After Chrysanthemum Douluo left, only the two of them remained!
Ye Feng and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Cough cough!"
"Zhuqing Sister!"
Ye Feng had something he wanted to say to Zhu Zhuqing.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing slowly walked up to Ye Feng!
"Master, do you have something to tell me?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at him with a puzzled expression on her face.
She just didn't understand what Ye Feng was about to say to her!
All that needed to be said had been clearly stated, what else could there be to talk about?
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing felt somewhat perplexed.
"Zhu Zhuqing, there's one more thing I need to explain to you again, so as to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings when we meet next time,"
"Today, the two of us stand here and speak openly."
Ye Feng said with a cold demeanor.
"Master, please speak, I'm all ears."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at him seriously.
"You know, we are indeed just in a teacher-student relationship, and not involved in any improper relationship like others have been suggesting. In the future, if anyone asks or expresses suspicion about us, just deny it outright without any need for detailed explanations. The more we try to explain, the messier it gets."
"Moreover, I do have someone I like!"
What situation was this!
Ye Feng was actually saying all this in front of Zhu Zhuqing!
This was clearly an indication that the girl in front of him wasn't his type!
In fact, Ye Feng had long noticed Zhu Zhuqing's secret crush on him, but it was somewhat embarrassing to bring it up.
Even if she didn't speak of it, it had been detected by Ye Feng's Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze.
So Ye Feng bluntly stated it to her face and rejected her!
Thereafter, there was no need for her to confess her feelings.
There was no chance anymore!
"Oh, so Master already has someone he likes, then I, Zhu Zhuqing, am happy for you,"
Zhu Zhuqing said with an awkward smile.
It was truly too embarrassing.
At this moment, she wished she could just burrow into a hole and hide!
"Alright, I understand."
Zhu Zhuqing said with a disheartened demeanor.
Ye Feng was the type she had always liked.
Regrettably, he had directly given her his answer, that he liked someone else.
It might appear that she wasn't affected, but inwardly, who knew how heartbroken she was!
It looked like she had lost all hope.
For someone as outstanding as Ye Feng, it was the kind of man countless girls could easily fall for.
Ye Feng could tell that Zhu Zhuqing's face quickly lost its smile.
Previously, every time they met, she would look at Ye Feng with a beaming smile.
But this time was different.
Ye Feng had spoken frankly and completely baffled Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhuqing Sister, did you understand what I said?"
Ye Feng directly asked.
"Master, didn't I already tell you before that I came to you solely with the intention of becoming your disciple, and never thought of crossing any boundaries in our teacher-student relationship? So now, I just want to focus on improving my Martial Soul and have no other thoughts; I cannot betray my original intention,"
Zhu Zhuqing looked ahead with an ice-cold expression in her eyes.
It seemed like she had given up for good this time!
She had held a sliver of hope to confess her feelings to Ye Feng, but never did she imagine that Ye Feng would be one step ahead of her!
He had effectively shut her down.
"Zhuqing Sister, you can privately call me Ye Feng or classmate Ye Feng; there's no need to always address me as 'Master'. If we're outside, you can call me 'Master' then,"
"After all, we are of the same age; I am only a year older than you. I'm very glad to have met you, and you are remarkable and deserve praise. We should cherish our teacher-student relationship, and as long as you're willing to learn, I'm willing to guide you."
Ye Feng told her that as long as she was willing to learn, he was more than happy to teach her!
However, his abilities were limited!
He could only lay down some of the most basic foundations.
"Also, we met during the competition, and it was thanks to those no-good guys from Shrek Academy, especially that old man Yu Xiaogang who is always dismissive of others. I really don't understand why Shrek Academy would let Yu Xiaogang join their ranks."
"A fine academy was compromised by the likes of him, making it not as good as it used to be."
Ye Feng smoothly changed the subject!
In an attempt to ease the awkwardness, he started talking about Shrek Academy.
