Reactions from All Sides and Recruitment
The cafeteria is definitely out of food now; if you want to eat, you'll have to go to Suotuo City!
Moreover, if Lu Yuan remembered correctly, Shrek Academy's enrollment period was about to begin in the next few days.
Not only will Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong come, but his little cat Zhu Zhuqing will also be there.
It's been over two years since I last saw her. I wonder how that little kitten is doing now.
However, according to the information Lu Yuan obtained from the Spirit Hall in Suotuo City, Zhu Zhuqing is still safe, and her strength has improved considerably.
Even the age of her third Soul Ring reached 2,500 years. It seems that the Life Spirit Crystal back then greatly improved her physique, enabling her to break the limits of ordinary Soul Master with her third Soul Ring.
Lu Yuan knew perfectly well that Zhu Zhuqing's third Soul Ring was obtained by hunting down a thousand-year-old spirit beast with the help of the Spirit Hall. After all, it would be extremely difficult for her to hunt down a thousand-year-old Soul Beast on her own while training alone.
However, with the fifth-grade token given to her by Lu Yuan, she could mobilize anyone from any of the Spirit Hall Branch under the Holy Temple, making it easy to hunt down a Soul Beast.
Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing's willingness to rely on the power of the Spirit Hall shows that she truly considers him her closest person. Otherwise, given Zhu Zhuqing's proud and somewhat arrogant personality, she would never have done such a thing. Thinking of this, Lu Yuan felt a warmth in his heart.
"According to the information we received from the Suotuo City branch, the little kitten should be on her way to Suotuo City. We'll see her soon!" Lu Yuan felt a pang of longing and heartache for Zhu Zhuqing.
This girl, in order not to be a burden to him, was willing to wander and experience hardships on the mainland alone, just to help him. It would be a lie to say that Lu Yuan was not moved.
Every so often, he would inquire about Zhu Zhuqing's current situation from the Spirit Hall in Suotuo City. News spreads throughout the Spirit Hall, especially since Lu Yuan issued an order with the Angel Token's Decree that all Spirit Hall Branch on the Douluo Continent must pay attention to a female Soul Master named Zhu Zhuqing and spread the news so that Lu Yuan would be aware of it.
Lu Yuan went to great lengths for Zhu Zhuqing.
Thinking about it, Lu Yuan rubbed his stomach and walked towards Suotuo City. To be honest, he was actually quite hungry!
Meanwhile, in various parts of the Heaven Dou Empire, an interesting scene was unfolding.
Heaven Dou Imperial City, Crown Prince Estate!
Qian Renxue was still disguised as Xue Qinghe, sitting in the study chair, holding a cup of tea in her hand.
The Snake Lance Douluo was right beside her!
Before her stood an old man in gray robes, none other than Mad Rhino Douluo.
"Is that jerk still wasting time at the Shrek Academy?" Qian Renxue asked.
"According to the news from the Spirit Hall of Suotuo City, Young Master Yuan should have been staying in Suotuo City for a year, and he has been staying at the Shrek Academy for the entire year," said Mad Rhino Douluo.
"What exactly is this stinky guy up to? What's so great about staying in a lousy academy? I heard that woman asked him to go to the Spirit Hall Academy, but he was too lazy to go. Now he's staying in such a run-down academy. What are his plans?" Qian Renxue asked softly.
"I don't know either. Young Master Young Master Yuan's actions are unpredictable and I've never been able to figure them out. When I was by Young Master Yuan's side, every move he made had an incomprehensible meaning," said Mad Rhino Douluo.
"Hmm, that's true. Sometimes I can't even guess what that jerk is thinking!" Qian Renxue tapped her chin with her slender fingers and said, "This guy said he would come to see me when he had time, but it's been two years and I haven't seen a single person."
As Qian Renxue spoke, there was even a hint of barely perceptible resentment in her tone.
Upon hearing this, Mad Rhino Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo kept their eyes down, deciding it was best for them to refrain from interfering in the affairs between their young lady and Young Master Yuan.
"It just so happens that my father has sent me to travel incognito to various kingdoms and provinces these past few days to check on the situation in each place. I'll take some time to visit Suotuo City. I'd like to know what that scoundrel is up to!"
"You'll all come with me then!" Qian Renxue said.
"Yes, Miss!" The two nodded slightly, exchanged glances, and sighed inwardly, "Young Master Yuan, may you have good luck!"
"You scoundrel!" Qian Renxue's eyes flashed.
Heaven Dou Empire, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile City, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
Ning Fengzhi sat on a chair in the main hall, holding a letter in his hand.
"Feng Zhi!" Suddenly, an old man in white robes flew into the hall on his sword. "I heard Rongrong went down the mountain and joined that Shrek Academy?"
"Sword Uncle!" Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and said, "Rongrong has always stayed in the sect. You know her temper. Maybe she will change a bit this time she goes down the mountain. Shrek Academy was founded by Flender, one of the Golden Iron Triangle members. I heard that the teaching is quite good."
"What's wrong with Rongrong's temper? Rongrong so well-behaved, and what can Flender teach Rongrong? Can he compare to me and Old Bones?" Sword Douluo's tone carried a hint of questioning. From childhood to adulthood, he and Bone Douluo had truly doted on Ning Rongrong. Now that she was suddenly going down the mountain, he was naturally reluctant to part with her.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi gave a wry smile. Wasn't Ning Rongrong 'Little Witch devilish temper a result of being spoiled by Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo Dalu I?
Of course, he spoils her quite a bit, after all, she's his own daughter and so outstanding, if he doesn't pamper her, who will?
Seeing Sword Douluo's reaction, Ning Fengzhi knew he had to resort to drastic measures; only in this way could he move Sword Uncle.
"Sword Uncle, according to the information I've received, Lu Yuan is also at the Shrek Academy. You know Rongrong has always liked him. Now that Rongrong is there, the two of them will spend more time together, and maybe..."
As Ning Fengzhi spoke, he looked at Sword Douluo and said, "So you understand?"
Sword Douluo's expression hardened, and he said, "That's a reason, but I don't think Lu Yuan is someone who's easy to pursue!" His tone carried a hint of worry. Lu Yuan was exceptionally arrogant. Could Rongrong handle it?
"Hehe, Sword Uncle, don't worry. With Rongrong's looks and the foundation of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, how could she not win over Lu Yuan? You're worrying too much, Sword Uncle. You know, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. No matter how talented Lu Yuan is, he'll have to surrender when he meets Rongrong!"
Ning Fengzhi chuckled, seemingly imagining the future scenario of Lu Yuan being recruited to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. With such power to help, wouldn't it be an Ultimate Douluo thing for their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to become the leader of the Upper Three Sects?
Sword Douluo looked at Ning Fengzhi with a strange expression. Rongrong was indeed very beautiful and cute, but wasn't he a little too confident? On the contrary, he had some hidden worries in his heart. This matter might not go as smoothly as Ning Fengzhi thought.
