Firefly: I'm Not Ready Yet

Ning Fengzhi only knew about their private relationship at the time and didn't pay much attention to it.

He didn't interfere either.

Otherwise, perhaps he would have discovered Lu Jiang's talent within the sect.

"But it's not a big problem, Rongrong should be able to call Lu Jiang back smoothly!"

Fortunately, though, Rongrong mentioned that Lu Jiang had a very weak personality.

He was also completely obedient to Ning Rongrong.

As long as Ning Rongrong could entice Lu Jiang a little, he would definitely be able to summon him back to the sect.

Although it felt like he was selling his daughter, he believed Rongrong would understand him.

After all, this was related to the development of the entire sect.

Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect desperately needed a genius outside of the support system.

As long as Rongrong could control him, no matter what method she used, it would be a great benefit to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Afterward, Ning Fengzhi said to Chen Xin:

"Uncle Jian, you might not know this, but that person was once a disciple of our sect."

"And Rongrong's former lover."

Chen Xin's eyes immediately widened upon hearing this.

He usually doted on Rongrong, treating her like his own granddaughter.

He didn't know that Rongrong had found a boyfriend behind his back?

"Elder Chen, don't rush. You saw this person's strength just now."

"Rongrong and him. It might not be a bad thing for now."

"As long as Rongrong can persuade him to change his mind, we will have another genius in our sect to command."

Chen Xin calmed down and nodded.

Although he loved Ning Rongrong dearly, if it was her own choice, then he had nothing to say.

The key was the future. Would Ning Rongrong still help them persuade Lu Jiang to return after knowing he was a genius?

"But what if he refuses to agree?"

"Just now, the Crown Prince's intentions were very clear, telling us that Lu Jiang is his person."

A cold glint flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.

Then, in a tone as cold as an ice cellar, he said:

"If he refuses to return to the sect, we absolutely cannot let such a genius fall into the hands of others."

"No matter how strong he is, he is just a junior with slightly higher talent."

"It doesn't matter if he works for my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but he cannot work for other forces."

Chen Xin immediately understood Ning Fengzhi's meaning and quietly followed behind him, saying nothing more.

Meanwhile, after the outcome was decided, Firefly deactivated her armor form.

She then walked to Lu Jiang's side, looking at him with anticipation.

Lu Jiang understood what she meant, so he reached out and stroked Firefly's head, saying:

"Mhm, mhm. Very good, our Firefly is the best!"

Firefly blushed, looking extremely pleased, enjoying Lu Jiang's petting.

Afterward, Xue Qinghe walked onto the stage, clapping his hands.

"I indeed didn't misjudge you. Now, you are the captain of the Imperial Dou Team."

After speaking, Xue Qinghe looked at the other members of the Imperial Dou Team and said:

"Now, do any of you have any objections?"

At this moment, everyone exchanged glances, not daring to speak.

Yu Tianheng, the strongest among them, was instantly defeated with one blow. What else could they say?

Then, Xue Qinghe left with Lu Jiang.

Upon returning to the Crown Prince's Mansion, Lu Jiang finally couldn't hold back.

He directly reached out to Xue Qinghe and said:

"I've done what I promised you. Where's my money?"

Xue Qinghe chuckled twice, then turned around and said:

"My dignified Crown Prince's favor is actually worth less than Gold Soul Coins to you."

"Well, knowing that you have something you're pursuing makes our cooperation even more beneficial."

"This Soul Ring contains two million Gold Soul Coins. The excess will be considered my investment in you."

Lu Jiang accepted it with some surprise.

Good heavens, I didn't expect Qian Renxue to be so generous, giving away two million just like that.

She was so stingy when she asked to borrow a hundred Gold Soul Coins from me before.

After Lu Jiang put away the Soul Ring, Xue Qinghe said to him:

"Lu Jiang, an outer disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who hasn't broken through level ten in several years."

"You're also the boyfriend of the Sect Master's daughter, Ning Rongrong. Unfortunately, you were dumped a few days ago, weren't you?"

Lu Jiang wasn't surprised. It wasn't difficult for Qian Renxue to investigate him with her methods.

Besides, he hadn't intended to hide anything anyway.

So, he said indifferently:

"Crown Prince, why are you investigating me so thoroughly? Do you like me?"

Xue Qinghe was stunned by the sudden remark.

Then, with a slight blush, he rebuked:

"Insolent! Do you know who you're talking to?"

After speaking, Xue Qinghe sighed again.

"Alas, I know it's very improper to investigate your background so casually."

"However, if we want to cooperate for a long time, this is a necessary step. I hope you can understand."

Saying this, Xue Qinghe patted Lu Jiang's shoulder:

"I believe, with your talent, it won't be long before the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will be beneath your feet."

Lu Jiang just smiled and then said:

"Of course."

Lu Jiang arrived at the residence arranged for him by Xue Qinghe.

He then lay directly on the spacious velvet bed, thinking quietly.

He had already sensed Ning Fengzhi's presence during the previous battle.

His talent had undoubtedly been exposed, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would definitely make a move against him.

"Hmph, they treated me like that back then, and now they want me to go back and be their cattle and horses? Dream on!"

Returning was impossible. All he could do now was seize the time to become stronger.

He had to increase his strength to a level where he could protect himself before the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect made any moves.

This matter was already pressing!

Thinking of this, Lu Jiang tossed the Soul Ring in his hand.

These two million Gold Soul Coins were his seed money for becoming stronger!

Lu Jiang quickly bought the piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Mucus he had been eyeing.

After all, accumulating slot value required a large amount of Soul Power.

Buying hundreds or thousands of years of whale mucus would have little effect, essentially wasting money.

So, Lu Jiang only bought the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Mucus.

The shop owner thought he had met some distinguished guest and desperately tried to introduce him to other aphrodisiacs.

However, Lu Jiang wasn't there for that reason.

So, he ignored him.

After buying the whale mucus, Lu Jiang returned to his room.

He then summoned Firefly.

Upon seeing the large piece of whale mucus on the bed, Firefly gasped in surprise and covered her mouth.

"Trailblazer. Are you going to..."

Thinking of the purpose for which Lu Jiang had bought this whale mucus, Firefly's face instantly turned red.

Steam rose from her head once again.

Are they really going to reach that stage so soon?

She wasn't ready to get pregnant with Trailblazer's baby yet!