This left Zhu Zhuqing feeling completely bewildered.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Ye Feng a few times.
Out of nowhere!
Suddenly, the conversation turned to Shrek Academy!
Shrek Academy had students like Dai Mubai!
This caused Zhu Zhuqing's emotions to become somewhat angry.
"Hmph! Shrek Academy..."
Zhu Zhuqing said with a displeased tone.
Her gaze firmly fixed on the distance.
Dai Mubai!
Dai Mubai, you owe me a debt that has yet to be repaid. When I see you again, I will definitely teach you a lesson!
Just you wait!
"If it weren't for Master's mentioning Shrek Academy, I almost forgot that there was such an academy."
"And Yu Xiaogang and Dai Mubai, they're the last people I want to see. If you hadn't brought them up, Master, I would have thought they no longer existed on the Soul Land Continent!"
Such statements sounded exaggerated; it wasn't so easy for that bunch of people to die!!
"Hmph! Why don't we just go and challenge them to a duel someday?"
"And Tang San. Someday when we find the time, we must give his master and apprentice a good beating. It's been a long while since we've had a chance to spar with them."
"Zhu Zhuqing, what do you think!?"
Faced with Ye Feng's question, Zhu Zhuqing smiled.
"Sure, I'm certainly willing, Ye Feng."
"I also haven't seen them looking so pitiable and tearful in a long time. I can't wait to see you beat them up in front of everyone and watch them lose face."
"I remember Yu Xiaogang at Douluo Academy being pelted with rotten eggs and turnips, crawling out of the academy gates all the way to Shrek Academy, losing all his dignity."
"It's ridiculous that after that, Shrek Academy still insisted on keeping Yu Xiaogang."
"Master, why do you think that is!?"
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing spoke up.
"What else could it be! Of course, it's because of Tang San. Tang San definitely wouldn't agree to the academy driving Yu Xiaogang away. Even if they did, he would still follow him. Yu Xiaogang is his master; they would never easily part ways!"
Ye Feng said directly.
As to why he knew this!
Tang San had knelt before him to take Yu Xiaogang as his master.
Yu Xiaogang had taken a liking to Tang San.
So Yu Xiaogang didn't give Ye Feng as much as a glance, and Ye Feng had sworn to make them take notice of him someday!
Now that Ye Feng had become outstanding, Yu Xiaogang and the others still looked down on him!
It wasn't so much disdain as it was feeling too ashamed to admit that Ye Feng was more outstanding than his own disciple.
"Yu Xiaogang is just trash."
Ye Feng said with a sly smile.
"It was Yu Xiaogang who drove me away in the first place. I should be thanking him more. If he hadn't done that, I wouldn't have met you, Master."
Zhu Zhuqing immediately spoke.
"Alright, let's not bring up the past; it's all history now."
"Anyway, we'll just find a suitable time to confront them in person someday."
Then, Ye Feng looked over his shoulder.
Zhu Zhuqing noticed Ye Feng.
"Master, are you sure you want to hurry back now?"
"Look, it's getting late. Why not stay another day and head back early the next morning? It won't be too late!"
Zhu Zhuqing said at that moment.
Actually, Zhuqing had no other intentions; she was just kindly reminding Ye Feng!
"No, there's no need to trouble you, Sister Zhuqing."
Ye Feng immediately responded.
At that moment, Ye Feng didn't want to stay another second; he was thinking of leaving as soon as possible.
"Alright then. Master, when you have time, come visit our Xingluo Empire again. A lot has happened these past few days, and I am sorry if we disturbed you."
"I hope that when you visit our Xingluo Empire again, there won't be a repeat of such events."
Zhu Zhuqing said with a lowered head.
Watching Ye Feng nod.
Zhu Zhuqing smiled as she saw Ye Feng nod.
His master didn't say much, just a nod of the head!
That was exactly an indication that Ye Feng was not rejecting her!
Or perhaps it was silence!
Whether he would come next time was still uncertain!
