Chapter 409 An unexpected encounter with Ning Rongrong at the Rose Hotel
Zhu Zhuqing did not agree immediately. She raised her head slightly and turned her gaze to her most trusted brother, Ye.
Ye Qifeng nodded to her and gave her a brief introduction to the ghosts:
"Zhu Qing, the person in front of you is an elder of our Spirit Hall, Ghost Douluo Ghost Phantom. You must have heard of Elder Ghost's great name."
Zhu Zhuqing was immediately shocked upon hearing this:
"What? This eerie black-robed figure before us is the very same Title Douluo known as 'Leaving only a ghostly shadow, no spirit seen,' the pinnacle of agility-type spirit masters—the Ghost Douluo?!"
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's utterly shocked expression, Ye Qifeng smiled and continued:
"Zhu Qing, Elder Gui is not an ordinary Title Douluo. He is now a Super Douluo with a Soul Power of Level 96 at its peak, and he will soon break through to Level 97."
"I don't need to elaborate on Elder Gui's achievements in the field of agility-type Soul Masters, do I? As an agility-type Soul Master yourself, you should know this better than I do."
"It would be best if Elder Ghost took you as his disciple and taught you personally. It would be much better than having an outsider like me."
"A level 96 peak Super Douluo?!"
Hearing these words, Zhu Zhuqing's shock intensified. She subconsciously swallowed. My God, this is a Super Douluo! It's a rare sight indeed, and I've actually seen one in person? And he even wants to take me as his disciple?
It's important to understand that in the Douluo Continent, there are already very few Title Douluo-level powerhouses, and Super Douluo are even rarer, practically as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Moreover, these powerful individuals are all extremely rare, appearing only briefly in the background. Ordinary people would almost never see their true faces even once in their entire lives.
But now she has not only seen one, but also a powerful level 96 peak Super Douluo, right in front of her.
That said, it seems that Super Douluo in Douluo Continent only exist in the Spirit Hall, and the situation in the Star Luo Empire is similar to that in the Heaven Dou Empire. Not to mention Super Douluo, even Title Douluo are rare.
Even if they exist, they mostly reside within sects and families, are not under the jurisdiction of the two great empires, and rarely appear in public.
The Star Luo Empire is somewhat better off.
At least the Star Luo royal family, the Dai family, is not as weak as the Heaven Dou royal family, the Okula Xue family.
The White Tiger, the inherited martial soul of the Dai family, is a top-tier beast martial soul. Talented geniuses with sufficient abilities still have a chance to cultivate it into a Title Douluo, but there is absolutely no possibility of cultivating it to the level of Super Douluo.
As for the Zhu family of the Netherworld Grand Duke's Mansion, their inherited martial soul, the Netherworld Spirit Cat, is a grade lower than the Dai family's inherited martial soul, the White Tiger. It is only a high-grade martial soul, making it almost impossible for them to become Title Douluo.
Therefore, the Super Douluo is an unattainable existence for both the Zhu family of the Netherworld Grand Duke's Mansion and the Dai family of the Star Luo Royal Family.
Unexpectedly, the Ghost Douluo before them was such a powerful and awe-inspiring figure.
Zhu Zhuqing was greatly shocked and surprised by this, then suddenly paused, somewhat confused:
"Wait a minute? I remember that according to the intelligence records collected by the Zhu family, Ghost Douluo's true strength should be below level 95. How could he suddenly become a peak level 96 Super Douluo? Strange."
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing seemed to be stunned, Ye Qifeng spoke gently and advised:
"Zhu Qing, don't hesitate, just agree."
"Elder Ghost has never taken on a disciple in his entire life, and you will be the first. He will do his best to train you."
At this moment, the ghost beside them spoke again:
"That's right. As long as you agree to become my disciple, you will not only be my first disciple, but also my last. I will impart all the knowledge I have learned in my life to you."
"Are you... willing?"
After saying that, Gui Mei didn't say anything more, and quietly looked at Zhu Zhuqing, waiting for her answer.
Ye Qifeng didn't say anything more, giving Zhu Zhuqing some time to think, but he believed that Zhu Zhuqing would agree.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Ye Qifeng, who was smiling at her, and received an encouraging look.
He glanced at the ghost again and felt his burning, eager gaze.
Although it's a bit of a pity that I couldn't be accepted as a disciple by Brother Ye, it's still a good choice to become a disciple of Ghost Douluo, a super Douluo with agility-based attacks.
Most importantly, this was a teacher recommended by Brother Ye! ... Zhu Zhuqing didn't hesitate any longer and immediately agreed:
"I do!"
She immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully bowed to the ghost, bowing as if to become its disciple.
"Greetings, teacher!"
Subsequently, witnessed by Ye Qifeng, Zhu Zhuqing formally became the disciple of Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.
…………
the next day.
Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing walked out of the room, intending to go downstairs for breakfast.
The price of a room at the Rose Hotel is relatively expensive, as it mainly features couples' rooms and has complete facilities.
The service was excellent; they even provided guests with a carefully prepared breakfast.
When Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing went out, they saw the waiters pushing in carts full of fresh roses of different colors, and then they began to replace the roses in every guest room on the top floor.
Seeing this, Ye Qifeng shook his head, thinking to himself that it was truly extravagant, and then withdrew his gaze.
Zhu Zhuqing, standing beside her, had bright, sparkling eyes and a slightly flushed face, seemingly very interested in the different colored roses.
It's just a bit of a pity that I didn't get to sleep in the same bed with Brother Ye last night.
And they're checking out today, so who knows when they'll be able to come back and stay here with Brother Ye again?
Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself silently.
Stealing a glance at Ye Qifeng beside her, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with trust, respect and admiration, as if she had completely become Ye Qifeng's shape, and could no longer see anything else.
At this moment, her expression was no longer as cold as before; instead, it was much gentler, and the look in her eyes was no longer as lifeless as before.
Although he still appears somewhat aloof due to his personality, he has become much more lively, as if he is full of energy, as if he has been reborn, and is full of anticipation and hope for the future.
When Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing walked down the stairs and arrived at the restaurant next to the lobby on the first floor of the Rose Hotel, they unexpectedly saw three figures.
It was Tang San, the dog, Xiao Wu, the rogue rabbit, and a girl who was the same age as them, twelve years old.
The girl was dressed in a pure white dress, was 1.65 meters tall, and had long chestnut brown hair that reached her waist. She had a small braid on each side of her ears, and her hairstyle was elegant yet playful, giving her a clean and tidy appearance.
What's even more striking is her appearance.
The young girl had exquisite features, snow-white skin, smooth and supple skin, a well-proportioned figure, a slender waist, and a noble and ethereal temperament.
It's obvious at a glance that she comes from an extraordinary background.
Ye Qifeng only glanced at her briefly before instantly recognizing the girl's identity.
She is none other than the young princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the second-ranked sect among the three upper sects, and the only daughter of its sect leader, Ning Fengzhi—
Ning Rongrong!
Unexpectedly, Tang San and Xiao Wu actually dared to stay at the Rose Hotel, which surprised Ye Qifeng.
To his surprise, Ning Rongrong also came to stay at the Rose Hotel.
Moreover, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong were unexpectedly sitting at the same dining table.
At this moment, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong seemed to be talking quietly about something. Both of them looked excited and seemed to be quite compatible.
Unexpectedly, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong met beforehand, and at the Rose Hotel no less.
This was something Ye Qifeng never expected.
According to the original course of fate.
Ning Rongrong should have met Tang San and Xiao Wu for the first time when they went to Shrek Academy to register. How come she suddenly appeared here?
It seems my intrusion has caused quite a deviation from the course of fate.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Although fate has changed slightly, it doesn't affect anything.
No matter how fate unfolds, I will steadfastly continue with what I need to do and the plans I need to execute.
Ye Qifeng glanced indifferently at Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the three others, then looked away.
…………
Tang San and Xiao Wu still dared to stay at the Rose Hotel.
It was because the hotel manager sincerely invited them and promised to waive the rent.
In addition, the two of them gained Dai Mubai's friendship, and Dai Mubai generously gave them the Red Ocean, where he often went to have fun, to live.
Upon hearing that they could stay at the Rose Hotel for free, Tang San and Xiao Wu naturally wouldn't refuse; a free hotel is a free hotel, so why not take it?
Moreover, Tang San also wanted to live closer to Ye Qifeng to see if there was a chance to get back the Zhuge Crossbow and the Silent Sleeve Arrow from Ye Qifeng.
So after healing their injuries, Tang San and Xiao Wu returned to the Rose Hotel with the hotel manager.
And just as fate would have it, they moved into that red ocean.
…………
As for why Ning Rongrong suddenly appeared at the Rose Hotel.
This was purely an accident.
Yesterday afternoon.
Ning Rongrong, who was strolling around the city center of Soto, suddenly heard a patrol of guards say that a fight had broken out between Soul Masters at a Rose Hotel on the south side of the city, and that someone had been injured.
Hearing that there was something exciting to watch, the bold and curious Ning Rongrong immediately ran over, ready to watch the show.
