Joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Have Some Ambition, Will You?

"Eh? Really?"

Ning Rongrong rubbed against Zhu Zhuqing's arm, her eyes sparkling as she said:

"Since you can't go back anyway, why not consider joining our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"If you join, I can have Bone Grandpa and Sword Grandpa personally teach you!"

"The two Sword and Bone Douluo?"

Zhu Zhuqing was tempted when she heard that.

Leaving aside how joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could directly change her fate, just having two Title Douluo personally teach her was already incredibly appealing.

The only issue was that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect belonged to the Heaven Dou faction.

Joining it did not seem entirely appropriate...

"Exactly! So, will you join?"

Ning Rongrong clutched Zhu Zhuqing's arm tightly, as though she were holding onto her own future.

"You know who I am. Are you sure you want to invite me?"

Zhu Zhuqing let out a breath and looked at Ning Rongrong as if asking for confirmation.

"What does that matter? Didn't you want to break off the marriage contract and abandon everything over there?"

Ning Rongrong curled her lips, utterly unconcerned, and said with great swagger:

"Anyway, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect isn't afraid of the Star Luo Empire. If you're willing to join, then as long as you're in Heaven Dou, they absolutely won't be able to hurt you, much less force you to do anything!"

"...Thank you."

Hearing those words, Zhu Zhuqing, pure-hearted as she was, would have been lying if she said she was not moved.

Whatever Ning Rongrong's intentions might have been, at least at this moment, she was completely sincere.

And after thinking it over carefully, joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did seem like quite a good option!

She would have powerful backing, money to provide any cultivation resources she needed, and assistance when hunting high-year Soul Beasts in the future...

Other than becoming enemies with Star Luo, there did not seem to be any drawbacks.

"Have a little backbone, will you!"

"You're supposed to become a god!"

Bai Lu's exasperated voice sounded in her mind:

"If an organization imposes too many restrictions and leaves little room for growth, then joining it has no meaning at all..."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had too many constraints and too little room to maneuver.

How far could she go at most? Grand Elder? Vice Sect Master?

Or should she find a way to usurp the Heaven Dou Empire and establish a new Seven Treasure Empire?

Or perhaps take the Seven Treasure Sect to the Star Luo Empire, seize the throne, and become an Empress?

Forget it!

Trying to build it up and make it strong would exhaust her to death, and she would still have to worry about Bibi Dong's future soul-hunting campaign after establishing the Spirit Hall Empire.

"Is that so..."

Listening to Bai Lu's analysis, Zhu Zhuqing found it increasingly reasonable the more she thought about it.

She believed she was still quite responsible.

If joining only let her enjoy herself early on while making her miserable later, then she should just forget it!

Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong was still looking forward to it:

"As long as you join, with me supporting you from now on, no matter what enemies we face, we'll definitely be able to slaughter them all together!"

"..."

After hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly fell slightly silent.

Compared to having to watch her back and protect a support during battle, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's maximum eighty-percent boost did not seem all that enticing anymore...

She shook her head slightly. She neither refused nor agreed, merely saying:

"I'll need to think about it some more."

"Then take your time thinking!"

Ning Rongrong thought there was hope. She took out a token from her Storage Soul Tool:

"This is a High-Level VIP Token from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. You get a forty-percent discount at all our businesses..."

"Alright."

Zhu Zhuqing gave this innocent, lively sister a deep look.

She could not quite bear to tell her that the boosts were too small, the family situation was too complicated, and she was not interested.

She simply put the token away in silence.

Ning Rongrong was still excitedly talking about something, but Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts had already drifted far away.

The two walked down from the Soul Arena Stage and, after only a few steps, ran into the Shrek Group.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Zhuqing took the initiative to walk over.

Tang San and the others from Shrek reacted as though they were facing a formidable enemy, thinking she had come to mock and belittle them.

Flender, who hoped Zhu Zhuqing would join the academy, had his eyes light up.

"This Soul Master, your performance in battle just now was outstanding! Are you interested in joining our Shrek Academy?"

He took the initiative to approach her and chattered on:

"The students of Shrek Academy are all geniuses, and our teaching staff is excellent. If you join, we can definitely make you even stronger..."

"Not interested."

Zhu Zhuqing replied calmly, then walked straight up to Tang San and asked:

"What are the techniques and footwork you used in your Soul Duel called?"

Tang San was startled for a moment, then said proudly:

"The grappling technique, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and the movement technique, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. They are the finest tech... self-created Soul Skills!"

"Can you teach them to me? I can pay tuition."

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was cool and detached, yet serious.

Since she could not learn them on her own, she could only resort to the power of money!

"You're so noble! You're so impressive!"

Bai Lu, in the Spiritual World, was thoroughly convinced:

"Using my money to show off, and you're even showing off through daydreaming. Are you awake?"

Sure enough, Tang San shook his head without the slightest hesitation:

"Sorry. Tang Sect Secret Techniques cannot be taught."

"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins."

Zhu Zhuqing said directly.

Ten thousand!?

Ma Hongjun's eyes went wide.

That much money would be enough for him to buy every brothel on that street, wouldn't it?

Yet Tang San refused without hesitation. "Impossible!"

Zhu Zhuqing raised the price. "One hundred thousand."

"Money isn't everything. Don't ask again!"

Tang San stood proud and unyielding. "Even if it were one million or ten million, I still couldn't teach you!"

He knew very well that the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record was one of the greatest assets he would rely on to defeat Zhu Zhuqing in the future!

If Zhu Zhuqing learned Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, whether his Hidden Weapons could even hit her would become a major problem.

That scene was too "beautiful." He did not dare imagine it.

"Fine."

Seeing how resolute he was, Zhu Zhuqing chose to give up.

She nodded to Ning Rongrong, turned, and left.

"Goodbye... Zhu... Xiao Yue! You must think it over carefully!"

Ning Rongrong waved goodbye enthusiastically.

"Sigh... It would have been great if we could have gotten her to join!"

Flender sighed, his eyes full of regret.

"That girl... her future is limitless."

Yu Xiaogang's expression was complicated, and his mood even more so.

If he could also obtain a great fortuitous encounter, he would definitely be able to break through level twenty-nine and truly become a Soul Elder!

Then no one would look down on him anymore!

Tang San watched Zhu Zhuqing's retreating figure, unwillingness gleaming in his eyes.

Just wait. The next time we meet, I'll definitely defeat you!

Zhu Zhuqing did not care in the slightest about what they were thinking.

She went to the main hall and casually arranged one Life and Death Arena and one Gambling Arena match. When she found the Staff again, however, she received some bad news—

"I'm very sorry, Adult Xiao Yue, but you have reached your match limit for today. Please come back another day."

"No more?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly. She did not make things difficult for the Staff and simply left the Great Soul Arena.

She turned right after exiting, walked into an alley, changed masks, then entered the Great Soul Arena again.

"I want to register and sign up for a match."

"Adult Xiao Yue, haven't you already registered?"

"My name is Xiao Lan."

Zhu Zhuqing said without changing her expression.

"???"

Staff: Are you exploiting a bug here?

Don't think I can't recognize you just because you changed your disguise!
