Chapter 56: Anxious Zhu Zhuqing
🕑 Added 2025-03-08 11:42:04 +0000 UTC“According to the time, we should be there by now.”
Ye Cheng suddenly thought of something. He first used his mind to communicate with the space marker far away in Suotuo City, and then initiated the space transfer. In this way, he could achieve the effect of teleporting across tens of millions of miles in an instant.
With a whoosh, the whole person disappeared from the spot.
The other side.
At this time, Zhu Zhuqing, under the leadership of Ning Rongrong, came to the outside of a courtyard.
Looking at this secluded and quiet courtyard.
Zhu Zhuqing couldn’t help feeling a little nervous, because she had a premonition that the person living in the courtyard in front of her might be the one who could change her destiny.
The one who had become his teacher in the original future, the one who had helped him escape his family’s fate.
“Boom boom!”
Compared to Zhu Zhuqing’s nervousness, Ning Rongrong seemed heartless. She walked up to the outer courtyard door and knocked hard.
“Brother, are you there?”
“Look who I brought here.”
She shouted loudly, as if trying to alarm the people in the courtyard.
“…”
After a while.
A clear voice was just heard from the courtyard.
“…Come in.”
The words fell.
The gate to the outer courtyard clicked, as if influenced by some invisible force, and slowly opened…
“Come on, Zhuqing, let’s go in.”
When Ning Rongrong saw the door open, she immediately grabbed Zhu Zhuqing’s hand and dragged her inside.
As for why it is described as dragging and pulling.
This was mainly because Zhu Zhuqing was about to meet the person she had been dreaming about, and was worried that a rash visit would leave a bad impression on the other party. She was so nervous that her limbs were stiff and she even felt her whole body numb.
He couldn't even walk, and had to rely on Ning Rongrong to drag him inside stiffly.
This is a simple courtyard.
There are some unknown flowers and green saplings planted around, and the plants are arranged in a staggered manner. Although the overall style of the yard cannot be called gorgeous, it has a natural charm.
Ning Rongrong took Zhu Zhuqing along the cobblestone walkway. Although it was called a small courtyard, it was actually not small at all. After the two of them walked along the walkway and walked around a few times, the view in front of them became wider again.
Under a lush willow tree.
There is a stone table and a stone bench, and a man in white is leisurely drinking tea. The breeze blows, and the willow leaves are flying.
The elegant fragrance of tea floated towards her with the wind.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the indifferent and otherworldly figure, and her nervous heart slowly calmed down for some reason. It seemed that the scene in front of her had a magical power to soothe her soul.
Ning Rongrong didn’t care about that. She just took her hand and walked straight to the willow tree. She said to the man in white who was leisurely drinking tea, “Brother, look who I brought to you!”
Ye Cheng put down his teacup, and his warm and clear eyes were fixed on Zhu Zhuqing, as if he had known her for a long time. It seemed that he was not at all surprised by her arrival. He was too lazy to even act.
“…”
Zhu Zhuqing tensed up all over. She felt that the other person’s gentle eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. In his eyes, she was like naked, and all her secrets were exposed!
This feeling is frankly terrible!
If it were someone else, the kitten would have scratched him with its claws.
“…Take a seat.”
After looking at him for a while, Ye Cheng withdrew his gaze and spoke slowly.
Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief, her tense body relaxed, and she sat down on the stone bench with Ning Rongrong.
“Rongrong, what do you want to do by bringing this little girl to me?” He turned his gaze to Ning Rongrong and asked knowingly.
As for Ning Rongrong bringing Zhu Zhuqing here, in fact, everything was within his calculations. After all, he had revealed before, intentionally or unintentionally, that he was going to create a school to train some students to participate in the All-Continent Spirit Master Competition in a few years.
At that time, Ning Rongrong shouted that it was interesting and even said that she wanted to join the school he was about to establish.
“Brother, didn’t you say you wanted to build a soul master academy?” Ning Rongrong blinked her big eyes and said as a matter of course: “So, I am bringing you an excellent student.”
“Zhu Qing is very talented and hardworking.” Ning Rongrong came close to him, hugged his arm and shook it, and said coquettishly: “Brother, just accept her~”
Ye Cheng was silent for a while, then said: “You brought her here, I’m afraid it’s not just as simple as wanting her to be a student.”
“Hey, I can’t hide it from my brother after all.”
Ning Rongrong tapped her head lightly, stuck out her tongue and acted cute, then continued, “In the previous Q&A, in the clip about the future, didn’t Zhuqing become brother’s apprentice? So I thought, since she can become brother’s apprentice in the future, there must be a reason. Why not let him become your disciple in advance.”
“Brother, just accept her~” Ning Rongrong hugged his arm and shook it.
“…”
Ye Cheng did not speak, but turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing again and said calmly: “Your qualifications, I believe you know it yourself. Although I don’t know why I would accept you as my disciple in the original future. But from my observations during this period of time, you don’t have any merits worthy of me accepting you as my disciple.”
“…”
Zhu Zhuqing couldn’t hide her disappointment when she heard his words that implied rejection. Her face turned extremely pale in an instant, and she felt like she had fallen from heaven to hell.
There is nothing more despairing than the feeling of having hope and then losing it.
Ning Rongrong, who was standing by, became anxious when she saw this. She had brought Zhu Zhuqing here with good intentions, and most importantly, she wanted to have a companion when they practiced together in the future. How could she be eliminated like this?
“Brother, what you said is wrong.”
Ning Rongrong let go of her hand, put her hands on her hips and retorted, “Since you were going to accept Zhu Qing in the original future, it means that Zhu Qing must have some advantages that you don’t see now. So it’s really wrong for you to reject her as soon as you met her.”
“What you said makes sense.”
Ye Cheng seemed to have heard her rebuttal and actually began to consider it.
Hope rekindled in Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes! She unconsciously clenched her hands and looked at him pitifully, like a puppy about to be abandoned by its owner, waiting for the final outcome of fate.
Time passes by every second.
Ye Cheng pretended to be thinking, but in fact he was secretly glancing at Zhu Zhuqing’s expression, admiring her rare look.
It seems that the cooking time is almost right.
Ye Cheng finally said slowly: “Okay, you convinced me.”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have lost all her strength, her whole body went limp, and she was about to fall backwards with no energy left. Fortunately, Ning Rongrong appeared behind her in time to support her, and said happily: “That’s great, Zhuqing.”
“Thank you, Rongrong!” Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Rongrong and really didn’t know how to express her gratitude.
“Don’t be too happy too soon.”
Seeing the two girls’ delight, Ye Cheng poured cold water on them, saying, “I can accept you as my disciple temporarily, but if your performance in the future fails to satisfy me, then I don’t mind expelling you from the sect.”
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing’s smile faded slightly, but her inner excitement remained undiminished. After all, she was accepted as a disciple.
How many people would beg for this good thing?
