Ning Rongrong's thought process was always peculiar. She immediately put on a dramatic act, rushing forward with a tearful voice, wanting to offer a warm embrace.
"I had no idea what you were doing just now; I was even cursing you in my mind..."
Xiao Wu's resentment at Jiang Yunzhou for not keeping his word and not coming to watch her competition vanished instantly.
She subconsciously wanted to get closer, but found that she didn't seem to have the same 'legitimate' position as Ning Rongrong, so she could only stand still, her eyes following Jiang Yunzhou closely.
Jiang Yunzhou, both amused and exasperated, struggled to pull Ning Rongrong off him: "Stop, stop, stop! My clothes are dirty, don't get them all over you. Are you done fighting? How did it go? You didn't embarrass me, did you?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, a hint of girlish pride on her cool face: "We won."
Ning Rongrong immediately jumped in to answer, her chin held high: "We absolutely have to win! Anyone who dared to try to get close to me is now lying on the ground peacefully reflecting on their actions!"
Xiao Wu opened his mouth, wanting to say that he had also won and had played very well, but unfortunately the person he most wanted to see didn't get to.
In the end, he swallowed his words back, but his eyes became even more resentful.
Jiang Yunzhou nodded in satisfaction; this result was within his expectations.
He pressed further, "What about the duo's team match? Has it been played yet?"
"Let's fight! Let's fight!"
Ning Rongrong eagerly answered, gesturing vividly as she described, "It's the same old tactic: I'm in charge of the 'hahaha,' and Senior Sister Zhu Qing is in charge of the rampage! Before the enemy even realized what was happening, they were down in the first move! It was absolutely devastating!"
She had expected to receive high praise from the teacher, but to her surprise, Jiang Yunzhou's face instantly showed an expression of extreme heartache after hearing it.
"I'm losing so much! I'm losing so much! I didn't even have time to place bets for you guys! It's a huge loss! My gold coins!"
The three women were initially taken aback, then looked at each other and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Upon closer reflection, this reaction is exactly what their teacher is like!
Jiang Yunzhou reached out and affectionately ruffled Ning Rongrong's and Zhu Zhuqing's hair: "Alright, you did a good job. Your teacher's efforts weren't in vain. You'll get extra chicken legs tomorrow!"
He didn't ignore Xiao Wu, whose eyes were filled with anticipation, and said to her with a smile, "Xiao Wu, you did a great job too. Although we didn't win much tonight, we still made some money. Come on, I'll treat you to a late-night snack! Oh, wait a minute, I need to go and redeem the prize I just placed!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the betting point in a hurry.
"Ah! Wait a minute!"
Xiao Wu suddenly remembered that he had also placed a bet. "I... I want to claim my prize too!"
She immediately hopped and skipped after him like a happy little rabbit.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing smiled at each other, both seeing the same helplessness and warmth in each other's eyes.
Having a teacher like this brings not only a leap in ability, but also endless joy.
"Come on, let's catch up quickly!"
Chapter 40 Little Bamboo Green, Should We Use Him as Practice?
Ning Rongrong grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's hand and chased after her.
"If the teacher gets too excited when she gets the money, she might run off somewhere again. I'll be devastated!"
Both women could clearly sense that their dependence on Jiang Yunzhou and some indescribable feelings were growing day by day.
Even Xiao Wu, who only occasionally comes to freeload meals, clearly has 'malicious intentions' when he looks at the teacher.
However, they didn't seem to mind too much, because they could sense that the teacher only wanted to take Xiao Wu as her apprentice.
However, what Ning Rongrong didn't know was that the sensation she caused when she revealed the evolved Nine-Turn Exquisite Pagoda Martial Soul in the Soul Arena tonight far exceeded her expectations.
An urgent intelligence report is currently rushing towards the Seven Treasures Sect at top speed.
As their figures disappeared at the end of the passage, a figure hidden in the shadows suddenly appeared.
He didn't even have the courage to come out in person, take Xiao Wu away from that man, or confront him about anything.
All his anger, resentment, and jealousy were suppressed deep within his heart, fermenting and decaying.
He hadn't realized his feelings for Xiao Wu before, only thinking of them as brotherly and sisterly affection.
But now, he clearly realizes how much he likes Xiao Wu.
When he finally understood himself and wanted to express his feelings to her, he was devastated to find that Xiao Wu, who had once been obedient and compliant to him, was gone.
All that was left for him were increasingly frequent rejections, impatient glances, and a receding figure.
He was filled with anxiety and unbearable pain.
Why? Why did I have to run into Jiang Yunzhou here of all places?
Why is Sloan Academy located right across from Supreme Academy?
He didn't even realize that the murderous aura emanating from him was becoming increasingly intense.
