A Gift for Zhuqing, An... An Engagement? [4K]

"Sect Master Ning."

"Wulin and I have other matters to attend to in Heaven Dou City tonight, so there's no need to trouble your sect to make arrangements."

Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke softly, his words carried a cold snort.

A banquet!?

If a banquet is truly held, it won't be as simple as just eating. That little fox Ning Fengzhi will probably say something that's worthy of my daughter's age...

Hehehe, the boss had these ideas a long time ago, and Ning Fengzhi naturally couldn't escape his discerning eyes.

Tang Wulin didn't seem to care much about this either.

After all, whether he stayed for a meal or not wasn't that important to him; the mere fact that Senior Golden Crocodile came here was enough to warrant Ning Fengzhi's attention.

Moreover, it's true...

The only thing that could truly move the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School was the Aromatic Silk Beauty, which could bring about a huge change for Rongrong.

"Is that so...?"

"Alright."

Seeing that he was rejected by Golden Crocodile Douluo, Ning Fengzhi was a little disappointed, but he immediately agreed and was not too discouraged.

After all, given the status of the person before them, who has not been active in the Soul Master World for almost a century, it's fine if they don't wish to linger.

However, judging from what the other party just said, the two of them will stay in Heaven Dou City afterward. Since Rongrong is going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, why not go to Heaven Dou City together today?

Perhaps the two will have more interactions in the future.

"..."

Not long after, Tang Wulin walked out of the Council Hall, and two young girls were looking at him from the Small Pavilion outside the hall, as if they were waiting for him.

Noticing their gazes, Tang Wulin smiled slightly and silently walked over. The Golden Crocodile Douluo beside him also smiled helplessly and then disappeared into the shadows.

"Brother Tang, over here."

Ning Rongrong also saw him coming out of the hall, and immediately waved and said with a smile.

"Brother Tang."

What did my dad and the others say to you?

As Tang Wulin approached them, Ning Rongrong smiled and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity, as did Zhu Zhuqing.

"They didn't say much. Uncle Ning originally wanted me and Senior Golden Crocodile to stay for dinner, but I have to go back to Heaven Dou City afterward..."

Tang Wulin smiled and shook his head, then slowly said.

"I see."

Ning Rongrong seemed thoughtful, clearly understanding the significance of the people eating at the sect's restaurant, but...

I never expected my father to be rejected!

Brother Tang has already eaten with me many times, so in this respect, I, the young sect leader, am more capable than my father, the sect leader.

"Will Brother Tang stay in Heaven Dou City for a while...? Zhu Zhuqing and I will also be staying Heaven Dou City later. It's close to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and we're going there to check it out tomorrow."

"After that, we should all be joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

The next moment, upon hearing that the other party was going back to Heaven Dou City, Ning Rongrong blinked. So, perhaps they could meet again in Heaven Dou City!

Thinking about this, she felt quite good.

Being able to be with my best friend Zhu Zhuqing and also have the chance to see Brother Tang is a great thing!

"Fine."

"The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is indeed very good. I also know a friend who is a student at Heaven Dou; you can get to know her too."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin nodded.

Perhaps the overall quality of the Heaven Dou Empire is indeed the worst, but as the Heaven Dou's Number One Academy, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's resources are still quite good...

With a complete set of Simulated Cultivation Grounds, plus three top-tier Educational Committee at the Soul Douluo level, it is indeed the strongest academy besides Spirit Hall Academy.

"Hey, he's Brother Tang's friend!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback and silently made a mental note of it. She hadn't expected that Brother Tang would have friends studying at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Brother Tang, you'll probably be staying in Heaven Dou City..."

"Rongrong, come here for a second."

Just then, Ning Rongrong was about to ask how long the other party would stay in Heaven Dou City, but before she could finish speaking, a middle-aged man's figure emerged from the main hall, and his voice reached her ears.

It was his father, Ning Fengzhi.

"Hmm? Coming! Brother Tang, Zhu Zhuqing, wait for me a moment, I'll be right back..."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong was taken aback, but she still responded and headed towards where her father was.

Only Tang Wulin and his companion remained in the original location.

"Brother Tang, how many days will you be staying in Heaven Dou City?"

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the person in front of her and asked the same question as Ning Rongrong.

"About ten days to two weeks, that's the most I can manage, since I spend most of my time in Spirit City..."

