Chapter 2239: A New Elder

Hua Dou Nan!

Why is this guy like a ghost? Wherever I go, I can meet him?

Bai Chen's face changed slightly and he stopped immediately.

"Mr. Jiang, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Zhiqiu was stunned.

"Uh... do you have a bamboo hat?"

"A bamboo hat?!"

"Yeah."

"..."

Meng Zhiqiu took Bai Chen to his residence first. He was playful since he was a child and collected a lot of bamboo hats in his room, black, red, blue, and all kinds of colors.

Bai Chen randomly chose a black bamboo hat and put it on his head, and then followed him out.

"Sir, why do you wear a bamboo hat? Does our Nanyue Sect have your enemies?"

Along the way, Meng Zhiqiu was very curious.

"Ah, it's about the same."

"This..."

"But if you meet someone strange later, don't show any strangeness, so as not to alert the enemy. You should still remain unchanged in the face of changes, understand?"

Stranger?

"Oh."

Meng Zhiqiu frowned deeply.

Soon, the two came to the hall. As soon as they walked to the door, a woman in red ran over from a distance like a child, then jumped and hugged Meng Zhiqiu tightly.

"Hahaha, Zhiqiu, you are finally back. I missed you so much!"

"Sister, there are outsiders here, stop making trouble..."

Meng Zhiqiu's face turned red with embarrassment when she was hugged by this unrestrained woman.

"Oh?"

The woman glanced in surprise and her eyes fell on Bai Chen: "Who is this...?"

"He is Mr. Jiang, the martial arts teacher of my Honghu Academy."

Meng Zhiqiu introduced respectfully.

His rather respectful attitude, in the eyes of the woman, made her more curious about Bai Chen.

This guy wearing a bamboo hat is not simple to be treated so politely by his arrogant brother...

"Hello, I am Meng Wushuang!"

She extended her hand in a friendly manner.

For the Central Region, shaking hands is a sign of very good relationships.

Facing Meng Wushuang's courtesy, Bai Chen smiled calmly and stretched out his hand to shake her: "My name is... Jiang Haoran."

Huh? !

Isn't Mr. Jiang's real name Jiang Xiaofan?

Could it be that his enemy is his sister? !

Meng Zhiqiu was shocked.

At this moment, a hearty laugh came from behind.

"Haha, Zhiqiu, you are finally back, let dad see you."

Bai Chen let go of Meng Wushuang's hand and turned around, only to see a middle-aged man, who was walking quickly with a bright smile.

Next to the middle-aged man, there was a middle-aged woman following, who looked very well-maintained.

Behind the woman, followed a man with a faint smile on his face, Hua Dounan!

This Hua Dounan actually no longer used the disguise technique, but restored his original appearance. However, the way this guy walked looked a bit charming...

"Dad, Mom, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Jiang from Honghu Academy, Jiang Haoran."

Meng Zhiqiu greeted Meng Guangran very rationally. His eyes only stayed on Hua Dounan for a short time before moving away.

He was extremely surprised at this moment. He didn't expect that after not coming back for many days, there was really a stranger in his home.

But how did Mr. Jiang sense his existence?

Even if a person has a strong soul power, it is impossible to sense a person so easily, right?

Unless.

Open the soul circle...

But if he opens the soul circle, how can he not sense it?

"Mr. Jiang, I am Meng Guangran, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you."

Bai Chen clasped his fist and smiled.

This guy in front of him who looks extremely gentle, is it Meng Guangran, who is rumored to have reached the level of the Ten Saints...

The leader of the martial arts world who unified Nanyue!

"Haha, since you have come to my Nanyue, don't be polite. Just treat this place as your home. You are like a father. In the future, I hope you can help Zhiqiu."

"I will definitely help him. After all, Meng Zhiqiu is the strongest student in our Honghu Academy. Whether mortals can surpass the gods in the future depends on his ability."

Bai Chen's words made Meng Guangran and his wife stunned.

They didn't want to see their son involved in the competition for the throne of Xinglan Temple.

"Ahaha, you are wrong. Although my son has good talent, he is too simple and can't take on the responsibility."

"..."

Bai Chen couldn't help but smile when he heard it.

What he meant was that he didn't want Meng Zhiqiu to enter Xinglan Temple?

But it doesn't matter, Bai Chen didn't plan to give such a genius to Xinglan Temple~

"Dad, I'm not young anymore!"

"You, you're not young anymore, but your mind is still very young!" Meng Guangran raised his hand and knocked on Meng Zhiqiu's forehead, then smiled and pulled Hua Dounan behind him over: "Zhiqiu, come, let me introduce you, this is Hua Dounan, the new elder of our Nanyue."

"Elder?!"

Hearing this, Meng Zhiqiu was stunned: "Dad, our Nanyue has always been clear about rewards and punishments. He has no merits or faults, how can he be promoted directly to elder, or is his strength worthy of this position?"

"Hehe, you~ Hua Dounan is a one-star Zhoushen realm strongman, do you think he deserves the position of elder?"

Zhoushen realm!

Hearing this, Meng Zhiqiu's face changed drastically.

However, the shocked expression only lasted for a moment, and he forced a forced smile: "It turns out that Elder Hua is so capable. It seems that my Nanyue has recruited another powerful person. It is a blessing!"

"Of course, your father is still very discerning."

Meng Guangran laughed heartily. Everyone chatted in the yard for a while. Meng Zhiqiu took Bai Chen to arrange accommodation in advance.

After leaving the villa and walking for almost three corridors, he turned around angrily: "Sir, is the enemy you are talking about that Hua Dounan?"

"Well, this person has a gloomy mind and is definitely not a good person. You can find a chance to let your father be more careful, but don't say it was me who said it."

"I know."

...

At night, the Meng family set up a banquet. Meng Guangran and his wife, Meng Zhiqiu and his sister, plus Bai Chen, a total of five people sat in the courtyard, bathing in the warm moonlight, drinking the best peach wine, and feeling very comfortable.

During the whole process, Bai Chen did not take off his bamboo hat. Although this made the people of the Meng family feel very strange, he also maintained such a strange behavior when Hua Dounan was not present, which naturally showed that his behavior was only for his own reasons, not because of Hua Dounan.

In addition, Meng Zhiqiu helped from the side and said that the master had always been like this, so everyone was naturally not surprised.

"Mr. Jiang, is our Zhiqiu particularly popular with girls in the academy?"

At the wine table, Meng Wushuang sat next to Bai Chen and asked with a smile.

"Sister!"

Seeing this, Meng Zhiqiu almost spit out a mouthful of wine.

Why is she still so gossipy...
