Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 28 The Dispute Over Grilled Fish
"Hehe, I heard that Xiao Hongchen started studying diligently for the fifth-level Soul Master course because Huo Yuhao broke his record. I saw Xiao Hongchen at the library last time."

For the students present, Huo Yuhao was a boy who naturally attracted attention, not only because he broke the record, but also because he made Xiao Hongchen suffer a setback.

In the academy, Xiao Hongchen was indeed a genius. However, he was too arrogant and always acted as if he was the best in the world and everyone else was trash. As a result, he did not handle interpersonal relationships well. Therefore, some people naturally hoped to see him suffer a little setback and thus dampen his arrogance.

As for Ju Zi, because she is good-looking, is a disciple of Xuan Ziwen, the chief researcher of Mingde Hall, and has a big sycophant named Zi Mu around her all day long, Ju Zi is also very famous in the academy.

But when everyone saw Ju Zi's teary eyes and red eyes, and then connected it with what Meng Hongchen had just said, everyone's gaze towards Huo Yuhao gradually became strange.

"I didn't expect Huo Yuhao to hook up with Senior Ju Zi at such a young age. Is this a case of a young bull eating old grass?"

"What exactly did Huo Yuhao do to make Senior Sister Ju cry? Could it be that Huo Yuhao had a romantic relationship with Senior Sister Ju before, and now he's going to abandon her?"

These students were generally quite young, and were in the stage of life where their curiosity was at its peak, so they immediately engaged in a heated discussion.

Listening to these rumors, Huo Yuhao felt helpless. He thought to himself that if this continued, he would be branded as a scumbag from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and he would be unable to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. After all, the saying "three men make a tiger" could still happen even in this world.

So he said loudly, "Senior Meng, what you're saying makes it sound like I'm bullying Senior Orange! In front of so many people, I can vouch for you with my integrity. The reason Senior Orange cried is because she felt that the grilled fish I made was so delicious. That's called crying tears of joy!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen immediately became interested. "Oh? Is it really that delicious? If what you say is true, your cooking skills are indeed quite good. I haven't eaten yet, so can you give me five skewers of grilled fish?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately picked up five skewers of grilled fish, put them into a metal plate, and handed them to Meng Hongchen.

Just as Meng Hongchen was about to take the grilled fish, Ju Zi reached out and snatched the metal plate full of grilled fish.

Then Orange stood in front of the grill, blocking Meng Hongchen. She stared at Meng Hongchen, looking like she was protecting her food. She parted her red lips and her soft voice rang out: "Yuhao promised me that this meal was for me! So, these grilled fish are mine! Miss Meng, even if you are the dean's granddaughter, sometimes you should be reasonable."

The orange is still young, and its maturity cannot compare to that of the future emperor and war goddess who will dominate the battlefield.

Moreover, Ju Zi is the kind of woman who gets jealous very easily and will immediately show it. In the original novel, even though the Empress and the God of War knew that Huo Gua's real girlfriend was Tang Wutong, they would deliberately say a few sarcastic things about Tang Wutong in front of Huo Gua.

Therefore, Ju Zi found Meng Hongchen's attempt to eat grilled fish together unacceptable. She felt as if something Huo Yuhao had promised her had suddenly been taken away by another woman. Moreover, the grilled fish Huo Yuhao had promised her contained the taste of her father!
Meng Hongchen was stunned for a moment, then gave Ju Zi a deep look. She also lost her temper. As the granddaughter of Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, she had been spoiled since childhood. Although her temper was better than Xiao Hongchen's, she was not without temper.

If the orange in front of her were an extremely handsome male Soul Master, Meng Hongchen would immediately bow and apologize without hesitation, perhaps even offering a gift as compensation. After all, she's a sucker for good looks; of course, her standards for appearance are very high. By her criteria, "extremely handsome" means perfect looks. Does such a person really exist?
For Meng Hongchen, she had never met such a person in her life so far, so naturally she could not back down to Ju Zi.

"Ju Zi, no matter what, it was Junior Yuhao who cooked the grilled fish, right? Did you ask Junior Yuhao's opinion before doing this?" Meng Hongchen's face showed a faint smile. "I think sometimes people should learn to respect others, don't you think, Ju Zi?"

Orange snorted, "Miss Meng, you don't need to worry about this. This is between Yuhao and me, and it has nothing to do with you!"

She wasn't worried about Xu Tianran finding out about these words. After all, she was just Xu Tianran's subordinate now, and there was still a long way to go before she became the Crown Princess. She knew very well that Xu Tianran was a cold-hearted person who treated everyone as a tool. Even she, who was deeply trusted by Xu Tianran, was actually one of Xu Tianran's tools.

"Ju Zi, come and fight me at the Soul Arena. Whoever wins gets the grilled fish!" Meng Hongchen's expression changed slightly, and he placed his hand on the Soul Guidance Gun at his waist.

Orange shook her head. "I'm no match for Miss Meng. Besides, these grilled fish were originally given to me by Yuhao. Why should I fight you to decide who gets them?"

"Miss Meng, if you like grilled fish, you can easily buy it from the cafeteria with your money! Of course, if Miss Meng insists on using her power and status to forcibly seize it, then I will have no choice but to fight back against the dean's granddaughter's oppression!"

"Ju Zi!" Meng Hongchen glared fiercely at Ju Zi, her breathing somewhat unsteady. After all, she was only a thirteen-year-old girl, and she couldn't compare to Ju Zi, a young empress and war goddess, in terms of mental fortitude.

"Alright, alright, senior sisters, stop arguing. I can grill some more fish so everyone can have some. After all, I bought a lot of fresh fish, and it would be a waste if we didn't grill and eat them right away." Huo Yuhao was also a little helpless. He walked to the two of them and gave his suggestion.

"For Huo Yuhao's sake, I won't bother with certain people! After all, some people are even more petty than the Soft Bone Rabbit of the Star Dou Great Forest!" Meng Hongchen said calmly, her arms crossed.

Orange snorted and didn't say anything more. Her appetite was limited, and finishing the grilled fish that had already been cooked was her limit.

So she gave Huo Yuhao face and walked to the grill to slowly savor the remaining grilled fish, a happy expression occasionally appearing on her face.

The students nearby were stunned by what they saw. They wondered what was going on. Why did Ju Zi and Meng Hongchen seem to be at odds? Could it be that Huo Yuhao had not only hooked up with Ju Zi, but also with Meng Hongchen?

It's not surprising that these students thought that way. After all, it's almost unimaginable that two famous beauties from the academy would have such a huge argument over a skewer of grilled fish, and even almost come to blows.
