章節 257: Chapter 257: Unheard Words
...
In the forest, the figures of two people continuously crossed paths, the force of their swings causing a burst of sound in the air.
Although Zeng Yi and Zhu Zhuqing were engaged in a battle, it was more accurate to say that Zhu Zhuqing was testing her sword skills against Zeng Yi. Neither of them used their Martial Spirit, Spirit power, or Spirit skills. With just their swordsmanship, it was impossible for Zhu Zhuqing, who had only been practicing for a year, to be a match for Zeng Yi. Even though her sword talent was extremely high, when facing Zeng Yi, who was also talented in swordsmanship, the gap in time couldn't be easily bridged.
Zhu Zhuqing's every stab and slash was easily resolved by Zeng Yi, who appeared calm and relaxed, his breath stable as if taking a leisurely stroll in a courtyard. On the other hand, Zhu Zhuqing, unable to land a hit on Zeng Yi for a long time, started to grow impatient. Her attacks became faster, with various changes in her sword moves, but it was obvious that she was rushing and her steps became disordered.
Chi~
Zhu Zhuqing held her Bamboo sword straight ahead, and the speed and strength caused the air to emit a powerful sword sound. Although the blade appeared blunt, it was filled with sharpness, aiming directly at Zeng Yi's face.
Zeng Yi's eyes reflected the approaching sword, and a gust of wind struck his face.
Zhu Zhuqing was fast, but Zeng Yi's response was even faster. He used his Bamboo sword to lift Zhu Zhuqing's attacking sword from bottom to top and then turned his wrist, effortlessly changing the direction of her attack.
Realizing that her strength had been neutralized by Zeng Yi, Zhu Zhuqing felt a shock in her heart. Just as she was about to retreat, Zeng Yi stepped forward and swiftly slashed with his Bamboo sword.
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Zhuqing had no time to react. She watched as Zeng Yi's Bamboo sword slashed towards her neck and involuntarily closed her eyes.
Huh~
The blade, carrying a powerful gust of wind, suddenly stopped just before touching Zhu Zhuqing's fair neck.
Feeling that she hadn't been hit, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but open her eyes and saw Zeng Yi right in front of her, less than half a meter away. There was a faint smile on his face, and his gaze towards her carried a hint of teasing.
"You're getting anxious. Is something bothering you? I feel like you're distracted." Zeng Yi sheathed his Bamboo sword and asked Zhu Zhuqing. Through her sword moves, Zeng Yi could sense her lack of focus and attention.
Upon hearing Zeng Yi's words, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flashed with panic for an instant, but she quickly concealed it and said lightly, "No, you're thinking too much."
After speaking, she realized that Zeng Yi couldn't hear her voice at the moment, so she wrote on a note and showed it to him.
However, Zeng Yi clearly caught a glimpse of her panic. After training with her so many times, Zeng Yi had never seen her behave like she did today.
"Really nothing?" Zeng Yi asked again, worried.
[I'm fine!] Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.
Seeing her like this, Zeng Yi sighed and said, "Well, if you really have something you can't solve, you can come find me for help."
Hearing Zeng Yi's words, Zhu Zhuqing's heart was moved, but when she thought of that matter, her eyes dimmed.
Just cherish the present time. Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fist, and her previously confused eyes began to firm up.
[Let's continue!]
Seeing the words on the note in Zhu Zhuqing's hand, Zeng Yi sighed helplessly. He thought that her current state wasn't suitable for training, but since he had promised to train with her today, he could only go along with it. Perhaps practicing swordsmanship would help calm her state of mind.
In the evening, on a lawn in the academy, the setting sun cast a crimson glow, a refreshing breeze blew, and the blades of grass swayed gently, creating a beautiful and serene scene.
Zeng Yi lay on the grass, facing the sunset, his hands supporting his head. Xiao Ju perched on his chest, as if falling asleep.
With a gentle breeze blowing, Zeng Yi closed his eyes, a pleasant and content expression on his face.
Zhu Zhuqing sat squatting beside Zeng Yi, her hands wrapped around her knees. Her beautiful eyes gazed at the red sun on the horizon, her black, straight hair flowing behind her with the light breeze.
The strands of hair brushed in front of Zeng Yi's nose, making him feel itchy as if wanting to sneeze, but he resisted the urge.
Opening his eyes, Zeng Yi brushed Zhu Zhuqing's hair to the side with his hand and looked at her sitting beside him. He smiled and said, "How about it? The scenery here is beautiful, right? I come here every late afternoon and lie down for an hour. The sunset's afterglow, the gentle breeze, and the perfect view of the entire academy from here. It seems to dissipate all the weariness and unhappiness of the day, immersing oneself in this wonderful place to relax."
Zeng Yi had spent the whole day practicing with Zhu Zhuqing and stopped when it was dusk. He disregarded Zhu Zhuqing's request to continue training and brought her to this place, knowing that she seemed troubled and wanted her to relax. He had discovered this place himself, and as far as he knew, he hadn't seen anyone else here yet. Zhu Zhuqing was the first person he brought here, and he didn't want this peaceful place to become chaotic.
"Am I the first one?" Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback by Zeng Yi's words and muttered to herself before turning her face and smiling sweetly at him.
