Chapter 275

276. Chapter 276: Jing Hongchen Follows

An hour later, Bai Zhou disappeared into the crowd under Meng Hongchen's lingering gaze.

Meng Hongchen was in the room, tidying up her slightly messy dress, but a sweet smile played on her lips.

At least, her body was still very attractive to Bai Zhou.

Although she had been beaten to the punch by Orange, they weren't married yet, so she still had a chance...

Meng Hongchen tidied her clothes, ate a meal by herself to fill her stomach, and only then left the dessert shop with satisfaction.

Passing a corner, a figure blocked Meng Hongchen's path.

"Grand... Grandfather... why are you here?" Meng Hongchen stood frozen on the spot, completely dumbfounded, while also feeling a deep sense of guilt, subconsciously lowering her head.

"Sigh, Little Meng, that brat Bai Zhou has an unclear relationship with that little girl Orange. Are you sure you want to be with him?" Jing Hongchen rubbed Meng Hongchen's head and sighed softly.

Meng Hongchen naturally knew about this.

After all, although the matter between Bai Zhou and Orange wasn't public, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Academy was his territory, so he naturally knew about their inexplicably intimate relationship.

Orange usually kept her distance from other boys, but she was all smiles with that Bai Zhou, which said a lot.

Although he hadn't spied just now, he was an old hand in the world. Seeing Meng Hongchen's appearance, he could naturally guess what had happened in the room just now... it was nothing more than that little thing between a man and a woman.

He was also someone who had been through it; he knew that Meng Hongchen wouldn't listen to anything at this time, so he simply didn't try to persuade her too much, but instead wanted to get a definitive answer.

"Hmm... Grandfather... I really like him... I don't want to give up!" Although Meng Hongchen blushed, her eyes were full of determination.

"Alright, since you've made your decision, Grandfather will help you and definitely won't let you be wronged." Although Jing Hongchen felt helpless, he still decided to support Meng Hongchen, but he had to personally test Bai Zhou's bottom line.

After all, an excellent man would always have many women following him. That Bai Zhou was even able to make Orange devoted to him, even to the point of betraying Xu Tianran to follow him. Clearly, the other party had something going for him...

He now highly suspected that Bai Zhou was a member of the mysterious force that killed the Third Prince and the Crown Prince! It was just that there was no evidence yet.

Meng Hongchen following the other party wasn't a loss, but she absolutely couldn't be bullied, so he had to investigate clearly.

He wouldn't interfere with Meng Hongchen's feelings, but he absolutely couldn't let Meng Hongchen be deceived or bullied! This was also his bottom line!...

Mingdu, outskirts.

In a dense forest, Bai Zhou slowly stopped, then looked at the empty space behind him and said with a smile, "Hall Master Hongchen, you are, after all, the Hall Master of Mingde Hall. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to be sneaking around?"

He had actually discovered Jing Hongchen long ago, but Jing Hongchen hadn't immediately caught up after he left.

However, Bai Zhou felt that the other party's target was still him, so he didn't go back to find Orange, but instead deliberately left the city, wanting to meet Jing Hongchen alone.

"Hmph, you brat, you really were hiding something. You're definitely not a Soul Emperor, are you?" Jing Hongchen's figure slowly emerged, but his gaze toward Bai Zhou carried a trace of vigilance.

After all, he had investigated Bai Zhou before, and Bai Zhou's public information stated he was a Soul Emperor.

However, based on Bai Zhou's battle with Xiao Hongchen, he felt that Bai Zhou should have the cultivation of a peak Soul Emperor.

And now, encountering the other party again, he discovered that this person was unfathomable! When he first saw Bai Zhou, he felt a faint sense of crisis. He had originally thought this was a super trump card given to the other party by Shrek.

Only now did he discover that his previous judgment was completely wrong! That sense of crisis didn't come from some "trump card," but from Bai Zhou himself!

This guy was definitely playing the pig to eat the tiger, and even his age might be fake! Thinking of this, he immediately felt a bit of regret. If Bai Zhou was an old thing of several decades, then he would absolutely not allow Meng Hongchen to be with the other party! "Hall Master Hongchen, why have such great hostility toward me? After all, we will be family in the future." Bai Zhou felt Jing Hongchen's suddenly soaring hostility and felt speechless.

When he was being intimate with Meng Hongchen just now, Jing Hongchen hadn't had such a big reaction.

Now, God knows what the other party had imagined, making him seem like he had committed a heinous crime...

"I only ask you, was the matter of the Third Prince and the Crown Prince done by you people?" Jing Hongchen frowned and said coldly.

He used "you people" instead of "you," clearly feeling that there was a very powerful and mysterious organization behind Bai Zhou, one whose comprehensive strength could even rival the Holy Spirit Sect.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill the Third Prince and the Crown Prince so silently.

If Bai Zhou came from that mysterious force, then the other party's strength could be explained.

"It was done by us."

Bai Zhou nodded, not denying it.

Of course, it was mainly because he was afraid that if he said it was all done by him alone, Jing Hongchen wouldn't believe him and would instead feel that he lacked sincerity and was playing with him.

So Bai Zhou went along with the other party's words.

After all, it was rumored outside that the deaths of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince were the work of an evil mysterious force, which actually added a layer of cover for him, making the incident confusing and allowing Mingdu to become even more chaotic.

Now, the entire Mingdu was searching like crazy for the shadow of that mysterious force, almost turning the entire Mingdu upside down.

It was just a pity that they hadn't found a single hair.

Instead, they had dug out quite a few spies from the original three empires...

Hmm, and some unlucky evil soul masters who were wanted were also caught.

Bai Zhou could clearly feel the slight fluctuation of his own fate. Clearly, a large number of people had been cursing him collectively these days, causing his fate to be affected by a tiny bit...

"What is your purpose? Could it be that you want to rebel?" Jing Hongchen frowned and continued to ask.

He had originally only had a tiny bit of suspicion, but he hadn't expected it to really be the work of the other party's force. This was difficult to handle.

"Hall Master Hongchen, there are some things you are better off not knowing. This is for your own good." Bai Zhou shook his head gently, not answering.

If he really stated his purpose, Jing Hongchen would definitely fight him to the death.

It wasn't the time yet. Bai Zhou didn't want to expose his full strength, and he didn't want to cripple Jing Hongchen right now, so as not to hurt their relationship.

After all, there was a high probability they would be family in the future, so it was better to save some face.

After Bai Zhou finished speaking, he moved his feet, pretending to run away.

"Hmph, don't even think about leaving today without making it clear!" Jing Hongchen snorted coldly, his terrifying aura erupting, and he grabbed straight toward Bai Zhou.
