Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 78 He Caitou

"But, Junior Sister Jiang, how did you notice it? Just based on my last name?" He Caitou asked again curiously.

There were countless people with the surname Xu on the continent. Didn't the Xuanming Turtle family also have the surname Xu? How could she be sure that his Xu was the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire?
Jiang Qingtong shook her head and said, "Of course it's more than that. I heard about some things that happened in the past with the royal family from my teacher, so after hearing about your situation, I wondered if you might be related to that incident."

"Did your teacher tell you? This matter should be blocked in the Sun-Moon Empire, at least it cannot be mentioned casually! Junior, who is your teacher...?" He Caitou frowned slightly and asked in a low voice after hearing Jiang Qingtong's words.

When Jiang Qingtong heard this question, he looked at He Caitou and asked, "Senior, are you here to test my abilities?"

He Caitou heard this and waved his hands repeatedly, his expression becoming visibly nervous. He repeatedly argued, "No, no, no, I'm definitely not here to test your background, Jiang Xuemei, don't misunderstand me!"

Seeing He Caitou getting nervous because of his words, Jiang Qingtong sighed helplessly and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just asking. I have to be vigilant when I'm alone in Shrek Academy, right?"

"That's the truth." He Caitou rubbed his bald head and apologized to Jiang Qingtong.

Through Jiang Shengyu, Jiang Qingtong already knew that Jing Hongchen and Yan Shaozhe had met. She didn't know when Yan Shaozhe started watching her and Jing Hongchen. In this case, she could only assume that Yan Shaozhe already knew that Jing Hongchen was not her master but her senior brother.

Jiang Qingtong then stepped forward to comfort He Caitou and said to him, "My senior brother is Jing Hongchen. You've heard of Jing Hongchen, right? He's the head of Mingde Hall and the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy."

"Jing Hongchen! He is your senior brother?" He Caitou was surprised. "If Jing Hongchen is your senior brother, then your master must be..."

Jiang Qingtong nodded and said, "Yes, Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming is my master. However, my master no longer cares much about the affairs of the Sun-Moon Empire. He has retired."

He Caitou's chest heaved. The name of Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming was a household name for him, a former member of the Sun-Moon Empire's royal family.
"Retire? Silver Moon Douluo would retire? Why?"

Jiang Qingtong looked at the slightly excited He Caitou and shook his head, saying, "I don't know. Master has been in seclusion for a long time! Now people in other countries haven't even heard of his existence."

After hearing this, He Caitou fell silent, thinking about the truth behind Kong Deming's retreat.

Very few people knew that Kong Deming was researching a tenth-level soul guide. Since He Caitou had been away from the Sun-Moon Empire for so long, it was difficult for him to connect Kong Deming's retreat with the tenth-level soul guide.

Jiang Qingtong looked at him and asked, "Senior, do you have anything else to do?"

He Caitou reacted and said, "Jiang Xuemei, my suggestion just now..."

Jiang Qingtong raised her hand to stop He Caitou. She said to him, "Let me think about this matter again. My situation is different from yours. After all, the Sun-Moon Empire is my motherland."

He Caitou listened to Jiang Qingtong's words and nodded to show his understanding.

After Jiang Qingtong left, Xian Lin'er came out from the side. She patted He Caitou on the shoulder and asked, "Caitou, are you okay?" He Caitou shook his head, telling Xian Lin'er that he was fine. He then said to her, "I'm sorry, Vice Dean, I couldn't convince Jiang Xuemei to stay at Shrek Academy."

"Things like this just need to be handled step by step. It's already great to be able to get news about the Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming! I never thought that besides Jing Hongchen, there is such a big figure in the Sun-Moon Empire." Xian Lin'er sighed as she looked at the direction where Jiang Qingtong was going away.

He Caitou also nodded and agreed, "I didn't expect that Jiang Xuemei is actually a disciple of Silver Moon Douluo!"

When talking about this, He Caitou's tone was still very shocked.

Xian Lin'er looked at the shocked He Caitou, and after thinking for a moment, she said to him, "Can you tell me about the situation of that Silver Moon Douluo? It's okay if it's inconvenient, after all, this is the secret of the Sun-Moon Empire..."

"No, in fact, among the high-level officials of the Sun-Moon Empire, the existence of Silver Moon Douluo is not a secret. Many people know about it." He Caitou shook his head and said to Xian Lin'er.

Xian Lin'er smiled slightly and nodded, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go, Caitou, let's find a quiet place to talk."

Xian Lin'er brought He Caitou to the shore of Poseidon Lake. This place was very quiet, far away from the outer courtyard and also a certain distance from the inner courtyard.

He Caitou told Xian Lin'er about Kong Deming's situation: "Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming is a member of the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire. He is a powerful being with twin martial souls and the empire's most powerful ninth-level soul mentor. When I was in the Sun-Moon Empire, he had already retired and no longer cared about state affairs, leaving everything to his eldest disciple Jing Hongchen."

"The most powerful... ninth-level soul guide in the Sun-Moon Empire?" Xian Lin'er's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. The word "most powerful" really shocked her.

Yan Shaozhe had once met Jing Hongchen face to face, and he personally admitted that he couldn't defeat Jing Hongchen! Moon En even said that even Xuan Zi might not be able to keep Jing Hongchen!
This proved that even within Shrek Academy, Jing Hongchen's strength was among the top few! And there was actually someone in the Sun-Moon Empire who was even more powerful than Jing Hongchen!
They still know very little about the Sun-Moon Empire!
No, we must send more people to the Sun-Moon Empire to investigate! However, the Sun-Moon Empire is also strengthening its inspections, and it is not easy to send people in.

Xian Lin'er asked again: "Is that Silver Moon Douluo a Super Douluo?"

He Caitou shook his head and replied, "Probably not. As far as I know, when our family left the Sun-Moon Empire, His Majesty the Silver Moon Crown's cultivation level was probably level ninety-three! He's quite old now, and he probably hasn't made many breakthroughs in recent years."

Xian Lin'er paced back and forth with her hands behind her back, muttering, "Jing Hongchen is now level ninety-four. That Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming, who you mentioned is even stronger than Jing Hongchen, should also have reached level ninety-four!"

Having said that, she turned around and thanked Caitou: "Thank you, Caitou, for being willing to tell the college about this."

When He Caitou heard Xian Lin'er thanking him, he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, Vice President, you don't have to be so polite! I don't want the Sun-Moon Empire to destroy the peace of the continent. I like Shrek Academy very much. Here, I feel like home."

Xian Lin'er nodded and said, "Yes! With Shrek Academy here, the Sun-Moon Empire's ambitions will definitely not succeed!"
