"Well, Man An, I want to ask how your arrow works, like this flying here and there, does it work by your whistling or this is your self created skill?" Ning Rongrong asked looking at Man An who was carrying Zhuqing on his back.
'This Little witch is following me now, alas, should I ignore her or answer her?' Man An thought to himself.
"Self created skill." Man An answered.
"Did you make it or inherited from your family?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"I made it and mutated martial soul only one in whole world." Man An replied.
Zhuqing was surprised and shocked, as his martial soul, which was so powerful was mutated and shocked that he created a self created skill at young age.
This strengthened her choice to follow Man An or not in following a bit.
"Wow, so from where you are?" Ning Rongrong asked.
Man An didn't said anything this time.
Ning Rongrong pouted, seeing that he is not answering her any more, but she didn't left, just followed him.
"You will know later." Man An said after a long time.
"Humph, if you don't want to tell, then don't." Ning Rongrong said and turned to walk towards another direction.
"Hey! where are you going?" Man An asked Ning Rongrong yelling slightly.
"Me? To booked hotel room?" Ning Rongrong said.
"Oh, I thought you're staying at Rose hotel." Man An said a bit sad.
"Okay than bye bye." Man An said and turned to walk again.
Ning Rongrong stood there for a while and turned to follow Man An.
Man An sensed Ning Rongrong following him, there was a smirk on his face.
Zhuqing saw this smirk, but didn't said anything.
'What is he thinking?' Zhuqing thought to herself.
After coming to Rose hotel, Man An walked in front of counter.
"Hey book us two rooms." Man An said to counter guy.
"Well sir, we only have one..."
"Did you said anything? I didn't heard, can you speak again a bit loudly." Man An said as his aura was pressing on counter guy.
When counter guy said about only one room, Man An felt Zhuqing's body becoming stiff.
This was a skill he mastered unknowingly, while practicing his meditation skill of soul power compression.
Only after becoming Soul Emperor can a soul master use his soul power more proficiently, but Man An got it as his soul power control became more easy.
"Sorry, sorry, soul master, here are keys for two rooms." Counter guy said and quickly took out two room keys and handed them to Man An.
Man An threw a gold coins and turned to walk toward stairs.
Zhuqing was touched in her heart a bit, if it was another guy, they may take only one room, but he took care of her feelings.
Ning Rongrong also followed Man An after glancing at Counter guy again.
'Did he just used Soul power pressure, which only after becoming Soul Emperor can be used.' Ning Rongrong thought to herself.
Man An tossed one of the key to Ning Rongrong and opened gate of room using key in his hand and walked in.
Man An laid Zhuqing on bed and covered her with quilt.
"Okay now you rest, as for food, I will bring it to you later, bye." Man An said and turned to leave.
"Hey Man An, can you tell me why, why are you taking care of me so much? We have never met before." Zhuqing said lightly, looking in eyes of Man An.
Man An who stopped after hearing what she said and turned to look at her.
"Why? Because you're beautiful, hard working, never stopping even if world is oppressing you everywhere and as for main reason, I have fell in love with you at first sight." Man An said and walked out of the room and closed the door.
Doors of this hotel are self locking doors.
Ning Rongrong who was eavesdropping have already ran to her room, before Man An came out.
Ning Rongrong was annoyed very much, as from the beginning Man An hasn't paid much attention to her, she who has been in attention of everyone from her birth, didn't like this feeling of not being paid attention, specially those who she sees as a bit of worthy genius in front of her.
'Wait for a while, I will let you know the consequences of ignoring me.' Ning Rongrong muttered to herself.
Man An entered his room and started meditating.
In evening Man An opened his eyes and walked out of room and arrive dat restaurant and had dinner.
Man An picked up two tiffin as he asked for them from hotel staff.
He walked in front of Ning Rongrong's room and knocked lightly.
Ning Rongrong opened the door and was surprised as looking at Man An.
"Here's your dinner." Man An handed her one of the tiffin.
"Uh, thanks." Ning Rongrong said bit bewildered.
She didn't understand that, why Man An who was ignoring her whole day, brought her dinner at night, she closed her room's door.
Man An turned and opened another door and entered the room.
Man An found Zhuqing practicing, he put tiffin on the table near the bed and turned to leave.
After Man An closed the door, Zhuqing opened her eyes and looked towards door with a smile on her lips.
...
Next morning.
Man An, Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong arrived at playground of Shrek Academy and waited for Dean to come with other students.
Who were Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar.
Flender arrived gave a speech and asked everyone to run for 20 times around the Shrek Academy.
Ning Rongrong opposed, but Flender said she can get out of the college, if she didn't want to.
In the last Ning Rongrong joined Man An and Zhuqing.
Oscar wanted to come near Ning Rongrong, but when he saw that she was talking happily with Man An and Zhuqing, he rejected this plan for now.
Ning Rongrong in middle of the way left, saying that she will go to city for shopping.
Man An didn't said anything.
After completing 20 laps, Man An with Zhuqing also walked towards Suotuo City and met Ning Rongrong on the way.
Three of them happily enjoyed shopping and returned to academy before night came.
Flender has fight with Ning Rongrong like usual and Ning Rongrong ran away.
Man An nodded to Zhuqing and followed Ning Rongrong.
Zhuqing didn't said anything and followed others to Soul Arena.
Oscar also wanted to follow but seeing Man An taking step ahead of him, he stopped.
Man An followed Ning Rongrong to outskirts of village around Shek Academy.
"Hey Ning Rongrong why are you running so far away? If you have run like this before, you don't have to hear bickering of that profiteer." Man An said sitting beside tired and panting Ning Rongrong.
"Why are you following me? Didn't you have taken liking to that girl?" Ning Rongrong didn't answered but asked a question.
"Oh we are just friends and I'm thinking of opening a Advanced Soul Master academy and participate in Soul Master competition held by Soul Palace, that's why I wanted to attract few geniuses." Man An said.
"Do you think finding geniuses is so easy, day dreaming." Ning Rongrong said.
"If you join me with Zhuqing and I will find few other guys it is not impossible to win competition with my plan and you know a insider news, that Soul Palace had taken out three soul bones as rewards for winners." Man An said.
"What! How did you know? And is this real? I thought just a rumour. " Ning Rongrong said with a bit of disbelief.
"Well, Pope thinks that Golden generation of Soul Academy will win this competition so she wanted to give these soul bones to her disciples in disguise of competition." Man An said.
Ning Rongrong's eyes changed looking at Man An, she didn't think he knows so much inside news.
As for why Man An exposed so much information, he knew that Ning Rongrong has started to be attracted to him.
He just have to give her sweet chocolate then sour then again sweet.
"Okay, I will join you, if you can open a advanced soul master academy and show me your talent." Ning Rongrong said.
"You will know soon." Man An said mysteriously.
"Humph pretending to be mysterious." Ning Rongrong showed disdain, but her heart wanted to know more information.
Both of them became silent and looked at stars.
After few hours both of them returned to hotel, Man An found Zhuqing sleeping in her room, so he didn't disturbed her, as tomorrow will be the day, very tiring one.
