Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback, not expecting anyone to recognize her on this Heaven Dou main street. Following the voice, she saw Ning Rongrong waving at her, one hand linked with Xu Yang's.
"Rongrong, Yang Ge, why are you in Heaven Dou City?!"
As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing quickly walked over.
"Yang Ge and I came to go shopping." Ning Rongrong released Xu Yang, grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and began to complain, "Zhuqing, let me tell you, Yang Ge and Dad are too much. They went out to sea for half a year to hunt Soul Rings, completely ignoring me, leaving me bored at home for half a year, forced to cultivate by Bone Grandfather every day!"
Zhu Zhuqing: "..."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't know what to say and could only let Ning Rongrong hold her hand.
Xu Yang gave Zhu Zhuqing an apologetic smile, then listened to the two girls' conversation. From their dialogue, he also learned that Shrek Academy had moved to Blue Tyrant Academy as in the original story, and Blue Tyrant Academy had become the new Shrek Academy.
Zhu Zhuqing was out shopping in Heaven Dou City because the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament was approaching, and she would soon face the Star Luo Empire's First Prince and her sister. Her strength had only recently broken through Soul Elder, while Dai Mubai was barely Soul Sect, making them no match for their opponents.
So, after finishing her cultivation today, feeling somewhat lost, she decided to come out for a walk to ease her mood.
After listening to Zhu Zhuqing's words, Ning Rongrong also fell silent. She had heard of the Star Luo Empire's unique inheritance system and understood the consequences Zhu Zhuqing would face if she failed. Although she wouldn't die, her remaining life would probably be worse than death. For a moment, she didn't know how to comfort Zhu Zhuqing and turned to Xu Yang for help.
Xu Yang sighed softly and said, "Zhu Zhuqing, if you don't mind, you can come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to cultivate with me during this time. Although I can't make you reach Soul Sect within a year, I can make your combat power comparable to a Soul Sect. As for failing to compete with Star Luo Prince Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, you can also choose to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I don't think the Star Luo Empire would dare to act presumptuously in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Hearing Xu Yang's solution, Ning Rongrong excitedly grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's hand and said, "That's right! Zhuqing! Why don't you join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Then we can cultivate together and go shopping together. How wonderful would that be?"
This time, Zhu Zhuqing didn't directly refuse as she had at Shrek Academy. Instead, she was silent for a while before slowly saying, "I will consider it, Rongrong!" Then she turned to look at Xu Yang and asked, "Can I really go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to cultivate with you?!"
"Of course, you can!" Xu Yang nodded and then took out a Jade Token from his Storage Ring and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing. "This is my token. Please ask for leave. After you arrive at Seven Treasure City, you can use this token to enter the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Someone will naturally notify me then!"
"Okay! I will go!"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were firm. She knew this was her last chance, and if she didn't seize it, she would really have no chance.
After Zhu Zhuqing accompanied Xu Yang and Ning Rongrong for a while, she hurried towards Shrek Academy. She needed to ask Yu Xiaogang and the others for leave and then go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to learn from Xu Yang.
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, in the new Shrek Seven Devils' residence, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and others were training. Zhu Zhuqing hurried past them and rushed to Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's office.
Dai Mubai and the other two looked puzzled.
Ma Hongjun approached Dai Mubai and asked curiously, "Boss Dai, what is Zhuqing doing?! Didn't she go shopping in Heaven Dou City?! Why is she back so soon?!"
Dai Mubai rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
Ma Hongjun showed a cheeky smile and said, "But Zhuqing is your fiancée! You don't even know. Do you think we'll believe that?!"
Clearly, he already knew the relationship between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai sighed helplessly. Since Zhu Zhuqing came to Shrek, he had given up his old bad habits and worked hard to cultivate. In just one year, he had gone from Soul Elder to Soul Sect, and Zhu Zhuqing's attitude towards him had gradually changed.
But recently, as their team leader, Grandmaster, asked them to prepare for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament in a year, he noticed that Zhu Zhuqing's expression had become strange. He understood the reason.
But he was powerless to change it. Since the discovery of Whale Rubber, the overall level of the younger generation of Soul Masters had improved too much compared to the previous generation, especially the royal families of the two great empires, who controlled a large number of resources, and their strength had improved even more terrifyingly.
He had received news that his brother Davis was already a Soul King, which made him feel despair and see no hope of victory. He wanted to give up, but every time he saw Zhu Zhuqing's stubborn eyes, he suppressed such thoughts and cultivated even harder.
Just as Dai Mubai was thinking about Zhu Zhuqing's affairs, the sound of Zhu Zhuqing and Yu Xiaogang arguing came from the office in the distance. Then, Zhu Zhuqing stormed out, paused when she passed Dai Mubai, and then walked out without looking back.
And Yu Xiaogang's exasperated voice came from the room, "Zhu Zhuqing, I'm telling you, if you leave today, you will no longer be a member of the Shrek Seven Devils!"
Zhu Zhuqing only paused for a moment, then accelerated and walked outside.
Dai Mubai quickly chased after her, grabbing Zhu Zhuqing's arm and loudly asking, "Zhuqing, what exactly happened?! Why do you want to leave Shrek?!"
Zhu Zhuqing turned to look at Dai Mubai and said coldly, "I'm going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, are you coming?! Staying here, I don't see any possibility of defeating Davis and Zhu Zhuyun."
"Why?! Isn't Shrek Academy good?!"
"I saw Rongrong in Heaven Dou City today, and she and Yang Ge invited me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and she will personally guide my cultivation, which gives me a glimmer of hope... Are you coming with me?!"
Hearing this, Dai Mubai was stunned. He didn't expect that the reason Zhu Zhuqing wanted to leave Shrek was actually this.
Zhu Zhuqing stubbornly looked at Dai Mubai and said, "Are you coming with me?! I don't think Rongrong would mind. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as one of the Upper Three Sects, has been showing signs of becoming the leader of the Upper Three Sects in recent years. They can maintain their current position, and they must have their own unique cultivation methods, maybe it can really allow us to defeat them."
Dai Mubai felt that Zhu Zhuqing was already grasping at straws, but given their current situation, what better way is there than grasping at straws?!
Thinking of this, he looked up at Zhu Zhuqing: "Okay, I'll go with you!"
