Qian Renxue said calmly, "This is information I obtained from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School; the details of the marriage agreement are written on it."
The letter stated that they would hold their wedding after they came of age, and there were less than two years left until they reached adulthood. Jun Yi took a deep breath, looking at the letter in his hand, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
" Jun Yi, what do you think?" Qian Renxue's voice interrupted his thoughts.
Jun Yi raised his head, looked into Qian Renxue's curious eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know, I need time to think it through."
Qian Renxue nodded, said nothing more, and silently left.
It was late at night, Jun Yi sat alone by the window, still clutching the letter in his hand. His thoughts were in turmoil; Ning Rongrong, Tang San, and their engagement were making him feel somewhat overwhelmed.
After a long while, he sighed softly and slowly put down the letter in his hand. He slowly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the moonlight outside, and made up his mind.
The next morning, Jun Yi found Qian Renxue Qian Renxue and said to her, " Xue'er, I'm going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Qian Renxue glanced at him and said calmly, "What do you think about the engagement?"
"It's all arranged by parents and matchmakers. I'm no longer that fool who just spouts slogans all day. Since Ning Fengzhi has decided to marry Ning Rongrong to Tang San, I have nothing more to say." Jun Yi's tone was also very calm, making it impossible to discern his true attitude.
"Whatever you want. By the way, the location for your new faction has been decided. It's in Iron Tree City, five miles outside of Gengxin City. Mother is really willing to invest in you; she actually bought the entire city and renovated it. Do you want to go and take a look at the city, and maybe talk to the leaders in Gengxin City?"
Qian Renxue said to Jun Yi that she understood that Jun Yi must be extremely sad. After all, she had sent him to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect when he was a child. Her original plan was to use Jun Yi to marry Ning Rongrong and infiltrate the school. Then, when Ning Fengzhi stepped down, she would reveal her true identity to Jun Yi.
By then, Xue Ye will surely be long dead. If Jun Yi chooses to join the Spirit Hall, then she can control the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect through him. If Jun Yi refuses, Qian Renxue doesn't mind becoming Jun Yi and doing the same things as now.
However, she did not expect that things would develop in a way that was completely beyond her expectations, so she abandoned the plan.
"Let's talk about it after it's built. As for those blacksmiths in Gengxin City, you can show them these things later, and they'll definitely agree to join our forces."
As he spoke, Jun Yi took out all the Soul Tool blueprints he currently possessed, from level one to level six, all kinds and all sorts of them, and placed them on the table, which was as tall as half a person.
"These are the blueprints for the Soul Tool I drew before. Xue'er, you can show this to Senior Lou Gao. He will definitely agree to join our sect."
Qian Renxue stared at the Soul Tool blueprints on the table, her eyes filled with surprise. The blueprint at the top read "Level 6 Attack-Type Soul Tool." According to her understanding of Soul Tool, a Level 6 Soul Tool could at least unleash an attack at the Soul Saint level. If it outputted even stronger Soul Power, the attack could even reach the Soul Douluo.
"I truly never imagined you could create such an exquisite Soul Tool. I really misjudged you; I should have sent you to the Spirit Hall sooner."
Qian Renxue recalled how Jun Yi had come to her as a child with a Soul Tool, wanting to demonstrate it to her. However, Jun Yi at that time had no Soul Power and couldn't activate the Soul Tool at all. At the time, she thought Jun Yi was just joking with her and casually sent him away. Now, thinking about it, she truly regretted it.
"Then I'll leave this matter to Xue'er. I have some things to do, so I won't keep you company any longer," Jun Yi said slowly.
"Yes, don't worry, I won't be like Ning Fengzhi, discarding you after you've served your purpose. Besides, my mother likes you..."
Seeing the atmosphere become somewhat silent, Jun Yi bowed slightly to Qian Renxue, then turned to leave.
"I hope you won't do anything to hurt your mother, otherwise, I won't let you off the hook."
After speaking, Jun Yi transformed into a streak of light and departed from the place.
"Auntie, can you hear me?"
Qian Renxue then took out her Communication Soul Tool and began communicating with the girl Bibi Dong.
Meanwhile, when Jun Yi returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he found that the entire campus had expanded considerably.
The entire campus area has at least doubled, and the original school buildings have been redesigned and replanned into new teaching buildings and dormitories. However, white silk ribbons are hung on them as a way of mourning the death of Xue Ye.
"It seems the royal family is very satisfied with the results of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy this time, otherwise they wouldn't have been willing to invest in building a new teaching area," he murmured to himself.
He then returned to his dormitory and found that only Zhu Zhuqing was waiting for him.
"You're back." Zhu Zhuqing's tone was very calm, like a wife who had been with her husband for many years waiting for his return.
"Yes, Zhu Zhuqing, you should rest well these next few days. After some time, I'll take you and Sister Yanyan out to sea. After all, you've had the Sea God's Heart for quite some time now, it's time for you to inherit the Sea God's Godhood."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, then fell silent. After hesitating for a long time, she spoke, "Okay. Jun Yi, about Rongrong, I wonder if you have any information?"
"You already knew?"
"Yes, my teacher told me." Zhu Zhuqing slowly lowered her head.
"I don't blame you." Jun Yi walked to Zhu Zhuqing's side and gently stroked her hair. "It's impossible between Rongrong and me now. Sword Chen Xin must die, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is destined to perish." Zhu Zhuqing looked up at Jun Yi: " Jun Yi, don't you want to try to win her back? You truly love Rongrong; I can clearly feel your longing and care for her." Jun Yi was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "Yes, I love Ning Rongrong, but things are one thing at a time. Sword Chen Xin's pursuit of me can't be left like this. If Sword Chen Xin was only pursuing me, I could endure it."
"But he really killed you. That's something I can never forgive." A hint of sadness flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. Jun Yi then continued, " Zhu Zhuqing, if I have an irreconcilable conflict with Sister Yanyan's grandfather, then tell me, whose side does Sister Yanyan ultimately choose to help? I think any normal person would choose their family, right?"
