When she was with Levin, Zhu Zhuqing could temporarily forget her identity, forget the responsibilities and fate that weighed on her until she could barely breathe.
She was just an ordinary Soul Master student, discussing Martial Souls and sparring techniques with a friend who loved cultivation just as much as she did.
That feeling... was so relaxing.
Zhu Zhuqing lightly bit her lip.
She knew it was wishful thinking.
She was Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai's fiancée, a pawn in the Star Luo Empire's power games.
She had no right to hope for an easy life, no right to choose her own path.
All she could do was grow stronger.
Strong enough to control her own fate, strong enough to say "no" to others.
Yu Xiaogang's theories might have been basic, but they were also a way to solidify one's foundation.
Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and forced herself to focus.
She picked up her pen and began writing down the key points Yu Xiaogang explained in her notebook.
Tang San and Cinderella, seated on the other side, were comparatively calm.
They truly had heard this material more than once before.
Back at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, Yu Xiaogang had often given them extra lessons and explained all kinds of Soul Master theories.
With her obedient and studious image, Cinderella had borrowed a vast number of books from Yu Xiaogang and understood the Soul Master system far better than others her age.
"Tang San, did you notice?"
"What Teacher Yu covered today is more systematic and more in-depth than what he taught in Notting City."
Tang San nodded slightly. "He's refining his theoretical system."
Tang San's gaze settled on Yu Xiaogang, with a trace of scrutiny deep in his eyes.
His feelings toward Yu Xiaogang had become somewhat complicated.
