Upon hearing Zhu Zhuyun's question.
Zhu Zhuqing gently shook her head, affirming:
"Sister, Teacher and the others won't be detrimental to me or the Zhu family."
As her voice faded.
Under Zhu Zhuyun's astonished gaze.
A sincere smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's petite, jade-like face.
"As for any other purpose..."
"Just as you said, Sister, I'm merely a discarded pawn. I only wish Teacher could use me."
"Let me know that he needs me."
"Tell me that his Zhuqing isn't a discarded pawn, but someone useful and valuable."
Zhu Zhuqing looked up at Zhu Zhuyun.
Tilting her head, she smiled radiantly, a heartfelt, joyful, and expectant smile.
Smiling, she said sweetly:
"That way, I can accept Teacher's kindness with peace of mind."
"Zhuqing..."
Zhu Zhuyun opened her mouth, her heart twitching.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's radiant smile, she felt heartache and regret... her delicate nose tingled.
She wanted to say something...
But she didn't know how to say it.
She was worried about Zhuqing, but she couldn't, not like in the past...
To give her sister care and greetings as a matter of course.
Their sisterly relationship had long changed!
Zhu Zhuqing slowly retracted the smile on her face, pursing her red lips.
A hint of sweetness hung at the corner of her lips.
"Thank you for the reminder, Sister. I should go cultivate now, Teacher is waiting for me."
"Goodbye, Sister."
Zhu Zhuqing raised her jade hand and waved gently at Zhu Zhuyun.
A bitter expression on her lowered pretty face.
She twisted her delicate body, bypassed Zhu Zhuyun, and was about to leave her alone.
Just as the sisters brushed past each other.
Zhu Zhuyun bit her silver teeth and shouted:
"Zhuqing! Do you know, that bastard, he did something to me"...
"Ah——!"
Before she could finish speaking.
Zhu Zhuyun clutched her chest, her eyes filled with fear, and hurriedly stopped speaking.
Her breathing became rapid, and cold sweat overflowed from her forehead.
"Hmm?"
Zhu Zhuqing paused.
Turning her head, she looked at Zhu Zhuyun's slightly bowed back with incomprehension.
Was Sister scolding Teacher just now?
"..."
After pondering for a moment.
Zhu Zhuqing ignored it and went straight to the back mountain of the Zhu family.
"Sister!"
Zhu Zhuyun quickly turned around, reaching out to try to keep her.
But she couldn't keep anything, she could only watch the immature figure leave.
Zhu Zhuqing turned a deaf ear to Zhu Zhuyun's call.
What she said just now might have been a little humble... but that was her true thought.
Teacher is very good to her.
She wanted to do something for Qian Renxue.
Only in this way could she lie in Teacher's arms with peace of mind.
Thinking of Qian Renxue.
A shy smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's face, and she quickly ran towards the back mountain.
Before long.
Zhu Zhuqing ran into the small forest.
On the tall, crooked tree, two strands of tree vines hung down and were tied together.
Her teacher was sitting on the vines.
Ling Yuan Mianxia was standing behind the teacher, gently pushing the swing.
Looking at Qian Renxue's appearance.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't think he was childish at all, she only found it interesting, and a little envious.
She crisply called out.
"Teacher!"
"Why are you late today, Zhuqing?"
Qian Renxue sat on the simple swing, smiling as he asked.
"I was delayed a bit talking with Sister."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't hide anything.
She quickly ran forward, stood behind Qian Renxue, and smiled softly:
"Ling Yuan Mianxia, let Zhuqing push."
"Alright."
Ling Yuan gave up the position to Zhu Zhuqing, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
She stood aside and neatly took out a fruit plate to feed him.
"Your sister?"
A hint of surprise appeared on Qian Renxue's face.
He opened his mouth to take the dragon fruit slices that Ling Yuan handed over.
"Yes, Sister knows about the existence of Teacher and Ling Yuan Mianxia, and is afraid that Teacher has ulterior motives..."
Zhu Zhuqing pushed Qian Renxue's back, explaining truthfully.
"Haha..."
Qian Renxue chuckled.
It seemed that Zhu Zhuyun still cared about Zhu Zhuqing in her heart.
"What does Zhuqing think?"
Qian Renxue asked with a smile.
He was not worried that Zhu Zhuyun would reveal the matter of the [Mark of Darkness].
Zhu Zhuqing stroked Qian Renxue's solid, thin back.
She said seriously: "If Teacher wants to do something, Zhuqing can help Teacher do it."
A hint of satisfaction appeared on Qian Renxue's face.
"Teacher doesn't need you to do anything now, you are still young... cultivate well."
"You're not allowed to drop the ball when there are tasks in the future."
Hearing Qian Renxue's words.
A sincere smile bloomed on Zhu Zhuqing's face, and she was overjoyed.
She nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, Zhuqing will do her best!"
Knowing that Qian Renxue would have something to order her in the future.
Zhu Zhuqing felt even more at ease, she never wanted to be called a discarded pawn again.
She is Teacher's disciple!
Teacher is a peerless genius who is about to break through to Title Douluo before the age of eighteen!
She must not embarrass Teacher!
"Yes."
Qian Renxue nodded gently, and instructed.
"Don't be too competitive, during cultivation, at any time... Teacher is here."
"Zhuqing knows."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly.
She raised her hands to hold the milk jujube that Qian Renxue handed back.
Qian Renxue smiled and instructed:
"Start cultivating after eating the fruit, today is four times the gravity."
"After cultivation, Teacher will accompany you to swing for a while."
Qian Renxue didn't forget that Zhu Zhuqing was still a child.
Crack!
Zhu Zhuqing took a bite of the jujube in her hand.
The outer skin was slightly astringent, the inside was white, crisp, juicy, and the taste was very fresh...
She raised her eyes and said obsessively:
"It's fine for Teacher to play, Zhuqing likes to push."
"..."
Qian Renxue couldn't help but smile.
Ling Yuan Douluo looked strangely at the little girl Zhu Zhuqing.
She was pampering His Highness so much at such a young age, what would happen when she grew up?!
————
Time passed slowly.
The participating teams from the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire arrived in Wuhun City one after another.
On the Heaven Dou Empire side.
It was Crown Prince Xue Qinghe who led the team with Dugu Bo as the royal representative.
Originally, with Dugu Bo present.
Ning Fengzhi was dispensable, but because Ning Rongrong wanted to see her fiancé.
And he also learned from Ning Rongrong.
That Qian Renxue from Wuhun Hall would participate in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
Out of curiosity and doting on his little princess.
He still brought Ning Rongrong to watch the battle under the protection of Sword Douluo.
Under the leadership of the red-clothed bishop.
The Heaven Dou Empire's participating team stepped into the hexagonal Wuhun City.
Ning Rongrong grabbed Ning Fengzhi's big hand.
Looking left and right.
Looking at the slightly deserted streets and the central sacred mountain.
Her eyes were full of curiosity.
She raised her delicate face, her bright eyes turning.
She asked sweetly:
"Daddy, is this where Holy Son Brother grew up? Where does Holy Son Brother live... how do we find him?"
"Hehe. Don't worry, Rongrong."
Ning Fengzhi smiled dotingly, reminding her.
"The competition only starts tomorrow. We can't run around here."
"Ah, doesn't that mean we can only meet tomorrow?!"
Ning Rongrong pouted unhappily.
In the middle of the team, among the personnel of Thunder Academy, Liu Erlong looked at the central sacred mountain.
Her eyes were filled with apprehension and anticipation.
I wish you all a happy life!
