Chapter 161 Orange
Meng Hongchen was right. No matter whether it was the Benti Sect or Shrek, as long as Jing Hongchen heard about this, they would definitely come to rescue her.

"Poison is not enough, you shameless old man, give my granddaughter back to me!"

Huo Yuhao and Su Xiaoxiao stood side by side on the top of the mountain, staring in amazement at Jing Hongchen who kept shouting at the main gate of the Body Sect.

“I really didn’t expect that Jing Hongchen would actually dare to chase me here alone! Isn’t he afraid that this is a trap specifically targeting him?” Huo Yuhao took two bites of the melon seeds handed to him by Su Xiaoxiao and said speechlessly.

"Perhaps he is confident in his own strength. That's why he dares to come here." Su Xiaoxiao said as she handed the melon seeds to Huo Yuhao.

"That makes sense." Huo Yuhao nodded.

“Let’s go, let’s go see Miss Hongchen again.” Huo Yuhao clapped his hands, shook off the debris on his hands, and took Su Xiaoxiao into the cave where they were imprisoned.

"See? I told you that my grandfather would definitely come to save me. You better let us go immediately!" Meng Hongchen felt very confident after hearing his grandfather's voice.

“It sounds like we in the Body Sect are afraid of your grandfather.” Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes at her and then looked away from her to the other person who had woken up.

"Miss Orange, how is your stay here?" Huo Yuhao asked with interest.

"I'm different from her. I'm just an ordinary student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. It's useless for you to capture me. I'm willing to exchange all the money and soul guides I have." Orange calmly made a seemingly reasonable request.

But how could Huo Yuhao let her go?
What does her money and soul guide have to do with the overall situation? What really matters is her as a person.

“Ms. Juzi, to tell you the truth, among those captured today, Meng Hongchen can be released. That teacher can also be released, and even Ji Juechen can be released. But you can’t.” Huo Yuhao said with a smile: “You don’t understand your role.”

"What use am I? I'm just an ordinary student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy." Orange's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface.

“Ms. Orange, on the surface you are indeed a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. But don’t forget that you are still the most important person around Xu Tianran.” Huo Yuhao gently lifted up the first layer of Orange’s vest.

Orange's heart finally settled down. In fact, in Orange's view, this is his most important identity.

Up to now, Orange herself does not know that she is a genius in military affairs.

"So what? Don't you know Xu Tianran? How could a man like him be willing to spend the price to redeem me? After all, I'm just a pet he keeps casually." Orange finally stopped looking expressionless, and said to Huo Yuhao coldly with his arms folded across his chest.

“Since you also know that Xu Tianran is not a good person, why don’t you come to our Body Sect?” Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Juzi glanced at Huo Yuhao and said, "Since you know that I am the prince's man, you must also know my background. If you know that, why do you still dare to recruit me? Aren't you afraid that I will just promise in vain and then stab you in the back?"

“Speaking of your life experience, Miss Orange, I have something I want to ask you.” Huo Yuhao touched his chin and said, “In your opinion, your father died in the war with the Star Luo Empire, so you put all your hatred on the Star Luo Empire.

Have you ever thought that your father might be a deserter, and that he might have been killed by your Sun Moon Empire's war supervision team?"

"Even if he was really killed by the people of the Xing Luo Empire, was it our Xing Luo Empire that forced your father to go to the battlefield? Wasn't it the Sun and Moon Empire that forced your father to go to the battlefield?"

"It was your Xing Luo Empire who did it! If it weren't for your Xing Luo Empire leading troops to invade our Sun Moon Empire, my father wouldn't have been drafted into the army, and my family wouldn't have been broken up!" Orange's eyes were red and he said excitedly.

"Ha, our Xing Luo Empire led troops to invade your Sun Moon Empire. This is interesting. Which side started this war that lasted for thousands of years?

In the past hundred years, which invasion did we initiate?
You are invaders. You have been invading our land continuously, and yet you still have the nerve to say in front of me that you are innocent!

