"Oh no, Fatty, what a terrible idea you came up with!"
"You boys are too wicked! So dirty, can't you be as pure and clean as our Third Brother?"
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing run in disarray to Heart of Fire Academy, Tang San and Xiao Wu understood what might have happened and blamed Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun also felt a bit guilty; he admitted that he did have a hand in instigating it, but he never expected Boss Dai to be so brave, nor did he expect his fiancée to resist so fiercely.
At this moment, Dai Mubai stood outside Heart of Fire Academy and shouting. "Zhu Zhuqing, you are my fiancée. What good does it do to hide in someone else's academy? With our parents' orders and matchmakers' words, can you really escape?"
Bell put on a pair of iron gauntlets in the Heart of Fire Academy's training ground, which would enhance the power of his Tiger Form Fist.
He stood at the entrance of Heart of Fire Academy with his arms crossed, staring at Dai Mubai outside the academy.
If Dai Mubai dared to force his way in, he would strike with heavy punches!
Inside the academy, Xin's figure finally appeared.
However, a pink and white-clad girl followed behind Xin. Ning Rongrong looked radiant and very lively now.
Previously, she only liked to call him 'teacher' when she had questions about ultimate techniques. Now, she liked to call him 'teacher' whether she had something to ask or not.
Moreover, with the formation of the second layer of the "Iron Body", she could easily handle some basic training, and even cancel it. What she needed more was blood refinement and bone refinement, which were mainly catalyzed by diet and spirit power circulation. Therefore, she had more time to pester Xin.
Ning Rongrong saw several bloodstains on Zhu Zhuqing's body and couldn't help but gently cover her mouth. She stepped forward to help Zhu Zhuqing up, feeling a bit distressed, and applied the white medicinal jade muscle cream given by her teacher to her wounds.
"What happened to you? You're so injured."
"Fortunately, the injuries aren't serious. What's going on?" Xin asked.
Zhu Zhuqing, however, knelt directly before Xin.
Ning Rongrong was stunned.
"Teacher, I've finally understood the problem you mentioned earlier. Since I've decided to follow a unique path with you, I should move forward without hesitation and not care about the restraints behind me."
"I want to become stronger, not just to survive, but to live for myself. I want to defeat Dai Mubai, and I want to break free from the constraints of my family!"
"Please accept me as your disciple, Teacher!"
When Ning Rongrong heard Zhu Zhuqing's last words, her eyes widened.
What? I'm here, worried about your injuries, giving you medicine, and you're trying to snatch my teacher?!
"Have you thought it through?"
"I have thought it through."
"Very well. Go fetch tea, kowtow to me three times, bow three times, and recite this oath. From then on, you will be my disciple."
Xin waved a cherry blossom token from his sleeve, and it floated into Zhu Zhuqing's hand.
Zhu Zhuqing, dragging her injured body, brought a cup of tea from the Heart of Fire Pavilion. She knelt before Xin with a thud, kowtowed three times, and bowed three times.
Behind the Cherry Blossom Token was this oath.
"In this world, I, Zhu Zhuqing, have only one teacher, who can move mountains, sever rivers, overturn seas, open the heavens, command gods, and pluck stars!"
