Chapter 25: Meeting Qian Renxue Again

After Ning Rongrong and the others left.

Zhou Yi then passed the Fuxi Divine Ability to Ning Fengzhi; naturally, something like this certainly could not rely on oral transmission, and the recipient needed to release their mental restrictions.

However, with two great Title Douluo nearby watching, Ning Fengzhi was not worried about any danger; instead, he appeared very composed.

"Uncle Ning can first contemplate it yourself. Tomorrow I will go to visit Xue Dage, and afterwards, I will study calligraphy and painting with Uncle Ning properly, and together we will develop this Divine Ability."

Having said that, after exchanging pleasantries with Ning Fengzhi and the others for a while, Zhou Yi bid farewell and left.

……

Once it was certain that Zhou Yi had left, Gu Rong still could not help but ask Ning Fengzhi.

"Fengzhi, this is a system capable of impacting the entire Spirit Master profession. Is it really okay for us to do this?"

After hearing this, Ning Fengzhi looked at Jian Chenxin and, discovering that he was also somewhat hesitant, began to explain to them.

"Uncle Gu, Uncle Jian, actually, I have also considered the things you are worried about, but rather than suppressing the emergence of this Divine Ability, it is better to master it in advance and lead other forces. Besides, who is to say there aren't other systems beyond soul power and Divine Abilities elsewhere on the Continent? Since we know about it, we cannot act as if it doesn't exist."

"Fengzhi, should we completely bind Zhou Yi to the sect and make this thing our sect's unique, peerless art? Besides, I quite like this kid Zhou Yi; I would also feel at ease handing Rongrong over to him." Jian Chenxin also offered his suggestion after listening.

Clearly, this proposal was quite tempting, but after thinking about it, Ning Fengzhi still sighed and said.

"Sigh... it's impossible. We cannot keep this thing hidden. The use of Divine Abilities cannot remain unseen forever. Once used, this power that does not rely on soul power will certainly be discovered by other forces. Rather than being besieged by all forces when that time comes, it is better to open it up."

"Moreover, we still have 10 years of development time. Let's use these ten years to accumulate an advantage; by then, even if everyone masters this power, we will still be far ahead. Furthermore, after ten years, Xiao Yi will also have grown up. With his talent, he will be at least a Spirit Douluo in strength by then. Given our relationship with him, he will be a natural ally."

"As for Rongrong, it can only depend on the children's own choices. I do have the intention to play matchmaker, but Xiao Yi avoids the topic every time, and this time he even brought back a girl... Matters of the heart, who can say for sure?"

……

Late at night,

In a guest room of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

After several months of long-distance travel, Zhou Yi was also somewhat wanting to sleep well on a soft bed. As for Zhu Zhuqing, he gave her a day off today and encouraged her to take this opportunity to relax properly.

And on the other side,

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were also resting in the same room. After a day of getting along, they had become familiar with each other.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong was listening to Zhu Zhuqing recount her adventures with Zhou Yi.

"Brother Yi is indeed very amazing. Among the younger generation in the sect, not a single person can beat him. Grandpa Jian and Grandpa Gu also always mention him." Hearing about Zhou Yi helping Zhu Zhuqing with her training, Ning Rongrong sighed with emotion.

However, she immediately thought of something and said to Zhu Zhuqing,

"Zhuqing, do you know that Brother Yi has left behind legends in several cities of the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"I didn't know that. Can you tell me about it?" Chatting about Zhou Yi, Zhu Zhuqing also became interested.

"Eh~ Zhuqing, you don't know, back then Brother Yi was especially fond of upholding justice, and for this, he even carved out the reputation of the 'Divine Eagle Hero'…………" Ning Rongrong discovered that Zhu Zhuqing was interested and began to talk about Zhou Yi's deeds with great enthusiasm.

And Zhu Zhuqing also wanted to understand Zhou Yi better, so she listened carefully to all sorts of stories about him.

……

The next day,

Inside the Crown Prince Palace.