If that's how you calculate it, my ancestors also died in the battle with the Sun Moon Empire, so shouldn't I be obsessed with killing everyone in your Sun Moon Empire?"

Huo Yuhao's ridicule made Ju Zi's face pale. What kept Ju Zi alive all these years was her obsession with revenge. As long as she could get revenge, she would do anything.

But at this moment someone was constantly shaking her with words, trying to break her obsession with revenge.

"The war thousands of years ago is too far away from us. I only saw my father die in your Xing Luo Empire. It was your father who led the army to invade our Sun Moon Empire, which led to this war. My father died because of this war."

“Miss Orange, you are close to your Crown Prince Xu Tianran. Don’t you have a detailed understanding of the war that happened more than ten years ago? Or do you really dare to find out in detail?” Huo Yuhao took out a stack of papers from the storage soul guide. Meng Hongchen, who had suffered psychological trauma, couldn’t help but tremble when he saw the familiar papers.

"This is the cause and effect of the war that year, including who started it, how it ended, who participated in the war, and the specific time and place. There are detailed records. Miss Orange, would you like to take a look?"

"I have read the records of this war no less than 100 times! What's the point of you always showing them to me?! Do you think I'm one of those idiots from the Holy Spirit Church?" Orange angrily snatched the letter from Huo Yuhao's hand and threw it at him.

"No, no, no. I have not only the records of the Sun-Moon Empire's response to this war, but also the records of the Star Luo Empire's response to this war. Although the two sides are generally the same, there are obvious differences in the details." Then he took out another piece of letter and placed it in front of Orange.

"I guess Miss Orange must have seen the intelligence of the Moon Empire, but she probably hasn't seen the records of the Star Luo Empire."

"Miss Orange, would you like to take a look?"

Huo Yuhao handed the paper in his hand to Orange like a devil, but this time Orange was so scared that he didn't dare to touch it.

She was afraid that the results recorded above would be different from what she expected, and she was afraid that the belief that had kept her alive until today would collapse at this moment.

Revenge against the Xingluo Empire and revenge against Dai Hao, this is the obsession that has supported Orange to live until now. If it weren't for this obsession, Orange would have died on the streets.

Until today, she no longer wanted to investigate the truth of the war. She only stubbornly believed in one sentence. My father died because of that war, and that war was initiated by the Xingluo Empire. Perhaps in the original history, as Orange had more and more things, this obsession would eventually be resolved, but at this moment, Orange, who had nothing, still had a heart that was obsessed with revenge under her cynical appearance.

Huo Yuhao had read the intelligence about that war. As far as he was concerned, there was no one at fault in this war. The war started with the Sun-Moon Empire launching a sneak attack on the Xingluo Empire's base, trying to severely damage the Western Army led by Dai Hao, but Dai Hao unexpectedly seized the opportunity and in turn framed the Sun-Moon Empire's army, forcing the Sun-Moon Empire to recruit troops to prevent Dai Hao from actually capturing the border.

"Miss Orange, please think carefully about what killed your father? Was it the Sun-Moon Empire or the Star Luo Empire, or was it some other reason?"

After listening to Huo Yuhao's words, Orange curled up in a corner, falling into deep thought.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao could make a soul master so depressed with just a few words, even if Meng Hongchen was confident, he couldn't help but feel a chill at this moment.

This guy looks gentle, but he is really scary.

Grandpa, save me! I don't want to stay here!

Meng Hongchen called out loudly in his heart.

Jing Hongchen, who came from the other side, seemed to have heard Meng Hongchen's call and attacked the main gate of the body sect frantically. A few dozen meters behind him, several cannons were aimed at the main gate of the body sect and were about to be fired down when Du Bu Si finally stood up.

"What do you mean your granddaughter? I didn't see her! Old man Hongchen, you dare to come here, I'm afraid you don't want to go back!" Du Bu Si laughed wildly, standing on the top of the mountain with a fearless look.

