Douluo: This soul master is a big eater

Chapter 60 East Palace
Yun Yi held Zhu Zhuqing's hand and walked slowly. Yun Yi could clearly feel that Zhu Zhuqing's body was still trembling slightly. He looked at Zhu Zhuqing and saw that her eyes were still slightly red.

"Okay, stop crying. Ning Fengzhi was just trying to scare us." Yun Yi chuckled and comforted.

Zhu Zhuqing got into Yun Yi's arms, gently patted Yun Yi's chest, and sobbed, "You still have the heart to laugh, what if they really do it?"

Yun Yi smiled upon hearing this and said, "No, Zhuqing, no matter how shameless Ning Fengzhi is, he has to consider Rongrong's feelings. Do you think he will kill us in front of Rongrong?"

Zhu Zhuqing said bitterly, "Ning Fengzhi is such a piece of shit. He changes his attitude at any time. It's a waste of your kindness to Rongrong."

Yun Yi sighed and said, "Zhu Qing, this is the sect master. As the leader of a sect, his perspective is always from the perspective of the sect. I have obvious weaknesses. Before I become the only option, I will always be a backup option."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yun Yi in confusion, waiting for Yun Yi's explanation.

"My weakness is you guys. You may not understand what I mean. Do you know why the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect stipulates that the partner must be a combat soul master? Because combat soul masters can protect the light of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tower. If Rongrong is to inherit the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in the future, his partner must be a combat soul master, and there must be only Rongrong as a woman, because in this way the combat soul master will protect Rongrong wholeheartedly. But I am different. Although I have the confidence to protect you, just like tonight, if the time comes when a choice must be made, Rongrong's chance of survival will drop directly to 50%, which is absolutely not allowed by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and a father."

"Do you still remember the immortal product you gave Rongrong? You guessed it right. I had been ready to give that immortal product to Rongrong a long time ago. But giving things also requires timing. I gave the immortal product illustration to Ning Fengzhi to hint him that I still had the last bargaining chip. But when you gave the immortal product directly to Rongrong, I lost the last bargaining chip. At this stage, I am no longer of much use. In Ning Fengzhi's mind, I can only become Rongrong's backup option, and Ning Fengzhi is also taking this opportunity to crack me down."

"If I can really become very powerful one day, Ning Fengzhi might still marry Rongrong to me. Ning Fengzhi knows me very well. In his opinion, even if he does this, it will not change the feelings between Rongrong and me. Over time, it will make the feelings accumulated between Rongrong and me burst out. Only what you can't get is the best. Feelings that have gone through ups and downs are more precious."

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyi." Zhu Zhuqing whispered in Yun Yi's arms. After Yun Yi's explanation, she now understood everything.

Yun Yi patted Zhu Zhuqing's back gently and smiled, "It's okay, just give it to her. These things have nothing to do with Rongrong. Rongrong is always our good friend, right? Although Ning Fengzhi was aggressive just now, he will not turn against us. If he really turns against us, we two will not be able to go back. If he really kills us, Rongrong will definitely be in trouble."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, but couldn't help showing a resentful expression on her pretty face. She said bitterly, "It's infuriating just thinking about it, you old fox."

"Zhu Qing, you don't have to worry too much. They have also made sacrifices. In this small piece of land of Tiandou, the two of us are still safe. Our connection with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is still very close. If anything big happens, Ning Fengzhi will still choose to help." Yun Yi said softly.

"Will he then put forward some more conditions?" Zhu Zhuqing asked quickly.

"He won't. If he really puts forward conditions to me, then the best person for me to seek help from will become His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yun Yi said softly.

"Your Highness? Isn't he Ning Fengzhi's apprentice?"

“Zhu Qing, the empire and the sect are actually the same. From Tian Dou’s perspective, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no reason to let go of a genius like me. He even wishes I would turn against Ning Fengzhi, so that I would completely belong to the empire and would have nothing to do with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.” Yun Yi chuckled.

"You guys are so cunning." Zhu Zhuqing glared at Yun Yi.

“So I’m saying, someone like Rongrong might be deceived into anything like this.” Yun Yi chuckled.

As they were talking, they had already walked to the hotel entrance.

