Chapter 132: Ning Rongrong's Comeback Against the Wind

"What is this?"

Someone asked in confusion.

Driven by an inexplicable impulse, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly turned to the side and hugged Qin Jian.

Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and Xiao Wu all widened their eyes.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Just then, Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul, the Nether Spirit Cat, instantly fused completely with Qin Jian's martial soul, and then streaks of sword shadows wove into a dense net before everyone's eyes.

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?!"

Before the others could react, the Soul Emperor elder's eyes lit up: "Not bad, not bad, you two have great potential."

And Dai Mubai's face had already turned black.

Xiao Wu couldn't help but say: "Hey, hey, you just said you had good martial soul compatibility with that girl and might be able to trigger a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and now she's gone and fused with someone else."

Dai Mubai: "..."

Now, the person in the center of the scene feeling the most uncomfortable was Ning Rongrong.

She had originally thought that Qin Jian only had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with her, but now, out of nowhere, another one had appeared...

"Zhuqing, withdraw your soul power."

Qin Jian noticed Ning Rongrong's gaze immediately and hurriedly separated from Zhu Zhuqing, then withdrew his soul power.

The light on both of them vanished simultaneously, and the newly formed Martial Soul Fusion Skill dissipated.

Seeing the two of them walk over, the others had different expressions; only Tang San looked normal, because he didn't know anything...

"Hello, we meet again," he smiled.

"Hello."

Qin Jian nodded at him to show friendliness.

Then he met Ning Rongrong's gaze again; this time it wasn't A Glance for Ten Thousand Years, this time it was full of killing intent.

"Uh, Rongrong..."

Qin Jian bit the bullet and greeted her, not knowing what to do.

He had wanted to greet Xiao Wu as well, but the moment she saw him look over, she rolled her eyes to the sky, looking as if she didn't want to pay him any mind.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the place for the second Assessment," Dai Mubai said.

If not for Zhu Zhuqing being right there, Qin Jian would have wanted to thank Dai Mubai for the rescue.

Entering the village, all one could see were wooden structures; the words "simple and plain" were the most appropriate way to describe the architecture here.

They hadn't walked far before Dai Mubai led them to an open space.

Surrounded by wooden houses, this open space was about five hundred square meters, located exactly in the center of Shrek Academy.

The examinees who had passed the preliminary test were in front, and the obvious fluctuations of soul power made the air tremble irregularly.

Dai Mubai pointed to the examinees queuing in front and said: "They are taking the second test here; you shouldn't need to participate. I'll go get the Test Crystal."

After he walked away, only Qin Jian, Tang San, and the three girls were left in the area, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange again.

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, who had her back to Qin Jian, then at Ning Rongrong, who was staring at Qin Jian, and finally at the vigilant-looking Zhu Zhuqing, feeling completely baffled.

"Qin Jian..."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong suddenly spoke in a gentle, soft voice: "Congratulations... your martial soul is so compatible with this girl's... A Martial Soul Fusion Skill, how rare..."

What should he do now?

Qin Jian was instantly at a loss, having no idea how to handle this situation.

"Qin Jian, is she the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect you mentioned?" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly asked coldly.

"The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Tang San was surprised, but no one paid him any mind.

"Yes, that's me."

Ning Rongrong revealed a smile that looked very amiable: "Qin Jian and I grew up together, so... are you two currently adventuring together?"

"Not growing up together with you at all..."

Xiao Wu muttered under her breath, but unfortunately, the voice was too soft to be heard by anyone.

"Grew up together..."

Zhu Zhuqing finally understood the current situation; it seemed this little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also liked Qin Jian very much.

The chill on her face thawed slightly, and she said: "Yes, he is accompanying me on my adventure now, and choosing Shrek Academy was also my idea."

This remark was also quite sharp, clearly telling Ning Rongrong that although you grew up together, he is by my side now, and even coming to Shrek was her choice.

Ning Rongrong's expression indeed stiffened; she had originally thought Qin Jian wanted to come to Shrek Academy on his own, never imagining there was this reason.

And at this moment, Tang San finally understood the situation before him and couldn't help but glance at Qin Jian, feeling greatly surprised that he could spark a rivalry between two beautiful young girls.

"Qin Jian, is your Ocean's Tear still there?"

Ning Rongrong prepared to play her trump card: "That pair of sect treasures that belong to the two of us, which can only fuse when our hearts are in sync... is it still there?"

"Hum, hum!"

Before Qin Jian could answer, a blue light of the ocean suddenly flickered on her forehead, and on Qin Jian's side, it lit up in the same instant, reflecting each other.

"We are both still fused with the Ocean's Tear!"

Ning Rongrong smiled like a flower: "Doesn't that mean our hearts are still in sync?"

A comeback against the wind, a finishing blow!

Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say at all; she knew she had been completely defeated in this round...

Qin Jian looked at the light radiating from the Ocean's Tear on Ning Rongrong's forehead and the smile she kept on her face, but felt a pang of heartache.

He didn't know what kind of soul-searching Ning Rongrong had gone through, what kind of struggle she had experienced, to finally be able to maintain the fusion of the Ocean's Tear.

But there is no doubt that in this relationship, she chose to trust him completely, which is why there is such a result, and why there is the Ning Rongrong who has been smiling before our eyes.

In her heart, is she bitter?

Qin Jian gritted his teeth tightly, struggling not to let an unusual expression show on his face.

But for Ning Rongrong, this expression of his was already enough; knowing Qin Jian very well, she had already sensed the heartache hidden in his eyes.

Therefore, she smiled even more beautifully...

Just at this moment, a soft, mushy voice rang out.

"Selling Sausages, selling Sausages, take a look, come and see, don't miss out as you pass by, Oscar-brand Sausages, delicious and sweet, cheap and filling, only five copper coins each. Eat an Oscar-brand Sausage, and I guarantee you'll find it easier to pass the entrance exam."

The group turned their heads to look, only to see a person pushing a cart and hawking their wares not far away.

Waves of meaty fragrance wafted from the cart, and some students already in line had walked over to buy some.

The person standing behind the cart wore simple gray clothes, had neat short hair, and a face full of thick whiskers, yet possessed a pair of large peach-blossom eyes, his gaze darting specifically toward the girls in the examinee line.

And naturally, Ning Rongrong, Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu could not escape the scanning of his gaze.

It was hard to believe that such a soft, mushy voice could actually come from the mouth of a man with such a rugged appearance.

Tang San said to Xiao Wu, "There are still a few people ahead, and you didn't eat much for breakfast; do you want to eat a Sausage?"

Xiao Wu tilted her head and said, "It smells pretty good, so let's give it a try."

"Don't!"

Qin Jian hurriedly called out, "Don't you dare eat his Sausages!"
