But how could Tangshan agree to that?
He not only had to stay, but also keep a close eye on that man, and even teach him a lesson.
Although Xiao Wu refused to say, he was certain that something must have happened.
The phrase "The choice is yours" felt like a thorn in his heart, giving him a sense of crisis.
He softened his tone and earnestly promised Xiao Wu, "Don't worry, I'm here, I'll protect you."
Xiao Wu simply gave a weak smile in response.
Protection? If you really are a titled Battle Maiden, how can you protect me?
On their way back, they saw Zhu Zhuqing again.
She was stopping another girl and saying something.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was talking to Ning Rongrong.
"Your name is Ning Rongrong, right? I have something I want to tell you."
Ning Rongrong had run away from home and was wandering aimlessly.
I happened to hear today that there's an academy that only accepts monsters, and on a whim, I decided to come and see if I qualify as a monster.
Just as I joined the queue, I was stopped by a stunningly beautiful girl in black.
She pointed to herself in surprise: "You know me?"
He couldn't help but wonder to himself: Am I really that famous? People recognize me even in such a remote place?
Zhu Zhuqing was a little nervous and glanced at the teachers from Shilaike Academy who were recruiting students next to her.
Seeing that he wasn't paying attention to them, she lowered her voice and said, "Could you come with me for a moment? We're just across the street, it's not far, we'll just say a few words."
Ning Rongrong found this girl inexplicable, immediately naming names and assuming she was either an enemy or a friend.
She put her hands on her hips and raised her voice: "Hmph, why should I go with you? If you have something to say, say it here!"
She didn't lower her voice, which attracted curious glances from several other applicants nearby.
Upon seeing that they were two outstandingly beautiful young women, the gazes from those individuals immediately became more direct and intense.
Even if I fail the test, it's not a wasted trip just to get to see such beautiful women up close.
With so many people staring at her, Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed slightly.
She didn't want to attract attention, but Ning Rongrong insisted on making a big fuss about it.
This is really a difficult situation.
Fine, I'll just have to grit my teeth and go for it. It's better than turning around and seeing the teacher's disappointed look.
"Miss Ning, it's my teacher who wants to see you."
"Who is your teacher? Just because he wants to see me, does that mean I have to go?" Ning Rongrong's tone became even more aggressive, carrying seven parts spoiled and three parts wariness.
This is her usual method of self-protection.
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly realized that this girl was really difficult to deal with, and in her desperation, she even had the thought of directly dragging her over.
Just then, she glanced up and saw Jiang Yunzhou standing quietly at the entrance of the courtyard across the street, watching her.
It was still that excessively handsome face, and that damnably irresistible charm.
If she can't resist it herself, what about Ning Rongrong?
As if grasping at the last straw, Zhu Zhuqing raised her hand and pointed to the opposite side, saying to Ning Rongrong, "Look, that's my teacher. He's right there. He wants to talk to you."
Ning Rongrong looked in the direction Zhu Zhuqing pointed, and her gaze was instantly drawn to it.
Jiang Yunzhou's 99-point charm was shining brightly at this moment, with outstanding effects.
'This man is my type!'
Ning Rongrong's inner voice immediately started screaming: I, Ning Rongrong, am coming clean! I'm not pretending anymore! I'm a complete and utter fangirl!
Her tone immediately brightened, "You should have said she was your teacher! Come on, let's go talk to her now!"
She even seemed to be urging Zhu Zhuqing on.
Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback by the stark contrast between her previous and current behavior.
Is this done?
The teacher is indeed a teacher; he can deliver a precise blow just by looking at his face.
Zhu Zhuqing was speechless as she watched Ning Rongrong's attitude change in an instant.
Well, all my efforts were for naught, and it's not as effective as the teacher just standing there.
However, none of them noticed that this commotion had already attracted the attention of Li Yisong, who was in charge of admissions.
He followed the direction Zhu Zhuqing was pointing and saw not only the incredibly handsome young man, but also the brand-new plaque—Supreme Academy.
A man with excessive charm often attracts women, while other men only see him as an enemy.
Therefore, he disliked Jiang Yunzhou at first sight.
Li Yisong took a breath and rubbed his eyes. "When did an academy appear on the other side?"
He clearly remembered that it hadn't happened yesterday.
If this were an academy, the girl in black wouldn't be here to enroll...
He instantly realized, "They're here to poach our employees!"
This is practically cutting off his source of income and hindering him from achieving his revenue target for today!
