Chapter 21 Taking Over the Shadow, Xue Qinghe Returns to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School
Seeing Ning Rongrong like this, Li Jiuyou felt relieved.
well.
That's good.
All the hard work over the past few months has paid off.
Ning Rongrong's feelings for him now are deeper than mere affection, and more absolute than mere trust.
This is what dependency is all about!
Li Jiuyou was very satisfied with this, but if possible, he would continue to deepen this relationship and make it even more unbreakable.
From dependence to interdependence.
To be the other's spiritual pillar, to become the sole source of life, and to be the meaning of existence itself.
It's best to do this well, but it's not a big deal if you can't.
Because it's enough for now.
Li Jiuyou asked gently:
"Miss Rongrong, are you alright? What are you doing here?"
"I'm fine. I'm here because..."
Ning Rongrong lowered her head and remained silent.
What else could it be...?
Of course, it's because I'm worried about your injuries, you big idiot, and I wanted to stay with you.
I couldn't wake up, and then I got sleepy, plus the weather was excessively cold.
then……
Then, instinctively, I slipped into the warm blankets...
There was a knock at the door, and then Ning Fengzhi pushed the door open and walked in, followed by Gu Rong and Chen Xin.
"Nine Netherworld, thank you so much this time, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do!"
Ning Fengzhi walked over and solemnly thanked him:
"I know what happened. It was Rongrong who was naughty and didn't know any better and insisted on letting you go out with her. Otherwise, you wouldn't have run into the bandits... You got such serious injuries because of protecting Rongrong."
"Last night I called the old master of the Ye family of the Nine Heart Begonia to treat your injuries. I guarantee that you will not have any hidden ailments, and the scars will be completely removed. You don't need to worry."
Li Jiuyou understood upon hearing this.
He said he couldn't feel any pain at all.
I initially thought he had been unconscious for a long time, but it turns out that a Soul Master with the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul had come by.
"Thank you very much, Uncle Ning."
"I should be thanking you."
Ning Fengzhi became more and more satisfied with Li Jiuyou, and the slight suspicion he had before was completely forgotten.
Li Jiuyou single-handedly fought against eleven bandits, one of whom was a level 20+ Soul Master.
Ning Rongrong won such a beautiful battle in the first fight without being injured at all; it was all thanks to Li Jiuyou who took the fall for her.
"Rongrong, this whole thing started because of you! Apologize to Jiuyou right now!"
Ning Rongrong was startled by Ning Fengzhi's sudden rebuke.
Just as she was about to apologize as Ning Fengzhi had suggested, she felt her hand being held under the covers. Warmth was transmitted from the other person's palm, raising her body temperature and making her heart beat faster.
"No need for an apology; that would make it seem like Miss Rongrong and I are becoming distant."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong made a face at Ning Fengzhi and then snuggled up to Li Jiuyou.
"Little Jiuyou is good, Daddy is bad!"
Ning Fengzhi's expression froze.
Replenish!
my daughter!
He glanced at Li Jiuyou with a complicated expression.
Although he had predicted this, and even considered bringing them together, he still felt somewhat upset when it actually happened.
Forget it.
Ning Fengzhi calmed himself down and continued chatting.
"Jiuyou is right. We shouldn't be too formal. You can address each other more affectionately in your daily interactions."
"Then may I offend... Rongrong?"
"Ah, I'm here!"
Ning Rongrong blushed quickly, then replied softly, her voice so soft that even Li Jiuyou, who was so close, couldn't hear her clearly.
If Li Jiuyou hadn't seen that she actually opened her mouth, he would have thought she hadn't said anything.
"Nine Netherworlds, well done."
Chen Xin praised Li Jiuyou.
Last night, Gu Rong went in the opposite direction, and the sect must have a Title Douluo in charge.
If he had gone in person, the two would not have encountered such a terrible disaster.
But thankfully I didn't go.
Otherwise, one wouldn't be able to see Li Jiuyou's pure and innocent heart.
Having gone that far, Chen Xin now completely acknowledged Li Jiuyou.
Li Jiuyou just smiled, looking embarrassed.
Just as Chen Xin was about to continue speaking, Gu Rong spoke up:
"Oh dear, this old body of mine will eventually have to retire and enjoy its golden years. Jiuyou, you should familiarize yourself with the shadow as soon as possible; I'll be entrusting it to you from now on!"
Li Jiuyou was somewhat surprised.
Should we entrust our shadows to ourselves?
What a great thing!
"Old bones, how can my disciple waste his time on such things! How can a swordsman advance fearlessly if he does this?!"
"Screw you, I think it's fine to learn from me too."
"you!"
Ning Fengzhi was both amused and exasperated, and quickly advised:
"Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu, stop arguing for now. Let's listen to what Jiu You has to say and see what he thinks."
Then all three of them turned their gazes to Li Jiuyou, who quickly put on a troubled expression.
After a long silence, he tightened his grip on Ning Rongrong's hand and said:
"I will try to reach out to the shadows. If a situation like last night happens again, I hope Rongrong will not be in any danger."
"good!"
Gu Rong laughed heartily, strode forward, patted Li Jiuyou on the shoulder, and raised an eyebrow at Chen Xin.
"Old Swordsman, take a look!"
"cut."
"Grandpa Sword, don't worry, I won't neglect my sword practice. I practice swordsmanship for protection, and I also come into contact with the shadows for protection. My heart will never change."
Chen Xin nodded upon hearing this, his expression natural.
"Old bones, in the end, I still won!"
The two started bickering again, while the others just smiled helplessly.
Ning Fengzhi thought to himself, "No matter who wins, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has won!"
At that moment, there was another knock on the door.
Everyone stopped what they were doing, and Ning Fengzhi spoke up:
"Enter."
Then the door was pushed open, and it was one of Ning Fengzhi's confidants.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, the First Prince Xue Qinghe has arrived and is waiting for you in the council hall!"
"Why is he here?"
The ancient banyan tree touched its head.
Xue Qinghe's arrival yesterday led to a series of unpleasant events.
Although it wasn't directly related to him, Gu Rong just disliked how young he was and how he had so many thoughts. He preferred someone like Li Jiuyou.
Children should be like this.
"The Crown Prince said that because bandits were rampant near Tiandou City, he specially launched a bandit suppression campaign and invited boys and girls who were no more than level 25 to participate."
Ning Fengzhi frowned.
This move resulted in checkmate.
The fact that the bandits were suppressed means that Xue Qinghe already knows what happened last night, and may even have some understanding of Li Jiuyou.
Was it because he had people within the sect, or because his people witnessed it firsthand?
According to Elder Fang, he saw Xue Qinghe's people on the way.
However, the strongest among them, the Soul King, could not witness it firsthand.
This open event meant that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could not communicate with him privately or test him.
Because he launched the public-facing activity based on the plausible reason that "bandits are rampant."
The reasons are sufficient and in line with public opinion.
It can help one accumulate a reputation for virtue, attract talented young people, and test the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Young talents below level 25.
This means that Xue Qinghe is willing to fund and provide a platform for the teenagers to become famous.
Since he has proposed this plan, the procedures must have already been drafted.
If I'm not mistaken, the scions of the families within Tiandou City, and even the more distant young geniuses, will be invited to participate.
This event is related to the reputation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
