“you…”
Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and looked up to look directly at Lin Feng.
“Can you be serious for once?
Give me a few days to think about it, okay?
Or wait until I’ve dealt with my own affairs before giving you a definite answer?”
The fact that she could say these words shows that her defenses have indeed crumbled.
She had planned to find her fiancé and join an intermediate Soul Master academy in Soto City to continue her studies and become stronger.
If a Soul Saint were willing to personally teach someone, it would be difficult to refuse.
Deep down, a faint sense of anticipation even arose.
If it weren’t for the heavy shackles of her family and the constraints of her marriage contract, she might have already agreed by now.
“good.”
Lin Feng readily agreed, but then held up three fingers, “I’ll give you three days.
If you haven’t made a decision by then, it means we’re not meant to be.”
“I’ll be leaving then.
Hey, I’m telling you, you only get one chance.
It’s up to you to decide.”
This is both a deadline and a form of invisible pressure.
“Thanks…”
Zhu Zhuqing said in a low voice.
She even felt that if she refused this opportunity, she would really miss out on something crucial.
This feeling made her panic.
“Then, I’ll go first…” She subconsciously wanted to escape the atmosphere that was making her heart race.
“Walk?”
Lin Feng suddenly interrupted her: “No need.
Since staying with me makes you so uncomfortable, I’ll leave.”
He turned around decisively, saying, “Anyway, you paid for this room.”
He walked past Zhu Zhuqing and headed straight for the door.
Just as he was about to brush past her, a slightly cool little hand suddenly grabbed his sleeve!
Lin Feng was overjoyed: ‘the fish had taken the bait!
Sure enough, the tactic of feigning indifference never fails!’
Huh?
Wait a minute, he suddenly felt like he had somehow mastered the art of tea ceremony without any instruction?
“No!
Don’t go!”
Zhu Zhuqing’s voice was urgent as she tugged at his sleeve, “I didn’t, I didn’t mean to send you away, really!”
Her mind was in turmoil.
The way he turned away in dejection had given her a strong sense of guilt, as if she had done something heinous.
Lin Feng stopped and turned his head, his gaze fixed on her hand that was clenching her sleeve.
“Okay, I understand.
So, are you still going?”
Zhu Zhuqing’s heart pounded as he looked at her, her cheeks flushed, and she stammered in a low voice, “No, I’m not leaving.”
As soon as she said it, she felt uneasy again.
‘Am I inviting trouble into my home?’
Will this seemingly sunny and handsome boy, who always exudes a bit of roguishness, reveal another terrifying face when she lowers her guard?
She didn’t even realize she was still holding his hand tightly.
“Alright then,”
Lin Feng immediately agreed, his face no longer showing any sign of disappointment, “We’ll just make do for one night…”
Zhu Zhuqing: “…”
Looking at his self-righteous attitude, she suddenly felt like she had shot herself in the foot!
‘This man’s mood changed way too quickly!’
Faintly, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to smell a faint aroma of tea.
Lin Feng insisted on keeping her, naturally he had his reasons, purely for the ‘good show’ that might unfold in the next two days.
As for what to do to her?
He hadn’t even considered it.
Putting aside the age difference, Lin Feng wasn’t that despicable; how old was the other person?
“By the way, you’ve just recovered, you should go and rest.”
He pointed to the bed, his tone unusually serious, “Don’t worry, I’m not a bad person.”
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at him, thinking to herself: ‘Do bad people wear the word “bad” on their faces?’
However, she was indeed very tired.
She looked at the large bed that Lin Feng had made a mess of, silently turned around, walked to the sofa in the living room, and curled up to lie down.
Lin Feng didn’t say anything more, turned around and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
When he came out covered in sweat, he found that Zhu Zhuqing was already asleep.
She curled up tightly on the sofa like a frightened kitten, her brows furrowed slightly even in her sleep, showing a wary expression.
Seeing her like this, Lin Feng felt a sudden pang of tenderness and compassion.
He didn’t want to give up on this promising disciple with both exceptional talent and temperament.
He tiptoed over, carefully picked up Zhu Zhuqing, and moved her to the more comfortable bed, carefully covering her with the blanket.
He went back to the sofa and lay down, soon falling into a deep sleep.
In the darkness, Zhu Zhuqing’s long eyelashes trembled slightly.
She was actually awake the whole time, but she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, not daring to actually fall asleep.
Sensing Lin Feng’s cautious movements and his retreat behind the sofa, her tense nerves finally relaxed completely.
Once she was sure she was safe, her heavy eyelids could no longer stay open, and her consciousness quickly sank into a deep sleep.
The next morning
Lin Feng woke up early, full of energy.
He didn’t disturb Zhu Zhuqing, who was still asleep.
Instead, he sat by the window, engrossed in studying the “Martial Arts Gift Pack” given to him by the system.
In terms of offense and defense, he possesses powerful soul skills derived from the Seven-Skill Lotus Seed, which are no less powerful than the sword techniques in these martial arts.
Of all these martial arts, the only ones he really liked were the movement techniques!
The gift pack contains a wide variety of movement-related martial arts: “Ladder Cloud Leap” excels at using force in the air, making multiple leaps and turns, and can be regarded as the best of lightness skills;
The “Heavenly Net Step” is adept at dodging and weaving, making one feel at ease even in a small space;
“Lingbo Weibu” is elegant and agile, with extremely low energy consumption;
The “Eight Trigrams Wandering Steps” follow the eight trigrams and move in a winding and interwoven manner;
“The Swift and Unpredictable” is a leader in both long-distance sprints and short-range bursts of speed…
“Each has its own merits…”
Lin Feng’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as he directly selected “Ladder Cloud Leap” (emphasizing mobility and height), “Divine Speed and Hundred Transformations” (emphasizing speed and explosiveness), and “Eight Trigrams Swimming Steps” (emphasizing close-range entanglement and evasion).
After selecting these three movement techniques, he immediately began to study and comprehend them.
For him, it’s just a matter of spending more time and energy; after all, it’s never a bad thing to have more skills!
This gift package also includes some internal martial arts techniques.
For example, the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Nine Yin Manual are also listed, truly a generous gift package.
However, it’s not urgent, so he can learn it later.
Who knows, maybe he’ll be able to unlock some profound skills or immortal techniques in the future, which are at least more advanced than this martial art?
“I feel that the Nine Yin Manual is quite a good match for Zhu Zhuqing.”
…
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to be completely exhausted.
The sun was already high in the sky outside the window, but she was still sleeping soundly and showed no signs of waking up.
Lin Feng didn’t urge her, and continued to ponder the mysteries of movement techniques.
Approaching noon
A good night’s sleep finally dispelled the fatigue from days of running and serious injuries.
Zhu Zhuqing slowly woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the glaring sunlight outside the window and immediately exclaimed in annoyance, “Oh no!
Why did I sleep so late?”
She hurriedly sat up and immediately saw Lin Feng sitting cross-legged in the hall with his eyes closed.
She didn’t know how long he had been up.
She tiptoed out of bed, but the slight noise still startled Lin Feng.
He opened his eyes, pointed out the window with a mischievous smile, and said, “Oh, you’re awake?
The sun’s almost high in the sky, it’s almost past noon.”
He looked her up and down and teased, “I didn’t realize you could sleep so much.”