"Xiao Yi, the first thing you did upon returning was not to find me but to find Teacher. If you don't give me a reason that satisfies me, I won't let you off."

"Xue Dage, I went to find Uncle Ning to discuss business. Isn't this me coming to find you right away today~"

Seeing that Qian Renxue was still unsatisfied, he continued.

"Xue Dage, didn't I say last time I would give you a gift? I haven't forgotten. Look..."

Saying this, he took out the processed necklace with a seven-colored halo gemstone and introduced it carefully.

"Xue Dage, this gemstone is something I discovered during my travels. During the day under sunlight, a seven-colored halo is born within it, but the whole thing is transparent. And the halo is not formed by the gemstone's surface refracting sunlight, but generated from within. Of course, the most magical thing is that even in the dark of night, the internal halo does not disappear."

"And I have tested that wearing it close to the body keeps the mind clear and calm, making it difficult to be affected by worries and delusions or to suffer from Qi deviation."

Seeing it, Qian Renxue fell in love with it at first sight, her eyes shining, and the previous little awkwardness was completely forgotten.

However, she also suddenly came back to her senses.

"Xiao Yi... why is this necklace you made so much like a woman's style?"

"Hmm? Is it? Oh my, Xue Dage, actually this is a men's style, it's just a bit more neutral. I'll put it on and you'll see."

This was, of course, a woman's style, but Zhou Yi intended to bluff his way through it.

"Look, isn't it completely natural?"

Not to mention, Zhou Yi was originally a handsome, delicate man with a well-proportioned build. Wearing it, although the style didn't seem to match, there was indeed no great sense of incongruity; instead, it added a touch of refinement.

Seeing Qian Renxue's mind put at ease, completely bluffed, Zhou Yi could not help but chuckle inwardly, but on the surface, he pretended nothing was wrong and handed the necklace to her.

This was also the first time Qian Renxue had received such a gift meant for a girl. Although she convinced herself in her heart that it was a men's style, having received such an exquisite gift for the first time, she couldn't put it down and liked it more the more she looked at it.

She was also a pitiful person; her father died when she was young, and her mother treated her as an enemy. Although her grandfather doted on her, he would not specifically give her gifts that girls would like.

As for later, entering the palace as an undercover agent at twelve or thirteen, after becoming the Crown Prince, the gifts she received were just gold and treasures from ministers trying to curry favor with her. Besides, she occasionally had to prepare gifts for her cheap sister, Xue Ke.

It could be said that Qian Renxue had never lived for herself in her life. Perhaps even she herself hadn't realized that, never having enjoyed the treatment of a normal girl, she was like a puppet, living for others since birth.

Seeing the joy that Qian Renxue revealed from the bottom of her heart, Zhou Yi also smiled slightly; it couldn't be better if she liked it.

After playing with it for a while, she put the necklace away, came back to her senses, and looked at Zhou Yi with a very complex expression.

"How is it, has Xue Dage stopped being angry?"

Seeing Zhou Yi's smile, she knew he was teasing her, so she feigned composure.

"You kid, the gift is not bad, I like it very much. By the way, does it have a name?"

"It doesn't. Why doesn't Xue Dage think of one~"

"Then let's call it 'Angel's Tear'," Qian Renxue said softly, looking at the gemstone on the necklace.

Then she carefully put the necklace away, not intending to wear it; she thought about wearing it when she restored her true identity in the future.

"By the way, Xue Dage, I hope you can do me a favor."

"What favor? Just say it; as long as I can help, I will definitely help you get it done."

"I would like to learn musical temperament and instruments; I have heard that the master of Yuexuan is proficient in this art. I wonder if Xue Dage could help introduce me."

"That matter is simple, but may I know why you, little Zhou Yi, want to learn music?"

"This involves a unique art of mine. Rest assured, Xue Dage, once I have mastered it, I will certainly give you a surprise."

"If it can be called a surprise by you, then I shall certainly look forward to it."