"Let's go back. Don't think about it anymore. The more you think about it, the more uncomfortable it will be. Ning Fengzhi won't feel good if he goes back. With Rongrong's personality, he will definitely give the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect a big fight." Yun Yi chuckled.

After hearing what Yun Yi said, Zhu Zhuqing felt much better and smiled, "That's true."

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's appearance, Yun Yi smiled, but his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Ning Fengzhi, I'm not like Oscar in the original novel who can be manipulated by you. So far, no one has been able to get anything for free from me." Yun Yi said secretly in his heart.

To be fair, Yun Yi did not hate Ning Fengzhi, because if he were in Ning Fengzhi's shoes, he might have made the same choice, but anyone would feel uncomfortable being treated like this.

Human emotions are so fragile that they only take one opportunity to be completely destroyed in an instant. No matter how Ning Fengzhi tries to compensate him later, Yun Yi will always be on guard against Ning Fengzhi.

Yun Yi returned to the room and was about to hug his little cat to find some psychological comfort, but was sternly rejected by Zhu Zhuqing.

"That old fox Ning Fengzhi has plotted against you, and you still can sleep? Practice, there is no room for negotiation tonight." Zhu Zhuqing crossed her arms and said seriously to Yun Yi.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's serious look, Yun Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't let out this anger for a while. However, Yun Yi also understood that Zhu Zhuqing didn't want him to fall behind in her practice.

Helpless Yun Yi had to sit cross-legged on the sofa and slowly enter a state of meditation.

……

The next day.

After having breakfast with Zhu Zhuqing, Yun Yi was about to participate in the competition when he saw Qin Ming approaching slowly.

"Good morning, senior." Yun Yi and Zhu Zhuqing said with a smile.

Qin Ming looked at Yun Yi with a look of emotion and said slowly, "Junior brother, the game the day before yesterday really opened our eyes. Dean Flanders is really unlucky."

"Senior, you came to find us so early, I guess you have some news to bring us." Yun Yi chuckled.

"It seems that my junior has guessed it a long time ago." Qin Ming smiled when he saw this.

"In order to play fewer games, I just went all out. I believe that except for the strong teams, all the teams will choose to retain their strength when facing our team and try to score as many points as possible to qualify. When there are many weak teams ahead, try not to get injured so that we can safely harvest points." Yun Yi chuckled.

"Yes, your opponent has given up today. If you are interested, you can go and watch the games of other teams."

Yun Yi nodded and smiled, "Thank you, senior."

Qin Ming also nodded slightly in response, and said to Yun Yi, "Recently, I have to do some intensive training for the Royal Fighting Team. During this period, if there are opponents who give up, I will send someone to notify you during breakfast. Then I will leave first."

After saying that, Qin Ming left with the two of them watching him.

"Let's go, we have an important matter today." Yun Yi whispered to Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything, but just looked at Yun Yi with a puzzled look on her face. "You should have shown some attitude after being manipulated by someone last night. It would be embarrassing to just keep silent. How about I take you to Tiandou Palace for a day trip today?" Yun Yi chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing also smiled and nodded slightly.

Then the two of them held hands and slowly walked towards the Tiandou Palace.

Soon, the two of them came hand in hand to the gate of the Prince's Eastern Palace. Before the guards came up to question them, Yun Yi took out the token given by Qian Renxue from the soul guide.

Seeing the token in Yun Yi's hand, all the guards half-knelt down and said in unison, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing this, Yun Yi was not polite. He slowly put away the token and said politely to the guard, "Please report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that Yun Yi and Zhu Zhuqing are here to see you."

The guard nodded and slowly entered the East Palace.

Not long after, the guard who delivered the message slowly came out of the palace and bowed slightly to the two of them, saying, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you, the two distinguished guests, please follow me."

Then the guards led the two of them slowly inside.

Soon, the guards led the two to a courtyard, where they saw Qian Renxue sitting in a small pavilion with some dishes placed on the stone table in front of her.

Seeing this, Yun Yi took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and slowly walked forward, calling softly, "Brother Xue."

