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

Chapter 97 The Golden Circle Subdues Liu Erlong—The Young Sect Master's Guardian

"Teacher, she has been kneeling outside for three days and three nights. I feel that this sister is very determined to become a disciple. Why are you unwilling to accept her as your apprentice?"

"She's pitiful. These past two days have been either scorching hot or torrential rain. Can she hold on?"

"Teacher, what heinous things has she done in the past? Is that why you are unwilling to give her even the slightest chance?"

Inside the camp of Taoyuan Academy, Xiao Wu, Meng Yiran, and other students felt pity for the woman kneeling outside the camp, begging to become their disciple.

Wang Sheng stood to the side, expressionless. He believed that his teacher must have his reasons for doing so.

Su Ran pondered for a moment, then said to Xiao Wu and the others:
"If you knew that someone had gone to great lengths to come to your side in order to help their loved ones gain benefits by any means necessary, would you keep her or kill her?"

Su Ran posed this question to his disciple.

Xiao Wu and Meng Yiran fell silent upon hearing this.

"The person she loves... we can understand that to some extent, but could it be that she loves Yu Xiaogou? What low taste."

"If we keep her, she will undoubtedly be a scourge, helping our opponents, which is not good for us."

"But if we kill her, it seems she doesn't deserve to die, and it will leave the academy with a reputation for indiscriminate killing of students."

"The best thing to do is to let her go, but she refuses to leave."

"Teacher, we don't know what to do either. Whatever decision you make, we will stand by you."

Xiao Wu and Meng Yiran couldn't understand the intricacies of the situation and expressed their opinions.

They don't really care about anything else; as long as they can learn from their teachers, they're willing to do it anywhere.

……

Outside Camp One.

Looking at the bowl of warm rice in front of her, Liu Er felt a strange warmth in her heart. She couldn't help but look up at the girl in front of her.

The girl had pink hair as bright as peach blossoms, and she looked as delicate as a little princess.

Liu Erlong's lips were pale, and his body was quite weak: "Can I see Dean Su?"

"The teacher will not accept you as a disciple, so there is no need for you to see him now."

However, your continued kneeling here is damaging the image of our Peach Blossom Academy. Considering your willingness to sacrifice all pride and your perseverance, you can stay by my side. This would make you half a member of the academy, and that's my bottom line. Are you willing?

Liu Erlong swallowed hard. "You mean you want to take me as your disciple, that is, Dean Su's granddaughter?"

"Not a disciple, but a guard."

Ning Rongrong took out a gold and white headband from her soul tool. After all, this woman was the head of the academy; it would be too low for her to be her disciple. This was the last bit of face she was giving her. Women shouldn't make things difficult for other women. She said calmly:

"In the name of the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I hereby retain you as my personal bodyguard. From now on, you will stay by my side and protect me."

You should have heard that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as a support-type sect, selects several sect guardians with each sect leader, just like Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

"This golden circlet was a gift from my teacher. Once you wear it, it becomes proof of your identity. If you have no distracting thoughts and your mind is upright, it will not only not harm you, but will also protect you."

However, if you do anything to harm the interests of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the teachers and students of Peach Blossom Academy, it will restrict your soul power, and the restriction will tighten over time, binding your spirit, and you will face the wrath of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Only when you have a complete awakening and no longer have any attachments in your heart, when you have a righteous mind, will they fall away."

"If you wish, wear it; if you do not, even if you die here, the academy's gates will never open for you again."

After Ning Rongrong finished speaking, she stood there quietly, looking at Liu Erlong with pity, but more like she was looking at a fool.

If my teacher were to assign me any important task, I would be as determined as she is, vowing to complete it even unto death. But my teacher is a celestial being of unparalleled beauty and extraordinary strength, far beyond the reach of ordinary people. How could she possibly be compared to that two-faced villain, Yu Xiaogou?

Liu Erlong's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He clenched his teeth, finally made up his mind, took the golden headband from Ning Rongrong's hand, and put it on his head.
"Liu Erlong greets the Young Sect Master."

When the golden headband was put on, Liu Erlong felt as if it were connected to her flesh and bones, and stuck tightly to her skin.

Moreover, when she tried to loosen it and adjust it, she found that no matter how hard she tried, it wouldn't budge and instead caused her severe pain.

In no time, the golden hoop on Liu Er's head began to tighten, leaving bluish-red marks that caused her a splitting headache.

"what--"

"Ouch, my head hurts!"

"hiss--"

Liu Erlong was already in poor condition and weak. When the golden circle contracted, she was in so much pain that she rolled on the ground and banged her head on the ground.

However, Ning Rongrong's expression grew increasingly cold:
"The teacher said that this golden headband will only tighten when the wearer is trapped by love and desires and commits evil deeds."

"I barely kept you here before it started shrinking, which means you really did have ulterior motives. You should reflect on your actions."

After saying that, Ning Rongrong returned to the camp without looking back, leaving Liu Erlong to wail alone.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Liu Erlong had just recovered from a severe headache and was covered in cold sweat. He lay on the ground staring at the sky, lost in thought.

She discovered that the headband would gradually loosen as long as she stopped thinking about Xiaogang.

But it's very difficult to do that.

But at least, she has taken the first step.

Next to her was the food Ning Rongrong had brought her. She was indeed hungry, like a starving dragon, and she picked up the bowl of food and finished it in no time.

Looking at the students of Taoyuan Academy, she felt a bit conflicted. It seemed that the academy wasn't as bad as Xiaogang had described.

Did I really fall in love with the wrong person?

Ah ~
it hurts!

It felt like a giant stick was being shoved into all seven orifices and stirred around.

It's absolutely unthinkable!
……

"Teacher, will she behave herself after wearing the metal ring?"

Back at the camp, Ning Rongrong explained the situation to her teacher, Su Ran. Although she and Xiao Wu felt that Liu Erlong's infatuation with Yu Xiaogou was pathetic and pitiful, they didn't want their teacher to suffer.

Su Ran took a deep breath and said calmly:
"This Vajra Circlet, also known as the Vajra Heart-Straightening Hoop, is a secondary immortal artifact. It is not only extremely sturdy but also imprisons the spirit. Even a Limit Douluo cannot do anything about it. There is also a control incantation here. As long as you recite the incantation, the Vajra Circlet will contract, restricting her soul power and martial soul, causing her a splitting headache. Even if she cannot straighten her mind, it can still restrain her."

"Since you have taken her as your guardian, I hope you can keep her in check. After you take over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you may encounter many people who are even more difficult to manage than Liu Erlong. If Sect Master Ning knew that you had taken this first step, he would be very pleased."

Because Liu Erlong is restricted by the Vajra Heart-Straightening Hoop, even Ning Rongrong doesn't need to worry about her attacking him.

This is also why Su Ran didn't stop Ning Rongrong from taking Liu Erlong as her boyfriend.