Just then, a heavy hand landed on his shoulder.
Tang Shan suddenly turned his head, his eyes as cold as ice, his face contorted with ferocity, startling the person behind him.
Yu Xiaogang was shocked to see her apprentice looking so unfamiliar. How could Xiaosan have become like this?
"It's me, the mistress!"
Yu Xiaogang suppressed the turmoil in her heart and said in a deep voice.
He knew Tang Shan was in a very bad mood and had also seen him hiding here to spy on Xiao Wu and his group.
"Teacher, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you."
Tang Shan paused for a moment, quickly suppressing his outward emotions, but the gloom in his eyes could not be dispelled.
Yu Xiaogang shook her head: "Come back with your master."
"Teacher, but I..."
"Come back with me!" Yu Xiaogang emphasized, sternly shouting.
Tang Shan dared not disobey his teacher any longer, and could only lower his head and silently follow behind Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang remained silent the whole way, her brows furrowed, her mind heavy with thought as she pondered how to persuade Tang Shan.
Jiang Yunzhou received the gold coins he won from his bet, a total of eight thousand.
Because Zhu Zhuqing was making her debut, the odds were quite favorable.
"Hahaha~ I'm rich! I'm rich! This is the richest I've ever been in my life!"
He had a huge sum of eight thousand gold coins in his pocket, and he smiled like a child who was over two hundred months old, making no attempt to hide his innocent pride.
The three women watched from the sidelines, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Xiao Wu also received two hundred gold coins, and inexplicably felt a deep empathy for Jiang Yunzhou's feelings.
Ning Rongrong felt a little sorry for him. Her teacher was so happy about the eight thousand gold coins. It seemed that she hadn't spent enough money on him and hadn't made him smile more.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, the iceberg in his heart had long been melted into spring water by Jiang Yunzhou, silently surrounding him and gently permeating everything about him.
"Teacher, everyone's gone. Let's go back quickly," she whispered.
"Haha~ I promised to treat you guys to a late-night snack! Nobody's allowed to try and pay, or I'll start laughing..."
Jiang Yunzhou laughed as he led the way out.
The four walked out of the Soul Arena, chatting and laughing. As fate would have it...
I ran into the receptionist who had just finished get off work and was walking alone on the deserted street.
As Jiang Yunzhou gazed at that retreating figure, he suddenly remembered something.
He didn't know if that thing would happen tonight, and hesitated for a moment about whether he should go up and remind him.
Just as he hesitated, a chubby figure quietly followed her from a dark corner.
Jiang Yunzhou's eyes narrowed. If that's the case, it should be tonight.
Although he knew the receptionist wouldn't be in any real danger, he couldn't resist getting involved since it concerned Shi Laike's people.
"Uh, what would you like to eat?" he suddenly asked.
“Anything is fine with me, teacher, you decide,” Zhu Zhuqing replied.
"Okay, it's still early, let's look around first and then go get something to eat."
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up; she really loved this part.
She subtly reached out and took Jiang Yunzhou's arm, then raised her eyebrows triumphantly at Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu.
Jiang Yunzhou was focused on the commotion in the distance and did not notice Ning Rongrong's subtle movements.
It didn't bother me at all that she was holding my arm; it was actually quite nice to occasionally feel her soft touch.
Zhu Zhuqing wanted to step forward several times, but ultimately didn't reach out; that damned pride.
Xiao Wu was also eager to try, but ultimately gave up because he had no stance to take.
She had been struggling with this internally for a long time: the one-month deadline was fast approaching.
Once they leave, she will never again be able to eat his delicious meals, nor will she ever see the man who haunts her dreams again.
She forced herself to make a choice: should she choose her third brother, who had been with her for six years, or follow the man who occupied her entire heart?
Unbeknownst to her, Jiang Yunzhou's importance in her heart had quietly surpassed that of Tang Shan.
Add to that Ning Rongrong's daily brainwashing theories, and now when she looks at Tang Shan, she always feels that he has ulterior motives towards her.
So she deliberately distanced herself, and the distance between them grew further and further.
The girls each had their own thoughts, while Jiang Yunzhou consciously led the way.
Unbeknownst to them, the four of them had walked into a secluded street.
Then, a dramatic scene unfolded.
Jiang Yunzhou grinned and gestured for everyone to be quiet: "The show is about to begin, so please keep quiet."
Following his gaze, the group saw three figures: one acting suspiciously, one with shifty eyes, and the other was none other than the alluring receptionist.
"Teacher, it's that receptionist! She seems to be being followed." Zhu Zhuqing said suspiciously.
She had every reason to suspect that the teacher had anticipated all of this and deliberately used the excuse of the crazy street to lure them here.
Because similar coincidences have happened many times before.
