"That's eighteen too."
"..." Zhu Zhuqing felt a throbbing vein on her forehead.
She hates this kind of boundless, touching sentimentality!
Is it really reliable to let this guy be a teacher?
How did he manage to become a level 79 Soul Saint at the age of eighteen?
I'm so envious!
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing fall into a long silence, Jiang Yunzhou did not press the matter further this time.
If I push too hard, I'm afraid I'll make her cry again.
He could roughly guess what Zhu Zhuqing was struggling with.
Isn't this right here at the Rose Hotel?
If you don't run into that golden retriever in heat today, you'll definitely encounter it tomorrow or the day after.
When the time comes, let her see for herself what kind of person her fiancé, whom she has been pursuing so earnestly, really is. Perhaps without me having to say much, her resolve will waver.
Dealing with someone like Zhu Zhuqing, who is outwardly cold but inwardly strong and extremely wary, using forceful methods will only backfire.
The reason I'm behaving so irresponsibly, even a bit cheekily, is to lower her guard and make her feel that I'm easy to get along with.
Sigh, I've almost become an Oscar winner just to take on a disciple. Thinking about it, I'm actually a little touched.
If Zhu Zhuqing could hear his thoughts right now, she would probably coldly retort: Acting? You're just playing yourself!
Chapter 11 You can sleep quite a lot, huh?
"you..."
Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and looked directly at Jiang Yunzhou.
"Can you be serious for once? Give me a few days to think about it, okay? Or wait until I've dealt with my own affairs before giving you a definite answer?"
The fact that she could say these words shows that her defenses have indeed crumbled.
She had planned to find her fiancé and join an intermediate soul master academy in Suotuo City to continue her studies and become stronger.
If a Soul Saint were willing to personally teach someone, it would be difficult to refuse.
Deep down, a faint sense of anticipation even arose.
If it weren't for the heavy shackles of her family and the constraints of her marriage contract, she might have already agreed by now.
Jiang Yunzhou readily agreed, but then immediately held up three fingers, "I'll give you three days. If you haven't made a decision by then, it means we're not meant to be."
"I'll be leaving then. Hey, I'm telling you, you only get one chance. It's up to you to decide."
This is both a deadline and a form of invisible pressure.
"Thanks..."
Zhu Zhuqing said in a low voice.
She even felt that if she refused this opportunity, she would really miss out on something crucial.
This feeling made her panic.
"Then, I'll go first..." She subconsciously wanted to escape the atmosphere that was making her heart race.
Jiang Yunzhou suddenly interrupted her: "No need. Since staying with me makes you so uncomfortable, then I'll leave."
He turned around decisively, saying, "Anyway, you paid for this room."
He walked past Zhu Zhuqing and headed straight for the door.
Just as he was about to brush past her, a slightly cool little hand suddenly grabbed his sleeve!
Jiang Yunzhou was overjoyed: the fish had taken the bait! Sure enough, the tactic of feigning indifference always worked!
Huh? Wait a minute, he suddenly felt like he had somehow mastered the art of tea ceremony without any instruction?
"No! Don't go!"
Zhu Zhuqing's voice was urgent as she tugged at his sleeve, "I didn't, I didn't mean to send you away, really!"
Her mind was in turmoil. Watching him turn away dejectedly just now gave her a strong sense of guilt, as if she had done something heinous.
Jiang Yunzhou stopped and turned his head, his gaze fixed on her hand that was clenching her sleeve tightly.
"Okay, I understand. So, are you still going?"
Zhu Zhuqing's heart pounded as he looked at her, her cheeks flushed, and she stammered in a low voice, "No, I'm not leaving."
As soon as she said it, she felt uneasy again.
Am I inviting trouble into my home?
Will this seemingly sunny and handsome boy, who always exudes a bit of roguishness, reveal another terrifying face when she lowers her guard?
She didn't even realize she was still holding his hand tightly.
"All right then,"
Jiang Yunzhou immediately agreed, his face no longer showing any sign of disappointment, "We'll just make do for one night..."
Zhu Zhuqing: "..."
Looking at his self-righteous attitude, she suddenly felt like she had shot herself in the foot!
This man's mood changed way too quickly!
