Her breathing was rapid, and her chest heaved violently.

Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, no sound came out.

Finally, she turned around and slunk away.

The door was closed gently, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

Yang Jian opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling, his vision completely obscured.

He was completely confused and felt utterly bewildered.

Zhu Zhuqing broke into the house in the middle of the night, stood there for a while, and then left.

He shook his head, no longer sleepy, and simply sat up to begin practicing the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

Chapter 64 Sunset Forest

The next morning, Yang Jian finished his cultivation and came out of his room.

The door to the next room opened at that very moment.

Zhu Zhuqing was the first to walk out, her black hair loose and her eyes showing faint dark circles.

Her face was a little pale, and she didn't seem to be in good spirits, as if she hadn't slept well last night.

Xiao Wu followed behind her, sleeping soundly with a rosy complexion.

Yang Jian glanced at Zhu Zhuqing: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed red instantly.

She nodded, then shook her head, her gaze darting away, not daring to look at Yang Jian, and not even daring to speak.

She now wishes she could slap herself twice.

Last night, she had mustered up the courage to go to the bedside, but when she saw Yang Jian's quiet face, she suddenly lost her nerve.

He stood there hesitating for a long time, but in the end he slunk away.

Back in her room, she was so depressed that she couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning, her mind filled with Yang Jian's face.

Yang Jian didn't think much of it and turned to walk downstairs: "Let's go down for dinner."

Zhu Zhuqing said "Oh" and followed.

After taking a couple of steps, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Isn't her name Ning Rongrong?"

Yang Jian chuckled: "If she likes to sleep, then let her sleep."

He didn't turn around and continued walking downstairs.

Zhu Zhuqing watched his retreating figure, feeling somewhat puzzled.

She had noticed it long ago: Yang Jian didn't seem to like Ning Rongrong very much.

Throughout the journey, his attitude towards Ning Rongrong remained lukewarm, and sometimes he even deliberately ignored her.

But if they don't like her, why make Ning Rongrong follow them?

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't figure it out, but she didn't think about it too much.

She took Xiao Wu with her and followed Yang Jian.

……

The three of them had breakfast at the restaurant downstairs.

Yang Jian ate quickly, and Ning Rongrong rubbed her eyes as she came downstairs when she put down her chopsticks.

She was wearing a light green dress, her hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her face still had a lazy look on her face as if she had just woken up.

She glanced at the leftover food on the table, then at Yang Jian, who had already stood up.

He immediately panicked.

"Where are you going?"

Yang Jian did not answer and walked out of the hotel on her own.

Ning Rongrong quickly followed, saying, "Wait for me! I haven't had breakfast yet!"

Yang Jian didn't speak, but just walked forward quietly.

Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and followed.

As she walked away, she complained, "How could you be like this? I haven't even had breakfast, and you're already leaving?"

Yang Jian still ignored her.

Ning Rongrong stomped her foot in anger: "If you keep doing this, I'm leaving!"

Yang Jian didn't even glance at her, his tone indifferent: "Do as you please."

Ning Rongrong stopped and turned to leave.

After walking a few steps, she turned back and saw that Yang Jian not only didn't catch up, but even quickened his pace, his figure getting further and further away.

She stood there, her lips trembling slightly, her eyes reddening.

No one has ever treated her like this before.

The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is always pampered wherever she goes.

She took a deep breath, stomped her foot, and finally chased after him.

Yang Jian heard footsteps behind him.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

If Ning Rongrong had really left just now, he would definitely have beaten her half to death.

But since I'm back, that's fine.

Beating someone half to death now won't have much effect; beating them half to death in front of everyone in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be truly explosive.

"Humph!"

Ning Rongrong caught up and walked beside Yang Jian, her face stern, not saying a word, sulking in a huff.

……

On the way to Sunset Forest, Yang Jian stopped frequently, enjoying the scenery.

When we encounter beautiful scenery, we stop to admire it; when we come across a clear stream, we sit down to rest. We are not in a hurry to continue our journey.

During that time, he also took the time to do something else.

That means the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts urgently needed to be censored.

He retained the basic effects of the technique, such as tempering the body, increasing strength, and accelerating recovery, but all the supernatural powers and spells were removed.

Even so, this abridged version of the technique far surpasses all the techniques in Douluo Continent.

However, this is just his imagination; whether it is actually strong remains to be seen.

He named this censored version of the martial art "Two-Nine Mysterious Technique".

Then he passed it on to Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing was flattered and overwhelmed.

She took the thin booklet, opened the first page, and after just one glance, she knew that this was a technique far beyond her imagination.

The cultivation path recorded above is exquisite and unheard of.

She looked up at Yang Jian, her eyes slightly red.

"Is this for me?"

"Okay, you can start practicing. Ask me if you have any questions," Yang Jian said calmly.

Zhu Zhuqing carefully put the booklet away and nodded vigorously.

She secretly vowed in her heart that she would cultivate diligently and live up to Yang Jian's expectations.

Xiao Wu watched this scene from the side, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

She didn't know what Yang Jian had given Zhu Zhuqing, but judging from Zhu Zhuqing's expression, it must have been something incredibly precious.

She lowered her head, feeling a pang of envy for some reason.

……

More than ten days later, Yang Jian finally arrived at Sunset Forest.

Instead of heading straight into the forest, he found a small town nearby to stay in.

As before, he booked a room, left Ning Rongrong at the hotel, and then took Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu into the Sunset Forest.

Ning Rongrong stood at the hotel entrance, watching the three figures disappear at the end of the street, too angry to speak.

It's always like this.

It's happening again!

She turned and went back to her room, slammed the door shut, collapsed onto the bed, and buried her face in the pillow.

……

Sunset Forest is much smaller than Starry Sky Forest, but it is much more gloomy.

The trees were tall and dense, blocking out the sun and making the light dim.

The ground was covered with withered branches and leaves, which made a rustling sound when stepped on.

Yang Jian unleashed his spiritual power, spreading it outwards in all directions from himself.

His mental strength is now comparable to that of a Title Douluo, and it is more than enough to cover the entire Sunset Forest.

He quickly identified a location.

Deep in the forest, in an area shrouded in poisonous miasma.

Yang Jian walked in that direction.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu followed closely behind him.