I've only managed to collect a few hundred coins after a busy morning, far from meeting my KPIs. How can I let someone steal my person away right in front of me?
A surge of anger rushed to his head, and he slammed his hand on the table with a loud thud, taking the initiative.
"Hmph! You two little brats, stop right there!"
He shouted sternly, then slowly stood up, walking towards the two with the unique pressure of a Soul Master, his gaze mainly fixed on Zhu Zhuqing:
"You're from that college over there? You dare poach people right in front of me? Do you know where you are? Don't you know the rules?!"
As a Soul Emperor and an examiner for many years, Li Yisong exudes a sense of oppression when he is serious, which makes Zhu Zhuqing's heart tighten.
But when she caught sight of Jiang Yunzhou, who was calm and composed across from her, she mustered her courage and retorted, "So what if I am? I'm just taking my friend over to say a few words, and you're going to interfere with that?"
Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, looked like she was watching a good show, showing no intention of intervening, her gaze fixed on Jiang Yunzhou.
"Hmph! If you're going to snatch someone, just snatch them. What's with all this talk about friends? Do you think I'm deaf?" Li Yisong's voice was even deeper.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Jiang Yunzhou across from her, who seemed completely unconcerned, and felt so angry she wanted to stomp her feet.
Teacher, come quick! I can't handle this mess anymore, ugh, I'm so tired!
After holding it in for a long time, she finally managed to squeeze out, "I don't care if you heard me or not!"
After saying that, she walked past Li Yisong, grabbed Ning Rongrong, and tried to rush to the other side.
Li Yisong was furious.
In front of everyone, how could he save face after being so contradicted and ignored by two young girls?
"Stop right there! If you dare take another step, don't blame me for lowering myself to bully the weak!"
However, Zhu Zhuqing paid no heed; as long as she got to the teacher, she would be safe!
Li Yisong hadn't encountered such a disrespectful junior in a long time, one who even dared to provoke him to his face.
The Soul Emperor's dignity cannot be violated; he must teach him a lesson to save face.
"Hmph! Stubborn!"
He let out a low shout and instantly summoned his martial spirit: Dragon Pattern Staff!
Immediately afterwards, six spirit rings—one white, one yellow, three purple, and one black—rose one after another from beneath his feet, and powerful spirit energy fluctuations suddenly spread out!
The power of the six-ring Soul Emperor was fully revealed, immediately causing a huge commotion at the scene.
"Wow! This old man is actually a Soul Emperor!"
"This academy looks dilapidated, but the teachers are actually experts!"
"Unfortunately, I didn't qualify, and the registration fee won't be refunded..."
"That girl in black is in for a world of trouble! How dare she anger a Soul Emperor!"
Amidst the gasps and whispers around her, Ning Rongrong showed no sign of worry. Her gaze remained fixed on Jiang Yunzhou, and the closer she looked, the more her face flushed and her heart raced.
She's a fan of this man!
Chapter 21: Having Provoked a Soul Saint, That Young Man is Finished.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was firmly locked in by the Soul Emperor's aura, felt a chill run down her spine and was on the verge of tears.
Jiang Yunzhou hadn't expected Li Yisong to be so decisive in taking action.
He frowned slightly, took a step forward and stood in front of Zhu Zhuqing, gently patting her shoulder: "It's alright, take her to the side and wait."
Zhu Zhuqing felt a sense of relief, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
It has to be a teacher; that gives me a real sense of security.
Then, Jiang Yunzhou looked up at the aggressive Li Yisong and said in a calm but slightly teasing tone, "What, is it worth a Soul Emperor to take action against a child over a few words? At your age, it seems your ability to control your temper is still lacking."
Li Yisong snorted coldly, glanced at Jiang Yunzhou's overly youthful face, and without giving him any face, reprimanded him displeasedly:
"Where did this brat come from? How dare he be so disrespectful! Bring your parents out here! I want to ask them myself how they raised their children, allowing them to run wild in front of other people's houses!"
Jiang Yunzhou was visibly taken aback upon hearing this.
Am I being treated like a child?
Jiang Yunzhou not only did not back down, but stepped forward and patted Li Yisong on the shoulder.
This action seemed particularly abrupt and provocative in the tense atmosphere.
"Isn't that a coincidence..."
He spoke casually, with a roguish grin, "I'm the dean of this newly opened Supreme Academy. What explanation do you want? Come on, tell me, and I'll give it to you."
