~7 min read 1,285 words

"A farce."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head and stood up.

He walked over to Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong and smiled, "You two have a betrothal now, so you must not be fickle."

His smiling expression made Qin Jian's body stiffen slightly.

"Jian'er, you have already reached Level 20, when do you plan to..."

Jian Douluo saw that Qin Jian did not know how to answer, so he stepped forward to ask.

He knew that everything Qin Jian had done for Ning Rongrong recently was because they were about to be separated.

As a teacher, he could only help his personal disciple think of a way to appease Ning Fengzhi...

"Teacher, Poison Douluo should give me what he promised today, and then I want to spend some time alone with Rongrong..." Qin Jian said in a low voice.

"Brother Jian, what is it that you are going to give me?" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but look up and ask.

Qin Jian managed to show a faint smile: "You'll know when the time comes; come find me after dinner tonight."

"Oh..."

Ning Rongrong nodded blankly.

Watching Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong walk out hand in hand, Ning Fengzhi was somewhat dazed.

"Jian Shu, why does this child Qin Jian seem so preoccupied lately? Do you know what is going on?" He couldn't help but ask.

Jian Douluo thought for a moment, then said: "Fengzhi, there are some special things about Qin Jian, so he might do some things you cannot understand..."

"However, I can guarantee that he will never do anything to betray the sect," he said solemnly.

Ning Fengzhi frowned and said: "What I am most concerned about right now is not the sect, but whether he can bring happiness to Rongrong."

Jian Douluo was silent for a moment, then said: "He will definitely be able to bring Rongrong happiness. I believe in his character, it's just that the process might be a bit bumpy..."

"Jian Shu..."

Ning Fengzhi hesitated, but still said: "Jian Shu, Qin Jian is now Rongrong's fiancé, so I want to understand what his problem is and why the process would be bumpy. If you still trust me, please tell me..."

"This is not a request as a Sect Master, this is just a request from a father," he said solemnly.

Jian Douluo sighed; he knew that since Ning Fengzhi had spoken to this extent, he could no longer continue to hide it.

"Sect Master, it is like this..."

"..."

Not mentioning how Jian Douluo communicated with Ning Fengzhi about Qin Jian's issues, half a day later, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo finally appeared before Qin Jian again.

"Little thing, I have brought you the Tulip you wanted."

Taking the Qiluo Tulip handed over by Dugu Bo, there was no excitement on Qin Jian's face.

"What? You finally got what you wanted, and you're not happy at all?" Dugu Bo glanced at him and said.

Qin Jian managed a smile and said: "This is the final gift. Now that it has come to this, I can no longer be happy."

"I really don't know what you little thing are talking about. At such an age, shouldn't you be carefree?"

Dugu Bo crossed his arms and said: "When I was your age, I don't know how much trouble I caused. What are you afraid of! Just do what you want to do!"

"Thank you, Senior."

Qin Jian thanked him solemnly, then said: "In three years at the earliest, or five years at the latest, I will definitely bring someone to detoxify you and Dugu Yan."

Dugu Bo nodded, then suddenly tossed over the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum he had picked earlier: "I find you little thing quite pleasing to the eye. Since I've already picked this, I'll give it to you as well."

Qin Jian caught it in a flurry.

"A young person shouldn't be so preoccupied. You are still young, no matter what you encounter, there is always a chance to start over."

Dugu Bo waved his hand and said: "Then goodbye."

Qin Jian didn't even have time to thank him again before Dugu Bo's figure had already vanished.

A Title Douluo is truly that elusive...

Qin Jian shook his head, looking at the Qiluo Tulip in his left hand and the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in his right: "I didn't expect there to be a bonus."

He carefully stored both Immortal Herbs into his Soul Guidance Device before walking toward the direction of the large-scale Mimicry Cultivation Ground of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

And when he finally reached the entrance of the cultivation ground, he saw Ning Rongrong's petite figure already waiting there.

"Brother Jian! Brother Jian!"

She threw herself at him very skillfully.

Qin Jian also skillfully wrapped her soft body into his arms.

"Brother Jian, why are we meeting here today?" Ning Rongrong asked in his ear.

Qin Jian smiled and said: "Here... I asked an Elder to restore some things. We will spend the night inside here today."

"Spend the night inside the Mimicry Cultivation Ground?"

Ning Rongrong looked up at him, and suddenly blushed: "Is it... a date?"

Qin Jian pursed his lips, then replied in a low voice: "Mm!"

After the two walked into the cultivation ground hand in hand, the figures of Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo also appeared outside the entrance.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen..."

Ning Fengzhi's expression was not good: "If Rongrong weren't so attached to him, I would really want to heartlessly tear them apart."

Jian Douluo shook his head and said: "Many times, external force not only fails to tear them apart, but may also cause them to become even more deeply attached."

"Fengzhi, just treat this as a difficult test..."

He said solemnly: "There is no such thing as happiness that can be obtained easily in this world. The power to make future decisions lies in their own hands."

"Perhaps..."

Ning Fengzhi's gaze stared deeply at the entrance: "If it is truly destined by fate, then there is no need for me to be the villain. If they don't have enough affinity, then let it be a test for Rongrong..."

"I believe this will allow her to truly grow up. After all, I cannot protect her for a lifetime..."

Inside the Mimicry Cultivation Ground.

Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong walked past, hand in hand.

There were high mountains, rivers, forests, deserts, snow-capped mountains, and oceans...

"Brother Jian, these are all scenes we have experienced before. Except for the lack of natural disaster trials, everything else is the same, and the weather is much more comfortable too."

Ning Rongrong's eyes were filled with nostalgia; even though not much time had passed, she still felt a sense of distance.

Because at that time, she and Qin Jian had only just begun to get to know each other, but now, they were already engaged!

"Brother Jian..."

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but snuggle up to Qin Jian's side: "That year's trial was clearly exceptionally difficult, yet when I think back on it now, they are all beautiful memories, the kind I will never forget for the rest of my life..."

"Rongrong..."

Qin Jian held her tightly in his arms, and his heart began to ache slowly.

This... damned... fate!

"Rongrong, do you still remember that sentence I told you to keep in mind?" Qin Jian said softly.

Ning Rongrong raised her head and said without hesitation: "Of course Rongrong remembers!"

"Brother Jian, you said that if one day I feel that things are not good enough yet, there is no need to be sad or upset, because that just means it is not the end yet..."
