took out a toad-shaped jade pendant from her wine-red gemstone bracelet, and handed it to Huo Yuhao, saying with a smile, "Take this to Mingde Hall to find me. Keep it safe, okay? This is a token I've only ever given to you. If you lose it and someone else gets it and comes looking for you, I won't let you off the hook!"
Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded. What token? What do you mean it was only given to me?
Just as Huo Yuhao stood there in a daze, Meng Hongchen smiled and secretly pinched Huo Yuhao's cheek. Then, like a happy little bird, she hopped away as if fleeing.
"Sister's waiting for you in Mingdu! You can't go back on your word! Bye-bye! See you on the field!"
The farewell words, transmitted through soul power, reached Huo Yuhao's ears, and the light and bright voice made him somewhat lost in thought.
When he came to his senses and went to look for Meng Hongchen again, he found that the girl had already disappeared. Huo Yuhao shook his head with a wry smile, put the jade token in his hand into his soul tool, and set off back to the hotel.
After the match ended and Huo Yuhao returned to the hotel, the women who had entered meditation the previous night and Wang Dong'er, who had fallen into a deep sleep, had not yet woken up.
Left with no other choice, Huo Yuhao had to go to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion alone. Since he was alone, Huo Yuhao had a simple lunch at the hotel restaurant before setting off.
Unlike before when he strolled around leisurely, without Zhang Lexuan, Huo Yuhao traveled at full speed. Once he left Star Luo City, he donned his flying soul tool and sped off.
It was only a few hours before he arrived at the Duke's mansion.
Huo Yuhao arrived at the inner palace with practiced ease, intending to find an opportunity to subdue Dai Luoli and give him the Bone Refining Pill. However, when he arrived at Dai Luoli's courtyard, he couldn't find her even after scanning the area with his spiritual sense.
Huo Yuhao frowned and drove around the small courtyard in a simulator for quite a while, but he waited and waited and still didn't see Dai Luoli.
With no other options, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to wander around other parts of the inner palace in search of someone.
Leaving the small courtyard, Huo Yuhao carefully reduced the simulation range and detection range, and walked deeper into the inner palace.
The inner courtyard of the White Tiger Duke's mansion was not small. In addition to Dai Hao's family, there were two uncles and nephews from collateral branches living there, as well as several elders from other surnames, led by Fan Zhixie.
If you include the servants and maids who serve this large group of people, you can imagine how many people there must be, and how big the inner palace must be.
In addition, there are several core branches of the White Tiger lineage that have crossed the fifth degree of kinship, as well as the outer residences of the elders and relatives of other surnames who are loyal to the White Tiger Duke lineage.
The entire White Tiger Duke's mansion covers a very large area.
Even if Huo Yuhao only wanted to find someone in the inner palace, it would still take him a lot of effort. Moreover, he couldn't be sure if there were any Title Douluos here, so he had to be extremely cautious in his search.
Huo Yuhao quietly made his way to a rockery garden, and just as he was about to rest, he discovered a very fresh bloodstain right where he was about to sit...
