Chapter 71: Zeng Xin's promise

Tang San nodded,

"Senior Dugu promised, only he said he wouldn't always stay at the Academy. And only as an advisor."

Flender and Liu Erlong simultaneously looked toward Grandmaster. Among the trio, Grandmaster was always the wise corner with a plan.

Grandmaster's rigid face twitched once,

"Senior Dugu, greetings."

Flender, extremely enthusiastic, was the first to step towards Dugu Bo with a smile. Even though the smile seemed a bit sinister on his face, the light in his eyes was sincere.

Dugu Bo nodded to Flender, something like returning the politeness.

"I promised the little freak to be your advisor here, I don't know whether you're willing?"

Dugu Bo had never been a person fond of indirectness, and with his position it was also completely unnecessary. He immediately got right to the point with his purpose in coming.

Promising Tang San to come here was admittedly because it was Zeng Xin's condition. He asked him to become Shrek Academies Advisor if he wanted Tang San.

Flender said without the slightest hesitation:

"Of course we are. You coming to this Academy will simply bring light to our humble Shrek Academy."

"Since you agreed, find me a quiet place to stay. I'm tired, I'll rest first."

Flender immediately agreed. Even if there was nothing prepared in advance, dealing with such ad hoc circumstances wasn't difficult,

"Then follow me, senior."

While speaking, he led the way ahead, bringing Dugu Bo into the Academy.

When Dugu Bo passed by Zeng Xin, his lips moved, saying something to Zeng Xin. He then followed Flender away.

Watching Flender lead Dugu Bo away, Liu Erlong couldn't help but ask Tang San:

"Little San, how did you do it? This old freak agreed to come to our Academy. It's really too inconceivable."

Tang San smiled slightly, saying:

"I don't know, he said he will become our academy advisor if I will help him."

Grandmaster said:

"No matter how, this is excellent."

"Teacher, is everyone well?"

Being gone for half a year, Tang San had greatly missed his teachers and companions. Especially Xiao Wu.

Grandmaster nodded with a smile, saying:

"They're all very well. If you had returned a few days later, maybe we wouldn't have been here."

"Why?"

Grandmaster said:

"In this past half year they have all made considerable progress. Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong have all broken through the thirtieth rank, and already possess their third spirit rings. Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing's spirit power has also advanced two ranks, and Xiao Wu has even advanced three ranks. Dai Mubai is in seclusion, attacking the fortieth rank bottleneck."

"Take a look at Fan Lin. Does he not look good? Tang San, you have to train diligently. Though you can never catch him but try your best to narrow the gap between you, Okay?"

"I will try my best, Teacher. By the way Brother Fan, How old beast you hunted this time?"

Tang San asked Zeng Xin, hearingTang San, and others also turned their attention to him. Zeng Xin just smiled and said,

"You will see in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament."

----------------------------

"Tang San, Lets so see them. Come on."

Zeng Xin was impatient to meet Zhu Zhuqing after being away for six months. Tang San nodded and followed him.

"I'll go with you." Grandmaster said and saturated following them as well.

Zeng Xin glanced at Grandmaster, then again at Liu Erlong. The two's expressions were like always, and no change could be seen on the surface. Even though they didn't seem intimate, he could feel that Grandmaster seemed to be able to calmly accept Liu Erlong's existence.

"Okay, then, Tang San you go with Grandmaster. I will find Zhu Zhuqing."

Zeng Xin vanished from the location and moved toward the forest, where all of them were training. Zeng Xin stopped in front of a shrubbery. Zeng milled and shouted.

"Zhuqing, are you there?"

With a flicker, a silhouette flashed out of the shrubbery. A pink tender face brimming with beauty, an extremely well developed figure that is somewhat inconsistent with her age. If not seeing her face, very likely one would believe she is an adult young lady, especially the imposing bosom, even more could attract all men's attention.

"Zeng Xin, you've come..."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't finish speaking, because in her eyes it had already appeared that the person she had waited for the most. She threw herself into Zeng Xin's embrace. She nestled her pink tender young face deep in Zeng Xin's shoulder, her own shoulders trembling fiercely.

Zeng Xin could clearly feel Zhu Zhuqing's frantic heartbeats. Wrapping his arms around Zhu Zhuqing, the rims of his eyes were immediately somewhat red.

After the Nephalem ring manifestation, he has changed a lot. He has grown a lot taller. Though he is thirteen, he is a head taller than Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhuqing, don't cry. Haven't I come back?"

Zeng Xin lightly stroked her back, somewhat choked consoling her.

"You said you will come soon, don't you like me anymore? Why would you leave for so long."

The front of Zeng Xin's shoulder was already drenched by Zhuqing's tears. Her legs wrapped tightly about Zeng Xin's waist, seemingly afraid he would run away again.

Zhu Zhuqing raised her head, and by now her eyes were already thoroughly red:

"Don't leave me alone next time. If you want to cultivate, take me with you."

"Fine, fine, I promise."

While Zeng Xin wiped her tears, he repeatedly consoled her.

Zhu Zhuqing's tears then turned to happiness, once again leaning against Zeng Xin's shoulder,

Zeng Xin was a lot more cool headed than Zhuqing. Lightly swatting Zhu Zhuqing's butt,

"Okay, Okay. Come down now. What if anyone else saw us like this?"

Zhu Zhuqing's charming face immediately blushed, letting go of Zeng Xin's waist and dropping to the ground. But she still held on to his arm, and no matter what was said wouldn't agree to let go.

"Okay, let's go find the others."

---------------------------

In a little while, Zeng Xin found everyone except Dai Mubai, and the seven Shrek Seven Devils gathered in a hall. Everyone was happy to see Zeng Xin again.
