Chapter 51 Can I still call you Brother Yunzhou?
"Dean Jiang, let me toast you."
Ning Fengzhi raised his glass: "Thank you for your meticulous care of my daughter."
"Now that you have joined my school, I will treat you with all my heart."
Jiang Yunzhou raised his glass in return; anyone can say polite words.
The atmosphere at the meal was generally harmonious, except that one of the deans felt a little uneasy because he didn't receive a gift.
After the banquet, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Douluo bid each other farewell and left.
As soon as they left, Xiao Wu's forced composure crumbled instantly, and tears streamed down her face as she cried uncontrollably.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong looked at each other, puzzled, and went forward to hold her hand and comfort her.
Jiang Yunzhou understood how much pressure she had been under these past two days, and feeling sorry for her, he patted her back.
Afterwards, he sent the two girls to training, while he took Xiao Wu out for a walk.
The forest path is quiet and long.
A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, further emphasizing the deep tranquility of the surroundings.
"Brother Yunzhou... thank you."
Xiao Wu's voice was choked with emotion, but every word was filled with sincere gratitude.
Jiang Yunzhou sighed softly, patted the top of her head, and almost knocked off her rabbit ears.
He awkwardly withdrew his hand, coughed lightly, and looked into the distance: "In about ten days, I will be leaving here."
Xiao Wu straightened the rabbit's ears, and her heart clenched when she heard Jiang Yunzhou's sudden words.
Without a second thought, she knelt down in front of her with a thud: "Xiao Wu is willing to become your disciple! Teacher... is it too late now?"
She had considered this idea repeatedly, and now she was even less willing to deceive herself.
If she hesitated any longer, she would start to despise herself.
I used to be decisive and efficient in doing things, so what's wrong with me?
After spending this time together, she truly felt how good Jiang Yunzhou was to her.
She saw Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing training hard every day without complaint.
Not only did their soul power increase rapidly, but their combat abilities also grew stronger day by day. Every conversation revolved around Jiang Yunzhou, and their eyes would light up when they talked about him.
She had long regretted it, regretting that she hadn't agreed immediately.
At this moment, her eyes were incredibly firm, and she only wanted to follow the man in front of her. Even her childhood sweetheart could not sway her determination.
Jiang Yunzhou was startled by her sudden action and quickly bent down to help her up.
With a smile on his face, he spoke slowly and gently: "Of course there's enough time."
He decided to add a little something extra to make Xiao Wu even more determined: "To tell you the truth, the reason I'm willing to stay here for a month is because I'm waiting for you to say this."
He was pulling at Xiao Wu's emotions.
Before Xiao Wu could speak, he continued, "Since you are willing to become my disciple, come to me tonight and I will give you a gift for becoming a disciple."
Hearing this made Xiao Wu's heart pound, his nose sting, and his eyes redden.
Before this, she never expected to hear such heartwarming words.
Did he stay for my sake?
But what did she have that made him want to do this? Could it be that he's taken a fancy to her?
Jiang Yunzhou didn't know what he was thinking, but she wasn't wrong.
It's true that I've had my eye on her and have been craving her for a long time.
They went to great lengths just to take him as their apprentice!
"Then, can I still call you Brother Yunzhou?" Xiao Wu asked expectantly.
Jiang Yunzhou didn't care at all; it was just a form of address. In fact, he felt quite pleased to be called "brother" by a cute and cuddly girl.
"Of course you can, but you can't call me that in front of others."
With permission granted, Xiao Wu was overjoyed, and a smile returned to his face: "Okay, I understand, Brother Yunzhou."
Seeing that her emotions had stabilized considerably.
Jiang Yunzhou cleared his throat and said, "Rongrong and Zhuqing will be level 30 soon. I'll take them to the Star Trek Great Forest to hunt for soul rings. Do you want to come along? Perfect timing, take me to meet Da Ming and Er Ming."
Xiao Wu's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing this, and he looked up in shock: "Teacher, how... how do you know about Da Ming and Er Ming?"
Jiang Yunzhou smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair: "I'll tell you some things later. Just remember: you won't regret your choice today."
