Douluo Continent: I, the world's greatest immortal master, have taken Ning Rongrong as my disci

Chapter 13 Zhu Zhuqing becomes an apprentice again

"Oh no, Fatty, what kind of terrible idea did you come up with?"

"You boys are so wicked! So filthy. Can't you be as pure and innocent as our Third Brother?"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing run to Taoyuan Academy in a disheveled state, Tang San and Xiao Wu understood what might have happened and began to blame Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun was also a little guilty. He admitted that he did have an element of instigation, but he did not expect that Boss Dai would actually be so brave, nor did he expect that his fiancée would fight so desperately.

At this moment, Dai Mubai had already stood outside Peach Blossom Academy and called out:

"Zhu Zhuqing, you are my fiancée. So what if you hide in someone else's academy? It's an arranged marriage, do you think you can escape it?"

Wang Sheng took a pair of iron fists and put them on at the martial arts arena of Taoyuan Academy. This would allow him to unleash the full power of his Tiger Fist. He stood with his arms crossed at the entrance of Taoyuan Academy, staring at Dai Mubai of the academy.

If Dai Mubai dares to force his way in, he will strike back with full force!

Su Ran finally appeared inside the academy.

However, Su Ran was followed by a girl in pink and white. Ning Rongrong looked radiant and very lively.

She used to only call someone "teacher" when she didn't understand a particular martial arts technique, but now she calls someone "teacher" all the time.

Moreover, with the formation of the second Golden Bell, she could easily handle some basic training, and could even skip it. What she needed more was blood and bone refining, which was mainly catalyzed through diet and soul power circulation. Therefore, she had more time to pester Su Ran.

Seeing the numerous bloodstains on Zhu Zhuqing's body, Ning Rongrong gently covered her mouth, went forward to help Zhu Zhuqing up, and, feeling sorry for her, applied the white jade skin ointment her teacher had given her to her wounds.

"What happened to you? You're so badly injured."

"Thankfully, the injuries aren't serious. What happened?"

Su Ran asked.

Zhu Zhuqing knelt directly in front of Su Ran.

Ning Rongrong was completely stunned.

“Teacher, I have figured out the problem you mentioned earlier. Since I have decided to follow you on a different path, I should forge ahead without caring about the constraints behind me.”

"I want to become stronger, not just to survive, but to live for myself. I want to defeat Dai Mubai and break free from the constraints of my family!"

"Please, teacher, accept me as your disciple!"

When Ning Rongrong heard Zhu Zhuqing's last words, her eyes widened in surprise.

No? I felt sorry for you being covered in wounds, so I treated your wounds and applied medicine, and you come to steal my teacher from me?!
"Have you thought it through?"

"I've figured it out."

"Very well, go and serve me tea, kowtow and bow three times, and recite this oath. From now on, you will be my disciple."

Su Ran flicked a peach blossom token from her sleeve, which floated into Zhu Zhuqing's hand.

Zhu Zhuqing, dragging her injured body, brought a cup of peach blossom tea from the Peach Blossom Pavilion, knelt down in front of Su Ran with a thud, and kowtowed three times.

The following vow was made after the Peach Blossom Order:

"In the entire world, I, Zhu Zhuqing, have only one master who can move mountains, sever rivers, overturn seas, open the heavens, command gods, and pluck stars!"

……

“Go back now. Zhu Zhuqing has already become my disciple. From now on, she will be a student of Taoyuan Academy and will have nothing to do with your Shrek Academy.”

"As for you, Dai Mubai, you'd better not bother her anymore."

At the academy gate, Su Ran, wearing a mask, slowly walked over and spoke calmly to the Shrek Academy students outside.

Upon hearing this, the Shrek students exchanged bewildered glances.

"Zhu Zhuqing really joined Taoyuan Academy?"

"Damn, this Peach Blossom Academy is a bit abnormal. They're always trying to steal students from our academy."

"No? I'm the only girl in Shrek Academy?" Xiao Wu asked, her face full of confusion.

Dai Mubai's face also turned ashen:

"Teacher Su Ran, aren't you going too far? Zhu Qing is already a student of Shrek Academy, how can she join your Peach Blossom Academy as well?"

"What happened?"

"Did she become an apprentice of any of your Shrek teachers?"

"That's not true."

“In that case, students have the right to choose their schools and the right to drop out. Besides, she has already become my disciple, so it is only natural for her to join Taoyuan Academy.”

Su Ran said calmly.

"But she's still my fiancée. What right do you have to tell me not to see her?"

Dai Mubai felt somewhat aggrieved. Ever since this Peach Blossom Academy appeared opposite Shrek Academy, he hadn't encountered anything good.

"A fiancée is just a fiancée. Even if they get married, doesn't she have the right to leave?"

Su Ran said coldly.

"Aren't women just appendages of men? This is a family alliance marriage; how can she just leave like that?"

"What's wrong with not being able to leave? Didn't you also choose to escape and leave the clan? Are you the only one allowed to escape, but others are not allowed to choose to leave?"

Su Ran's words were like a knife to Dai Mubai's heart.

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, a dark glint flashing in his eyes:
“My marriage to her is not an ordinary family alliance. If you interfere, do you know what consequences you will face?”

"Now that I, Su Ran, have accepted this disciple, I will take on any trouble that may arise in the future."

Su Ran was completely unafraid.

Isn't it just a marriage alliance between powerful clans of the Star Luo Empire?

Although the Star Luo Empire's elite troops are formidable, they lack powerful Soul Masters. If he focuses on teaching and nurturing Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, and with the feedback from the disciple system, he might be able to break through to the Soul Douluo realm within two years, and even acquire a 100,000-year Soul Ring. No one in the entire Star Luo Empire will be able to frighten him.

“Then let’s follow the rules of our Star Luo Empire. Let Zhu Zhuqing come out and fight me, the Soul Master. Whoever wins gets to decide.”

Dai Mubai called out.

Su Ran glanced at Dai Mubai with disdain in her eyes, then turned and returned to the academy.

"A duel between Soul Masters? You think you're worthy?"

"In less than a year, I will be able to teach her better than you."

The White Tiger Martial Soul possesses the bloodline of a sacred beast and astonishing killing power, but it is an ancestral White Tiger Protective Barrier defensive soul skill. What kind of trouble can it cause?
"If that's the case, why don't you dare let her fight me? Don't you have any sense of rules?"

"The reason for not fighting is simple: your Star Luo's rule is that whoever is stronger calls the shots. Right now, I am stronger, so I call the shots."

Su Ran stood under the peach tree when a peach blossom branch from the sky pierced through the heavens, as if by divine intervention!