When she arrived at the scene, the battle was already over, and both sides had vanished without a trace.
Only a few staff members from the Rose Hotel were cleaning up and clearing away the wreckage.
Just then, the same receptionist from before was also there, and he was talking non-stop, vividly describing the scene of the Soul Masters' battle to the other staff, as if he had really seen it with his own eyes.
This caused several waiters to exclaim in surprise.
Ning Rongrong, who happened to arrive at the Rose Hotel, overheard what the waiter said and learned that the two sides fighting seemed to be young Soul Masters.
Seeing the traces of the battle in the hotel lobby made him even more interested.
As the direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong has excellent judgment.
Based on the traces of the battle in the hall, it was quickly deduced that there should be five soul masters involved in the fight: two Soul Venerables and three Great Soul Masters.
Recruiting young, talented Soul Masters to join the sect has always been the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's mission, and Ning Rongrong has inherited this tradition well.
Upon hearing that the two sides fighting were several young Soul Masters, and that they seemed to have good talent and strength, they were surprised to learn that they were fighting against each other.
Ning Rongrong became even more interested and hurriedly inquired about the whereabouts of the Soul Masters from both sides in the battle from the waiter.
The waiter was fairly professional and did not easily disclose the information of his hotel's customers.
However, Ning Rongrong used money to pave the way, and not only did she successfully check into the Rose Hotel, but she also successfully found out the identities of the two sides in the conflict, and learned that Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing were staying at the Blue Enchantress on the top floor of the Rose Hotel.
With the intention of getting to know the two young geniuses, Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing.
Ning Rongrong chose to stay at the White Innocence room next to the Blue Enchantress room, and even waited for quite a while at the entrance of the Blue Enchantress room.
It's a pity that God didn't want it.
After Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing moved into the Blue Enchantress, they never left the house again.
Ning Rongrong didn't encounter Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing, but instead met Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had returned to the Rose Hotel, and got to know them.
This explains why Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing saw Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong together in the Rose Hotel restaurant.
…………
They saw that Tang San and Xiao Wu were also there.
Ye Qifeng didn't care.
Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyebrows furrowed instantly, and a hint of disdain almost imperceptibly appeared on her pretty face:
"Brother Ye, that ugly thing and that dead rabbit are here too."
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly and gently patted her shoulder:
"Ignore them, let's eat breakfast first."
"Um."
Zhu Zhuqing obediently nodded in response, concealing the disgust on her face. She then followed Ye Qifeng, picked up a plate, and took some of her favorite breakfast items from the dining table.
They then found an empty table and sat down together with Ye Qifeng.
…………
On the other side of the restaurant.
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were chatting enthusiastically, while Tang San sat next to Xiao Wu, quietly eating his breakfast.
Tang San's eyes were full of smiles as he looked at the chattering Xiao Wu, but when he looked at Ning Rongrong, a glint of shrewdness would occasionally flash in his eyes.
In his previous life, Tang San was a shrewd middle-aged man with a keen eye, so he could naturally see that Ning Rongrong had ulterior motives for approaching him and Xiao Wu.
But Tang San didn't care much about it.
He had already learned from Ning Rongrong that she was a support-type Soul Master and, like them, was also preparing to apply to Shrek Academy.
Since Ning Rongrong might still be useful in the future, it's best to let her stay with me and Xiao Wu for the time being.
Moreover, Xiao Wu seemed to get along very well with Ning Rongrong. It was rare to meet a friend with similar character, so it wouldn't be good to spoil Xiao Wu's fun.
Most importantly.
Ning Rongrong was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and every move she made exuded an air of nobility that ordinary people did not have.
His identity is definitely not ordinary; he should be a descendant of a powerful family or sect.
In that case, perhaps I could sell her some of the Tang Clan hidden weapons I made and make a good profit off her.
Anyway, there are no Tang Clan members in this world, and only I know how to make hidden weapons, so I can set the price myself.
I'll just raise the price as much as I can then. With the power of Tang Clan's hidden weapons, I'm sure Ning Rongrong will take the bait.
It would be even better if we could use this to connect with the family or sect behind her.
If we can secure a large order, we'll surely make a fortune, and the materials and funds for making Tang Clan hidden weapons will be secured in the future.
Besides.
Ning Rongrong is also very beautiful, sweet and charming, cute and adorable. Her appearance is in no way inferior to Xiao Wu's, and it would be quite pleasing to the eye to have her by one's side.
Especially when Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu stand together, they look really good together, making it hard to look away.
Thinking of this, Tang San's smile widened even further.
