"Okay, Zhuqing, so you've been hiding someone in your heart too!"
Ning Rongrong's gossip-loving soul ignited, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she stared at Zhu Zhuqing, urging her on:
"Quick, tell me! Who is he? What's his name? How old is he? How long have you known him..."
Xiao Wu, standing nearby, also looked at Zhu Zhuqing with curiosity and anticipation.
A rare blush appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cool and beautiful face:
"His name is Ling Tian. I don't know his exact age, but he's definitely not eighteen yet..."
"Who?" Ning Rongrong thought she misheard, looking at Zhu Zhuqing with disbelief:
"You like Ling Tian?! That peerless genius who shakes Heaven Dou City?!"
She hadn't expected Zhu Zhuqing's affections to be directed at Ling Tian. Before coming to Shrek Academy, she had even seen that Ling Tian, but he was wearing a mask, so she didn't know what he looked like.
Thus, Ning Rongrong's interest soared:
"Zhuqing, how did you meet that Ling Tian?"
Xiao Wu also looked like she was eager for gossip.
A nostalgic and gentle expression appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful face, and she softly recounted her meeting, acquaintance, and growing affection with Ling Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Wow! A hero saving the damsel!"
Ning Rongrong had a doting smile:
"There's no way to repay such a life-saving grace, Zhuqing. It seems you can only offer yourself in marriage. You have no choice but to marry that Ling Tian."
Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face turned even redder.
"Hehe, I didn't expect all three of us to have someone we like," Xiao Wu chuckled, summarizing.
"Mine is Third Brother, Rongrong's is Qin Yuan, and Zhuqing's is Ling Tian.
Hehe, you all know my Third Brother. When are you going to introduce your crushes to me?"
Saying this, Xiao Wu looked expectantly at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing:
"Rongrong, Zhuqing, your crushes are both in Heaven Dou City. If we have time to go to Heaven Dou City, you must introduce them to me. Big Sister Xiao Wu will vet them for you!"
Xiao Wu waved her fists with a serious expression: "If you ever get bullied, Big Sister Xiao Wu will stand up for you."
"Mhm." Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance, both nodding gently with flushed faces.
Ning Rongrong said with a blush, "Zhuqing, when we get to Heaven Dou City, I'll introduce you to my Yuan Gege."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently, smiling softly, "Rongrong, when we get to Heaven Dou City, I'll introduce you to my... Big Brother Ling Tian."
Xiao Wu, standing beside them, had a doting smile.
It's so good, all three sisters have someone they like.
Hm? Did I forget something? Did I promise someone something?
Never mind, it's not important.
Oscar: "Me!@#¥%..."
A blue-skirted maid entered Qin Yuan's courtyard and walked up to Qin Yuan, who was fishing, bowing slightly:
"Young Master Qin Yuan, His Majesty requests your presence."
Hearing this, Qin Yuan frowned slightly but said nothing. He waved for Bai Die and Hong Yue, who were massaging his shoulders and legs, to withdraw. He casually handed the fishing rod to Hong Yue and lazily stood up:
"Let's go."
The blue-skirted maid bowed and led the way.
Before they could leave the courtyard, the blue-skirted maid suddenly stopped and turned back, whispering:
"Young Master Qin Yuan, His Majesty said he wishes to see you alone. Your maids and guards cannot accompany you."
Qin Yuan nodded indifferently, "Uncle Fu, wait for me here."
"Yes, Young Master." Li Fu, who was following Qin Yuan, responded with a nod.
He followed the blue-skirted maid out of the courtyard. After several turns, the place became increasingly secluded and rarely visited.
Damn it, why would my uncle want to meet in such a secluded place? Is it that shameful... Qin Yuan complained wildly in his heart.
"Hey, how much further?" Qin Yuan called out to the blue-skirted maid in front.
"Almost there..."
As the blue-skirted maid spoke, she suddenly turned, and a sharp dagger shot through the air like a bullet, aiming for Qin Yuan's neck.
Qin Yuan's pupils contracted sharply. The cold glint rapidly enlarged in his vision. He instinctively leaned back, and the cold glint grazed his eyes.
"Hm?" The blue-skirted maid clearly hadn't expected that the waste with only half a year of Innate Soul Power in her eyes could dodge it. Startled, she didn't slow her movements.
The sharp dagger, flashing with cold light, suddenly changed direction by ninety degrees in mid-air, viciously stabbing towards Qin Yuan's neck.
But it missed.
Under the Blue Skirt Maid's shocked gaze, Qin Yuan vanished into thin air.
Swish!
A bone-chilling coldness came from behind him.
Without thinking, the Blue Skirt Maid lunged forward, narrowly dodging.
At the same time, she didn't forget to look back, her terrified eyes discovering a war god covered in Golden Dragon Scales, as if clad in golden armor, had appeared behind her.
Those cold, bright golden vertical pupils were staring intently at her.
"Who are you?" the Blue Skirt Maid asked coldly, steadying herself.
"That question should be mine to ask you."
Qin Yuan, in his Martial Soul Possession state, stared coldly at the Blue Skirt Maid:
"Who sent you?"
"This voice?!" The Blue Skirt Maid's beautiful eyes widened in shock, and she cried out:
"Qin Yuan?! No, impossible, isn't your martial soul a Little Grass Snake? How could you..."
Before she could finish speaking, a Golden Dragon Claw rapidly enlarged in her vision, snatching towards her slender, fair neck.
The Blue Skirt Maid's pupils contracted, and her martial soul possessed her. Five soul rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black, appeared on her body, three of them glowing brightly.
She was actually a Soul King!
But the Blue Skirt Maid's soul skills were not instant cast. How could they be faster than Qin Yuan, who possessed Teleportation?
He directly interrupted her casting!
Ignoring the dagger the Blue Skirt Maid thrust at him, the Golden Dragon Claw locked onto her neck, lifting her up forcefully.
Crack!
The dagger pierced Qin Yuan's chest, but sparks flew, and it couldn't penetrate at all. Instead, it broke, causing the Blue Skirt Maid's pupils to widen again, her heart filled with dread: "This is impossible!"
Just as the Blue Skirt Maid was in shock, Qin Yuan's free left hand grabbed her wrist and squeezed. The terrifying force instantly crushed the Blue Skirt Maid's wrist.
In extreme pain, the Blue Skirt Maid couldn't help but let out a pained scream, but Qin Yuan's grip on her throat was so tight that she couldn't make a sound.
"Don't scream. If you attract anyone, you'll die a terrible death."
Qin Yuan's bone-chilling voice echoed in her ear.
"????"
The Blue Skirt Maid was stunned.
Wait, I'm supposed to be the assassin, right?
But what she found most unbelievable was that she, a dignified Soul King, had been subdued by a mere thirteen-year-old boy!
He was only thirteen!
How could he be so powerful?!
An illusion, it must be an illusion!
Suddenly, her vision blurred.
The scene before her instantly changed, from the bright and spacious ground to a dark, damp, and narrow underground.
Bang... Thump!!
Qin Yuan threw the Blue Skirt Maid against the wall without any mercy.
The Blue Skirt Maid cried out in pain as she lay on the ground.
"Now, tell me, who sent you!"
Qin Yuan's face was cold as he walked towards the Blue Skirt Maid step by step, his icy killing intent locked onto her, making her shiver all over.