[Thank you, this place is really beautiful.]
Zhu Zhuqing sat on the grass, gazing at the red sun in the distance, allowing the gentle breeze to brush against her, feeling all the burdens, worries, and stress seem to dissipate. Her mind became clear, and her state of mind became transparent, a feeling she had never experienced before, an elevation of her spirit.
Zhu Zhuqing's fairy-like smile made Zeng Yi feel a little absent-minded.
Zhu Zhuqing was an incredibly beautiful woman, even though she was only thirteen years old, her body had developed voluptuously, surpassing what was expected at her age. At such a young age, she already possessed an enchanting beauty.
Although all three girls in the Shrek Seven Devils were exceptionally beautiful, with their looks not inferior to each other, Zhu Zhuqing's overall score was slightly higher due to her early development. Zhu Zhuqing's beauty stood out more than the other two.
Zeng Yi was already very familiar with these stunning girls, and he prided himself on having a high resistance to beautiful women. He also had no interest in pursuing girls or finding a girlfriend. In his heart, cultivation always took precedence. Besides, he considered himself to be in his thirties mentally, making him more like an uncle figure. These young girls were still immature in his eyes.
It's illegal to flirt!
Zeng Yi had received many love letters and confessions in the academy, but he had turned them all down.
Falling in love at first sight with someone you only met once? What a joke! The so-called love at first sight was just a desire for someone's body.
Zeng Yi didn't have time to play games like love at first sight with a bunch of little kids.
It had to be said that the girls in Douluo Continent were all beautiful, and Zeng Yi hadn't seen any ugly ones.
Having seen so many beauties, Zeng Yi had never been amazed by anyone's appearance. But at this moment, Zhu Zhuqing had astonished him.
[What's wrong?]
Seeing Zeng Yi's dazed expression, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but ask.
A light breeze blew, and Zhu Zhuqing's smooth hair fluttered against her cheeks. She couldn't help but extend her delicate jade finger and brush the hair behind her ear.
Her action of tucking the hair behind her ear stirred something in Zeng Yi's heart.
"Oh, nothing, hehehe." Zeng Yi sat up and scratched his cheek with his finger, laughing awkwardly.
Taking a deep breath and adjusting his mood, Zeng Yi looked at the red sun on the horizon, his arms opened as if embracing the sky. He said, "The most beautiful moment is yet to come. Lying on the grass, watching the sunset, the glow dispersing, followed by the arrival of night with a bright, full moon replacing the red sun. The vast night sky adorned with stars, the neon lights of the academy lighting up in the darkness. Watching the transition from twilight to starry night, it's an unparalleled enjoyment."
[I'm really looking forward to the scene you described.]
"Hahaha, I won't let you down." Zeng Yi laughed.
The two of them immersed themselves in the moment for more than ten seconds, then Zhu Zhuqing extended a note to Zeng Yi.
[Are you really graduating?]
Zeng Yi nodded and said, "Of course."
After hearing Zeng Yi's words, Zhu Zhuqing fell silent for a moment.
[When will you leave?]
"Um, when Rongrong finds Spirit Master to heal my ears, I will leave the academy."
[Where will you go after leaving the academy?]
"Of course, I will return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. My disciple, Yan Que, is still in the sect, and I have to see how she's doing."
[Will we meet again?]
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Zeng Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course, I will be at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If you need anything, you can come find me there. Moreover, I promised Grandmaster that I will give you special training before the competition. After visiting the sect, I will personally come to Shrek Academy to teach you in person. I hope you won't cry by then."
[Thank you very much!] Hearing Zeng Yi's words, Zhu Zhuqing's lips curved into a smile, and she chuckled lightly.
The two of them sat quietly on the lawn, watching the sunset, until it descended and the bright moon replaced the red sun in the night sky. The sparkling stars adorned the vast sky, and the neon lights of the distant academy illuminated the darkness. Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but become fascinated by this beautiful scene.
Under the starry sky, both of them stood up, gazing at the sparkling academy in the distance.
"How is it? Isn't this scenery beautiful? Does it make you feel much better?" Zeng Yi looked at the figure in front of him and smiled.
Zhu Zhuqing turned her body and looked at Zeng Yi, a happy smile on her face. Her beautiful eyes, like autumn water, revealed an unstoppable joy.
[This is the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen in my life!]
Hearing her words, Zeng Yi couldn't help but find it amusing and said, "Isn't it a bit early to say that now? Life is still long, and you will surely see even more beautiful scenery in the future."
[Maybe, but in this moment, I will forever remember it in my heart.]
Looking at the person in front of her, Zhu Zhuqing lightly bit her lip. She wrote her name on the note and held it out to Zeng Yi.
[Zeng Yi!]
"What's the matter?" Seeing Zhu Zhuqing write down his name, Zeng Yi was puzzled.
The two stood facing each other.
Zhu Zhuqing put her hands behind her, her eyes narrowed, and a charming smile appeared on her face.
At that moment, a gust of night wind blew, and Zhu Zhuqing's long hair suddenly fluttered.
When her hair flew up, Zeng Yi saw Zhu Zhuqing's mouth move as if saying something.
"What did you just say?"
[I'm very happy today. Thank you, Zeng Yi!]
