Chapter 314: Admonition to Meng Hongchen

Soon, the two teams collided.

As expected, when the opposing team members saw Tang Wulin, they all looked like they had seen a ghost.

Five years ago, it was Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, the two youngest reserve team members, who cut off their seniors' path to the championship, and they could never forget the psychological shadow these two monsters left on them.

At this moment, seeing the two again, their expressions instantly stiffened.

And the ones whose expressions changed the most were the genius brother-sister pair Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen; as exchange students heading to Shilake Academy, they knew about Tang Wulin's disappearance, and they never dreamed they could see him again before the match.

Xiao Hongchen's face darkened at once; one Huo Yutong already gave their Royal Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy enough trouble, and adding Tang Wulin instantly made their already low chance of victory even lower.

Meng Hongchen, meanwhile, blinked in disbelief, then turned into a whirlwind and rushed toward Tang Wulin.

Seeing she was about to reach Tang Wulin, a figure blocked her.

She stared for a moment, then shouted angrily:

"Huo Yutong, what are you doing!"

Huo Yutong said calmly:

"Stop the flirtatious cat from getting close to my boyfriend."

Saying that, she gave a disdainful smile.

"Oh no, you actually dare to do this in front of me; for this courage, you're not a flirtatious cat but a fox spirit."

"You!"

Meng Hongchen instantly flew into a rage, subconsciously wanting to strike, but her wrist was grabbed by Xiao Hongchen.

He urgently said: "Stop, Meng! Calm down!"

He absolutely could not let Meng Hongchen and Huo Yutong start fighting here.

In the match before leaving Shilake Academy, Xiao Hongchen had already fully realized he could not defeat Huo Yutong; when he discovered that even using the Soul Fusion Technique together with his sister could not beat Huo Yutong alone, he understood that at least for the short term, he could not overcome this mountain that was Huo Yutong.

With Meng Hongchen's current strength, it is absolutely impossible to defeat Huo Yutong; the odds are no longer a matter of high or low, but absolute zero.

There is no need to fight a battle that is certain to be lost.

Meng Hongchen's eye sockets reddened involuntarily.

She also knew Xiao Hongchen's judgment was correct, but she simply could not control her emotions.

Even if she had personally seen Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong kissing before her eyes, even if Tang Wulin had personally rejected her, she did not give up, but chose to persist in her pursuit.

But when she learned of Tang Wulin's disappearance and saw Huo Yutong's miserable state, even she could not help but let go of this feeling.

After all, the dead cannot be revived; she could not devote her entire life to Tang Wulin alone.

But who would have thought that a few months later today, she would see Tang Wulin again, and he not only was unharmed but even looked more handsome.

This left her completely unable to calm down.

Tang Wulin secretly sighed in his heart.

Seeing Meng Hongchen like this, he also felt somewhat reluctant.

As for her affection, he could absolutely not accept it, but making her like this was also truly not his wish; ultimately, he still had to resolve this matter himself.

He lightly patted Huo Yutong's shoulder; Huo Yutong understood and nodded, stepping aside.

"Tang… Tang Wulin… I…"

Seeing the living Tang Wulin standing right before her eyes, Meng Hongchen instead felt at a loss.

Indeed, today's events far exceeded her expectations.

Tang Wulin did not wait for her, but seriously called her name.

"Meng Hongchen."

"En!"

Meng Hongchen quickly responded. Tang Wulin said gently:

"Look behind you."

"?"

Meng Hongchen was a bit doubtful, but since Tang Wulin said so, she obediently turned her head as he instructed.

Then her heartbeat suddenly missed a beat.

She saw the members of the Royal Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy with puzzled expressions.

Meng Hongchen could easily imagine what they were thinking now; they probably could not understand what relationship she had with Tang Wulin, a member of Shilake Academy.

Tang Wulin's voice came from behind her.

"Do you see? Your teammates are doubtful; since their doubts are caused by you, as the vice-captain of the Royal Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy team, you have the duty to answer their doubts, steady morale, rather than deepen them."

He paused, then spoke earnestly: "Meng Hongchen, you are already twenty years old, not a child; you should consider facing your responsibilities, and stop being naive."

Having said that, he no longer paid attention to Meng Hongchen's reaction, taking Huo Yutong and the other Shilake Academy members and continuing forward.

As he passed Meng Hongchen's side, she opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she closed it.

Xiao Hongchen, meanwhile, gave him a deep look and, as he passed by, said softly:

"Although I still can't stand you, thank you."

Although Xiao Hongchen is proud and arrogant, somewhat rash, he is not indiscriminate; he could still sense the kindness in Tang Wulin's words toward Meng Hongchen, and also understand Tang Wulin's intentions.

Perhaps the two sides could never become friends, but at least now he is willing to express gratitude to Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin smiled faintly.

"You'd better save that thanks for when I knock you off the stage."

Xiao Hongchen: "……"

Indeed, he still finds this kid displeasing to the eye.

But speaking of which……

Xiao Hongchen's gaze drifted to the ever-silent Di Yun'er.

Meng Hongchen lost her wits at first sight of Tang Wulin, so she didn't notice Di Yun'er, but Xiao Hongchen quickly noticed this girl who looked eighty percent like Tang Wulin after seeing him.

What is her relationship with Tang Wulin? Could she be his sister? Tang Wulin and Di Yun'er—this time Shǐ léi kè has actually shown two unexpected variables; it seems this tournament journey will be harder than originally imagined.

Tang Wulin walked forward while softly calling in his heart: "Yutong."

Huh?

You're not angry, are you?

No.

Really?

Seeing his cautious appearance, Huo Yutong let out a pfft.

"Really, what do I have to be angry about?"

Huo Yutong indeed feared that Tang Wulin would be snatched away by other girls, but she never thought Tang Wulin would fall for someone else.

It sounds contradictory, but this is indeed her current mental state.

So regarding Meng Hongchen, she actually doesn't have as much hostility as she shows.

She did that just to show off; after all, she didn't really take Meng Hongchen's matter to heart.

She once again tightened her grip on Tang Wulin's hand.

"Don't worry, your girlfriend is quite broad-minded."