Tang Wulin pondered for a moment, and finally spoke slowly.

His main goal in coming to Heaven Dou City this time was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and he also wanted to sign in to receive some rewards from the goddesses of Heaven Dou City.

After that, it was Senior Golden Crocodile who wanted to take him to see the person in the Imperial Palace, and similarly...

Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing before him, was also someone he cared about.

It might sound shameless to say this, but in reality, he did want to lure the other person back to Spirit City.

"Spirit City..."

"You'll be back in ten days to two weeks at most?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's expression froze, and she nodded somewhat blankly. She knew the other party wouldn't stay for long, but she hadn't expected it to be only ten days to half a month.

That's way too short...

At this moment, the thought of not wanting to stay at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy also began to stir within her.

"Of course."

"After all, cultivation is the most important thing."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world, as he spent most of his time cultivating at his residence.

After all, in any place, might makes right.

"I know, I will cultivate diligently..."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing nodded in deep agreement and responded, but after saying this, an unnatural look flashed across her face.

"However, Brother Tang..."

Actually, I don't really want to be at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The next moment, she pursed her lips and said, a hint of shyness flashing in her eyes.

"Um?"

"Do you feel this college isn't very good?"

Tang Wulin seemed to be deep in thought. There were indeed too few geniuses at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. They were all from families of high-ranking officials and nobles, and outstanding students were indeed very rare.

No.

"I want to join... the Spirit Hall."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, her gaze falling on the person in front of her, and said in a somewhat uneasy tone.

"The Spirit Hall?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin was immediately taken aback.

You should know that the other party should absolutely not have such thoughts, unless it's because...

He?

Is it because Zhu Zhuqing is in the Spirit Hall that he wants to join, rather than with Rongrong?

"Zhu Zhuqing, is it because of me?"

At that moment, Tang Wulin looked in the direction of the person in front of him, stood up, and couldn't help but ask.

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing's face was already flushed, and she seemed to lose her tongue after the other person looked at her.

"I..."

I want to become stronger with you.

Even so, facing Tang Wulin's gaze, Zhu Zhuqing bravely raised her head, her face flushed with embarrassment, yet she still spoke firmly.

She wanted to become stronger, she always had, so being a student at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy wasn't a problem, but...

She preferred to be with him.

That's why she felt the Heaven Dou Royal Academy wasn't that good. While the academy was indeed highly regarded within the Heaven Dou Empire, in her opinion...

The fact that Brother Tang isn't around is already the biggest drawback.

Of course, in her own eyes, her talent was also a major weakness; even if she joined the Spirit Hall, she would probably still be the most mediocre person imaginable...

"Zhu Zhuqing..."

Looking at the determined girl in front of him, Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment, and hesitated to speak.

He clearly hadn't expected the girl in front of him to deliver such a direct shot while so shy.

This is considered...

Did she reveal her own secret feelings?

"If you want to join the Spirit Hall, you're welcome anytime."

Tang Wulin let out a long breath and smiled gently.

"I..."

I will do my best!

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing blushed and nodded, softly saying that she would definitely do her best...

After all, Brother Tang is so amazing. If she wants to improve alongside him, she'll have to put in even more effort!

"Then I'll join the Spirit Hall after I get stronger, okay? My current cultivation level might not be high enough, so it'll have to be later."

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, a smile on her rosy face, and blinked, revealing an unexpected and adorable side.

As long as Brother Tang is willing to become stronger together with her...

She was very happy!

"Actually, it didn't need to be that late."

Hearing this, Tang Wulin smiled and shook his head. It seemed that Zhu Zhuqing was still worried about his talent.

But clearly, he had already considered this.

If you lack talent, you'll need opportunity to make up for it!

"Oh no, Zhu Zhuqing and Wulin are really..."

Meanwhile, in the shadows, watching Tang Wulin with Zhu Zhuqing, Golden Crocodile Douluo was filled with mixed emotions.

Let's leave Ning Fengzhi's daughter aside for now.

After all, her relationship with Wulin is quite harmonious. It can only be said that for now, they are just ordinary friends, and it shouldn't affect Miss's status.

But that Zhu Zhuqing!

Recalling Wulin's Princess Syndrome and the way he held her hand, he couldn't deny feeling pressured. Now, the fact that she wanted to join the Spirit Hall was even more problematic!

