The Diligent Ning Rongrong!

Mu Chen sank his consciousness into the system space.

He was chatting with Ah Yin, trying to fill the void in her lonely heart.

Just then.

A knock sounded at the door, followed immediately by Xiao Wu's voice: "Teacher, we're back!"

Mu Chen bid Ah Yin farewell, and his consciousness returned to the outside world.

"Come in."

Xiao Wu pushed the door open and entered, with Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San following closely behind.

"Teacher, I have something to tell you."

"It's definitely going to shock you."

Xiao Wu leaned in toward Mu Chen with a mysterious air and sat down with complete composure.

"What is it?"

Mu Chen was somewhat surprised.

"There's a student here named Dai Mubai, you should know him—he actually turns out to be Zhuqing's fiancé!"

Xiao Wu said with an exaggerated expression.

"Oh?"

Mu Chen was genuinely taken aback.

It wasn't the relationship between the two that surprised him, but rather the fact that Xiao Wu had found out.

He raised his eyes to look at Zhu Zhuqing.

At this moment, Tang San poured him a cup of tea.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained calm as she said softly, "Teacher, I have already written a letter of annulment to unilaterally dissolve my engagement with Dai Mubai."

As Mu Chen took the teacup, his hand trembled, and a few drops of tea splashed onto Xiao Wu's snow-white legs.

"Teacher, hold it steady!"

"You got it all over my leg!"

Xiao Wu frowned, looking somewhat displeased.

Mainly because.

The tea was a bit hot...

"My apologies, I won't get it on your legs next time." Mu Chen awkwardly set the cup down, then took out a handkerchief and gently wiped Xiao Wu's snow-white leg.

"That's more like it..." Xiao Wu muttered.

Mu Chen asked with eyes full of astonishment, "Zhuqing, you just dissolved your engagement with Dai Mubai so easily, and even used a letter of annulment?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded indifferently and smiled dismissively: "No matter what happens in the future, I will not regret today's choice. Even if I am hunted down by the Star Luo Imperial Family and my clan together, I will have no complaints or regrets. At the very least, I feel incredibly lighthearted right now."

Mu Chen stood up and walked over to Zhu Zhuqing, gazing at her with eyes full of gratification: "No matter what happens, with me here, I won't let anything happen to you."

"Teacher, thank you." Zhu Zhuqing was deeply moved; she stepped forward and leaned gently against Mu Chen.

Feeling the softness of the close contact, Mu Chen patted Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder to comfort her.

"Zhuqing, Xiao Wu and I will help you too. When soldiers come, we use generals to block; when water comes, we use earth to cover. We will face it together!" Tang San said righteously.

Xiao Wu nodded solemnly as well.

"Thank you both."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu with gratitude.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Oscar had barely run ten meters, while Ning Rongrong had already covered fifty meters using the Kirin Heaven-Treading Steps.

And this was only while she was just beginning to learn it.

"How is she running so fast!"

Oscar panted heavily.

He had only finished one lap, while Ning Rongrong had already started her fourth.

At this moment.

Flender, who was observing Ning Rongrong, was also extremely astonished: "It seems I underestimated her! But isn't this a bit too fast? Could it be some secret technique of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? As expected of a support sect, their methods for escaping are actually this brilliant!"

In less than an hour, Ning Rongrong finished the entire course, gaining a deeper insight into the Kirin Heaven-Treading Steps.

"I'm exhausted!"

Ning Rongrong took a deep breath.

Just then, Oscar ran past her, panting heavily and gasping for air.

"Huu!! Huu!! Huu!!"

Oscar stopped to catch his breath, and upon seeing Ning Rongrong drenched in sweat, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

"What are you looking at?"

"This lady is already taken, so go find somewhere cool to stay!"

Ning Rongrong held her head high, puffed out her chest, gave a light huff, and turned to walk away.

Hearing this, Oscar felt all the strength drain from his body, and he collapsed, sprawling flat on his back.

Ning Rongrong returned to Mu Chen, throwing herself onto him the moment she entered the room.

"Teacher, I'm so hot~"

She stuck out her little tongue, collapsing against Mu Chen like a puddle of mud.

"Go take a bath; you're all sticky, and now you've made me sticky too."

Mu Chen frowned, speaking with a helpless tone.

"But I'm already too tired to move, won't you help me bathe?"

Ning Rongrong's pretty face was flushed and burning hot, her soft breaths brushing against Mu Chen's ear.

"Ahem!"

Mu Chen glanced toward the bedroom shared by Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, where the two girls were currently meditating in preparation for the evening lesson.

After a moment of thought, he picked Ning Rongrong up.

"You little girl, there's really no helping you."

"Since your soul power is the lowest, I'll give you a hand and bring you along to cultivate."

Mu Chen walked straight toward the bathroom.

Ning Rongrong was incredibly sharp.

In an instant, she understood the true meaning behind Mu Chen's words and smiled shyly: "Teacher, you really have no shame, and you're quite good at making excuses."

Yin Yang Heart-Link Art!

Everyone hates demonic cultivators! Why? Isn't it because demonic cultivation allows for rapid progress?

As it happens, this Yin Yang Heart-Link Art is exactly that—a shortcut technique for those with low cultivation levels!

Evening.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing woke up from their meditation one after the other.

"Teacher, it's time for class!"

Xiao Wu called out.

She and Zhu Zhuqing stood outside Mu Chen's bedroom door, their cheeks flushing slightly as they listened to the movements inside.

"Alright!"

"Once Rongrong and I finish our cultivation, we'll come find you!"

Mu Chen held Ning Rongrong tightly, turning his head to shout toward the door.

"Hurry up then!"

Xiao Wu bit her lip lightly before pulling Zhu Zhuqing away at a brisk pace.

"Is this cultivation method really that bizarre?"

"That hateful Ning Rongrong, what kind of method did she use to claim the teacher the moment she became his apprentice!"

Xiao Wu was both embarrassed and annoyed.

"Perhaps... the teacher and Rongrong really are just cultivating?" Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes blinked softly, her heart rate accelerating uncontrollably.

"Zhuqing, do you even believe what you're saying?" Xiao Wu smirked and gave Zhu Zhuqing's shapely backside a playful pat.

"You rogue, I'm ignoring you!" Zhu Zhuqing blushed, her long, shapely legs moving quickly as she hurried away.

"Don't be mad!" Xiao Wu giggled and followed closely behind, her own pair of straight, slender legs every bit as stunning as Zhu Zhuqing's.

Not long after.

On the training grounds.

Flender looked at the six people arriving one by one and asked with a frown: "Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, where is Ning Rongrong?"

Xiao Wu spread her hands, saying with a calm and composed expression: "She is currently cultivating with the teacher and cannot get away."

"Very well then..." Flender looked at Oscar and asked: "Little Ao, how is your recovery? Can you still handle the evening lesson?"

Oscar's lazy bones were acting up again, and he immediately waved his hands. "Dean, I haven't recovered yet!"

Flender said indifferently, "Then you can head back. The rest of you, follow me to Suotuo City. Our classroom for today is the Great Soul Arena of Suotuo."

Oscar breathed a sigh of relief.

Flender began to lead the way.

Seeing this, the others followed suit.

Dai Mubai looked back at Zhu Zhuqing from time to time, and thinking of what happened during the day, a fire of rage ignited in his heart.
