"Oh?"
Ning Fengzhi's interest was immediately piqued upon hearing this.
It was good to leave this place; he felt it was indeed a bit too humble.
"Dean Jiang, where do you plan to go? If there's anything I can help with, please don't hesitate to ask."
Jiang Yunzhou explained:
"Both disciples are nearing Level 30. Once they acquire their spirit rings, I will take them from here."
"The location isn't fixed yet. Perhaps we'll visit Heaven Dou City first."
As Jiang Yunzhou spoke, he seemed to recall something and glanced at Ning Fengzhi, thinking, Isn't this a perfectly useful tool?
"Speaking of which, Sect Master Ning, there's something I might actually need a small favor with."
"Dean Jiang, just say it, no need to be polite," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile. It was a good thing that the other party had a request; if there were no ulterior motives, it would be harder to deal with.
Jiang Yunzhou didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "To be honest, although I've hung up a school sign here, I actually don't have any official procedures or qualifications…"
Ning Fengzhi immediately understood. Such a small matter was just a word for him: "This is simple. Leave it to me."
Jiang Yunzhou's heart swelled with joy; this matter was settled.
He continued to add: "It's like this: I plan to form a combat team to participate in the next All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. I don't want to be unable to register due to qualification issues; that would be a joke."
"Hahaha ~ Don't worry, Dean Jiang!"
Ning Fengzhi laughed heartily, "I will definitely handle this matter perfectly for you!"
Since the other party was so quick to help, Jiang Yunzhou quickly cupped his hands in thanks: "In that case, I'll trouble Sect Master Ning. What are the fees?"
How could Ning Fengzhi accept such a small sum?
Besides, it wouldn't be enough to repay Jiang Yunzhou's investment in his daughter.
He shook his head repeatedly, waving his hand and saying, "Dean Jiang, let's not mention these trivial matters again."
After some pleasantries, the two settled the main business.
The atmosphere in the small courtyard immediately lightened considerably.
Having resolved the immediate trouble without spending money, Jiang Yunzhou was naturally in high spirits.
He looked into the distance and called out, "Zhu Qing, why are you so unobservant? Hurry up and serve good tea!"
Zhu Zhuqing, who was watching from afar, couldn't help but twitch her lips upon hearing this.
How could this be blamed on me?
However, hearing her teacher's tone, he seemed to be in a very good mood, so she wouldn't blame him. As long as he was happy, it was fine.
She dared not delay and quickly responded, going to prepare tea.
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but secretly grumble to himself: If I had refused to help just now, I probably wouldn't even get a cup of tea, would I?
With the main business concluded, Bone Douluo, who had been unable to restrain himself, finally found an opportunity to interject.
He scrutinized Jiang Yunzhou from head to toe, his voice deep:
"Young man, you have a steady aura; your foundation should be good. What realm are you in now? Do you need this old man to give you some pointers?"
Gu Rong's words were very much in the style of an elder, but of course, he also had the intention of testing him, preparing to show off Ning Rongrong's backing.
Seeing how Jiang Yunzhou had ordered Ning Rongrong around earlier, he had long wanted to do this.
He hadn't even done that himself, and it felt very unbalanced.
Jiang Yunzhou, upon hearing this, was amused. Isn't this a free sparring partner?
As for pointers? He wasn't boasting, but he truly didn't need pointers. However, a spar was certainly possible.
He knew very well Bone Douluo's affection for Ning Rongrong, fearing that he couldn't stand seeing him order her around and was feeling unhappy.
Unhappy? Jiang Yunzhou's lips curved into an intriguing smile.
That's perfect; he specialized in curing all kinds of unhappiness.
"Oh? Bone Douluo wants to give me pointers? That would be truly wonderful."
"Come, come, let's not be constrained here. Let's go to the forest in the distance and have a good spar."
He had been looking for an opportunity to show off his strength to these two, to let others know that he was by no means an easy target.
Since Xiao Wu's identity had been exposed, he presumed these two already knew.
He didn't know their thoughts now, and the best way to dispel their notions was to let them witness his strength.
To tell them that he had Xiao Wu's back.
Gu Rong actually didn't react for a moment.
He had only spoken casually, with a bit of an elder's intention to test a junior.
This young man is truly clueless. Does he genuinely not hear the implied meaning, or is he deliberately playing along?
But the words had already been spoken. As a Titled Douluo, if he retreated, wouldn't he lose all face?
"Very good, you have guts!"
Gu Rong snorted lightly, "Then let's go!"
Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head from the side: "Uncle Gu, stop when you need to, don't hurt anyone."
"Fengzhi, do you take me for a three-year-old child?" Gu Rong was displeased. Why do I feel like I'm being treated as someone who doesn't understand things?
"I know my limits. Do you think I'd be willing to make Rongrong sad?"
As his words fell, his figure flickered, and he had vanished from the spot like Gui Mei.
Jiang Yunzhou chuckled, thinking, This Gu Rong can even throw a small tantrum?
He moved with his body technique, following like a shadow.
Just as Zhu Zhuqing came out with the tea, she saw two figures 'whoosh' over the courtyard wall and instantly disappear into the distance.
"Teacher, where are you going?"
She called out loudly, but received no response, because the two had already gone very far.
Ning Fengzhi, however, smiled and waved to her: "Girl, don't worry, they're going to spar. Do you want to go and watch your teacher spar?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded repeatedly without hesitation: "Yes, Uncle Ning, can I go?"
"Of course you can. Let's go, I also want to see…"
Ning Fengzhi gently flicked his sleeve, and a gentle spirit power lifted Zhu Zhuqing, carrying her towards the direction where the two had disappeared.
Outside the village, in an uninhabited area, Gu Rong and Jiang Yunzhou stood facing each other.
"Young man, show your spirit rings! This old man won't bully…"
Gu Rong habitually tried to put on the airs of an elder, but his words stopped abruptly before he could finish.
Jiang Yunzhou's spirit rings slowly pulsed beneath his feet.
Then, seven spirit rings—purple, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black—quietly appeared.
Gu Rong's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief: "Young man! Your, why are your first two spirit rings purple?"
Is this reasonable?
This spirit ring configuration completely defies common sense!
His intended words caught in his throat, and he was momentarily speechless.
Just these unique spirit rings alone were enough to prove that this young man definitely had some extraordinary qualities!
Moreover, he was so young, yet he was already a Spirit Saint.
The slight contempt in his heart vanished, and he re-examined Jiang Yunzhou.
Just then, Ning Fengzhi arrived with Zhu Zhuqing.
When he saw Jiang Yunzhou's spirit ring configuration, Ning Fengzhi's pupils also contracted slightly, his face showing surprise.
"Girl, your teacher's spirit rings…" He couldn't help but look at Zhu Zhuqing, questioning.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head silently with a puzzled expression, her tone respectful: "Uncle Ning, I don't know much about Teacher's matters. If you want to know, please ask Teacher yourself."
Regarding everything about Jiang Yunzhou, she wouldn't say a single word without his permission.
She was equally curious. The first time she saw him, the first two spirit rings were yellow. The second time she saw him, the first one had already turned purple.
Now, looking again, good heavens, the first two spirit rings had all turned purple.
Could Teacher's spirit rings be able to grow? Many questions swirled in her mind.
She wanted to know more than anyone else right now, okay?
That feeling of being so eager was truly more unbearable than a tease.
