Chapter 97 Invitation (Ninth Update)
Immediately, Ning Rongrong shook off these chaotic thoughts, revealed a bright smile, and took the initiative to speak.
"Hey, you're the girl who just ran away—uh, the one who was being chased, right? I still don't know your name?"
Zhu Zhuqing had already adjusted her emotions and returned to her usual aloof demeanor, but the blush on her face had not completely faded, adding a touch of liveliness to her that was different from before.
She nodded slightly, her voice calm: "My name is Zhu Zhuqing. Thank you for saving me."
"You're welcome! You're welcome!"
Ning Rongrong waved her hand, her big eyes blinking.
"You must be a genius to have caught the eye of Brother Qiyue! Let me introduce myself. My name is Ning Rongrong, from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. One of the three upper sects? How come he's here? And so close to this mysterious young man?
At this moment, Lin Qiyue also walked over and smiled, "Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Lin Qiyue."
The four girls behind him also stepped forward.
"Little Blue".
"Xiao Yun".
"Xiao Zhi."
"Xiao Qing".
"We are all the young master's maids."
Xiao Lan, acting as a representative, added softly.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the four girls, all of whom were of superior appearance and temperament and exuded an extraordinary aura, and felt a chill run down her spine.
Just a maid? This doesn't seem simple at all.
Finally, Dugu Yan also stepped forward. Her temperament was different from Ning Rongrong's liveliness and Zhu Zhuqing's aloofness, carrying a touch of eeriness and cold beauty.
"My name is Dugu Yan."
Zhu Zhuqing wrote down everyone's names and thanked them sincerely again.
"Thank you, Young Master Lin, Miss Ning, Miss Dugu, and everyone else."
She knew that if she hadn't met them today, she would likely have been in grave danger.
Lin Qiyue waved her hand: "No need to be polite. Zhu Qing, what are your plans next? The Xingluo Zhu family—I'm afraid they won't give up easily."
He pointed directly to the crux of the matter.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes dimmed for a moment, but then hardened: "I will continue to grow stronger, and then—go back and take back everything that belongs to me."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with determination.
"Ambitious."
Lin Qiyue nodded approvingly, then changed the subject.
"However, cultivating alone has its limitations. Why not—come to my Blue Silver Academy?"
He looked at Zhu Zhuqing and extended a formal invitation.
"There, you'll find the perfect training environment, companions to journey alongside you. Most importantly—"
He smiled slightly, his tone resolute.
"The Zhu family can't interfere there. You can grow up in peace until you have enough power."
Zhu Zhuqing's heart stirred.
Blue Silver Academy?
She had heard about it before.
But she remembered her goal: to go to Shrek Academy and meet her fiancé.
After a moment of silence, she finally shook her head gently.
"Thank you for your kindness and invitation, Mr. Lin."
Her voice remained cold and aloof.
"But I—I already have a place to go."
She raised her head, her gaze fixed on a certain direction beyond the forest, with an almost stubborn determination.
"I want to go to an academy called Shrek first."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiyue's eyes flickered slightly.
He knew, of course, Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts—she was going to Shrek Academy to see her fiancé, Dai Mubai, whose fate was intertwined with hers but who had run away alone at a crucial moment.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing may still have a sliver of hope and a trace of resentment in her heart, wanting to see with her own eyes what kind of state the person who bears the same cruel fate as her is in now.
She hasn't completely given up hope yet.
Unfortunately—
Lin Qiyue sighed inwardly.
He knew better than anyone that Zhu Zhuqing's trip to Shrek Academy was destined to be a disappointment.
During his years in Soto City and at Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai was not enduring hardship and striving for improvement; rather, he lived a very comfortable life.
Twins? That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Escaping responsibility and indulging in pleasure are the true reflections of his behavior over the years.
However, Lin Qiyue did not forcefully try to persuade or persuade him to stay.
Some paths she must walk alone, and some truths she must see through herself.
Premature intervention may not be enough to truly make her give up.
He nodded, a look of understanding on his face.
"Alright, since you've made your decision, I respect your choice."
He paused.
"However, I hope that if you change your mind in the future, or—if you encounter anything at Shrek Academy, you can seriously consider my Blue Silver Academy. Its doors are always open for you."
Zhu Zhuqing was slightly taken aback, not expecting the other party to accept her rejection so easily and even leave such an invitation.
She looked at Lin Qiyue, her clear eyes showing no sign of displeasure at being rejected.
"your?"
She subconsciously caught the word Lin Qiyue used in her words.
"That's right."
Lin Qiyue readily admitted it.
"Blue Silver Academy, in a way, is actually my territory. Although the official founder is Senior Poison Douluo Dugu, the real mastermind behind it is me."
"I can assure you that as long as you are willing to join Blue Silver Academy, you will no longer be bound by any of the Star Luo Zhu family or even the Star Luo royal family. You don't need to worry about that so-called engagement anymore. If you want, I can even help you—completely dissolve that engagement."
Zhu Zhuqing's pupils suddenly contracted.
"You know?"
"The Star Luo Empire's royal family and the Zhu family have a long tradition of intermarrying to select their successors through brutal competition."
"I do know a little about this. It's not just a constraint, it's a death sentence, isn't it?"
Zhu Zhuqing fell silent.
The terms he offered were incredibly tempting.
To break free from the shackles of her family, to end that suffocating, bloody engagement, and to have a peaceful, undisturbed environment to cultivate—wasn't this exactly what she longed for deep down?
Why?
She couldn't help but ask, her voice a little hoarse.
"Why are you being so nice to me? We've only just met."
Lin Qiyue smiled.
"Let's say it's because—I saw your potential, and you deserve a better future."
"I hope that in the future, when you graduate from Blue Silver Academy and become powerful enough, you can join another place—the Moon Goddess Palace."
"The Moon Goddess Palace?"
Zhu Zhuqing repeated the unfamiliar name.
This is something I've never heard of before.
"That's right, this is also my power."
"Although there are very few people at the moment, each one of them is an absolute elite, and in the future, we will surely attract more like-minded partners. I hope that you will be one of them."
Zhu Zhuqing stood there quietly, the evening breeze ruffling her black hair.
Lin Qiyue's words echoed repeatedly in her mind.
Blue Silver Academy, annulment of engagement, Moon Goddess Palace—these words intertwined, tearing open a bright crack full of infinite possibilities for her originally gloomy and hopeless future.
