Chapter 47: Recruiting Zhu Zhuqing!
When Ning Rongrong spoke, her face did not display any arrogance. Instead, she was remarkably sincere.
"Zhuqing, I am the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's leader. If everything goes as planned, I will become the next clan leader."
"Help me, Zhuqing!"
"Join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. The clan will provide you with resources for your cultivation. If you can become my protector, you will have unlimited resources as long as you need them!"
Ning Rongrong spoke earnestly, her words filled with anticipation.
She had rehearsed this many times with Ning Fengzhi, learning how to recruit geniuses and how to make grand promises. Of course, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was wealthy and did not care about such resources.
If you were truly talented, as long as you joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and remained loyal, the clan would never cut off your resources! They hoped you would grow quickly and become as strong as possible!
Unlimited resources were a boast only a clan like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan could make!
After hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing was stunned. She never expected that Ning Rongrong was the daughter of the clan leader and that she was trying to recruit her!
Everyone thought Ning Rongrong was just a direct descendant, a genius of the clan, but no one imagined she was the daughter of the clan leader, the future head of the clan.
If she were an ordinary girl, she would have readily agreed.
But Zhu Zhuqing was no ordinary girl. She was a noble of the Star Luo Empire, a member of the Zhu family. Her future was either death or becoming the empress of the Star Luo Empire.
Of course, she had no interest in becoming an empress; she just wanted to survive.
"Rongrong, my identity is somewhat special. I might not be able to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan."
Zhu Zhuqing was tempted. To say otherwise would be a lie.
After all, this was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, one of the top three sects on the Douluo Continent!
"???"
Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing in confusion. Did she have a special identity? She had never heard of a sect with the martial soul of the Netherworld Spirit Cat!
Since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was in the Heaven Dou Empire, Ning Fengzhi prioritized teaching Ning Rongrong about the powers and inherited martial souls within the Heaven Dou Empire.
Ning Rongrong was still young, and it was impossible for her to learn everything at once. Not knowing about the inherited martial soul of the Netherworld Spirit Cat was quite normal.
Perhaps it was someone's oversight.
The Netherworld Spirit Cat and the Evil Eyed White Tiger had been inherited martial souls in the Star Luo Empire for thousands of years, used by the royal family. It was surprising that Ning Fengzhi hadn't mentioned it during his teachings. Who could she complain to about this?
Since Ning Rongrong had already laid her cards on the table, Zhu Zhuqing did not hold back either. She told Ning Rongrong about her identity and why she had come to the Heaven Dou Empire.
After hearing Zhu Zhuqing's story, Ning Rongrong was stunned.
No wonder Dai Mubai had always been watching Zhu Zhuqing—there was a reason behind it…
After learning about the traditions of the Star Luo Empire, Ning Rongrong asked in confusion, "Since you know you are a discarded pawn, why not escape?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Rongrong and rolled her eyes. This smart young lady now had "wisdom" shining in her eyes.
"That's an empire! Where could I escape to?"
Ning Rongrong: "…"
The light of foolishness faded as Ning Rongrong understood that Zhu Zhuqing was resigned to her fate.
Suddenly, Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up. Zhu Zhuqing was merely a discarded pawn. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan intervened, it might be possible to protect her.
However, doing so might come at a considerable cost for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan!
Would it be worth it?
"Zhuqing, you are just a discarded pawn. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan should be able to protect you. But, you would have to become my protector forever. You..."
Before Ning Rongrong could finish, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes brightened. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan could really save her, becoming Ning Rongrong's lifelong protector wouldn't be a problem. After all, Ning Rongrong was a girl; what could she possibly do to her?
"As long as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan saves me, I am willing to protect you for life. Unless I die, you will never be in danger."
Zhu Zhuqing spoke with determination.
"It seems some costs are worth it!" Ning Rongrong thought to herself.
Zhu Zhuqing, despite the short time they had known each other, didn't seem like the type to go back on her word. Since she had agreed to join them, they would have to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Ning Rongrong would need to appeal to Chen Xin and Gu Rong, and only then would Ning Fengzhi, her father, muster the courage to negotiate with the noble Zhu family and the Star Luo royalty.
Given Zhu Zhuqing's talent, the cost seemed unreasonable, but she was the first person Ning Rongrong had successfully recruited. If she failed, it might leave her with regrets for the rest of her life!
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuqing's integration into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan went smoothly! But that's a story for another time…
Soto City, one of the most bustling cities in the Balak Kingdom, was just beginning its nightlife.
People who had been busy all day wouldn't think of resting until at least 3 AM.
Entertainment was scarce on the Douluo Continent, and soul masters mainly entertained themselves through soul fights. Ordinary people enjoyed watching these soul fights! Thus, the soul fighting arenas were born.
Soul masters held the most prestigious profession on the continent, without a doubt! But they too had their worries: lack of money and battle experience.
Therefore, most soul masters didn't mind being watched by ordinary people during their fights.
When they won, the cheers and admiring looks from the crowd made them lose themselves…
The medals from the soul fighting arena were also a symbol of honor, which further reduced any resistance from the soul masters.
"Most of the common matches in the soul fighting arena are staged, arranged by the arena itself."
"The soul skills look impressive but are aimed at the floor. These people have practiced their performance!" Kong commented while sitting in the audience.
"There's not as much fighting and killing as you think; it's all about connections and relationships."
Most of the matches were like performance shows, appearing thrilling but actually ending without serious harm.
Those who frequented the arena knew the importance of maintaining relationships since they often saw each other. Proper etiquette was crucial.
However, there were some aggressive participants in the matches. For instance, Tang San and his friends liked to injure their opponents, whether lightly or severely, depending on their mood. Of course, this refers to the Tang San and his friends from the original story; the current Tang San and his friends had not yet entered the arena.
After watching the spectacle, Kong and Dugu Yan left Shrek Academy while Ning Rongrong was packing in the dormitory, unaware that Zhu Zhuqing had also left.
"Kong, back when I was at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, there was a..."