Faintly, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to smell a faint aroma of tea.
Jiang Yunzhou insisted on keeping her, naturally he had his reasons, purely for the 'good show' that might unfold in the next two days.
As for what to do to her? He hadn't even considered it.
Putting aside the age gap, Jiang Yunzhou wasn't that despicable; how old was the other person?
"By the way, you've just recovered, you should go and rest."
He pointed to the bed, his tone unusually serious, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person."
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at him, thinking to herself: Do bad people wear the word "bad" on their faces?
However, he was indeed very tired.
She looked at the large bed that Jiang Yunzhou had made a mess of, silently turned around, walked to the sofa in the living room, and curled up to lie down.
Jiang Yunzhou didn't say anything more, turned around and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
When he came out covered in sweat, he found that Zhu Zhuqing was already asleep.
She curled up tightly on the sofa like a frightened kitten, her brows furrowed slightly even in her sleep, showing a wary expression.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Yunzhou felt a sudden pang of tenderness and pity.
He didn't want to give up on this promising disciple with both exceptional talent and temperament.
He tiptoed over, carefully picked up Zhu Zhuqing, and moved her to the more comfortable bed, carefully covering her with the blanket.
He went back to the sofa and lay down, soon falling into a deep sleep.
In the darkness, Zhu Zhuqing's long eyelashes trembled slightly.
She was actually awake the whole time, but she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, not daring to actually fall asleep.
Sensing Jiang Yunzhou's cautious movements and his retreat behind the sofa, her tense nerves finally relaxed completely.
Once I was sure I was safe, my heavy eyelids could no longer stay open, and my consciousness quickly sank into a deep sleep.
Jiang Yunzhou woke up early, full of energy.
He didn't disturb Zhu Zhuqing, who was still asleep. Instead, he sat by the window, engrossed in studying the "Martial Arts Gift Pack" given to him by the system.
In terms of offense and defense, he possesses powerful soul skills derived from the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, which are no less powerful than the sword techniques in these martial arts.
Of all these martial arts, the only ones he really liked were the movement techniques!
The gift pack contains a wide variety of movement-related martial arts: "Ladder Cloud Leap" excels at using force in the air, making multiple leaps and turns, and can be regarded as the best of lightness skills;
The "Heavenly Net Step" is adept at dodging and weaving, making one feel at ease even in a small space;
"Lingbo Weibu" is elegant and agile, with extremely low resource consumption;
The "Eight Trigrams Wandering Steps" follow the eight trigrams and move in a winding and interwoven manner;
"The Swift and Unpredictable" is a leader in both long-distance sprints and short-range bursts of speed...
"Each has its own merits..."
Jiang Yunzhou's eyes gleamed as he directly chose "Ladder Cloud Leap" because it emphasizes mobility and height, "Divine Speed and Hundred Changes" because it emphasizes speed and explosiveness, and "Eight Trigrams Wandering Steps" because it emphasizes close-range combat and dodging.
After selecting these three movement techniques, he immediately began to study and comprehend them.
For him, it's just a matter of spending more time and energy; after all, it's never a bad thing to have more skills!
This gift package also includes some internal martial arts techniques.
For example, the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Nine Yin Manual are also listed, truly a generous gift package.
However, it's not urgent, so you can learn it later.
Who knows, maybe I'll be able to unlock some profound skills or immortal techniques in the future, which are at least more advanced than this martial art?
"I feel that the Nine Yin Manual is quite a good match for Zhu Zhuqing."
......
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to be completely exhausted. The sun was already high in the sky outside the window, but she was still sleeping soundly and showed no signs of waking up.
Jiang Yunzhou didn't urge him, and continued to ponder the mysteries of the movement technique.
A good night's sleep finally dispelled the fatigue from days of running and serious injuries.
Zhu Zhuqing slowly woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the glaring sunlight outside the window and immediately exclaimed in annoyance, "Oh no! Why did I sleep so late?"
She hurriedly sat up and immediately saw Jiang Yunzhou sitting cross-legged in the hall with his eyes closed. She didn't know how long he had been up.
She tiptoed out of bed, but the slight noise still alerted Jiang Yunzhou.