He looked at Xiao Wu's pale face, smoothed her hair, and softened his tone: "Look at you, what have you done to yourself? If I had come back a few days later, would you have fallen ill?"
Xiao Wu's nose tingled, and tears were about to well up again. This man in front of her was too good at flirting. Damn, she wanted to cry again.
I have to admit, it feels so good to be cared for and remembered.
Just as I was about to express my gratitude, I heard: "Hold back your tears!"
He deliberately put on a stern face and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Where did the optimistic and cheerful Xiao Wu go? How come you've become such a crybaby? I still prefer the optimistic and cheerful Xiao Wu from before."
"Don't cry, don't cry! Teacher, I won't cry anymore!"
Xiao Wu sniffed quickly and forced a smile. "I want to go! I'll take you to see them! I'll go back and explain everything to Third Brother."
Jiang Yunzhou nodded slightly.
He wasn't sure if simply taking away the sword sheath that originally belonged to Tang Shan would cause changes in the subsequent plot.
But then he thought that now that things had come to this, he didn't need to care too much about how things would develop.
Thinking about this, he suddenly remembered something.
"Should I make a trip to the Yin-Yang Two Elements Eye?" he pondered to himself.
"That's an excellent place for body tempering, and it also has many rare and precious materials. It's time to go and see it."
Thinking of those ancient herbs, his heart burned with excitement; the place should now belong to the Jiang family.
He hadn't gone there before because it was shrouded in poisonous fog, and there was also a elusive Poison Fighter Girl who was unpredictable. Back when he was a Soul Emperor, he wasn't confident he could deal with that person.
But now that he is certain of victory, there is no reason for him to let it go.
While regular training can certainly improve physical fitness, with the help of spiritual beings from heaven and earth, coupled with the special environment there, the speed would be many times faster.
With so many benefits, why not take advantage of it?
Moreover, his own physique still has considerable room for improvement, so he absolutely must go.
He had actually been craving those clusters of magical herbs there for a long time.
He looked at Xiao Wu and casually asked, "How much longer until you reach level 30?"
He had barely finished asking the question when he slapped his forehead and laughed, "Look at me, I almost forgot, you can now condense your own soul rings."
Xiao Wu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
She felt as if she had no secrets from Jiang Yunzhou; he probably knew everything about her, down to the smallest detail.
In the past, this feeling would have terrified her, but now, listening to him say these things, she only felt at ease.
It feels so good not to have to be so careful because of my identity.
She lowered her head and muttered something incoherent:
"Teacher, you are so kind."
Chapter 52 How about I move in with you?
Jiang Yunzhou pursed his lips. "If it weren't so good, would you be willing to become my apprentice?"
However, he would never express these emotions.
He then said, "Remember when I warned you that you were being targeted by a titled Douluo?"
In fact, the conditions have now been met, and it must be a matter of mutual consent, so the apprenticeship can be successfully accepted.
But Jiang Yunzhou still needed to take another strong step to ensure that Xiao Wu would be even more determined.
"of course I remember."
Xiao Wu responded softly, "It's because of what you said that I often wake up in the middle of the night and then hide away to secretly wipe away my tears."
She no longer doubts whether Jiang Yunzhou is lying to her.
"Teacher, do you know that person?"
"Of course I do."
Jiang Yunzhou said calmly, "If I were to reveal who he is, you would probably be shocked."
Xiao Wu was slightly taken aback.
Even if she doesn't say it, she's already living in constant fear, okay?
She muttered to herself, several possible figures flashing through her mind, but she couldn't be sure.
"Are you bringing this up now to tell me?" she asked softly.
"I've had this idea, and there's no harm in telling you now."
He said with a hint of amusement, "But saying it out loud might affect your relationship with Tang Shan. Do you still want to know?"
"What? It's related to Third Brother?" Xiao Wu blurted out almost immediately.
Jiang Yunzhou pursed his lips slightly; it really did sound natural to call him "Third Brother."
He didn't think he was trying to sow discord.
Ultimately, in the eyes of the main characters, he had probably already been labeled as a 'villain'.
If that's the case, then as a 'villain,' isn't it perfectly reasonable for him to use some tricks and schemes?
Opportunities won't come knocking on your door, so you have to actively seek them out.