Qian Renxue raised her head and smiled warmly, then slowly stood up and said jokingly, "It's been a long time since we last met, Xiaoyi, and you actually took the initiative to come to see me. This is quite rare."

"Brother Xue is very busy, and I dare not disturb him." Yun Yi said with a smile.

Qian Renxue raised her hand and pressed it down, smiling and said, "Alright, there's no need to play these empty games between you and me, sit down."

The three of them sat down slowly. Qian Renxue looked at Zhu Zhuqing and chuckled, "You are really good at choosing people. You directly brought the candidate for the queen of the Xingluo Empire to your side. She is really stunning."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Qian Renxue, who looked like a nobleman in front of him, and smiled slightly, saying softly, "Your Highness, you are too kind. After the competition is over, Xingluo will have nothing to do with me."

Qian Renxue smiled and nodded, then looked at Yun Yi and said softly, "You didn't come here just for this little thing, did you?"

Yun Yi waved his hand and said, "Brother Xue, I am the kind of person who won't come to see you unless there is something important."

Qian Renxue looked at Yun Yi and nodded seriously, "You are."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"You see, my sister-in-law thinks you are too." Qian Renxue smiled, picked up the tea bowl on the table, and took a sip of the fragrant tea.

"Then it seems that I really need to make up some stories. For example, I want to live in your East Palace." Yun Yi said with a smile.

"Cough... cough..." Qian Renxue had estimated many things that Yun Yi wanted in her mind, but she never expected Yun Yi to say this.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing glared at Yun Yi, pinched him with her small hand under the stone table, and said to Qian Renxue, "Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense. They planned to give up as soon as the competition started. It would be great to live in Brother Xue's East Palace. I haven't lived there before. It's a good opportunity for me to accompany Brother Xue, so that he won't accuse me of coming here for no reason. Brother Xue, there should be a training ground in your East Palace. I can take you to train here. How great." Yun Yi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded seriously and said to Yun Yi, "Indeed, if Xiao Yi is willing to live in this deserted East Palace, I will welcome you. Even if there is no training ground, I will make room for you in the East Palace. If you have a competition, I will send a carriage to take you there."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't know what Yun Yi was up to. She just sat aside and glanced at Yun Yi. Seeing that Yun Yi was not shaken at all, she let him go.

"Then it's settled. During the competition, you will live in Brother Xue's Prince's Eastern Palace." Yun Yi said with a smile.

Qian Renxue smiled helplessly. Although there were many rooms in the East Palace, except for the servants' rooms, the other rooms were abandoned. No one had ever dared to ask him, the prince, to live in the East Palace. So Qian Renxue shouted, "Come on, clean up a guest room."

"Yes." A waiter appeared from nowhere and answered with a slight bow.

After the waiter left, Qian Renxue still asked, "Xiao Yi, you really don't have anything to ask me? Or are you a little embarrassed and plan to stay for two days?"

Yun Yi pretended to be confused and said, "Really? No, I'm just a little bored because I don't have a match today, so I came to see you, Brother Xue. In this Tiandou, with your token and Uncle Ning's care, what can I do?"

Hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded at Yun Yi and thought to herself, "What this kid said is indeed true. Could it be that this kid really has nothing to do with looking for me?"

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was thinking about what happened yesterday and understood something. In her opinion, although Ning Fengzhi did not turn against them openly, he might do something in secret. With Yun Yi's character, he would not choose to gamble their lives on Ning Fengzhi's kindness. Now Ning Fengzhi has no credibility in Yun Yi's heart.

Seeing that Yun Yi really looked fine, Qian Renxue could only go and check it out herself.

Qian Renxue then shook her head helplessly and said, "In that case, Xiaoyi, you can stay here with Zhuqing and treat this place as your own home. As for the training ground, you can just ask the servants in the palace. Big brother needs to take care of some things later, and will come back to see you when he has time."

Yun Yi smiled and nodded when he heard this, saying, "Brother, go and get busy. I won't be polite with you."

Qian Renxue smiled and nodded in response, then slowly left.

Yun Yi looked at Zhu Zhuqing beside him and smiled, "Let's go, let's go around the East Palace and start training when we find the training ground."

The two looked at each other, chuckled and nodded.