"Du Bu Si, do you have any shame? You are a well-known strong man on the continent, but you actually attacked a little girl. If this matter gets out, your Benti Sect will probably have no chance to survive on this continent!" Jing Hongchen angrily scolded Du Bu Si.

But Du Bushi was a man who was able to do such a thing as leading the Body Sect to massacre the soul beast forest. How could he be a man who cared about his reputation?
"So what even if my Body Sect captures someone? Why don't we stay on the continent? If you want my Body Sect to stop staying on this continent, you have to eliminate me." Du Bu Si snorted coldly, expressing indifference.

"Poison is unbearable! Tell me, what are the conditions for releasing my granddaughter?" Seeing that provocation was useless, Jing Hongchen could only use a more practical method to exchange his granddaughter back.

"As for the conditions, that's easy to negotiate. Just give me a few dozen level nine soul guides and one or two level ten soul guides. And by the way, give me a dozen tons of high-quality raw materials, and that'll be all." The Poisonous Lion said loudly.

"Du Bu Si, you better explain these things in a nice way! I'm afraid that even if the Sun and Moon Empire is emptied, I won't be able to give them to you. If that's the case, then I won't make this exchange. Let's just wait for the war to start." Jing Hongchen made his final threat seriously.

He had already taken a great risk by coming here alone this time, but if he could not get his granddaughter back, he would have to change his position and become Xu Tianran's most staunch supporter, thus starting a war.

In fact, before this, Jing Hongchen had a neutral attitude towards war. Although he supported it on the surface, he did not think it was a good idea in his heart.

But at this moment, Du Bu Si's behavior seemed to be forcing him in another direction.

"Start a war? Okay, let's start a war. Do you think that my Ben Di Sect is afraid of you? If we start a war, you old man will have to stay here today." Du Bu Si was ready to fight as soon as he disagreed with something.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao quickly stood up.

"Teacher, please don't hit me. We can discuss this matter." Huo Yuhao hurried over and greeted Jing Hongchen, whom he met for the first time.

"Hello, Senior Hongchen."

“What are you doing here, kid? They might take you hostage soon. I’m afraid I’ll have to hand over everyone before I can get you back.” Huo Yuhao scolded after he arrived.

“Teacher, we need to discuss this matter. Although Meng Hongchen is pretty, she is not worthy of me as a student. There is no point in keeping her in our Benti Sect. It would be better to exchange her for some supplies.” Huo Yuhao consoled in a low voice.

Jing Hongchen felt angry and relieved when he heard what Huo Yuhao said.

This little bastard actually said that my granddaughter is not worthy of him. What a joke. There is no man in this world that my granddaughter is not worthy of him.

But he actually persuaded the poison not to kill him and released my granddaughter. Forget it, I'll just spare his life for now.

"That makes sense, but the old man won't agree to the conditions I offer." Du Bu Si said, spreading his hands.

"What do you mean by offering conditions? You're clearly asking for too much!" Hong Chen couldn't help but retort.

“Yes, teacher. The conditions refer to something that is equal to or slightly higher than the value. The one you offered is like taking over the entire Sun-Moon Empire.” Huo Yuhao stood aside and complained mercilessly.

"You are still a sensible student." Jing Hongchen said with emotion.

"Bullshit, if you have an idea just say it now, why are you beating around the bush?" He said with a curled lip.

“My idea is very simple, and the conditions must be something that Senior Hong Chen can afford.” Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"How about this, since we captured your granddaughter, you can exchange her for your grandson Xiao Hongchen, grandson for granddaughter. The value is exactly the same, and neither of us will suffer a loss."

"Get out!" Jing Hongchen attacked in anger. He originally thought that this boy was a kind-hearted person, but he didn't expect that he had more evil intentions than his teacher.

Du Bu Si blocked Jing Hongchen's attack for Huo Yuhao and said with a smile, "Yes, exchanging a grandson for a granddaughter, the value is equal, neither of us will suffer a loss. Old man, bring your grandson here quickly, and I will return your granddaughter to you."

"You son of a bitch, none of you from the Benti Sect are good!"
