Lu Yuan's Warning
"Hehe!" Seeing Ning Rongrong's anxious expression, Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "You don't need to explain to me. What you do is your own business."
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Ning Rongrong looked somewhat disappointed. It seemed that he really didn't care about her at all.
"However!" Lu Yuan suddenly changed the subject.
"But what?" Ning Rongrong raised her head, looking at Lu Yuan, her eyes sparkling.
"If you really want to make some changes, I think you need to have a firm will. If you keep doing things perfunctorily, you are destined not to achieve much."
Lu Yuan spoke calmly, but looking at Ning Rongrong's appearance, he couldn't help but remind her that while her temper might not need much change, her character was a big problem.
If all you know is to cheat and be lazy, working only sporadically, then even if you have great talent, you are destined to achieve nothing great.
Ning Rongrong's talent is not bad, she's just a bit playful. If she could put all her energy into cultivation, her Soul Power would be at least comparable to Tang San's. You have to know that she is the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and has never lacked resources. She is much better off than the poor Tang San.
Tang San was able to reach level 29 even with limited resources, so there's no reason why she couldn't.
"Now that you've come down the mountain, don't waste this rare opportunity. You'll be taking over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future, and you'll be carrying the responsibility of a sect on your shoulders. Think about it carefully. Besides, I think Uncle Ning would be happy to see your changes."
Lu Yuan said softly.
"Lu Yuan, it's me!" Ning Rongrong looked at Lu Yuan, not knowing what to say. She had never thought about these things before. Because of the love and pampering of Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong gradually developed the personality of an arrogant young lady.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is one of the Upper Three Sects, holding a prestigious position. In such an environment, with little pressure and already possessing considerable talent, it's quite normal for them not to enjoy cultivation.
However, considering their past acquaintance, Lu Yuan naturally wouldn't mind helping her change her bad habits, since she and Lu Yuan had no grudges against each other.
Although Ning Rongrong has the temper of a young lady, she is not a bad person at heart. On the contrary, she is still quite naive. She is just spoiled, so she may act a bit domineeringly.
"Go on, do what you're supposed to do. Don't tarnish your reputation as the Little Witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School. Twenty laps is nothing, how could it possibly be difficult for you?"
As Lu Yuan spoke, a rare, gentle smile appeared on his face as he looked at Ning Rongrong.
"Okay!" Seeing Lu Yuan's smile, Ning Rongrong felt as if something had touched her heart. She clenched her fists. "I'll go run right now. I won't let you down!"
As he spoke, he took quick, light steps and walked out of the restaurant, seemingly to complete the twenty laps he hadn't finished.
Watching Ning Rongrong's figure disappear into the restaurant, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Yuan with a strange expression.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Yuan asked, puzzled, looking at Zhu Zhuqing's expression.
"Heh, your words really worked. She obediently went for a run after just a few words." Zhu Zhuqing's tone was flat, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"You're overthinking things again!" Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. He knew what Zhu Zhuqing meant as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Nonsense? I'm not just thinking nonsense. They said they wouldn't let you down!" Zhu Zhuqing's tone was a little strange.
"That's what she said. What does it have to do with me? I only mentioned it because I have a good relationship with her father and we've known each other before. After all, she has good talent, and it would be a pity to let it go to waste. I didn't mean anything by it," Lu Yuan said.
"Hmph, who knows?" Zhu Zhuqing wrinkled her nose and glared at Lu Yuan.
"Heh, getting temperamental again!" Lu Yuan grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's waist, lowered his head, and sealed Zhu Zhuqing red lips with his own, causing Zhu Zhuqing to let out a soft moan.
She didn't struggle much, and closed her eyes, letting Lu Yuan take her.
Gently removing his lips from Zhu Zhuqing's lips, Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing slightly dazed eyes.
You arrogant little kitten, I think I can handle you?
Zhu Zhuqing nestled in Lu Yuan's arms, listening to Lu Yuan heartbeat, and whispered, "Lu Yuan, don't forget what you promised me and Hu Liena. You can't go back on your word."
"Yes!" Lu Yuan nodded gently. "I said that unless there are unavoidable factors, there will only be the three of you in this lifetime."
"So, are there really only the three of us now?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"Yes, I really only have the three of you 'people' right now!" Lu Yuan said, secretly adding in his mind, "I'm not wrong about that. Gu Yuena isn't a person, so she can't be counted."
"Okay, that's good!" Zhu Zhuqing blinked her beautiful eyes gently, quite satisfied with Lu Yuan's answer. After all, she didn't want anyone else to share Lu Yuan's love with her.
She was the last one to arrive, so she certainly wouldn't receive the most love from Lu Yuan. If another person were to arrive, she would receive even less love.
Lu Yuan kissed Zhu Zhuqing's lips again, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Did that girl pay when she left?"
"I'm not sure, but I don't think so. It seems like you pay after you finish eating here!" Zhu Zhuqing said after a moment's thought.
"So I have to pay for her?" Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly. Couldn't this girl pay the bill before leaving?
"Do you really need a little more money?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Yuan with amusement.
"It's not about whether I'm short of money or not, it's just that I feel like I've been taken advantage of for nothing. Oh well, it's just a small matter. Our food should be served soon, so eat more. Tonight, there might be a battle waiting for you!"
Lu Yuan smiled.
"Battle? What battle?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Yuan with some curiosity.
"You'll find out when the time comes!" Lu Yuan didn't explain directly, but instead smiled faintly, which piqued Zhu Zhuqing's curiosity.
"Still keeping me in suspense!" Zhu Zhuqing gave Lu Yuan a reproachful look with her beautiful eyes, but since Lu Yuan didn't say anything, she didn't bother to ask anymore, though she was secretly looking forward to it.
Before the two had finished speaking, the waiter started serving the dishes. Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing quickly climbed out of Lu Yuan's arms.
After a meal filled with laughter and conversation, Lu Yuan took Zhu Zhuqing a stroll around Suotuo City. He bought her some clothes, jewelry, and other expensive and high-quality items. It was truly a case of money flowing like water. However, Lu Yuan didn't care, since he was rich.
Money talks!
It was getting late when the two returned to the academy.
