Chapter 29: A Reunion After Five Years (Part 1)

"Fengzhi! Where is Rongrong? I heard that Rongrong ran away from home?"

"That's right! Where is Rongrong? Fengzhi! Why has Rongrong disappeared?"

Sure enough,

by evening,

after the two old men returned to the sect and searched for a long time without finding Ning Rongrong, they became anxious in an instant and ran directly to find Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi was also taken aback by this scene.

"Jian Shu, Gu Shu, don't be anxious, she is not in any danger right now..."

"What do you mean no danger? If something happens to Rongrong, I won't spare you!" Sword Douluo, with his explosive temper, couldn't help but start pressuring him directly.

"Sigh... calm down first, calm down, don't be impatient. Have you forgotten how many protective spiritual talismans Rongrong has on her? With that protection, she won't encounter any danger at all. It would be good if she doesn't endanger others."

Watching the two old men huffing and puffing, Ning Fengzhi gave a bitter smile.

Fortunately, there is this opportunity; if you keep pampering her like this, won't she be flying to the heavens later on?

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, the two also realized that they had been a bit irrational out of concern.

"Besides, I roughly know where Rongrong went. It's an academy; it's just right for Rongrong to be tempered a bit."

"An academy, huh? Fengzhi, how about I go find their principal and give him a talking-to?" Sword Douluo recovered his composure and said indifferently.

"No, no, I have already let Xiao Yi follow her. Rongrong won't be bullied by anyone."

Ning Fengzhi thought to himself, if I let you give them a talking-to, what kind of tempering would she even get?

"With Xiao Yi following, I can rest easy."

Hearing this, Bone Douluo set his mind at ease and said, and beside him, Sword Douluo also nodded.

Seeing their attitude, Ning Fengzhi was actually a bit curious.

"Jian Shu, Gu Shu, what is Xiao Yi's strength now?"

Hearing this question, Sword Douluo laughed heartily and began to mock Bone Douluo wantonly.

"Hahaha, Fengzhi, you don't even know, Xiao Yi is already extremely proficient in that technique. Now, even if Old Bone wants to catch him, he might not be able to. This kid has basically learned all of his signature moves."

Bone Douluo's old face immediately couldn't hold it, turning red with anger.

"Old Scoundrel, you... Hmph! Don't think I don't know. I saw it a few days ago; that kid can even manifest sword intent. Think about how long it took you to master it back then?"

Thinking that the sword intent he had practiced for half his life had been mastered by Zhou Yi in just one year, Jian Chenxin's face instantly drooped, as if he had eaten excrement.

"Old Bone, see if I don't beat you until you're looking for your teeth all over the floor today!"

"Get lost! If you had that ability, I'd write my name backward!"

Watching the two elders arguing again, Ning Fengzhi helplessly covered his forehead. Even with the little one gone, the two old ones still wouldn't rest.

After returning home,

Zhou Yi said to the waiting Zhuqing,

"Zhuqing, Rongrong is fine. She wanted to go out on her own. By the way, the place Rongrong is going to should be Shrek..."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, wanting to see her reaction, but only found a face without a ripple, so he continued.

"Zhuqing, do you want to go and see? After all, isn't the person you are looking for right there?"

Zhu Zhuqing gazed at him with calm, beautiful eyes,

"Are you going? If you go, I will follow you. If you don't go, I won't go either."

"This... we should go and see. Some things have to be faced eventually, and I also want to see my old friends."

Not expecting her to say such things, Zhou Yi was still a bit dazed, but through these words, he also felt the girl's profound feelings. Has her reliance on me grown this much without me noticing...

But he felt she still needed to resolve her inner knot herself, so after thinking about it, he decided to go with her.

Actually, what Zhou Yi didn't know was that half a year ago, she had already been near Shrek Academy. She had finally seen the person she wanted to see, but unlike what she had expected, that person was not accumulating strength to prepare for difficulties, but had fled to such a place to enjoy himself in peace. After observing for two days, she returned, only that her training became even more diligent and arduous afterward.

She had never told Zhou Yi about this experience, so Zhou Yi didn't know. He thought Zhu Zhuqing had been gone for a month because she had something to do. He wasn't a guy who liked to control others or pry into their privacy, so he didn't pay any attention to it at all.

"Since that's the case, I'll listen to you."

Thus, after Zhou Yi explained the situation to Qian Renxue and said goodbye, he set off with Jin Ling and Zhuqing. As for the house they bought, there was no need to worry; disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would come to clean it regularly.

Half a month later,

In the center of the most fertile Lima Plain within the Balak Kingdom, inside Soto City, known as the granary of Balak.

It was just afternoon, the scorching sun was like fire, and two young people were walking on the road of Soto City. They looked to be only in their teens, carrying no luggage, one male and one female.

The youth looked about twelve or thirteen years old, but his height had already reached about one meter eight. His face was delicate and gentle, and his shoulder-length black hair was simply tied with a cyan hairband, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze. He wore white clothes, a precious jade hung at his waist, and at the same time, a gorgeous sword hung on his left side, and a verdant flute on his right. The whole person looked like both a wandering swordsman and a Confucian gentleman, with a touch of the otherworldly aura of a Daoist, yet these unrelated styles blended so harmoniously on him.

The young girl looked to be of a similar age, wearing black leather clothes. Her face was extremely beautiful, with willow-leaf eyebrows and almond eyes, carrying a somewhat cold temperament. Unlike this delicate face, her figure was extremely explosive; her very full figure really didn't match her age. If one didn't look at her face, she might be mistaken for an adult woman, especially that magnificent bosom, which would attract the gaze of all men. A standard baby face with a huge chest.

Passersby who saw the two walking by couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: what a talented man and a beautiful woman.

That's right, these two were Zhou Yi and Zhu Zhuqing, but unlike the original work, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were no longer filled with coldness and dead silence. Outsiders could only see that she was somewhat cold, and when talking to Zhou Yi, she would occasionally reveal a gentle smile.

"A-Yi, is it really okay for us to stroll around so leisurely? Don't we need to follow Rongrong?"

"Oh, it's fine. I let Jin Ling go and follow her secretly; it's impossible for any problems to arise."

"That's good."

Actually, the two of them had discovered Ning Rongrong half a month ago, but they didn't make a scene and just continued to follow her route silently.

This time, it was Zhou Yi who wanted to see if he could run into Xiao San and Xiao Wu in the city, so he let Jin Ling follow Ning Rongrong alone.

"Boom—"

As they were walking, they suddenly heard the sound of fighting ahead and saw the three-story-high rose-colored hotel in front. Zhou Yi immediately remembered what plot this was.

He pulled Zhu Zhuqing's hand with an excited face.

"Zhuqing, let's go, let's go and watch the fun."

"Sigh... there's really nothing I can do with you."

Although Zhu Zhuqing expressed helplessness with her words, looking at her compliance when Zhou Yi held her hand, one could tell that she still very much liked being led along by him like this.