Miss is Wulin's fiancée, whom he has never met!

"No, there's nothing to panic about. There's no way they can be together."

"After all, this girl's talent is just so-so. Perhaps she can become Titled Douluo later, but her achievements will be limited. Talent generally doesn't change much..."

A smile flashed across Golden Crocodile Douluo's face as he silently reassured himself.

After all, this little girl's Innate Soul Power is only level seven. To put it bluntly, she and Wulin are not even from the same world.

There's no future for these two.

Unless the girl's talent can become even stronger, but that's not as simple as it sounds.

After all, not everyone is like Wulin, able to find a treasure trove of Heavenly Treasure like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well...

"Etc."

Thinking of the Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a thoughtful look suddenly flashed across Golden Crocodile Douluo's face.

Because at that moment he suddenly remembered that Wulin seemed to have hidden a Dark Attribute herb among those Heavenly Treasure!

Could it be...?

At this moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo involuntarily frowned, and at the same time, under his watchful eye, the scene also underwent some changes.

In Tang Wulin's hands, a delicate Jade Box appeared out of nowhere and was handed to the girl.

"Brother Tang, what's this?"

Zhu Zhuqing's expression froze for a moment, and she couldn't help but ask in confusion. Although she didn't know what it was, she could feel a powerful energy just by looking through the Jade Box.

"A gift I prepared for you."

"Take it when you have time."

Tang Wulin smiled slightly and spoke frankly.

These were naturally medicinal herbs prepared for the other party. The Dark Night Mystic Flower, with its dark attribute, would likely further enhance Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul bloodline.

"Gift..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up. She looked at the Jade Box in her hand as if it were a treasure, and her heart was filled with joy.

At that moment, she didn't even care what was inside; after all, it was just a gift from Brother Tang...

That was enough to make her very happy!

"Thank you, Brother Tang."

Zhu Zhuqing immediately came to her senses, a beautiful smile on her rosy face, and said softly.

"You're welcome."

Tang Wulin shook his head and smiled gently.

"..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo watched all this silently, and finally sighed in silence, "So be it, so be it!"

For a moment, he could only selectively focus his attention on the Council Hall, since Ning Rongrong was definitely alright. However, his face soon darkened again.

"..."

"Dad, what did you want to talk to me about?"

Ning Rongrong looked at her smiling father and her two grandfathers, Chen Xin Gu Rong, with a puzzled expression, and couldn't help but ask.

"Rongrong, Daddy has some questions for you. You must answer truthfully."

Ning Fengzhi looked at her and said with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

"Dad, you say it."

Ning Rongrong nodded slightly, having some thoughts in mind. It seemed this was a very serious matter; otherwise, her father probably wouldn't have said that.

"Rongrong, what about your Brother Tang...?"

Do you have feelings for her?

However, when her father finished speaking, Ning Rongrong was suddenly stunned. Her face first showed a look of astonishment, and then her expression quickly heated up.

"Ah?"

"Dad, why are you asking this...?"

For a moment, she couldn't help but look at her father with shyness, and couldn't help but say something at a loss.

Brother Tang such an outstanding young man, no one could possibly dislike him, at least she certainly does...

"It seems you thought the same thing as your father."

Seeing Ning Rongrong's reaction, Ning Fengzhi, who had already guessed it, laughed heartily.

"Rongrong, what Daddy wants to tell you is..."

"If you have feelings for His Highness Wulin, you can go ahead and pursue him. Such a prodigy is never short of admirers, so you'd better hurry up."

Ning Fengzhi looked at her and said slowly.

Perhaps what he said sounded like selling his daughter, but he couldn't just say it like that. After all, Rongrong already had feelings for him, and his words were only meant to be helpful.

As the sect leader of the World's Number One Support System Sect, is it a problem for her to provide support? Of course not.

"As long as you two are in love and your father is in charge, we will definitely be able to arrange this marriage for you."

"I..."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong was speechless for a moment. She was engaged to Brother Tang?!

Is it true or false?

But what will happen to Zhu Zhuqing then?

"..."

Ning Rongrong: What should we do about Zhu Zhuqing? It's so hard to guess.

P. S.: I finally finished writing one chapter. I'm sorry I only managed to write one chapter today. Thank you all for reading!
